In ' Clit,rter 11: • ::;;.i.S., Land
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 .KlP)—More than one fourth of the United States land area was
declared off limits to - Russians today in reprisal against similar curbs against Americans
in the Soviet Union..
The retaliatory action was disclosed by the State Department after Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles notified Soviet Ambassador Georgi N. Zarubin that the United States
had revised its travel regulations.
The new U.S. rules, effective immediately, apply to all Soviet citizens in this country
except about 50 accredited to the United Nations as employes of the United Nations Sec
retariat. Officials estimated about 400 Russians, officials and their families, are affected.
Eisenhower
Fires 3002
As Risks
• WASHINGTON, Jan. 3, (IP)—
'The Civil Service Commission
said today the Eisenhower admin
istration has fired 3002 federal
employes as security risks. It said
5006 others resigned while se
'curity checks were under way.
Of the total of 8008, it said, 2096
employes had varying amounts
of subversive data chalked up
against them in their files.
The report covered the period
from May 18, 1953, when the Eis
enhower security risk program
went into effect, through last
Sept. 30. It was released two days
in advance of the opening of the
new Congress, in which several
Democrats plan to investigate the
fairness and validity of the pro
gram.
There were four categories list
ed:
2096 whose files contained in
formation indicating, in varying
degrees, subversive activities, sub
versive associations, or member
ship in subversive organizations.
655 whose files contained in
formation indicating sex perver
sion.
2649 whose files contained in
formation indicating conviction of
felonies or misdemeanors.
4417 whose files contained any
other type of information falling
within ,the purview of the pro
gram.
These four groups add up to
more than 8008 because some em
ployes had information in. their
files falling under more than one
category. Conceivably, a man
might be listed as a Communist,
a drunkard and a gossip—or just
one of the three. •
Benson Criticizes
Department Move
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 (A')—
Secretary Ezra T. Benson iaid to
day it was a mistake for the Agri
culture Department to make pub
lic a letter from George N. Vitt
commenting on its refusal to ac
cept Wolf Ladejinsky as an agri
cultural attache for Japan.
Vitt, industrial editor of Ameri
can Exporter Publications at New
York City, made several refer
ences to Jews in his letter which
was made public, last week by Mi
lan Smith, executive assistant to
Benson.
Release of the letter has drawn
criticism from a number of Jewish
groups and organizations on the
contention that it carried anti-
Semitic overtones.
$8.5 Million Asked
For Mine Drainage
(-1 WASHINGTON (/P)—Rep. Ivor
D. Fenton, Maloney City, Pa. Re
publican, said today he will in
troduce a bill urging that Con
gress appropriate $8,500,000 to
help drain Pennsylvania anthra
cite• mines.
Fenton said the measure would
require Pennsylvania to contrib
ute an equal amount, because the
mine drainage problem is a threat
not only tO an important natural
resource 'but also to lives and
property.
The ',congressman said he has
been assured of backing for the
project from the Eisenhower, ad
ministration.

The restricted area, according
to U.S. officials, covers 27 per
cent of the United States. It in
cludes about 1000 countries in 39
states, all of the Mexican border
except Webb County, Tex., and a
15-mile band around the Great
Lakes on the Canadian border. For
the first time, it creates barred
areas and closed cities.
The tough regulations were
clamped down, officials said, be
cause Russia had shown no sign
of easing up on its restrictions
dating back to 1948. However,
they suggested that if and when
the Kremlin is ready to do like
wise, the U.S. government will
consider easing up its travel re
strictions.
Dillies' note said the new regu
lations will apply until further
notice. He said it will . include
all resident Soviet citizens ex
cept UN Secretariat employes. Al
so exempted are Russians tem
porarily admitted for specific pur
poses not involving residence ei
ther - at Washington or New York.
Otherwise, Dulles said, a 1952
regulation stays in efect—confin
ing all Russians to within 25 miles
of the centers of Washington and
New York. They must give 48
hours advance notice of any
planned travel outside this area.
Even then they are barred from
the border zones and the banned
states, counties and cities. How
ever, there are some instances in
which specific cities are declared
open within countries that are
closed. There also are rules gov
erning travel within such areas
along specified routes.
U.S. officials would not go into
detail as to how the prohibited
areas were selected. They said
there were many considerati6ns,
the two chief criteria being re
ciprocity and security.
Department officials said Rus
sia's restrictions ban tra vc.,l by
U.S. citizens and other foreigners
to about 30 per, cent of the Soviet
Union.
Americans in the Soviet are
confined to within 25 miles of
Moscow and must not go within
15 miles of the U.S.S.R. frontier
with Norway, Finland, Turkey,
Iran and Afghanistan.

, °••e• Urges Peace
VATICAN CITY, Jan. 3 (EP)—
Pope Pius XII has urged the
world to transform the current
cold peace
_into a true peace as
soon as possible. He called upon
Christians to help build a bridge
of peace between East and West.
But he warned anew against Com
munist propaganda.
The pontiff's plea was made in
his 16th annual Christmas mes
sage, which illness prevented him
from delivering Christmas eve.
Dated Dec. 24, the 6000-word mes
sage ,was released today by the
Vatican.
Like its 15 'predecessors, the
message was devoted to peace.
The 78-year-old head of the Ro
man Catholic Church recognized
that, compared with the years of
war and cold war, the present
cold peace indicates some prog

Manila Treaty
Members Plan
Positive Action
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 VP)—
The foreign ministers of the eight
Manila Pact nations announced
today they will meet Feb. 23 at
Bangkok, Thailand, to begin de
livering on the treaty's promises
to defend Southeast Asia.
Announcement of the gathering
was made simultaneously -in the
capitals of all eight countries—
Australia, France, New. Zealand,
Pakistan, the Philippines, Thai
land, Britain and th e United
States.
"The purpose of the meeting,"
said the U.S. State Department,
"will be to consider arrange
ments for the implementation of
the Manila treaty and to ex
change views on matters . affect
ing the peace and security of the
treaty area."
Perhaps the most troubled spot
of the area is Indochina, where a
truce this summer ended nearly
eight years of fighting without
keeping the Communists ou t.
Laos, Cambodia an d Southern
Viet Nam—the Associated States
of Indochina—are , covered by . the
treaty although they are not sign
ers.
The military aspects of Indo
china—meaning the growing Com
munist forces in the north—will
be considered at the Bangkok
meeting. So,'too, will be the ques
tion of subversive infiltration. of
the weak government of South
ern Viet Nam.
U.S. policy in Indochina has
been to reduce the size and boost
the efficiency of local armed
forces, so as to prepare them to
cope better with subversion.
peace properly so called.
The world's current cold peace
he called only a provisional calm.
Its duration is conditioned upon
fear and the varying calculations
of strength and has nothing in it
of relationships that converge to
ward a common purpose that is
right and just, he explained.
Much of the pontiff's message
waS devoted to peaceful coexist
ence, which he divided into three
sections: Coexistence in fear, co
existence in error and coexist
ence in truth. Only the third, he
said, can lead to true peace.
He warned sharply against a
return to the nationalistic state,
saying:
"To soon have been forgotten
the enormous mass of lives „sac
rificed and. goods extorted, by'this
type of state, and the crushing
economic and spiritual burdens
imposed by it."
Tito's Party May Split
Due to Yugoslav -Feud
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Jan. 3 (JP)—A Yugoslav domestic feud
developed into a possible split—at least on the surface—in Presi
dent Marshal Tito's Communist government.
Tito, on a state visit to India and Burma, was described by For
eign Secretary Koca Popovic in Calcutta as having no advance in
formation about criminal proceedings , filed last week against for
mer Vice President Milovan Djil
as and Parliament Deputy Vladi
mir Dedijer, Tito's biographer.
Both Djilas and Dedijer have
been allowed to remain technical
ly free after preliminary question
ing on charges that they attempt
ed to undermine the state. Both
have been ordered by Belgrade's
Circuit Court to remain silent un
til a verdict is reached.
In Calcutta, Popovic told a news
conference the action started by
Vice President Edvard Kardelj,
acting chief of state, was taken
with consultation with Tito. The
statement came as a surprise to
many persons here.
If true, it might mark the great
est rift within the Yugoslav Coin
munist party since Djilas was
shorn of his office and ousted
from the party a year ago after
writing a series of articles, criti
cizing government policies and
accusing wives of officials of
'snubbing the actress bride of the
army chief of staff, Col. Gen,
Peko Dapcevic.
All three principles in the case
-Djilas, Dedijer and Kardelj—
were close associates of Tito in
World War 11, They' fought to
gether to liberate Yugoslavia from
the Axis Powers and later work
ed together to capture control of
!the government.
Congress Urges
Action Against
#Nrromunist Plan
WASHINGTON. San. 3 0 3 )—A
congressional committee urged to
day that the United States launch
immediately a positive, bipartisan,
political offensive to counteract
what it called a Communist plan
for lulling the free world into in
action and starting World War 111
at a time of the Kremlin's choos
ing.
The committee concluded that
Russia's peaceful coexistence talk
is designed to gain time that will
enable the Soviets to divide and
destroy free world alliances and
pave the way for Red aggression.
"The time was never more op
portune for the free world to ini
tiate a bold. positive political of
fensive as the only course which
gives reasonable hope for avoid
ing all-out war," the committee
said.
Although the committee goes out
of existence with the convening
of the new Congress this week it
recommended its work' be con
tinued and extended into other
areas. Its investigations were con
centrated on areas within the So
viet Union and Eastern Europe
except for a special study of Latin
America, centering on Guatemala.
At a . news conference in con
nection with publication of the
committee report, one member,
Rep. Madden (D-Ind.), said an un
derground has been conducting
effective counterespionage and
sabotage in Soviet satellites.
