Wilson A;vocat-s, Tra'.l'.e with • Reds
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 (EP)—Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson today advocated more trade
with the Communists as a course which would ultimately strengthen the free world. Exports to Iron
Curtain countries should be confined to non-military items, he told the House Ways and Means
Committee, and the test should always be whether the exchange of goods benefits the West.
Wilson said he would favor the controversial plan for selling surplus American butter to Soviet
Russia, perhaps in exchange for manganese, a strategic metal in short supply in this country.
Ike Sets Up
New Job Nan
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 , (PPl—
Dwight D. Eisenhower
today set up a new program de
signed to strengthen the federal
government's policy , of filling jobs
without regard to race, creed or
color.
He established a five-man com
mittee to carry out a nondiscrim
ination order and said it would
have increased stature . over the
government's old Fair, Employ
m'nt Board, whic'a was simul
taneously abolished.
James C. Hagerty, White House
press secretary, said the increased
stature would derive from the
committee's specified authority to
report directly to the President.
The Fair Employment Board, cre
ated by President Truman in 1948,
operated under the Civil Service
Commission.
Maxwell Abbell, Chicago law
yer was named chairman of the
committee. Archibald J. Carey Jr.,
Chicago alderman and an alter
nate delegate to the UN General
Assembly in 1953. was made vice
chairman.

ATLANTA, Jan. 18 (JP)—South
ern Presbyterians today defeated
a plan to merge with their north
er,' brethren.

trict:, in the southern states voted
against combining th e 757,000-
- member Presbyterian Church in
the U.S.A., mostly northern and
the 229,000-member United Pres
byterian Church. .

There are many other trading
possibilities, he said, through
which this country could benefit
not only by the exchange of com
modities but also by helping Com
munist peoples to get rid of their
fear and antagonism for the
United States. • "We've got to do
that ultimately," he said.
Wilson gave his views in re
sponse to questions from commit
tee members. He was one' of sev
eral members of President Dwight
D. Eisenhower's Cabinet who ap
peared before the committee to
support the administration's pro
posal for a three-year extension
of the reciprocal Trade Act, which
expires Jane 12.
Tariff Cuts
Among other things, Eisenhow
er wants authority to cut tariffs
up to 5 per cent a year during the
three-year period in exchange for
trade concessions by various for
eign nations.
Secretary of Commerce Sinclair
Weeks, who also testified today,
argued the President's program
will help maintain prosperity and
will not harm American industries
seriously if they are efficiently
managed. Secretary of Labor Ste
phen A. Mitchell said the program
would help workers as Well as in
dustry generally.
During the discussion on Red
trade Rep. Harrison (D-Va) said
it would be disastrous if the Uni
ted States ever became dependent
on the Communists for such - key
supplies as managanese. Wilson
assured him that such items would
be stockpiled and an import pro-

Dulles Sug ests UN Talks
On Formosa Controversy
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 (/P)—
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles opened the door today for
the United Nations to arrange a
cease-fire halting the spreading
war in the Formosa Strait be
tween Chinese Communists and
Nationalists.
He spoke out at a news con
ference after President Dwight D.
Eisenhower briefed Republican
congressional leaders on the latest
battle off the China coast—the
Chinese Red assault on Yikiang
shan Island some 200 miles north
of Formosa. The Defense Depart
ment said it received official
word that the island had fallen.
Eisenhower arranged to meet
later with Adm. Arthur W. Rad
ford, chairman of his Joint Chiefs
of Staff, perhaps to discuss what
effect the development has on
American pledges to defend For
mosa and the nearby Pescadores
Islands.
In talking with reporters Dulles
said—for the first time—that a
cease fire in the Formosa area
generally would be in line with
American and UN policy. The
United States does not intend to
negotiate for such a cease-fire, he
said, but would offer no objec
tions if the UN moved into the
picture.
At the UN, officials said it
would be necessary for a member
governinent to propose that the
UN do something about a cease-
needs are always changing, there's
always something new coming up.
"I started with Indiana Bell in 1952,
after two years in the Army. My train
ing program exposed me to many dif
ferent kinds of telephone work—cus
tomer contact, personnel, accounting,
operations. I saw a lot of jobs which
looked as interesting as mine. As
much as I like the kind of Work I'm
doing now, I bet I'll like my next spot
even better."
fire. They pointed out , that the
world organization has no author
ity to act on its own initiative.
They added that no government
so far had suggested that the UN
move into the picture and attempt
to arrange a cease-fire.
Cost.' Rican
mar Resumed
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Jan. 13
(?P)—Costa Rica's seven-day-old
war crackled into renewed action
today. The General Staff an
nounced advanced government
units made contact with the
rebels north of Santa Rosa in the
northwest and declared, "We've
got them on :,he run there."
A broadcast by the secret rebel
radio, heard at Managua, Nicara
gua, claimed 200 rebels had land
ed in an amphibious operation
near Limon, Costa Rican port on
the Caribbean 70 miles east of
San Jose.
The General Staff said it had
no immediate report on any land
ings at Limon, but a telephone
call directly from that port said
the situation was normal. The in
formant said the government con
ols beaches and any
_.rebel
landing would have to be made
on a swampy flat or on the open
coastline. •
