Dudes Accuses Reds
Of Seeking Goa War
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 W) —Secretary of State John Poster
Dulles today accused Russian leaders of trying to provoke India
Into using force in its quarrel with Portugal over the Portuguese
colony of Goa.
Dulles told a news conference that
and Nikita Khrushchev, the Communist
using their tour of India,'Burma
tod Afghanistan for the purpose
of spreading hatred and prejudice.
He said it was to dear such a
threatening atmosphere that he
joined Portugal’s Foreign Minister
Paulo Cunha last Friday in de
crying what Khrushchev and Bul
ganin have been crying.
Stands Behind Statement
Dulles said he still stands be
hind that statement, which has
caused vehement Indian protests.
But he emphasized the statement
in no .way takes sides between
India and Portugal over Goa. the
little territory on India’s west
coast.
Many Western observers in In
dia believe Dulles may have given
the Russians fresh ammunition
for the propaganda war with the
statement. Goa is a very sore
point with most Indians and one
influential American businessman
commented in Calcutta today:
“Dulles couldn’t have done any
thing more effective if he wanted
to push the Indians further away
from the West.’’
Scene of Clashes
Goa was the scene of bloody
clashes between Indian demon 7
strators and Portuguese troops
last August.
India demands that Portugal
give up Goa, but Portugal thus
far refused.
Cunha said in Washington last
week that his country has little
military strength in Goa but
would resist to the end if at
tacked.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (IP)
General Motors, acting to meet
charges that it has been high
handed with its retail auto deal
ers, today lengthened its franchise
agreements with them. The agree
ments will now run for five years
instead of one.
A Senate subcommittee had
heard testimony that the short
term agreement was a threat
hanging over the dealers. Several
dealers testified their contracts
had been canceled abruptly on
GM complaints they hadn’t sold
enough cars or had not handled
their business the way the higher
ups preferred.

Krushchev
Criticizes
'Colonialism'
RANGOON. Burma, Dec. 6 (/P)
—Nikita S. Khrushchev aimed
another stream of invective at the
British, French and Americans to
day and brought Sir Winston
Churchill into his running criti
cism of the West.
Addressing a political rally
here, the Soviet Communist party
leader loosed shafts against “col
onialism,” and Western economic
and military undertakings in
Southeast Asia and in the China
area.
Again making British journal
ists a part of his forum, Khrush
chev asked why they felt of
fended when some “facts” of the
past were recalled. He said Russia
never had waged war on Britain
but that the British had engaged
the Russians at Sevastopol in the
Crimean War.
A little later Khruschchev re
ferred to “the notorious directive"
he said Churchill issued in the
closing days of World War II to
.Field Marshal Lord Montgomery
to stack captured German arms
for reissue to German prisoners
for use against the Russians if
their advance into Western Eu
rope continued.
Churchill disclosed in a speech
at Woodford, England, Nov. 23,
1954 that he had sent such an
order to Montgomery. Later in
•the House of Commons the then
Prime Minister explained:
“In those days of victory, the
thought which filled my mind was
that all the efforts we had made
to free Europe from a totalitarian
regime of one kind might go for
naught if we allowed so much of
Europe to fall into the grip of
another totalitarian regime from
the East.”
ailAgreemenfs
Some retailers also said they
were put under pressure to accept
models and accessories they did
not want.
Harlow H. Curtice, president of
the huge manufacturing corpora
tion, announced the new move at
the resumption of Senate hearings
which he said had produced “mis
leading” testimony and left the
public “grossly misinformed.”
He said all 17,000 GM car and
truck dealers are being notified
that, barring any objection on
their part, current sales agree
ments will be extended to 1960.
The dealers, he added, may pull
out at any time on 30 days’ notice.

Tax Items
HARRISBURG, Dec. 6 (/P)
Gov. George M. Leader’s proposed
3V4 per cent manufacturers’ ex
cise tax was revised tonight to
exempt cigarettes, beer, liauor
and wine from the levy. These
items are already taxed by the
state.
Sen. Watki n s (R-Delaware)
joined with two Democrats in
sponsoring the amendments and
so became the first Republican in
either branch to attach his name
officially to the tax proposal.
Watkins left immediately for
his West Chester R. D 5 home and
Labor Called On
To Speak Politics
[ Democratic Gov. Averell Harriman of New York and
| Eisenhower’s secretary of labor, James P. Mitchell, both
[Organized labor Tuesday to speak out strongly in politics.
They had the same, receptive
audience—the New York conven
tion of the now merged AFL and
CIO. President George Meany
and Vice President Walter Reu
ther of the AFL-CIO already had
come out for increased political
activity by unions.
In Washington meanwhile, Sen.
H. Alexander Smith (R-N.J.)
backed the stand of Sen. Gold
water (R-Ariz.) that the unions
would have no business endorsing
a candidate for the presidency.
Smith went further, saying it
would be wrong for them to en
dorse candidates for the House
or Senate.
Both Goldwater and Reuther
found occasion for pleasure in
what Eisenhower told the labor
convention Monday. Eisenhower
said unions have a right to deal
in political issues, but that minor
ity elements in union member
ships should be “scrupulously
protected and their views accu
rately reflected.”
Reuther said Eisenhower’s mes
sage “refutes completely the Gold
water line”
But Goldwater, chairman of the
GOP Senate Campaign Commit
tee, said Eisenhower’s remark
about protecting minority views
was in tune with his own views.
Goldwater charged that Reu
ther intends to “force his political
views upon individual union mem
bers.”
Also in Washington, Sen. Hick
enlooper (R-Iowa) said he doesn’t
expect the AFL-CIO to stop the
practice of endorsing. candidates
but “I believe laboring men and
women . . . will continue to vote
their independent convictions.”
By the Associated Press
could not be reached for comment.
Sen. Dent, Senate Democratic
floor leader, said the new exemp
tions now reduce the estimated
yield from the levy of 320 million
dollars—los millions less than
when first introduced in the
House Nov. 21.
"But these amendments were
necessary in the interests of sim
ple justice,’’ he told the Senate.
“These items already pay high
excise taxes and the power to tax
is the power to destroy.”

new exemptions were being al-
States Set Up
First Plans
For New Dam
HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec. 6 (fl>)
—New Jersey and Pennsylvania
state legislators drew up pre
liminary plans today to seek fed
eral aid in financing construction
of a huge dam on the Delaware
River. .
At a joint meeting of lawmakers
from both states, the New Jersey
delegation approved construction
of the dam at Wallpack Bend,
Pike County, Pa.
The New Jersey delegation,
headed by Sen. Wayne Dumont
Jr, Republican, also suggested
that steps be taken to allow that
state to participate to a greater
exent in the cost and benefits
from the proposed project.
Dumont said his state would
like to participate on a 50-50
rather than 30-70 basis with Penn
sylvania on the cost to the two
states and the water conservation
and supply benefits to be derived.
Joseph E. McLean, New Jersey
commissioner of conservation ana
economic development, said:
“Nothing about our decisions
here today are final pending a
report we will receive at the end
of the year from an engineering
firm making a survey of the situ
ation.”
Dumont said New Jersey would
like to obtain the additional par
ticipation to boost its possible wa
ter supply much higher.
Cut
lowed without approval of the
governor, Dent said they were
not true.
Earlier, a Republican senator
tagged income and sales tax pro
posals as putting the cart before
the horse while the manufactur
ers’ excise levy was under study.
Proposals to turn both to a sales
tax and a personal net income tax
were renewed as the Senate
marked time on the controversial
3Vt per cent levy.
