WEDNESDAY. MARCH ld. 1956 Thailand Leader Rejects Reds BANGKOK, Thailand, March 13 kin—Thailand's staunch anti-Communist Premier P. Pibulsonggram spurned neutral ity today, declaring "we believe you must choose a side —Thailand chose the free world." He spoke at a ceremony in which U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and Thailand's foreign minister, Prince Ike Reported Ready to Hear Bricker Plan WASHINGTON, March 13 (iP) —Sen. William F. Knowland (H- Calif.) reported today that Presi dent Dwight D. Eisenhower told a conference of Republican lead ers he would be "glad to discuss" the new version of the Bricker amendment. Eisenhower has opposed pre vious versions of the proposed constitutional amendment, offered by Sen. John W. Bricker (R-Ohio), on the grounds the result would be to limit the executive power to make treaties. The new version was worded by Sen. Everett M. ,pirksen (R- Ill.), with Bricker's backing. It says: "A provision of a treNty or other international agreement which conflicts with any prov.- sion of this Constitution shall nbt be of any force or effect." Knowland said Eisenhower told his callers he was agreeable to the idea of holding a conference on the revised version as soon as Secretary of State John Foster Dulles gets back to Washington later this month. "I believe the President's mind is open on this question," Know ]and said. Sen. Styles Bridges of New rfamoshire, chairman of the Sen ate Republicans Policy Commit tee, said earlier that the amend ment probably will be pushed in the Senate whether Eisenhower opposes it or not. Wan Waithyakon, signed an agreement by which the United States will cooperate in construc tion of an experimental atomic reactor here. The Premier said, "I believe that, as in the United Nations, we must cast a vote yes or no. Thailand does not abstain. Dulles, who is touring the Far East, arrived in Bangkok from Jakarta, Indonesia, only a short time before the ceremony, said, "I sincerely regret our visit here this time must be all too short." Of the agreement on the re actor, Dulles said, "it lays the basis for further cooperation be tween Thailand and the United States in this important field, in cluding establishment on an ex perimental reactor in Thailand which will facilitate Thailand's fight against disease." The reactor to be built here is not to be confused with a major Asian nuclear research center fi nanced by the United States which probably will be located in Manila to serve all Southeast Asia. Pibulsonggram's rejection of neutralist policy is directly coun ter to the attitude of several Southeast Asian governments, which have followed the lead of India's Prime Minister Nehru. Dulles met Nehru in New Delhi last week. Reliable sources in the Indian capital said today the U.S. State Department has decided to ask Congress for substantial in creases in economic aid for India to counter Soviet economic as sistance and promote U.S.-Indian relations. The State Department probably will allocate a record 70 to 75 mil lion dollars for Indian economic development in the 1956-57 fiscal THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.
