House To Approve Eisenhower Denunciation|New Yardstiek Of Soviet Russia’s “Aggressive Despotism” [On Living Cost By CHARLES F. BARRETT WASHINGTON — Despite de- mands for tougher language, lead-| ers today predicted quick House approval—with little or no change —of President Eisenhower's denun- ciation of Soviet “aggressive des- Ppotism.” The goal was overwhelming bi- Partisan support and a hunt was on, in both the Senate and House, for the right words to frame a resolution which would attract such a vote, A hurdle to early Senate con- sideration developed yesterday in the foreign, relations committee. Chairman Wiley (B-Wis) postponed action until next Tuesday while Secretary of State Dulles studies Proposals by senators for a strong- er and more far-reaching langu- age. This call for a tougher-talking resolution was echoed in the House. As proposed by Eisenhower, the resolution would reject ‘Russia’s enslavement of free peoples through perversion of war-time agreements and would proclaim a hope for liberation of Iron Curtain countries. Some lawmakers urge condemnation of the once-secret agreements themselves and others want to express something strong- er than “hope” of freeing Red j Satellite nations. The Eisenhower resolution avoids criticism of terms of the agreements negotiated during the World War II administrations of Democratic Presidents Roosevelt and Truman. The House Foreign Affairs Com- mittee meets today in a closed session. Rep. Vorys (R-Ohio), sponsor of the resolution in the House, predicted approval “with no big changes—maybe no changes at all” in the wording of the docu- ment. é Rep. Richards (D-SC), former chairman and now senior Demo- crat on the committee, agreed in a separate interview. “It will be passed substantially as is,” Richards said. “‘There may be some little change in phrase- ology but no change in substance.” Dulles, meeting with both com- mittees in separate sessions yes- terday, said the language had been considered carefully by Eisenhow- er. Dulles said he could think of no changes that would be helpful. Virtually unanimous approval by Congress, he said, would be a “solemn act of dedication for the future . . . a resounding message of hope to the world.” Anything less than an over- Friday, February 27, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 7 Ike Arranges For Vacation At Favorite Golfing Spot By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH AUGUSTA, Ga. ™ — President Eisenhower traded the busy grind of the White House for golf clubs today and arranged for a vacation game at his favorite coourse, the Augusta National. Eisenhower flew here from Washington late yesterday, found the Augusta weather warm, sunny and clear of rain for the first time in a week, then lost no time getting out to a practice tee where he whacked away until dusk. The President, out of Washing- ton for the first time since his in- auguratio nJan. 20, was accom- from the capital by Mrs. Eisenhower, her mother, Mrs. John S. Doud of Denver, Colo., and a small staff of White House aides. The party will return to Washington Sunday. Indications were that Eisenhow- er would: play the famed Augusta National. Course today with close friends. On. hand were the same who teamed up with him he spent two weeks here af- ‘election in November. are Cliff Roberts, New investment banker who is chairman of the Augusta ; William E. Robinson, execu- tive vice president of the New York Herald Tribune; and big Dudley, the club pro. The President is staying, as he did in November, at the small cot- tage of Bobby Jones, the grand- slam golf champion of the 1920s. Jones, unable to play now because of a back ailment, probably will join the President at the club over «the week end. The Jones cottage is at the endge of the course, near the 18th green. Eisenhower's luck with the weather seemed to be the main topic of conversation among Au- gustans who turned out at Bush Airport to welcome him. “We've had nothing but rain for days but it stopped this morning in time for the President's ar- rival,” said one of the natives. The chief executive was smiling broadly as he stepped down the ramp from the presidential plane, the Columbine, with Mrs. Eigen- hower. He called a warm greeting to ‘Roberts, then spotted Bowman Milligan, Negro chief steward at the Augusta clyb. He shook hands and said: “Hello, Bowman. How are you?” Eisenhower has been a member | of the club -ince 1947, He and Milligan are old friends. Mrs. Eisenhower — wearing a smali black hat, an oxford gray suit with an orchid, and a silver fox fur piece — is greeted at SEE JOHN PILG the foot of the ramp by Brig. Gen. Frank Allen, who was her hus- band’s public relations officer in Europe during World War Il. Al- len now is commander at Camp Gordon here. “How are you, Frank?” Mrs. Eisenhower asked. Then she kissed him on the cheek. There were- about 300 persons at the airport to welcome the Eisen- howers. Mrs. Eisenhower started back to the plane a few minutes after leaving it. “What are you looking for, Ma- mie?” the President called. “My coat — I forgot it,” she replied. Eisenhower told her not to wor- ry about it. Someone else would get it, he said. Just before getting into his car at the airport, Eisenhower grinned widely at the photographers crowd- ed around and remarked. wryly: “A lot of newspaper people to report on a poor golf game.” Fishing Tournament News By THOMAS L. KETCHINGS, ! Chairman During (ue first month of the tournament the Bonitos were on the run to the tune of 12 entries. These entries were from 10 lbs. to 15 Ibs. Paul Morris of Bright Waters, N.

Wiley said some changes may be made but not enough to cause “a serious split” within the com- mittee or on the floor. Sen. George (D-Ga), senior Dem- ocrat on the committee, said, “I’m satisfied to let it go as is.” George discounted fears ex- pressed by some congressmen that the resolution could be inter- preted as approving or accepting any part of the agreements. Dulles had taken the same strand. Sen. Gillette (D-Iowa), another committee member, declared he would not support the resolution as proposed. He predicted substan- tial changes. Rep. Machrowciz (D-Mich), told a House com late yesterday that a statement by Dulles “is not the truth.” Dulles had ~said the proposed resolution would meet with approv- al from representatives of enslaved peoples in Iron Surtais: countries. Machrowicz said he had just talked with spokesmen of such groups and felt the proposed resolution is so mild it “will be very depressing and disappointing to them.” Appears Today By NORMAN WALKER WASHINGTON (#—The govern- ment’s new yardstick for meas- uring the cost of living ‘makes: its first appearance today and indications were it would reflect a slight price decline. Al per cent decline in food 4 prices was believed sufficient to’ bring the living-cost level for mid- January down a bit, although keeping it still close to the all-time high The new index, several years in preparation, is designed to provide a more delicate and accurate measurement of monthly cost changés for goods and services caressed by city families. Such indexes put out by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, an agency of the Labor Department, cost barometer. ‘The new index is patterned after the bureau’s prior one, but includes | prices on more items and covers samplings in more cities. It in- judes pricings for the first time of such things as television sets, restaurant meals, legal services and banking fees. The former index, using the five-year period 1935-39 as a base, reached 191.1 last August. In De- cember it edged down to 190.7, have been long accepted as a living || A Letier From BILL LANTAFF Dear Neighbor: One of the committees of which your Congressman is a member recently held hearings on the State Department building pro- gram over in Germany. Here again, we found one of those pro- positions where the hand is quick- er than the eye. Under the terms of the Geneva Convention, we are pay prisoners of war when they are used as laborers. You will re- call during the last war many German prisoners were brought to this country to work on farms. When they were released they were given certificates of indebt- edness which they could present to the German Government so that they might be paid in Ger- man currency. Our occupation force in Ger- many held about one hundred six- ty million Deutsch-Marks in so-called prisoner of war ; however, since many of these Ger- man soldiers were either missing or in other parts of the world un- able to return to Germany, they had not presented their certificat- es for payment. When the turned over control to the German High Commission, which is under the State Department, this trust fund was also transferred. The State Department, deciding that an equivalent of 20 million dollars in this fund was not need- ed, proceeded to launch an ela- borate building program. In Bre- men, they commenced construc- tion of an elaborate apartment for the State Department person- nel, the cost of which was 35 thousand dollars for each unfur- nished apartment unit. While the ‘cust of these units, if built in the | United States would have been 42 thousand dollars we found that the | cost per apartment unit in the | Washington area did not exceed $9800. | Our investigation disclosed the | reason for the cost of these units ran so high was that a maid was being furnished for each apart: ment and quarters had to be pro- vided for such a servant. In 2 three bedroom apartment three baths had been provided and these apartments were to be occupied by personnel earning approximate ly $3000 per year. The residences being built fo’ the Consular Office ran to $142 000 each, or ff the same hom’ was constructed in this country it would have cost $167,000. These palatial homes contained specia! Pantries, sun porches, quarter: 1d swimming pools. The average salaries of officials who would occupy these elaborate homes was $11,000 per year. As a result of our hearing, twenty- five per cent, or over 5 million dollars, was cut from this program | Jand the State Department has! lagreed to revise and simplify all of their building plans and speci- | | fications. Sincerely yours, BILL LANTAFF. | Sinclair Construction Set | PORT ST.

Today’s index reflects the mid- January living cost situation. The index is always a month late, and is a little later than usual this; month because of the changeover to the new index. It thus mirrors the price situation before the new Eisenhower ad- ministration took over and started | its. widespread decontrcl program. The new measurement uses the | 1947-49 period as 4 base—meaning : that the price average for those years will be considered as 100 — instead of the ‘former 1935-39 average.
