M'CARTHY LOOKS TO IKE FOR BACKING ON HIS TRADE MOVE DENIES ACCUSATION OF UNDERMINING OBJECTIVES OF FOREIGN POLICY By G. MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON (#—Sen. McCar- thy (R-Wis) said today he looks to President Eisenhower to back his dramatic move aimed at reducing | free world trade with Communist areas. McCarthy told reporters he was “amazed” by angry accusations of | Harold E. Stassen, mutual security director, that the senator and his Senate investigations subcommittee were. “‘undermining’’ objectives of U.S. foreign policy Stassen, at a televised public hearing yesterday, fiung the accu- sation in a broadside denunciation of Saturday’s announcement that | McCarthy’s subcommittee had. negotiated agreements with Greek owners of 242 ships to carry no more cargoes to Red China, North Korea or from one Commu- nist port to another. Vice President Nixon, to whom Eisenhower has assigned some} trouble-shooting assignments on Capitol Hill, goes te the White; House today to attend a meeting of the National Security Council. A highly placed s to be named, said in an interview Nixon has been briefed thoroughly on issues in the McCarthy-Stassen dispute, and would report to Eisen- hower at that time. The informant | said the result may be a presiden- tial decision in MeCarthy’s favor, but not necessarily an immediate one. Both Nixon and McCarthy declined to discuss it. Eisenhower told his news con- ference last week he would not seek to interfere with McCarthy's investigations as 'ong as the sena- tor sincerely believes he is doing the right thing. Both the White House and the State Department withheld com- ment, meanwhile, on McCarthy’s agreement with the Greek ship owners, The Constilution gives the president authority {o conduct for- eign policy moves—an assignment delegated in turn to the State De- partment. Stassen argued heatedly yester- day that McCartay and the sub- committee had infringed on State Department duties in making the agreement. He and his aides ques- | tioned its effectiveness. McCarthy, | with equal heat, denied any inter- ; ference, and he told Stassen: i “T wouldn't take your word for it” | McCarthy added, that Stassen } was overlooking a big point—that | the State Department can negotiate | with governments, but not with | individuals.

Lab Workers Test Effects Of Heat Waves By FRANK CAREY AP Science writer RICHMOND, Va. “#—Laboratory |Workers here have intentionally | burned themselves with heat waves simulating the flash of an atomic bomb. More than a dozen scientists and laboratory aides at the Medical College of Virginia—including a woman doctor and a woman nurse —have bared their arms to a beam of hot light from a_ specially- rigged anti - aircraft are - search- light. While results can be compared only to the effect of earlier-model atom bombs, they should allow The technical name for that is | the shins.

If he did! not revolt against his own vast | more powerful bombs, including the projected hydrogen bomb, the leuts so that the budget will be ignorance, he would-never have the | scientists say. The tests are sup- jbalanced, not only in appropria- }tions but in recoveries,” he said in an interview, adding that “I’m jtalking about recissions.”’” New funds for the Defense De- partment alone, he said, can safely be reduced by from 7% to eight billions without jeopardizing na- tional defense. There have been unconfirmed reports that the De- fense Department, instead of agree ing to a reduction, will ask more than the 46 billions recommended by former President Truman in his budget for the fiscal year starting July 10. While a cut of the size he pro- posed in defense appropriations |won’t necessarily mean a reduc- jtion of the same amount in 1954 fiscal year spendiag, Taber said, “it will be reflected in future sav- ings.” Taber didn’t display much en- thusiasm for proposed new appro- priation cuts volunteered by the heads of four agencies. “We always that,” he said, referring to the 3% per cent cut Secretary of Labor Durkin said his departmental bud- get could stand. Durkin told a Sen- ate appropriations subcommittee the new appropriation requested by Truman for the Labor Department could be trimmed $10,400,000. Previously, the Justice Depart- ment said the Truman requests for it could be cut $7,450,000 from the $191,900,000 originally sought, and the Agriculture and Commerce | Departments volunteered cuts of spectively. did better than} {incentive to grow up. | Rebellion is the mark of youth! and health.

Burns sustained by the volun- teers have been only dime-sized because the heat from the search- light is focused on a half-inch hole in a heavy shield. But many second-degree, blister- ing burns have been produced, ing the third-degree variety, with the flesh practically charred. All of the volunteers recovered without ill effects and are now | planning further tests. The most outstanding results so far of the human tests—and ani- mal tests that went with them— are these: 1.

Wilson would be.a happy man if he could find some way to cut defense spending about four billion dollars. That is one figure being men- tioned by advocates of less armed forces spending as a means of helping to balance the budget. But some Pentagon people, in» the best position to know, think | four billions an impossible cut if; this country is to be reasonably safe. That’s one of the reasgns Wil- son is finding that running the Defense Department is a little dif- ferent from running General Mo- tors, where he used to be presi- dent. Yet, Wilson is ope of the key figures and main hopes in Presi- dent Eisenhower’s ambition to re- duce spending and balance the budget. Former President Truman es- timated the cost of all Defense Department expenses for another year after July 1 at about 46 bil- lion dollars. He thought it was the lowest figure for doing the job. When Wilson was making auto- mobiles he had to turn out a prod- uct at the lowest possible cost, match the competition and still |make a profit for the company. Now the competition is the Rus- sians. The only profit is survival. And yet the survival has to be at a price the public can pay with- out wrecking the economy.
