There have been numerous predictions that the new Joint Chiefs would favor a more aggressive role for this country in the Far East and different conduct in Korea. It is to be noted, in this connection, that President Eisenhower has shown a reluctance to participate in a meeting of world leaders at this time. While the President does not condemn the proposal of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, he, nevertheless, feels that the time is not right. By being firm with the enemy, one need not imply a refusal to compromise or to discuss differences. The new Administration must be on its guard not to appear. too * much like a military-leadership government. Our country is young in its role of world leadership and it has only been since World War II that the United States’ view- point was the most important in all the world. With this position goes the responsibility of always being open to negotiation and compromise and conference. Our country can lose nothing by exhibiting a continued willingness to meet with anyone at any time to discuss ma- jor world tensions. While President Eisenhower says he is willing to meet with anyone, if he feels that it will aid the cause of peace, he—at the moment—feels that a top-level conference today would not aid the cause. Nervous tension is an expensive trait. Religious freedom does not mean the same thing in every country. Human beings are different and no rule can be appli- ed to them en masse. Most stories and pictures advertised to “live forever” are soon forgotten. So far as the history of journalism is concerned, no editorial has ever reformed human nature. We are only killing a hundred Americans a day on the highways. But the figure will probably be increased. A democracy has been described as a place where intelligent men play a game of hypocrisy to catch the boob vote, which is the majority. NOTAS CUBANAS Por RAOUL ALPIZAR POYO QUERER ES...

Royal Gems Stolen LONDON (#—The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland arose early today to attend the coronation and discovered jewelry they val- ued at 30,000 pounds ($84,000) had been stolen from their home. The back door was open but there was no sign of forced entry. It was the'duchess’ second jewel theft in less than three years. In November, 1950, thieves lifted 50,000 pounds ($140,000) worth of gems from her Surrey estate. In both instances, the jewels were generations-old family heir- looms. Querer es creer. . .

The occasional small-scale com- mando-type raids on the mainland from offshore islands are so rou- tine that most of them go unre- corded. Every now and then, re- ports are put out of encounters between armed Communist junks and small craft manned by island- based Nationalist guerrillas. When President Eisenhower on operations against the mainiand, the general expectation was that stepped up. Some cynics say that the wraps were taken off Chiang Kai-shek— but Chiang had nowhere to go. Many people here feel that any . | full-seale invasion of the mainland jis out of the question without full {scale foreign — in other words, | American—support.

Such raids logical-/ } PARTY LINES SPLIT OVER FOREIGN POLICY CONTROVERSY IN SENATE By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (?—Party lines split in the Senate today over a proposal to shut off American con- tributions if the United Nations seats China’s Communist govern- ment, This proposal was the focal point in a foreign policy controversy in which Sen. Knowland (R-Calif) said that if present truce nego- tiations fail the U. S. should move} aggressively in Korea and take the “calculated risk” Russia. Knowland, chairman of the Sen- ate Republican Policy Committee, said he believes most U. S. allies would support such a move. He voiced uncertainty about Great Britain. Knowland also said-in an MBS radio broadcast last night he does not believed Allied terms would represent a “truce with honor.” He said they would leave Korea divided and invite efforts by Red China to grab a U. N. Security Council seat. With Knowland in the vanguard, many Republicans lined up behind a committee-approved rider to a money bill which would bar pay- ment of U. S. funds to the U. N. if it granted a Security Council seat to any nation branded an aggressor by the U. N, That means Red China. Democrats generally opposed the | rider and Sen. Hill (D-Ala) said it would be discussed at a party Policy committee meeting today. The Republicans also scheduled a party caucus and a policy meeting, presumably to test out GOP senti- ment. Sen. Tobey (R-NH), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he regards the rider as “‘an expression of no- confidence in President Eisen- hower.” There were reports the President might make his position clear be- fore the Senate votes on the issue, probably in midweek. He said pre- viously the rider seemed to be very drastic. Meanwhile, the Senate continued debate on money provisions of the bill, which carries $1,104,379,000 to Tun the State, Commerce and Jus- tice Departments for the fiscal of war with! LONDON (®#—Britain history today and looked to her jto lead one-fourth of the world to happier times. The coronation of Elizabeth I was the mightiest pageant of our generation, and it was many other things: It was the Middle Ages marching confidently through the 20th Cen- tury, an oid way of life holding its | own in a new way of life, the weav- ing of ancient threads into a fresh pattern, It was a cry to God for guidance . +. A Cinderella tale. . . The mo- ment of a lifetime for a 27-year-old mother dedicating all her years to reign but not to rule in the service of wealth taking the vow of obedi- ence to the welfare of needy mil- lions. It was a young queen humbly accepting her duty ... And most of her subjects taking the day off to celebrate proudly in a land and time where few have had much to celebrate of late, It was a fanfare of trumpets and waving banners in the wind ... A sea of flags... A crash of many martial bands . . . The burst of guns signaling to a doubtful world that its most far- flung empire is here to stay and intendsto add more centuries to its story ... The tread of troops that have fought in distant climes and sailors who have looked up at lonely stars from faroff seas and thought of home ... Tommy At- kins and Jack Tar, always ready “to have another go at it.” It was an ocean of faces that were an inventory of the human race—black and white and yellow, old and young, turbaned and hat- less, rich and poor, weeping and laughing and breaking their throats with cheers at a sight most, and perhaps all, might never see again «+. And deep pride and a yearn- year starting July 1. Sen. Douglas (D-Ill) denounced the measure, as it came from the appropriations committee, as a “phony” in which “‘wastefulness masquerades in the guise of econ- omy.” He promised yesterday to offer amendments he said would save 233 million dollars. Chairman Bridges (R-NH) of the appropriations committee, on the other hand, defended the bill as an economy measure which he said is nearly 39 million dollars below figures already approved by the House. Democrats succeeded yesterday in knocking out of the bill a rider which would give Secretary of State, Dulles blanket authority to fire any one in his department in the next year if he thought the national interest demanded it. Sen. Cooper (R-Ky) called the U. N. rider “an improper piece of legislation” although he said he is opposed to Red China’s admission to the U. N. Most senators agreed on that point. Knowland said last night that U. S. allies have been “encour- aging communism in Asia” by coming out openly for admission of Red China to the U. N. “If they succeed in that they will give Communist China so much prestige that I think it will be very difficult to keep commu- nism from overrunning the rest of Asia,” he said. Knowland sided with Sen. Taft (R-Ohio) in declaring that if truce efforts fail this country will have to seek “other alternatives” in Korea even at the “calculated risk” that Russia might come into the war. EPT Question Is Still Hot in Committee By CHARLES F. BARRETT WASHINGTON u®—Several vet- erans on the House Ways and Means Committee said today they were not convinced by Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey's argu- ment for an extension of the ex- commando-type raids would be <snding must have been reached | cess profits tax on business.

The first witness was E. Gray. president of the Whirlpool Corp., S&. Joseph, Mich. The corporation recently sent each congressman « booklet spelling out its claim that the tax prevents business growth. Humphrey pled yesterday for a six-month extension of the tax, now due to die June 3. to bring in up to 2 Dillion dollars in addi- tional revenue. He said this would teduce the fore! ¢t ing hope that this event might be the bright portal to peace and better days for all.

Many a peer in ermine rode to the coronation by subway, shoulder to shoulder with dockworkers wear- ing their worn best. And even brewery draft horses had their share ‘of glory, pulling the gilded coaches in which sat the high lords of the realm, Tt was a day of British justice and fair play. Some 30,000 British kids perched on the Victoria Em- bankment to see the queen were allotted more space per person than the cramped peers with lofty packed in Westminster bey. And even the éarl marshal, the Duke of Norfolk, who arranged the whole coronation, had to walk or hire a hack home after the crowning. Tradition gave him no place in the procession afterward, but the blind and the maimed had places of honor, both in the Abbey and along the route. It was a day of fainting and sore-footed enjoyment for many who waited for hours and walked for miles just to wave the Union Jack and get a momentary glimpse of their queen in her gown, Some ‘Erberts were canny enough to tent out in Hyde Park the night per ney with the old lady and the a. It was a day when workmen quaffed their beer on rooftops, and Mayfair fops sipped champagne as they watched the great procession from exclusive clubrooms, One great chemical firm gave its 10,- 000 employes a pound ($2.80) each to drink the queen’s health, Yes, it was many things — this coronation.
