MEAT THE WORLD TODAY By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (®@—This | Con- gress, itching to close up shop by July 31, probably wil! have set no records. in lawmaking by the time it does end this session. It hasn't done much in the form of major legislation yet. Some of its tardiness is under- standable, particularly on the money bills. The new Eisenhower Administration neeced time to look over President Truman’s bud- get and try to eut it down. It sent up its recommendations late! President Eisenhower himself, much to many people’s surprise; has been able to maintain with Congress the sam friendly rela- tionship he insisted upoh from the NOGHYOD HSVTI time’ he stepped into the White | House. although not 100 per cent by any means. This week at a White House con- ference with his Republican lead- ers in Congress, he got them to abandon an idea they seemed bent on pushing through: threatening to shut off U. S. money for the United mitted. Eisenhower said he doesn’t want Red China in the U. N., either but he said threatening the U. N. was a poor way to frustrate the Communists. At the same time ke has a man- size job on his hands trying to get the Allies to see the American viewpoint. Some of them, Britain, for instance, think Red China should be admitted when there’s a settlement of the war in Korea. Eisenhower wanted Congress to extend the reciprocal trade agree- ments act without changes that would shut out more foreign goods than had been excluded in years. There was an atiempt to write heavy restrictions inte the act. But this week, also, Eisenhower won a victory by approving a mild com- promise in the House bill. It seems likely to sail through pretty much as he wanted, and at a time when he; is trying to encourage free world trade. He has handled his relations with Congress so carefully, in public anyway, that no one in Congress has expressed any personal hos- tility to the man in the White House. But that doesn’t mean he can smile his way through all the time. He’s had some setbacks and may have more before this ends. His own Republican leaders brushed him aside on his request for congressional approval of a resolution to condemn Russia for breaking wartime agreements and enslaving the people of Eastern Europe. His’ Jeaders wanted to add a critigism.,.of former Democratic Presidents “Truman and Roosevelt who had made the agreements with the Russians. The Democrats balked, saying they’d vote for Eiscnhower’s idea, but not for the revised version The Republican icadership, know- ing it didn’t have enough votes in its own ranks to outvote the Dem- NVIJIODOVW FHL 3NVYCGNVA L108 Nag Did & > zx Zz m < Eisenhower didn’t put up any fight on the resolution, Maybe he didn’t look on it as a major issue anyway. But he hes also been brushed aside on two major issues he has talked of wanting. One was admission of Hawaii as | the 49th state and the other was changes in the T:ft-Hartley labor | act. Statehood for Hawaii has been getting the go-by, but Republican leaders are now talking about mak- ing it the next order of business in the Senate in an effort to win approval.

Lemay, com- mander of the Strategic Air Com- mand, saying a proposed reduc- tion below 57 wings would be “an | extension of the calculated risk to a point where it made it no longer acceptable to the security of the United States and its allies.” The Senate Appropriations sub- committee, before which Vanden- | berg began his third day of testi- | mony, had been told the cutting ‘of the long range Air Force goal ‘from 143 to 120 wings would hold the Strategic Air Command to 52 wings. Vandenberg, who is retiring at) the end of this month, has been outspoken in criticism of the Eisen hower administration plan to aim at a 120-wing force, with from 30 to 75 planes in a wing, by Decem- ber, 1955. He contends the 143- man administration is the absolute imum for safety, despite as- ances from the President that the natwn’s actual air power will be maintained as needed. Vandenberg said that he had received the secret cable from Le- may May 22 and that he was down- grading the secrecy classification so far as the part he read to the senators was concerned sen.

For the short haul. however, the truce is likely to have a psycholog- ical impact on consumers, on busi- ness executives and on investors. The peace talk comes when the United States is at the top of one of its greatest booms. Many busi- jnessmen think the peak has al- ready been reached, that the next turn—when it comes—will be downward. A Korean truce’ might well be the factor that starts the expected readjustment. Many stock market traders ap- parently feel that way, Whenever the truce rumors get hot,- price wedkness spreads through the stock and commodity markets. They reason that a truce will bring on a period of confusion, uncertain- ty and readjustment in and government. Farm surpluses might look big: ger then, and the price all along the line might look nerable. Consumers might decide to pone buying until they see w! prices are going—or see if will be plant layoffs that cut incomes. Industrialists may decide to on inventories and slow down purchases. The urge to build w steel inventories, for example, might lose a lot of its present: punch. Consumers and businessmen might start eyeing each other— and going slow. Another psychological effect that seems likely is a big build-up of public pressure to stretch out further the government's spending for defense, so that taxes can be, [ | Ha tai? hk iH if napkin 12.
