The IA director was interviewed on the ABC television show, “Junior Press Conference.” He told the student newsmen that even if Congress does approve the amount proposed, “we might have to eliminate some countries and programs entirely.” He said he thought it was a co- incidence that President Eisen- hower's recent statement came at a time when there was some contention over * the. removal of some books from our overseas libraries There is not list of books not allowed in our libraries overseas, he said, only a directive—and “our librarians are given a great deal of freedom in interpreting that directive.” Johnson said a four or five-man bipartisan group will review the books and any found unfit will be placed in a warehouse.

Battery Additive Dispute Is Up For Discussion By JOHN CHADWICK WASHINGTON (#—The Senate Small Business Committee today rekindles the once-raging dispute over whether Jess M, Ritchie of Oakland, Calif., and his battery additive got a fair break from the government. Ritchie was called as the lead- off witness at public hearings which Sen. Thye (R-Minn) ,.the committee chairman, said aré intended to bring out ‘‘all sides of this controversy.” Slated to testify after Ritchie, but possibly not until tomorrow, is Dr. Allen V. Astin, career gov- ernment scientist who is being forced out as director of the Bureau of Standards as a result of the dispute. Sen .Hunt (D-Wyo), a committee member, said he hoped Astin would be able to testify freely and not feel “he is under wraps because he still is an employe of the Com- merce Department.” Secretary of Commerce Weeks, who has supervision over the bu- reau, forced Astin’s resignation last March but later postponed it after strong protests from scien- tifie groups and others. | Weeks» contended the bureau! | was not “sufficiently obective” in lrejecting Ritchie's claims that his his capital city, Phnom Penh, Terminating his self-imposed exile to Bangkok, capital of neigh- boring Thailand, the King and his retinue returned to Cambodia by motor yesterday and stopped at Battambang, 150 miles northwest of Phnom Penh.

GREEN WASHINGTON ‘—The Office of Defense Mobilization plans to stock- pile executive talent, as well as war materials, for any future war emergency. Director Arthur S. Flemming, it | was learned today, expects to ob- | tain, from key oificials be is | “borrowing” temporarily from | industry, promises that they will | come back to Washington when and if the nation mobilizes. Flemming hopes to obtain from the men and their companies as- surances that: 1. Having served six months or a year in ODM, they will return to Washington periodically for brief “refresher” tours of duty, perhaps as consultants on special defense problems. 2. They will keep up to date the information in their personal loy- alty-security files here, The latter assurance is not be- ing requested because of any fear that the industry talent will sudden- ly turn subversive. It is a matter of saving time if the experts are recalled in a crisis. Officials have learned by exper-' ience that, in emergency periods, | the Federal Bureau of Investiga- | tion can fall 60 to 90 days behind | in its task of completing security | checks on the flood of new ap- pointees. In the meantime the men are unable to function in many jobs involving national security, Officials said Flemming is sold on the policy of rotating appoint- | ees.
