THE KEY wast CITIZEN 2 Turn Levers Congress Has Conflicting Advice To Give To Dulles On What To Do In Indochina By LEWIS GULICK wulwert (®—Congression- ei comment made it clear today that Secretary of State Dulles, re- buffed abroad in his plea for “united. action” against commu- nism in Indochina, will be greeted with a welter of conflicting advice when hg returns to the United States. Dulles, due back from the Geneva conference tomorrow, is scheduled for a round of talks with congressional leaders and admin- istration officials over what to do about the Red threat to strategic Southeast Asia, Differences of opin- For STATE SENATOR Help Lee, Hendry and Collier Coun- ties Elect A New State Senator Pull Lever 15-A For Travis Gresham May 4th (Pa.

Senate Majority Leader Know- Jand" of California in an interview Saturday called on the United States to move at once for a coalition defense against commu- nism in Asia, even if this means acting without one of her major allies. This was an obvious reference to Britain, whose Prime Minister Churchill has turned down Dulles’ bid for a united front of 10 powers interested in Southeast Asia, in- cluding both the United States and Britain, in advance of talks with the Communists at Geneva. U.S. officials here said yesterday that Prospects of direct American in- tervention in Indochina are virtual- ly ruled out unless Britain agrees to a coalition. Repeating his criticism of British policy, Knowland said on a Du Mont TV show last night the United’ States has “the right to Imow which of our allies are pre- Monday, May 3, 1954 CONGRESSIONAL ' For Representative In Congress _ FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT €Vote for One) Automatic Voting - DIRECTIONS for VOTING 1 Move RED handle to the Right and leave it there. and leave them down. 3 Move the RED Handle to the Left. pared to stand up with us and be counted.” “By that,” he said, “I mean that in the event of Chinese interven- tion (in Indochina) what are they prepared to do. Congress is en- titled to know that.” He also said, “I don’t believe that the need of meeting the situa- tion in Indochina is land power from the Western nations.” This was in reply to.Sen. Mans- field (D—Mont), who said on the same program that any U.S. air support of the French in Indochina could easily lead to use of Amer- ican naval and ground forces there and might bring on World War Ill. “There is no such thing as limited” intervention, Mansfield said, Knowland and Mansfield also disagreed on whether key mem- bers of Congress have been kept informed on the situation, Know- land saying there had been “‘wide- spread” bipartisan consultation and Mansfield disputing this with backing from. Rep. Mahon (D—Tex), A fourth participant in the dis- ession, Rep. Judd (R—Minn), said stopping communism in South- east Asia had to be a “regional effort — with the French and British, if possible — without them if necessary.” Rep. Vorys (R—Ohio), like Judd a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said on a CBS TV program that if the United States should have to fight in Indo- LET'S ELECT Fred FA Routh U.S. CONGRESS Qualified by background and experi- ence to serve all of the Fourth District with intelligence and integrity.

But he said he did not think America would have to send ground troops against the Reds, and in any case fighting there should be at a halt over the next half year because the season of heavy rains has begun. A congressional source who asked not to be named said over the weekend that legislative leaders, meeting in Dulles’ office April 5, blocked a proposal to send U.S. air and sea forces to Indo- china. The proposal was said to have been outlined by Adm. Arthur M. Radford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Radford was. re- ported to have said also that the Joint Chiefs themselves were not in full agreement on the matter.

Stevens returns for more cross-examina- tion in the eighth day of the tele- vised Senate inquiry into his row with Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R—Wis). The Senate investigations sub- committee has taken testimony from Stevens at least part of every day since its public hearings be- gan. And McCarthy says he doubts that questioning of Stevens will end today. TAFT—HARTLEY—The Senate, for the first time in five years, debates proposals to make major changes in the Taft-Hartley Act. Republican leaders seem confident they can beat down a Democratic move to pigeonhole the entire ques- tion of amending the nation’s labor law, which last was debated in full on the Senate floor in 1949—two years after its enactment.
