Defense Secretary Johnson.
Gen. Bradley Urge Action On
Europe Re-arming Proposal
WASHINGTON. Aug. ll-4&
Secretary of Defense Johnson
told senators Wednesday the mili
tary department is willing to ac
cept 60 percent in cash and 40
percent in contract authority to
launch President Truman's arms
programs.
It is agreeable to the military,
he said, to spread the cost of the
$1,450,000,000 program over two
or even three years.
America's three top military
men the Joint Chiefs of Staff
waited far Johnson to conclude
his testimony before they made
their report to the Senate For
eign Relations and Armed Serv
ices committees.
Senators Vandenberg R
Mich.l yesterday proposed a SO
SO split in the cash and contract
authority to carry out the re-arming
of the North Atlantic pact
nations.
But Johnson said his staff had
advised him that 60 percent of
the $1,160,000,000 for Western TJu
rope must be in cash. The re
mainder can be in authority to
make contracts which will be
paid for in cash later, ne said.
Senator Saltonstall IR-Mass.)
asked Johnson if this authority
would mean a firm contract to
be paid for in fiscal 1951-52. John
ton replied it would be.
Saltonstall asked if the re-arming
of Europe will mean any re
duction in the U.S. Defense pro
gram. Johnson said no, It would not.
He said he would not agree to
any plan which would reduce
"the ample security of the United
States."
In addition to the Senate hear
ing, Secretary of State Acheson
is scheduled for . a closed door
meeting of the House Foreign Af
fairs committee.
Quick Action Needed
After Johnson- had completed
hi testimony. Gen. Omar Brad
ley, Army Chief of Staff, took
over. He said that if the Ameri
can people want to use the ad
vantage gained in the "cold
war," they must move quickly
at establishing a long range plan
of defense.
Bradley and the military heads
of the navy and air force. Ad
miral Louis Denfeld and Gen.
Hoyt S. Vandenberg, have just
returned from a 10-day trip to
Europe where they conferred
with military chiefs of Atlantic
pact nations. They confined their
discussions to problems of organ
ization. Bradley said the five nations
Britain, the Netherlands, Luxem
bourg, France and Belgium
which signed the Western Union
pact, "are the nucleus of resist
ance on which any North Atlantic
SUIT
defense plant must be based."
"You Joint Chiefs of Staff have
examined the defense concept of
the Western Union and have
found that It it in accordance
with our strategic thinking," he
said.
Bradley said no longer can the
U.S. go it alone on IU military
planning.
"Exhaustion of our moral and
material resources would be the
result," he said, "for that rea
son, the Joint Chiefs of Staff urge
the enactment of this legislation."
Hypnotist Uses
Phone To Restore
Girl To Senses
CHELTENHAM, Eng., Aug. 11.
I.Vt Hypnotist Peter Casson
put a group of people to sleep
here July 28. , "
He finally got the last one to
wake up Wednesday by long dis
tance phone from London.
Anyway, that't what 19-year-old
Joyce Dovery and her moth
er say. The family doctor agrees
with them.
Joyce went to sleep during a
mass demonstration of Casson's
powers at the Town Hall nearly
two weeks ago. In a walking
trance, she wandered away from
the crowd. When Casson brought
the rest back to their senses, she
was on her way home, still in a
dream.
The following day she collapsed
at work. Then she went to a
movie and passed out again. She
took to swooning in the street
when people spoke to her.
The family doctor decided the
was mil in a nypnottc state.
He put in a call for Casson,
who by now was playing in
music hall in London. By phone
from 120 miles away Casson told
the girl to fall into a sound sleep
ana wane up in live minutes.
At the end of the appointed
time Joyce awoke, thanked Cas
son and told the doctor the felt
fine.
'This was a perfectly genuine
case of hypnosis, said tne doc
tor. "She was completely under
Casson's influence and only he
could put ner rignt. .

New Far East
Policy Mulled
At Washington
By The Associated Press.)
The United States Government
tackled anew today the problem
of working out new policy for
the Par East.
Ambassador to China J. Leigh
ton Stuart was reporting to Presi
dent Truman and Secretary of
State Dean. Acheson on the com
plex situation resulting from the
communist rout of Chinese na
tionalist armies.
His report coincided with Can
ton dispatches which said the
communists were throwing fresh
forces into drives towtrd the na
tionalist provisional capital. Na
tionalists fled Kanhsien, Kiangsl
province capital only 215 miles
from Canton.
Acheson went before a secret
session of the House Foreign Af
fairs committee to discuss hit
program for working out a new
approach. Hit department In a
White Paper last week wrote off
aid to Generalissimo Chiang Kai
shek's nationalists as a costly
failure.
A new policy planning group,
headed by Ambassador At-Lare
Philip C. Jessup, was reported
almost ready to start a broad
sui-vev of the problems facing the
I'.S. in China and elsewhere in
the Far East.
Acheson and his aides withheld
official comment on the appear
ance before Congress yesterday
of Elpidio Quirino, r resident of
the Philippines. The Island leader
appealed for at least moral sup
port from the VS. for a new
anti-communist pact proposed re
cently by Quirino and Chiang.
Australian Defense Minister
John Dedman commented in Can
berra that Australia would wel
come creation of a Far East pl
liance similar to the Atlantic
pact.

Plans Decision
WASHINGTON. Aug. 11'
An Air Force General said today
that Russia's sudden blockade of
Berlin last summer had a strong
Influence on decisions to carry
out the B36 bomber program.
MaJ. Gen. Frederick H. Smith,
Air Force Requirements chief,
returned to the witness stand for
his second day before the House
Armed Services committee. It It
investigating the history ot the
giant six-engined bomber.
Smith told this storv:
In April, 1948, there was "con
siderable difference of opinion"
in the Air Staff at to the value
of the B3S.
Gen. George C. Kenney, then
Chief of the Strategic Air Com
mand, preferred refueling medi
um bombers for long range mis
sions, and had proposed using
he B36 as a tanker Instead of
bomber.
During that month, however,
an early model B36 made a 6.-900-mile
flight carrying a simu
lated 10.000-pound bomb load. In
May. It flew anotner long mis
sion with the heavy load, cover
ing 8.062 miles in 36 hours. -
Smith said the majority of po
tential enemy targets would have
been within this range, "the per
formance was encouraging," he
said.
In June, he continued. Air Sec
retary Symington called a meet
ing of Air Force commanders
and technicians to review the en
tire B36 program. Symington had
seen B36s flown at the Consoli
dated Vultee aircraft plant in
Fort Worth, Texas, not long be
fore, and had been Impressed by
performance records.
As the June meeting started,
the Berlin Airlift was being put
Into operation by the Air Force,
Gen. Smith said, and Gen. Lu
cius D. Clay, VS. Commander
In Berlin, "took a most serious
view of the situation."
"After review, the decision
was clearly In favor of carrying
out the full B36 contract," Smith
said.

times applied to skunks, but real
