World News Capsules -- Eisenhower Warns Against Cutting Deeper Into Foreign Aid Bill Compiled by Lee McGary (From the wires of the United Press) • icncral Kisenhower has warned against any further cut in the foreign aid hill. . I lie Senate foreign relations committee had slashed $1,000, 000,fXX) off the $7,900,000,000 asked by President Truman. And . ^u* measure now is under study by the armed services com mittee. , * *u* chairman of that committee, Senator Richard Russell of Georgia, asked Kisenhower whether the $6,900,000,000 bill is adequate to do the job of building the defense of the free world against aggression. Kisenhower s cable says, “My -personal view is that any cut . for this year of much greater magnitude than one-billion dollars would in the long run be uneconomic if we are to carry on to the reasonable level of collective security that our own safety demands.” East Germany's Communist rulers ... • ... have threatened a new cold war and Russian reprisals if the West German government signs the proposed peace contract with the West. Some of th<- most fighting words came from East Germany Deputy Prime Minister Walter Ulbricht at a news conference in Berlin. He said his government would oppose measure for measure “with scien tific exactness” any West German moves to put 100,000 troops in the proposed West European army. 1 lbricht added this ominous note . . . “The day the peace contract is signed, West Berlin will learn its consequences." Meanwhile, the West Germans went on a counter-attack .. . charg ing that the Reds are preparing civil war for Germany. ♦ ♦ ♦ The report. . . . . . from the U.N. command's Koje Island prisoner-of-war camp in Korea is that patience of Allied officers is wearing thin. A seiies of incidents has led to a tightening of security measures. The iiu .dents, of course, wer-- climaxed last week by the seizure of the camp commander Brigadier General Francis Dodd by the prison-: trs They held him captive for 7 k hours, but released him unharmed. I Par East Commander General Mark Clark said in Tokyo the new commander of the Koje prison camp, Brigadier General Charles Colson, ' S’ nt the Red prisoners an ultimatum to release Dodd Saturday night or tii army would use force. The Reds released Dodd an hour and a half after the Allied deadline. „ Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden ... . . told a labor party questioner in the House of Commons Monday that the United States has not asked this country to take part in any naval blockade of Communist China. ‘ Our views are well known to the United States government on this - matter and there is no committment of any kind on our part," Eden said. Christopher Mayhew, the questioner, said it would be tragic if new ! fighting broke out in Korea because the United Nations refused to . repatriate war prisoners, many of whom could return to Red territory safely. Eden questioned whether those prisoners who now refuse repatria- ' tion could go home safely, and he said they would not be sent home. ♦ ♦ ♦ President Truman . . . .. . will use the- Taft-Hartley law unless the oil strike is settled soon. He would invoke the law's court injunction provisions to stop the strike. Informed officials in Washington say the White House is awaiting the outcome of a meeting Tuesday between oil industry representatives and the striking unions with the wage stabilization board. The strike of 90,000 oilworkers in various parts of the country has caused slashes in both civilian and military flying . . . and there is a growing shortage of automobile gasoline in some places. In general, record stocks of petroleum before the walkout have kept strike effects down to a minimum. ^ Rhode Island Republican convention ... ^ ...has voted to give its eight national convention votes to General Eisenhower. In taking that action, the convention overrode the wishes ’ - of the Rhode Island state Republican organization. GOP state leaders had called for a split slate with Senator Taft getting two votes, Eisen hower five and one remaining neutral. ’’ The Eisenhower slate won by a roll call vote of 44 to 38 following k long debate. ♦ ♦ ♦ The house has ordered investigations ... ... of television and radio programs, books, magazines and comic '. books. Both actions came on resolutions introduced by Rep. E. C. Gathings of Arkansas. He says he is concerned by what he terms, "The pre >■ valence of dirty literature available at cheap cost to almost any kid in the country.” But Gathings says he has no intention of proposing or suggesting censorship. * Gathing also feels that youngsters are being fed too strong a diet of crime and murder on radio and T-V. The McCarthy hearings ... . got tangled up in financial questions Monday. The opening of a Senate subcommittee’s hearings on whether there are grounds to expel - Republican senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin from the Senate. ♦ Campus Briefs • A Duckling Counseling in itruction meeting will be held to Jay at 6:30 p.m, in the Carson lall living room.
