Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Page 2 Wed., May 21, 1952 Senators Pump General on Koje Sharp Questions Fired at Ridgway By EDWIN B. HAAKINSON Allocated Preu Stair Writer WASHINGTON (P) Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway came under sharp questioning from senators Tuesday about the Koje Island in cidents which one lawmaker told him had brought shock and a sense of shame here at home. The queries were fired at the former U.N. commander in the Far East behind closed doors, but Sen. Russell (D-Ga), presiding at the session, sent reporters a copy of a statement he made. In the statement, Russell con gratulated Ridgway "for the mag nificent job you have performed as a leader of our fighting men in a grim and bloody war." But used such words as "bewildering" and "shocking" in reference to the "kidnaping" of a U.S. general by Communist prisoners on Koje Island. RIDGWAY, given a- celebrity's welcome to the capltol, was tech nically before the Senate Armed Services Committee which Rus sell heads. However, all senators had been invited to attend and more than one-tihrd of the membership was on hand when the doors were closed. While this meeting was going on, it was announced that Ridg way will address a joint meeting of the Senate and the House at 9:30 a.m. PDT Thursday. Ridgway is en route to Europe to replace Gen. Elsenhower as head of North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization forces. SEN. ROBERTSON (D.-Va.), one of the first to leave the closed door meeting of senators, told re porters Ridgway was unable to shed much new light on the Koje incidents although questioned ex tensively. "He told us he had left before a detailed report was received on what actually did occur." Robertson said the general con firmed reports that the Chinese Communists "have been building their troop strength" during the truce talks.

Equal Tax Status ' WASHINGTON OP) Con gressional feelings were showing lumps Wednesday from the home town needling a lot of lawmakers are getting foV voting themselves income tax relief. ' In a word, the reaction on Capi tol Hill might be summed up as: "Yow-w!" MOST HOUSE members were reluctant to stick their necks out on so touchy an issue. But private ly they feel they have been badly misunderstood in voting to make their expenses, while away from home, deductible as business ex pense for tax purposes. It's no more than everyone else jis allowed, they contend. They nave to Keep up iwo nomes, one here and one back in their con gressional district. And they have to travel back and forth on their constituents' business, they say. The Internal Revenue Bureau has ruled in effect that a member of Congress has two homes for tax purposes In other words, he's never away from home on busi ness. THAT'S NOT fair, complained Rep. Steed (D-Okla), adding: "What the average member of Congress seeks is only to put him self on a footing of equality with other taxpayers. A lot of my con stituents don't even know I pay heavy income taxes, and I can't even claim legitimate expenses, as a deduction." Congressmen now get $12,500 a year, plus a $2,500 tax-exempt al lowance. However, Congress voted to make the $2,500 allowance tax able effective Jan. 1. Forces Clash on Foreign Aid Taft Picks Up 7 Delegates By ASSOCIATED PRESS While some Taft and Eisen hower supporters collided in their quest for presidential-nominating votes, others locked In House de bate Wednesday 'on the issue of foreign aid spending.

PARIS W) France con ferred its higest honor the Me daille Militaire on Gen. Eisen hower Wednesday in a farewell tribute within the shadow of Napoleon's tomb. The Supreme Commander of Allied Powers in Europe received the award from Premier Antolne Pinay in the Court of Honor of Les Invalides. The last foreigner to receive this mark of France's highest es teem was Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1946. TWO HOTJRS earlier, Eisen hower became an honorary citizen of Louvecinnes, the village of 2,400 inhabitants in whose area SHAPE headquarters is located. The general drove to the Arc de Triomphe after the Invalides ceremony and placed a wreath of red roses on the tomb of France's Unknown Soldier. The Medaille Militaire is award ed to commanding officers only after they. have received every other high decoration. It custom arily is reserved for enlisted men G0IN' FISHIN'?

With it goes a yearly allowance of 750 francs, or about $2. . Premier Pinay kissed Eisen hower on both cheeks after affix ing the decoration. IN A SPEECH, he lauded the American general for his "splen did human and military quali ties," during World War II. Recalling that Gen. Eisenhower, after fulfilling his mission of lib eration, had returned when peace was again menaced, Pinay said: "By the nobility and the lofti ness of his vision, his inspiring faith in the possibilities, the re sources and the destinies of the free peoples, his understanding of the problems of the international cooperation, he instilled in the forces placed under his orders the spirit of emulation, solidarity and unity which should inspire the 14 nations of the Atlantic Pact in their effort at collective security to assure their common defense and preservation of peace." FRANCE ROLLED out all the panoply of her power for the bril liant ceremony. Thousands lined the route to the Invalides. Troops guarded the way. In the courtyard, Republican guards in bright blue uniforms, and silver helmets topped by red plumes stood at attention on horseback. Pace Speaks Al West Point WEST POINT, N. Y. OP) Army Secretary Frank Pace says "the current period of partial-mobilization may . well last indefi nitely." Pace adds that a peacetime Army, within our generation, "will be less than three or four times its pre-war size," he told cadets of the United States Mili tary Academy Tuesday night. The Army secretary addressed a dinner closing Tuesday's jubi lee convocation, the last major event in West Point's observance of the academy's 150th anniver sary. President Truman participated in the day-long activities but re turned to Washington by train be fore the final dinner. In an afternoon speech, Truman told the icadets he believed the free world was "well on the way" to preserving its freedom. How ever, he said, "we must also be alert and ready to meet treachery or a renewal of aggression if that should come." BUT IN AT least five other states Maryland, Washington, Connecticut, Minnesota and Texas signs of the continuing struggle were patent. ; At Annapolis, Maryland, Gov. Theodore McKeldin said he wants the state's 24 delegates, to be picked at a Baltimore meeting Saturday, to be uninstructed and uncommitted. McKeldin, expected to head the group as "favorite son," reportedly favors Eisen hower. McKeldin, once widely labelled an Eisenhower man, lately has been complimentary to Taft. In timates insist, however, he still personally prefers Eisenhower. Washington's GOP convention at Spokane Saturday will wind up one of the bitterest battles in years for its 24 votes. Eisenhower leaders claim at least 16, but Taft backers predict an even-steven split. Eisenhower partisans expect to get all 22 of Connecticut's GOP delegates to be chosen at a Hart ford convention May 26-27. Taft backers are frankly pessimistic of their chances. In Minnesota, a fight over the GOP national committeeman post comes to a head at a state com mittee meeting Saturday. Incum bent Roy Dunn is a Taft man. He is opposed by George F. Etzell, backed by Gov. C. Elmer Ander son who is supporting Eisenhower. At Austin, the Texas State Su preme court had under advise ment a suit aimed at deciding which set of contesting delegates should be certified to the May 27 Taft's 7 to 1 delegate victory over Eisenhower in Montana puts him ahead of the general 384 to 339 in the Associated Press tabu lation of nationwide delegate strength. At Montana's Democratic con vention a 12-man uninstructed delegation was named. Eight votes were uncommitted, two favored Gov. Stevenson, of Illinois and one each favored Sens.
