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.

gressional feelings were showing

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

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

Forces Clash on Foreign Aid
Taft Picks Up 7 Delegates

While some Taft and Eisen

quest for presidential-nominating
votes, others locked In House de

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

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
