At Bucharest
Bucharest. Romania UP)
Communist whitewash lay thick
over Romania's capital today as
thousands -of West Europeans
joined Iron Curtainers in the
Red-sponsored "fourth World
Youth Festival."
On hand also were four
American correspondents, the
first U.S. newsmen given Ro
manian visas in more than five
years.
For the visitors, the capital's
buildings sparkled with new
whitening and vivid flags. Vir
tually every building showed
sifjhs of a new paint job and
residents said battalions of la
borers and soldiers had been
cleaning up the city for three
months.
Most buildings were draped
with flags, including the Stars
and Stripes. The American
flags sported 64 stars instead of
48.
The opening of the two-week
festival in Bucharest's new
sports stadium was attended
yesterday by 30,000 youths
from 102 countries, according
to the official Red claims. The
affair appeared to be one more
move in the Communist peace
offensive.
Doctors Protest
Security Plan
Chicago u.B Organizations
of doctors, lawyers and den
tists objected today to Presi
dent Eisenhower's plan to
bring their members under so
cial security.
A spokesman for the Ameri
can Medical Association said
his group is "definitely and
officially opposed to includ
ing doctors in social security.
The American Dental Asso
ciation reported officials of
that group have not had suf
ficient time to study the Presi
dent's proposal, but an execu
tive of the ADA said the den
tal group has been on record
against social security for den
tists since 1049.
A spokesman for the Amer
ican Bar Association said the
lawyers of the association have
opposed social security for
some time.

!
Eisenhower glow among Re
publicans at the national Gov
ernors' Conference.
It came as the President flew
to Seattle for an overnight vis
it to the 45th annual meeting
of the state's executives.
A segment of Republican
governors lined up behind Pre
sident Eisenhower in urging a
go-slow policy on tax reduction
and an increase in the 275 bil
lion dollar federal debt limit.
But the plain-speaking Lee
told news conference the at
tempt to raise the debt ceiling
to 2 BO billion is one of the best
examples of what he assessed
as the failure of the new. admin
istration - to reverse the . big
spending trend of its Democra
tic predecessors.
He said the President Is let-
ins the people down on that
pledge. Calling for a cut in for
eign spending, he complained
of waste in the Veterans Ad
ministration and in the armed
forces.
The Utah governor reiterated
the best way to cut government
expenses is to cut taxes so
there'll be less money to spend,
In reply to a question, he
said there was mixed reaction
to Eisenhower's first six months
in office. He said some people
are disappointed. Some feel he
is doing the best he can. Some
fear the GOP has become a
"New Deal Republican Party."
Kefauver Raps
Use of Troops
Washington OP) Sen. Ke
fauver (D., Tenn.) sharply pro
tested as "alien to American
traditions Monday the propos
ed use of United States troops
to help rebuild war-shattered
South Korea.
"We're not going to tolerate
the use of American troops . . .
as forced labor in rehabilita
tion work," Kefauver said In a
Senate speech.
The Tennessee lawmaker
was talking about a plan, dis
closed last Saturday by Secre
tary of State Dulles, to put
American t.-oops to work build
ing roads, bridges, hospitals
and the like so as to make
South Korea a show window
of the free world.
Dulles said President Elsen
hower has approved the plan.
The secretary's remarks were
made at a closed meeting but
were relayed to newsmen by
other officials. Kefauver said
never before has any proposal
been made to use American
citizens In uniform as "man
ual labor." To do so, he said,
"would have an exceedingly
bad effect for us in the eyes
of the rest of the world."
