Arthur W. Radford. A proposal by Radford, chair-; man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to slash the nation's armed forces! by about 800,000 men by 1900 was said to have united the service; chiefs in vigorous protest against his ideas. In a dispatch from Washington, the Times said the three chiefs objected to Radford's proposal on dip grounds the reduction would sffrivel U.S. armed force contribu tions to the defense of Europe. rThe Times said: '''The political implications of his concept of policy for three years ahead, signifying in effect a .withdrawal to a fortress Amer ica, were reported alarmed high Defense officials. The result to put strategic planning 'on ice until after the election. Who gave the stop order was not learned but it was assumed that it was either Defense Secre tary Charles E. Wilson or Reuben B. Robertson Jr., his deputy. Both exert influence over plan ning the "new look" in defense for the fiscal years 1058, 1959 and 1900. The service chiefs have been engaged in the strategic planning lor aoout two montns. The Army reportedly was brac- inn Itself for a possible cut of 80,000 to 100,000 men in the fiscal year 1958 which starts next July 1, and It was estimated that such a reduction would mean the with drawal of 40,000 men from over teas bases, "Adm. Radford was reported to be giving the impression to col leagues that he had President Eisenhower's support for his gen eral objectives," the dispatch add ed, "although it was believed his highly controversial memorandum on the reductions had not been read by the President. The chiefs of staff are: Army, Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor; Air Force, Gen. Nathan F. Twining; and Navy, Adm. Arlcigh A. Burke. The Times said sources familiar with Radford's concept and views summarized his proposals in this way; Protection of the nation's econ omy is an overriding requirement and the defense budget in lfino must be held under 40 billion dollars. The objectives in this period. would be to reduce the Army by 450,000 men, the Navy and Marine Corps by 200,000 and the Air Force by 150,000. ' Any war most likely would be a general one, short, violent and in volving nuclear weapons. Conse quently, Army forces overseas would be reduced to "token forces" with atomic weapons. In a war the Army would not be committed, except for token forces, because both mobilization day and D-Day would be simul taneous. Hence decisive action might take place before the Army could be shipped overseas. The National Guard and Army reserves would be employed in civil defense and related roles. The Strategic Air Command would be the dominant force and the Nnvy's primary mission would be antisubmarine warfare. Bond Sales Up Bit in Marion Marlon county U.

Watkins (R-Utah) said Har riman s evident intent in a speech yesterday to hang a "soft on communism" label on Eisenhower "is an invitation for Republicans to review again the miserable rec ord of the Truman and Roosevelt administrations on this issue." Watkins said Harriman's state ments arc "just a part of a des perate attempt of a presidential aspirant to win a nomination as the leader of the ultraradicals of the Democratic party." Sen. Thye (R-Minn) described as "fantastic" Harriman's conten tion that Eisenhower, by crediting Sovie' leaders with peace lims at the Geneva conference last sum mer, had naively paved the way for great Communist gains. "This, of course, is without any foundation," Thye said. "If the Democrats have chosen to make this a campaign issue they will find the people do not believe such rubbish." Sen.

Aides said Harriman Vould make no specific reply to a call by Sen. Byrd (D-Va) that he spell out what he would do as president to make effective the Supreme Court's order for racial integra tion in the public schools. Harriman said yesterday that if he were elected he would use the power ot the White House "posi tively and firmly" to bring about compliance. Byrd, who has advo cated "massive resistance" to the court's decision, asked in a state ment: "Will he use force under, any conditions whatever to compel compliance? . . . Will he send federal troops? Will he attempt to coerce the Southern states by denial of federal aid to which they arc entitled? Does he favor jailing or imposing fines on stale or local officials?" . At a National Press Club lunch eon yesterday, Harriman said there had been a "smear cam paign" against him on the false basis thai he would use troops to enforce the decision. lie said that was "not the American way," 42-CentHop Price Urged Due to the increased cost in growing and Harvesting hops, hop growers of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho are expected to hold for a minimum of 42 cents on all future contracts.

Cyprus Chiefs Look Askance At 'Self-Rule' By ROBERT TUCKMAN NICOSIA, Cyprus in Some Greek Cypriot leaders today were reported ready to reject Britain's new appeal for cooperation in drafting a constitution and devel oping self-government for Cyprus. The latest British moves came in a speech to Parliament by Prime Minister Eden and a radio broadcast here by Field Marshal "tackle this problem one step at a time" with patience and com mon sense, Harding indicated he would prefer to treat with secular Cypriot leaders rather than with exiled Archbishop Makarios and other Greek Orthodox Church of ficials. This appeared to be a major barrier. Greek Cypriot leaders re peatedly have demanded that Ma karios, leader of the Enosis mov ment to unite Cyprus with Greece, be brought back from exile to par ticipate in any new negotiations on Ihe island's future. Eden's statement contained no reference to self-determination for Cyprus, the top demand of Cyp- riots seeking to' end British ruie and join the island with Greece. Eden said Britain will press plans for self-government, but not "un til terrorism has been overcome." The Prime Minister also reject ed suggestions that the Cyprus dispute be put before the North Atlantic Treaty Organization now, a course reportedly favored by the United States. In his broadcast, Harding as serted pro-Greek extremists are beginning to crack under British countermeasures. He said he therefore saw no reason for fur ther delay in developing self-government. He warned, however, there will be no letup in the drive to stamp out underground violence.

No Increase Demos Taunt GOP for MovetoVoidD-YPact By G. MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON W-The admin istration's move to have the courts declare "unlawful" its re pudiated Dixon Yates contract drew taunts today from Demo cratic senators who said it will be a campaign issue. Sen. Gore (D-Tenni, a bitter critic of the contract President Eisenhower had ordered negotiat ed with the Dixon-Yates private power interests, said caustically "It tfill be interesting" to hear how the President explains this in the coming election campaign "He'll have ample opportunity," Gore said "because he'll be re minded of it frequently." He said Eisenhower was "personally and officially responsible for the con tract, and "repeatedly advocated it and defended it. Sen. Hiekeniooper (R-Iowa) said In a separate interview he docsn t see how it can be "anything like a campaign issue if it's honestly discussed, and 1 assume it will be." "The contract itself was a good contract," Hiekeniooper said. But Sen Kefauver (D-Tenn), a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, said the contract "was and is a scanda lous thing." He said he hopes the case is settled "prior to this fall's elections." The comments came after the Justice Department yesterday asked the U.S. Court of Claims to throw out a Dixon-Yalcs suit against the government. The suit seeks $3 541.778.45 of payments by the government for costs incurred Less Painful Right-of-Way Policy Seen Members of the legislative high way interim committee meeting here Thursday had as their main topic for discussion' less painful procedures for obtaining right-of-way property for the highway de partment. Sen. Warren McMinimce, Tilla mook, chairman of the committee, told of the dissatisfaction on the part of residents whose property is required by the state highway commission and other state agencies. The committee considered the creation of a board or adoption of some other procedure for appraisal and purchase of required land. One member noted that creation of such a board would result in criticism from the highway depart ment. Also discussed by the committee was the possibility of transferring weighmaster 'functions from the state highway commission to tho state police or some other agency, Woodburn Drive-In Wed.

They had formed this company to build and run a 107-million-dollar private power Eisenhower had ordered the contract negotiated to replace cur rent consumed by plants of the Atomic Energy Commission from TVA lines. When the administration can celed the contract, it did so on grounds that need for the addi tional power would be met by a municipal plant the city of Mem phis, Tenn., a TVA customer, had decided to build. Seeking dismissal of the Dixon Yates suit, the Justice Department argued that the canceled agree ment never was "a final, binding and oomplete contract;" that it was technically faulty; and that it contained some provision which violated the public utility holding company law. $205 Fine Result Of Drunk Driving Peter Andrew Buller, 21, wai fined $205 in district court Thurs day after pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated.
