Expected Failure To Reveal Files Would Bring Act Defiance of Congress Irks GOP Members Washington, Mar. 29 (U.R) Republicans demanded today that the senate cite President Truman for contempt if as ex pected his administration ig nores a senate subpoena for its loyalty files. Led by Senate GOP Leader Kenneth S. Wherry, they argued that a supreme court decision on such a contempt citation would determine once and for all whether the executive has the legal power to defy the congress. Could Block Move But there was little if any chance that the senate would heed their demands. It was pointed out that a contempt cita tion must be approved by the whole senate and that he demo cratic majority could block such a move if it ever reached the floor. A senate foreign relations sub committee issued the subpoenas yesterday after Mr. Truman flatly refused to permit its inves tigators to have access to govern ment loyalty files. The orders were directed against Secretary of State Dean Acheson, Attorney General J. Howard McGrath and President Harry B. Mitchell of the civil service commission. It was con sidered a foregone conclusion that they would be ignored. Would Defy Attempt Joseph C. Duke, the senate sergeant - at - arms, planned to serve the subpoenas upon the three officials today. Mr. Truman has made it plain that, upon his orders, officials of the government would defy any congressional attempt to obtain the loyalty records of federal employees.

This year Ihe decennial cen sus wili really be a combina tion of three major nose-count ing and information-seeking sur veys. Questions this time will relate to population, housing and agriculture. The idea is to save several thousand dollars in field costs since formerly these cen suses have been made separate ly. Also, by taking all the infor mation on the same date, the bureau of the census will get a complete statistical picture of the nation's people, dwellings, and farms with all items in prop er fncu.s 45 Questions There will be 45 questions put Wthe population this year, but only seven of these will be put to everyone. The rest will be aked of a sampling of the pop ulace. All individuals will be asked: Name? Age? Sex? Mari tal status and birthplace? Rela Nation Taking Chance Eisenhower Washington. Mar. 29 (U.R) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said today the nation is "taking chances" by not spending enough for the air force, anti-submarine warfare and Alaskan defenses. "We do not believe war is im minent," the former allied su preme commander told the sen ate appropriations committee. But he then urged that some defense spending increases be undertaken in what he termed "vital" defense fields. Taking Chances Eisenhower told the members that: 1. He has been informed that projected spending for fiscal 1951 will not permit mainte nance of a "modernized" 48 group minimum air force. 2. He "personally believes" that "we are taking chances" in the anti-submarine field by fail ing to provide adequate sums for naval equipment and personnel training. 3. The U. S. would make a "mistake" in not providing a small garrison on each of its ma jor air fields in Alaska because of the danger of "some kind of sn air attcick " 4. That the United States has "gone as far in favor of economy in military spending as is wise and "in some specific ways too far." Many Surprised Eisenhower was called before the committee after he made a California Solons Defeat First Plan For Tobacco Tax Sacramento, Mar. 29 (U.R) An initial defeat was recorded today in the state legislature against a proposed cigarette and tobacco tax. In spite of support for the tax from politically-powerful school organizations, the assembly rev enue and tax committee cut the tax out of a $30,000,000 school aid bill. With both votes unrecorded, the committee then voted to have the money taken from a $75, 000.000 "rainy day" reserve. The action virtually killed the bill, since Gov. Earl Warren has threatened to veto such meas ures. A cigarette and tobacco tax bill, however, also is pending in the senate. It would divide an estimated $47,000,000 in revenue two-thirds to schools and one third to counties for relief and pension costs. School groups agreed to take that kind of bill last night. The assembly bill, by Francis Dunn (D., Oakland) had been backed by school groups as a school aid and tax package. The tax proposed was 3 cents a pack age on cigarettes and 15 per cent on other tobacco products. It got a preliminary okay from the as sembly education committee be fore running into the tax com mittee. BUS TRAVEL UNAFFECTED Officials of the Trailways bus lines here pointed out today that a strike of bus drivers of the Continental Santa Fe Trailways in Los Angeles has no effect upon bus travel here. Passeng ers are being accepted for south ern California points, it was re ported. tionship to head of household? One additional question will be asked of all foreign-born per sons, to determine whether they are naturalized. For all persons 14 years old and over there are additional questions on status of employment during the week be fore the census, the number of hours worked and the kind of I work done. The choice of the individuals to whom the sample questions will be put will be left entirely to chance. There is no way of telling in advance who will be included in the sample. One in five will be asked regarding in come. Word of Assurance For those who feel some reti cence In answering what they may consider personal questions, the census bureau has a word of assurance. The census law puts a heavy penalty on census tak ers if they reveal confidential in formation to others than sworn census employees. The penalty Is a maximum of $1,000 fine and two years in jail if they gossip about information divulged to them in confidence. But if citi zens are still shy. the census taker will be glad to give them U.S. AID TO i speech in New York last week Irt which he said he was con cerned about the way the coun try has disarmed. This dismayed and surprised many congress men inasmuch as Eisenhower had helped draft the administra tion's $13 billion proposed mili tary budget. The hearing originally was in tended to be secret, but it was thrown open to the public and press. Eisenhower emphasized that Haylift Pondered For Starving Cattle Chicago, Mar. 29 (U.R) The federal government today con sidered appeals for an emergency haylift to save starving cattle in Sawmill Workers' Council Disclaims Protest Letter The Klamath Basin District council of Lumber and Sawmill Workers union today disclaimed the protest recently put forward by officers of the organization's local union No. 3063 in regard to the picketing of Kogap Lum ber industries by the Medford Building Trades council. In a statement signed by Gene W. Tedrlck, business agent, the union council said: "Klamath Basin District coun cil .. . does not recognize this protest on the part of local No. 3063 as legitimate. This protest was not the result of a regular union meeting but was the action of individual employees, both un ion and non-union, taken on the job. No meeting of the union was called to discuss this matter and no authority was given to any officer of the local union to write this letter of protest to the Central Labor council, nor to release same to press. "The Klamath Basin District council," the statement contin ued, "... recognizes the action taken by the Medford Central Labor council as legitimate and does not sanction the action tak en by the employees of the Ko gap Lumber industries in the name of local No. 3063." The letter referred to, which protested the picketing action, said that the action "if contin ued, may put at least 100 work ers out of work." It was signed by B. A. Bowman, as president, and Herbert W. Gifford, as re cording secretary, of the local union, and was stamped with the seal of the local union. Wafer Ballet To Be Part of Rose Festival Portland, Ore., Mar. 29 (U.R) A water ballet will be a part of the 1950 rose festival, L. W.

Mallett said a 60 by 100 foot canvas tank would be erected for the event. The rose festival will be held June 7-11. special forms that can be mailed direct to the bureau. Here in town, the 17th decen nial census will be completed in about two to four weeks. Out in the rural areas where homes are more widely scattered the count may take longer. Expect Changes When they are through with the job, census officials expect to have found that there is an unprecedented gain in the total number of married couples, an upward turn in the average size of young families, a substantial Increase in the number of house holds, an increase in the number of dwelling units, a continuing long-term decline In the nation's farm population, a decline in the number of negro families on farms, an increased mechaniza tion of (arms, an Increase in the number of farms with electricity, an Increase in the employment of women, and a change in con gressional representation. They still don't know the de gree of these trends and It's go ing to cost them $90 million t find out. Bin consiaering ine fact thev will collect 15 billion items of Information, the cost per unit ii considered small. greater attention should be paid to military intelligence functions and the field of industrial mobili zation. He did not urge increased spending here, however, Eisenhower prefaced his ex temporaneous remarks by warn ing at the same time that "ex cessive expenditures" in the military field would undermine the nation's economy and be "playing into the hands of the enemy." Eisenhower recalled that 18 blizzard-ravaged North Dakota. A district official of the gen eral service administration hur ried to Bismarck, N. D., today to investigate farmers' reports that their livestock, floundering in 30 inches of snow, were starv ing to death. Road Work Difficult "Cattle already weak from the hard winter are dying, and mud under the snow makes opening of roads difficult," Gov. Fred Aandahl said in a telegram to federal officials in St. Paul, Minn. "Heavy further livestock loss es are indicated," he said. The huge spring storm which dumped the snow on the Dakotas and northern Minnesota moved across Canada today, and weath er conditions Improved in the U. S. Snow fell from northern Illi nois to the eastern Great lakes and light rains were reported in the South, but elsewhere across the country skies were generally clear and temperatures season able. However, the aftermath of the cyclonic storm was still being felt. Flood Warnings Issued Precautionary flood warnings were issued for the upper Mis sissippi river from Alma to Prairie du Chien, Wis. The swol len Mississippi is expected to be seven feet above normal when its crest hits La Crosse, Wis., Friday. The state highway department banned heavy trucks from 27 northern Wisconsin highways after a warm air mass, spawned by the turbulent storm, touched off a sudden thaw. A ranchhand's frozen body was found near Elk Mountain, Wyo., late yesterday. Officials believed he lost his way in the storm Saturday night. His death brought the total of storm vic tims to 24.

Mar. 29 (U.R) Johnnv Meyer, much publicized party-thrower for Plane Maker Howard Hughes, noneymoonea here today with Actress Patty Lydon. ASIA months ago while acting as tem porary chairman of the joint chiefs of staff he had urged an outside limit of $15 billion in cluding stockpile expenses for the 1951 budget. This outside amount, he said, had been trimmed somewhat by President Truman, but to no great degree. No Great Change The general said he does not recommend "great . . . major or radical" changes in defense spending. But he said he has been ad vised that the air force would not be able to maintain 48 fully modernized air groups under the proposed budget. And anything below 48 groups, he said, would dip un der the line" between prepared ness and economy. "On this one point we are go ing a little bit too far (in reduc tions)." he said. Concerning Alaskan defenses. he said it would be a "clear mis take not to give each major air base a small but efficient garri son with adequate living quar ters. He said he believes "we are taking chances in the anti-submarine field" by not pushing a more elaborate program. But he said he would yield to the judg ment of Adm. Forrest P. Sher man, chief of naval operations, if Sherman differed with him on this. The general said some In creases he proposes would ibe actually a re-allotment of funds. The current budget request does not include about $600 million for stockpiling which is carried in another bill. Figure Trimmed Eisenhower revealed that his proposed $15 billion figure was trimmed. He had gotten the serv ice chiefs of staff "pretty close together." But afterward, he ran into difficulties, he said, To meet these he had suggested that $250 million to $300 million in the 1951 budget be retained by the defense secretary for siler allot ment where needed, probably to the air force. This was months before the budget, as trimmed by the presi dent, was sent congress. Eisenhower said industrial mo bilization plans are vitally need ed. He said he had discussed this with Elder Statesman Bernard M. Baruch. Such plans would cost little money, he said. The general defended his pro posed $15 billion budget as one that would not over-strain the economy. Eisenhower Insisted that the country has gone as far in favor of economy as is wise. Eisenhower testified before a jam-packed hearing of the senate appropriations committee. The hearing, which at first was to be in secret, was thrown open to the public after It was under stood that President Truman wanted the general to state his views publicly, Sams Valley Farmers Seek Soil District Residents of tie Snms Valley community today indicated they are still interested In the forma tion of a soil conservation district in their area despite the defeat the proposed district recently suffered In a county-wide refer endum election.

Acheson, Experts Request Finances To Combat Reds Hearings To Begin On Point 4 Program Washington, Mar. 29 (U.R) Secretary of -State Dean Ache son and his top Far Eastern ex perts today urged increased United States aid to resist "com munist infiltration" in southeast Asia. Appearing before the senate foreign relations committee in an effort to bolster sagging bi partisan foreign policy, they al so asked that work begin at once on President Truman's "point four" program for aiding eco nomically undeveloped regions of the world. Hearings Ordered The committee complied by ordering public hearings to be gin tomorrow on the "point four" program, with Acheson as the first witness. Committee Chairman Tom Connally (D., Tex.), in a state ment released after a closed meeting, said Acheson and Am-bassador-at-Large Philip C. Jes- sup urged availability of a flex ible fund" for use to provide aid In "the general area of China when and where need might develop." This apparently referred to current requests for continued availability of already appropri ated money for economic and arms aid. Program 'Soft' Acheson, Jcssup and depart ment aides met with the com mittee amid increasing congres sional attacks on Far Eastern policy decisions. Acheson's loyalty program In the department has been de scribed as "soft," and Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R Wis.), has termed Jessup at associate of pro-communists. Jessup denied that charge recently while testi fying under oath. Before going to the capital, Acheson already had taken an other step to strengthen rela tions with members of congress. The state department announced that former Sen. John Sherman Cooper, Kentucky republican, will accompany Acheson to the forthcoming meetings of the western Big Three foreign mini sters and the North Atlantic pact council in London. This will be the first time in several years that a republican has sat in on Big Three deliberations.
