GOP Congressmen

Facts Expected To
Still Public Clamor
Washington (If T h e White
House gave Republican congress
men today an account of the
William S. Girard case which
two of the lawmakers said after

once all the facts are made
public.
President Eisenhower himself
and later several of his aides
discussed the case with the
House members at a White
House breakfast.
Would Change Minds
Rep. William E. Hess (R-Ohio),
who previously had been du
bious of the decision to let Jap
anese courts try Girard in the
death of a Japanese woman, told
a newsman after the White
House talks:
"I think when all the facts
come out the big majority of the
people will change their minds
on it."
Attorneys for Girard, an
Army specialist 3-C are trying
to get a federal court here to
order Girard's return to this
country.
Ruling Awaited
Federal Judge Joseph C. Mc
Garraghy had given them until
today to file a brief in support
of their claim that Girard should
not be surrendered to the Jap
anese courts.
Earlier, U. S. Attorney Oliver
Gasch had told the United Press
"it wouldn't surprise me" if
McGarraghy gave his ruling late

judge would back up the gov
ernment. Contests Scheduled

MEDFORD, OREGON,
Backers of Foreign Aid
Fight Against Cutbacks
Foreign Aid Bill
'Gigantic Hoax'
Morse Declares
Oregon Democrat
Sees 'Senseless Waste'
Washington W Sen.
Wayne L. Morse assailed Presi
dent Eisenhower's scaled-down
foreign aid bill today as a
"gigantic hoax" which would
perpetuate the "senseless waste
of millions of dollars."
The Oregon Democrat told
the Senate that cuts made by
the foreign relations committee
in reducing aid spending
authority to 53,637.000,000 were
only "a spit in the ocean of
foreign aid waste."
Others Also Critical
Sens. Russell B. Long (D-La.)
and Herman E. Talmage (D-Ga.)
also criticized the measure. Long
said in some instances "a single
unwise and inexcusable bureau
cratic decision in Washington
is costing this nation as much
as $100 million each year."
But Sen. H. Alexander Smith
(R-N.J.), second-ranking GOP
member of the foreign relations
group, defended the program as
"an integral part of foreign
policy and an extension of our
responsibilities as the foremost
free nation in the world."
Knowland Urges Approval
Both Republican leader Wil
liam F. Knowland (Calif.) and
Democratic leader Lyndon B.
Johnson (Tex.) have urged the
senate to approve the program
without further cuts.
The pending bill merely
authorizes the size of the pro
gram for fiscal 1958. A more
determined effort to trim it may
be made when the appropria
tion measure providing the
actual cash comes before the
Senate.
North Entrance Road

The north entrance road to
Crater Lake National park, op
ened for the season Wednesday,

General weather conditions to

snow flurries.

Senate Leaders
Concede Tests
Might Be Close
Girard Case May
Delay Final Action
Washington 'IT The Sen
ate rejected 49-40 the first
attempt to cut President Eis
enhower's S3. 637.000. 000 for
eign aid bill for the coming
year.
Washington opt Senate
foreign aid backers marshaled
their forces today against a de
termined effort to make at least
some cuts in President Eisen
hower's aid program.
Leaders were quietly confident
they could muster enough votes
to beat down major cuts. But
they conceded privately some of
the tests might be close.
A new hazard to the aid pro
gram arose, meanwhile, in the
House. Chairman Thomas S.
Gordon (D-Ill.) said the House
Foreign Affairs Committee will
delay final action on aid if nec
essary in order to investigate the
case of GI William S. Girard.
The Senate resumed debate on
the $3,637,000,000 aid measure
with leaders hoping for final
action tonight.
The first major showdown
shaprd up over an amendment
by Sen. Russell B. Long (D-La.)
to lop S300 million from the Sl,
800.000.000 approved by the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee for direct military help.
Long, one of the bill's leading
critics, planned to follow up
with a proposal for a $90 million
slash in the S800 million rec
ommended for "defense sup
port" or indirect military aid.
Several other proposed amend
ments also were in the works.
The Senate agreed to limit de
bate and begin voting on the
measure today after a day and
a half of agruments. Although
approval of the measure without
major changes appeared likely,
there were strong hints it faces
a trimming when actual appro
priations are considered later.
The present bill only "authoriz
es" the program.

He was expected momentarily
to announce plans for a new

Commission To
Control Agreement
Included in Plan
Control Posts for
Observation Projected
London HP Russia today
formally proposed that all nu
clear tests be halted for a period
of two to three years and that
an international commission be
set up to control such an agrfc
ment. Valerian Zorin, head of the
Soviet disarmament delegation,
placed the Russian proposal be
fore the five-power United Na
tions disarmament subcommit
tee conference which resumed
after a Whitsunday break to
day. The Soviet proposal said an
international commission should
observe how the agreement was
being carried out and shou)g
report on its findings to the
U.N. Security Council and the
U.N. General Assembly.
Russia also proposed that con
trol posts, suitably equipped
with scientific apparatus, be set
up in the United States, Russia,
Britain "and the Pacific area."
These control posts would be
set up for the observation of
the projected agreement on the
ending of nuclear tests.
Zorin tossed Russia's new
plan into the disarmament con
ference after criticizing the
slowness of Western consulta
tions on the West's latest dis
armament proposals.
Follows Hint
The plan followed a hint
Thursday from Soviet Commu
nist Party Chief Nikita S.
Khrushchev at a press confer
ence in Helsinki that Russia
would be prepared to agree to
the establishment of control
posts in the Soviet Union and
in the West to observe imple
mentation of the ban on tests.
First reaction from Western
delegations to Zorin's plans
pointed up its failure to include
any commitment to halt pro
duction of fissionable materials
for military purposes.
