But, in the waning days of the

supplies, checked his advance at

checked him again (with the aid

rounds the barbed Wire fortress of

Before he could get going again,

Tuesday as the special counsel for
a Senate investigation ot the McCarthy-Army

a unanimous 6-0 vote.
Sears, 58-year-old past president
of the Massachusetts Bar Assn,
had been chosen for the job only
last week.
At that time, public hearings on
the charges exchanged by Sen.

The resignation of Sears rubs
out any prospect that the hearings
can begin then as the subcommit

special counsel.
Sears gave his resignation, at a
closed door meeting of the sub
committee which lasted for 2 hours
and 15 minutes.
After the session, Sears met with
reporters and read a statement:
"I am completely satisfied in
my own mind," Sears said, "that
I am thoroughly competent to con
duct the pending inquiry objec

to all. It is not in my blood to do

Sears said he was leaving "in

most of which are without founda

He added:

Ike Soys Russia Fears War
Because Of U.S. Readiness
WASHINGTON UPI President
Elsenhower told the nation and
the free world last night Russia is
unlikely to risk war so long as
this country stands ready to strike
bark swiftly with all its atomic
might.
The President declared, however,
that Americans must prepare
"very coldly ai'd very carefully"
against the danger that power-loving
men In the Kremlin might "in
a fit of mndnes, or through mis
calculation'' plunge the world Into
a hydrogen-bomb-age holocaust.
Eisenhower went on all radio
and television networks in a re
laxed, half-hour plea for a sober
facing of the atomic era facts of
life and a fervent warning against
the perils of "Jitters" and hysteria
over communism, investigations ot
communism or the threat of de
pression. VIGILANCE URGED
We don't have to fear I" he said.
Of course, there are risks, but
we do not have to be hysterical.
We can be vigilant; we can be
Americans. We can stand up and

lead this world to a peaceful and
secure existence, and I assure you
we can do it."
In a plain effort to soothe some
of the controversies boiling In this
country, and to quiet H-bomb nerv
ousness abroad, Eisenhower broke
some new ground In this mainly
off-the-cuff address delivered while
relaxing against the edge of a desk
in the White House basement:
PUBLIC OPINION
He said the FBI rather than
congressional investigators Is the
nation's "great bulwark" against
Communist Infiltration.
He said "very grave offenses'
can be committed against Innocent
persons by "someone having the
immunity of congressional mem
bership" though he voiced confi
dence, that in the long run public
opinion "will straighten this mat
ter out wherever and whenever
there is teal violence done to our
people."
And he said that while Commu
nists in this country are danger
ous and must be pinpointed, their
number is "minute" and la often
exaggerated. . '
Actually, be said, there aren't
more than; 28,000 doctrinaire or
dyed-ln-the-wool ' Communists and
the great mass" of government
workers and other Americana are
"Just as dedicated as you and I."
UNEMPLOYMENT
On another home front topic, he
said unemployment "happily shows
every sign now of leveling off."
Tne government is ready to un
dertake anything necessary to pre
vent a depression, he said, but
"does not intend to go Into any
slam-bang emergency program un
less it is necessary."
The great' factor working for
peace," Eisenhower aald, Is Rus
sia's "economic weakness" com
pared with the mighty American
Industrial machine. - .
"Of all these sobering effects."
he said, "none Is greater than the
retaliation that would certainly be
visited upon them If they were to
attack any of our nations or any
part of our vital Interests aggres
sively ana in oraer to conquer us."

French Study
U.S. Warning
PARIS, I The Elsenhower
administration has proposed that
the United States, Britain, France,
Australia and New Zealand issue
a strong warning to "communist
Aggressors" In Southeast Asia,
French Foreign Ministry sources
said Tuesday.
They declined to disclose the
terms of this warning, but said
lt is being studied by the ministry.
It clearly would be a warning
fo Red China against more active
participation In the Indochina war.
One source said the declaration
would resemble that made last
August by the 16 Allied powers
participating in the Korean War.
This said:
"We declare In the interests of
the peace of the world that if
another armed attack should oc
cur, constituting a new provoca
tion against the principles of the
United Nations, we would be
united and ready to resist."
The ministry sources said the
declaration on Indochina and
Southeast Asia had been the sub
ject of a conversation between
U.S. Secretary ot State Dulles and
French ambassador Henri Bonnet
last Saturday.
They added that perhaps Asian
countries would Be invited to join
in the warning to the Communist.

WASHINGTON W The State
Department reported Tuesday
that Secretary ot State Dulles has
consulted on the Southeast Asian
crisis with dlplomatio representa

peat few days.
Authoritative indications era
that the American government ts
seeking the formation of some
kind of regional grouping to coun
ter the Communist threat to the
area and to undertake united ac
tton specifically In the war in
Indochina.
PARIS DISPATCHES -
Word of the Washington develop
ments coincided with dispatches
from Paris which quoted French
Foreign Ministry sources as say
ing the United States baa proposed
that Britain, France, Australia and
Mew Zealand Join with this country
tn a strong warning to "Oommu-...
nut aggressors" in that area.
At the same time dispatches
from Canberra said government

Won from Britain, Australia and' -New
Zealand that they will sup
port France as much as neces- -aary
to keep Indochina out of Red
hands: Reports from London .took
somewhat the same line.-
HEW WARNING
In Washington, officials private
ly displayed little enthusiasm lor
the idea of a Joint declaration or
new warning to the Chinese Com- ,
munists to refrain from open Inter,
vention In Indochina lest they suf
fer from powerful Allied retalia
tion.
The United States is. however. .
understood to be urgently Inter
ested In some kind of plan for
what Dulles has called "unrteo

Inquiries about the Paris report
at the State Department brought
the following statement from Press .

and Suydam said In response to
questions that this was due to the
pressure of business in the de

say whether the business was re

NOTICE SERVED
Earlier Rep. MOrano (R-Conn)
sailed on the administration to
serve notice the United States will
not take part , in the April 36 Ge
neva, conference on Asia "until lt
has been clearly established that
Red China is not engaged in ag
gression In Indochina."
Morano, a member of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, said
in a statement he was urging this
action as a result of Dulles' state
ment Monday that the Chinese
Communists sre "awful close" to
direct aggression in Indochina.
Members of tne foreign affairs
committee seemed worried over a .
possibility that the United States
may have to make a choice soon
between more direct Intervention
In Indochina and possible loss of
Southeast Asia to communism.
