Eastern Livestock Men So
Beef Supply May Decline
' Br SAM DAWSON
KANSAS CITY W Americans
may bt crying about tight food
supplies In the next year or
lather than about food surpluses
as at present. ' And meat prices
seem more likely to go up than
down this year.
That Is the view today of some
livestock men in this city, one of
the nation's historic gateways be
tween the East and the west, and
distribution center for a lot of cat
tie from Western ranchlands.
The view goes contrary to much
or the thinking elsewhere In the na
tlon. There stress Is laid on huge
stores of butter, cheese and dried
milk, wheat and corn under gov.
ernment price support .loans. In
Industrial centers-consumers feel
that food prices are artifically high
because surpluses aren't allowed to
reach the grocery or butcher shop.

Secret Plan
Said Expired
WASHINGTON W The White
House said Monday that a 1943
. secret agreement between former
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
and British Prune Minister Win
ston Churchill, banning use of
atomic bombs except with each
other's consent, is "not in effect
at the present time."
Churchill disclosed to the House
of Commons Monday the signing
of the agreement In Quebec. He
aid he was giving out the Infor
mation with President Elsen
hower's consent.
Questioned by reporters. Presi
dential Press Secretary James
Hagertysaid It Is true that Chur
chill spoke with Elsenhower's as
sent. .
"Mr. Churchill was giving high
lights of the past history of joint
enorts oi Dotti our countries In
the early phases of development
of the atomio bomb," Hagerty
aid. ,
"The IMS agreement Is not in
effect at the present time."
It would be "obvious" Hagerty
replied to further questioning, that
the 11-year-old agreement would
not apply to the vastly more de
structive hydrogen bomb devel

Fish Count Rises

another way. They say that their
industry already has wiped out
earlier excesses, that the cattle
Ipopulatlon is no longer growing
but the human population is.
They insist that the demand lor
meat should increase steadily
the next year or so, but that the
suddIv will be fairly constant,
Hence, they argue, prices have
only one way to go now that they've
been trimmed from the peak and
that is up.
That bad news for meat eaters
is tempered by one thing:
Both sides those who point to
an apparent surplus of food and
those who contend that present con
ditions hold the sees of a potential
shortage admit that two factors
could upset their predictions,
- 1. If there should be a sharp
economic droo (which few expect
and a consequent slash in the
American standard of living and
of eating, then the demand for
meat could be sharply cut. And
prices would tend lower a boon to
consumers lucky enough to still
have folding money.
2. If the drought which has
plagued the cattleman should con
tinue, and range conditions grow
worse, herds would be cut back
and many head of cattle rushed
to market cutting prices. But the
cattle still on the range would be
scrawny, yielding fewer pounds for
the butcher to sell. This in time
could send meat prices higher.
also supporting the contention that
meat eaters still bad money to
spend.
A bad crop year. too. could
whittle down government-held
stocks of grain, built up when the
nation was having a run of Dumber
crop years.
But barring either a sharp busi-
ness drop or a searing drought,
livestock men here contend that
the industry already has made Its
post-Korea adjustment, has seen
the worst of the price declines.

to take a higher road In the months

WASHINGTON UV-Members of
the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee seemed worried today that
the United States may be forced
to decide soon between more di
rect Intervention in Indochina and
possible loss of vital Southeast
Asia to Communism.
The committee heard Secretary
of State Dulles say yesterday that
Red China is giving the Vletmlnh
combat belp in the furious battle
with French Union forces.
He said Chinese Communist anti
aircraft gunners have been shoot
ing down French planes, that a
high-ranking Chinese Red General
and a group of "technicians" are
at the front and that in other
ways the Chinese are "coming
awful close" to a new aggression
which he has warned might force
American retaliation.
But commttee members, after
questioning Dulles in public and
secret session, said they were still
in the dark about any specific
plans this country may have for
countering a Red Chinese threat
in Indochina. He. has called for

as urged by Mitchell in a letter to
Paul Zlffren, California Democrat
ic national committeeman.
In a statement recited without
notes, Roosevelt said acceptance
of Mitchell's suggestion would
open the door to political black
mail against every controversial
political figure and would result
in McCarthy-type smears which
can only violate the fundamental
American principle that a man is

been spelled pot.'-.-' '-.
Just last night, it was reported
that the administration is prepar
ing a united action with America's
Pacific allies to throw a stein
warning at Communist aggressors
in Jndochina.
Dulles 'appeared before the com
mittee yesterday to open the Elsen
hower administration's fight for
Jl'2 billion dollars in foreign aid for
the year that starts July 1.
He was to be followed today by
foreign aid chief Harold E. Stasseu.
Rep. Lawrence H. Smith (R-Wis)
said he is against sending U. S.
forces to Indochina, . but that
"we've got to decide within 60 days
whether to send them."
Rep. Judd (R-Minn) said that if
the French are defeated, the Unit
ed States must decide whether to
"abandon Indochina and lose
Southeast Asia or intervene with
troops."
Dulles told the Foreign Affairs
Committee that the United States
has made no commitments to send
aimed forces to Indochina. Pressed
by newsmen later on whether this
statement was intended to fore
close such a commitment in the
future, he said: "I had better nut
comment."
Rep. Morano (R-Conn) said one
arm of Dulles' recent speeches
warning against further Red en
croachments was "to bluil uie
