However, Uie President told his news conlerence he still doea not believe this country should start a war. Instead, he declared, Uie United Stales should keep Ita military re serve highly mobilo, ready to niovo to any 'point of danger, and to continue waging Uie attack on communism on a world-wide front with Intellectual, economic and spiritual weapons as well as mil itary ones. SERIOUS SITUATION Tho I'rcmuunt said this country certaluly la In a truly aerlous situ auon, alUiough he declined to ac cept a quenllonor'a suggestion Uiat II was In greater danger than ever beioro ui history. the greatest danger, Elsenhower said, la Uie possibility thai Amer icans will look only at single con flicts and Isolated battle at var ious placea In the world, whereas the danger I world-wide and may last for 40 years regardless of Uie outcome of Individual cliuhcs. He added It 1 his belief Uiat Uie count ry 'a national security pro gram la Uie right one but ne could ohange hla mind any minute. And he certainly would change his mind, he aald with emphasis. If the evidence were brought to him that he was wrong. Tho President told a questioner Uiat a of Uie moment he ha no plan to ask Congress for power to lake any action In Indochina outaldo of the normal traditional processes of government opera tion. INVOLVEMENT Involvement of American tronpa or oUier force lit Uia lndochuia War wa not mentioned In those worda In the exchange. But that idea was plainly Im plicit when a reporter aaked if rt would be feasible to let Congress adjourn this summer without vot ing Uie President power to act In Indochina If Uiat ahould be neces sary while the lawmakers are out of Washington. Eisenhower ga' his reply that he has no plan lor any such re quest at Una time. Then he added Uiat the question cannot be answered now. If such a tlnng would become necessary, he went on. It would come up on the crest of some crisis, and then It would be necessary to lay the problem beioro Congress. The questioning was tnucnrn oil with an inquiry whcUier Elsenhow er, aa a former Army commander, believed that outside naval and air assistance would help uie French Union forces In Indochina, FRENCH DIFFICULTIES Elsenhower aald: The French and Vietnamese troops havo had a most difficult task in holding a vast are on a defensive basis. They did not wish to mount major attack In an effort to destroy uie enemy, because in so doing they would lay waste Uielr own peoples. A.i a result, Uie Communist forces could choose Uie times and places of assault. It waa difficult for the defensive commanders to be strong enough at till Uie placea all uie time, to cope with the Red thrusts. Further, Uie French faced an eluslvo en emy which had no large troop concentrations up to the recent battle for Uie fort of Dlen Blen Phu. Senate Committee Approves Eisenhower Tax Cut Bill WASHINGTON ifl Senate Fi nance Committee action giving President Elsenhower Just about what he asked for In tax changes today dimmed the prospects of victory for a Democratic-planned floor fight to tack on an Income tax cut. Finishing Its work on the 87S- pago tax revision bill last night after alx weeks of nccrot delibera tions, tho group accepted nearly all of tho bcnofll for corporations and Individuals aouglit by tho ad ministration, Thrso would amount to about (1,400,000,000 In tax cuts In the first year. Democrat on the committee did not even offer their proposal far a big reduction In personal Income taxes by a boost In exemptions. It had become obvious the com mittee would reject such a move. Their failure to win committee support threw cold water on any hope for a gouoral Income tax reduction In Uie revision bill, for the Senate rarely upsets tho Fi nance Comnilttco on tax legisla tion. Nonetheless, tho senior , Demo cratic commtUca member, Frear of Delaware, told newsmen they planned to fight the issuo out on the Senate floor.

Mc Carthy (R-Wlsi swore Thursday that Army Counselor John G. Adams tried to blackmail him out of calling Army loyalty board members before him lor question ing about communism, "graft and corruption." McCarthy aald Adams used "a combination of salesmanship and threats" in a three hour talk at McCarthy's Washington apartment on the night of last Jan. 22. And, McCarthy aald, Adams made It "very, very clear" that If the investigation were not called off an unfavorable report about Roy M. Cohn, .chief counsel to the McCarthy subcommittee, would be made public. At Uiat time, McCarthy said, "they had not thought up" the charges subsequently filed against McCarthy, Cohn and Francis P. Cair, staff director for the aub- cominittee. - .. "I told him we Just would not be blackmailed." McCartny swore. In KWllt recital of his relations with Secretary of the Army Stev ens and Adams, McCarthy also testified: 1. Stevens and Adams sought to divert bis subcommittee from Its investigation of Reds In Uie Army and suggested to him at a Nov. 8 Pentagon luncheon that "there must be" Communist infiltration of uie Air Force and Uie Navy which the subcommittee could in vestigate. 2. As early as last September, he urged Stevens to "lean over backwards" against giving any special conslderaUon to O. David Sclilne, wealthy young consultant to Uie McCarthy subcommittee who luccd prospective drafting in to the Army. 3. Stevens, in his presence, asked Schtne to pose with Stevens for a photograph St McGuire Air Force Base last fall. Stevens has testified he does not believe he proposed Uie1 picture that he certainly had no recollection of it. 4. In his opinion, Uie Army took reprisals against MaJ. Gen. Kirke B. Lawlon because Lawton coop- erated with McCarthy's investiga tions subcommittee. McCarthy said he believes Lawton, commander of Ft. Monmouth. N. J., failed to get a promotion to uie permanent rank of major general because of such cooperation. McCarthy contended it was his committee's efforts to go behind uie scenes In the Pentagon and find out who was "coddling" Com munists Uiat led to the filing of charges against him and Bis com mittee staff. "I think, that is responsible for the hearings here today," be de clared. McCarthy said , he also thought i pan" in preparation of the BACK ON STAND is Roy Cohn, chief counsel for the Senate investigating subcom mittee recalled to the wit ness stand at the Army-McCarthy hearings, leans for ward to speak to a reporter as he began testimony.

Dulles Urges 3 "H , jJ J' v Security Action In Asia SEATTLE. Wash. Mt . Secre tary of . state Dulles Thursday re jected British -and French argu ments that the united Nations should not act on Indochina while peace negotiations with the Com munists are under way at Geneva. He appealed in effect for speedy action by the U.N. Security Coun cil to send a peace observation commission to Southeast Asia, as serting that "knowledge has never yet been an impedment to honest negotiation.". Dulles did not mention Britain and France by name but U. S. diplomats In Washington said those nations have been .the principal source of arguments which Dulles said have "little validity." In a speech prepared for the International Rotary convention here, Dulles discussed major top ics of American foreign policy with emphasis on these points: 1. Today there is perhaps too much dlference between the mem- bera of the non-Communist world." Dulles deplored the lack of unity but said it is probably Inevitable in the development of common policies among free nations. He presumably reforred to differences about acUon to save Indochina from Communist control, w""- """and ? "J, JSSSSZ. ,'S! "there may have to be a basic shift in united state policy" un- Army's "false charges" was due to his Insistence on finding out who was responsible for the hon orable discharge Feb. 1 of MaJ. Irving Peress, an Army dentist described by McCarthy as'a tilth amendment Communist." Peress declined last winter to answer questions from McCarthy, invoking the fifth amendment's protection against forcing a wit ness to give testimony against himself. McCarthy served notice that once the current hearings are out of the way he Intends to get army loyalty board members before him. Bay H. Jenkins, special counsel to the Senate investigations sub committee, completed direct ex amination of McCarthy Just before the subcommittee recessed for lunch. Under the established procedure, Jenkins will cross-examine him i before. nuanbers'bT. the ..subcom mittee and Army counsel get op portunity to ask questions. Both Stevens and Adams, also under oath, have denied they tried to divert the subcommittee to in vestigation of the Navy and Air Force. Army. Counsel Joseph N. Welch listened with his head cocked at tentively to McCarthy's testimony. He seemed to have thrust aside any emotional hangover from his clash Wednesday with the senator.

Speedy U.N. less the nations there promptly complete organisation of the Eu ropean Defense Community. He noted specifically that France and Italy so far have failed to ratify uie treaty under which a Western European army. Including German forces, would be established. Sharply Dulles declared: "The time for unity is fast running out." 3. The first condition must be fulfilled prior to possible Ameri can intervention in the fight against communism in Southeast Asia is the grant of complete In dependence by France to the na tive states of Indochina. Dulles as serted, "The United States will never fight tor colonialism." 4. Regarding the development of Communist Influence in uie Cen tral American republic of Guate mala, Dulles expressed hope that the organisation of American states will "help Uie people of Guate mala to rid themselves of the ma lignant force which has seized on them." He said that if the Guate malans do not succeed in this ef fort the whole American organiza tion "may be corrupted." 6. Regarding the United States' attitude toward the rest of . the world, Dulles disavowed 'any' as sumption "that we have any man date to run the world." He said "none need fear that we shall de velop an unhealthy lust for pow er." i Eden Urges Move To End Deadlock By EDDY GILMORE GENEVA WI British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden called on the Indochina peace conference Thursday to narrow East-West differences without delay or admit failure. The British diplomat declared the differences are both wide and deep, but he said his delegation Is "still willing to attempt to re solve them." "But If Uie positions remain a they are today." he ald, "then It Is our clear duty to aay so to uie world, and to admit that wa have failed." Eden spoke at a semi-public ses sion of the nine-party Indochina conference. Despite his avowed willingness to make further effort . to reach a cease-fire, he left no doubt that he considered the out- looa grim. He said the past two days of debate bad deepened the differences between the West and ine communists. "I say this with Infinite rearet he added, "but It Is our stern duty kj jace realities. ... BASIC ISSUES He stated uiat there were deen and wide differences on the basio Issues of supervising a cease-fire and of handling the problem of Laos and Cambodia, two of the associated states of Indochina. Eden firmly rejected the Com. munist proposal Uiat the Indochina ceasefire be supervised by a four nation commission, made up - of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Sweden and Switzerland. ,-. "I am convinced," he said, that a group of four powers, two supporting uie views of either side, can only lead to deadlock. My rea son for refusing to accept such a proposal is not Ideological. It la simply that it wouldn't work." , He repeated hi own proposal that the supervisory body be made MP of the five Asian countries which recently took part In the conference at Colombo, Ceylon. These were India, Pakistan, Cey lon, Bum and Indonesia. Theee countries, he said, "would form a Just and impartial commission." INVASION CHARGED Eden backed Uie contentions of Laos and Cambodia that there Is no civil war In their countries, but that they have been Invaded by Communist-led Vtetminh forces.

M. Molotov Uie previous day were aimed at the United States. The Chinese leader declared U.S. policy waa "designed to extend the war in Indochina and to prevent the Geneva conference from reaching agreement." , ' "The policy of Uie United States," he declared, "Is seriously blocking Uie way to progress of the Geneva conference." U.S. Under Secretary of State Walter Bedell Smith replied that he was keenly disappointed by .the "uneonstrucUve" statements of Molotov and Chou. . , Police Shoot Bear In Town WALLACE.
