Demand Russians Protect Property WASHINGTON, UP 4 The United States has demanded that Russia protect American property in Soviet Zones of Germany or be held “answerable for this requiting damage,” the state department disclosed today. . r \The demand wag made in two notes to Moscow, ope delivered almost a year ago and the other Friday. The notes 1-were made public today along with a Russian - reply dated May 23, 1952, rejecting, the first U. S. demand. Byrd’s Stand Matter Os Senate Principle No Embarrassment Intended For Ike WASHINGTON UP 4 The last filing Sen. Harry F. Byrjl intended he put the law on Charles IE. Wilson’s designation as defense secretary was to embarrass the Eisenhower administration. I With the Virginia Democrat, it ras a matter of /principle and a natter 6f avoiding embarrassment or the\ incoming Republicans, as rell. Byrd told the United Press he aw trouble comipg and sent word df the law to Mr. Eisenhower’s headquarters the day before Wilson was first questioned by the senate armed services committee week. His word was that under the law the resigned General Motors president should not he confirmed unless he sold his 12,700,009 of GM stock. J Wilson appeared on schedule but firmly said he was not selling any stock. The dispute was i on. Byrd laid on the committee table that day a digest of the laws which he believed made it necessary for Wilson to sell the stock before entering the cabinet. A lot of senators of both parties -4-apparOntly an easy majority— up behind Byrd’s position. Wilson hacked down and announc ed Thursday night that he would divest himself of the GM stock. But there are no hard feelings between Wilson and Byrd- In fact, they huddled privately Afor twe hours Wednesday. And ?Wr. Eisen hower also understands the sena tor’s position. "Please remember," tohi the United Presft today; “that 1 didn’t support. Gov. Stevenson lasi fall. I am most friendly: to this administration. I want to see President Eisenhower succeed, "I also have responsibilities as a senator, and I’m not going tc be a rubber stamp.” :Byrd said felt his objection on legal grounds to Wilson’s <jpnfirmation would be beneficial tc the administration Much better, he than s hurry-up confirmation which would lead, in time, to a great public dproar. I ' It is a matter of principle and political philosophy with f . Byrd. The senator helped prevent Edwin W. of California becoming undersecretary of navy. He felt there was a conflict of interest between Pauley’s ■ oil interests and the navy’s oil Interests. He eaid he will be “very glad” now to vote for his confirmation-since he is getting rid of that stock. . \

Congressional Farm i' Heads Back Benson Moves To Reorganize Department Favored > WASHINGTON UP—Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson got quick approval from congressional farm leaders today tor his moves to reorganize his department, which he said had “swollen into ia. huge bureaucracy” under the Democrats.» Sen. George D. Aiken said he ' thought the'administrative regrouping announced by Benson Thursday —only two hours after he arrived' at Jiis new desfc — will “make work easier for him ” a .1 The Vermont Republican, who lieads the senate agriculture committee; said hh saw ho reason for the shifts, hs such, to affect existing programs. Clifford R. Hope R-Kan., chairman of the house agriculture committee, said he thinks the separation of the agriculture conservation program from the production and marketing administration "is a wise step.” \ Mbfit significant in Benson’s first “gradual streamlining” step is. the rembval of th£ conservation payment program from PMA and the apparent nearly Complete separation of the commodity ■ credit corporation from the" PMA. Both moves will stgip some of the authority the powerful PMA had under the Democrats. But as ybt jobs have been abolished. Previously the as a banker for PMA price support operations with the seven-mand board of of the CCG all holding top PMA jobs. Under Benson, a spokesman* indicated, CCC will make,the policy decisions and PMA will “administer them." f I ! Except for CCG President John H- Davis and Evenson, who is automatically a member, the numbers of the CCC board are yet to tye picked. The plan also put the 20 depart- ' ment agencies into z groups With ' agency heads reporting to one of four of Benson’s top appointees. 1 Benson asked for “strict adherence . to the lines of authority” in a ’ memo to agency chiefs.
