Dulles To Give Report Tuesday On Policies To Discuss Far East Policies At Parley With Congressmen WASHINGTON, UP —Secretary of state John Foster Dulles will give Republican and Democratic congressional leaders an up-to-the minute report Tuesday on the administration’s Far East policy,. Plans for the private meeting were announced by a state department spokesman amid a rising clamor of Democratic demands for an administration "explanation” of Vice President Richard M. Nixon’s controversial statement that U, S. troops may be sent into the Indochina war if the French pull out. The state department said Dulles, who flew to Augusta. Ga., today to report to President Eisenhower, also planned meetings Tuesday with several foreign ambassadors. It appeared inevitable that the furor over Nixon's statement would figure in the meeting with congressional leaders. Democrats have been demanding to know whether Nixon epoke for the administration. Republican congressmen generally backed away from the Idea of committing U. S. forces to Indochina. and stressed Nixon's statement that he considered it highly unlikely that France would pull out. Dulles declined in Washington Sunday to comment on the Nixon remarks. He said be had not read about Nixon’s speech and had been “out of touch” with all foreign policy problems for several days. Dulles flew to Augusta specifically for these reasons: 1. To discuss his recent, speedy trip ..to. London and Paris, where he tried to lay the foundation for a 10-nation defense jlact in southeastern section of Asia. Southeast Asia Includes Indochina where French forces are fighting for existence against Communist trpops, 2. Confer on plans for a NATO meeting in Paris. , 3. To make plans for the Far Eastern peace conference opening April 26 in Geneva. Democrat Want Ads Bring Results ‘lS*’* A. ... ■> ... '.«&

South Koreans Will Attend Conference Send Delegates To Geneva Conference SEOUL, Korea UP — President Syngman Rhee agreed today to send South Korean delegates to the Geneva conference but predlctd the April 26 parley would prove the uselessness of trying to deal with the Reds. The South Korean President said that war and not words was the only language the Chinese Communist understands but voiced hope that his divided country would be united peacefully. Rhee has said before he would never agree to a coalition government with the Communists and apparently he would settle only for removal of North Korean Premier Kim 11 Sung’s Red government and incorporation of all Korea under the ROK flag. “It must be a unification under full democratic auspices, and it must include the complete withdrawal from our soil of all Chinese Communist forces,” he said. •Rhee, who received a letter from President Eisenhower Sunday, said he had been given detailed assurances from the United States that South Korea’s views would be respected at Geneva. Rhee did not disclose the contents of Mr. Eisenhower’s letter but believed that the message contained an outline of American policy that was satisfactory to Korea. SOMBER WARNING ~ (CeatlnweS From Page One) Moscow where the official radio spoke of preparations for Easter church services. But the emphasis on Most Communist broadcasts was on soccer tournaments a'nd other sports events. Britain’s leading churchmen joined with the Pope in warning against the perils of the hydrogen bomb. The nation's two leading prelates, the archbishops of Canterbury and York, mentioned it in their Easter sermons as did Bernard Cardinal Griffin, the country’s leading Catholic archbishop. American evangelist Billy Graham, past the halfway point in his London crusade, spent a quiet Sunday as usual but said the evening prayer in Westminster Central Hall, London’s largest Methodist church.

Ike's Program Faces Trouble From Congress Leaders Os Senate And House Review Work Os Congress WOSHINGTON UP — Congress swung into the second half of the 1954 session today with some of President Eisenhower's programs obviously in trouble. Senate Republican leader William K. 'Knowland and house GOP leader Charles A. Halleck issued a halftime statement reviewing the work done so far and promising completion pt a 10-point program before congress adjourns. Vice President Richard M. Nixon said the 1954 session will be the "greatest ever." House speaker Joiseph Martin Jr., predicted it will be the best he's seen in 29 years. But Rep. - Charles R. Howell (DN.J.) said Sunday night that Mr. Eisenhower's program “has hardly gotten off the ground.” Os 214 presidential recommendations, he said, five had become law, one had been rejected, and 60 had been passed by only one house. Congress has completed action on only one of the 10 points mentioned by Knowland and Halleck—a bill authorizing nearly a billion dollars a year in federal aid for highways. Their statement significantly did not make any promises an some of Mr. Eisenhower's recommendtions, indicating the future of these is in considerable doubt. For example: 1. The leaders promised “legislation for a healthy agriculture” but did not say congress would accept Mr. Eisenhower's program of flexible price supports. 2. They predicted passage of bills to provide "more hospitals and tret ter public health facilities” but did not mention, the administration reinsurance plan to encourage private health insurance programs to provide expanded services. 3. The leadership did not mention Mr. Eisenhower's proposed legislation to encourage foreign trade, although they expect at least an extension of the reciprocal trade law. 4. The statement also was silent on Mr. Eisenhower'S requests for higher postal rates, for a constitutional amendment permitting 18-year-olds to vote and for statehood for Hawaii. SUMNER PIKE (Continued From I’aae One) Oppenheimer has said he originally opposed development of the H-bomb but that he dropped his Opposition when former President Truman ordered its construction in 1959. He has also denied he ever was a member of the Communist party. When the presidential go-ahead on the H-bomh came, Pike said Oppenheimer did a gdod deal of work on a highly scientific nature on the project. “I think Oppenheimer is a first class man and I would go his bond for any amout,” he said in a television interview.
