Lodge Assails Red China In Speech TodayPresents 13 Facts To Show Regime Is Unfit To Join U. N. CHICAGO (UP) — Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., chief United States representative at the United Nations, today presented “13 facts” to show why “the Chinese Communist regime is wholly unfit" for U. N. membership. His charges were billed as the most comprehensive bill of particulars yet levelled at the Chinese Communists by a U. S. representative in opposition to Chinese admission to the U. N. He promised the U. S. would “steadfastly resist all maneuvers” by the Communist regime to "bribe its way” ipto the U. N. Lodge, speaking before the Inland Daily Press Assn., also accused the Communists of “direct’’ aggression in Korea, “concealed” aggression in Indochina, and "internal” aggression against the Chinese people. He said the charges prove “the Peiping regime is not the government of China but is an agency of a world-wide Communist movement.” Lodge also charged that the Chinese Communists: “Have sacrificed China's interests to those of the Kremlin." Have "shocked world' opinion by their barbarous treatment of foreign nationals," including about 32 Americans now in Chinese jails. “Have made particularly brutal attacks on members of religious ard missionary organizations, who have been accused of spying, stealing. murdering orphans and other ludicrous activities.” Have “willfully and knowingly” made false germ warfare charges against the U. S. Have "perpetrated a diabolical, I perverted scientific plan in an es-

Navy Blimp Heads For World Record Heads For Mark Os 200 Hours In Air KEY WEST, Fla. UP — A, navy sub-hunting blimp which already has broken the world record for continued flight by airships soared over the Atlantic today toward a new record of 200 hours in the air. The 342-foot Nan, buoyed by one million cubic feet of helium, and the 12 persons aboard at about 2:35 p.m. EDT will finish the. new endurance test for men and the blimp after 8 1-3 days. The Nan at about 8:36 ajn. EDT Monday broke the old record of 170.3 hours aloft with a similar type of blimp ZPG2 set in 1947, and the crew radioed that both men and the blimp were bolding out well. “The purpose es the flight was to ' test the endurance of the blimp and also of the crew.” a Marine spokesman at 'Key West said. “The navy wanted to know if the erew could along together in the air for long periods of time.” . In a radio-telephone interview, the blimp's skipper. Comdr. Marion H. Eppes, said "living conditions were good” and the only complaint of the men was a shortage of fresh water with which to wash themselves. Aboard with (Eppes were three ofGcers, seven enlisted men and a representative of the Goodyear Rubber Co.

Consider Training Os Native Troops American Military Officers May Help WASHINGTON, UP—The United States and France are discussing the possibility of using American military officers and technicians to. halt train native forces for the war in Indochina, administration sources reported today. Informants said the idea of increasing the native training program, perhaps with American help, was reviewed within the past week by Maj. Gen. John W. (Iron Mike) O’Daniel and Gen. Paul Ely, French Chief of staff, who made an emergency survey trip to Indochina. O'Daniel is head of the U.S. military assistance advisory group in Indochina. France in the past has refused’ to accept large-scale American help in training native troops. But the French might agree to change their previous stand if the United States is successful in lining up support for a collective action program to defend Southeast Asia against Communist aggression. Informed sources said the slowmoving project has been picking up steam since Britain has shown new signs of interest in vieiv of the east-west deadlock at the Geneva conference. Meanwhile, -state and defense department officials headed by secretary of state John Foster Dulles asked, a bipartisan group of representatives to give them authority to Spend foreign aid funds in Southeast Asia next year wherever they can be used most effectively. Chairman John Taber (R-NY) of the house appropriations committee said the administration “doesn't want us to tie its hande by earmarking specific sums for specific countries in that area since they say they don't know at this moment where they might want to use it.” The administration has asked for about L-billion dollars to finance the anti-Communist fight in Indochina in the year beginning July 1. Under the present bill, five-sixths of this would be handled through France. Firemen Called As Motor Is Overheated =r* A ventilator motor in the attic of Decatur high school building overheated Monday night after failure of an automatic switch and firemen were, called at Iff p.m. W. Guy Brown, superintendent of Decatur schqpls, said that no damage was done to the building and damage to the motor itself was slight.

Sen. Humphrey Blasts G.O.P. Dairy Policy Secretary Benson Admits Department Plan Is Abandoned WASHINGTON, UP—Rep. Clifford R. Hope indicated today that congress may take over the job of trying to get government-owned surplus butter to American housewit es at low prices. Agriculture secretary Ezra T. Benson admitted at a new’s conference late Monday that his department has "reluctantly” abandoned the idea for the present because it would probably cost “500 million dollars and in large degree fail.” But Hope (R-Kan.) told newsmen his house agriculture committee “probably will give consideration” to *all butter disposal plaitSi which the department""hds studied and discarded. He said he expects the matter will be taken up when the committee considers commodity disposal programs in writing its general farm bill. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (DMinn.) meanwhile blasted the administration’s whole dairy policy in a blistering speech prepared for delivery in the senate today. He charged that Benson’s filladvised plan'’ of cutting price supports to solve the butter surplus is pushing farmers "down the slide to bankruptcy.” Benson has failed to solve the problem, he said, “and now he is willing to dump butter at bargain prices to the rest of the world but unwilling to give American consumers' a similar break.” Benson said the only “real answer” to the dairy surplus problem seems to be to push consumption of butter through regular marketing channels, consumer education and encouraging farmers to get rid of less efficient cows. He said experts figure any of the disposal programs that' have been under consideration —including a plant payment subsidy program— would cost the government at least 500 million dollars. Even with such losses, he added, it is doubtful that the project would accomplish the purpose of reducing surplus butter stocks. «• He said sales or donations of government butter on domestic markets “will almost immediately replace” current production and mean the government would have to buy more butter under support operations. The department will continue to study disposal plans as long as big. stocks exist, Benson reported. But he said “at the present time there will be no disposal program as we talked of earlier.” Protest Registered WATERBURY, Conn., UP — Police handed out so many parking tickets that the wheels of justice were clogged.

The other was headed “typical authorized absences of an average trainee undergoining training cycle while assigned to Company K, 47th infantry regiment (Schine’s company) for the period 3 November 1953 to 16 January, 1954.” On Schine’s calendar, there was a black mark on each day on which a pass was issued. Two heavy lines were used on the other chart to designate -passes received by the “average trainee.” There also were notations on Schine’s chart where telephone calls were made by Schine, Roy M. Cohn, the McCarthy subcommittee’s chief counsel, or other members of the McCarthy staff. No record of telephone calls was on the other chart. McCarthy called It the “most dishonest, phony chart-making I ever saw.” He said the heavy “black marks” on Schine’s chart were made deliberately to "create
