Herter Opposed To Foreign Aid Cuts

WASHINGTON iUPI> - Another top-level administration official went before the House Foreign Affairs Committee today to reinforce President Eisenhower’s warning that any reduction in foreign aid would weaken the U. S. defense posture. Douglas Dillon, undersecretary of state for economic affairs, was called to testify on the heels of Acting Secretary of State Chris- - tian A. Herter. Herter told the committee Monday that severe reductions in the $3,929,995.0000 Orequest by the President would be "very short-sight-ed” and could render U. S. foreign policy “ineffective." Some congressional Democrats have indicated they would like to trim the President's requested program by one billion dollars. Eisenhower took his battle for extension of the Mutual Security Act to the American people' Monday night over radio and televi sion. He said" there is “no better means of showing our resolution, our firmness, and our understanding of the Communist challenge than to support this program in full measure." He also said "any misguided effort to reduce them below what 1 have recommended weakens the sentries of freedom wherever thy stand.” Other congressional news: Rackets: The Senate Rackets Committee called in the offices of the Dearborn Insurance Co., of Chicago, for questioning about their dealings with union officials. Chief Counsel Robert F. Kennedysaid the committee would inquire into whether the company was organized in 1949 to act as broker on various Chicago union welfare funds. ' Defense: Sen. Styles Bridges • R-N.HJ, top-ranking GOP member of the Senate preparedness subcommittee, proposed that the United States key its defenses to a triple-threat weapon involving mobile and strongly fortified missile systems. He said certain intermediate range missiles could be made mobile by use in submarines and railroad flat cars, and otter “hard” sites could be built underground for ICBM's. Jobless: The House passed by an overwhelming voice, vote a bill

to prevent an estimated 45,00000 jobless persons from losing unemployment compensation on April 1. The measure, expected to win quick Senate approval, provided a three-month extension of a federal program of extended unemployment benefits enacted during last year’s recession. Taxes: The House approved by voice vote a bill to grant a tax break to self-employed persons saving for their old age. The bill would allow the self-employed to postpone until age 65 the payment of taxes on up to 10 per cent of their annual income, if the money were placed in a retirement fund. The measure was opposed by the Treasury Department because it would cut tax revenues 365 million dollars a year. Farm: American Farm Bureau Federation officials told a House agriculture subcommittee studying wheat legislation that unless wheat price supports are reduced soon “the entire farm program is going to be discredited in the eyes of the public.” They said federal wheat price supports still are high enough to encourage over-production even though cutto the legal floor. New wheat legislation, they said, should reduce pice guarantees and aim at wiping out federal production controls. Space: An aviation executive told the House Space Committee a great deal of thought was being given to a missile whose booster stage-would return to the launching site. S. K. Hoffman, a vice president of North American Aviation, said this would pemit the booster vehicle in a multi-stage rocket to be refueled and used again. Offenders: The House passed and sent to the Senate legislation making it easier to prosecute persons who commit offenses against the government while they are abroad. The bill would make certain that the statute of limitations would not bar prosecution upon return to this county for offenders who remain abroad for considerable periods.

Defected Red Secret Agent Bared Lives WASHINGTON (UPD — The House Committee 'on Unamerican Activities says a top Soviet secret service agent who defected five years ago gave the West an intimate view of Kremlin leaders and their private lives. i The defector was identified as Petr Sergeyevi Deriabin, onetime No. 3 man in the “Okhrana,” the ultra .hush-hush secret police responsible for guarding Soviet leaders. Deriabin is reported hiding somewhere in the United States.* But the committee won’t say where because of the danger of| possible retaliation by Soviet agents. The committee also wouldn’t divulge when Deriabin testified. Committee Chairman Francis E. Walter (D-Pa.l said only he and staff director Richard Arens were, present during the testimony, which was made public Monday night. Highest-Ranking Defector Walter described Deriabin as the highest-ranking Soviet official! ever to defect to the West. He | said Deriabin has been “assisting | certain agencies of the government of the United States.” State Department sources said the defector asked for and was granted political asylum in the United States after crossing the Iron Curtain in to Austria in February 1954. He now is working toward U.S. citizenship. Deriabin testified that the late Josef Stalin and current Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev as well as other top Soviet leaders lived better than American millionaires. Os Stalin’s son, Vasili, the former Soviet agent said: “He was actually an alcoholic and a thor-oughly-corrupted individual’ ’ who threw loud parties with prostitutes. ; Banka Money In U.S. The former Soviet agent also: —Named Red agents who accompanied Russian ex ch an g e groups to the U.S. such as the Moiseyev dancers which drew rave reviews from American music critics.

Gives Birth To Baby While Watching TV LOS ANGELES <UPI) — A 38-year-old woman says she gave; birth to her fifth child on a couch' |in her living room because she | was watching a movie on televiIsion and didn't want to miss the end. I Mrs. Virginia Smith, wife of a carpenter, said, “It was a good movie and I didn’t want to turn it off. • ’ “I feel fine now, although I had a few uneasy moments. I’ll have all my children that way." Mrs. Smith explained Monday that she hadn’t called a doctor when she felt the beginning of labor pains. , _ • 1 “They gave me too much anesthesia in the hospital for one of my deliveries so I decided to have the baby at home,” she said. She said she yelled for her husband, James, a little after 1 a.m, Saturday when she felt the labor pains starting, but he was asleep ■ in the next room. She finally awakened him by pounding on the wall. Mrs. Smith said she continued the old movie “Lucky ! Nick Cain” starring George Raft to its conclusion. Hartke Introduces : Vet's Pension Bill ’ WASHINGTON (UPD — Se ft - Vance Hartke (D-lnd.) has introduced legislation to give World War I veterans pensions of liw . a month. — Hartke said in a statement , World War I veterans are the “for- - gotten men of our country. The legislation would be similar to the Spanish-American War pension

Triple-Threat Defense Plans ( Urged By Solon • • < WASHINGTON (UPD — Sen. Styles Bridges proposed today that the United States key its defenses to a triple-threat “ultimate 1 weapon” involving mobile and 1 wrongly fortified missile systems. ’ The New Hampshire Republican 1 said he believes the Senate pre- 1 paredness subcommittee, of which i he is a top ranking GOP member, , may make similar recommendations. i His statement followed testimony by Adm. Arleigh A. Burke, chief of naval operations, that a continued worsening of the Berlin crisis might require moves "within a month” to strengthen the armed services. Burke said, however, that U.S. defenses are adequate for the present. He said the United States has the power to destroy Russia and will have that power fora year or more. Bridges based his proposal for * an ■ “ultimate” defense on the Navy’s submarine - fired Polaris and the Air Force’s Minuteman i missiles —both still under developI ment — and the Atlas and Titan i intercontinental ballistic missiles. He said both the Poljaris and the Minuteman could be made (mobile—the Polaris in submarines cruising beneath the seas and the Minuteman on railroad flat cars. In addition, he said, “hard” sites fortified and underground, could be provided for the Atlas and Titan. “If we had all three, we’d have an ultimate weapon,” Bridges declared. He said he believes such a weapon is needed “so that no matter how successful a Russian attack might be, we could still come back and wipe them out.” Bridges conceded such a missile program might add to net defense costs. But he pointed out six Polaris submarines are now under construction and that funds have been appropriated for the Minuteman missile. fit would mean more money for ‘hard’ sites,” he said. “And I’m willing to take something else out of the budget to provide for -this.” Jobless Pay Measure Approved By House WASHINGTON (UPD - Signs pointed today to swift Senate endorsement of a House - approved bill to allow 405,000 jobless persons to remain on unemployment compensation rolls until July 1. The Senate Finance Committee called a meeting for Friday on. the beasure which the House j passed by overwhelming voice vote Monday. It provides for a watered-down three-month extension of a federal program scheduled to expire April 1. Pro - labor Democrats in the House hoped that the Senate would broaden the bill, which was a drastically reduced version of an earlier Democratic plan. The revisions won support from conservative Republicans. Sen. Hugh Scott (R-Pa.) announced that he would try for a six-month extension of the current program rather than the abbreviated version approved by the House. Other attempts to beef up the program also were expected but there were no indications that they would succeed. The House measure provides for a gradual closing down of the program. It would allow extension of federally financed benefits only to those unemployed persons already receiving payments or filing valid claims by March 31.

Opposes Increase In Federal Gas Tax INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Governor Handley today sent telegrams to Indiana’s 11 congressmen and 2 senators asking them to oppose another increase in federal gasoline taxes. “I am convinced.” said Handley in the telegrams, “that the people of Indiana are opposed to another increas? in'federal’tfksdtine taxese and!that such an increase would not be needed for the federal highway program if the highway taxes collected by Washington were dedicated exclusively for the roads program as our Indiana gasoline tax is so dedicated. “Therefore, I have joined with the governors of three-fourths of the other states to ask that Congress reject the proposed federal gasoline tax increase. ! would appreciate getting your reaction to this appeal, and I hope that you will use every effort at your command to prevent the proposed increase and also to end the diversion of motorists’ taxes to other uses.” Mayor Admits Story Os Razor Attack Faked GREENSBURG, Ir,d. (UPD — Authorities today considered perjury charges against Mayor Sheldon Smith who admitted he faked a razor attack to cover his appropriation of $7,178 in city funds. Decatur County Prosecutor Richard Garvey said Smith, 41, confessed Monday night alter taking a lie detector test in Ipdianapolis state police headquarters. Smith told police he took the money to cover a loss he sustained when an unidentified man swindled him out of SB,OOO in a "pigeon drop” confidence game. The mayor originally claimed three men lured him to his. private office, where also operates an accounting service, Feb. 21 and attacked him with razor blades. He said he fainted and the assailants looted his office' of $5,000 in city court fines and $2,178 in cash bonds. ' One of Smith’s duties as mayor is to serve as city judge, handling mostly traffic cases. He also is chairman of the County Republi can Committee. Smith, married and the fathei of three children, has been mayoi , in this community of 7,000 for nine j years.

J Smith had identified two men ' i as the mysterious “J. 8..

Hollars was , released after Smith’s admission. ’ • » The other man was an tex-con-J vict who never was arrested but ' had volunteered to cooperate .with authorities in helping solve the 1 mystery, claiming he had an irbn- ’ clad alibi for the night Smith said 1 he was attacked. Smith also is a former state president of the Indiana Young Republicans. Smith’s confession came a few hours after he released a prepared statement saying he had made restitution of $7,178 which he said a State Board of Accounts audit showed was missing. “Although I personally have no legal liability, under the circumstances, for the funds, I feel a moral responsibility,” Smith said in the statement. He said he borrowed the money to make the payments.
