Clark. U. N. Far Cast commander,
said last week:
“We plan to interview these men
and espiain fully their rights and
privileges as American cituens.
“If 1 could communicate with
these men at this time, 1 would
remind them of the American tra
dition of freedom--the freedom for
which they fought before their cap
ture.
“I would assure them of our
sympathy for the hardships they
have suffered, our understanding
of the pressures to which they
have been subjected . . .**
Hamblen aaid at a news con
ference last week: “We are not
going lo give any wild promises of
immunity. We will assume all men
innocent unless proved guilty '*

More than a week ago. Burchett
Indicated some American airmen

Opposing Views On Tax Cots

on whether taxes ran bo cut with

"This is no time to drop our
guard,” said Sen. Hunt (D-Wyol,
a member of toe Senate Armed
Services Committee He pictured
toe Eisenhower administration as
pinched between "golden campaign ' 1

responsibility to keep tho nation

But Son Williams < R Deli, a
member of too tax-writing Senate
Finance Committee said he be
Itevet that, barring an unforeseen
emergency, taxes can be lowered
and the budget balanced without
endangering national defense.
They expressed their views In
separate interviews against toe

Security Council. The top strategy
group, without disclosing any de
cisions. discussed defense plana in
the light of Russia a recent claim,
of mastery over the dread hydro
gen bomb.
While no information about the
meeting was released, it became
known that tho Hbomb—ooce wide
ly considered technically impossi

that any nation could quickly pro
duce an arsenal of them.
Until recently, the iuppoition
has been that no hydrogen bomb
could bo act off without the un
earthly beat of an atomic bomb
to trigger it But American bomb
makers are nqw said to be work
ing on anew technique which does
away with such a requirement
No details, of course, could be
disclosed. However, it was under

considered in early atomic work

ably are available to Russia and
other nations.
