Dulles in Paris Urges Asia Pact;

By th» Associated Press
PARIS, July 13.—Secretary of
State Dulles arrived here today
and said he considers that a
collective defense organization
for Southeast Asia could help
France get “just and honorable
peace terms” in Indo-China. 1

Mr. Eden and Mr. Mendes- ]
France left Geneva earlier to- i
day to be on hand for the con
ference. .
Recalls Earlier Trip.
In a statement, Mr. Dulles re
called he had come to Paris last
April 13, before the Geneva Con- -J
ference started, to talk about
forming a Southwest Asian de- 1
sense pact.
At that time, he said, he felt
such an organization would help
France. "I still feel the same
way,” he added.
He went on to explain;
“The United States is not itself
a belligerent and therefore not
a proper party to many aspects
of the problem which are the
principal concern of the Geneva
conference. However, we do have
a great and continuing interest
in collective action bv France,
Great Britain, the United States
and other free countries to pro
mote the peace and freedom df
the area
“This, as well as pressing Eu
ropean problems, will, I hope, be
among the subjects of our con
versations here, which are bound
to re-emphasize to the Commu
nists the futility of their efforts
to divide us.”
France Made Appeal.
The reference to European
problems indicated Mr. Dulies
expects to discuss plans for the
six-nation European army which
France has delayed placing be
fore its Parliament for ratifica
tion.
Mr. Dulles’ flight here was in
answer to an urgent appeal from
Mr. Mendes-France. On leaving
Washington last night the Amer
ican Secretary of State empha
sized that Paris was his Diesent
destination.
At conferences this afternoon
and tonight, Mr. Mendes-France
and Mr. Eden will outline the
prospects for an Indo-China
peace settlement in an attempt
to allay American fears that
France is ready to surrender to
the Reds at Geneva. Secretary
Dulles’ determination that the
United States should not be sad
dled with responsibility for any
such settlement resulted in his
decision that neither he nor
Undersecretary of State Walter
Bedell Smith would return to
Geneva for the final round of
negotiations.
Support for Premier.
Western diplomats at the
Geneva Conference viewed Mr.
Dulles’ trip to Paris as a
strengthener for Mr. Mendes-
France, who has only eight days
left to make good on his prom
ise to win an "honorable” Indo-
China peace from the Commu
nists by July 20 or resign.
French and British diplomats
were hopeful their bosses could

Move by Fall Seen
By th» Associated Press
LONDON, July 13. The
United States and Britain have
told Prance they agree West
Germany must be given limited
sovereignty by fall, a high diplo
matic source said today.
He said Paris has been asked
to join Washington and London
in taking this action even if
France rejects or further delays
ratification of the European De
fense Community (EDC).
M Prance refuses, a British-
American plan is reported ready,
under which control of the Amer
ican and British occupation zones
would be returned to the Ger
mans.
Political and legal experts of
the United States and Britain
have been working on these prob
lems at the foreign office for the
past week. They have proposed
their governments wind up the
American-British-Prench nigh
commission in Bonn only as a

instead and the French would

Model Alom Engine
Yields Power to Send
Sub Around World
House and Senate Told
Facts in Report Urging
New Nuclear Legislation
By Frank Carey
Associated Prats Staff Writer
The land-based model of the
world’s first nuclear submarine
engine “has already produced
more than enough power to send
an atomic submarine around the
world, fully submerged and at
full speed.”
The Senate - House Atomic
Energy Committee said so today
in a report to the Senate and
House recommending a series of
changes in the basic atomic
energy act.
The engine, a land-based
“prototype” of the atomic engine
now installed in the U. S. S.
Nautilus, is at the Atomic Energy
Commission’s testing site in east
ern Idaho.
Speaking of prospects for eco
nomic atomic power for indus
try. however, the committee said
only that such an objective "is
; on the horizon, though not with
in our immediate reach.”
Would Exchange Secrets.
The legislation which the com
i 'mittee recommended woGid gen
erally carry out President Eisen
> hower’s recommendations for
changes in the 1946 Atomic Act
[ to allow exchange of some nu
, clear secrets with allied nations
and permit industry to enter
, the atomic power field.
' The bill as a whole was unan
. imously approved by the 18-
* member committee,, but some
1 members expressed sharp dis
’ sents on some sections. The Sen
ate may begin debate on the
measure today or tomorrow.
l
i Could Transfer Materials.
1 The bill would:
1. Authorize the negotiation of
agreements with foreign nations
1 in the area of peacetime uses of
) atomic energy.
) *2. Permit the AEC to transfer
to another nation participating
3 in such an agreement atomic
. materials in quantities needed
i for the development or utiliza
tion of atomic energy for non
military and research purposes.
3. Allow transfer to another
nation, or to a regional defense
organization, secret data con
cerning the tactical employment
of atomic weapons—but not in
“ eluding any information on their
t design and fabrication.
” 4. Permit the AEC to license
1 private industry to possess and
utilize atomic materials and to
1 own atomic reactors or “fur
’ naces” designed to produce and
utilize such materials.
i, Some Voice Dissents.
The dissenters to certain sec
tions were Chairman Cole and
Representative Van Zandt, Re
publican, of Pennsylvania, who
opposed the section of the bill re
garding patents; Representatives
Holifield. Democrat, of Califor
nia, and price, Democrat, of Illi
nois, who said the bill has IS
“major” defects;” and Senator
Pastore, Democrat, of Rhode
Island, who, in a statement
signed also by Mr. Holifield and
Mr. Price, called for dealing with
groups of nations on peace time
atomic developments—instead of
with one at a time.
Mr. Holifield and Mr. Price,
in a separate statement, said,
among other things, that the
committee bill was of “question
able form and timing';” tended
to place the AEC chairman “on
a pedestal;” and would enable
the ABC “to turn this greatest

Gov. Fine Hits
Eisenhower's
Highway Plan
Calls for Conference
President and
Governor's Here
By Gould Lincoln
Star Staff Corraspondant
BOLTON LANDING. N. Y„
July 13.—A Washington meeting
of the 48 Governors with Presi
dent Eisenhower to discuss the
President’s proposal for a vast
SSO billion highway program was
urged today by Republican Gov.
John S. Fine of Pennsylvania
at the 46th annual Governors’
Conference here.
Gov. Fine coupled his sugges- ■
tion with criticism of the Pres
ident’s highway plan, which was
put before the Governors last J
night by Vice President Nixon.
The plan called for Federal- ,
State co-operati6n on building
a system of roads to meet atom
ic-age defense needs and the
transportation requirements of
a population of 200 million by
1970. >
Offers Resolution.
Gov. Fine offered a resolution
formally proposing the meeting
with the President, to take place
in late November or December.
It was referred to the Resolu
tions Commiittee of the confer
ence and will come up for action
tomorrow.
Govs. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York and G. Mennen Williams of
Michigan joined in the Fine reso
lution. Gov. Dewey also sug
gested the immediate appoint
ment of a committee, to be com
posed of Governors not up for
re-election, to go into the de
tails of the highway plan.
He said this procedure might
produce a concrete program
which the Governors could offer
to the President.
Concern Is Voiced.
Voicing the concern felt by
some of the Governors that the
program would kill hopes of
ending Federal gasoline taxes,
Gov. Fine said:
“We want the Federal Govern
ment to get out of the gasoline
and fuel oil tax field for once
and for all and now is the time
to do it before we I embark on
any large-scale highway pro
gram such as the President has
suggested.”
Gov. Fine said a Washington
■ meeting with the President was
; essential if the Governors are to
, know all the details of the multi
. billion-dollar plan.
“An invitation has been ex
tended to us to meet with some
. one,” said Gov. Fine, “and I
. believe we should accept it.”
! Sees “Cloud” on States.
Referring to statements made
[ for Gen. Eisenhower last night
: by Mr. Nixon, Gov. Fine said:
“I feel there was a cloud
placed upon our 48 States be
cause of the assertion that our
j (highway) systems are obso
-5 lete.” He pointed out that Penn
f sylvania has, 41,000 miles of im
proved highways and has spent
r $537 million on highways during
j his four years in office.
% “We want to continue unim
j peded by any Federal system,”
. Gov. Fine asserted. “We have
. our program for the next 12
years.” ■

e statements that highway obso
. lescence contributed to the high
t traffic death toll caused the loss
_ of billions of dollars due to

A Hard Man to Convince
Deficit Spending Bah Asked
In Bridges-Byrd Amendment
Seek Constitutional Edict to Require
Congress to Match Outlay and Taxes
By J. A. O'Leary
Two influential Senators of
fered a constitutional amend
ment today to put an end to
deficit spending by requiring
each session of Congress to pro
vide taxes equal to appropria
tions.
The plan, sponsored by Re
publican Senator Bridges of. New
Hampshire and Democratic Sen
ator Byrd of Virginia, would
prohibit an adjournment of
Congress if appropriations ex
ceeded estimates, except in time
of wa{.
While this would not solve the
problem of the present Federal
debt, which is close to thelegal
ceiling of $275 billion, it would
keep it from going any higher.
Filed for Study,
The V new constitutional
amendment was introduced as
Senate leaders were expecting
a last-minute request from the
Treasury to raise the $275 bil
lion debt ceiling before adjourn
ment. Senator Byrd said there
is no chance to amend the Con
stitution this year, but the
Bridges-Byrd proposal was filed
for study during the recess.

A heat wave which, has been

country moved into Washington
today, pushing out the pleasant
weather of the past few days.
The temperature reached 90

At least 1 eight deaths were

present debt and the cost of
carrying it will have to be re
garded as “semipermanent fac
tors in our economy.
“But regardless’of what can
be done concerning the sins of
the past, we must pledge our
selves to sin no more,” said Sen
ator Bridges.
$250 Billion Debt.
Senator Byrd told the Senate
that in 25 years Congress had’
appropriated $1.2 trillion, and
has spent $9 trillion, leaving un
expended balances of $143 bil
lion.
“At the same time we have
taken $675 billion out of the
pockets of the taxpayers and
loaded $250 billion in Federal
debt on their backs,” said the
Virginian.
Senator Bridges said deficit
spending must be stopped if the
i steady decline in the value of
I the American dollar is to be
halted. In 20 years, he said, the
dollar has declined to a value of
50 cents and that if the same
policies were continued for the
| next 40 years the dollar in 1994
i would be worth 12.5 cents. He

Approves 5%
Federal Raise
Million Classified
Workers Affected
By Legislation
By Joseph Young
The House Civil Service Com*
mittee today approved an ap
proximate five per cent pay raise
for Federal and District govern
ment classified employes.
The legislation Involves about
1 million workers, more than
200,000 of them in the Washing
ton area.
The bill provides a five per
cent Increase on the starting
rate of each grade and carries
the boost to each of the other
within-steps of the grade.
Proposed Increases.
Here is how classified employes
would fare:
Grade 1, $125 increase: Grade
2. $140: Grade 3, $150; Grade 4,
$160; Grade 5, $170; Grade 6,
$190; Grade 7, $210; Grade 8,

$420; Grade 14. $480; Grade 15,
$540: Grade 16, $600; Grade
17, $650.
Committee members said no
increase was voted for those in
grade 18 ($14,800 a year) be
cause it would have meant lift
ing statutory classified pay
ceiling.
CPC (Crafts. Protective and
Custodial) employes would re
ceive the following increases:
Grade 1, S9O; Grade 2, $120;
Grade 3. $130; Grade 4, $140;
Grade 5, $150; Grade 6, $160;
Grade 7, $170; Grade 8, $185;
Grade 9, $210; Grade 10. $230,
Work Not Finished.
The committee did not provide
for pay boosts for legislative and
judicial employes, but several
members said the group had not
finished work on the legislation.
The legislation also provide*
for additional fringe benefits for
Government employes such as
increased longevity and overtime
benefits and modification of the
Whitten rider which curbs
permanent appointments and
promotions. Committee members
; said they hope to finish action
on the entire bill within the next
few days.
