Area Now Held by Reds
SEOUL, Aug. 2 OP). The!
South Korean government pro- !
claimed its intention today toj
“restore authority" over a small;
but strategic area south of the
38th Parallel which the Reds
occupied while the armistice was
being negotiated.
It did not say how or when it
would recover the territory, but
said it was necessary for the
defense of Seoul and quoted in
telligence reports that a "full
scale attack is imminent" from
the north.
It charged the attack “was
prepared for” by a North Korean
buildup contrary to armistice
terms “while the United States
and the United Nations were
preoccupied with a peace at any
cost movement.”
In a bitterly-worded state

McCarthy View
Os Big 4 Talks
By the Aseocieted Prese
Senator Goldwater. Republi
can of Arizona, said today “the
American people will rebut"!
charges by Senator McCarthy. l
Republican of Wisconsin, that;
President Eisenhower offered!
“friendship to tyrants and mur-j
derers” at Geneva.
Senator McCarthy denounced
in the Senate yesterday what
he termed Mr. Eisenhower's
"profession of faith” in a state
ment of Russian leaders that
they want peace. The Wisconsin
Senator. said he believes a
“sell-out” to the Communists in
Asia is in the making and he
intends to “take the issue to
the American people.”
Senator Goldwater, who heads
the Republican Senatorial Cam- .
paign Committee and says he
regards Senator McCarthy as a ,
G. O. P. asset, said in an inter
view that “I think the Ameri
can people themselves will re- 1
but Joe.” <
Says People Reject Idea |
Senator Qoldwater said he i
doesn’t believe the people will,
“buy” Senator McCarthy's con
tention that the Big Four con
ference at Geneva constituted a •
rout for the free world forces. 1
“I think the people are pretty i
well pleased with the outcome ]
of the Geneva conference, even
those who have some reserve- ]
tions about the matter.” Sen- (
ator Goldwater said. “The peo- |
pie are for peace and they be- |
; lieve we have made a start to- ,
ward getting it.”
Senator McCarthy declared'
“the Eisenhower administration
has adopted every important
plank of the Democratic Party’s
foreign policy” and reduced the
1952 Republican platform to “a
scrap of paper.”
He said most Republicans “in
their hearts. I think, are op
posed to the President’s policies.”
“But they have accepted the
; theory that they cannot return
to office in 1956 without Eisen
hower at the head of the ticket
and they are. I am afraid, pre
pared to subordinate considera-
I tions of sound policy to those of
political survival," he said.
Bender Backs President
Senator Bender, Republican,
of Ohio, who accused Senator
McCarthy of an "intemperate
attack” on Mr. Eisenhower, said
that wasn’t so as far as he is
iconcerned.
“I am not supporting Elsen
hower today because I believe it
is of political advantage.” he
said “I supported the principles
he stands for before I knew there
was such a man.”
Senator McCarthy said there is
j "every reason to believe that con
crete measures for appeasement
were agreed upon at Geneva,"
despite Mr. Elsenhower's state
ment that no commitments of
any kind were made by the Big
'Four.
Denouncing those who claim
the meeting was a success be
cause "we have made frienda
■ with the Soviet government.” the
| Wisconsin Senator said “this is
J another way of saying that we
ihave made friends with the apos
,tles of hell.
1 “You cannot offer friendship
'.to tyrants and murderers, as has
';the President of the United
' States without advancing the
. cause of tyranny and murder,"
I jhe asserted.
Senator McCarthy also at
; tacked Mr. Eisenhower's friend
• ship with Marshal Georgi K.
> Zhukov, Soviet Defense Minister
. and a World War II comrade in
I arms. He said Mr. Eisenhower
; ought to have “a decent regard
for the feeling of his country-

men" and shun Marshal Zhukov.,
He added:
"The argument that, through'
Zhukov, we have a pipeline to:
the Kremlin is sheer nonsense.!
The sort of thing that Zhukov!
is likely to tell the President is
the sort of thing the President
should hear less of, not more.”
Senator McCarthy recalled!
that Mr. Eisenhower assured the
Nation a week ago “that there
were no secret agreements at
Geneva, either written or other-!
wise.”
“We were also led to believe
that the Far Eastern situation
was not discussed." he said.
Eden Is Quoted
"But on Wednesday Prime
Minister Eden told the House
of Commons that the Far East
ern crisis had been discussed
in the secret Big Four meet
ings . . .
“In the light of the State
Department announcement,
coming as it did right after Ge
neva, of talks with the Chinese
Communists on the question of
a cease-fire in the Formosa
Straits, it is highly probable
that the President agreed with
the Communists to negotiate
about Quemoy and the Matsus.”
“On the basis of words, and
words alone,” Senator Mc-
Carthy went on. “the President
led the American people to be
lieve that there is sufficient evi
dence of Communist sincerity to
, go ahead with a new policy of
reconciliation and friendship.
“To my mind Mr. Eisenhow
er’s profession of faith in the
Communists' sincerity was the
most astonishing statement ever
, uttered in public by a President
of the United States.”
No Deal, Knowland Says
Senator Knowland of Califor
nia. the Republican leader, re- 1
plied that he could say flatly!
from the “highest sources In this!
Government" that no deal was
made at Geneva to turn over
; Nationalist-held offshore islands;
to Communist China, as con
tended by Senator McCarthy.
Senator Knowland conferred
with President Eisenhower today,
and told reporters later that the
President "reiterated and in
dorsed" the Knowland statement
that “no deal and no trade" had
been made for release of the
American prisoners.
Senator Knowland also said
Mr. Eisenhower reassured him of
the accuracy of his statement
that the United States had made
no deal at the Geneva Big Four
conference to "sell out" the Chi
nese Nationalists or other allies
in the Far East.
Senator Mundt. Republican of
South Dakota, who often has
supported Senator McCarthy in
the past, said he considers the
Geneva meeting “a success.”
Senator Potter. Republican, of
Michigan, said he agreed with
Senator Knowland and Senator
Mundt.

the Republicans defended Mr.
Elsenhower from Senator Mc-
Carthy’s thrusts.
Without reference to Senator
McCarthy’s statements. Chair

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Career-Status, Insurance
Bills Go to President
By JOSEPH YOUNG
Congress has approved and sent to the White House two
major Federal employe bills, which President Elsenhower is
expected to sign.
One bill will give career status to about 50.000 Government
indefinite employes who have passed civil service exams or who
will take and pass a non-com-1
petitlve exam within the next
year.
The other bill protects the life)
insurance policies of present and
former Government workers in I
employe welfare associations,
which are going out of business
ns a result of last year’s Federal
Employes' Life Insurance Act.
Still to be acted on as Con
gress moves toward adjournment
is the bill to raise the salaries
of top Federal executives and
the classified pay ceiling to
$16,000 a year, protect employes
against salary cuts when their
jobs are down-graded and pro
vide free fidelity bonds to Fed
eral workers who now must pay
for such bonds.
Sponsors of the executive pay
and down-grading protection
bill also hoped for Senate action
today. The measures have been
approved by the House. In an
effort to get action on the
executive pay bill, the admin
istration has sent word to Cap
itol Hill that it is willing to
accept the slightly less liberal
House measure Instead of the
one approved by the Senate
Civil Service Committee. Among
other things, the Senate unit’s
bill would raise the $14,800
classified pay ceiling to $17,500.
compared to a new $16,000
ceiling in the House bill.
However, the $16,000 ceiling
approved by the House would be

Annuitant Raise
In Conterence
House-Senate conferees were
ito meet today on legislation to
increase the pension benefits of
300,000 Federal annuitants.
The Senate last night sent the
I legislation to conference when
it approved a bill to raise the
pensions of retired employes by
! 12 per cent of the first $1,500 a
year of their annuities and 8
per cent in excess of that figure.
The House last week approved
the same increase, but the Sen
ate last night added a few
amendments, making it neces
sary to send the bill to confer
ence.
The House-approved bill would
not give any increases to annui
tants drawing more than $4,000
a year. The passed bill
would give the increase to all
Federal annuitants but would
limit the maximum amount of
the increase to $360.
The Senate’s bill also would
bring under Civil Service retire
ment coverage employes of the
Democratic and Republican con
gressional campaign committees.
This feature is not included in
the House bill.
Both the House and Senate
bills apply the 12 and 8 per cent
formula to those whose annuities
began before last July 1.
Those who retire between July
1 and next December 31 would
have their annuities increased
by 10 per cent on the first $1,500
and 7 per cent on any amount
over that. Those who retire
during the first six months of
1956 would have their annuities
increased on an 8 and 6 per cent
formula.
Those who retire during the
! second six months of 1956 would
| get an increase of 6 and 4 per
cent: the increase formula would
,! be 4 and 2 per cent for thoff who
retire during the first half of
! 1957, the figures would be 4 and
2 per cent, and for those who
retire during the second half of
1957, the rates would be 2 and 1
per cent.
Those who retire after Decem
ber 31, 1957. would not get any
increase.

not be consecutive) are eligible

INSURANCE PROVISIONS—
The insurance bill approved by
Congress would authorize the
! Government to take over the as
sets and to assume the liabilities
of the estimated 135,000 life in
surance policies held by present
and former employes and issued
by beneficial groups. More than
half of the employes involved
are in this area.
The measure would give the
nonprofit employes welfare as
sociations 10 years to turn their
policies over to the Government.
The groups would have to go
out of the life msurance busi
ness. The policy-holders would
continue to pay premiums to
the Government at the same
rates they paid to the amploye
[groups. The employe welfare
groups are unable to compete in
|tbe life insurance field with the
Government’s low-cost group life
insurance plan.
