Broyhill Raps
D. C. Heads on
Transit Stand
Hits Refusal to Offer
Bell Plan; House Due
To Pick Conferees
Representative Broyhill, Re
publican of Virginia, charged
today that the District Com
missioners. although "paying lip
service to private ownership.”
have actually discouraged pri
vate operation of Washington’s
transit system.
Mr. Broyhill disclosed • that,
two weeks before the Senate Dis
trict Committee cleared the pub
lic authority measure, the Com
missioners refused to present a
plan for private operation of
Capital Transit Co. facilities to
the committee.
"This plan was discussed with
the Commissioners by reputable
and financially responsible peo- i
pie, including Daniel Bell, presi-;
dent of the American Security
& Trust C 0.," Mr. Broyhill said
House to Name Conferees
Meanwhile, Chairman Priest of
the House Interstate and Foreignj
Commerce Committee said House [
conferees on the Washington
transit crisis would be appointed'
today. The Senate named five
conferees on Friday after re
jecting a House bill to restore!
the Capital Transit franchise.
The franchise is scheduled to die
by act of Congress next August 14.
While the House has approved
of restoring the franchise, the
Senate has passed a bill which
would set up a publicly-owned
Washington Metropolitan Transit
Authority to take over mass'
transportation when the CTC
Franchise expires. House and:
Senate conferees will face the
job of reconciling these two di-j
ametrically - opposed measures.
McLaughlin Comments
President Robert E. McLaugh
lin of the Board of Commission
ers said of Mr. Bell's pro
posal: "We had an understand
ing of this as an idea, or plan,
but there have been other ideas” '<
which have failed to develop.
"There has been no implemen-;
tation of this, and the company
hasn't even taken any action to
carry it out.”
Would Buy Out Wolfson
Mr. Bell’s proposal calls for
the company itself to buy out
the stock of Louis E. Wolfson,
its controlling stockholder, us
ing the proceeds of mortgage
bonds on company real estate.
Os the request to help present!
the Bell plan to the Senate com
mittee, Mr. McLaughlin said the
Commissioners felt they had
fully informed Congress of their
own views in support of a pub
licly owned transit authority, but
had no objection to others pre
senting the Bell plan—"as a
plan"—to either the House or
Senate committee.
Engineer Commissioner Thomas
A. Lane was in Boston until Fri
day and was unavailable for
comment.
Karriek Gives Views
Commissioner David B. Kar
l'ick. who took office only two
weeks before the Senate District J
Committee acted, said he had
taken no substantial role in the
transit crisis. However, he de-;
dared, he would find acceptable
either the “interim'’ authority
plan approved by the Senate, or
an interim restoration of the
Capital Transit franchise.
"As a businessman.” he said,
“I am not antagonistic toward a
restoration, and cannot get my
self worked into any state of
indignation over who owns the
shares" of the company's stock.
This was a reference to those
who have campaigned for can
cellation of the CTC franchise;
as a means of ridding Washing
ton of the influence of Mr. Wolf
son.
Mr. Broyhill asserted:
"Mr. Bell and his associates
requested the Commissioners to
present the plan to the Senate
committee in executive session so
that the committee members
would have before them a legiti
mate solution of the public vs.
private ownership controversy
Both the Commissioners and tlie|
members of the Senate commit-1
tee have said they favor private
operation.
"It. would appear that the
Commissioners were only paying
lip service to private ownership,

4 Soviet Sailors
Denied Asylum
McLeod Says Russians
Made No Application
By the Associated Press
The State Department has re
jected a request by four more
Soviet seamen on Formosa for
asylum in the United States.
The rejection, it was learned
today, was made by the office of
Scott McLeod, chief of security!
and consular affairs, on grounds
that no formal application was
on record.
The question of the seamen
W'as checked to Mr. McLeod by
Walter S. Robertson, Assistant
Secretary of State for Far East
affairs. Mr. McLeod's refugee
; chief. Pierce Gerety. relayed it to
the Church World Service, New
York.
The Church World Service
acted as sponsor for nine Soviet
seamen who were brought to the
United States last October over
the objections of the Immigra
tion Service and with the strong
backing of the Central Intelli
gence Agency.
Part of Taupsr's Crew
These nine, like the four try
ing to get in, were part of the
crew of the Soviet tanker
Taupse. The Nationalist Chi
nese captured the tanker nearly
two years ago and interned its
crew on Formosa. The captain
and 28 crewmen went back to
Russia soon afterward.
Last April 7 five of the nine
seamen who had gained admit
tance to this country flew home
to the Soviet Union under cir
cumstances that led to the ex
i pulsion of two members of Rus
sia's delegation to the United
Nations.
The four who stayed swore to
the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee they would never
go back to Russia—they told the
same thing to Soviet Ambassador
Georgi Zarubin.
They testified at the Senate
hearing they believed the five
w ho went back were •‘kidnaped.”
Four Filed Application
Os the 11 Taupse crewmen still
on Formosa, four filed a formal
application for United States
entry in a letter last March to
the Church World Service.
The Church World Service, in
forwarding the letter, noted that
the four seamen could not meet
Refugee Relief Act requirement
jsince they had once belonged to
the Communist youth organiza
tion. But they could be allowed
entry, as were their shipmates,
upon waivers from Secretary of
State Dulles and Attorney Gen
eral Brownell.
It was learned Mr. Gerety
notified the Church World Serv
ice yesterday the department
icould take no action in the case
since it had no record of a for
mal application from the men. !
The seven other crewmen are
reported working for the Nation-!
alist China government. They
•have not expressed any wish to!
come to the United States.
Emigre Blackmailing Reported
Meanwhile the Internal Se
curity Subcommittee was re
ported seeking to halt Soviet
blackmailing of Iron Curtain
refugees who gained asylum In
this country illegally.
Robert Morris, subcommittee
counsel, said the threat of ex
posure to United States Immi
gration officials was being used:
against 20.000 to 40,000 refugees
who took false names or said
they were born in non-Commu
nist countries in order to enter
the United States.
In a radio interview on Mu
tual's Reporters' Roundup, Mr
Morris said the subcommittee
was "launching a thorough in
vestigation.”

U. S. Retirement Bill Due
To Pass Senate Today
Knowland Calls Johnston Measure
Too Costly, Asks $205 Million Trim
By JOSEPH YOUNG
The Johnston civil service retirement bill is expected to be
approved today by the Senate.
Chairman Johnston of the
characterized the bili as the ”mos
of Federal employe legislation of
Senate began debate on the bill
"It will raise the morale of 1
Government and help retain the I
best possible people,” the South
Carolinian said.
After a conference of Repub- 1
lican congressional leaders at the!
White House today, Senator Mi
nority Leader Knowland said the
Johnston bill in its present form
“is not acceptable to the ad
ministration.”
Senator Knowland said amend
ments would be offered to the
bill on the Senate floor today to
cut the bill’s cost. The Califor
nian is hopeful that similar pro
visions will be adopted by the
[House.
Differences on Cost
Senator Knowland estimated
the bill's cost in its present form
at 5450 million a year. He said
the administration hoped to cut
the cost to $245 million by trim
ming some of the proposed an
nuity and survivorship benefits'
increases. Democrats differ with
the Republicans on the bill’s cost,'
asserting that it would cost only
$259 million a year.
Senate approval will send the
bill to the House. The House
has not yet taken action on
retirement legislation, preferring
to wait until the Senate acts.
The Johnston bill would in
crease the annuity and family;
survivorship benefits of 2 mil
lion Government workers and
;their families by a substantial
amount.
Annuity payments would be
increased by about 25 per cent,
and family survivorship benefits
by 50 to 200 per cent.
Survivorship Benefits
Also, retirement would be per
mitted after 30 years of service,
regardless of age, at only a
slight cut in benefits to employes. 1
Employes now must reach age 55
before being permitted to retire
at a sharply reduced annuity.
| Another feature of the John-!
ston bill would permit a Federal
employe, on reaching retirement
age, to designate his wife for
a one-half survivorship annuity
share in the event of his death.

Regarding family survivorship
benefits, the bill would greatly

\ The widow would be entitled to
[ an annual benefit of half the
' annuity earned by the employe

[
The bill would become effective
on January 1, 1957. It would

benefits, Federal workers would

told the annual convention of
the National Association of Re
i tired Civil Employes that retired j
Federal workers also are en- ;

I Britain to Hold
Vital Colonies
Won't Break Faith,
Lloyd Declares
OLLERTON, England, May 22
i/P). —Singling out Cyprus, Singa
pore and Aden, Foreign Secre
tary Selwyn Lloyd said last night
Britain will not ‘‘cast away those
overseas possessions which are
vital to our strategic interests.”
Such a course, Mr. Lloyd told
a political rally,. “would be a
breach of faith with the rising
generation.”
He mentioned Cyprus, Singa
pore and Aden as "three such
places in the news just at the
moment.”
Lord Lloyd, British Undersec
retary for Colonial Affairs, told
the Aden Legislative Council
over the week end, no changes
i could be made in the colony's
constitution because of its stra
tegic and economic value to the
commonwealth. It is located on
the southwest tip of Arabia.
Singapore Talks Fail
Talks on future independence’
for the crown colony of Singa
pore broke down last week in
London. Britain has promised
greater self - rule to Singapore
i but has insisted on control over
internal security and defense of
1 the naval base at the southern
1 tip of the Malay Peninsula.
On the Mediterranean island
1 colony of Cyprus, Britain has
been waging a 14-month fight
against underground extremists
, fighting to end British rule and
[ unite the island with Greece.
Mr. Lloyd told the meeting
i here Cyprus "is vital” to Britain
for carrying out NATO responsi
bilities “and also to enable us to
maintain our position in the
Middle East and to honor our
great obligations there.” Since
the British began pulling out of
the Suez Canal zone. Cyprus has 1
become the headquarters for
Britain's forces in the Middle
East.
Terrorism Cited
i "Quite a lot of people even in
this country.” said Mr. Lloyd,
“seem to think that these Cypriot
terrorists are fighting the battle
for freedom in a respectable and
commendable manner.
"In fact the terrorists have not
the backing of more than a tiny l
fraction of the population of
Cyprus and most of their acts!
of brutality have been directed
against their fellow Cypriots." j
The majority of Cyprus’ popu
lation is of Greek origin.
Mr. Lloyd also said he believes
the danger of a Soviet attack is
diminishing. But, he said, while
competitive coexistence "is in
finitely to be preferred to nuclear
war ... it is a conflict which
might have most dangerous con
sequences for our free institu
tions and those of other Lee
countries of the world.”
Mr. Lloyd said NATO must re-'
tain its military framework, im
prove its political strength and
be more positive in political
ideas.

Dulles Says U. S. Regrets
Egypt's Bow to Red China
Thinks Envoy Exchange Won't Help Peiping
Much in Getting Into United Nations
By CECIL HOLLAND
Secretary of State Dulles said today Egypt’s recognition of
Red China is "an action we regret.”
Mr. Dulles told a news conference he believed Egypt’s ac
tions would "not appreciably” increase Red China’s chances of
winning admittance to the United Nations.
In other statements, Mr. Dulles:
1. Sought to clear up confusion over the American reaction
to the 1.2 million armed forces
icut announced by Russia by say
ing the United States has “no
, reason to believe that the Soviet
action means any diminution of
military power.”
2. Said the action of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee in
approving a policy statement on
meeting the dangers of the
Soviet bloc "fell short" of the ad
ministration's hopes for author
ity for a long-range foreign aid
program. Mr. Dulles said the
administration would continue
efforts to get specific authority
before the Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee.
3. Said he expects a test of
Soviet Russia's offer to help re
lieve tension ;n the Middle East'
when resolutions are offered in (
the United Nations as a "follow
up" of U. N. Secretary General!
Dag Hammarskjold's cease-fire
agreement between Israel and
the Arab states.
Aswan Dam Question
4. Said he does not believe
that Britain’s announced inten
tion to increase its trade with
Red China “will lead to a break-[
down” of the multi-nation sys
tem on trade in strategic goods
with Communist China.
Mr. Dulles was asked if the
United States would continue
with plans for aiding Egypt in
building the Aswan Dam if
Soviet Russia also should par
ticipate. There have been reports

’ “It would be unlikely that we
would find it practicable or desir

Talks With
Eisenhower;
2 Probes Set
Secretary of Defense Wilson
warned today that "it might be
a little dangerous” for the next
person "who sticks his neck out”
jin interservice bickering.
Mr. Wilson, who vowed at a
news conference yesterday to
find out who gave newsmen clas
sified papers last week end, bring
ing interservice differences into
the open, conferred with Presi
dent Eisenhower today.
' Asked when he left the Whit*
House if he reported to the Pres
ident on the service troubles. Mr.
Wilson said, “We had some more
important things to talk about,
but we mentioned it casually.”
,i The Defense Secretary told
[ questioners the President "is a
i bit unhappy about the fact that
we don't seem to get along bet
■ ter in the services.”
Warns on Next Outbreak
He minimized the service dif
ference, however, saying they
were like a rash that breaks out
once in a while.
Asked what may be the next
! step, Mr. Wilson said. "WeTl see
who sticks his neck out next—l
think it might be a little dan
gerous.”
j When newsmen asked if Mr.
'Eisenhower had directed him to
take any specific action to end
bickering among the armed
I services, Mr. Wilson said. "The
[President understands organiza
tion very well—he's just letting
me handle it.”
Meanwhile Chairman Chavez,
i Democrat of New Mexico, of an
appropriations su b c ommittee.
, and Chairman Symington, Dem
ocrat of Montana, of an armed
, services subcommittee said their
groups will look into the matter.
Senator Chavez said his sub
committee has decided "to have
' the high brass of all three serv
ices in here and ask them why
jthey are bickering."
Won't Spank Anyone
Senator Chavez, whose sub
committee considers the budget
j requests of the military, told The
'Star he wants to "find out what
| the trouble is.”
| “I intend a legitimate, reason
’•able inquiry,” he said. “'I have
no idea of putting anyone on
the pan. I don’t want to spank
1 anyone—unless they need It.”
The Senator asserted that he
also wants to know whether
["money is being wasted” as a
result of "bickering” within the
Defense Department. ‘ There is
only one reason for the Army,
Navy and Air Force and that's
the national security.” he added.
Seeks Facts on Navy
: Senator Symington said the
Army, Navy and Air Force will
be called upon for testimony "as
to their positions in the missile
field." He added that the group
also will go into the Navy's role
in air power, including what he
called “both its primary and
secondary missions.”
Senator Syminßton. in broad
ening what started out as a study
of the Air Force and its capabil
ities as compared to those of
Russia, referred “to air prob
lems currently in controversy
among the three military services
as to their respective roles and
missions in the over-all field of
air power.”
Secretary Wilson, at an un
precedented news conference *
' which included the Secretaries
of the Army. Navy and Air
Force and all members of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, late
[yesterday sought to take the
steam out of the intcr-service
wrangle.
He said accounts of the row,
which appeared in the press over

without any question." He as
