TEN TUESDAY, MAY 25, 1954 THE gVENIKQ ttfDgPgNPENT, MA881LLON, Eisenhower Ready To Abandon Be-Kind-To-Democrats Strategy? Aide Throws First Barb At Opposition By MARVIN L. ARROWSM1TH WASHINGTON White House aide's criticism of Democrats in congress raised a question today whether President Eisen-j hower himself may be ready to toss a few political brick bats. If he does, it will be a sharp departure from the be-kind-to-Dem ocrats role he has played consist ently since taking office 16 month; ago. CRITICISM OF THE opposition party voiced yesterday by Bernard M. Shanley, one of the president's key aides, was something quite new.

i Speaking off the cuff to a meeting of the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers association, Shanley accused Democrats in congress of throwing "important roadblocks" in the path of the administration's legislative program. It was the first time anybody high on the White House staff has sounded off so bluntly against the Democrats. In doing so. Presidential Special Counsel Shanley reportedly had Eisenhower's approval. And that touched off speculation that the president may be getting set to speai out himself, perhaps with an eye to the coming congressional elections.

Eisenhower has said that unless the Republicans enact what he terms a dynamic and progressive program, they won't deserve to win in the November elections. But so far he has refrained from cutting loose at the Democrats. One obvious reason is that his program can't be put across without their cooperation, so closely is 1 congress divided. THE PRESIDENT also has -said he plans no barnstorming campaigning in behalf of individual Republicans, but indications are he will travel around the country to plug for a workable Republican majority in the next congress. The Democrats and Republicans now each have 47 senators.

In the house, the Republicans barely outnumber Democrats. In his speech Shanley also suggested that former Vice President Alben W. Barkley and other Democrats are trying to ride to victory in November on Eisenhower's coattails. Barkley is bidding for election to the senate seat now held by John Sherman Cooper, Kentucky Republican who is seeking re-election. Shanley did not mention him by name.

Barkley said in New York that if Shanley's statement "had reference to me it is utterly preposterous." Listing the "roadblocks," Shanley spoke of "the solid vote of the opposition to the major portions of the president's program." HE MENTIONED the Democratic votes against (1) administration tax revision proposals in the house, (2) amendment of the Taft-Hartley law in the senate, and (3) a proposed constitutional amendment to lower the voting age to 18. The tax bill passed the house, but the labor and suffrage measures were blocked in the senate.

The department said they were loaded at Stettin in Communist Poland. That shipment reputedly was the equivalent of 70 freight cars and worth 10 million dollars. More arms were said to be on the high seas bound for Guatemala, which this country has charged with following the Communist line. Guatemala's foreign minister denied this 'emphatically. Of the original shipment, Toriello said: "The equipment Guatemala has bought will never be used for anything else than to maintain internal peace." TORIELLO SAID he had had friendly talks on many questions with Ambassador Peurifoy in the course of a conference yesterday.

And Toriello' left the impression he was optimistic that Guatemala's relations with the United States might improve. He indicated this might have some connection with what he said he had suggested as a new approach to the problem of United Fruit Co. properties, some of which have been expropriated. He gave no details. Peurifoy declined comment.

With unusual speed, Moscow radio leaped to the attack less than six hours after the state department's announcement of arms shipments to friendly Nicaragua and Honduras. It said these Rovern- nients are under U.S. domination and declared: "Washington has disgraced itself to such an extent in the eyes of the peoples of Latin America that it cannot any longer carry out open acts of aggression against Guatemala. That is why the Unite- States is now trying to get other hands to pull its chestnuts out of the fire." Slate department officials made Hie double-quick movement of military equipment to The immediate problem was how to reach an agreement on procedure which would allow the conferees to get down to work on the problems of an Indoehinese peace. The Indoehinese talks will be in recess tomorrow while the 19-nation conference on Korea goes back into session to hear the United States and other nations comment on the latest proposals advanced jy South Korea and Communist China's Premier Chou En-Iai.

There still was 'no information lere as to what instructions Eden brought back with him from Lon- conferring withJ Prime Minister Churchill and other members of the British cabinet. It was understood, however, the British were nearing the end of their "wait and see" policy. Western delegates still were not ready to break off the in their fifth were reported giving serious consideration to fixing a time limit. IN LONDON, the diplomatic reporter of the Conservative Daily Mail reported the cabinet had given Eden discretionary powers tc decide how much longer he should participate. "Unless there is substantial progress," the Daily Mail story continued, the talks "are un- COLUMBUS.

A common pleas court judge has upheld four recent rules changes adopted by the Ohio Racing Commission. Five enterprises had appealed the one which requires dope tests for horses at the expense of racing permit holders. In denying the appeal, Judge Ralph J. Bartlett said the changes "represent a reasonable and lawful exercise of'powers." THE APPEAL ACTION was brought by Standard Tote Inc. of Grove City, Midwest Totalizer Ohio Sports Enterprises, Ascot Park Jockey club and River Downs of Ohio, Inc.

12 included the limiting of any track's races to eight day, except Saturday; public inspection reports to the racing commission, and designation of the types of totalizators which track must use. The regulation on doping requires permit holders to employ a veterinarian and a chemist, at their own expense, to detect doping. Said Judge Bartlett: "The, elimination of these safeguards to the betting public 'would reduce racing in Ohio to a sorry state. Short-sighted reception of such regulations can lead only to the killing of the goose that laid The regulations adopted last Jan.lterests." the golden egg, both as to the state's revenue, as "well as the commissions of the race track in- Denies (Continued from Page One) that there had been a week's recess and told Stevens that after such a long rest, the secretary should be able tell us the truth."

Four On Trial In Columbus COLUMBUS, Ohioans accused of contempt of the Ohio Un-American Activities Commission go on trial here today. One mistrial and a personal injury to one of the defendants caused delays in recent weeks. The cases date back two years. Defendants are Harry T. McGill of Dayton; Vassel Thamel, former Daytonian who recently moved to Fort Wayne, Melvin Hupman and his wife, Julia Pearl Hupman, of Clarksville, Clinton county, Ohio.

Each of the defendants faces a number of counts of refusing in April 1952 to answer commission questions regarding Communist affiliations. Thamel was indicted on 23 counts, McGill on 49, Hupman on 40 and his wife on 41. Nicaragua and Honduras is a special effort prompted by Guatemala's arms acquisition.

"There was unquestionably a situation there that wasn't normal and Pvt. Schine was looked upon as a man apart," Ryan said "I might say that Pvt. Schine him- 'self contributed by indicating to his company commander that he was at Ft. Dix to study the reorganization of the United States Army along modern lines." RYAN SAID Schine got leave for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's and that because of a mixup over the latter Schine was allowed to stay in New York the night of Jan.

"He was very excited and he was disturbed and disappointed," the general said. "He aide reported to me what he said were some people in Ft. Dix who were very cooperative Col. Ringler and Lt. Miller has being doing everything they could to make it difficult for Pvt.

Schine and that he was not going to forget their names." The general said Schine did KP duty the day after starting his basic training last Nov. '22, and on another occasion did "the dirtiest job" of all, cleaning the" stove. Ryan said he accepted the word of subcommittee staff members that Schine was needed for consultation on official work and never made any effort to check on that. He said an inspector general under him had looked into published reports that Schine was seen at night clubs while on a pass but hadn't found anything to support them. WHEN STEVENS first told him lie had made arrangements in, schinc to continue to be consulted by the subcommittee staff, Ryan lie accepted the secretary's instructions "most enthusiastically."

Mundt said he thought the army might complete its case during the day. The McCarthy camp indicated Colin might be its first witness, with McCarthy following later.

Mundt said the committee was passing along daily to Atty. Gen. Browneli its transcrpt. He indicated that any initiative for perjury, prosecutions would have to come from the cabinet officer.

Judge Ralph J. Bartlett is expected to rule whether the machines are gambling devices and as such may be confiscated from liquor permit spots. A temporary order confiscation was issued by the court after State Liquor Director Anthony A. 'Rutkowski demanded their removal from permit premises. (Continued from "Page One) he impression is strong, too, that Indonesia offers the next line of east resistance to Communist ex- plans.

Here, in Geneva, the Communists are displaying an all-or-nothing attitude on the question of The implication is that eventually they expect to take all. Then the next move in the step- by-step expansion program of world communism could be Indonesia, bypassing BUrma, Thailand and Malayas. Moscow could well use Indonesia's oil, tin and rubber. Does Communism have immediate designs on Indonesia? "SEMICOLONIAL Indonesia is subject to permanent economic crisis," says the Indonesian Communist party's most recent direc- ive. "The way to eliminate this situation is to liquidate this semi- colonial status and replace it with system of people's (Communist) democracy." Indonesia has 80 million people.

The party claims only 126,000 members and candidate members. But is warring to capture the minds of of the literate popu- ation which is the only significant force. Conditions are fertile. There are political disorganization, terror, confusion and chaos. Under the watchful eye of Moscow, the Communist party has wedded itself to the Nationalist (PNI) government of Premier Ali Sastroamidjojo.

Its votes in parliament could bring about the fall of the government. The Communists warn the government not to "deviate to the right." But they are under party orders now to support the government because rule might otherwise 'fall into the hands of the ultra- reactionary Masjumi (Moslems and PSI Socialists), who would certainly suppress the people's movement cruelly." Meanwhile, the party publicly demands arms from the so fight terrorism. On the surface, the party appears to have no military striking force of its own, but it controls the Perbepsi, a union of former guerrilla fighters. THE GOVERNMENT has outlawed the Bambu Runtjing (Bamboo Spear), an armed gang inclined toward the Communists, but winked at the use of this organization to fight guerrilla bands. The chief source of terrorism is Dar-Ul Islam, originally made up of Moslem fanatics demanding a pure Moslem state.

The movement is no longer pure. It has been infiltrated from all sides, not ex eluding Communists. With a nucleus of 10,000 armed men and a pool for recruits 10 times that size, Dar-Ul Islam is well organized. It has an intelligence system which some consider superior to the Indonesian army's. It's peri odic murder and pillage contribute to unrest and tension.

Indonesian Nationalist leaders profess to see no connection tween communism and what is going on in Indochina. They will bit Com munism "from the outside" -is a menace to Indonesia, yet they reject the concept that the Vietminh in Indochina was influenced by communism. As Nationalists they consider as patriotic any move ment aimed at routing the foreigner. There is much dis- tinquished from Moscow Indonesian leader's thinking. A violent anti-American campaign by the Communists, while it has not eradicated a large well of good, will toward Americans, has caught on to the extent that it has made the sensitive Nationalists suspicious of all things American.

Hayes Says He'll Return To Hearing WASHINGTON (AP) 'Rep Hays (D-Ohio) said he pjanned to be back today.for resumption a hearing he boycotted after heatedly charging a witness with maliciously "dropping the name" of Sen.

Sargent, a San Francisco lawyer with whom Hays clashed repeatedly yesterday while Sargent was telling a special house investigating committee that some tax-exempt foundations are "de liberately" promoting socialism He named. none specifically. The committee has been studying the operations of tax-free foundations in general.

HAYS AND THE only othei Democrat on the committee, Rep. Pfost of Idaho, walked out, forcing a 'recess, after Sargent read a list of names from a pamphlet which he said was issued by the League for Industrial Democracy in 1941. The list followed an introduction which said: "Many present day leaders of thought were among active members of the In- 'Socialist -Society college chapters." Among the.names Sargent read was that of "Paul Douglas." Hays accused Sargent of "dropping the name of Sen. Douglas with malice aforethought." He. also criticized the witness for using what he called a "scattergun technique" in citing names.

The Ohioan moved for a closed ession, citing a committee rule providing for such a procedure whenever testimony arises that might harm reputations. But Chairman Reece (R-Tenn) cast the proxy votes of absent Reps. Goodwin (R-Mass) and Wolcott (R-Mich) and thus defeated Hays' motion.
