THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1954 BLYTHEVILLE (AKK.) COURIER NEWS PAGE SEVEN Fast Work Slated on Trade Act WASHINGTON House committees set a fast course today for a bill to extend for another year President Eisenhower's er to lower U.S. tariffs in agreements with other nations which lower theirs. Known as the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act. the law which the House bill would keep in effect is presently scheduled to expire at midnight Saturday. House leaders want to get the extension bill to the Senate in time for action there next week if possible.

While that would be after the deadline, a temporary lapse of the 20-year-old law would not affect reciprocal trade agreements already on the books. Eisenhower originally had requested a three-year extension of the controversial program in line with recommendations of a special commission on foreign economic policy headed by Clarence B. andall, president of Inland Steel Co. The President later backed away from the three-year request now and asked instead for the Shorter extension in order, he said, to give the House Ways and Means Committee more time for a longer look at the over-all program, with action next year. This committee called a morn- session to approve the one-year extension provided for in a bill introduced this week by Chairman Daniel A.

Reed (R-NY). The Rules Committee, meanwhile, docketed an afternoon session to send the measure to the House floor under procedure barring all amendments. Without such Rules Committee protection, the bill would be subjected to a barrage of amendments which could keep it before the House for weeks. Speaker Martin (R-Mass predicted that the House would overwhelmingly approve the one-year extension.

Indochina Debate Hews to Party Lines WASHINGTON administration's foreign policy was the target of both criticism and praise on Capitol Hill yesterday as congressional debate over the Indochina crisis erupted along party lines. Sen. Kefauver (D-Tenn) told the Senate one administration faction "a genuine war party" willing to "go it alone in Indochina." He Said the United States twice in recent weeks came within "a hair's breadth" of intervening in Indochina and was kept from open hostilities there "only by the re- of the British to join us." Sen. Hugh Butler (R-Neb) said he had been disturbed by reports country had been near intervention, but expressed confidence Eisenhower will say so publicly if the danger of direct J.S. involvement arises.

On the House side Rep. McCormack (Mass), the Democratic whip, said the administration is making "a serious mistake" by ex- iluding Asian nations from the military talks here on Indochina.
