COUEltat Nixon Renews Attacks On Truman's Foreign Policy and Stevenson WASHINGTON (AP) Vice President Nixon has renewed his attacks on Truman administration foreign policy and Adlai Stevenson has declared that Nixon be competing for the title of history's most irresponsible exalted statesman." Kixon's fresh charge that the i mer "previous administration" had lost 800 million people to communism came yesterday in an interview with Rep. Keating (r-NY) televised for New York stations. Stevenson, the 1952 Democratic presidential candidate, mentioned Nixon during an off-the-cuff talk tt A Denver luncheon in which he urged Democrats "to do what can be done to make up for the deficit in leadership" in the Eisenhower administration. Democrats Reacted A -week ago, Nixon opened up oil the Democrats in a Milwaukee speech with a charge that policies of former President Truman and secretary of state, Dean Ache- ton, lost China to the Reds and led to the Korean war and present TT.S. problems in Indochina.

Democratic members of Congress reacted angrily, suggesting that a bipartisan foreign policy might be undercut if Eisenhower administration officials persisted in this kind of talk. Asked about Nixon's remarks at his news conference Wednesday, President Eisenhower said his vice president is entitled to his own opinions, but that he is an ad- Ulincis governor called on Democrats "to do what can be done to make up for the deficit in leadership" in the GOP. He cited the "public brawl" the Army-McCarthy hearings as an example, saying the Republican National Committee and Republican leadership failed to support Army Secretary Stevens. He praised, on the other hand. the actions during the hearings of Democratic committee members Jackson of Washington, Symington of Missouri and McClellan of Arkansas.

In his discussion with Keating, Jfixesn said Democratic planners "didn't what the Communist threat really was." He tiiey left behind a foreign "policy of weakness, a policy of of principle at the conference table." On the other hand, Nixon said, the Eisenhower administration has "adopted policy of in which our people go to the conference table determined not to surrender our principles but to make them prevail." Stevenson Cites GOP Division Stevenson, on his way to an Alaska, -vacation, told a gathering of Democrats that Nixon has reversed himself in statements about Indochina. In general terms, Stevenson stated that "an administration that cannot unite its own party, on essentials at least, can hardly hope to unite and the free world." He blames the situation on a "platoon system" of secretaries of wherein foreign policy is laid down by Secretary Dulles, senate Majority Leader Knowland (R- Calif) and Nixon.

This was recommended by the administration as a device for easing the price-depressing effects of the government-held stocks.

Advocates of high, unvarying supports have contended the President's program might cut drastically into farmers' income. Benson countered in a nationwide radio broadcast earlier this week that that isn't so. Aiken said in a separate interview that "actually the compromise did not mean much" and that it was designed "largely to counteract propaganda." Wheat May Be Excepted "With the possible exception of wheat," he said, "all the other basic crops would have been supported at from 82 to near 90 per cent under the Eisenhower program." Aiken said the Senate Agriculture Committee has agreed to meet Wednesday to complete its farm bill. He said the measure should reach the Senate by next weekend or the following Monday. The Vermont Senator said a House-approved plan to boost supports on dairy products to 80 per cent of parity "has some merit." This would be 5 per cent above the level fixed by secretary Benson i On April 1.

i Commenting further on provi- sions in the House bill, Aiken said "two price wheat plan seems unworkable." Under that plan, wheat farmers would vote whether (A) to continue under direct price supports or (B) to change to a system designed to give them 100 per cent of parity on wheat sold for domestic consumption, with the rest of their output unsupported for feed or export at world prices.

HOFFMAN WASHINGTON government has set off a double play attempt with a court action against the United Fruit banana empire in Central America. Atty. Gen.

Brownell announced late yesterday the government had filed an antitrust suit in New Orleans Federal Court asking that United Fruit be ordered to take steps to "establish effective competition in the banana industry." Federal officials apparently viewed the suit as also serving another of scotching Communist propaganda claims the United States is interested only in shielding American business in Latin America. The headquarters in no time in denying the federal monopoly charges. Sam Baggett, the company's vice president and general counsel, issued a statement in New York in which he said United Fruit is convinced the action "is based upon incomplete or unreliable information and that the charges are groundless." The government suit accuses United Fruit of forcing out com- etition and of gaining control of nearly all Central American land used for growing bananas. It also contends United Fruit thus has managed to achieve dominance in he production, transportation and mportation of bananas. The Justice Department moved against the big fruit firm with a back-drop of government upheaval Guatemala, where United Fruit has operated on a large scale.

For the past two years, the company had been locked in a dispute with the Red-tinged Guatemalan overnment of President Jacobo Arbenz. which began expropriating United Fruit lands under an grarian reform law. The Arbenz regime now has been ousted by a Traffic Deaths Mount Slowly As Holiday Begins By The Associated Press Traffic deaths mounted slowly oday as missions of motorists hit he highways for the three-day uly 4 holiday. Only 22 traffic deaths had been eported during the first 16 hours the holiday which began at 6 local time Friday and will nd at midnight Monday. Four drownings and no miscellaneous accidental deaths were reported, for a total of 26 in, all types of mishaps.

Four died in a collision between an empty bus and a passenger automobile at Mahwah, N. for the biggest single traffic death toll reported thus far. The National Safety Council has estimated that 430 persons will be killed in traffic accidents during the three-day holiday. The council also estimated that 40 million cars will be on the roads. military junta.

It seemed to some American officials that the Arbenz government preferred to keep the dispute alive so it could be used as a propaganda weapon against the United States. The Justice Department suit evoked this comment by A. L. Bump, the Guatemalan manager of the United Fruit "These suits have been going on for a long time and have not proved we are a monopoly." Bump, who spoke out from Guatemala, said United Fruit has done much for the countries in which it operates. United Fruit's biggest activities are in Costa Rica, and Honduras, Guatemala ranks fourth.

A wag'e dispute with some 20,000 Honduran workers erupted into strike against United Fruit about six weeks ago. The situation there has been tense. The company came to terms with Costa Rica about a month ago, increasing its payments to that government. Tentative Agreement Reached. On Telephone Workers Strike NEW YORK (M A tentative agreement was reached early today between Western Electric Co.

and 17,000 CIO telephone equipment installers to end a nationwide walkout which started two days ago. Following a one-hour negotiating meeting, officials of the company and the CIO Communications Workers of America issued a joint statement saying: ''The parties are in tentative agreement and will meet today at noon, EDT to sign the contract, 'ollowing which time the terms of contract will be announced." There was no further comment from the union or management. The CWWA struck Thursday in 44 states and the District of Columbia TAXES (Continued from Page 1) come and deduct from his tax 10 per cent of such income above $100. Sen. George senior Senate Democrat among the conferees, predicted the administration would make eX'ery effort to get at least part of the House relief restored, because "they think this is the most vital part of the bill." George told a reporter he believed a likely outcome was restoration of the 5 per cent credit along with the $50 eclusion.

Democrats charged in the debate the section would be of benefit mainly to the wealthy. Republicans replied that it was a needed stimulus to get more capital for business through stock sales, and also would partially end what they termed double taxation resulting from taxes on both corporate profits and on the income of stockholders who are paid tho profits. Figrht May Be Renewed Sen. Humphrey (D-Minu), one of those xvho attacked the section, said in an interview the whole fight over the bill would be renewed if the conferees restore much of the divided income benefit. Most of the tax cuts in the bill would take effect this year and could be figured on the return filed next vear.

in a dispute over wsges, grievance machinery, and provisions covering the transfer of employes. Not affected by the walkout were Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Montana, where the phone companies do their own installation and maintenance work. The CWWA contract with Western Electric, manufacturing arm of the Bell Telephone System, expired May 2. Repeated negotiations failed to produce agreement. The CWA has demanded a six- to-eight-cent an hour pay boost, while the company has offered four to seven cents.

Current pay averages $1.86 an hour. There was no immediate effect on phone service and, with 80 per cent of the nation's phones on the dial system, the full impact of a long strike would not have been felt by home and office telephone users for some time. But some 300,000 phone operators are members of the and cross-country picketing would seriously disrupt long distance calls. GUATEMALA (Continued.from Page 1) in foreign embassies. From Mexico City came word the Peace' Committee of the Organization of American States had decided to return from there to Washington today without going on investigation.

The committee had to Guatemala for an on-the-spot intended to look into charges by Arbenz that Honduras and Nicaragua provided bases for aggression against Guatemala.
