Ike-McCarthy 'Truce' Over Ship Agreements
Washington—(U.P.)-President Eisenhower maintained an uneasy truce between his administration and Joseph R. McCarthy today with a conciliatory stand on the senator's controversial ship agreements.
He told his weekly news conference it was all right with him if Sen. McCarthy wants to obtain informal promises from Greek shipers not to trade with Iron Curtain countries.
He said he did not believe the Wisconsin Republican intended to negotiate formal agreements on behalf of the government which he had neither the right nor power to conclude.
Mr. Eisenhower made the statements late yesterday in an obvious attempt to prevent an open break with Sen. McCarthy that might damage Republican party harmony and the administration's relations with Congress.
Sen. McCarthy drew charges that he was invading the foreign policy field when he announced Saturday that his permanent investigating subcommittee had obtained an agreement from Greek shippers in New York not to trade with communist countries.
He revealed yesterday that another shipowner "from abroad" had come through with a similar pledge.
Even if these deals were a mistake, the president said he doubted they undermined American foreign policy because they were not backed by the full power and prestige of the federal government.
Mr. Eisenhower conceded he might be differing with his foreign aid chief Harold E. Stasson who charged that Sen. McCarthy's action "undermined" government efforts to cut off strategic trade to the Soviet bloc.
Ammo No Factor, Taylor Declares
Seoul, Koven—(U.P.)-Lt. Gen, Maxwell Taylor said today ammunition "absolutely was not a factor" in the loss of Old Baldy to the Chinese Communists last week.
The 8th Army commander was referring to a statement in Washington Wednesday by Gen James A. Van Fleet, his predecessor, that lack of allied artillery fire may have helped cause the loss of Old Baldy.
Through a spokesman, Gen. Taylor said the rate of Allied fire "never had to be decreased."
Too Many Women Haters
Silver Spring, Md.—(U.P.) The Board of Trade Agreed by voice vote to admit women to membership. Then an opponent of the idea called for a secret ballot. There were 59 members present with 39 votes required for approval. On the secret ballot the gals received only 31 votes.
British Believe Red Offer Valid
London — (U.P.) – Sir Alvary Gascogne, British ambassador to Moscow, has urged the government to give vigilant consideration to Russia's new "peace" moves, reliable sources said today.
Sir Gascoigne, at a series of highlevel diplomatic conferences here this week, is understood to have said that caution should be maintained in assessing Soviet long term policy.
But it is reported that he has suggested that the current Soviet moves toward peace are not mere propaganda.
The British government is reported to be sufficiently impressed with developments to believe that a step-by-step settlement of individual issues with Russia may now be practicable.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden are understood to be ready, like President Dwight. D.. Eisenhower, to meet half way any Russian move to lessen tension.
When Sir Gascoigne goes back to Moscow next week, he will carry new instructions from his government.
