Boost by State Legislature Tops
This Year's outlay by $2,470,996
The University yesterday announced a general fund operating
budget for 1954-55 of $26,876,996.
That's $2,470,996 more than the 1953-54 budget with the increase
coming chiefly from a boost in the appropriation made by the state
Legislature.
The Legislature's grant for the coming year is $21,052,996 com-
pared to $18,796,000 for the year just ending.
Income from Student fees, based on an estimated resident credit
enrollment of 18,500 next fall,, is estimated at $5,444,800 as against
$5,230,000 this year. Other income of $379,200 from such sources as
interest on endowment, departmental income, and trdst funds is
expected.
Of the total budget of the yeneral fund, $21,944,960 will be spent
for salaries and wages and $4,932,036 will be allorated to depart-
Ike Foreign
Aid Budget
Cut by House
WSHINGTON (A - The House
Tuesday cut 102 million dollars
from President Eisenhower's "es-
sential" foreign aid program while
tentatively approving without fur-
ther change the major portions of
the 3 -billion-dollar measure.
The House also approved an
amendment calling on the Presi-
dent to withhold special funds from
any nation joining the type of
Asian nonaggression pact which
the British have proposed.
A final vote on the measure was
put over until Wednesday.
Millions Sliced
The House Foreign Affairs Com-
mittee sliced. only seven million
dollars from President Eisenhow-
er's requests for $3,477,608,000 in
military and economic aid for the
year beginning July 1.
The House, on Republican mo-
tions, cut off an additional 27 mil-
lion dollars, earmarked for the de-
velopment of special weapons in
Europe, and 75 million dollars to
3 continue the production of British
military aircraft.
The House beat down attempts to
eliminate the special 800 million
dollar fund for Asia and 85 mil-
lion for development aid to India.
The section aimed at the Locar-
no-type nonaggression pacts sug-
gested by -the British was ap-
proved earlier in the day by the
House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Rep. Vorys (R-Ohior, who spon-
sored the restrictive clause, said
its purpose was to prevent the
creation of nonaggression treaties
between the small countries of
Southeast Asia and the Communist
giant to the north, Red China.
British Plan
British Foreign Secretary An-
thony Eden has suggested that the
area enter into a series of pacts
with the Communists similar to the
Locarno agrements which main-
tained an uneasy peace in Europe
for a time after 1925. Congression-
al critics of this plan say it would
amount to guaranteeing Communist
ascendancy indefinitely in coun-
tries the Reds have taken over.
Vorys reported the Foreign Af-
fairs Committee approved "by af
very substantial vote" his proposal
5 that "it is the sense of Congress"
that none of the 800 million dollars
budgeted for special aid to South-
east Asia "shall be used on behalf
of governments which are com-
mitted by treaty to maintain Com-
munist rule over any defined terri-
tor of Asia."
Te proposal was to be pushedj
as an amendment to the foreign
aid bill when the House proceeds
to a series of test votes later in
tihe debate.
The 800-million-dollar special
fund is earmarked for the struggle
against the Communists in Indo-
china, but the President would be
given authority to use it elsewhere
in Asia. Thus if the French succed
in getting a cease-fire in Indo-
china, the money might be allotted
to the British or their allies in
Malaya.

Final Ruling
Passed On
Scientist
OppenheimerHit
By 4-1 AEC Vote
WASHINGTON tfP-A 4-1 vote by
the Atomic Energy Commission
Tuesday ruled finally and definite-
ly that atomic scientist J. Robert
Oppenheimer shall be denied ac-
cess to government secrets.
The four commissioners ruled
against him,( in large part be-
cause of "his persistent and con-
tinuing association with Commu-
nists." The fourth, Thomas E. Mur-
ray said "Dr. Oppenheimer was
disloyal" in the sense that he dis-
regarded se cu r it y regulations
which restrict the associations of
a man in such a sensitive posi-
tion.
' The lone voteupholding Oppen-
heimer came from Dr. Henry D.
Smyth, Princeton scientist who
worked with him in Oppenheimer's
wartime task of developing the A-
bomb. Said Smyth: "He is com-
pletely loyal and I do not believe
he is a security risk."
It was the end of the road for
Oppenheimer's lawyer - backed ef-
forts to be restored to access to
the restricted data of the AEC. Its
procedures allow for no further
appeal.
Oppenheimer said through his
lawyer in New York that "The
report of the Atomic Energy Com-
mission was released to the press
before I saw it. I was informed
of the nature of its findings by
Gen. Nichols. I shall need to read
and examine the statements before
I can comment."
Nichols is K. D. Nichols, gen-
eral manager of the AEC. Oppen-
heimer's Washington lawyers said
the AEC had explained that a
courier taking the decision to Op-
penheimer had missed his plane.
The three commissioners who
signed the majority report were
Chairman Lewis ,L. Strauss, for-
mer New York banker and an ad-
miral in World War II: Eugene M.
Zuckert, former Harvard professor
and former assistant secretary of
the Air Force, and Joseph Camp-
bell, former accountant and Co-
lumbia University administrator.
Commissioner Murray, a former
New York businessman, signed an
opinion concurring with the ma-
jority, but based on different rea-
soning.
Oppenheimer's case reached the
AEC by appeal from the 2-1 de-
cision of a special Security Board
which held hearings on the case
and reported May 27 that the
scientist, while loyal and discreet
was a security risk to w homdaat
was a security risk to whom data
should not be made available.
The Security Board took testi-
mony bearing on Oppenheimer's
admitted lack of enthusiasm for
the hydrogen bomb in its embry-
onic stages, but that played no
part in Tuesday's decision to bar
him from restricted data, the com-
missioners said. It was recalled
there was a debate within the gov-
ernment as to wisdom of the H-
bomb program, and "in this de-
bate Dr. Oppenheimer was, of'
course, entitled to his opinion."
The Strauss-Zuckert-Campbell
majority report Tuesday said the
law requires the AEC to inquire
into the "character, associations,
and loyalty" of the people who
work for the commission, and con-
tinued:
"Disloyalty would be one basis
for disqualification, but it is only
one.
"Substantial defects of charac-
ter and imprudent and dangerous
associations, particularly w i t h
known subversives who place the
interests of foreign powers above
those of the United States, are also
reasons for disqualification.
"We find Dr. Oppenheimer is not
entitled to the continued confidence
of the government and of this com-
mission because of the proof of
fundamental defects in his 'char-
acter.' "

their conferences with a hearty

"Goodbye again," Eisenhower
called out with a smile as Church-

The final Eisenhower-Churchill
meeting wound up a confidential
series of talks which apparently
has narrowed the Far East split in
British-American policy but fail-
ed to patch up a continuing con-
flict in views about the Indochina
crisis.
The six-point declaration, joint-
ly signed by the President and
Churchill, set forth these princi-
ples their governments intent to
uphold:
1-"In intimate comradeship
oshey will continue united ef-
forts to secure world peace
based upon the Atlantic Char-
ter which we affirm."
2-Tigether and individually,
they will continue to hold out the
"hands of friendship" to all na-
tions which "by solemn pledge and
deed" demonstrate their desire for
just peace.
3-Both will use "every peace-
ful means" to secure indepen-
dence for countries whose peo-
ples "desire and are capable of
sustaining" it.
4-World peace can be advanced
"by general and drastic reductions
under effective safeguards" of all
world armaments.
5-They jointly urge establish-
ment of new associations of ap-
propriate nations dedicated to pre-
serving world peace and independ-
ence.
6-Along with like-minded na-
tions they promised to develop and
maintain the necessary economic,
military and spiritual strength to
live peacefully and to promote
"fuller and freer interchange
among us of goods and services"
benefiting all peoples.

KANSAS CITY (M-"Well, doctor,
I'm over the hump. We have this
thing whipped," Harry S. Truman
told his physician Tuesday.
The former President, who had
his appendix and gall bladder re-
moved June 20, was reported
greatly improved Tuesday after
his condition took a turn for the
worse last Saturday.
Dr. Wallace Graham said "Mr.
Truman's condition is no longer
critical. His condition is fair, but
guarded."
Dr. Graham said the chief prob-
lem now is Truman's resistance to
a post-operative form of bacteria.
"I wouldn't want to disclose the
type of bacteria involved," Dr.
Graham said. "I don't feel free to
do that but there is no sign of
malignancy. We know the bacteria
we're fighting and we have the
specific medicants to combat it.
Whether or not we can overcome
this with medicants, we feel that
Mr. Truman can overcome the
bacteria himself."
Dr. Graham said the former
President was surprised when he
saw three doctors and' a nurse at
his bedside this morning.

around me," he told Dr. Graham,

FERRARA, Italy - Two thou-

over the feeding and watering of
starving cattle yesterday in Fer-

Strikers who have battled with
police for two months, cut ditches
across roads, broken dikes to flood
farmlands and dumped crude oil
into livestock wells, watched in
silence.
Owners of the 4 000 farms are
affected by the strike of 100,000
farm workers, who are asking that
their pay of $30 a month be in-
creased by $2.75.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands -
Indonesia's foreign minister said
yesterday continued Dutch control
of Western New Guinea would be
a threat to peace in Asia, Aus-

The foreign minister, Dr. Sun-

and Indonesian representatives
convened in a closed session con-
ference aimed at liquidating the
5-year-ol dloose union lining their
countries. Indonesia was formerly
the Dutch East Indies.
Western New Guinet is the only
territory in the area which The
Netherlands still controls. The
Eastern part of the island is under
Australian rule.
Secret Meet
Of Monzon
And Armos
Regime Lasts
Only 48 Hours
GUATEMALA M - The Guate-
malan fighting stopped Tuesday
while a new hours-old military re-
gime here sought peace with the
anti-Communist field forces led by
Col. Carlos Castillo Armas.
Secrecy surrounded the peace
negotiations but a report, in mid-
afternoon said Castillo Armas and
Col. Elfego Monzon, head of the
regime here, were due to meet
later in the day. Both are ardent
anti-Communists.
Armistice Prevails
(Guatemala radio reports herd
in neighboring countries Tuesday
night said an armistice prevails
while the negotiations are being
carried on.)
The first reports of negotiations
did not say where or when Castillo
Armas and Monzon were meeting.
(Reports in Washington said Cas-
tillo Armas and Monzon or his
representative were expected to
meet in San Salvador, El Salva-
dor-neutral territory.)
The third Guatemala City regime
in less than 48 hours began peace
efforts immediately after moving
into power Tuesday morning in an
effort to end the 12-day-old battle.
Monzon had been in charge of
the Interior Ministry, including the
police, for a military junta led by
Col. Carlos Enrique Diaz. The Diaz
junta, which lasted only a day,
had ousted the Communist-support-
ed regime of President Jacobo Ar-
benz Guzman Sunday night.
The new junta is composed of
men between 34 and 40. It said
the Diaz regime, while outlawing
communism by decree Monday
really was helping Communists
who had been powerful under Ar-
benz escape the country.
Monzon's group said it was will-
ing to include rebl leader Castillo
Armas in its ruling board.
There was some feeling here
that Castillo Armas still may de-
mand nothing short of uncondi-
tional surrender and that he may
have the power to enforce it. Oth-
ers in the capital believe the rebel
leader may go along with the new
junta for the sake of peace and
security.
All the political prisoners the
Arbenz regime had arrested, in-
cluding some leading anti-Commu-
nists were freed Tuesday.
One-Day Regime
The one-day Diaz regime was
being criticized Tuesday for its
policies. One of the things it prom-
ised to do but did not carry out
was lifting of censorship.
While there was not much hope
that Monzon would lift censorship
immediately, there was hope he
might at least improve censorship
conditions for newsmen.
While the new regime was tak-
ing power, Rafael Alvarado, Gua-
temalan ambassador to Mexico,
said Arbenz had reached San Sal-
vador, El Salvador, on his way
to exile in Argentina. His wife and
son earlier were reported to have
sought refuge in the Argentine Em-
bassy in Guatemala City.
It was anybody's guess about
what will happen next in Gutema-
la. But there was little doubt a
military junta of some form would
continue for several months. A
general election would come later.
