GOP Demands
Show-DoWn On
U.S. Foreign Policy
WASHINGTON, </P) — Senator
Douglas (D.-Ill.) called today for
a Senate showdown on foreign
policy. Republican leaders de
manded broadening of the anti
I communist front to include Span
ish, West German and Chinese
Nationalist troops.
In advance of a planned foreign
policy speech by Senator Taft of
Ohio, chairman o fthe Republican
policy committee, Douglas told a
reporter he thinks the Senate
should make a binding choice
among three courses open to the
nation.
He said these would include (1)
Concentration on Western Hemi
sphere defenses as former Presi
dent Hoover suggested; (2) Fight
ing only to save Western Europe
or (3) Rattling aggression in every
critical area where anti-commun
. % • * >* »f - • ■ • . / ? ■
ist allies* can be found.
While he said he favors the
third effort, Douglas said he was
willing to bind himself to support
whatever course a majority of the
Senate approves.
“The issues should be clearly
• * • •• - ■ \
stated and we should have a bind
1 ing vote on the matter,” he said.
“We should have the mature judg
ment of the Senate on the course
to be followed.”

Folta Rules Against
Employment
Security Cpmjn’n
JUNEAU, (JP)— Federal Judge
George Folta ruled Wednesday
j in favor of two employers in a
suit against the employment se
curity commission over “experi
ence rating” credits.
The plaintiffs were the New
England Fish and Wards Cove
t packing companies.
The decision will require the
commission to issue credits to em
ployers so they may apply the
. credits on payments due under
the unemployment compensation
program. ^
The credits accrue to employers
I in types of business or industry
where unemployment is low so
that the funds paid in toy employ
ers exceed the amount adjudged
necessary to meet needs. The em

ployers then can apply the credits
against payments due, 'thereby re
ducing their payments into the un
employment fund.
The court ruled that the com
mission had assumed legislative
powers in construing the aet so as
to cut off credits.
Funds available for such credits
to employers <in the Territory
from July 1, I960, are reported to
total $882,311.
