Truman
Laments Cut
In Foreign Aid
Says Situation 'Serious'
-No Comment on Copper
Strike, 1952 Intentions
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30—(JV
President Truman said today the
Congressional effort to cut $1,000,
000,000 from his S8,5CO,OCO.COO for
eign aid request is misplaced ec
onomy when success of the pro
gram is in sight.
The President told a news con
ference that prospects of restor
ing the proposed cut looked rathe:
hopeless and it is a very serious
situation. He also told reporters:
Forces Stronger
1. United Nations forces in Ko-i
rea are stronger now than when
the Kaesong truce talks began.
2. The case of William N. Oatis,
Associated Press correspondent
imprisoned in Czechoslovakia on
spy charges, will never be closed
until the reporter gets out of Jail.
Asked if he intended to do
anything more to win approval
of his entire foreign aid propo
sal, the President said he has
done all lie possibly can. He ad
ded the situation looks rather
hopeless now.
The President would not com
ment on the nation-wide copper
stiike, pending receipt of a re
port on negotiations from the wage
stabilization board.
He described Moscow press re
ports accusing the United States
of trying to start World War III
as nothing newr. He added it isn’t
true of course, and, iike all the
rest of Soviet propaganda, it is
not founded on fact at all.
Won’t Talk
Once again, Mr. Truman refused
to be drawn out on his 1952 po
litical intentions. He was asked
about a magazine article by Jon
athan Daniels, editor of the Ral
eigh, N. C. News and Observer,
saying he will run again and will
poll at least 419 of the nation’s
531 electoral votes. A majority is
required for election.
The President smiled and re
plied that any American citizen
Is entitled to his opinion, but that
he has not expressed his own. He
said Daniels had not consulted
him and the guess is as good as
anybody’s.
U. S., Philippine
Defense Pad Signed
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30—^P1— The
United States and the Philippines
today bound themselves together in
a new defense pact pledging each to
help the other fight aggression.
Speaking at the signing ceremony,
President Truman called the treaty
a “strong step towards security and
a peace in the Pacific.”
“It demonstrates to all nations
that wc intend to continue our
common course and to work to
gether in the future, as we have
in the past, for peace for all man
kind,” Mr. Truman said.
The treaty, pledging the U. S
and Philippines to come to each
other's aid to meet common danger,
is the first of a series of defense
agreements designed to shore up
Pacific defenses against Communist
aggression.
The others, with Japan and
with New Zealand and Australia,
are to be signed in the next
two weeks.
Philippine President Quirino said
that while the new treaty has “un
avoidable connotations of military
action” it is “wholly dedicated tc
peace and to the methods of peace.”
Pressure Will Hot
Cause Czechs to
Yield: Ambassador
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 — <A>) —
Ambassador Vladimir Prochazka
said today Czechoslovakia ‘will not
yield to any propaganda or eco
nomic pressure” to free Associated
Press correspondent William N.
Oatis from prison.
Prochazka made that statement
to newsmen after a 30-minute con
ference with Secretary of State
Acheson.
“The Oatis case is closed,” he
said. .*
Asked whether this meant there
is no chance of freeing Oatis, the
ambassador replied, “no comment.”
He added:
“In no instance, either in the case
of trade or propaganda pressure, will
we be influenced.
“We will not yield.”
Secretary Acheson, he said, had
stated the American government’s
position on the Oatis case on talk
ing with him this afternoon.
Yesterday, President Truman
told the ambassador that releas
ing Oatis was the most important
thing Czechoslovakia could do at
this time to improve relations be
tween the two countries.
Oatis was sentenced to prison cn
charges of espionage. The State
Department has denounced his trial
as a fraud and farcial.

Pad on Pacific Fishing
Rights Under Preparation
For (L i, Canada, Japan
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30—'.T"—A*
State Department official said to
day the U.S. and Canada are pre
paring a proposed fisheries agree
ment with Japan to be negotiated
after the peace treaty is signed.
William B. Herrington, in charge
of the U.S. discussions with Canada,
told a reporter the two nations are
working on fisheries problems in
which the three nations are con
cerned.
Herrington continued that the
proposed agreement would attempt
to establish an organization
among the three countries “for
handling fishing matters and to
prevent any crises arising iTf ttiTin
as was the case during the 1930’s.”
Herrington declined to discuss de
tails of the proposed agreement.
The coming peace treaty provides
that Japan will enter into separate
agreements with signatory nations
concerning fisheries, shipping and
general commercial matters.
Senator Warren Magnuson ID
Wash) member of the Foreign
Commerce Committee, told a re
porter today he expected the
agreement between the three
countries to have the status of a
treaty requiring Senate approval,
that it will be concluded in Tokyo
within CO days after the San
Francisco peace meetings.
Magnuson said he felt the pact
should be signed in Seattle, which
he termed the “headquarters of
American Pacific ocean fishing in
terests.”
Magnuson said he is going to the
San Francisco peace meeting and
hopes to assist in expediting talks
with the Japanese about fisheries.
He indicated he felt the proposed
fisheries treaty as outlined by the
U.S. and Canada would include a
provision that each country recog
nises the "national fishing grounds
of the others.”
He said this means that the prac
tice of Americans fishing for sal
mon off Vancouver island would not
be disturbed. Also, he said, Jap
anese fishing in the tuna beds of
southeast Asia would be recognized.”|

'What happens when
Standard men go into
the armed forces?”
One question on many people’s minds these
days f's how military service may affect themselves or
people they know..: their jobs, their family security.
People ask us, of course, about what happens to em
ployees of Standard Oil Company of California.
The answer shows what a big company can do.
Standard Oilers come through this trying period
in better financial shape than you might expect:
Let’s take for example Bill,
an average young Standard Oiler.
He makes $3GS a month. He has
Company-paid life insurance
worth $4,420, a pension plan paid
partly by himself, other benefits.
Suppose Bill is called into the
armed forces. One problem a man
faces then is lower income. But be
cause Bill qualifies ns to depend
ents and length of service, he’ll he
helped by a Standard Plan.
When Bill leaves, he pels an ex
tra month’s pay. Then, Standard
sends liis family a monthly cheek
to make up the difference be
tween his(I l and Company pay —
up to one-half his regular salary.
Moreover, Bill’s Company life
insurance remains in force. And
the pension plan, which Bill paid
for in part while he was working,
continues to grow—but now
Standard of California pays it all.
When Bill comes back, his job
is waiting, his benefits are intact.
Standard, having big economic re
sources can act to preserve the
human resources of the nation...
peoplfe like Bill and his family.
■- wsr
This is Standard’s **G. I.
Policy” for qualified employees
called into the Armed Forces. Wo
believe it helps to strengthen
Company morale, and that of the
whole nation us well.
I’(L Like to KtlOW . . , Many people write to Standard asking
pertinent questions about the Company. We answer all letters individually,
but some points seem of general interest. We take this way of discussing
them for everyone. If you have a question, we urge you to write in care of:
