Edgar A. Cruise, USN. McCarthy's Bid To Defy President WASHINGTON (P)—Sen. Stuart Symington said today Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy's bid for federal workers to defy the President and give him secret information would destroy the nation's security. The Missouri Democrat spoke as McCarthy appeared willing to battle the whole Eisenhower administration. He invited government employees to furnish him information despite presidential directives. "This is the decision," said Symington, who tangled with McCarthy Friday in the Senate Investigating Subcommittee. It's developing into a clear-cut issue as to the positions of the executive and legislative branches." "You just couldn't run our Defense Department under McCarthy's rules," said Symington, a former secretary of the Air Force. "From the standpoint of the Defense Department, you just wouldn't have any American security." But McCarthy renewed his bid for information in the televised hearings Friday in the face of a White House statement that anyone who sought to override presidential secrecy orders was trying "to set himself above the laws of our land." The Wisconsin Republican said he intends to get information about Communism and corruption from anyone he can, and he promised to protect his informants "to the fullest." Temporary Chairman Karl E. Mundt R-SD backed up McCarthy's stand. Mundt said most congressional investigations start from classified information leaked by government employees and he doesn't care if President Eisenhower did call it reprehensible. "That's the way you play the game," Mundt told reporters. Mr. Eisenhower told a news conference May 12 that it was reprehensible for any officer or civilian to give away information involving national security. Republicans on the subcommittee voted Wednesday, over Symington's cries of "whitewash" to dismiss charges against Asst. Defense Secretary H. Struve Hensel and McCarthy's staff director Francis P. Carr.

A second French column sliced into the Khenon Mountains southeast of Phu Ly to seal off roads used by the Communists to reinforce their attack on Penphu.

County Rejects Per-Capita Plan for Alloting Gas Tax Funds to Cities SANTA ANA — Supervisors will allot some gasoline tax funds to the cities "on a cooperative basis" of projects to be done, and will levy a county road tax on rural districts again, it was disclosed at a special budget hearing. The supervisors did not say how much they would be willing to allocate to the cities for work on city streets of major importance, but they rejected plea of the municipalities for allocation on basis of $1 per capita, or about $195,000 to be divided between the 15 cities. Nor did the board disclose how much of a road tax will be levied on rural districts — untaxed for 12 years for road purposes. A special committee from the Orange County League of Cities waited on the board to make the plea for the $195,000 allocation to the 15 cities. The group included City Manager George Coffey of Costa Mesa, City Administrator Keith Murdoch of Anaheim, City Administrator George N. Weimer of Orange, City Manager Carl Thornton of Santa Ana and City Councilman John L. McBride of Santa Ana. The amount to be set aside for the cities will be partly from maintenance and partly from construction funds earmarked by the Orange County Road Department, Chairman Willis H. Warner of the board disclosed. Chairman Warner asked the cities to submit their budget requests for county share of state collected gas tax funds at once, so that they can be considered in the current budget hearings. As spokesman for the supervisors, Warner said that he "is not averse to assisting" the cities but not on a basis of direct allocation. Rather, he was "willing to set aside a cooperative fund" for expenditure on city streets of major importance.
