^/eWASHINGTON
MARCH OF EVENTS —
U. S. Fleet Stands By Ready to Implement
In Mediterranean Sea I ‘Eisenhower Doctrine’
Special to Central Press Association
TV/ASHINGTON—The U. S. Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean is
>V at full combat strength and ready to implement the “Eisen
hower Doctrine” pledging military resistance to any Soviet aggres
sion in the Middle East.
Vice Adm. Charles R. Brown, the Sixth Fleet commander, reported
recently to his superiors in Washington that he is able to unleash
sufficient power to quell any conceivable hostilities in any of the
U.S.S. Forrestal
the Mediterranean area have "live” atomic artil
lery shells. Pate discussed the subject in an interview in which he
said he was merely trying to indicate that the Marines are prepared
for atomic war.
The commandant was summoned to the office of Deputy Defense
Secretary Reuben Robertson after his remarks were published and
when he left, he was openly embarrassed.
The embarrassment stemmed from assertions by high defense
officials that the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, and directives issued
by Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson, specifically forbid giving
the location of atomic explosives.
• FOREIGN AlD—Chances are that President Eisenhower will get.
most of the foreign aid program he asks from the new session of
Congress but only after some prolonged discussion. The administra
tion is expected to request a new aid program of about $4.4 billion—
a half billion less than Ike asked in 1955 but slightly more than
Congress actually voted.
The House and Senate are sure to make at least a smell cut in
this year's request, too, although no one expects any drastic re
duction. The result will be that Ike gets pretty close to his request.
The legislators also will have a long, hard look at the proposed new
program. Many members of Congress say they feel it’s time to start
cutting back on the aid program.
• DOMESTIC PROBLEMS—Probably the biggest domestic iesue
before the new session will be the school constmction aid bill. Al
though both parties endorsed such legislation in the 1956 campaign,
the same problem that plagued it last year—the school integration
issue—will bob up again.
Southern legislators are likely to demand safeguards against any
withholding of money to schools still segregated
and such proposals will run up against a storm of s au »h. rn ..
northern opposition. wurnerner*

Another politically touchy issue is that of postal rates The ad- I
ministration is pushing hard for an increase in rates, wrth a promise
of greatly improved service if the request is granted. However,
most congressman would prefer to even vote a tax hike rather than

The fleet’s aircraft carriers, soon to be spear
headed by the 60,000-ton Forrestal, bristle with
atom bomb carrying Skyraiders and Skywarriors,
both long-range aircraft which can reach any
point in the eastern Mediterranean area.
Marine battalions attached to the fleet reported
ly are equipped with atomic rockets and other
super-artillery which would give them the most
explosive punch ever boasted by an American
punitive force if they were called into action.
