Woman Sets Five Fires
In White House and
Executive Offices
WASHINGTON, MV-A middle
aged woman, who said she ‘‘had a
lot of trash and just wanted to
bum it,” set a small fire in the
White House yesterday and four
more in executive .offices across
the street.
She was apprehended by a
■woman detective while setting the
fifth fire.
None of the blazes caused any
major damage.
The fires were all quickly
smothered and caused almost no
excitement. Guards said appar
ently none of the nearly 7,000 vis
itors who filed through the White
House yesterday was aware of
any disturbance.
The woman, Mrs. Julia M.
Chase, 53, was sent to a hospital
for observation.

Congress Would
Be Consulted
In Case of War
By Marvin L. Arrowsmiih
WASHINGTON, UP>—President
Eisenhower said today he would
never order American troops into
any kind of action which could be
interpreted as war without prior
approval by Congress.
Eisenhower told a news confer
ence that of course there might
come a time when it would be
necessary for U.S. troops to de
fend themselves in a local action.
He made it plain under such
circumstances the troops would
defend themselves but he said
emphatically that would not be
war.
Eisenhower reacted sharply
when a reporter asked whether he
might order those U.S. marines
who were recently sent to the
Middle East into war if he thought
the circumstances warranted it,
and without getting the approval
of Congress first.
A reinforced battalion of ma
rines, about 1,500 men, was sent
last month to join the 6th Fleet in
the Mediterranean.
With a show of exasperation,
Eisenhower told his questioner
sometimes he gets discouraged.
Then he added he has said time
and time and time again he never
would engage American troops in
any kind of action which could be
interpreted as war without getting
a go-ahead first from Congress.
For war, Eisenhower said force
fully you need money and a draft
! law. Actually, there already is a
I draft law on the books.

President Not Expected To Use
U.S. Armed Forces In The Middle
East Without Congress’ Approval
WASHINGTON, UPC- Secretary |
Dulles said Tuesday he thought j
President Eisenhower would not i
expect to use American armed i
forces in the Middle East without
congressional approval unless a
sudden emergency made it im
practical to go to Congress.
The Secretary of State told a
news conference the administra
tion does not foresee any such
emergency, and does not have any
plan to ask Congress for standby
authority to use American troops
in the Middle East.
The significance of his state- j
ment was that it established the
principle that if a crisis requir
ing the use of U.S. forces was
anticipated the President would
go to Congress for authority to
use them.
Dulles also established public
ly the possibility the administra
tion might use American forces in
the Middle East in an emergency
without the formal authorization
by Congress.
Every time he spoke of the pos
sibility of going to Congress, he
specified: time would not permit
this if an unforeseen emergency
suddenly arose.
Dulles also told his news con
ference U.S. policy on the sale of
arms to Israel remains what it
was when he explained it to the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee a month ago—that is, no
sale of substantial quantities of
weapons at this time. This means
that Israel’s request has neither
been turned down nor approved.
The secretary also said he be
lieves the problems of continuing
to station U.S. military forces in
Iceland can be worked out al
though the Icelandic parliament
last week called *for the with
drawal of foreign troops. Dulles
said the parliament’s resolution
was simply an expression/ of an
understandable desire to reduce
foreign troops to a minimum.
