Eisenhower's Trade All Out Of Step ANOTHER COMRADE BACKED THE
Programme May Be Delayed
Washington, Mar, 23.
The Secretary of State, Mr John Foster Dulles, Was warned today that Senate action on President Eisenhower's new low tariff programme would likely be delayed until Congress had full details of the new international trade organisation agreed to at Geneva.
This 34-nation trade body, named the Organi- sation for Trade Co-operation, was set up as a per- manent organisation to implement the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT); United States joined it two days ago.

WRONG HORSE Scientist Condemned For Suppressing Opponent's Theories
Moscow, Mar. 23.
The biologist Trofim Lysenko and other leading Soviet scientists have been condemned for hampering scientific progress by suppressing their opponents' theories and imposing their own.
A front page article in the newspaper Literary Gazette said that attempts to impose a "monopoly" in scientic ideas had led to the results of experiments being distorted to fit orthodox theories.
The article, signed by I. L. composition sclentlic per Kaunyants a member of thesonnel at biological institutes. Soviet Academy of Sciences. After that, at least unul 1954, and L.
