Soviet Military Expense
Put al S45 Billion a Year
~ ,he A,,oeio,.d Pres.

NEW YORK. June Russia
is spending s45 billion q year
for military purposes - more
than all Of the Western powers
combined. says Navy Comdr. Will
liam T. Greenhalgh.
Comdr. Greenhalgh, staff mem
ber of the Industrial College OF
the United States Armed Forces,
spoke yesterday at an economic
mobilization course for business
men and members Of the Armed
Forces Reserve.
In an analysis of Russian mill
tary expenditures, he noted that
the Soviet Union officially put its
military budget at 70 billion ru-
bles (s20 billion at the new rate)
or about 10 per cent Of the total
budget.
These figures, he said, are mis-
leading.
He said Russia budgeted atomic
research under an education
heading, aircraft and components
under industrial production, and
other military work under various
headings of civilian construction.
"The real figure for military
expenditures" he said. sis 180
billion rubles. or slightly over IS
billion United States dollars at
the new rate. It is greater than
the annual military expenditures
of all the Western powers COM
bined."

He did not specify how the Chi

/. Twice-a-year Security Coun-
Gil meetings, secret if necessary,
attended by heads Of govern

situations.
2. New effort for atomic energy

use and promote use for peace.
8. New attempt to control other
weapons of mass destruction and
conventional armaments.
4. New attempt to provide the
Security Council with its own
armed forces. ,as..r III

7. Greater use of the 13 U. N.

8. Widen respect for human
rights and fundamental freedoms.
9. Advance colonial and semi
colonial peoples toward equality.
10. Use U. NJ charter powers to
speed up world law for a one
world society.
Regional Groups Hit.
Mr.. Lie slapped at regional
groupings. He did not say whether
he meant the North Atlantic pact
or the Soviet economic or political
block. Most speculation here was
that he meant the Atlantic Coun-
Gil which Secretary of State
Acheson said last week really
strengthened the U. NJ. because it
strengthened a component part.
Mr.. Lie said such groups can
not alone bring any reliable
security from the prospect of
war"

In Warsaw Embassy Staff

The United States has ordered
its Embassy staff in Poland re-
duced approximately one-third.
Secretary Of State Acheson saio
today.
He told q news conference that
the reduction was ordered after a
careful review showed that the

its functions under present con-
ditions in Poland. He told a cues
toner that the reduction was not
the result of a Polish demand.
American diplomatic STATS in
several Of the Communist coun-
tries OF Eastern Europe have been
reduced recently as a result of
both pressure by the Communist
governments and restrictions that

before it's walkout on the China
issue.
Soviet delegates have boycotted
U. N. meetings for several months
because the Chinese Nationalist
representatives were not ousted
and Chinese Communist delegates
seated. Mr.. Acheson said that
Soviet refusal to accept majority
decisions by the U. N. bodies CON
stltutes boycott and unwar-
ranted attempt at coercion" He
said the United States will accept
any majority decision, will not use
its veto in the Security Council
and will not try to influence other
nations in their votes.
''No Magic Can Remove Tensions"
Commenting specifically on Mr..
Lies statement that reopening Of
negotiations on outstanding issues
is possible, Mr.. Acheson said:
There is no magic which can
remove suddenly the tensions
which now exist.
LAS I have said before, the free
nations of the world have a hard
task ahead of them so long as
the Soviet government continues
its present policies.
2 I'VE can't afford to wait and
merely hope that these policies
will change. We must carry for
ward in our own determination to
create situations of strength in
the free world because this Is
the only basis on which lasting
agreement with the Soviet gov-
ernment is possible"
Mr.. Acheson said, however. that
he thought it is proper for Mr.
Lie to take whatever steps he
thinks desirable to reduce the
existing tensions in the world

general occupies q unique po-
sition and deserves our encour-

West.
Gen. Bradley had said that re-
arming Western Germany would
strengthen the West from a
strictly military point of view"
Mr.. Acheson told reporters that
Gen. Bradley had made it quite
clear that he is not advocating re-
arming the Germans-and that
his opinion was strictly a military
judgment. J
He said the Western powers
must go forward with their plans
ito create conditions of strength"
against Russian expansionist
pressures.
In the Senate a commission to
study the problem of continuing
foreign aid after the European
Recovery Program closes was pro-
posed today by two Republican
Senators.
Senators Saltonstall of Massa-
chusetts and Smith of New Jer-
sey suggested a commission study
as Senator Mcmahon, Democrat,
Of Connecticut, asked for early
hearings on resolution calling
for special session of the United
Nations Assembly to discuss world
wide disarmament.
Under the SaltonStall-Smith
proposal, the President. Vice Pres
ident and House Speaker each
would appoint four persons to the
study commiSsion-two each from
private life and two from the
branch of the Government they
represent.
Senator Saltonstall said he and
Senator Smith proposed that a
commission be set up by act of
Congress similar in form to that
which we all know as the Hoover
Commission"-the group on gov
ernmental reorganization which
was headed by former President
Herbert Hoover.
