|of the Czechoslovakian Embassy

lmittee by Joseph Molnar. a young

|nesSes testified that subversive
activities in this country are di-
rected by iron curtain country
representatives operating under

a Shocking and alarming" situa-
ton and demanded in a statement
that the State and Justice De-
partments invoke the McCarran
Anti-Subversives Act to rid the
Nation of these treacherous
aliens"

nesses-Czech- born Pavlina Svo-
boda. former employe of the Czech
Embassy, and Matthew Cvetic of

parties.

their homosexuality.
"At none Of these parties were
there any female guests present.
The men embraced each other and
helped each other take off their
coats"
Meanwhile. liquor flowed freely.
MIR. Molnar said, and his diplomat
host would turn the conversation
to politics when the men became
sufficiently intoxicated"
Then the envoy would write a
detailed report which he delivered

Senator Russell Beats

FIorida's S Primary
Victory for Georeion
Moves Him Aheud Of
Hurrimun in Contest
By Don Whitehead
Assoeinfad Press Stuff Writer

MIAMI, Fla, May Ex-senator
Russell of Georgia appeared to-
day to have clinched a 19-to-5
victory over Senator Kefauver of
Tennessee in their contest for
Florida's "a votes in the Demo-
cratic nominating convention.
With three-fourths of the
States 1852 precincts counted, the
pattern of voting in yesterdays
primary looked like it was fixed
and could be changed only by an
unusual shift in the trend.
Slow returns pointed to an ap-
parent certainty that Senator
Russell hackers had swept IA of
the Is congressional district dele
gate seats and had captured five
of the eight delegate-at-large
posts.
Senator Kefauver had taken an
early lead in first returns last
night largely on the strength of
the top-heavy vote his delegate
candidates received in Dade
(Miam) County. But then Rus
sell forged to the front on later
returns.
Senator Russell increased his
lead when reports at daybreak
showed that his at-large candi-
date, Mrs. M. B. Fuller of Bum
nell. had taken the lead from a
Kefauver candidate, Ann B. Miller
Of Tampa.
Nineteen convention delegates
from Florida would boost Senator
Russell's total in the Associated
Press tabulation of delegates to
8612. Five for Senator Kefauver,
still the top man, would make his
total 122. w. Averell Hartman of
New York would slip from second
place to third, with 851a.

They failed yesterday, IS to

in addition to the $1-billion cut
two committees made before re-
porting the bill.
With an agreement limiting de-

bill this afternoon. It would then

|mittee for final agreement. The
House last week cut the program
to about $6.1 billion. The Presi-
dent asked for $7.9 billion.
Mutual Security Director w.
Averell Hartman said last night
this is no time for a reckless slash
in American aid, just when West
ern Germany and five other free
nations in Europe are forming a
united defense command.
II cannot believe the American
people want to barter their Sc
curity for phony economy" said
Mr.. Hartman.
Senator Douglas told the SEN
ate, however, that imitation result
ing from unbalanced budgets could
destroy this country without an
other war. He said Congress must
keep an eye on both dangers
communism from without and eco
nomic collapse from within.
Senator Holland, Democrat, OF
Florida said he feared a Senate
vote for another substantial cut
would be construed abroad as

the Senate to consider, however,

In that event, he asked. "Are we

Defense Waste
Of SO Billion
Faster Production
Of Weapons Urged
At Senute Heurinq
By the Assoeio,ed pre.s


Bernard M. Baruch told Senators
today that more than $40 billion
Tls being wasted on the defense
program because of what he called
needless imitation.
He urged a broad overhauling of
the multi-billion- dollar defense
effort with emphasis on faster
production of aircraft, tanks, guns,
and other weapons of war.
Mr.. Baruch. 81-year -old finan-
cier and ex-adviser to Presidents,
testified at an open hearing of the
Senate Preparedness Subcommit-
tee.
Mr.. Baruch joined forces with
members of Congress who have
been urging greater air power, to
match and outstrip Russia's.
Through a series of questions,
Mr.. Baruch took pot shots at
President Truman, the State De-
partment and others on diplo-
matte. defense and domestic
issues.
Assails Delay on Program.
Without mentioning Mr.. Tru-
man by name, Mr.. Baruch pro-
tested the White House decision
to delay or stretch out the pro-
gram for a 143-wing Air Force.
And he opposed bringing West
ern Germany into the North At
lantic Treaty Organization until
Western Europe is armed and able
ito forestall any Soviet COUP"
ITO slow the rearming of West
ern Europe and at the same time
begin negotiations over Germany
is to put not one foot, but both
feet into a Soviet trap" Mr..
Baruch said.
He also questioned the admin
istration decision to build up pro-
ductive capacity Of aircraft, gun,
ammunition and other defense
plants rather than speed produc-
ton of the actual weapons.
mo decisive victory in the cold
war is possible as long as the
Soviets hold as terrifying an edge
in military readiness over the
West as they do today" he said
Blames Inaction ON Controls.
Mr.. Baruch said the waste of
defense billions resulted from fail
ure to put In operation the vast
system Of anti-inflation controls
that Congress voted after the
Korean outbreak.
These powers were not used
for months during which living
costs scared. all savings were
cheapened and the real purchasing
power of every defense dollar was
slashed by one-flfth." he said,
adding:
This needless imitation already
has cost us $12 billion in higher
costs of defense and is likely to
exact another $40 billion in need
less tribute over the. next fiscal
year.
Looking ahead, Mr.. Baruch
urged Congress to trim out all
possible unnecessary and post
ponable expenditures" But, he
added:
When you live under the shad-
ow OF war, as we do today, all
actions must be valued, in terms
of time"
Soviet Seen Near Peak.
Mr.. Baruch said the Nations
top military experts estimate that
Soviet atomic and air power will
be at a peak during the next
two years.
Mr.. Baruch urged the Senate,
as has President Truman, to re-
store cuts made by the House in
the big defense money bill and
to remove a $46 billion spending
limit.
Turning to defense planning,
Mr.. Baruch said: -
IF all-out war does come, much
or our plant capacity might be
destroyed in an atomic blitz. The
dangers of sabotage in such a
conflict would be much greater
than during the last war;"
