More Optimistic Ones
Hopeful for Easing
Of World Tension
By Eddy Gilmore

Associated Press Foreign CORRESPONDENT
MOSCOW, April 1.-THE
Soviet press reported President
Eisenhower's foreign policy
speech with unusual speed and
a lack of abuse.
Some of the foreign diplomats
in Moscow believe there is a
Text Of Eisenhower's Prosrom for Peoee

official answer to the President.
The more optimistic picture the
United States and the Soviet
Union as on the verge of easing
world tension and possibly set
tling some of their outstanding
differences.
Soviet Press Acts Quickly.
In 10 years of covering Moscow
news, this correspondent does
not recall any time when the
Soviet press acted so quickly as
in reporting Gen. Eisenhower's
address. Pravda appeared with
it's account only a few hours
after the President addressed the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors.
All papers published the same
story-a Tass dispatch from New
York-and Moscow radio read
the message several times.
Pravda gave it a prominent
place in it's foreign news page,
just below an account of United
Nations proceedings. The other
papers similarly used it in con-
spicuous positions.
Not Praised Nor Condemned.
Neither press nor radio praised
the Presidents speech, but nei-
ther did they condemn it out of
hand.
Commenting on it, Tass said
Gen. Eisenhower in blaming the
Soviet Union for the interna-
tional situation failed to cite any
facts to back up his contention.
The dispatch also accused the
President of by-passing China
and "re-establiShment of her
national rights" and the question
of a unified Germany as laid
down by the Potsdam agreement.
The papers were singularly
mild in comment, considering
some of the things Eisenhower
said.

Communists would insist on
forced repatriation, the very
issue that caused the armistice
talks to break down last Oc-
tober.

editorial in Peiping's World

JERUSALEM, April 17.-An

Mr.. Heifetz was struck Short

by German Composer Richard
Strauss. Strauss music is un-
welcome in Israel, because of
his work with the Nazis not long
after Adolf Hitler came to power.
Shortly after the attack on Mr..
HeifetZ, an anonymous caller
phoned the Voice of Israel radio
station and said the slugging was
carried out by Hanoar Haivri
(Hebrew Youth Movement). The
caller said Mr.. Heifetz had bet

would be repeated. Hanoar Hal

extremist, nationalist organiza-

was contained in hearings be-
fore a House Appropriations

pendent Offices bill, released

about 1000 jobs, including 300 in
Washington.
Housing and Home Finance

however, was the cut in operat-

trimmed the $175,00O request to
only $155,000.
Same Sum for Employees.
The cut gives the commission
the same amount appropriated
for the current year. It also
gives the same amount for en-

commission had asked $144, 900
for this purpose.
Several of the 10 additional
employees sought, officials said,
were to have worked mainly for
the new regional council.
The council, set up last year
in an act which reorganized the

on the original request. The cut.

a score of Independent boards

This meant cutting the budget
figures from $1.1 billion to $451

$721 million, the committee di-
rected the executive branch to
adopt policies which it said would

Poll Shows 1876
Plan 10 Quit if
DR.. Astin Leaves
Statement Promised
By Weeks; Hearings
Sturt Wednesday
By james E. Roper

A secret poll showed today
that the Bureau of Standards
may lose 396 employees if the
dismissal of DR.. Allen v. Astin
as bureau director goes in effect
at midnight.
Supporters of DR.. Astin, how
ever hoped Secretary of Com
merce Weeks would hold up the
custer until Congress has time
to investigate the row that
started over the merits of a bat
terry additive.
Secretary Weeks promised
statement "in the very near fu-
ture."
AS he appeared before the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors at the Statler Hotel, Sec
retary Weeks was asked:
Can you give us assurances
that the unpublished reasons for
DR.. Astin's resignation when pub
lished will provide an open-and-
shut case for the action?"
Secretary Weeks replied: "I
have no comment to make at
this time. I expect to have an
announcement in the very near
future"
Hearing Starts Wednesday.
Chairman Thye of the Senate
Small Business Committee an
nounced, meanwhile, that the
committee will begin public hear
ings on the Astin affair at 10
I'm. Wednesday. He invited DR..
Astin to be the first witness.
The alarming consequences of
a possible blowup at the Bureau
of Standards prompted repre-
sentatives of the bureaus II
technical divisions to confer Sc
cretly.
The division directors or their
representatives matched notes on
morale in their units and what
would happen unless the integ-
rity of the bureau and DR.. Astin
is vindicated. An official who
attended told The Star that the
division chiefs concluded they
eventually would lose 396 scien-
lists and top technicians.
These workers would leave the
bureau gradually over the next
few months. The division chiefs
said many of the departures
would be quiet, but could be
traced to the impact of the Astin
incident. The bureau unit
working on projects for the
Atomic Energy Commission
would be virtually destroyed.
The bureau has 1900 employees
Of all types.
One official said the poll was
intended to answer an anxious
inquiry of Senator Ellender,
Democrat, of Louisiana about
reports that designations of key
personnel may come. One
official said he hoped the poll
would not be interpreted as a
strike threat, but rather an ap-
praisal of the outlook at the
bureau.
Top Officials Not Told.
To try to head off political
repercussions. the division chiefs
repeatedly called their meeting
without the knowledge of DR..
Astin, Acting Director Wallace
r. Brode, or the two associate
directors. This group is still
trying to maintain calm rela-
tions with the Commerce De-
partment.
Secretary Weeks and Assistant
Secretary Craig r. Sheaffer
forced DR.. Astin to resign. They
charged that he and the bureau
were prejudiced when they re-
ported after tests that an addi-
tive, sold under the trade name
of AD-X2. failed to improve old
batteries being used for such
ordinary purposes as starting au-
tomobile engines.
The bureau is completing an
exhaustive report on another
series of tests on the additive.
