sy the A,.oeio,ed Press

cHERBOURG, France, Mar.
21.-Andrei Y. Vishinsky headed
for New York and the United
Nations tonight as the first top
flight Soviet diplomat to emerge
from behind the Iron Curtain
since Georgi Malenkov sue
ceeded Joseph Stain IN the
Kremlin. ;.
Mr.. Vishinsky'S return to the
U. N. is awaited eagerly by the
Western Powers for answers to
their challenges to the regime
Of Prime Minister Malenkov to
match peace talk with earnest
action for peace in Korea and
elsewhere.
With some skepticism, some
Western observers have said
there are signs of a conciliatory
Moscow policy since Stalin's
death.
NOn-cOmmittal on Plans.
Mr.. Vishinsky boarded the
British liner Queen Mary during
the evening in his new role,
under Malenkov, as permanent
Soviet delegate to the U. N. The
liner is due in New York Thurs
day. He haid nothing of his plans
as he went aboard.
The rudy-faced prosecutor of
the Moscow purge trials in the
1930s had served as foreign
minister in the last years of
Stain.
The new Soviet setup an
nounced by the Malenkov gov
ernment the day after Stain
died put Vishinsky in the U. N.
job and dropped him to chief
deputy foreign minister under
v. M. Molotov, who returned to
head of the foreign Office.
Assigned to u. N. Full-time.
Mr.. Vishinsky was in New
York for the U. N. assembly
sessions when Stain died. He
returned to Moscow, but was
not in time for Stalin's funeral,
for he crosses the Atlantic by
ship, never by plane.
AS foreign minister, Mr.. vi
shinsky attended U. N. assem-
blies annually but left the in
terim work to subordinates. Now
he is posted in the U. N. full
time.
u. N. delegates have specu-
lated widely over Mr.. Vishinsky'S
new relations with the Kremlin:
The extremes are over whether
he has been denoted or whether
the Malenkov regime plans to
use his oratory for a change in
policy at the U. N.
In the past Mr.. Vishinsky has
repeatedly accused American
figures of being warmongers,
among them Secretary of State
Dulles.

The papers and leading edi-

week to internal affairs such as
spring planting. better admin
istration, more timber for the
nation and better housing.
Various officials in published
statements stressed a govern
ment desire to improve the well
fare of the people and make life
better for every Soviet citizen.
This correspondent does not
remember in years when the
press has devoted such large
space to domestic issues and less
to denouncing the Western
powers.

MaIenkov's Gestures
0fWestC operation
Excite Diplomats.
By Eddy Gilmore


Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
MOSCOW, Mar. 21.-With
guarded optimism, foreign diplo-
mats in Moscow are asking each
other if the government of
Prime Minister Georgi Malenkov
is not showing definite signs Of
willingness to cooperate on
some issues with the West.
Several recent events have
pointed in this direction and
they have created more excite
ment and speculation than any
development here in a long. long
time.
They go back to the speeches
of Mr.. Malenkov, Lavrenty Beria
and Foreign Minister v. M. Mol
otov at Josef Stains funeral
March 8.
They underlined Mr.. Malen-
kov's address to the Supreme
Soviet last Sunday in which he
said he believed all controversial
issues with all countries could
be settled peacefully. including
those with the United States.
Tone of Notes Is Noted.
Then there was the suggestion
by Gen. VASTLY Chuikov in Ber-
lin to sit down with the British
and try to work out better con-
troll of air traffic Gas a result of
Soviet attacks over Germany
The tone of Gen. Chuikov's let
ter to the British deplored the
death of British flyers.
Now comes the Soviet offer to
help the British government in
trying to do something about
British civilians in the hands of
North Korea. Again, it was the
tone of the communication that
attracted attention.
ut is almost too good to be
true" one Western diplomat said.
But we could be on the eve of
great things"
Another diplomat: These are
extremely interesting times"
Another: II would not like to
be any place but Moscow these
days"
Others Are More Skeptical.
Others, more skeptical, said
they wanted to wait a while
longer before expressing opinions.
The Malenkov government it.
self has been in power just seven
days since it was confirmed by
the Soviet and has not issued
a belligerent statement, or de-
nounced the United States or
Britain as warmongers or i'm
perialiSts. The press has con-
tinued to print criticism of the
war in Korea but it's overall
tone is definitely softer.
tThe diplomats apparently
could not or would not be
identified.)
Encouragement Urged.
IF there is a more concilia-
tory tone in the air." said a
veteran diplomat. "the West
should do everything in its pewer
to encourage it. I refer to the
craftsmanship of statements such
as President Eisenhower's this
week."
(Gen. Else hover said
Thursday any effort by Soviet
leaders to settle issues would
never be met less than half
WayO
The diplomat said Eisenhower
had offered to wipe the slate
clean and this might have had a
onsiderable appeal here in Mos
COW. The diplomat said the West
could make one fatal .blunder in
judgment alta time like this and
that would be to interpret con-
ciliatory moves from here as a
sign of weakness.
IF Russian leaders get the
impression that any one believes
they are weak or that any moves
in the future toward co-opera-
ton will be interpreted that way
then a great deal might be
spoileed," the diplomat said. He
has had long experience with
Soviet affairs.

Wilson Tells Military
To Outline Specific
Cuts in ManpoWer
BY John A. Giles

secretary OF Oe1enSe wilson,
who has promised a cut in mil
itary manpower and lower draft
calls "if possible" yesterday Or
dered the Armed Services to
come up with specific recon-
mendations on reductions.
In an order, he admitted there
may be some basis" for Con-
gressional complaints that the
Armed Forces have too many
persons engaged in so-called
"chair corps" activities.
He gave no specific examples
of what he might have in mind.
But Army recruiting advertise
ments of IS men behind every
gun and always 10000 Air Force
men for every wing, although
some have only 30 aircraft, have
come in for criticism. The Navy
also is heavy manpower- wise on
big warships, in the opinion Of
some Congress members.
Complete Review Ordered.
Mr.. Wilson ordered thorough
review of the tables of organi-
cation for all military outfits.
The Secretary also said civ
ilian commission headed by Da-
vid Sarnoff, which recommended
q fiat 10 per cent cut in mill
tary and civilian manpower,
failed in it's work by not say
ing how such a reduction was
to be accomplished.
Congress ordered a study of
the number of persons engaged
in clerical. supply and other ad-
ministrative work. Former Sec
retary of Defense Robert A. Low
EFT named the Sarnoff commits
sion to comply with the law.
Although the report contained
some useful recommendations. I"
Mr.. Wilson said. in ordering the
new survey, lit did not pro-
vide the Secretary the detailed
information whereby he could
report compliance to the Con-
gresS." )"
Taft Acclaims Plan.
DR.. John Hannah, assistant
secretary of defense for man
power, was directed to appoint
a special project officer for the
survey and the staff of the old
Sarnoff commission was turned
over to him.
Meanwhile, Senate Majority
Leader Taft applauded Mr.. Will
sons plans to cut the rate of
military spending and expressed
the hope the SlaShes could go as
deep as 81 billion. Mr.. Wilson
named no specific amount but
he told newsmen he believes
both spending and manpower
can be reduced without weaken
ing combat effectiveness.
Senator Taft, the Associated
Press reported. said he believed.
former President Truman's
budget estimates could be
reduced So billion - with 81
billion from the military. On
Wednesday. the AP said, Senator
Taft expressed belief a 81 billion
slash, with about half taken
from the Defense Department,
would balance the budget. The
latter figure was the lowest yet
proposed in the Republican
economy drive.

Here is a small observation
but. it seems to me. it has con-
siderable significance. Discipline
is such in Moscow, and maybe
pride, too, is involved. that every
automobile in the winter has to
have the snow and ice Scraped
off of the roof, hood and mud
guards. If your car has a bit Of
snow on it a militiaman is sure
to stop you and force you. there
and then. to get out in the
middle of the street and clean it
off. All of this means that you
always carry with you not only
the usual flat-tire tools but also

nell would lack comprehension
of health problems.
The interest of the House Ap-
preparations subcommittee came
as the group began writing the
$149 million supply bill for the
District for the year starting
July l.
Chairman Wilson indicated the
subcommittee was making a gen.
eral review of the reorganization
plan. He said he had been told
the streamlining of the present
95 city agencies into a dozen
departments had not been fin
ished.
He said questions have been
raised as to whether the work
could be done within the life
Of the present authority con-
ferred by Congress, which ends
June 30. He protested also that
reorganization so far had cost
more than 100000 without any
testimony by District officials
that any money as yet has been
saved.
District officials contend that
greater efficiency would produce
savings later which would more
than cover the cost of reorgan-
izing, including the hiring of
some new department execu-
tiveS.
Mr.. Wilson said he has found
so far there has been only the
creation of a big staff of new
executives. He said his subcom-
mtttee may ask for less money
for such administration.
