came from Senator Kefauver,
Democrat. of Tennessee. He said
the President may have created
another layer of secrecy on all
too secret a subject" Complain
ing that Gen. Eisenhower said
nothing of continental defenses,
Kefuaver asked for a Senate
Armed Services Committee hear
ing on this issue.
The Tennessean said he has
reached "the startling conclusion
that the Joint Chiefs of Staff
do not believe that an effective
continental defense can be es-
tablished against delivery of the
atomic bomb and the H-bomb. "
The President said yesterday
that balancing the budget always
would remain the adminiStra-
tons goal, but he could not give
any specific date for that to
occur.
He replied, in answer to an
other question, that he was not
now able to say just what tax
program would be necessary to
bring about a balanced budget
since those details were still in
process of being worked out.
Orders Curb on Talk.
The Chief Executive, taking
notice of the welter of conflicting
statements by members of his
official family on Russian capa-
bilities to attack this country,
announced, that he had ordered
all Ito refrain from comment
on Soviet nuclear capabilities
unless they first check their
statements with the Chairman of
the Atomic Energy Commission. /"
The President said he had no
explanation for the series of
conflicting statements but added
that when things of great mo-
ment happen. people reach con-
clusion and if they state them
they sometimes forget that their
words are taken very seriously.
Gen. Eisenhower was asked if
his statement on Soviet capabil-
tiles concurred with that of De-
fense Secretary Wilson. who ex-
pressed doubt the Russians could
launch an H-bomb attack on
this country in less than three
years.

Transit Union Clears
Strike Plans With
lis National Officers

Walter J. Bierwagen, president
of the union transit workers,
said today his organization is
clearing plans for a strike with
officers of the international
union.
A date for strike has not yet
been set. Mr.. Bierwagen said.
He said the public would get ade-
quate notice.
If a strike is called it would
be to back up the unions de-
mands for improved pensions and
for arbitration of its differences
with the Capital Transit Co.
The company has said its con-
tract with the union runs through
next June 80 and that it is not
required to arbitrate.
The unions Executive Board
on Monday considered the situa-
ton, Mr.. Bierwagen said. and
told the officers "a strike is
Indicated"
The clearing of a strike call
with the international union is
not obligatory, Mr.. Bierwagen
said, but the officers want to take
advantage of the advice and
counsel of the officers of the
parent union. The union is the
Amalgamated Association Of
Street. Electric Railway and Mo-
tor Coach Employees.
Mr.. Bierwagen would not spec
ulate on the date if a strike is
called. He also would not rule
out a date earlier than october
81 when Federal mediators have
asked both union and company
officials to meet with them again,
The situation looks pretty
rough and it looks like a strike"
Mr.. Bierwagen said. The COM
pany is Just as adamant as it has
always been. The men are plenty

the shop stewards they don't
understand why we have taken

The order suspending the con-
stitution cannot become effec-
tive until it is under British par
liamentary consideration for 40
days. Parliament will convene
on October 20.
The British charged the PIP
leaders with conducting IAN as
siduous campaign to undermine
the loyalty and discipline of the
police and having proposed to
establish what they termed a
peoples police" It said the
ministers had sponsored a Brit
ish Guiana branch of the Com
muniSt inspired World Peace
Committee. It added:
They have set up commit
tee which supports Communist
terrorists in Malaga and delib-
erately foments racial hatred" )"
Jagan told newsmen today he
and the ousted ministers are
drawing up a statement but
meanwhile you can say we are
most unhappy about the whole
situation"
The PPP used its majority in
the House of Assembly yester-
day to speed through a bill re-
quiring employers to recognize
unions which had been desig-
mated bargaining agent by ma
jority of workers. This fulfilled
a campaign promise in last
Aprils elections. Fourteen sugar
factories were closed down two
weeks in September by strikes
demanding such union recogni-
ton.
The Colonial Office statement
charge Jagan's party with the
objective of turning British
Guiana into a totalitarian state
subordinate to Moscow and a
dangerous platform for extend
ing Communist influence in the
Western Hemisphere"
1T has become clear to her
majesty's government that the
ministers had no intention of
making the constitution work,
but on the contrary their sole
object is to seize control of the
whole life of the territory and
to run it on totalitarian lines, :"
the London government de-
clared.

Of saying-that this threat is

@. Richard l.. Wilson, Cowles
Publications: Mr.. President,
would you say that there is a
greater or lesser prospect of
balancing the budget now
than there appeared to be two
or three months ago?
A. The President didn't be-
lieve he could answer the
question with great accuracy
because at various times esti-
mates of income and estimates
of outgo vary.
He could only say this re-
mains one of the basic or one
of the firm objectives of the
administration, as a means of
saving life insurance policies,
savings bonds and all of the
other things that the little
investor of this country puts
his money into.
Some day, the President
said, a balanced budget must
be reached. The administra-
ton doesn't believe that you
can continue to go on an in
f1ationary spiral and have a
sound economy.
Taxes Being Studied.
@. Edward Milne, Provi-
dence Journal-Bulletin: I
would like to get at the same
thing in a different way, if I
may. Will you ask Congress
for sufficient taxes to balance
the budget at whatever level
the expenditures for national
defense require?
A. AS the President ex-
planned last week-something
of that kind-outside of the
one statement he made about
the retail sales tax, this whole
tax program is being worked
out by the Treasury Depart
ment, with the Budget, with
conferences with the people
down at the Capitol, and they
are going to find out what
they believe will be the best
tax program, and he was not
in position to comment on it
in detail beyond that at thi'
time.

Senator Murray Warns
Of Shift in Power Policy
BY 'he ASsoeiaied Press

BILLINGS, Mont, Oct. g.
Senator Murray, Democrat, OF
Montana asserted last night
that "the real attack upon rural
Identification" this year and
next will not be through the
Rural Electrification Admins
tration itself but through the
Federal power program gen.
orally.
In a speech at a regional
meeting Of the National Rural
Electric Cooperative ASsocia-
ton here, Senator Murray said
the Interior Department has al
ready proclaimed intentions
which amount to a "repudiation
of long established power market
policies" of the Reclamation
Bureau.
This new policy is a deliber-
ate, shameful, dishonest attempt
to raise power costs to the rural
electrics and other preference
customers, Senator Murray said.

Following is the tert OF
President EiSenhower'S press
conference statement on atomic
Developments and security:
There have recently been a
number of statements con-
corning the threat posed by
Soviet progress in the de-
yelopment of atomic weapons.
The facts as we know them
are these:
You will recall that our
Government announced that
the Soviet produced an atomic
explosion in 1949 and two
subsequent explosions in 1851.
In August of this year we
learned through intelligence
channels of a Soviet test of an
atomic device, in which some
part Of the explosive force was
derived from a thermonuclear
reaction, that is to say. what
is popularly know as the H
bomb. The Atomic Energy
Commission announced this
August IL detonation as soon
as sufficient evidence was
in hand, and later announced
that it appeared to be part of
a test series.
The development did not
come as a surprise. We had
always estimated that it was
within the scientific and
technical capabilities of the
Soviets to reach this point and
we have been on notice for
some years that their own
ingenuity has had the ma
terial assistance of what they
learned of our program
through espionage.
The Soviets now possess a

Deaths also increased, with

municable diseases, pneumonia
was the principal cause of death,
with 189 such deaths reported.
Last year 1866 deaths from pneu-
monia were reported during the

stockpile of atomic weapons of
conventional types and we
must furthermore conclude
that the powerful explosion of
August IL last was produced
by weapon, or the fore
runner of a weapon. of power
far in excess of the conven-
tional types.
We. therefore, conclude that
the SovietS now have the ca
pability of atomic attack on
us, and such >capability will in
crease with the passage of
time.
And now a word as to our
own situation. We do not in
tend to disclose the details of
our strength in atomic weap-
ons of any sort, but it is large
and increasing steadily. We
have in our atomic arsenal a
number of kinds of weapons,
suited to the special needs of
the Army, Navy and Air Force
for the specific tasks assigned
to each service.
1t is my hope, my earnest
prayer. that this country will
never again be engaged in war.
AS said in Atlantic City this
week, with reference to atomic
energy. this titantic force
must be reduced to the fruit
full service of mankind" Real
advances made by our Govern
ment in developing peacetime
atomic power and the other
benign uses of atomic energy
is evidence of the constructive
goals that we have set for our
selves.
I have asked all members of
this administration to refrain

evil where there was none and
added any one can have his own
guess as to what is going to
happen in the future.
No one is trying to fool the
American people, he continued,
and he was not trying to tell
any one that this threat is right
on our doorstep at this minute.
Won't Disclose Details.
I'VE do not intend to disclose
the details of our strength in
atomic weapons of any sort. but
it is large and increasing steadily
with the passage of time" the
President asserted in his pre-
pared statement. I'VE have in
our atomic arsenals a number of
kinds OF weapons suited to the
special needs of the Army, Navy
and Air Force for the specific
tasks assigned to each service" !"
Asked about his planned re-
port to the people on the inter-
national situation, Gen. EiSen-
hover said he could only say he
was working awfully hard on it..
He also said he had not heard
of any suggestion that British
Prime Minister Churchill might
go by himself to Moscow to see
Premier Malenkov in order to
determine whether there would
be any fruitfulness in a Big Four
meeting.
Will Visit Canada.
The conference was dominated
by the discussion of Russian
atomic progress and its affect on
this country but on other mat
ters, the President said:
l. He has accepted an invita-
ton to visit Ottawa November
1915 as a guest of the Canadian
government. It will be a social
visit.
2. He has asked Adlai E. Stev-
enson to discuss with the State
Department the latter's proposal
that the western powers offer to
exchange non-aggression pacts
with the Communists.
3. He learned something about
the Tennessee Valley Authority
in a talk yesterday with Gov.
Frank C. Clement of Tennessee
but does not think the Governor,
an enthusiastic supporter of
TVA, changed his (the Presi-
dent's) mind about certain fea-
lures of the public power de-
velopment, which the Chief
Executive said he regards as
alarming.

Presidents Replies to Arms
Questions at Press PurIey

FOLLOWING is a pnrGphr1Sed
tert of questions and ANSWERS
on atomic and budgetGry mat
terS at President EiSenlloDer'S
press conference yesterday:
@. Merriman Smith, United
Press: Mr.. President. I Won
der if you could give us your
version on why there have
been such divergent statements
about the Russian H-bomb pro-
gram from various members of
your government?
A. The President said he
really had no explanation. We
know this, he said. when things
of great moment happen, peo-
pie reach conclusions, some
times they just have reactions,
and, if they state them, they
sometimes forget that their
words are taken very seri-
ously.
Gen. Eisenhower had no
comment to make on anything
that anyone had said from one
end to the other. He said he
was giving the facts as he
thought they should be given
at this moment.
Quizzed on Costs.
@. David Sentner, Hearst
newspapers: Mr.. President, in
the face of this Soviet H-bomb
threat, do you anticipate re-
queSting a larger appropria-
tion for defense nj the next
Congress?
The President said tha. when
you say defense" of course.
you are covering a very large
field. What you are constantly
trying to do in your studies,
in your technical and profess
sional examinations and in the
Security Council, is to find out
the best way to adjust our
defenses and our own capabil-
tiles in the military field to
this kind of a possible threat,
which doesn't mean always
that you necessarily have to
go up in the gross amount of
money requested. But you do
certainly have to use a very
definite scale of priority in
meeting the threat that you
find opposing you.
Gen Eisenhower added that
because the administrations
studies were still going for
ward, he was not prepared to
say what will be the degree of
up or down that would be
asked for.
Q. Mr.. Sentner: Is it likely
to affect your hope in balanc-
ing the Dudget?
A. The President said bal
ancing the budget will always
remain goal of any admin
istration that believes as much
as his administration does that
the soundneSs of our money
must be assured, and that the
unbalanced budget has a very
bad effect on it.
That does not mean, the
President continued that you
can pick any specific date and
say. Here all things must give
way before a balanced budget"
1t is a question of where the
Importance of a balanced
budget comes in: but it must
be an aim of any sound money
program. But Gen. EisenhoW-
er said he would not say that
the budget is going to be bal
anced on June or July /, 1865.
Bomb Question Raised.
Q. Robert w. Richards, the
Copley Press: Here your state
ment on the Russian hydrogen
bomb potential seems to dis
agree with the Defense Secre-
tary'S estimate that it would
be three years before Russia
could start an atomic war,
hydrogen bomb war. and his
caution to the country not to
get panicky. Does this concur
with that?
A. The President replied he
would say that you shouldn't
look for evil where there is
none. Any one can have his
own guess as to what is going
to happen in the future. No
one had tried to fool the pub
