Gruenther Confident
Russians Won't Start
New European War
Testimony Of NATO
Chief Says Soviets
Have No Edge on U. S:
BY the Associated Press

Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther.
head of the Western defense
forces in Europe. has said he is
convinced Russia will not start
European war, it was disclosed
today.
II do not think war is ever
going to come" Gen. Gruenther.
new supreme commander of
North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
zation forces, told the Senate
Appropriations Committee at a
cloSed-door session July 18.
His heavily censored testi-
mony reported Russia and her
Communist satellites have su-
periority in ground, air and sub
marine forces over those of
NATO, but that NATO forces are
increasing in strength.
Calls Reds No Supefmen.
Gen. Gruenther'sa testimony
was in behalf of President Eisen-
hoWer's request for more than SIS
billion in new foreign aid funds.
He told the committee:
I'VE are going to stop this war
from ever starting. 1 am abso-
lutely convinced of that. These
fellows (Russia and Communist
forceS) are no supermen. They
have no edge on us at all.
THE one thing that they have
is a technique for dividing. In
their conference last October,
they announced what they were
going to do and the fellow who
announced it was Malenkov."
This was a reference to the
big Soviet get-together in Mos
COW last fall when Joseph Stain
still was alive. Malenkov made
the keynote speech at that rally
and predicted troubles between
the Western allies. Gen. Gruen-
ther said these differences did
develop.
Russians Have Troubles Too.
AS the same time, he said, the
Russians have their own troubles
like the recent riots in East Ber-
lin and other Communist-con-
trolled areas.
He called those riots fantastic,
and said they call for greater ef-
fort by anti-Communist allies.
MY contention and the plea
I make is that if there ever was
a time for relaxation, this is not
it," he said.

Other District Budget Stories. Pose A-24
GUS differences involved mostly

Gus differences involved mostly
in a Senate increase of $2.3 mil
lion over the House figures.
Left to future studies are pro-
posals for a solid boost in the
size of the Federal payment. The
subject was debated sympathet-
ically at some length yesterday
in the Senate.
But a move by Senator john
ston, Democrat, of South Caro-
lima to amend the bill to raise
the Federal payment to 25 per
cent of appropriated city funds,
was ruled out on a point of order
that it would be legislation on
an appropriation bill.
Hearings Possible.
There were suggestions from
spokeSmen for both the House
and Senate District Committees
that hearings might be held on
the subject later, perhaps in
connection with the proposed
District public works program.
There were suggestions from
both houses, too. that responsible
District officials should make
firm request for what was needed,
to motivate congressional hear
ings or action.
The District budget measure
was Shorn yesterday of two con-
troversial features tackled onto
the bill by the Senate Appropria-
tionS Committee.
One was the move to put Wal
ter L. Fowler, veteran District
budget officer, in charge of Dis
trict reorganization as head of a
separate budget and manage
ment office directly under the
Commissioners.
The other was attempted quick
solution of the litigation over the
plan to build a new Sibley Hos
pital on the Spring Valley

12-Hour LuII Is
Broken; Artillery
Pounds Enemy
BY the Associated Press

SEOUL, Sunday, July 26.-An
unusual 12-hour lull in the fight
ing on the Korean central front
was shattered by a series of Chi
nese battalion attacks against
American and South Korean
troops late Saturday night and
allied artillery roared back into
action.
Front line dispatches said
about 5000 Chinese Reds took
part in the assaults northeast of
Kumhwa, pivotal allied position
on the east central front.
The first battalion (750 mem
hit at II pm. after heavy artil-
lery fire against the United States
Sd Division about eight miles
northeast of KumhWa.
Brisk Fighting Reported.
Less than 10 minutes later
another Chinese battalion and
two more companies 1920 mem
struck against Korean defenders
several miles farther east on the
new Kumsong front, near Sam
Hyon Hill.
During the same period Ko-
rean and American troops near
Kumhwa reported brisk fights
and several contacts with Chi
nese platoons.
Massed allied artillery, which
had fallen into almost complete
silence during the evening. sud-
denly roared into action at the
first Chinese shelling and ad-
vance. The sky from Kumhwa
to Kumsong was brilliant with
flares and allied searchlights.
No Word on Progress.
There was no immediate re-
port on the progress of the Chi
nese attacks.
Shooting had dropped and ten
sion rose across parts of the front
as stronger and stronger rumors
filtered up to the line from Seoul
and Hokyo that an armistice
agreement was imminent.
But in possibly the waning
hours of the 37-month-old war,
United Nations warplanes, de-
flying blustery weather, relent-
lessly bombed Red frontline po-
sitions and supply lines.
Near the truce talk site at
Panmunjom, big guns dueled
furiously.

The Air Force said 10 allied
planes went down in Communist

yesterday. Two were Sabre jets
lost in air combat with Red fight

derjets, two Pantherjets, two

fire, and one Sabre was lost to
unexplained causes, the Air

President Calls
East German
Rule Bankrupt
Sees liquidation
Of Red Dictatorship
And Occupation
BY the Associated Press


QUANTICO MARINE BASE.
Va, July 25.-President Eisen-
hover today called the Red gov
eminent of East Germany a
bankrupt regime" and predicted
eventual liquidation of the pres
ent Communist dictatorship and
the Soviet occupation.
The President, here for con-
ferences of defense leaders, made
public a message he has sent to
Chancellor Adenauer of West
Germany calling anew for free
elections in Germany and "the
formation of free alderman
government, leading to unifica-
ton" of the country.
Gen. Eisenhower said, too, that
the idea of free elections and
unif1cation is in no way incom-
patible with creation of the
European defense community,
which provides for a European
army joining the forces Of
France, West Germany, Italy.
the Netherlands, Belgium and
Luxembourg.
II do not and never have ac-
cepted this theory that the EDO
and unification of Germany are
mutually exclusive" Gen. Eisen-
hover said. quite the con-
trary."
AlludeS to Talks Here.
Gen. Eisenhower alluded to the
recent Washington conference of
the foreign ministers of the
United States, Great Britain and
France. and told Mr.. Adenauer:
ut might be helpful if I were
to write you a letter in amplica-
tion of the thoughts so tightly
compressed in the final commu-
niuue" on those sessions.
The President said definite
patterns are emerging from the
situation in Communist East
Germany and the Eastern Eu-
ropean satellite countries.
They are patterns, he added,
which will "unquestionably have
a profound effect upon the fu-
ture." including the proposed
meeting of the foreign ministers
of the four powers.
That was a reference to the
invitation extended to Russia by
this Nation, Britain and France
to take part in the fall in a Big
-Four meeting of foreign min
listers.
Russia has not yet replied to
the invitation.
Reds Urged Unification.
Not long ago. when the Rus
slams launched what was re-
ferred to at the time as peace
offensive" the Soviet called for
unification of the German ma
ton. This was shortly after the
death of Stain.
Russia has rejected an Amer
ican move to bring about free
elections throughout the coun.
try as requisite to unification.
The West German Republic,
which has signed a separate
peace with the United States and
its Western Allies, is now linked
with the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization, which provides a
Western alliance against Red
aggression.
West Germany agreed to 60
into EDO but the European army
has not yet been approved by
the assemblies of the partici-
pating countries.
Demonstrations Cited.
In his letter to Mr.. Adenauer,
Gen. Eisenhower wrote of great
historical developments, such as
the recent Berlin and East Ger
man anti-Communist demonstra-
tions." Then he added:
In analyZing these recent
developments, there appear to
be five points of greatest signif1.

In taking up the grip it always
seemed to me good idea to have
the clubhead resting in its natu-
raj position on the ground just
as one would like to have it hit
the ball. Doing this as you take
up your grip will insure you of
a reasonable chance that the
clubface will be in that position
when it makes contact with the
ball during the course of the
