The raising of this specific

Soviet Sees Churchill
Talk as Start Of Split
Between U.S., Britain
By Eddy Gilmore
\ssoeioted Press Foreign Correspondent

ASsoeioted Press Foreign Correspondent
MOSCOW. May 13.-The So
Wet press today reported on
Prime Minister Churchill's for
elgn policy speech Monday to
the British House of Commons.
There is plenty of reason to be-
lieve Moscow is interpreting the
mixed reception to the speech as
an indication of widening diff
ferences between the United
States and Britain.
The approval of Mr.. Churchill's
ideas in certain sections of
French politics apparently also
is not lost upon the Russians.
The development of conflict of
opinion between the United
States and its European partners
often has been predicted here,
and reactions in England, the
United States and France to the
Churchill speech may be looked
upon by the Russians as the be-
ginning of a series of such con-
f1icts.
Joint Study Announced.
"a joint study by the Amer
lean Council of Foreign Rela-
tionS and the British Royal
Institute of International
Affairs says a Soviet peace
offensive could intensity diff
ferences between the Ameri-
cans and British. The study
was prepared before Georgi
Malenkov succeeded Stain as
Soviet Premier, and announced
today. 1t says that if the
U. S. S. R. refralned for a
time from muddying interna-
tional waters, perhaps in ex-
pectation of such conflicts
among Western powers, dis
agreements that would other
wise have been suppressed may
be allowed to come to the sur
face" Stain, in his last essay

mittee, says he feels this is the
most effective and fairest way OF
going about the investigation.
1--WE don't want to follow the
Notwithstanding approach" Mr..
Corbett said. when our inves-
tigators do uncover evidences of
waste of personnel and overstaff-
ing, we will give the agency Off
cials the right to tell us their
side of the story"
Mr.. Corbett and his commit
Tee feel that better personnel
management, elimination of
duplication of functions and the
will to do it" can reduce the
number of Federal employees.
Yet at the same time Mr.. Cor
bett feels strongly that every
thing possible should be done
to ease the impact on Govern
ment career employees. He feels
agencies can minimize the effects
of reduction in-force programs
by not filling vacancies, as well
as by an intelligent replacement
program for careerists.
The other committee members
also share his concern for pro-
tecting efficient employees as
much as possible. as evidenced
by their remarks during the
groups meeting yesterday.
INDEPENDENT OFFICES-In
reporting the 1854 independent
Offices bill, the Senate Appropri-
ations Committee sustained the
action of its subcommittee in
disapproving the ALLEGATION Of
any money this year for the
Governments payment to the
civil service retirement system.
The House also has refused to
allocate the Governments share
The full Senate committee also
approved it's subcommittee's ac-
tion in voting to abolish the
Federal Personnel Council and
transfer it's functions to the
Office of the executive director
Of the Civil Service Commission.
The House also had voted to
abolish the council.
The full Senate committee
trimmed about 81 million from
it's subcommittee's recommended
funds for the Civil Service Com
mission. However. the Senate
committees recommendation for
the CSC is still about 81 million
more than that voted by the
House. ,s.t -
The full Senate committee
also voted to restore most of the
salaries and expense items for
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency and the Public Housing
Administration that were cut by
the House. This would save the
jobs of several thousand hous-
ing agencies employees.

was low bidder were too loose"
and therefore he had them re-

reports he first favored throwing

orators at Chief Joseph Dam.

best thing to do was to alter the

Budget Can Defend
U.S., but Won 'tAIIow
Attack, Wilson Says

The administrations military
spending plans have been de-
scribed by Secretary Of Defense
Wilson as defensive budget"
big enough to defend this coun-
try but not enough to challenge
an enemy.
'I think that is the historical
American approach to war any,
how. isn't it?" he said in reply to
a question at news conference
yesterday. 1--WE aren't looking
for trouble. We aren't going to
attack someone else"
The Air Force has for years
put emphasis on its Strategic Air
Commands long range atomic
bombers and Mr.. Wilson was
asked if he favored increasing
that arm as a war deterrent.
He replied he favored a rapidly
improving Air Force.
The secretary then was asked
by what measure can sufficient
defense be gauged.
$64 Question.
"That is the $64 question, Mr..
Wilson said. "A competent group
of people study the problem and
consider what the potential
strength of the enemy might be
and arrive at what you think
what the President calls a
proper posture of defense"
There is some difference be-
tween military strength sufE-
cient to challenge a possible
enemy versus what is required
to defend your country and de-
Tending it long enough to avoid
defeat while you are building
additional strength to win"
He added that was what he
thought his $36.1 billion budget
did.
At another point the Secre-
tary said draft calls could be
halted by using more troops in
frontline combat units and be-
cause I'VE are not anticipating
such a turnover Tin personneD
as we have had"
More Atomic Artillery.
Mr.. Wilson also said:
l. He favors increased produc-
ton of atomic artillery.
2. The Air Forces B-52 swept
wing jet long-range bomber is
going ahead as planned.
8. Atomic weapons are playing
an increasing part in military
plans. He added there has been
greater improvement in such
weapons than in any others.
4, The Air Force will have
more than 10000 aircraft under
his spending program.
5. The cutback in Air Force
wings from 143 under the Tru-
man budget to a ia interim
! figure" was a reduction from a
theoretical paper figure to an
actual figure that could be OBJ
tanned. The final number of
wings may be more or less than
143 in the future.
