prospect of another cool night

Cut in Broadcasfs
To Russia Reported
Urged in Secret Data
McCurrun Shows Letter
From Voice Chief on
Report to President
By the Associated Press

A secret report made to PreSi-
dent Eisenhower last month was
disclosed today to have recon-
mended cutting down on Voice
of America broadcasts to Russia.
At the same time, the report
on psychological warfare, only a
fraction of which was made pub
lie, recommended keeping at
present levels Voice broadcasts
to Russia's European satellites.
This information was con-
tained in a letter written August
II by Theodore C. Streibert, new
head of the United States In
formation Agency (USIA). to
Senator McCarran, Democrat of
Nevada. Senator McCarran
made the letter available to q
reporter.
Advocated Reduction.
Mr.. Streibert wrote in part
that "the Jackson report Con
psychological warfare) ad-
vocated reduction in some of
the Russian languages while
maintaining that the service to
the satellites should be pre-
served"
No evidence was available at
the USIA that this recommended
ton has yet been followed. But
it's existence appeared to be an
indication the new administra-
ton means to concentrate on
encouraging anti-Red activity
in Iron Curtain countries at the
possible expense of propaganda
aired to Russia proper.
The Jackson report on how
this country should wage psy-
Geological warfare was written
by a committee of eight headed
by William H. Jackson and in
cluding two Of President Eisen-
hower'S top advisers-C. D.
Jackson, special presidential as
sistant, and Robert Cutler, White
House liaison man with the Ma
tional Security Council. Deputy
Secretary of Defense Roger M
KyeS also was member.
Proposals Are Secret.
The report was given the
President last month but only
a small portion of it has been
released to the public. A White
House statement said many ot
it's recommendations "are o1
a highly classified nature"
A spokesman for the USIA
said Voice of America broad
casts into Russia average 81
hours a day, to European satel-
lites, 712, and to China, 51z
hours.
