The main difference between

agreements on layof pay set the
pattern that has spread into
other industries. Layoff pay is
one of the main detectives of
many big unions today.

there are almost 80 of them in

that they have been reduced to

them all and only a few became
known to the public.
Mr.. Lewis is a slender, almost

combed back with the same,

He is Assistant Secretary for

Associated PresS sian WEltct
The United States and its
Western allies have suspiciously
welcomed the Soviet govern
ment's well-advertised decision
to reduce Russian armed forces
by $40, 900 men by December Is
American officials showed
skepticism for two reasons:
/. They have no way of check
ing on what the Soviets actu-
ally do.
2. There are indications the
Soviets are trying to use the
arms reduction decision to pres
sure the West to reduce its own
smaller forces.
Nevertheless, many experts
believe the Russians really want
to reduce their own arms bur-
den. These experts think the
Soviet leaders will make some
cuts to reduce costs and free
men for agriculture and in
dustry.
Cautious Official Comment
The State Department, through
press officer Lincoln White, made
the following cautious comment
on the Russian announcement:
I'VE have had no official COM
munication on this whatsoever
Generally speaking, it could be
encouraging and presumably
could come up in the United
Nations disarmament subcom-
mittee discussions later this
month"
In London, the British Foreign
Office called on the Soviet gov
eminent to disclose the totaI
strength of its forces, saying III
is difficult to assess its (the
reduction's) significance since
the Soviet government has never
revealed the strength Of theil
armed forces"
The Foreign Once acclaimed
the Russian decision as indicat'
ing improved East-West relation:
following the summit meeting al
Geneva last month.
Reports said Western Euro
pean capitals generally well
coined the Soviet announcement
as a step in the right direction

Russia's armed forces were
estimated by the British Foreign
Office at 4,750,o00 so that q cut
Of the size announced woulc
leave men under arms at a total
of more than four million. The
Foreign Office said Britain cut
its own armed forces following
World War II from i've million
to less than one million.
BY way of comparison. United
States forces have been steadily
reduced from q postwar peak
Of 3,685,05 in April. 1852. dur
ing the Korean war to 1885, 00S
on June 80. 1865. A further re-
duction to 2.S5o,00o by next June
30 is planned.
Officials UNDERSIGNED the sig
niflcance Of these f1gures-that
even a cut Of more than half-a-
million men in Russia's armed
forces would make no real diff.
ference In the power balance
between the Communist ane
Free World blocs.
This conclusion Is further
borne out by rough estimates OF
the total strength Of those
blocs-about 10 million men In
the Russian, satellite and Red
China combination compared to
about 100000 in the Atlantic
alliance and the anti ommun-
list nations Of Asia.

Gets a Wary Welcome

even widens the great gap which
exists between the Soviet and
Western approaches to the
problem of disarmament, in
Icluding reduction and eventual
abolition of atomic and hydro
Igen weapons.
| Sought Inspection
This East-West division
showed up sharply at the
Geneva summit meeting. Presi-
dent Eisenhower sought Russian
agreement on the kind of inspec-
ton system which, he said,
would assure all peoples and all
governments that pledges to dis
arm would be carried out.
Mr.. Eisenhower, British Prime
Minister Anthony Eden and
French Premier Edgar Faure
took the same line on the vital
Importance of inspection as a
preliminary condition for actual
disarming or substantially re-
ducing arms.
Soviet Premier Bulganin stuck
Ito the Russian contention that
while some kind Of limited in
spection is important the main
responsibility for reducing arm
aments must be up to the gov
eminent of each country.
The latest Russian proposal is
for international check points
lat transportation centers so that
a nation can be detected if 1t
starts mobilizing for war. The
inspectors of other nations could
see what was happening, the
Russians say.
! Western governments. how
ever, favor such things as aerial
reconnaissance and unhindered
tours by international supervi-
sion teams.
Most Senators said they are
dubious about Soviet Russia s
announcement that 1t is cutting
its armed forces.

crat of Louisiana. said I'VE
should meet the Russians half
way, without bowling down and
fraternizing."
| "ToO Much Suspicion"
There is too much suspicion
on both sides Of the Iron Cur
/ tain," Ellender said in an inter-
view. "If we could just learn what
! Communist leaders are thinking
what is gnawing at them. we
should be able to convince them
we don't want anything they
have"
| Senator Ellender, q member OF
the Appropriations Committee,
said an effective and safe dis
armament program would en-
able this country to save billions
Of dollars"
Senator Bennett, Republican
Of Utah, said the Soviet an
nouncement lis certainly an en-
couraging sign although it might
have more meaning If we knew
what percentage Of total Rus
sian military manpower 1t repre-
sents."
Senator O'Mahoney. Democrat
Of Wyoming. said If Kremlin
leaders actually want to relax
tensions they should do 1t alons
the borders Of Communist East
Germany and Berlin.
Everything the Soviet Union
says must be listened to with the
greatest caution. until something
Is actually DONE" he said.
Senator Watkins. Republican
Of Utah. said the Soviet move lis
interesting but no reason for re-
ducing our military strength in
the slightest. The Soviet could
make this cutback and still have
overwhelmingly military forces"
