his own feelings about political

BuIqonin: From Butter to Guns
Soviet Union Busy Conceing Orders to Greet Britain
For Machine Tools of Peoce Old Austerity Returns

their agreement that no popu-
lar-based revolt Is conceivable
in the Soviet Unions constitu-
ent republics"
But q palace revolt" is far
from impossible. Such q re-
volt, of course, would hardly
be in the old palace revolt
tradition, with midnight Sci
cures of the police headquar-
tiers and the armed forces COM
mand. But such seizures could
transpire, even though some
what less dramatically than
would be the case in the de
cadent capitalist tyrannies"
of the past.
There are signs to indicate
very strongly that the change
over from the eased economic
policies of the Malenkov era
to the renewed guns, not but
ter, policy of Khrushchev is
far from being a theoretical
battle over the application Of
Marxism-Leninism to the Rus
sian state.
Even diScounting some Of
the gloomy reports permitted
to appear in the controlled
press of Russia itself as pos
sible phony build-up material
in the internal political tug
of war, the conclusion is still
unacceptable that severe and
dangerous shortages of essen
tial goods and services are
sapping the strength Of the
Red dictatorship.
The Khrushchev leadership,
once the changeover in the top
dictatorship had been ironed
out for the time being and the
results made public, promptly
announced renewed emphasis
on heavy industry and an
abandonment of efforts to i'm
prove the Russian standard Of
living in the increased pro-
ductioA of consumer goods.
Almost Immediately after
this public announcement Of
a major change in economic
policy, the new masters Of
Moscow revealed a dismaying
shortage of basic foodstuffs.
And in this may well lie the
key to the future direction Of
Russian policy, not only inter-
nally but internationally. The

ards of living. can continue
probably indefinitely to get
along without automobiles and
refrigerators. even without
new samovars and new shoes.
But a worker must be fed II
he is to keep up his part in the
production of guns and tanks
and heavy power machinery.
The Khrushchev regime
has acted quickly to relieve
the situation. Import bars
were suddenly dropped to per-
NIT the shipment Of large con-
signments Of sugar and Oeef
and some grains. The collec-
tive farms leadership was
shaken up and, surprisingly. q
larger measure Of self-deter-
mination granted to the peas
ants in the production Of
foodstuffs. This latter step
amounted to the temporary
grant of q modified capitalist
status to the individual peas
ant. in the hope that the
prospect of private gain might
increase his output Of farm
produce.
If these immediate meas
ures are successful. the chances
for the continuation in power
of the Khrushchev and Bull
ganin leadership will be ex-
cellent. But results. in such
a matter as the production and
distribution of foodstuffs. will
not be discernible for many
months. In the intervening
time, much can happen in the
Soviet Union that may be Of
tremendous consequence to
the rest of the world.
AS of today, the Russian
leaders very probably look
upon the prospect Of a foreign
war with grave misgivings.
There is little likelihood that
the Kremlin would involve it
self in war even II full-scale
hostilities should erupt in
China and Formosa.
But a nation in crisis has
been known to resolve its in
ternal dif1iculties by resort to
international adventures. AL
though remote. the possibility
must not be overlooked.

was under pressure from Sem

leagues who wanted to use the

Policy Committee of the Sem

of the Yalta papers and COM
pilation of data, for use by
Republican campaign orators.
All this time the President
said nothing-though spokes-
men for our allies did, and
angrily, notably Winston
Churchill.
The President finally got an
opportunity when he was
asked at his news conference
this week what he thought
about publication of the Yalta
documents. Publication he
thought was all right, except
for the casual conversations"
at that meeting. But he was
very specific that they should
not be used for political pur-
poses, as it all had happened
10 years ago, and in the midst
of war. AS for him, he said,
he did not believe in question

Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther,
supreme allied commander in
Europe, believes the main short
coming of the NATO forces in
Europe may be in air defense.
Talking to reporters in the
Pentagon yesterday, he said he
thought some form of centralized
control of air forces of the NATO
partners might have to be worked
out.
He said the problem was moro
acute in Europe than the United
States because many of the tar
gets could expect no more than
Is minutes warning in event of
atomic attack.
The general said that he had
set up a group of IL experts at
The Hague to work on the mill
tary side of the problems and
that he had called on scientists
from all the NATO nations to
help them.

Criticizing Policies

The blast was contained in a

cause Of the apparent lack Of
political courage to change it."
Refers to Rigid Props
Mr.. Benson referred here to a
war-born system of high, rigid
price props for basic farm COM
moditles. This system was
dropped by Congress last year,

project goes through.

Flights 10 Friendship
Would Hurt Business,
Air Official Declares

Airlines would lose much Of
their business here If flights ara
diverted to Baltimore's Friend
ship international Airport. an
industry spokesman said yester-
day.
Milton W. Arnold, vice presi.
dent of the Air Transport Associ-
alton, said Washington's air
travel is predominantly short
haul. If travellers have to make
the 45-minute drive to or from
Friendship. chances are they will
travel by train or bus, he said.
Mr.. Arnold was principal
speaker at the Washington
Board Of Trades luncheon in
the Hotel Statler.
Mr.. Arnold did not specifically
cite Friendships distance from
Washington, nor even mention
the Baltimore field. in his speech.
However, it was plain he was
attacking the proposal to use
that airport for Washington
flights. He confirmed it later
with reporters.
330-Mile Average
He said the average air flight
to or from here is 800 miles, with
86.l per cent of the trips less
than $50 miles. One of every four
trips is between here and New
York, he said.
Any increase in travel time,
caused by a longer drive to the,
airport, could destroy this mar
ket, he said. Airlines have only
one thing to offer, he said. "the
saving of time"
The White House has ap-
proved a recommendation that
Baltimore's airport be used to
accommodate Nationals over
flow.
The Civil Aeronautics Board
has ordered a staff study of
means of relieving congestion
at National Airport.

Federal seizure Of pills used in

ment
The seizure yesterday was or

alive of the Pure Foods and

514,920 pills. plus a quantity
of phamphlets.
Mr.. McIlvaine said the pills
were for use in treating cancer
according to a method developed
by Harry M. Hoxsey. who OPP
crates a similar clinic in Dallas,
Tex.
The pills were shipped to
Portage from Detroit March IL,
Mr.. McIlvaine said. He did not
identify the manufacturer, but
said they ARE misbranded be-
cause they contain false and
misleading representation"
Mr.. Hoxsey claims the pills,
made from various herbs, are
