states which are under the Ger
man yoke must again become free
and independent;
"(2) Give the liberated peoples
of Europe the full right and irea-
dom to decide for themselves the
question of their form of govern
ment."
o Another high-flown declaration
to which Russia was party was
the Yalta conferences declaration
on liberated Europe. Along with
the other great powers. the Soviet
Union pledged itself Ito the earli-
est possible establishment through
free elections of governments re-
sponsive to the will of the people"
. BY February, l948. when lives
tia printed an article entitled. "On
Guard for World Peace" most peo-
pie were beginning to wonder. The
article said: 1.-The Soviet Army
stretched out a brotherly, helping
hand to the peoples of Europe
languishing in Fascist slavery. The
European peoples have to thank
the Soviet Army for their liberia
ton"
. Even seven years ago when the
foregoing article appeared, that
tune was an old one. In 1899, at
the Fifth Supreme Soviet session,
Molotov defended Russia's aims in
the Baltic 1.-THE special character
of these mutual assistance pacts in
no way implies any interference
E. in the affairs of Estonia, Latvia
or Lithuania. On the contrary,
all these pacts strictly stipulate
the inviolability Of the sovereignty
of signatory states and the princi-
pie Of noninterference in each
others affairs. We declare that
all the nonsensical talk about the
Sovietization of the Baltic coun-
tries is only to the interest of our
common enemies. :"
To-day the Soviets do not
even observe the satellite fiction
in the case of Estonia, Latvia
and Lithuania. These are now
officially part of the Soviet
Union.]
Record Is Cieor
Such is the contents of the cata-
logue. The record of Russia is clear
-l6 years or more of preaching
freedom and determination, is
years or more of practicing slavery
and external domination. The words
of Stain and Molotov stand in
sorry contrast to Russia's deeds in
the great arc that stretches from
the Baltic states through Poland,
Czechoslovakia. Hungary, Romania,
Albania and Bulgaria all the way
to the frontiers of Greece.
Last week, Secretary of State
Dulles said. Russia will be asked
at the coming meeting to live
up to the Yalta, Potsdam and
Moscow agreements pledging demo-
cratic freedoms for those nations
which are now MoScows European
satellite nations"
1t will be difficult. on the basis
of Russia's record, for the Soviet
leaders to convince anyone of good
intentions by mouthing the same
old. tired platitudes. AS President
Eisenhower said to the American
Society of Newspaper Editors more
than two years ago, deeds, not
words, will be necessary. One obvi-
Gus deed tending to prove RusSiaS
good intentions would be the long
overdue liberation of her satellites.
Such action would indicate to mil
lions in East Europe and elsewhere
that perhaps, after alias Stain
said in an order of the day on
May /, 1942-"the Soviet Unions
aim Is clear and noble"

General Research

In discussion in and out Of the
Pentagon on general research and
development two viewpoints usu-
ally are expressed. The first view
point, held, in general, by Mr..
Wilson and his top research and
development officials, is this:
Defense already eats up about
half of the Nations research and
i development activity. About 81
billion is spent each year on all
research and development in this
country-by the Government. by
universities and non-profit organ
ization and by private industry.
More than ST. billion of that is
spent on Government projects; and
almost all Government research
and development is concentrated on
defense.
The Upshot
Two situations follow:
First, the percentage Of national
research and development going for
defense is quite high-about as high
as it should be in a Nation that must
improve its civilian as well as mill
tary technology.
Second, the defense projects
added onto normal civilian projects
have eaten up virtually all of the
qualified scientists and engineers.
The first point is a matter of de-
bate, but the second poses prac-
tical problem. For there is short
age now of technicians, particularly
of qualified project leaders. Already
there is some "slippage' in Pentagon
projects caused by the shortage. For
instance, contractor seeking to do
an Air Force job will hire away top
fight Navy scientists.
So many Pentagon officials be-
lieve that substantially more money
spent on research and development
will yield progressively poorer and
poorer returns.
Other View
The other point of view, raised by
the Hoover Commission but also
found in the Pentagon, is this:
The Russians are going all out in
research and development-pushing
ahead of the United States in some
fields, such as jet aircraft. We need
more research and development "in-
surance." We can't afford not to
step up the program.
This group does not concede an
absolute shortage of technicians and
insists the men will be found if the
m oney is spent.
The only way to settle this dis
pute is to go ahead and try an
accelerated program. Mr.. Wilson
told Congress he would launch new
projects If he could find persons
to carry them out and provided
Congress gives him more money.
AS disclosed by Star Staff Writer
John Giles (see news section) he
would like to be able to divert as
much as $500 million Of next years
defense appropriations.

| Jobs in the Defense Department
which should be filled by the
military and those which should
i be stated by civilians.
The committee said there pres
emily weren't enough opportuni-
ties for capable civilian employees
Ito advance to responsible jobs in
the Defense Department.
Also. it declared that the pay
for Grades IL and above was
not suitable for the responsible
ties and duties of the positions.
1t also criticized the lack Of
adequate training opportunities
for civilians to get ahead in the
department. Also criticized was
the failure to open up oppor-
ltunities for civilians to advance
to executive jobs.
The subcommittee recon-
mended:
/. The pay for civilian service
employees in grade IL and up
should be increased to a Level
more commensurate with the
pay for similar responsibility in
private life.
2. More opportunity should be
provided for career civilians to
rise to higher positions in the
support activities.
3. Greater training opportuni-
ties should be provided by the
Defense Department to develop
competent civilian managers
and technicians. Such training
should be provided within the
Defense Department and at
universities, colleges, industrial
plants and other training facili-
ties.
4. Establishment Of a senior
civil service of career executives
who would be assigned to vari-
GUS important duties as the
occasion arose (this also was
proposed by the full Hoover
Commission.
S. The personnel program of
the department should be indi-
vidualized by definite steps
to improve human relations
through better management and
supervision. These steps would
include better selection of super
Ivisors and managers, better
training and development of
supervisors and managers, re-
lance on men rather than on
rules and regulations, meaning
more delegated authority to act;
and more leadership from the
departmental, bureau, and COM
mand levels designed to improve
the caliber of management and
supervision and the morale and
productivity of individual work.

President Asks Congress
To Revise HOUSING Bill

ton" The boards chief func-
ton is to assist building and
loan associations and similar
groups.
Mr.. Eisenhower objected also
to a provision cutting the slum
clearance and urban redevelop-
ment program, for which $500
million is authorized. free from
the public housing program.
Many city planners had de-
Scribed as unnecessary obstacles
the old laws requirements that
the two programs must be
planned together, and that pub
lie housing must be reserved
for families displaced by slum
clearance.
Other Features of Law
In other provisions. the new
law:
Military housing - Puts UP
Sl,363, 100000 for construction OF
upward of 100000 dwelling units
for married personnel at military
installations. The Defense De-
partment would own the houses,
rent them to its personnel, and
pay for any losses.
Multi-family housing-Boosts
from 5 million to $12.5 million
the ceiling of federally insured
mortgages on such projects.
Trailer parks-Authorizes FILA
to insure mortgages up to $780,
600 for the construction of trailer
parks. The White House had OPP
posed this provision. but Mr.
Eisenhower did not mention ii
in his statement yesterday.
College Observation-Disclosures a
$500 million program of low-in-
terest loans for college construc-
ton projects.
Farm housing-ProvideS 500
million for farm housing loans.
Public facility loans-Sets up a
500 million revolving fund for
loans to municipalities for public
utility projects including water.
sewer and gas installations. and
the construction Of police and
fire stations. Mr.. Eisenhower
questioned the need for this
section.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-08-12

President Eisenhower says he
hopes Congress will act "at the
earliest opportunity to revise
the new housing law which he
approved yesterday while voic-
ing serious objections" to some
provisions.
He said in a statement that
he signed the bill because it con-
tanned important provisions
designed to eliminate slums and
to continue the mortgage insur-
ance program, thereby enabling
families of moderate income to
acquire or improve their own
homes"
The new law authorizes 81 bill
lion more for FILA mortgage in
surance. Without such authority
officials had estimated that this
program would grind to a halt
this fall.
It authorizes also the Con-
struction of $4,000 low rental
public housing units in the year
ending next June 80. This was
one of the provisions criticized
by Mr.. Eisenhower, who had
asked for $4,000 units in each
of the next two years.
THE full program which I
recommended is needed" he
said, land it can be carried out
by our local communities and
the Federal Government in a
more orderly and efficient man
ner over a two-year period"
Compromise Worked Out
The one year, $4,000 unit
program was compromise. The
Senate voted originally for 1885,
900 units a year for each of the
next four years. In the House,
Republican foes of public hous-
inng led a successful fight to
eliminate all authority for such
q grogram. The one-year figure
of $4,000 units was worked out
by a Senate-House conference.
The Federal Government does
not build public housing. Such
units are constructed by local
housing authorities and the
Federal Government pays a
subsidy to keep the rents low.
Mr.. Eisenhower described as
"a backward step" the new acts
grant of independence from the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency to the Home Loan Bank
Board. He said the move will
seriously impair -. co-ordlna-
