|Gruenther Says
Aid Cuts Fortify
Russia S Hand

Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther
warned Congress today that any
cut in foreign military assistance
would play into the hands of
Soviet strategy for dismember-
ing the NATO collective security
system.
The NATO supreme military
commander. appearing before
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, denied that NATO
is falling apart" despite Rus
sia's soft talk" about reducing
her own military strength.
He said the French move
ment of troops to North Africa,
and apparent German lag in
building a NATO contingent,
and the British. Greek and
Turkish troubles on Cyprus. do
not mean that those nations
are losing faith in NATO.
Russia Still Strong
The military reductions the
Soviets say they are making
will not substantially affect
their capabilities against us. 7"
Gen. Gruenther declared.
Therefore, we feel that our
program for foreign military as
sistance is just as necessary as
lit was a month ago or a year
ago.
I'VE still must have a strong
military posture. Nothing be-
ing done on the Soviet side JUS
titles a reduction in President
Eisenhower's request for mill
tary assistance. The Soviet soft
line has created some worries
in Europe just as it has in this
country. But the alliance sys-
TEN is the only effective barrier
against the Soviets. Even If it
were true that NATO were fall
ing apart it would be the re-
, Sponsibility of the United States
to see that it was put back
together again"
Aid Funds CurtaiIed
/ Gen. Gruenther, who is re-
tirlng as NATO commander, tes-
titled before the Senate commit
tee in the midst of a COMPRESSION
al controversy over the mutual
security program.
!; President Eisenhower has
asked approximately $40 billion
for foreign economic and mill
tary aid. The House will open
debate next Wednesday on an
authorization bill from which
its Foreign Affairs Committee
cut $1.1 billion, mostly from the
So billion total sought for mill
tary assistance.
After his presentation at an
open session. Gen. Gruenthel
was questioned at a closed meet
ing of the committee. He con-
cluded his public report on what
he called a mote of optimism
that the outlook for the future
is moderately bright"
He conceded that several "un-
fortunate" developments have
occurred in recent months affect
ing the NATO system. But he
insisted that the NATO nations
will resist Soviet propaganda
and have accepted the collective
security concept"
Warns Against Russia
| The general nevertheless eau
toned that the NATO nations
must be even more alert against
Soviet attempts to weaken if not
wreck the organization by per-
suading some individual coun-
tries to stand aside
