(The State Department has
estimated that Russia has about
Az million men under arms with
IT'S to 225 divisions ready for
COMBAT. With advances in
atomic development, the Russian
leaders probably feel safe in re-
Iducing conventional arms.
Her manpower supply Slapped
by the new Swear industrial
plan, Russia urgently needs labor
for her farms.
The Russians announced last
December they had reduced their
armed forces by GAO, 900 men.
They acknowledged the chief
purpose for the slash was to in
crease agricultural output.
The United States has been
making a progressive cut in its
armed forces since it hit a post
war peak of 3,6S5,054 in April,
1852, during the Korean war.
The total on June 80, 1855, was
2,936.003. The goal under the
administrations cutback program
is 2,850,000 by June 80, 1856.

AFTER A DECADE IN PRISON CAMPS
German Reds Soy
Sister of Dulles
Planned Tunnel

BERLIN, May 10 (R.-The
East German Communists have
claimed that the spy tunnel
they accuse the Americans of
building to tap Red telephone
lines in Berlin was the BRAIN
child of United States Secretary
'of State Dulles sister Eleanor.
Mrs. Dulles, who uses her
maiden name professionally, is
special assistant to the director
of the State Departments Office
of German Affairs.
Adm, the East German gov
eminent news agency, charged
that the equipment-filled tunnel
under the border between the
and Russian sectors of
Berlin was built ION the initia-
tive and with the active support"
of Mrs. Dulles. 1t claimed she
had visited Berlin twice in re-
cent years to check on the
project.
The Russians on April % an
nounced discovery of the tunnel
and said American military au-
thorities" used it to listen in on
Soviet Army and East German
government conversations. To-
day Adm said it was a project
of United States Air Force in
telligence.
United States military author
tiles have neither denied nor
admitted the Russian charges.
They will say only that the case
has been reported to Washington.

Polio Strikes
81 in Week
BY the Associated Press

There we're 80 new polio cases
last week. This was an
increase Of l8 over the week
ended April %. and compares
with 149 in the corresponding
1855 week.
Since about April there have
been 395 cases. compared with
$50 in the similar 1855 span.
A Public Health spokesman,
however, reiterated the state
ment he made last week that ''it
is too early" to attempt any
gueSses as to what this may
signify for the rest of the year.
Health service officials also say
they don't think anyone can yet
tell whether use of Salk polio
vaccine is causing any drop in
cases.
The spokesman noted that the
last two weekly totals of IA and
90 cases have been exactly the
same as those for the correspond
ing weeks in 1852.
A severe outbreak starting in
July. 1852, made that year the
record one for polio with about
$1,000 cases.
He also noted that even though

not be conditional on the West

The Soviets proposed at the
London talks that the armed
forces of Russia, the United
States and Red China be limited
to l11a million men each. The
Western powers suggested a CELL
ing of 2la million. \

would like to cut her armed
forces for other reasons as well

Eden Comes Under Fire
In Frogmon Mystery

LONDON. May 10 (P.-La-
Iborites launched a major parlia-
Imentary attack on Prime Min
lister Eden today for failing to
clear up the British frogman
mystery.
Newspapers of various political
views also called on Sir Anthony
to tell what happened to Comdr
Lionel (Buster) Crabb, the diver
who disappeared April 10 near
the Soviet cruiser Ordzhonikidze
lin Portsmouth Harbor.
Sir Anthony found himself
projected into the eye of a po-
llitical storm. Public interest in
the case appeared to be building
Iup rather than diminishing
The powerful and independent
Times Numbered that this was
IAN unsavory affair"
In Parliament and out, Sir An
thongs refusal to discuss the
case in the House of Commons
yesterday was interpreted
rightly or wrongly-as meaning
that Comdr. Crabb was operat-
ling on secret service orders and
lost his life while trying to spy
|out underwater secrets of the
2,800-ton Ordzhonikidze. The
cruiser brought Soviet Premier
Nikolai Bulganin and Commu-
mist Boss Nikita Khrushchev on
their visit to Britain last month.
No Russian Protest
The Admiralty has said
Comdr. Crabb, 46. is presumed
dead, but thus far his body has
not been recovered. The Rus
slams who said they spotted him
near their ship have made no
protest.
Sir Anthony told the House
yesterday lit would not be in the
public interest to disclose the
circumstances" of Comdr. Crabb'S
disappearance. He added, What
was done was done without the
authority nor the knowledge of
her majesty's ministers" and
that appropriate disciplinary
steps were being taken.
But, asked the newspapers. is
the secret service being dis
ciplined for ordering Comdr.
Crabb to dive or for not telling
the Prime Minister of this project
in advance. The secret service
in Britain reports directly to the
Prime Minister.
Censure Motion Due
For that reason leaders of the
opposition Labor Party decided
to attempt to censure Sir An
thony individually. They plan
to introduce a motion in Parlia-
ment Monday to reduce the
Prime Minister'S pay. That is
the formal method of getting a
censure vote on an individual
The Laborite Daily Herald de-
scribed the Crabb case thus:
Nothing worse could have hap
pened to muddy our improving
relations with Russia. It will
not increase American con-
f1dence in British handling of
affairs"

Comdr. Crabb. a pioneer skin
diver, looking for as he prowled
the bottom of Portsmouth har-
Dor? Several conjectures have
arisen in the absence of an off,
|cial statement on the subject.
One theory gaining currency is
that he was interested in the
ships propellers. The Ord
zhonikidze reputedly has an
unusually high rate of speed,
developed in part by placing
her propellers in a tunnel ar
rangement in the hull.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Oct. 9 (P),
Postmaster General Arthur E.

Adlai E. Stevenson's criticism OF
President Eisenhower.
The cabinet member told a
injecting of the Ohio Federation

the Democratic nominee had
made himself a paramount issue
in the November 6 election cam
Ipaign.

this year because he is sure the
elephant does forget-and that
people forget, too" Mr.. Summer

to hold up Mr.. Eisenhower as
