Referring to the Stain reign
of terror officially disclosed in
Mr.. Khrushchevs secret speech,
before the goth party congress

Dulles said:
THE principal political figures
in Russia today were all init

Stains close collaborators and
indeed the beneficiaries of his

The Secretary said the So

thus exposes the inability of the
Soviet Communist system to
liquidate its own evil leadership,
because it was the evil leader
who had the supreme power to

Chavez Predicts
Air Force 10 GET
Added Billion
Senate Debate Opens
On Arms Budget;
Vote Set Monday
BY j. A. OLEARY

Senator Chavez, Democrat of
New Mexico, predicted today the
Senate will approve all of the
nearly 81 billion the appropria-
tions committee added to the Air
Force budget.
The New Mexico Senator made
the opening speech on the $35
billion budget for all Of the
armed forces, but leaders have
agreed not to vote until Monday.
The Republicans. led by Sem
|ator Bridges of New Hampshire,
will try to cut the Air Force in
crease in half, on the ground
that the Pentagon cannot spend
the full amount in the next IL
months. The Republicans may
hold some parliamentary advan-
Itage by having their substitute
voted on first.
Expects to Pick up Votes
But Senator Chavez said to-
day he expects to pick up some
Republican votes for the full
amount, without losing more
than the three Democrats who
opposed it in committee.
Meanwhile, another ,Appropri-
atoms subcommittee. handling
foreign aid, heard Gen. Alfred
M. Gruenther, Supreme Allied
Commander in Europe. defend
the funds requested by the ADJ
ministration for NATO.
AS the debate began, observes
lpointed out that the Republican
motion to cut the increase to
$500 million will be voted on first.
If the Republicans get a major
lily for their smaller figure, the
Democratic amendment may
never be voted on.
But leaders have agreed to put
of the voting until Monday, and
Democratic strategists were re-
ported to be looking for a way
to overcome the advantage the
Republicans may have in the
present parliamentary situation
Foreign Aid Fight Ahead
| Meanwhile, Senator Long,
Democrat of Louisiana, pre-
dicted a substantial majority of
the 48 Senate Democrats will
vote to cut the foreign aid bill
below the $4.5 billion total re-
ported from committee.
Senator Long said this means
the Republicans, who number AZ,
will have to line up a strong vote
| for the committee figure to put
| it over.
The foreign sid measure has
been put of until after the Air
Force fight, and this may work
to the disadvantage of the for
eign aid bill. Any boost made
in Air Force funds will be used
as an argument for trimming
foreign aid.
On the other hand, Senator
Potter, Republican of Michigan,
said, today he fears drastic cuts
in foreign aid might neressitate
drafting more American boys to
replace allied troops manning
Overseas defenses. Senator Pot
ter is a member Of the Appro-
priation Subcommittee which is
holding hearings on the foreign
aid money bill.
