Russians Fear
Rule Topping,
Head Says

The Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency said today
that Russia's brutal smashing of
the revolt in Hungary was an
indication that the Soviets fear
their domain throughout the
world is on shaky ground.
Allen w. Dulles told the Amer
lean Association of Land Grant
Colleges and State Universities
that the complete reversal of a
short-lived policy of tolerance by
the Soviets may mean that Rus
STA is back again to the policy of
ruthless Stalinism."
The head of the United States
intelligence Agency said the pre-
yious announcement that the
hungarian situation could be
settled by negotiation was made
~ the Red leaders after decid-
ing that their whole satellite
territory was threatened if the
1ungarians gained complete
freedom.
Mr.. Dulles also told the edu-
Gators Red control in Russia it
self is at stake because the peo-
pie there must be educated in
order to have the country COM
pete with the Western world.
Education Perils Control
Education is most dangerous
drug for dictators, and Soviet
leaders may be creating a situa-
ton in the USSR which even
tually-not tomorrow-but some
time will cause pressure for fur
ther liberalization of political
life. still less police coercion,
greater economic benefits for the
Russian people and more effec-
tive consultation Of the wishes
Of the governed" he said.
Mr.. Dulles said Communist
boss Nikita Khrushchev took "a
great gamble" when he relaxed
Stalinization in Russia. But, he
added, "A little relaxation of
freedom in the Soviet Union,
where, after all, Russians were
ruling Russians. was a very diff
ferent thing from using the same
tactics in Eastern Europe. There,
Russians were ruling peoples
who were once free and came to
be dominated and controlled by
a hated foreign power"
But he said the move was nee
essary because the Soviets feared
the consequence of Stains policy
at home and abroad and tried to
give Communism some of the
surface attributes of a decent
way of life"
He added that there is no
doubt that this has constituted
more subtle threat to innocent
abroad who like to think that
Communists are solely interested
nj the welfare of the people
whose friendship they cultivate
Earlier, Air Force Secretary
Quarles said today it must be
assumed that Russia will be able
to develop ocean spanning
atomic missiles capable of hit
ting targets in the United States
With disastrous accuracy"
Big Techanical Effort
Mr.. Quarles said a disturbing
spect' of the world picture is
hat the Soviets have been will
1g "all along to concentrate
very large part of their technical
nd industrial effort" on devel-
'pment and production of the
1ost advanced weapons, partic-
lsrly in the air and atomic
lids.
They have devoted to these
forts a much larger fraction Of
heir national economy than q
democracy like ours considers
advisable" he continued. while
direct comparisons are difficult.
we have evidence to show that
the average Soviet industrial
worker has about one-half the
productive capacity of his coun-
erpart in the United States.
"Yet he must work four time
rs long as to enjoy the same re-
wards. The clear implication Is
that the Soviet dictators in orde-
to promote their domestic anc
foreign schemes. deprive the
Russian people of more than half
of the fruits of their labors.
While advocating disarmament
they build vast ornaments"
Cites Bomber Output
Mr.. Quarles then went on to
point out that long-range jet
bombers are now coming of
Soviet production lines and that
they are capable of delivering
atomic weapons on American
targets.
Large fleets of advanced jet
fighters and light bombers are
already in operational USE he
said. Great jet transports are
making regular runs between
Russian. industrial centers.
"The Soviets are capable of
building atomic weapons at an
imposing rate" he added.
