Others said they saw the
woman walking in the parking

she was noticeable because of
the contrast in the compilations
of the woman and the child and
also because of the awkwardness
with which she carried the child.

Ito the American people.
1.-THE overall goal" the Senator
added, "is to bring about reme-
dial legislation l hope the COM
Imittee will submit to Congress
early next year."
Senator Gore said it was not
the purpose of the inquiry to
discourage any legitimate CAM
Ipaign contributions" and added
so long as we have the present
system, political contributions
are necessary and the right kind
are in the public interest. Any
contribution that will be dis
Icouraged by public disclosure
may be of questionable nature
anyway"
His ultimate goal, the Senator
SAID, was ito free Federal cleo
lions from private subsidy"
In addition to Senator Gore,
members of the subcommittee
are Senators Mansfield, Demo-
crat of Montana, and Curtis, Re-
publican of Nebraska.
The study of possibly far
reaching political consequences
was formally authorized by the
subcommittee at a Friday morn
ing meeting which also adopted
rules governing the conduct of
contests and complaints grow
ing out of the November 6 cleo
ton.
Only the two Democratic
members attended the meeting
Senator Gore said they discussed
the study with Senator Curtis
by telephone.
The Tennessee Senator indi-
Gated he had not discussed ii
with the Democratic and Re-
publican leaders of the Senate
in advance except in a short
conversation with Senate Demo-
cratic Leader Lyndon B. John
son of Texas on the Senate floor
one night during the closing
rush of Congress.
Neither did he discuss it in
advance, Senator Gore said, with
the heads of the Democratic and
Republican National Commit

However, by subcommittee de-
cision. Senator Gore telephoned
the Office of both Mr.. Butler and
Mr.. Hall to inform them in adj

EGYPT

August shows that on q occa-
sions the papers reported some
new trade deal or negotiation
with the Communist world
egypt allots $4,000 to buy
farm machinery from East Ger
many; Russia agrees to export
quantities of wheat to Egypt;
Red China negotiates new trade
pact. etc.
Delegations Are Active
During the same month there
were % cultural and trade dele
cations active in promoting
Egyptian Communist relations.
The Communists offer to give
generously of their culture, drink
deeply of Arab culture, trade on
strictly businesslike terms and
ask no embarrassing questions
What effect does this "selfleSs'
wooing by the Communists have
on the Egyptians?
First of all. Americans follow
ing these issues here say Egyp-
tians come back from behind the
Iron Curtain unimpressed by the
Red way of life. The type of
Egyptian who makes such trip
is better off than the vast ma
jority of Communists.
Second. Red cultural missions
here are great success. Egyp-
tianS love Russian ballet and
Oriental scholars.
Third, economic ties with the
Red bloc are becoming stronger
and stronger.
The future effect of these eco
nomic ties is debated here. Some
observers believe Egypt eventual
ly will be SO entangled she will
be forced to go along with the
Communist bloc in every way
Others believe the Egyptian
standard of living is so low eco
nomic pressure could not become
a deciding factor,
Reds Move Carefully
Political influence is another
problem. The Soviets apparently
have a limited objective now.
Make Egypt believe the Com
munists are on her side and en-
courage Egyptians and other
Arab nations to remove West
ern influence completely from
the Middle East.
No one who has had experience
in trying to work with the Com
munists over a long period
Egyptians have not had this ex-
perience-can believe for a mo-
ment that Russia will continue
to promote Egyptian interests
observers here believe the
honeymoon will end when and il
Egyptian leftists gain strength
and become convinced that not
only does Russia agree with
Egypt but that Egypt must agree
with Russia. Then Egypt could
start down the Russian path.
Or Russia someday will try to
force Egypt along. using all the
ties built up during the course OF
Egypt's present policy.

American Activities, Mr.. Dulles
declared "the danger of parlia-
mentary compromises with the
Communists even in Europe is
not to be ignored" The threat
is greater in Asia because it is
generally less understood, he
said.
1.-THE Communists propose to-
inf1ltrate our free legislative
systems, to take over our par
Iliamentary governments. and to
use the freedom which our
system of government gives to
destroy all vestiges of that
system" the CHA head charged.
Should Recognize Danger
1.-THE free world is confronted
with the plain fact that a great
foreign power with vast re-
sources to back a program of
subversion and cajolery proposes
to do everything it can to see to
lit that free governments shall
perish. !. 1t is well to recognize
the danger. On the other hand
there is no ground for panic.
Nowhere outside of the
USSR, with the qualified ex-I
Iceptions Of Czechoslovakia and
Guatemala, have the Commu-
nistS succeeded in Subverting al
free government except with the
aid .eof armed force. The
IKrenilin leaders have told US
what they propose to do. 1t is up
to the~leaders of the free world,
working together as allies and
friends, to help to uncover and
Ito Illustrate this Communist de-
sign which otherwise could
threaten to wreck the free insti-
buttons of many countries and
even endanger our own"
While explaining there is
nothing essentially new about
the Soviet design for boring into
free parliamentary and electoral
systems, Mr.. Dulles emphasized
that it now is the prime purpose
of the supposedly more friendly
Kremlin leaders.
Principal Targets Now
1t is particularly perilous in
Italy, France and Indonesia be-
cause the strategy already has
made Roadway there and those
countries are principal targets
lat this time, he informed the
House committee.
"A recent Indonesian govern
.ment permitted Communist in
Ifluence to reach far into the
Ministry of Defense" he re-
ported. More than in Europe,
the Communist parties have
managed in many countries to
acquire a dangerous degree of
responsibility and of acceptance
as just another political party.
"The Communists see their
greatest opportunities where
they now have the strongest pen
letration into the parliamentary
machinery of free governments.
In several countries these pene-
t.ations are serious"
Notes Parliament Power
Mr.. Dulles noted that the 500
member Italian parliament has
143 Communist members. He
added that rs Nenni fellow
travelling left-wing Socialists, ;"
consistently vote and act with
the Communists. The French
