News Report From Washington

Staff, Admiral Arthur Radford, says
that no agreement with the Rus
SLAMS is worth anything because the
Communists have broken their word
on every agreement We have ever
made with them
Disarmament Dilemma
There are many who agree with
Radford's view Yet the President
hopes there is a way to ease the
heavy burden Of ornaments and be-
lieves that the Russians are actu-
ally feeling a strain because of their
heavy arms expenditures also. 1t is
because OF this conviction that the
President hopes something good
will come from disarmament pro-
posals after all
Negotiations may take long
time There may be slim prospect
that a certain percentage spending
cut can be made this year, although
the Reds have proposed a fifteen
per cent cut and the United States a
ten per cent cut But eventually
some defense spending reduction
might be agreed upon. 1t would be
q gamble, in sense, because the
Reds might fail to keep their part
Of the bargain.
On the other hand, the Russians
have already cut defense spending
several times in recent years and
three is just that glimmer OF hope
that they may be ready to live up
70 one agreement with the United
States.
Tax Cut Veto Cominge
The word il Washington is that
President Eisenhower will veto any
major tax cut voted by Congress at
this session. If true, that would APP
parently knock out hopes for tax re-
auctions as OF January / though
Congress could always provide for
such reduction early in the second
session Of its existence next year.
II may yet be possible that limited
tax cuts would clear the White
House desk though the Admins
tration il repeatedly strongly in
cllned To await tax collection news
and another budget study before be-
ing willing ID impose significant tax

WINGED his church should publish

Il worked in retail bookstores
a long time and knew Bible COM
mentaries. some so to 100 years
old, were selling WELL" he explained.
I'VE often had calls for 1000 COM

could sell those published by other
denominations, we certainly could
sell one put out by our church."
Mr., Snider spoke to many Ad-
ventists about his idea, but it was
10 years before he gained sufficient
support. Once he got started, the
project went alone swimmingly.
DR.. Nichols suggested a course of
procedure that quickly received the
approval Of the associations board

the first complete Seventh-day Ad-

in productivity.
To counter this danger. Yugoslav
planners hope that the incentives
provided by the workers councils

incentives prove to be overrated, the
Yugoslav Communist Party appara-
tus might have to be brought into
play to keep the workers councils
from running wild.
The important thing, from the
Yugoslav leadership's standpoint.
is to convince their laboring class
it is getting a better break than
the workers Of Hungary.
AS Yugoslav Vice President e.
Kardeli noted recently. Above all,
serious work is necessary to obtain
profound analysis of the causes
which led to the uprising in Hun
gary and TO similar phenomena in
Eastern Europe, and then to draw
conclusions which will help the
socialist forces to rid themselves
faster and more substantially Of the
heritage Of Stalinist despotism."
