of current foreign-aid funds
from other areas to the Middle
East, and Mr.. zablocki wanted
to know from what areas money
would be taken.
Mr.. Dulles replied that foreign
aid programs are mapped out
two years in advance and that
some situations get better while
others get worse before they are
carried out
To-day this situation has got
ten so much worse that, if nee
esSary, we could rob every other
area to take care of it," said the
Secretary.
Sober COunsels
Mr.. Dulles told Representative
Smith, Republican of Wisconsin,
ne did not think this aid pro-
gram could be made contingent
on a settlement of the Arab
Israel disputes because, even
with goodwill on both sides, it
would take long time to con-
vert the present armistice into
a peace agreement.
The Secretary testified that
the Soviet Union is telling the
Arab states that IF you will just
play with us we. will see to it
there is not going to be any
Israel" The Secretary said the
first thing to do is get enough
stability in the area 80 that
more sober counsels will prevail. i"

Hopes Rise
 For Break in JUN. Arms Deadlock

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., R- Hopes rose today for break in the disarmament deadlock
 Russia and the West reportedly took a second -and more favor able-look at India's compromise plan aimed at reviving the stalled arms talks.
 Both sides conferred with In- dian Delegate V. K. Krishna Menon. Menon wants to almost double the size of the disarma- ment commission to try to get Russia to drop her threat to boy colt the 12-nation body and its five-nation subcommittee Both Russia and the West had brushed off India's plan two days ago.
 Russia apparently saw the plan as a face-saving way to retreat The JUN. Political Committee de feted her proposal that all 82 JUN members be included in the arms talks, but some observers figured l that demand was bargaining maneuver designed to get a small CT increase.
 If the big powers concur, the plan appeared certain of approval by the rest of the member states. They are well aware that it would be futile to resume the arms talks without Russia sitting in.

2,7OO, ,OOO WORKERS LOST TIME IN OCT. DUE TO ILLNESS

WASHINGTON, R-The gov- ernment reported today an un- precedented 2,700,000 workers lost working time in October due to illness, chiefly Asian flu.
 The monthly combined employ ment report of the Commerce and Labor Departments showed a slight increase of 100000 jobs in October to total of 66 million.
 Nearly all the change repre- sented a recovery in the farm work force from September's un- usually low level which resulted from bad weather. Non-farm en- ployment remained virtually un- changed, instead of showing a customary fall pickup.
 Total unemployment, which normally declines somewhat at this time of year, remained un- changed at 1872 million between September and October

Midtown MIC. Disrupted by
 Burst Water Mains

NEW YORK REBustling Man haitian, one of the busiest places on earth, was thrown into a snarl of confusion last night and today by a f1ood-fron broken water mains.
 The huge conduits snapped at five different places. Subways were shut down, forcing thou sands of persons to seek other means of transit. Midtown base ments were flooded causing some buildings to turn off heating equipment Water supplies of oth- CTS were disrupted.
 Torrents of water bursting up- ward from broken mains gushed down streets, ripping up pave ment and cascading into subways.
 At one point late last night the famous Metropolitan Opera House was marooned on an island ere ated by streets full of water all around it. Formally attired pa irons halted at opera exits in per plexlty.
 At nearby Times Square, thea tre crowds gathered on the firing es of the flood.
 Subways were shut down, fore ing thousands of persons to seek other means of transit.
 The five water main breaks occurred over a wide area, but the troubles apparently were un- connected. The causes were not known.

 WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower says Russia quite likely leads America in some areas of missile development. And he has appointed scientist ex- pediter to the job of pushing this country ahead in this age of outer space weapons.
 The President told the nation last night he is giving that big job to Dr. James R. Killian, presi- dent of famed Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology.
 At the same time he said the Defense Department is strength ening the hand of its own missiles coordinator, William M. Holaday.
 In a coast to coast TV and radio address, Eisenhower said the So- viets not only are quite likely ahead in some missile and special weapons areas, but fare obvious ly ahead of us in satellite devel- opment."
 We frankly recognize" he
 added. That the Soviets are
 building up types of power that
 could. if we were attacked. damage us seriously. This is be-
 cause no defensive system today
 can possibly be air tight in pre-
 venting all break-throughs of
 planes and weapons"
 But On the reassuring side, the President said this:
 M As of today the overall mili- tary strength of the free world is distinctly greater than that of the Communist countries"
 He went on to recount a nuclear superiority in which i've intend to stay ahead; family of 38 diff ferent kinds of missiles in opera tion or development; and such other US. strong points as atomic submarines, powerful air fleets, aircraft carriers and atomic depth bombs.

Heavy and Tasteful Hunting Is
 Depicting Alaska Walrls Herds
By FRANK w. vAILLE

< WASHINGTON RAHeavy and wasteful hunting practices are cutting down Alaska's walrus herds, Fish and Weldlife spokes- men said2 today. 97
 A telegraphic report from the Alaska regional office of the Bu- reau of Sport Fisheries and Wild life, made available here, ex- pressed conviction the combined kill by Alaskan and Russian Es- kimos during the past year "con- siderably exceeds the reproduc- tive capacity of the herd"
 Altho no reliable figures on the walrus take are available, the re- port said the best estimate would place the kill by Alaskan Eskimos at approximately 2,500.
 Still others may be slain this month during the animals south bound migration. A few are taken each month in Togiak Bay.
 Of the estimated 2.500 wal
 rus killed so far this year. the
 report said. moi more than
 l.500@ have been recovered by
 inc native hunters.
 More carcasses washed on
 beaches this year than for sew
 eral previous years" the report
 said.
 The report added that the bod ies have been found s'all the way from Bristol Bay to Barrow"
 Officials in Washington said the service has been considerably concerned for several years over Eskimo hunting practices, both as to the manner of hunting and the number taken.
 Such practices include hunting with rifles, which permits the slain animals to sink in the water, rather than with harpoons; kill ing of animals merely for the tusk ivory without utilizing the meat and skins; and killing of fe- males with nursing young.
 Altho walrus hunting was just this year opened for the first time to non-natives, reports indi- cate it has added little to the hunting pressures upon the herd.
 Only four such licenses were issued during the year, three to non-residents, out only one or two were successful in obtaining trophies

NAMES SCIENTIST
 TO HEAD US. SPACE PROGRAM

l pointment of the 53-year- old Kill lian in the first of a series of "chins up" speeches designed to bolster the confidence of Ameri- cans in the nations scientific de- velopment and defense generally.
 The President spoke out af-
 ter a round Of criticism BY some
 members of Congress and oth-
 CTS thaf the administration has been too complacent aboua Russia's satellite and ballistic missile progress. "A Senate sub
 committee is planning an inves-
 tigation nf the situation.
 Eisenhower told his TV-radiO audience he was laying out the facts, ''the rough and the smooth g
 And he said he was empower ing Kilian, who has record of government service, to prevent needless delays, to crack down against any interservice rivalry, and to give high priority to hush hush programs which the Presi- dent merely hinted at.
 At Cambridge, Mass, Killian said he intends to move as rapid ly as possible to marshal the best scientific and engineering judg- ment and creative talent in the United States and make it evail- able to the missile field.
 Eisenhower said:
 T have created the office of
 special assistant to the Presi-
 dent for science and technology. ] This man. who will be aided by staff of scientists and a strong advisory group of outstanding
 experts reporting 10 him and fo'
 me. will have the active respon-
 sibilitY of helping me follow
 thru on the program x.
 Eisenhower said he and Defense Secretary McElroy have agreed that any new missile or related program originated from now on will, wherever practicable, be put under single manager and be administered without regard to the separate armed services.
 The President also said he will propose to Congress legislation to remove legal barriers which block exchange of certain technological information with friendly coun- tries. There is legal barrier only with regard to atomic informa- ton on the making of weapons.
 If such legislation is passed, he plans to push for a scientific com mittee within NATO for pooling of research efforts along the lines of preliminary agreement which the President recently reached with British Prime Minister Mac Milan. Similar action in the Southeast Asia Treaty Organiza- ton (SEATO) and in comparable organizations also will be studied.
