A few weeks ago, America took
pride in the fleet of three B-52
jet bombers winging their way
around the world in record
breaking time. The U. S. Air
Force stressed that the planes,
capable of doing $50 miles an
hour, could have carried hydro
gen bombs and dropped them
anywhere along the route.
Actually, this proud proof Of
aerial might was only part
the more pleasant part--of the
story OF military aviation today
True. the B-52s might have
ranged over Moscow. Leningrad
and other cities that could be-
come targets in another war.
But what was forgotten in the
praise of the American fleet was
that the Soviet Union also has
an air force with striking power,

81 Billion Cut
In Budget Seen
BY Know|and
Trim by Congress
Will Aid Fight on
Initiation, He Says
BY the Associated Press

| ~ sAA~ eNDoONAobGa NANoo
Senator Knowland of Califor-
mia predicted yesterday Congress
will help along the fight against
imitation by cutting President
Eisenhower's money requests by
So billion.
The Senate Republican leader
told reporters he believes Con-
gress will find ways to slice that
amount out of the 1913 billion
in new spending authority the
President asked.
Mr.. Eisenhower and Secretary
OF the Treasury Humphrey have
expressed hope that Congress
can find places to cut their
budget.
The President proposed actual
spending of $71.8 billion in the
fiscal year beginning July / but
asked an additional SIS billion
be appropriated for later OUTLAWS.
Senator Knowland acknowl-
edged that Congress can't con-
troll directly the amount the adj
ministration actually will spend.
but he said a So billion slash in
authorizations would be bound
to cut these OUTLAWS.
Chain Reaction Seen
Such a reduction would set
of a chain reaction and force
department heads to look around
to see where they can save money
currently" he said. 1T GER
tainly will help to combat the
initiation problem if Government
spending can be reduced"
Senator Knowland pointed to
Mr. Eisenhower's proposed s4.-
1868. 100000 foreign aid program
as one Of the prime targets for
any congressional economy move
that develops. AS submitted by
the President. this program en-
visions a S256 million increase
over the present level Of assist
Iance.
OF the total. $2.5 billion would
be for military assistance to SO
countries. Senator Knowland
said he doubts that this figure
win be reduced materially. But
he said he looks for "suhstan-
ltial" cuts In the $l.763, 600, 900
proposed for economic aid.
Even II Congress forces re.
ltrenchments. Senator Knowland
said. he doesn't believe there will
be room for a tax cut this year.
Secretary Humphrey has op-
posed any reduction in levies.
Surplus to BE Small
There are still some peo-
pile around" Senator Knowland
observed. who think we ought
to reduce the national debt. The
margin of any surplus in the
budget is likely to be small in
fany event and it should be used
for debt retirement"
The Republican leader said
budget reductions seem likely
to be Congress principal answer
to the threat of imitation against
w hich Mr.. Eisenhower has
warned. The President said this
week that if labor and business
don't exercise voluntary re-
straints on wages and prices.
The Government may have to
step in.
The, Senate Republican leader
said. however, that "it would be
very difficult to get Congress to
pass any price-wage controls
after the OPA experiment" He
referred to the ONCE of Price
Administration, which flourished
in World War II.
Senator Bennett, Republican
of Utah, said controls never
worked anyway" A former pres
ident of the National Association

U.S.. Seeking to Avert
New Sanctions Crisis
Dulles Talks
To President
On Mideust
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press stan Writer

Associated Press stan Writer
A new crisis over the Middle
East sent President Eisenhower
and Secretary Of State Dulles
into a long distance telephone
huddle yesterday.
Besides talking to Mr.. E;sen-
hover. who is quail shooting in
Georgia. Mr.. Dulles also con-
ferred urgently with top advisers
here.
Off1cials are intensely worried
about the prospect that the Pres
ident and Mr.. Dulles will be
caught in a bad squeeze next
week over the issue of sanctions
against Israel. This could hap
pen unless Israel pulls its forces
Immediately out Of the GAIA
strip and the Gulf of Aqaba
region, as demanded by the
United Nations.
Tied into the problem are the
questions of getting the Suez
Canal reopened to world ship
ping, obtaining an arrangement
with Egyptian President Nasser
concerning the canals operation.
and the whole United States pol.
icy of wooing the Arab bloc.
Fear New Outbreak
Officials saw a possibility that
some new blowup may result
from the present tensions over
Israel's refusal to withdraw its
forces Internationally. If that
happens. it could cut heavily into
the gains which Mr.. Eisenhower
registered last week in his Middle
East diplomacy by reaching sue
cessful agreement with King
Saud Of Saudi Arabia. The King
left Washington yesterday en-
route home and Mr.. Eisenhower
land Mr.. Dulles are very hopeful
that his influence will weaken
Soviet prestige and increase CO.
Operation with the United States
by all the Arab nations.
The squeeze which the admin
listration now sees developing is
that between The Arab-Asian bloc
elof a nations in the United Ma
; tons, which want to penalize
Israel. and powerful elements in
Congress which object to impos-
ing sanctions. or at least object
r to imposing them on Israel
alone.
KnOwland Opposes Action
i Senate Republican Leader
lKnowland of California said last
week it would be immoral to
clamp down on Israel without
acting also against Russia. which
failed to comply with the U. N.
resolution to get its troops out
of Hungary.
/ Senator Wiley of Wisconsin,
senior Republican on the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee,
said yesterday he did not believe
it would be either fair or effec-
tive TO impose sanctions on Is
rael.
; Senator Wiley said he felt the
United Nations "rightfully in
sisted that Israeli forces with
draw promptly from Egypt"
But he said Israel definitely is
entitled to reasonable guaran-
tees of security and access to the
Suez Canal" in exchange for
withdrawal.
