Gen. Twining Says Cut In Nations Defenses
 Could Lead to Disaster

NEW YORK, RAGen. Nathan F. Twining, Air Force chief of staff, says any cut now in the na- tion's defenses "could lead to the ultimate in disaster"
 Calling the current mainte- nance of US. military might a great bargain" he added:
 Ten percent of our gross na- tional product does not seem an excessive price for the security of the other 90 percent, not to men tion American lives"
 Twining, recently designated by President Eisenhower to be the new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made the statements last night in addressing dinner given in his honor by the Lotos Club.

Eisenhower Makes Strong Appeal
 For Mutual Security Program,
 Says Letters Now Support Him

WASHINGTON, RHPresident Eisenhower reported today there has been a gradual switch from opposition to support in the cor respondence flowing into the White House with respect to his budget and foreign aid program.
 Eisenhower was asked about the messages at his news confer ence, in a followup to his broad cast speech on foreign aid last night.
 In that address to the nation Eisenhower stripped off the vel vet gloves and threw some stiff verbal jabs at forces which want to make deep cuts in his $3,865,- 100000 mutual security program.
 He told the radio-TV audience that advocates of sharp economies in that field are gambling blindly and recklessly along a road to free world disaster"
 He spoke of "those blindly striving to save the money that must be spent as the price of peace," and said he doesn't pro- pose to take that gamble"
 espite EisenhoWer's stiffer stand, however, demands for big foreign aid cuts persisted at the

SdPlIO1.
 Today Eisenhower said that af- ter the budget first was formulat- ed his correspondence was pre- dominantly questioning or in op- position to a spending program which is the largest in peacetime.
 AS time went on and explana- tions were made at his news con- ferences and in speeches, Eisen- hover said there was a gradual turn. He said he finds today the correspondence is very much in favor of the administrations stand.
 He said he can't tell how much of this could be attributed to his speeches. But he said he has cleared his conscience in an effort to make America see what he said is so necessary for it's vel fare.
 In his talk to the nation, Eisen- hover came up with the fighting est appeal of his second term af- ter, saying anew that the cost of piece is high.
 Yet the price of war;" he add ed, lis higher and is paid in diff ferent coin-With the lives of our youth and the devastation of our cities
 '"To cripple our programs for mutual security in the false name of economy can mean nothing less than a weakening of our na- tion. To try to save money at the risk of such damage is neither conservative nor constructive. It is reckless.
 Tt could mean the loss of peace. It could mean the loss of freedom. It could mean the loss of both.

Stevenson Says He Could Have Done Better in Mid-East

LONDON, R-Adlai Stevenson said today that if he had been President of the United States last fall "it would not have been nec- essary for Britain to attack Egypt"
 But the Democratic Party lead CT declined to tell a news confer ence what his policy would have been if he had occupied the White House at the time of the Suez crisis.
 "That's a hypothetical question about hypothetical situation, '" Stevenson said. But, he added, "the U.S.A. would always have opposed the use of force"
 Stevenson did not elaborate but left the implication he felt the Eisenhower Administrations Mid dle East policy had been faulty and helped to contribute to the situation which eliminated in the British-French invasion.
 q think the loss of confidence between Britain and the United States is the most grievous conse- quence of Suez," Stevenson said. Tt has been a misfortune for both of us and I think it has been mishandled by both of us."
 Stevenson arrived in Britain last night for a 10-day visit, his first since 1853. He will receive an honorary doctorate from Ox- ford University Friday.
 Stevenson is accompanied by former US. Sen. William Benton of Connecticut. He is scheduled to go next to West and South Africa on a combined legal business and pleasure trip.
 He said during his tour he would visit Dr. Albert Schweitzer, "an old friend of mine," at his jungle hospital in Lamberene, French Equatorial Africa.

Defense Fund Cut Would Threaten Missile Program

WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower said today about half of the $215 billion cut in defense funds voted by House commit tee would cut directly into the na- tion's guided missile and aircraft programs.
 The country is going to suffer if the reduction approved by the House Appropriations Committee is allowed to stand with respect to those fields, Eisenhower told news conference.
 He also said he never will agree to a tax cut while the budget is in what he called it's current pre- carious state of balance.
 Discussing the $21s billion de- fense reduction approved by the House committee, the President said about $1,3OO,O 100000 of it is not budget cut at all but book keeping tactic.
 He went on to say that $1,2OO,- 100000 of the proposed reduction would, however, cut directly into the defense program in such fields as aircraft and guided missiles.
 At that point, Eisenhower said, we are going to have to suffer if that portion of the cut stands. He expressed hope the Senate will restore every cent of the S1,2OO,- 100000.

the presidential overture may
have been impromptu.
One of the first questions
asked at the press conference
referred to the upheaval in the
Kremlin leadership and the
elevation of Marshal Zhukov to
full membership on the Com
munist Party Presidium. Would
the President. consider inviting
Marshal Zhukov, or one or two
of the Kremlin leaders, to
Washington?
Sees Useful Purpose
Mr.. Eisenhower praised Mar
shall Zhukov but concluded his
answer on a negative note.
Merely because he is in the
Communist Party Presidium
does not create a reason for a
meeting. although there is a
history Of good coming out of
their past associations, he
said.
The second question on this
subject asked if the President

Gen. zhukov argued. appeal to
everything selfish in the indi.
vidual. They say a man car
earn what he pleases. buy what
he pleases. regardless of the
effect on other individuals.
Notes Strong Appeal
The President made it clear
he believes in the power OF
free-enterprise. of the inte-
grated force of ITO million peo-
pie. as he said. But he indi-
Gated that the appeal of COM
munist idealiSm, as differenti-
ated from communism in prac-
tice is considerable, in his
judgment.
Mr.. Eisenhower briefly an
alyzed the purge of "antiparty''
elements from the Communist
Party presidium late last
month. His ideas closely paral-
leled those of Secretary Dulles
in his news conference yester-
day.
Certainly, he said, the
changes in the Kremlin are
the result Of fundamental
pressures within the country.
Apparently, he added. the
group that went out could be
called traditionalists, the hard
core Bolsheviks.
Those who stayed in power
apparently were responsible
for the decentralization of in
dustry and other measures to
aid the conSumer-an idea
that seems to be sound, Mr.. Eli
senhower commented.
