In a bristling speech climax
ing the campaign for Russia
one-party parliamentary cleo

Mr.. Eisenhower's proposal to in
clude in a summit parley tn,

remain ordinary onlookers anc
we will not leave our friends

Shortly before Mr.. Khrush-
chev spoke. the Foreign Minis
try proposed moving back the
time of a summit parley from
June to July. The ministry re-
newed proposals that a Foreign
Ministers meeting be held next
month to decide the agenda OF
a top level conference.
The West has rejected So
Wet limitations on Foreign
Ministers discussions and re-
fused to set a date for any
summit meeting until agree
ment can be reached on its
topics.
Mr.. Khrushchev declared
Russia would hold to its de-
termination to keep German
unification off any summit
agenda. Identification woulC
work itself out. he said, if for
eign troops were withdrawn
from Europe and both German
governments were given a
chance to establish normal re-
lations.
West Germany Willing
A West German government
spokesman indicated in Bonn
that it would be willing to drop
its demand that unification be
placed on the summit agenda
if the talks are confined to
disarmament.
Russia voiced formal objec-
tons yesterday against debat-
ing disarmament in the United
Nations Security Council. But
Western diplomats held hope
the SovietS would attend such
a session.
The Russian reaction came
from the Soviet Foreign Min
istry and Russian U. N. Dele

One Service Secretary Is Expected

Enough has been said here,

closer scrutiny than Congress

most controversial portions,
including the downgrading Of

pared to say that these por-
tons already are beaten.
One suggested that the adj
miniStration was in a sense
the victim Of its own success
in allaying public emotion
over the Russian conquest Of
outer space. He reasoned that
when this country got its own
satellites into orbit the heat
went of the Pentagon and
the attack on interservice
rivalries ceased to be effec-
tive.
The President bore down
heavily on such service ri

He will be heard sympa-
thetically by many members
Of Congress who want more

own grievance with equal
promptitude.
It is the Eisenhower pro-

sive to the decisions of mil
lions of people in every walk
Of life, there Is seldom an

Der Of possible solutions.
What is required of all of
us is that we bring our clear
est thoughts to bear on the
issues at hand. and that we
do our utmost to undertake
and support whatever actions
seem to be in the best inter-
est of the W h ole United
States. now and over the
long run"
The foregoing is being in
terpreted to mean that Sec
rotary Anderson now is more
hesitant than ever before to
recommend a tax cut which
would put the Treasury sew
eral billions into the red.
Some economists have said
it's wrong to decrease taxes
when business Is booming and
that it's desirable to cut
taxes when business Is in a
general decline. The sound
est doctrine, however. is to
cut taxes when expenses are
reduced. For IL public SPEND
ing unbalances the budget,
then tax duction will
plunge the Treasury into big
ger deficits. and this in turn
can produce an imitation that
substantially cuts down the
purchasing power of the
dollar.
So the administration Is
hoping it can postpone the
tax cut now being urged by
some as an emergency meas
ure and bring tax rates down
a year or two hence when
Government expenses can
also be reduced.

Lawmakers Seen Sounding Out Voters
On Whether to Meet With Soyiets

Although men like Prime
Ministers Macmillan and
Gaillard are aware of the
real truth. the Communist
propaganda supported noisily
by the neutralists and the
timid souls among our West
ern allies has placed the
leadership in an impossible
position: They cannot turn
down the Russian bid.
Prime Minister Macmillan,
for instance, is less concerned
over the loud demands for a
summit meeting from the
Labor opposition than by
that from his own Tories. He
has counted noses and has
discovered that in the event
Of a showdown he would be
defeated If the question Of
confidence on that matter
were raised in the House of
Commons. No fewer than as
Conservatives would join the
opposition. forcing him to
resign.
The French are anxious to
have us attend q summit
meeting. not so much because
Of the domestic situation but,
according to reliable reports,
because Moscow intimated
recently to the French am
basSador that the Soviet
Union would use bacteriolog-
ical weapons against France
In the event she is not neu-
trail in an American-Soviet
clash.
OF all the Western allies
Italy alone displays as little
enthusiasm as we do toward
a summit meeting. The
others are all in various
degrees pressuring President
Eisenhower to hold that
gathering. regardless Of its
consequences.

witnesses.
The President went further
toward centralized control
than had been expected. Yet
he did not satisfy those who
believe that bold new con-
cepts and possible abandon
ment Of the three services are
required for the space age.
Instead. his suggested So
luton seeks to compromise
many points Of view. This Is
in the nature Of the Presi-
dents usual approach to gov
ernmental problems. WHAT
ever may be said in its favor,
1t inevitably offers openings
for further compromise, shifts
and changes Of men Of strong
opinions In Congress.
The Presidents prestige to-
day Is not sufficient to block
such moves. Also since Penta-
gon reorganization is not an
issue which moves the grass
roots, the experts can have at
each other freely without fear
OF voter reprisal.
The President will also have
to answer the charge that
some Of the things for which
he now demands reform were
enacted at his request by
Congress in a mood to accept
him as a military arbiter.

and socialism. This is akin to
some extent to the Soviet
philosophy. So why risk the
hardships and terror of an.
other war when we could
avoid it by surrendering to
the Soviet Union the leader
ship held heretofore by the
powers representing free en-.
terprise and 'old-fashioned
democracy which is proving
itself unavoidable"
Communism, itself, is not
making much Roadway in
Western Europe these days.
But the emergence Of the
Soviet Union as a military
(and some say economic)
power capable Of challenging
successfully the United States
is responsible for the new
pattern of thinking in OPP
portunist Europe. We seem
chained to the European
chariot. This at least is the
deep belief of our policy
makers, who continue to live
in the era when Western
Europe represented at least q
buffer between rising totali.
tarianism and ourselves.
Those were the days when
Europe was still convinced of
"invincible America"
Things have changed. The
people Of Western Europe
have lost their confidence
in America, not because we
are weak but because they
want to. They have con-
WINGED themselves gradually
that America has ceased to
be the foremost nation in
the world and that our SUI
periority vis-a-vis interna-
tional communism no longer
exists. Because our past pol
icies have linked so firmly
to Europe's defense posture
which is rapidly waning
President Eisenhower feels he
cannot refuse to go to q
summit conference unless the
American people themselves
voice firm opposition to talk
ing to the Russians for talk
ing's sake.

Western European allies are

went to Munich.

that they would have to pay
