Khrushchev has ratified his
rockets again.
The government newspaper
Izvestia reported the Soviet
governments decision not to
press for u. N. condemnation
Of the United States over the
U-2 and RB-47 plane incidents
in the interests OF improved re-
lations. This merely repeated
what Mr.. Khrushchev has al
ready told correspondents at
Kremlin receptions.
Izvestia went on to say that
the West should drop its res
olutionS which were mot
prompted by craftsmanship"
This was taken by diplomats
here to mean Hungary.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Khrushchev
in speech published last night
said once more that the Soviet
Union has enough hydrogen
and atomic weapons to blast an
aggressor off the earth and
that it has the worlds most
powerful rockets to carry nu-
clear bombs.
Mr.. Khrushchev said i'm
perialists might try to halt
Soviet progress by war, but he
warned that war would only
doom the capitalist world. He
added that the time is near
when our Socialist country
will triumph over capitalism
on all fronts Of peaceful COM
petition"
The speech was made to
agricultural workers in Sverd-
lovsk last Thursday.
Izvestia did not specify any
particular cold war issues the
Russians want the West to
drop. But likely candidates
are the complaints against
Chinese Communist domina-
ton of Tibet and the Soviet
suppression Of the Hungarian
revolt.
Trud, the Soviet labor news
paper, today took issue with
the Kennedy administrations
announcement that it did not
expect to complete formulating
its position on disarmament
until sometime during the sum-
mer.
Trud said the Democratic
Party leaders are familiar with
every aspect Of the disarma-
ment problem and should be
aware of the flaws in the policy
, Of the Eisenhower administra-
ton.
1T should not, therefore,
take them too long to work
out the new line in disarma-
ment. And yet the United
: States press is harping on the
United States determination to
prevent disarmament discus
sions at the current session
of the U. N. General Assembly"
Trud said.
Nobody stands to gain any
thing from a further delay in
solving the disarmament prob
lem. All this delay can do at
a time Of the arms race and
world tensions Is to bring about
fateful consequences"

The Kennedy executive or
der breaks new ground both in
the positive action it requires
Of Government contractors and
the power it gives the Job Op-

Must Report Compliance
sAnti-discrimination pledges
have been a standard part OF
Govern ent contracts for
years. For the first time, how
ever, the employers are re-
quired by the executive order
to publicize their anti-discrim-

to employment agencies and to
file regular compliance reports
with the Government, outlining
steps they have taken to out
law bias.
sAs in the past, chief reliance
for enforcement of the equal
Job rights policy will rest with
Government contracting agen-
cies. Priority will be given to
seeking compliance by confer
ence and persuasion.
But for the first time, the

empowered to:

Discrimination by labor un-
ions which has figured promi-

District and elsewhere, is slso
dealt with in the Kennedy ex-
eeutive orders.
Although direct sanctions
cannot be applied against the

Committee is directed to "use

Powell Comments
Chairman Powell Of the
House Labor Committee told
labor union representatives to-
day his group may have to look
into job discrimination by
unions.
II have faith that those Of
you who dwell in the great
house of labor will promptly
eradicate these despicable un-
American practices that a
handful of bigots has forced
upon you," Mr.. Powell said in
a speech prepared for the leg
islative conference Of the In

Mr.. Powell said Already, on
the basis of confidential infor-
nation being furnished me by
the public and by my investi-
gators, it seems that it will be
mandatory to move into the
area Of discrimination in en-
ployment by management. by

Expects Vast OutIayS
Senator Javits said there was
a trend toward extending vast
new credits to African nations
IN the future.
His major experience has
been in politics doing political
work for Boss Crump of Ten
nessee, as campaign manager
in 1850 for (retired Navy. Ad-
miral John g. Crommelin.
Alabama's notorious racist, and
as campaign manager for Gov.
John Patterson, where he saw
nothing wrong with accepting
support identified with the
Ku Klux Klan.
"The record before the
Committee on Banking and
Currency clearly shows, in my
view, that he is unqualified to
take on a sensitive position in
the international field.
Hit by Jewish Group
He said, for example, that
Admiral Crommelin'S anti
Semitic and anti-Negro views
were not known or at issue
when he was campaign man
ager in 1850. And Mr.. Meri-
wether testified that he did
not publicly repudiate Crom-
melin's views or break with
Crommelin until 1858, long
after Crommelin's views were
quite obvious to everyone in
Alabama"
Yesterday, the head of the
American Jewish Congress criti-
cized Mr.. Meriwether's nom
ination, saying there were
many unanswered questions
regarding his past relations
with the Ku Klux Klan.

important in the campaign to
achieve a general balance OF
payments throughout the free
world, Mr.. Dillon testified. He
said exchanges of views through
the proposed Organization for
Economic Cooperation and
Development and through other
agencies should help curb sharp
swings in interest rates. which
contribute to imbalanceS.
Domestic Role Cited
On the domestic front, Mr..
Dillon said, "the role of the
Federal Government as an en-
ergizing force in the growth of
our economy and as a stabiliz-
ing influence upon its ups and
downs Is daily becoming more
important"
He said the economic situa-
ton requires "the stimulating
potential Of a larger Govern
ment budget within a finan-
cially orderly framework"
Confirming widespread hints
by Government officials. Mr..
Dillon said "a modest and tenn
porary deficit" is inevitable for
fiscal 1862, the year starting
next July /. Former President
Eisenhower had forecast a sur
plus of Sis billion.
Mr.. Dillon had said pre-
viously that he expected a
deficit Of perhaps 81 billion for
fiscal 1861, instead of the $7e
million surplus forecast by Mr.
Eisenhower.
One reason for projecting a
fiscal 1862 deficit, he said, is
that corporation profits in cal
endar 1861 now are estimated
at about $43 billion instead OF
the Eisenhower budgets fore
cast Of $46 billion. He added
that personal income may fall
short Of Mr.. EiSenhower's SAILS
billion estimate.
Because the economy is op-
Grating below capacity and un-
employment is high, Mr.. Dillon
told the committee. the Gov
ernment can run a reason
able" budget deficit and loosen
up credit without running the
risk Of initiation.
When economic strength is
restored, Mr.. Dillon said, the
United States will be able to
run budget surpluses matching
or exceeding the deficits Of re-
cession years.
Move Incentives Planned
He reported that Treasury
and Federal Reserve Board pol
icies have reduced long-term
interest rates somewhat, In
line with the Presidents efforts
to encourage mortgage H.
nancing and investment by
State and local governments
and local corporations.
Additional incentives for in
veStment, Mr.. Dillon said. will
be proposed soon by the Presi-
dent in a tax message. He
said the basic goal Of the ad-
ministration's tax policy Is ito
develop and maintain a strong
tax system which will meet the
revenue requirements Of the
Government, contribute to eco
nomic stability, and further
the objectives of a dynamic
and growing economy"
While arguing in defense ol
a budget deficit, Mr.. Dillon EN-.
phasized that he does not ex'
pect the Federal budget to fal
deep into the red. He said tht
deficit for fiscal 1861 probably
will be 81 billion to SIS billi'or
or a little larger. He did no
estimate the prospective defici
for fiscal 1862.
Attacks Bond Rate Ceiling
Mr.. Dillon said the AZ pc
cent ceiling on interest that tn,
Treasury may pay on bond
docs not make a great deal o
economic sense" He said tn
problem of the ceiling no wi
academic" because prevailing
interest rates: are well beloV
; 4A per cent. But if rates agail
rise close to ~ per cent, h
said. he will recommend re
, moval Of the ceiling.

Loose Smut In Barley

Several farmers throughout Del
aware and Maryland are noticing
back, smutty heads of barley thru
out their fields There is no con-
troll or spray that they should
apply now though, says Ed Ralph
associate county agent.
Loose smut shows up on the first
heads of barley, and it looks as
though most of the crop is ruined.
However, as later uninfected heads
appear there seems to be less dam
age.
Close examination of the infec-
ted heads will show that the grains
have been replaced by greenish-
black bodies within a delicate
membrane. These bodies 90 n
break, releasing masses Of dusty,
dark brown spores.
The spores of loose smut are re-
leased from the infected heads
when normal plants are Towering.
They are spread by rain, air and
insects and lodge in healthy flow
