Premier Khrushchev has
placed before the Soviet Com
munist Party q program sug-
costing he wants to erect q
monument to himself by plung-
ing the Soviet Union into an
economic revolution. II he gets
his program on the road, it
can signal sharp changes in
the global cold war.
The Khrushchev program
raises a possibility that the
premier - who will be 20 in
April hopes to bequeath to the
people something which viii
start them toward a more
abundant consumer economy.
At last the Soviet people are
being told they are entitled to
more consumer goods.
Could Be Important Turn
The program involves mas
sive investment-the equivalent
of $46 billion-in the chemical
industry in q 7-year plan. This
cure-all proposal to attack
agriculture's ailments and be-
gin providing the people with
adequate supplies of both food
and consumer goods in all like
lihood will require cuts in
heavy industry investment.
There will be grumbling and
sudden opposition in high
places, notably among unre-
constructed Stalinists and
among the high military brass
to whom heavy industry in
vestment means promise of
superiority in super-weapons,
space and world power.
The current Central Com
mittee meeting could mark a
historic turning by the gov
eminent toward its domestic
problems. That in turn might
mean Moscow would want to
avoid dangerous cold war con-
formations with the United
States.
Mr.. Khrushchev said his
program meant that perhaps
I'VE shall have to slow down
for a time the rate of growth
of some industries" He has
been arguing that heavy in
dustry already has been ade-
quately and solidly built. He
told the people. long plagued
by shortages and irritated by
lack Of quality and quantity in
consumer goods:
Now the state Is in a posi-
ton to channel enormous
means into the development of
chemistry, agriculture and
light industry, so as to produce
more goods and goods to salts
fly directly the peoples re-
quirements."
Wants Material Content
Revolutnonary-sounding Slo-
gans have been dear to the
Communist Party ever since it
took over power in Russia, but
now these are not enough, Mr..
Khrushchev said.
ITO go on proclaiming only
general slogans after the VIC
tory Of the revolution without
tackling in earnest the practi-
cal tasks Of building socialism
and communism would mean
to create a gap between noble
appeals to the people and the
practical activities of the
party" Mr.. KhruShchev said.
What we need in this case
is not slogans. 1t is material

Senators Get
Plea for
New Corps

Attorney General Robert
Kennedy told Senators today
that the Districts greatest
need is for more financial help
from Congress to provide de-
cent schools. better housing
and job opportunities for in
dividuals."
Testifying before a Senate
Public Welfare Subcommittee
in behalf of the administra-
tion's proposal for a National
Service Corps, he said trained
members of such a volunteer
domestic organization could
greatly help existing social
welfare agencies and volunteer
workers here.
But if I had my choice in
trying to solve the problems of
the District" he told the sub
committee, II would urge more
funds and legislative help to
help run Washington ade-
quately."
Mr.. Kennedy, who last
Wednesday urged a House Sub
committee to approve the pro-
posed 5.000-member National
Service Corps patterned after
the Peace Corps, emphasized at
the Senate Subcommittee hear
ing today that the program
would be completely non-dis-
criminatory and non-segre-
gated"
The Attorney General de-
clared that a National Service
Corps could perform varied
types Of work throughout the
United States but would not
be a federal bureaucracy dupli-
eating or interfering with To-
cal programs. He explained
that NSC workers would rot 20
into a State unless invited.
The subcommittee headed by
Senator Williams, Democrat Of
New Jersey. had Senator Ken
nedy. Democrat Of Massachu-
setts, as a member. Senator
Kennedy smilingly declined TO
question his brother, the Attor-
ney General.

ments of $3.50 a square foot

1t would be coupled with
shelter construction in all Fed

The incentive payment plar
is designed to provide about
10 million new shelter spaces
the first year it is effective.
Mr.. Kelleher said the shelter
development plan would cost
about S2.1 billion over a five
year period. He said the ad-
ministration proposal, tn {

Study Shows Delays
A staff study shows that 81
of 81 interstate projects in the
Washington area already have
been delayed from l6 days to
nine months, Mr.. Cramer said.
Representative Olsen, Demo-
crat of Montana, said delays
for the Inner Loop freeways
would only result in higher
costs for right-o of-way in the
end.
The presidential request for
delay of the Three Sisters
Bridge and the Potomac River
freeway came up during testi-
mony on several bills before the
subcommittee. Former District
Engineer Commissioner Lewis
w. Prentiss, executive vice
president of the American Road
Builders Association, mentioned
the local transportation tangle
in his testimony.
President Kennedy asked for
the delays because Of the claim
that a rail transit system might
make construction of certain
freeway links unnecessary, Mr..
Prentiss said.
The great weakness" In this
claim, he said, is that the rail
transit system will serve only
certain portions Of the COM
muter traffic load.
24-HOur Needs
The planned freeway system
Is needed to serve 24-hour
needs of commuters and the
requirements Of national de-
tense, Mr.. Prentiss added.
THE tragedy of the situation
is that We may be deprived of
these freeways for a period of
years." he said.
When committee members
asked Mr.. Prentiss his opinion
of the length of the restudy,
Mr.. Prentiss said he had no
idea how long it would take.
The National Capital Plan
ming Commission studied the
entire freeway system at length
years ago when Mr.. Prentiss
was on the commission, and
decided the Inner Loop free
way system was the key to i'm
proving Washington's tranSpor-
tation system.
"All of the authorized plan
ming agencies have already ap-
proved the Inner Loop" Mr..
PrentiSS said.
The Road Builders ASSoci-
alton is not opposing rapid
transit proposals, but feels that
previous planned and approved
freeways still will be needed,

Civil Defense Chief Steuart
L. Pittman calls the Kennedy
administrations SITS million
fallout shelter program a low
cost, liglited-coverage insur-
ance policy for Americans.
Mr.. Pittman told Congress
yester day the nuclear-ags
stakes are too high to ignore
any practical measures" that
could ease the impact Of an
enemy attack.
Mr.. Pittman, Assistant Sec
retary Of Defense for Civil De-
fenSe, spoke out after a con-
gressional staff attorney posed
a series of questions about the
feasibility and psychological
impact of vast shelter system
THE administrations civil
defense program is a moderate
but realistic effort to contain
and minimize the damage Of
nuclear attack on the United
States" Mr.. Pittman testified
before a House Armed Services
subcommittee.
"NO Panacea"
1T is no panacea," he said.
1T brings no security, only a
better chance to survive. It's
costs are moderate, but it is
not easy to implement"
Philip w. Kelleher, counsel
to the subcommittee. said In
his report on the shelter pro-
gram that the Soviet Union
might be able TO use nuclear
weapons to create vast fire
storms that would render fall
out protection worthless. He
went on:
Those who claim to know
say that this could be done. :. .
BY exploding their nuclear
weapons at high attitudes so
as to cause widespread fires
and no fallout whatsoever"
Mr.. Pittman said the threats
Of fire and germ warfare pro
woke q deeper. more instructive
fear" but lethal fallout would
be the chief danger in time Of
nuclear attack.
Possible Side Effects
Mr.. Kelleher also dealt at
length with possible side effects
Of a big federally aided shelter
program. He asked whether
"a sense Of security brought on
by the fallout shelter program
might to an equal extent lessen
the pressure Of the people for
a peaceful solution of our
international problems"
IF We feel to some extent
safe, do we not to an equal
extent lessen our efforts to re-
move the source of the dam
ger?" he asked.
Mr.. Pittman replied, ut
takes a deep distrust Of the
American people to suggest
that community involvement
