Vishinsky’s old job as a first deputy foreign minister.

Kudnetsov, one-time Ford Mot or do. worker and ex-chief of the USSR's trade unions, had been a plain deputy foreign'minister.

Two Others Promoted Humphrey Defends Road Plans WASHINGTON, March 22 (Jt) —Secretary of the Treasury George C. Humphrey defended the administration's vast highway program before critical senators today as sound, responsible and devoid of dishohesty or tricks. Yet on a major point of con troversy, whether the plan ac tually would add billions to the national debt, Humphrey said he would welcome a redefinition of the debt to include the program. The secretary conceded there are objections to the plan. And he said “If somebody has a better one. I’d like to see it go forward.” Members of a Senate Public Works subcommittee, before whom Humphrey testified, indi cated that they think they can come up with something better, particularly on the financing. The big dispute isn’t oyer the idea of building mote and better roads, but over the financing. The administration plan calls for federal government, states and localities to spend 101 bil lions for setting Up a federal cor poration in charge of building a 40,000-mile network of interstate highways. Thirty-year bonds would be is sued to finance the interstate Sys tem and would be paid off, in effect, from taxes on gasoline and motor fuels. Technically these bonds would not be part of the regular public debt. Humphrey said he would not object if Congress .boosted the federal gasoline' tax, which he said would be similar to charging Turnpike Extension Plan HARRISBURG, March 22 {lt) The Senate Highways Committee today approved a plan to author ize construction of an east-west extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike from Sharon to Strouds burg. The measure, approved by unanimous vote of the commit tee, would mean rejection of a parallel route across the northern tier counties lining the New York border.

Both previously were mem bers of the ministry’s governing boardits collegium. One, N. O. Fedorenko, appar ently has been specializing on Asian affairs. The other, V. S. Semyenov, is an authority on Germany. He has been Soviet am bassador to East Germany and So viet high Commissioner. The changes followed by 24 hours the announcement of the removal in disgrace of Georgi F. Alexandrov as minister of cul ture. Not a Career Man Kuznetsbv is not a career dip lomat. He ran the Soviet trade union movement from the end of World War II Until Stalin’s death two years ago. He worked at Ford’s Sprawling Rouge plant in the Detroit area in the early 1930 s as one of thou sands of exchange students. He went back to Detroit as chairman of the Central Committee of So viet trade unions in 1945, while Russian-American relations were still Cordial, and WaS feted by CIO officials at a banquet. There have been recent sugges tions ahiohg diplomats in Moscow that Molotov’s position might be shaky. But it is not clear how closely the promotions in the For eign Ministry may be related to other shifts in high Soviet gov ernment posts sihce Georgi’Mal enkov fell aS premier and was replaced by Marshal N. A. Bul ganin last month.

Eisenhower said to day, “We are not going to win the ideological contest” with commun ism. He sounded this note of warn ing as the Senate Finance Com mittee resumed heatings on his controversial proposal for a three year extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act with ex panded tariff-cutting powers. In an informal talk to the Ad vertising Council, a group of pri vate businessmen who aid the government on public service pro grams, Eisenhower said a trade plan doesn’t just mean opening American markets to people all over the globe. “Like all other foreign policy, its genesis is the ehlightened self interest of the United States,” he said. “But it is in recognition of this fact, that if the United States it self is to prosper, it must have means by which it can sell its products, and therefore it has to buy others.” Eisenhower said “it would be fatal, in my opinion, here at home to allow the accumulated minor objections of each district or each industry ... to defeat us in this great purpose of the economic union.” Churchill Disavows Remarks on Poles LONDON, March 22 (JP) —Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill said today he does not remember making the sort of remarks about the Polish people attributed to him in the American version of the Yalta conference proceedings. Churchill told Parliament that if he had indeed said what the American version reported, the remark must have been taken completely out of its context. The American version had Churchill saying: “In Parliament I must, be able to say that the Polish elections will be held in a fair way. I do not care much about the Poles myself.” Las Vegas. The highest reading in town was 5 mr. Normal is 2 mr. The Atomic Energy Commis sion termed the increase insigni ficant. The 500-foot tower shot was used by 2000 men of the third Marine Corps Provisional Atomic Exercise Brigade, Camp Pendle ton, Calif., for the most elaborate maneuvers yet held at the AEC site. The Marines ducked in six-foot trenches 3500 yards from ground zero as molten bits of steel tower fell back to the ground. Ten minutes after the blast, radiation safety teams gave the okay and helicopters began flying the atomic brigade forward in a 105 S. Allen St., Stale College, Pa. ™ A AHA 1 Stand Is Doubtful On Big 4 Talk Plan WASHINGTON, March 22 (/P)—A series!of official statement* left in doubt today just where the administration stands on the pro* posal by Sen. Walter George (D.-Ga.) for a conference with Russia. The only thing that seemed certain was that neither the White House nor the State Department wanted to get into any public dis- pute with George. He is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and has proposed a Big Four meeting to try to les sen world tension. President Dwight D. Eisenhow er will have an opportunity at his news conference tomorrow morn ing to clarify the administration attitude. These things happened today Eisenhower Opposes Plan 1. Sen. William F. Knowland (R.-Calif.), who personally op poses such a meeting, said after a White House meeting that Pres ident Eisenhower also is against George’s plan. Russia must first demonstrate by deeds rather than words that it sincerely wants a conference, he said. 2. White House press secretary James Hagerty later said he saw no inconsistency between George’s stand and that taken by Presi dent Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles. 3. The State Department in a prepared statement said George’s views, first disclosed Sunday, were in harmony with those of Dulles. 4. After first refusing to elabo rate, a State Department spokes man, press officer Henry Snydam, called reporters together an hour later to say: The department was also standing on a statement is sued yesterday which expressed opposition to any conference un til there is evidence of a basis for agreement, especially on German and Austrian problems. Dulles himself had some off the-cuff comment on the subject later in the afternoon. After ad dressing an off-the-record meet ing of the Advertising Council at a downtown hotel, he told a re porter who questioned him the United States could not change its previous opposition to an early Big Four meeting without con sulting its major allies.

A 28-helicopter shut tle service moved nearly all of the 2000 men forward within two hours. The Marines were testing new tactical concepts 'trying to deter mine how fast an atomic explo sion can be exploited against an enemy. However, there was the possi bility the two-day maneuvers might be cut short. The AEC said the weather forecast was favor able for another shot tomorrow. If held, this would be the major blast postponed since March 14, and the Marines would have to scurry back to Camp Desert Rock, 20 miles to the south. GUESS WHO GOT THE JOB!

Anderson (D.- N.M.) today pictured the possi bility of atomic submarines armed with atomic missiles and said the military consequences would be staggering. Anderson told the Senate of a weekend trip he and other mem bers of the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee took on the Nautilus, the world’s first atomic powered undersea vessel. He and Rep. Price (D.-111-), call ed the atomic submarine the fu ture capital ship of the Navy. Sen. William F. Knowland (Calif.), the Republican floor lead er, said he was tremendously im pressed. He suggested Congress ,and the Defense Department study closely the desirability of building atomic subs at a faster rate. Another nuclear submersible, Sea Wolf, is now being built. Two others have been authorized and the Navy has asked funds for an additional three. Anderson, chairman of the Sen ate-House atomic committee, said he was concerned about the Nau tilus’ conventional armaments. “It frankly strikes me as ironi cal,” he told the Senate, “that a vessel of this type, equipped with a revolutionary atomic power plant should be armed with con ventional torpedoes, little im proved over the torpedoes of World War II.” He said an atomic submarine must have atomic armaments, adding: “One possibility, of course, would be to produce torpedoes with nuclear warheads. Much more sensible, in my opinion, would be to design a true missile submarine —a craft specifically intended to fire atomic missiles while submerged. “The military consequences of such an atomic missile submarine would be staggering. Even when far distant, it could destroy with one or two well placed miss'les with atomic or hydrogen war heads an entire convoy. m tM-twtt This slick chick knows what's best! • She always takes her car where it will receive the best care.
