Russian s Give
Vishinsky's Post
To Kuznetsov
LONDON, March 22 (/P) —The Soviet government chose
Vasflily V. Kuznetsov today to fill Andrei V. Vishinsky’s old
job as a first deputy foreign minister.
The announcement, broadcast by the Moscow radio, came
fotir moiiths to the day after Vishirisky, 76, died of a heart
attack in New York While heading the Soviet delegation to
the United Nations.
Kudnetsov, one-time Ford Mot
or do. worker and ex-chief of the
USSR's trade unions, had been
a plain deputy foreign'minister.
This elevation to rank with An
drei Gromyko as a first deputy
was one of three high-level pro
motions in Foreign Minister V. M.
Molotov's bailiwick.
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.
Industrial Growth
HARRISBURG, March 22 <Jt)—
A million dollar corporation to
stimulate industrial development
and rehabilitation in Pennsylvan

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Two other foreign office offi
cials were raised to deputy min
isters. 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.

Free Trading
Called Answer
To Cold War
WASHINGTON, March 22 (JP)
—Unless the United States makes
it possible for the free world to
trade more fr.eely, President
Dwight D. 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.”

™ 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.
Senate Defeats Betting Vote

The Marines were testing new

However, there was the possi
bility the two-day maneuvers
might be cut short. The AEC said
the weather forecast was favor

held, this would be the major

George, Dulles Agree
A-Missiles
Pictured for
Atomic Subs
WASHINGTON, March 22 UP)
—Sen. Clinton P. 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
