FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 17. 1956 U.S. nticipates In Red Political WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (.4I United States officials expect Moscow to start a pow erful new political offensive in Western Europe in the immediate future. Presenting a dramatic challenge to the West, the drive is expected to stir up a cold war front that has been relatively quiet for months. Since the summit conference last July, Moscow has concentrated on South Asia and the Middle East. Nikita S. Khrushchev, Communist party boss, laid out the strategy for the new opera tion in his speech to the 20th Communist party Congrels in Moscow this week. Demos Call Halt to Tank Shipment WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (,P)— Democratic senators demanded tonight that a shipment of 18 light tanks consigned to Saudi Arabia be halted until Secretary of State John Foster Dulles has explained the transaction. The tanks, described by a State Department spokesman as train ing vehicles, are due to sail froth New York tomorrow aboard the S.S. James Monroe. The Israeli Embassy called the shipment to the Arab country "utterly beyond our comprehen sion." Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D.-Ill.) declared during an hour-long Senate discussion that Dulles "should be brought before the Foreign Relations Committee without delay to explain this whole matter." Sen. Hubert H Humphrey (D.- Minn.) said th 4 United States "has deplored the arms race in the Middle East and indicated strong opposition to the arms sale to Egypt" by Communist Czecho slovakia. But now, he contended, "We have lost any moral grounds whatever to try to hold down the arms race." The Minnesotan said Saudi Ara bia "has sworn the destruction of the State of Israel and has been in conflict with our ally, Britain." Ike Creates Reserve Pool, Goes Hunting THOMASVILLE, Ga., Feb. 16 (IP)—President Dwight D. Eisen hower got in more quail hunting today after acting to create a big reserve pool of top-flight business and labor organization executives to fill government jobs in any national emergency. Still keeping to himself any de cision regarding a second term, the vacationing President had a 7:30 a.m. breakfast of steak and coffee. An hour and a half later a bright sun scattered rain clouds and Eisenhower went off in quest of quail. He was accompanied by Secre tary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey, host to the President at his big plantation estate. Eisen hower arrived from Washington yesterday for about a week of rest • and outdoor exercise—the sort of thing his doctors heartily approve. Nearly three quarters of Ameri cans over 65 years old have in comes of less than $l,OOO a year. Authorities here believe that the drive which Khrushchev pro jected explains the changes in Comunist party doctrine which he proclaimed in the same speech. It is therefore regarded as the central theme of his talk in its foreign policy aspects—the heart of his purpose and argument. Khruschev told his immediate audience and Communist leaders everywhere that they should make an all-out effort to arrange "Uni- Ited Front" action with political groups like the Social Democrats in Western Europe. He gave them a positive argument by declaring that the Communist countries are leading a drive for peace. Oppos ing this drive, he said are "reac itionar yforets" of the "capitalist , 'monopolies." Khrushchev then sought to re move a contradiction :n Commun ist doctrine which has trapped the Reds in their pretensions to peace in the past. They have put (themselves forward as the only true advocates of peace even though their own doctrine held that war between communism and i capitalism was inevitable. Khru shchevi said it was not inevitable 'or necessary and that "peaceful 'coexistence" is a -sound alterna tive. He also struck at the estab lished party doctrine that com munism takes po w 'r inside a country through revolutionary means. He said violence is not essential, that communism may rise to power by parliamentary processes. Federal Mediators Ask For Westinghouse Talk WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (In— The Federal Mediation Service today invited union and manage ment officials in the 123-day-old Westinghouse strike to meet here Monday "for the purpose of mak ing an all-out effort to effect a settlement of this dispute."

Frazier St. - State College, Pa. OPEN EVER* EVENING TILL 9 P.M. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Change Policy President Issues New Draft Order WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (/P)—A new presidential order today virtually relieved fathers and men over 26 from any present likelihood of being drafted. They will still be subject to call, a White House announce ment said, but they won't be drafted unless military man power needs cannot be met from pools of younger men and nonfathers. An executive order, signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday and announced today, changed the order in which reg istrants will be called for induc tion. It put childless registrants aged! 19 through 26 ahead of fathersi and older men on the list from which draft boards will fill their quotas. There are now an esti mated 1,347,000 registrants in the 19-25 group. Annual additions to the category are estimated at 200,000. By comparison, the annual na tionwidb draft calls would be 192.,000 at the rate of 16,000 a month. The March draft call is at the 16,000 figure, but the Febru ary and April calls are for only 6000 each month. Up until now fatherhood has not been a ruling factor in• the operation of the draft. The prac tice has been to call the oldest leligible men first, regardless of parenthood, and work down. A Selective Service spokesman said that while the law permits drafting a man up to the age of 35, the oldest called in recent times was 33%. Gives Best Men The spokesman said the new order would give the military ser vices the best available men and would be more economical for the government from the standpoint of dependents' allowances. The White House itself said the new order would be more advan tageous to the armed forces and be less disruptive to the commun ity. Draft Call at 16.000 Senate to Investigate Campaign Contributions WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (W)—The Senate Elections sub committee voted unanimously today for a full investigation of any attempts to control Congress through campaign con- tributions Its members solicited the cooperation of Senate leaders and every senator in a "nonpartisan" inquiry into "contribu tions to election campaigns, fed eral elections and such evidence of corrupt practices as may be revealed." Sen. Albert Gore (D.-Tenn.), the subcommittee's new chairman, plans an investigation which will run through 1956. Undoubtedly it will provide some election-year fireworks. Gore expressed confidence the Senate would approve the investi gation and furnish the money to get under way. "I believe there will be widespread support for the work ofthis subcommittee," he told newsmen. The inquiry is the result of the disclosure by Sen. Francis Case (R.-S.D.) that he was offered $2500 for his re-election campaign by an out-of-state lawyer during [ Senate consideration of the natur ' al gas bill last month. Case refused the money, and a special Senate committee is now seeking to determine whether the money, which came from oil-gas !interests, was an attempt to in fluence the senator's vote on the gas issue. There are two other members of the subcommittee, Sens. Mike Mansfield (D.-Mont.) and Thomas Curtis (R.-Neb.). They met with Gore today and agreed on the !statement.
