War Not Ine vitable, i Reds
invincible—Khrushchev
MOSCOW, Feb. 14 (IP)—Nikita S. Khrushchev rewrote
t wo major points of the Communist creed today. He said
war is not inevitable and that Red revolutions may be
achieved in some cases by parliamentary means.
The stocky Communist party boss made these revisions
of traditional Marxist-Leninist theory in a confident, six
hour speech before the 20th, Congress of the Soviet Com
munist party in the Kremlin's Grand Palace.
Radar 'Brane'
To Navigate
Boeing Bomber
NEW YORK, Feb. 14 fill—The
Air Force's new Boeing 852
Stratofortress is being equipped
with an electronic "brane"—a de-1
vice described as enabling it to
bit a target with "unprecedented"
reliability."
The International Business Ma
chines Corp. today made public
some details concerning "brane"
—meaning "bombing radar navi
gation equipment."
IBM spokesmen told a news
conference the airplane crew
feeds information such as air
speed, altitude and desired tar
get into the "brane." Then, they
said, the device with "unprece
dented reliability" guides the
plane to its target and through its
bombing run.
Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, head of
the Strategic Air Command, said
in Washington last night his air
men could hit any target on earth
with pinpoint accuracy from pres
ent bases. The 852 s come under
LeMay's command.

Khrushchev recalled the Marx
ist-Leninist premise that wars are
inevitable while imperialism ex
ists, bid declared that under con
ditions today "there is no fatal in
evitability of war." Western dip
lomats noted he had the courage
to come right out with it and give
his reasons.
"The Socialist Communist camp
is invincible," he declared.
Today's conditions, by his ac
count, reflect a weakening of the
position of the Western Powers in
the East, a decline in the United
States' postwar economic boom
and a sharpening of rivalries
among the capitalist nations.
In modifying the other point of
the creed, he said Communists
may be able to take over some
nations without the traditional
"revolutionary class struggle."
Apparently referring to popular
front alliances, he said this could
be achieved by the working class
"in a number of capitalist and
former colonial countries" by the
winning of stable parliamentary
majorities.
Outside the Red sphere, Italy
has the biggest Communist party.
French Communists make up the
l:►•gest single group in France's
National Assembly.
"Of course in countries where
capitalism is still :strong and
where it controls an enormous mil
itary and police machine,"Khrush
chev said, "the serious resistance
of the reactionary forces is in
evitable. There the transition to
socialism (communism) will pro
ceed amid conditions of an acute
revolutionary class struggle."

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA
House to Vote
On State Tax
HARRISBURG, Feb. 14 (JP)—
The House Democratic leadership
today held fast to plans that call
for a vote Monday or Tuesday on
the $360 million bipartisan in
come-sales tax compromise pack
age.
"My present intention is to call
the bills up for a vote next week
regardless of what anyone says,"
declared Rep. Albert S. Readin
ger, Democratic floor leader.
He had been asked what he in
tended to do if enough votes for
passage of the three bill program
were not assured.
"We've got to get a tax pro
gram passed —we can't just sit
around here and look at each oth
er," he added.
At the same times Rep Charles
C. Smith, Republican floor leader,
remained non-committal on whe
ther his party would support the
plan drafted last week by a two
party eight-man committee.
"I intend to ask the COP cau
cus what they want to do," Smith
said. "It looks like that 'side ex
cursion' the governor talked
about could prove to be a pretty
long trip," said Smith.

Democrat Tax Plan
Labeled'inadequate'
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 (W)—Secretary of the Treasury
George M. Humphrey declared today a tax plan worked up
by Democrats to finance a long-range highway program
would knock the federal budget out of balance.
Moreover, Humphrey insisted before the House Ways
and Means Committee, it would fall far short of raising
the money needed to build the contemplated roads.
Humphrey listed additional
sources of income that might be
tapped. For one thing, he esti
mated that $4 l / 2 billion could be
raised over the next 12 years by
levying a federal registration fee
on motor vehicles at the rate of
$1 per thousand pounds.
But he said he was not suggest
ing any particular tax plan of his
own. That, he told the committee,
"is your job."
Humphrey was the first witness
called for expert testimony on
proposals to finance vast highway
improvements. Up for immediate
consideration is a "pay as you
build" plan drafted by Democrats.
in the face of widespread Demo
cratic opposition, the Eisenhower
administration itself has aban
doned efforts of last year to pay
for a interstate highway network
through bond issues.
Rep. Hale Boggs (D-La) has in
troduced legislation setting out
the Democratic proposal to in
crease the federal gasloine tax
from 2 to 3 cents a gallon and
,boost such other road-user levies
las the diesel fuel, tire and carrel
back taxes. Camelback is used in
retreads.

land said he is hoping for ad
journment sometime between July
15 and Aug. 1.

Meany Calls
Adlas Plan
'Nonsense'
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 14
(A")—AFL-CIO President George
Meany said today that Adlai Ste
vensori's plan for going slow in
enforcing desegregation of pub
lic schools is "nonsense."
Meany said he was "in com
plete disagreement" with Steven
son's recently expressed views
and felt "that Mr. Stevenson is
running away" from the school
desegregation question.
However, Meany said, he has
not crossed Stevenson's name off
his own list of possible presi
dential candidates acceptable to
labor. Organized labor supported
Stevenson in 1952 against Presi
ident Eisenhower.
Meany added that the time to
pick and choose between candi
dates is later on in the year after
the nominations.
Stevenson telegraphed Meany
that he didn't understand Meany's
statement. A copy of the telegram
was released by Stevenson's New
York press headquarters.
"I can only assume," Steven
son told Meany, "that you have
not read the statement of my
position regarding desegregation
released in the Monday news
papers. Otherwise I do not see
how you could interpret anything
I have said, either as running
away from the problem or sug
gesting that it be postponed for
ever.
