Russia Agrees'To Conditions - For Austria

LONDON, Jan. 28—(7P)- I Moscow Radio announced ear- | ]y today that Russia h a s I agreed — under Soviet condi- K tions—to resume talks with 1 | the Western Allies on an indepen- | donee treaty for occupied Austria.

The radio in a broadcast heard | here gave Russia’s note replying I to pleas by the U. S., Britain and I France Jan. 12 that a four-power I effort be made once more to end j I the long stalemate on the Austrian j treaty.

The Soviet note specified that if I the West wanted to resume the | Austrian talks, it would first have

to withdraw the demand for an abridged treaty which would end the occupation of Austria prompt­ly. Under the Allied proposal, other disputed points between Russia and the West would have

” been left for further negotiations.Deputies of the four countries

have already met more than 260 ^ times since 1946 on the question

and several times have appeared near agreement. Each time, how­ever, the Russians have balked at approving a final draft.

Truman Stirs Critics On ‘Atom’ Bomb Issue

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28—hP>— Former President Truman stirred angry criticism in the nation’s Capital today with his statement expressing doubt that Soviet Rus­sia has a workable atomic bomb.

Atomic officials pointedly dis­agreed with Truman. They said

. all the facts indicate Russian pos­session of the A-bomb.

And on Capitol Hill, Sen. Bourke Hickenlooper R-Iowa, a member of the joint Senate-House Atomic committee, noted that Truman him­self announced three separate

atomic explosions in Russia during his last three years in the White House.

Truman Statements“If Mr. Truman made such

ominous statements as President for the purpose of frightening the American people without being convinced that they were factually correct, then it is reprehensible, indeed,” Hickenlooper said.

Hickenlooper joined two other members of the Senate-House atomic committee — Rep. Durham D-NC, the retiring chairman, and Rep. Cole R-NY—in a carefully worded statement criticizing Tru­man’s remark as “highly unfor­tunate.”

Challenges TrumanThe trio further challenged Tru­

man’s statement, made to news­men in Kansas City, as contra­dicting “indisputable evidence” that Russia has the A-bomb.

The legislators quoted Truman as saying:

“I am not convinced Russia has the atomic bomb. ... I am not convinced the- Russians have achieved the know-how to put the complicated mechanism together and make an A-bomb work, I am not convinced they have the bomb.”

In Kansas City, Truman told Associated Press Reporter Clar­ence A. Johnson he had said “time and time again’ that he had doubts about the Russians having achieved a workable A-bomb.

“Some people disagreed with me,” Truman said, “but that is their right,”

Congress Accepts Ike’s ‘Leak’ Edict

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28—OP>— Congressional leaders apparently have accepted good naturedly — for the moment, at least—Presi­dent Eisenhower’s edict against any “leaks” from White House conferences.

Eisenhower is reported to have told the “Big Eight” of GOP chief­tains from Capitol Hill at their first regular legislative conference yesterday that if confidential mat­ter leaked out he might have to dispense with the meetings.

The upshot was that Sen. Taft of Ohio, the majority leader, and others w'ho attended smilingly turned off inquiries by reporters about vdiat went on at the two- hour session.

There were some leaks, of course.There was information that

Eisenhow7er wrould lay down a basic foreign policy pattern, devoting about one third of his address to this problem.

It was learned that he would probably report on his trip to Ko­rea, but probably would have no specific recommendations for at­tempts to end the war there.

Information usually has a way of getting around despite the ef­forts of government officials to keep their plans a secret.

OvetaTakes

Culp Hobby On Big Job

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28—(fl­it’s a big job that Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby took over when she became Federal Security Administrator in the Eisenhower administration.

Its importance was recognized in the fact she took oath of office along with cabinet members, and there’s talk Congi*ess soon may el­evate her position to cabinet level.

Some 35,000 employes come un­der her supervision. The agency affects directly the lives of many millions — social security, public health, federal education aids, food- and-drug law enforcement are prin­cipal functions of the FSA.

In her first day on the job, Mrs. Hobby got acquainted with the top division heads with whom she will work, looked over a pile of con­gratulatory messages and posed for a battery of newspaper and newsreel photographers.

Up for lunch with her the first day was her husband, former Gov­ernor Will P. Hobby, with whom she has been working as co-pub­lisher of the Houston Post, and their daughter, Jessica, 16. Their son, Will P., Jr., 21, had to hurry back to Houston to his classes at Rice after the inauguration. Jes­sica attends a girls school in Vir­ginia.

The suite where Mrs. Hobby will have her headquarters is on the top floor of one of the two block- square five story buildings on In­dependence Avenue two blocks from the Capitol.

Her private office is a large room, 40 by 25 feet, with her own glass-topped desk in one end and

Sanitary Course Held Until Friday

a conference table in the other where she will meet with heads of the various units of the FSA.

The walls are light dove gray, and long maroon drapes hang from the three windows to her back. A maroon rug and brown leather up­holstered furniture give the room a pleasant atmosphere. A silk United States flag on a standard just behind her desk is a reminder of the high government decisions that are made there.

The Governor and Mrs. Hobby plan to live in one of the big hotels here until about March, then take a Connecticut Avenue apartment.

WASHINGTON—(JP)—The Eisenhower administration was reported authoritatively today to have well-advanced plans for trying to end the Korean and Indochinese wars by denying Russia any “advantage” from them.

Secretary of State Dulles, discussing this subject pub­licly for the first time since the new administration took pow­er, told a national radio and television audience last night:

“Today these wars go on because the enemy thinks he’s getting an advantage by continuing the war. I believe that Gen. Eisenhower will find the way to make the enemy change his mind in that respect so that they too will want peace.”

Dulles’ statement was described authoritatively as being based upon plans for specific moves, although he gave no

^■hint in his? speech as to what these moves will be.

However, in a pre-election speech in October, Dulles said Rus­sia had an advantage out of con­tinuing the Korean War by the fact that Amei’ican troops are tied up there and by propagandizing the conflict as a campaign of Americans against Asians. These advantages can be denied and the prospect for peace greatly ad­vanced, he then said, by replacing American forces in Korea with South Korean troops.

Dulles’ broadcast speech pin­pointed trouble spots of the world in a sweeping survey of American foreign policy problems, and also contained an appeal for popular confidence at home in the State Department and foreign service. He promised, with the help of the FBI, to rid the department of any Communist or Red sympathizers who may be found there.

On one foreign policy problem, Dulles had what appeared to be an implied threat of new American action toward Western European allies unless they persist in efforts toward unity. He noted that French and German steps toward formation of a European Defense Community under which West Germany could rearm have re­cently been “somewhat stalled.”

Dulles said the U. S. has put almost 30 billion dollars into West­ern Europe since the end of World War II in an effort of developing unity there and he declared that if France, Germany and Britain now go their separate ways it

E. D. Department Offers New Course

A new course in Lay-off and Mold Loft Drafting will be offered this spring by the Engineering Drawing department.

It will be a one hour credit, lab course offered on Tuesday after­noon from 2 to 5 p.m. according to Dr. W. E. Street, head of engi­neering drawing department.

The course will contain a review of the various methods of develop­ment, study of ships nomenclature, faired lines from offsets, pick points from loft floor, and the de­velopment of some of the surfaces which comprise a ships structure. The only prerequisite is E. D. 124.

This course will introduce the student to the problems of the loftsman and the leaderman in the average ship yard loft and dry dock repair loft.

The new course will also intro­duce many practical problems of development and intersection which will develop in the engineer the ability to visualize similar space relationships.

would be necessary to give “a little re-thinking,” to America’s policy toward Europe. He said, however, that he refused to be­lieve there was no charme of unity.

He dealt in blunt words with what he conceives to be Russia’s policies. He said the U. S. has “enemies who are plotting our de­struction” and that “these enemies are the Russian Communists and their alies in other countries.”

Soviet strategy, he went on, is to encircle and isolate this coun­try. This strategy must be coun­tered by a strong American mili­tary establishment and by the cre­ation of military strength in friendly nations, he said, with this
