Air Force Increases Its
Enlistment Quotas
For January Only
WASHINGTON, — The Air
Force today increased voluntary
enlistment quotas in January from
10,000 to 14,000 to make up for
lower enlistments in December.
The Air Force said it has been
operating on a monthly quota of
about 10,000 in order to produce
an orderly flow of recruits into
its training program. The quota
for December was reduced to
6,000, a spokesman said, because
of the holiday season. He said
there is no present intention to
continue the increased quota be
yond January.
Most of the volunteers entering
service after Jan. 1 will spend
only six weeks in basic training.

Khrushchev Attack Indicates Satellite
o
Front Very Sensitive One For Russians
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER *
'
WASHINGTON, UP — United
States officials were astonished at
Nikita Khrushchev’s direct attack
yesterday on President Eisen
hower. They thought this action;
by a top Soviet leader may mean |
the development of a still tough
er line in Russian foreign policy.
Experts here found it signifi
cant, moreover, that the immedi
ate reason for the personal attack
was a rather routine Christmas
message in which Eisenhower
spoke of prayers for freedom in
Eastern Europe.
Khurshchev’s attack on the
President indicates the satellite
front is an extremely sensitive
one for the Soviets. This in turn
suggests they may in fact be con
fronted with greater problems of
maintaining Communist control
there than the West knows about
in detail.
Authorities were not particular
ly impressed initially by Khrush
chevas boasts of more powerful
atomic weapons. The propaganda
line of a powerful Soviet Union
standing confident and powerful
in a world of waning capitalism is
one which Moscow has been de
veloping with great enthusiasm in
recent months.
Khrushchev and Bulganin met
Eisenhower at the summit confer
ence and professed to be greatly
impressed with the sincerity of
his statements about peace and
disarmament.
They rejected even then, how
ever, all of his efforts and all of
the arguments advanced by Secre
tary of State Dulles for bringing
up the problems of the satellite
countries at the Geneva meeting.
‘Subsequently, at the Big Four
foreign ministers’ meeting in Oc
tober-November, Soviet Foreign
Minister Molotov served notice the
Soviets would never abandon their
East German puppet regime to the
fate of all-German free elections.
Dulles became pretty well con
vinced then that the Soviets were
extremely sensitive to any maneu
ver which would tend to increase
freedom in the satellite countries.

A.F. Secretary Discounts
Russian Claim They Are
Cutting Defense Spending
TOKYO, (ft—Air Force Secre
tary Donald A. Quarles said today
the new U.S. defense budget “is
not a retreating budget—and it
gives us the wherewithal to do o
a sound job.”
The Secretary, who arrived to
day on a two-week tour of Far
East Air Force bases, said he was
not .completely satisfied with the
Air Force share.
He said no general, admiral or
service secretary ever should be
completely satisfied with money
alloted.
Quarles told a news conference
the United States doesn’t take
“very seriously” the Soviet
Union’s announcement of a 10 per
cent cut in its military budget.
“We are not cutting 10 per cent
so you can fairly assume we
don’t take the Russian’s claim
very seriously,” he said.
Asked about the Air Force’s
abiilty to match Red China’s air
buildup, Quarles answered, “We
have the quality and the stuff in
the Far East to handle it.”
