"The great Soviet Union," he said, "has always been and is today a powerful bastion of world peace. The initiative of the Soviet government and its proposals aimed at easing international dis armament and peaceful co-existence between countries with dif fering social systems have the sympathy and support of a I peace-loving nations and peoples." He said further that the recent summit conference, "resulted in a still further strengthening of the cohesion of the entire Communist movement and in a still further strengthening of the solidarity be tween the Communist party of China and the Communist party of the Soviet Union, between the People s Republic of China and the Soviet Union." (Moscow radio broadcast Liu's speech but this dispatch was de layed in passing through censors). Pravda, the Soviet Communist parly newspaper, published a long editorial a week ago in whicH it siaieu inai peaceiui coexistence as interpreted bv Premier Khrushchev is the correct inter pretation. Coming as it did near the end of the conference, after more than two weeks of debate, it sounded as if the Soviets had laid down he law as tliey saw iti The speech by Liu Shao Chi was his way of saying that the man who pavs the piper calls the tune. In his speech, he made it abun dantly clear by pointing out that China s industrial and technical advances were heavily dependent on soviet production. 'You manufacture for our coun try a great amount of intricate equipment," he said, "make available to us a great amount of designing documentation, send us skilled specialists, train for our country a great number of techni cal specialists. "All this Is part of the tremen dous assistance rendered by the Soviet government and the Soviet people to our country's social con struction." Khrushchev argued that war is no longer possible because of nuclear weapons and that Com munist countries must rely on showing the world that they can produce more than capitalist countries and give greater free dom and happiness to mankind than capitalist countries. Saturday. Wladvslaw Gomulka. chief ot the Polish party, said the Communist summit committee had adopted the Khrushchev line in large measures. In his speech Sunday, Lin said in effect, well, that's the way it is. China will go along. Austrailian Police Nab Killer Of Schoolboy SYDNEY. Australia (AP) -Delcctive Sgt.

Plan Proposes Streamlining Of Pentagon PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) President elect John F. Kennedy today got a report recommending sweeping Defense Department re organization including elimina tion of the civilian secretaries of Army, Navy and Air Force. The goal would be to give the secretary of defense instantaneous control in event of nuclear war. The report was submitted to. Kennedy by Sen. Stuart Syming ton, D-Mo., head of a committee which the presitfent-elect set up to plan streamlining of the vast Pentagon operation for the nuclear-space age. Would Cut Sptnding Symington told a news confer ence after conferring with Ken nedy that in his opinion his com mittee's recommendations would cut present military spending bv about 20 per cent or S8 billion annually. But he said this money likely would have to be plowed back for such things as new weap ons development and an arms control program. While Ihe Symington committee would abolish the civilian secre taries of the Army, Navy and Air Force, those services would be retained as separate entities in the defense establishment. Symington said that the plan would increase national security and eliminate waste and duplica tion. It also calls for far-reaching reorganization of the military op erations command. Symington said Kennedy had. authorized him to tell newsmen Uiat Kennedy had said of the committee's unanimous report: ii is an interesting and construc tive sumy wnicn 1 know will be carefully- analyzed by the Con gress and the incoming adminis tration." Kennedy met with Symington at the Atlantic shore home of his parents shortly before his sched uled return to Washington for a ousy week of gearing up his new administration. Udall Mentioned Among other things, Kennedy reportedly has decided on his man for secretary of the interior Ron. Stewart L. Udall. D Ariz. n The Symington commiltee plan also calls for: 1. Creation of two new under seeretat'ioft nr ripfanc nnn fnt- I administration and another in charge of weapons systems. i. creation of a new assistant socrclary of defense for arms control. This man would represent the secretary of Defense in Ihe -administration's disarmament planning and, Symington said, could be regarded rn nnsuihiv imviiig me most, important job in ' the government with the ex ception of the president himself." 3. What Symington called "re construction" of the Joint Chipf. of Staff set-up, now made up of four top military men, a chairman from one of the services and rep resentatives of the Army, Navy and Air F'orce. The joint chiefs are nominated bv ihn niAniriont and are subject to Senate con firmation. Under the Svminptnn nt-naram there no longer would be a chair man of the joint chiefs. Instead there would be a chairman of llm joint staff who would be principal military adviser to the president and Ihe secretary of defense. The program also calls for set- r ting up a military advisory coun cilofficers of senior grade who would be picked by the president. These officers would not be iden tified with their particular mili tary services. They would be on active duty. tiymmgton said that would nro- vide "an overall defense ap proach," and called that one of the most important aspects of the plan. Kennedy arranged to fly back lo Washington during the after noon, after a session on revamp ing the Pentagon, for a busv wpek of gearing up his new administra tion. - Appoints CemmiHte The president-elect took one step in that direction S u n d a v night in creating an 11-membeV ' committee to map what he termed a desperately needed program of federal aid for areas of chronic un employment. The committee head ed by Sen. Paul Douglas, D-Ill., plans its first meeting in a few -days. Joblessness In some sections of the country was an issue in the ' prpsidcnti.il campaign, and Ken nedy said he was naming his study group to fulfill a pledge made dur ing his bid for election. The president-elect scheduled I mid-morning conference with Sen. Stuart Symington, D-Mo., who heads a committee Kennedy set up to map streamlining of Hie nation's vast military esUhlishmenl. ', Over the weekend, Kennedy pick-. ed the second member of his Cabin et North Carolina Gov, Luther Hodges to be secretary of com merce. The president-elect earlier had named Gov, Abraham Rihicoff of Connecticut as secretary of health, education and welfare. Levity Fact Rant By L. F.
