2 (Sec 1) Statesman, Salem, Ore., Sunday, May 29, 1955 Red Party Boss, U.S. Envoy Talk of Corn, Sen. McCarthy Professor j South Oregon Eggs Rejected In California BELGRADE, Yugoslavia UFi TJ." S. Ambassador James W. Rid dleberger talked 4 Saturday nUfht with Russia's Communist Party boss, Nikita' Khrushchev on a vari ety of subjects ranging from corn to Senator McCarthy.'. The conversation took place at a reception given by President Marshal "Tito for his Russian guests. ,' Riddleberger, along with other foreign envoys, was invited into a closed room where Tito had dinner with the Soviet party. "I was seated next to Khrush chev," the American ambassador said afterward, "and we had quite a conversation. Begaa With Cora It began with corn. "You know corn is one of Mr, Khrushchev's special subjects. He is a specialist on the subject. The Soviet Union is sending a dele gation to study corn-hog produc tion in Iowa and other parts of the United States. The first secretary of Russia's Communist Party discussed with Riddleberger the possibilities of turning large areas of Siberia into corn-producing country. Then the conversation turned to socialism and capitalism. The trouble with you," said Khrushchev, "is that you don't know anything about worung men." j The America envoy told Khrush-j ehev he knew quite a bit about them, having formerly worked as a painter and carpenter. Then the conversation turned to American-Soviet relations. "You people," said Khrushchev, "make such ridiculous statements, such as dealing from positions of strength." Riddleberger" held up his hand and interrupted. "Wait a minute." he said. "I remember the Berlin blockade (of 1948-49) when the Russians were trying to operate from positions of strength." Maa Named Beria The' talk took another turn. "And," said Khrushchev, "what about Senator McCarthy?" Riddleberger replied that many Chosen nations had individuals who at one time or another created certain problems. I remember a man in Russia named Beria," said Riddleberger, referring to Lavrenty P. Beria, former .bead of the Soviet secret police, who was executed byi Kremlin soon after Stalin died in 1953. - 'He created some problems,; didn't he?" the ambassador asked. There was an awkward pause. And then the U. S. ambassador told Khrushchev he had read a speech he (Khrushchev) had made on his arrival in Belgrade. "I read it with much interest," said Riddleberger. 'And you saw," replied Khrush chev, "where I said we wanted peace with everybody." Riddleberger said his conversa tion with Khrushchev lasted about 20 minutes. It was conducted through an interpreter. During the evening Khrushchev also talked to Brig. Gen. Peter C. Hains of the American Embas sy. They agreed neither of their respective nations wanted to fight the other.

The administration has contrast ed this to what it has pictured as past policies of alternately building up fast to meet emergencies and then slowing down. The committee report said: "It is not feasible to attempt to anticipate the results of the cur rent reappraisal or the content of the Defense Department's inter national security plan now under preparation. It is even less feasi ble to attempt to anticipate the course of world events over the next 6 or 12 months. "At this juncture, however, it would seem unrealistic to expect that the military assistance pro gram can be reduced appreciably below its present level in the im mediate future. In a survey of world conditions the committee said Russia may be "finding the price of military ac tion tooigh" and may be turning to a policy of economic and politi cal infiltration.

Asserting that Congress could not force the President to Increase military outlays, Johnson said he hopes Eisenhower's "sound mili tary judgment will not be over riden by other considerations." "With the life of our nation at stake, it is far better to be safe than sorry," he declared. We can survive economic storms but there are other forces in the world that we can survive only by strength. We cannot wait until those forces are unleashed to gain that strength." Johnson Indicated he is support ing a Democratic move to post pone for one year the 110,000-man cut in the armed forces approved by the House when it passed the administration's 131.488.000,000 de fense budget May 11 The bill is now before the Senate Appropri ations Committee.
