Officials Say Russ May Launch Another Offensive Washington, Apr. 8 (U.R) America's cold war policy of containment of Soviet expansion appeared today to be in a danger ously weakened condition, and United States officials voiced a fear that Russia may soon launch a new offensive. Serious difficulties have thwarted American efforts to build an anti-communist wall of nations around Russia and policy makers are faced with the grim problem of trying to decide which one of these weak spots will be picked for the Kremlin's next pressure move. From Korea around the peri phery of the Soviet Union to Germany, the west appeared to be lagging in its cold war time table. Meanwhile Moscow has succeeded not only in laying the groundwork for development of a mighty satellite in China but has consolidated its position in eastern Europe to a degree that has Washington frankly wor ried. These factors will hang heavy over the London meetings next month of the western Big Three foreign ministers and of the en voys of the Atlantic pact na tions.

If McCarthy were a man oi his word, he would perform on i. his twice repeated promise to re- sign from the senate. That Is the boat possible way in which he can serve his country."
