He said he hopes and expects President Eisenhower will seek re flection, but that if he doesn't, any -GOP standard bearer pledged to continue the Elsenhower program ''will win. " "It would be folly of the first order for the Republican party to ' nominate someone who would go contrary the program the public " has accepted, which is the Eisen hower program," Potter told re porters. He said a newspaper survey in industrial Detroit recently indi- ' cated that about 20 per cent of voters who cast Iheir ballots for "Democratic candidate Adlai E. Stevenson for president in 1952 ' would vote for Eisenhower in 1956 if he and Stevenson are the nom inees.

The fear factor that has influenced many of the laboring men to vole 'the Democratic ticket has been exploded."

MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON Iff Sen. Mans field (D-MonU said today 'we shouldn't be taken in" by Russia's announced plans to cut lis military budget by 10 per cent next year. "We must keep our .defenses up," he cautioned. ' Mansfield, a member of the Sen ate Foreign Relations Committee, suggested the development could mean a Soviet switch to heavier reliance on atomic striking power Several other senators of both political parties also were openly skeptical of the Soviet Union a in. tentions. Sen. McClellan ID-Ark) said he is "very skeptical that there is any truth in the statement that Russia is reducing her military expend! tures by 10 per cent." Sen. Dworshak (R-Idaho) said. "When I have proof, I'll believe it." Sen. Potter (R-Michi said he takes the Russian announcement "with a large grain of salt." McClellan. Dworshak and Potter serve on the Senate Appropriations Committee. Tlie Soviet Parliament, meeting In Moscow, has been asked to ap prove a 1956 budget which pro vides for defense appropriations totaling lOJij billion rubles. This is nearly 10 per cent below the 1955 estimate of 113.122.OOO.t00 rubles. Approval Is a foregone con. elusion. Although the Russians peg the tuble at 25 cents, its purchasing power is considerably less. The actual Russian military out fay is not fully reflected in its defense appropriations figure be cause many direolly related Items ore hidden under other budget headings. U. S. defense spending currently is at annual rate of 34'i billion dollars. Mansfield said, "We not only have cut all we can afford to In our military spending, we have made some cuts we shouldn't afford." He said the Eisenhower adminis tration's proposals to ask Congress for a billion-dollar increase in the defense budget for the bookkeep ing year starting July 1 "will not provide any more muscle" but would go to meet higher costs of defense items. Potter said the Russians' "public announcements and their actions are far different things,' adding: "Our Intelligence agencies tell us of a large buildup in their air force and their submarines, which doesn't seem to fit tn well with n 10 per cent cut in their budget."
