Mr, "X bad been repeatedlv headlined as a Soviet, agent during World War 11, An Arthur Steinberg had been prominently mcntioncr in the sensational Canadian spy case after the disclosure; of igor Gouzenko :n 1945. Since only a small portion of Gouzenko's lestmmy w;e ever revealed, it has been rumored that he gave icstimon; of sensational nature involving Rod agents in the TLS., in eluding some recently mentioned in FBI reports. Furthei rumor has it that Prime Minister King, of Canada, made a special trip to Washington and handed ex-Presideni Truman a list oT those agents In the U. S. who were men Honed in Gouzenko’s testimony. It has also been chargei that this information was withheld from the America: public and from the Department of Justice and i-hest espionage agents were permitted to escape exposure o indictment. Why? Gouzenko's 733 pages of published testimony on the Camtdian-U, S. spy plot involves both Arthur Steinberj and bis wife, Edith. Steinberg’s undercover name wa “ Berger.” Gouzenko, the former Russian Embassy cocb clerk at Ottawa, stated that Arthur and Edith Steinberj were mentioned in decoded dispatches and telegrams from Moscow as well as in encoded telegrams to Moscow. The names of both Arthur and Edith Steinberg were found in loiters confiscated in the office of Dr. ltaymonc Buyer, McGill University professor, convicted and sen len'cecl by the Canadian government for his pari in tin espionage plot. Early in 1946, Ohio newspapers carried articles on the Gouzenko testimony mentioning Arthur Steinberg’: connection with the plot. As an example, we cite the Cincinnati “ Enquirer" of March 26,1946, Edith Steinberg will be remembered as one of the seven circulators of nominating petitions for the Com­ munist-dominated Progressive Parly, notarized on April 23, 1948. It contained thirty-five signatures, a mapor- ity of whom were adult members of the Antioch Com­ munity. Dr. Arthur Gerald Steinberg was born of Russian parents at Port Chester, N. Y., Feb. 27, 1912.

In the past eight years, more than $40 bil­ lion of American money have been given foreign countries, with $65 billion more foreign spending scheduled for this fiscal year, and an add* flionat $8 billion already' appropriated for foreign aid purposes Yet it Is becoming questionable whether a European Defense Army will be estab­ lished, or oilier lasting benefits will be derived those huge American ex­ penditures ft ft' ft ft ft fti ft ft It ’s impossible to reduce Federal deficits, cut taxes or to balance the budget so long ns 70 per cent or belter of Treasury revenue is being spent for national defease purposes- In the last fiscal year Defense ap­ preciations alone ran $49.8 billion, this year $44 9 billion, and, and it Is eslmaied, will run $42.G billion next year. So, the big problem ahead Js how to cut defense spending, and, at the same time, maintain a strong national defense One of the methods which can be used is to eliminate present bad practices In military procurement, which have been costing the taxpayers hundreds of millions, and perhaps billions, of dollars an­ nually, I t is hoped the new Hoover Commission will give careful r.tudy to the whole military procurement problem, „ * 8 * * 8 * « 8 * Secretary of Defense Wilson announced! last week he expects the nu­ mber of men In the U.S. Army to be reduced by another 240,000 in the fiscal year starting next July, In nddition to the 120,000 reduction in A m y manpower being put into effect this year.
