The presidential policy state ment was held by the West to have cleared the way for a fresh approach during the forthcoming crucial dealings with the Soviet Union. Is Called Realistic A first diplomatic appraisal termed "the President's conditions for East West negotiations a "realistic combination of i m- ness and flexability." Diplomats said the sincerity and earnestness of Eisenhower's state ment could not fail to impress world opinion and leave its mark even on the hardened rulers in the Kremlin.

Eisenhower's declaration wag under close study today In the chancellories of the Western capitals and formal official comment was reserved until later. Initial press reaction was favorable. 3 Conclusions Listed Diplomatic quarters let It be known at once the President had struck at the heart of the problem and made genuine negotiations possible with the Russians if they want them. These quarters listed three ma or conclusions: The United States has closed (he ranks of the Western alliance and given it fresh backing for a solid and united approach in any forthcoming dealings with the So viet It is ready with it major Allies to explore a genuine settlement on terms that would lead to an eventual European solution safe guarding international agreements and obligations.

S. defense posture. C. Douglas Dillon, undersecre tary of state for economic affairs, was called to testify on the heels of Acting Secretary of State Christian A. Herter.

Herter told the committee Monday that severe reductions in the $3,929,995,000 request by the President would be "very short-sighted" and could render U. S. for eign policy "ineffective." Some Want Cut Some congressional Democrats have indicated they would like to trim the President's requested program by one billion dollars. Eisenhower took his battle for extension of the Mutual Security Act to the American people Monday night over radio and television. He said there is "no better means of showing our resolution, our firmness, and our understanding of the Communist challenge than to support this program in full measure." Would Weaken 'Sentries' He also said "any misguided effort to reduce them below what I have recommended weakens the sentries of freedom wherever they stand." Other congressional news: Rackets: The Senate Rackets Committee called in the officers of the Dearborn Insurance Company, of Chicago, for questioning about their dealings with union officials.

Chief Counsel Robert F. Kennedy said the committee would inquire into whether the company was organized in 1949 to act as broker on various Chicago union welfare funds. Defense: Senator Styles Bridges top-ranking GOP member of the Senate preparedness subcommittee, proposed that the United States key its defenses to a triple-threat weapon involving mobile and strongly fortified missile systems. He said certain intermediate range missiles could be made mobile by use in submarines and railroad flat cars, and other "hard" sites could be built underground for ICBM's. Jobless: The House passed by an overwhelming voice vote a bill to prevent an estimated 405,000 jobless persons from losing unem ployment compensation on April 1.

The measure, expected to win quick Senate approval, provided a three-month extension of a feder al program of extended unem ployment benefits enacted during last year's recession. Taxes: The House approved by voice vote a bill to grant a tax break to self-employed persons saving for their old age. The bill would allow the self-empoyed to postpone until age 65 the payment of taxes on up to 10 per cent of their annual income, if the money were placed in a retire ment fund. The measure was op posed by the Treasury Depart ment because it would cut tax revenues 3b3 million dollars a year. Farm: American Farm Bureau Federation officials told a House1 agriculture subcommittee studying wheat legislation that unless wheat price supports are reduced soon "the entire farm program is going to be discredited in the eyes the public." They said I federal wheat price supports still are high enough to encourage over-production even though cut to the legal floor.

Red Leaders' Lives Bared By Defector WASHINGTON (UPI) The House Committee on Un-American Activities says a top Soviet secret service agent who defected five years ago gave the West an intimate view of Kremlin leaders and their private lives. The defector was Identified as Peter Sergeyeviv Deriabin, one time No. 3 man in the "Okhrana," responsible for guarding Soviet leaders.

Deriabin Is reported living somewhere in the United States bui me committee won say where because of the danger of possible retaliation by Soviet agents. The committee also wouldn't di vulge when Deriabin testified Committee Chairman Francis E. Walter (D-Pa.) said only he and Staff Director Richard Arens were present during the testimony which was made public Monday night. waiter described Deriabin as the highest-ranking Soviet official ever to defect to the West. He said Deriabin has been "assisting certain agencies of the govern ment of the United States." State Department sources said the defector asked for and was granted political asylum in the United States after crossing the Iron Curtain Into Austria in Feb ruary 1954.

He now is working toward U.S. citizenship. Deriabin testified that the late Josef Stalin and current Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev as well as other top Soviet leaders lived better than American mil lionaires. Of Stalin's son, Vasili, the for mer Soviet agent said: "He was actually an alcoholic and a tbor oughly-corrupted individual" who threw loud parties with prostl tutes.

Revolt Strained Relations Relations between the U.A.R. and Iraq have been uneven almost since the start of the Kas-sem regime. They reached a low last week after a nationalist revolt against Kassem was beaten down in Mosul and Iraq accused the U.A.R. of supporting it. The U.A.R.

Khrushchev at a summer summit meeting to reduce the threat of war over Berlin. The Chief Executive says the Soviets have forced this country to face the possibility of war, but he will make "every sincere effort" to achieve peaceful settle ment of the Berlin crisis through negotiation. Eisenhower went before the American people Monday night with a grave-voiced TV-radio report on the Berlin situation, cou pled with a stout defense of his military policies and a warning that congressional cuts in his foreign aid program would seriously weaken America allies. Qualifies Summit Agreement The Chief Executive's agreement to a summit conference was qualified.

He refused to accept Russia's original deadline of May 27 for the conversion of West Berlin into a free city. He said, however, that the Soviet note of March 2 pointed toward "negotiation on an improved basis." "It is my hope that thereby all of us can reach agreement with the Soviets on an early meeting at the level of foreign ministers," he said, speaking from bis office desk In the White House. "Assuming developments that justify a summer meeting at the summit," he continued, "the Unit ed States would be ready to par ticipate in that further effort."

Before the committee is a bill to authorize TVA to issue up to 75Q million dollars in bonds to fi nance construction or neeaea generating facilities. The bonds would be retired from future power revenues. Such a bill passed the Senate two years ago and gained approval by the House Public Works Committee last year. But it failed! to clear the Rules Committee lata in the session.

But Demos Take Issue Over Needs WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Eisenhower got strong bipar tisan support in Congress today for his firm stand on Berlin but Democrats took issue with him on the nation's defense needs.

Members of both parties said they welcomed the President's statement in his radio-TV address Monday night that he would be willing to attend a summer summit conference if developments Justify it. Senate Democratic Whip Mike Mansfield a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee, said he was "very much impressed with the emphasis and clarity with which the President expressed his views on the Berlin situation." "I think the President took a long step forward in indicating to Mr. Khrushchev his desire to ne- gotiate on an honorable basis and to consider the possibility of a summit meeting this summer based on possible results achieved in the forthcoming conference of foreign ministers. But he made it verv plain the United States doesn't want a summit conference for press propaganda Senator Republican Leader Ev erott M.

Nasser's reaction was as quick and as sharp as his replies to alleged Western interference in Arab affairs.
