Cites Discontent Under Sovietßule ’ ■ Dulles Speaker At 4 Press Club Parley t WASHINGTON. UP—Secretary w State John Foster Dulles said today that peoples under Soviet domination are so discontented “it would be reckless” for the Russian® “to engage in general war.” Rulles said the East German revolt last June clearly exposed ‘ “the vast underlying discontent” of workers in Soviet satellite . areas; ’ “It indicates that if there were an armed invasion of Western Europe, the Soyiet lines of communications might not be altogether Secure,” Dulles saidr Dulles made these observations ij in an address prdfcared for delivery at a .National Press Club ? luncheon. He dovated the first portion of the address to a report .on the recent North Atlantic 5 treaty council meeting in Paris. . Dulles said the NATO ministers judged “the danger of open mili- ( tary aggression from Soviet Rusj sia wga less than it had been a iyear or two before.’’* lathis is true, Dulles said, it is due to NATO’s growing power. But he added that the i|4ecreasing likelihood of war alsoi 3® due to internal pressures and fdiscohtents “resulting from the i jbad living conditions w’ithin the I Soviet bloc and the contrasting »fetter conditions ~ within the neighboring free countries.” , Dulles said r*it seems that the > ’Soviet rulers’ Exploitation of their own and the satellite peoples has jreached a point where it w’ould be reckless for them to engage in general war.” He said high Russian officials in < ; all of their recent speeches have ’tried to encourage their people to hope for more food and for _ consumers’ goods of better quality. He said this clearly shows “a popular demand sb that it cannot be ignored.” < Dulles said he was not sulggest- ‘ ing that “an orgy of selfindulgence is the answer to the - Soviet menace” because, he said. j.hat is immense and persistent. . . For that reason, he said, this is hot the time for the free world to relax and weaken , its military capacity. \ h ■ J - Suspend Officer 4 Freed Under Bond KANSAS CITY. Mo.
