They still raise some beautiful horses, however, including the Clydesdale and even the Greyshire, of which only 12 are left in the world today. In France, he continued, he saw only four power balers, and horse-power was the most common. The small Swiss farms, on the sides of hills, were shown, with their pastures high ’in the Alps, and small milking bams covering the slopes. The hay was cured on fences, as it rained so much it would not dry in coles or on stacks. Skitzerland is a country 0 of five million people, IV4 million Brown Swiss cows, and two million bicycles, he said. Italy still has an ox economy, and the dry, barren hills produce very little. Spain Is also a barren recion, with onlv a few fertile valleys. Dr. Krider used almost every type of transportation in the month-long trip, and returned by air to the United States. J ' ■ ■■ ” • d

Secretary General Dag Hammar- ’ skjold will try to find some long range answers to war — causing 1 problems on his trip to the Middle ; East, informed sources said today. The sources said he would not limit his talks with Middle East leader to the immediate fireworks on Israel’s borders with Jordan and Syria but would conduct a sweeping review of the whole Middle East situation. A U. N. spokesman announced Monday Hafnmarskjold will leave Friday for Amman, Jordan. He will spend a week in the area and try tc get to Israel, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt if he has time. Situation Tense In the past few days some of. the Israeli-Arab truce agreements have begun to disintegrate again. There were four shooting incidences on the Syrian-Israeli border Sunday and Monday. In the West, Israel accused Jordan of three attempted kidnapings and an illegal blockade of Mount Scopus in the neutral section of Jerusalem. The truce machinery run by the United Nations has threatened to break down completely- Jordan demanded the removal of U.S. Marine Col. Byron V. Leary as acting chief of staff of the Truce Supervision Organization. Hammarskjold expressed his full confidence in Leary and, this is one of the things he will talk to the Jordanians about, — Refugees Big Problem The main problem keeping the ' Middle East unsettled is the question of relocating nearly one mil--1 lion refugee Arabs from Palestine. Hammarskjold would be most likely to discuss this subject with all Middle East leaders. He also would be likely to discuss with Israeli and Egyptian officlas the future of the U. N. Emergency Force guarding the armistice line between those two nations.

Tells Senate Soviet Russia Is Far Ahead Says Soviet Union Leading U. S. In All Developments WASHINGTON (UP) - Lt. Gen. James H Doolittle said today the Russians are “certainly ahead” of the United States in missiles and “it is time to go all out” to find a defense against continent-span-ning rocket weapons. Doolittle, a scientist, businessman and World War II flying hero, appeared before the Senate Preparedness subcommittee investigating the U.S. missile and satellite programs. He threw at the committee a series of recommendations, including a call for Improved missile development by this country, and warned: “All this adds up to an immediate, substantial increase in our military budget.” Doolittle told the senators that the Soviet Union leads, the United.., States in development of both Intermediate and intercontinental range ballistic missiles. “Shoald Start at Once** He said the Strategic Air Force needed more planes, missiles as soon as they are available, adequate crews and airfields, more - flying time to operate on a "maximum alert.” For air defense, he said, there was a need for Improved radar, planes and missiles and more rapid development of the SAGE communication system. He said the Army and Navy also should be given the money to do their jobs. “We should start at once,” he said, “on tn anti-ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) program. ..ft is time to go all out” He said this anti-missile defense should include the means both to detect and to destroy enemy missiles. Doolittle said “the primary reason" for Russia’s lead was that the Soviet started working sooner on missiles. He said they started pushing their development 11 years ago, compared with four years ago for the United States. Better Kate of rrogress He also testified that the Russians have been working harder, “even in the schools,” “sacrificing more,” and have a longrange, consistent plan” aimed at achieving world domination. The general said he believes "the rate of Russian progress” to science and technology betters this country’s. He testified that Russia already has surged past the United States in some of these fields. And, he predicted, Russia wiU pass us in all of them if it continues Its present rate of progress. _ However, Doolittle said there is _ “considerable question’’ whether Russia has caught up with’ this country in air-to-air missiles. ;¥ar are replacing machine guns t?" • small cannons as the main arma I ment of fighter and planes.
