Yorty read the report into the congressional record yesterday.

An Air Force spokesman said today it was prepared at Yorty's request in the office of Maj. Gen. Robert E. L. Elton, director of legislative liaison, SEN.

FERGUSON (R-Mich), whose senate appropriations subcommittee heard testimony from Wilson on the Air Force cuts earlier this week, said he will demand that those responsible for the report go before his subcommittee. He said the report "disputes the facts as I understand At the heart of the controversy is the question of just what role the joint chiefs of staff played in deciding on the reduction in Air Force funds.

HIS STATEMENT, given at a news conference here just before he flew on to Karachi, Pakistan, aroused special interest in the light of the coming meeting of President Eisenhower, Prime Minister Churchill and whatever premier takes up the reins of France's fallen government. Churchill has expresed the hope the big three talks next month might lead to a broader discusion of East West tension with Soviet Premier Georgi N. Malenkov. "I DOUBT," said Dulles, "that very important results could come out of any high level conference including the leaders Soviet Russia so long as the Soviet bloc countries are promoting a war of aggresion in Korea, a war of aggresion in Indochina against Laos; so long as in Europe they refuse to restore the independence of Austria and withdraw their 00- cupation troops from that small and inoffensive country." IT WAS THE first full-fledged news conference Dulles had given on his fact finding tour of the Middle East and South Asia. He answered only written tions handed to him in advance and refused to make any off-thecuff comments, a procedure which aroused resentment among 100 Indian reporters eager to get more details on Dulles' policy statements.
