Quarter-BTIion Dollars Needed. Congress Told

WASHINGTON. July 7 -(AP)- President Truman called on Con- gress today to provide s200.000,000 to speed the United states atomic defence program and further the work of developing the hydrogen bomb.

The money is needed for addit- ional and more efficient plants "of Bdilanced design." capable of pro- ducing either weapons for war or fuels potentially useful for peace- time power. the President said.

Until genuine and effective in- ternational control of atomic energy can be achieved, he said. "we must strengthen our own de- fences."

Members of Congress request was planned Korean outbreak.

Truman who first gave a public go-ahead for work on the H-bomb last Jan. 31 noted in his statement today that the January directive instructed the Atomic Energy Commission to continue its work on all forms of atomic weapons," including the hydrogen fusion bomb.”

His statement made no mention of the fact that the Commission, normally a five-member body. down to three -- i ' His reappointment of Summer T. ike has been under heavy fire from some senators, with a vote on con- firmation due Monday.

333-I-IN. July '7 -(A?) -Eight Russian divisions are churning up the dust of East Ger-man'y's plains in extensive war games. American authorities reported today.

The Korean conflict and its un- certain politlcal trends may be a factor. United States observers say, but they think it more likely that the Russians manoeuvres have been stepped up because of the influx of thousands of young, un- trained troops.

John J. MioCloY. United States high commissioner. told a press conference in Frankfurt today there are no signs of any immedi- ate attack on Western Germany "and I don't think there is going to be any attack."

"In fact. I think the develop- ments in Korea may make such an attack less likely,” Mccloy said.

The Russians have always main. tained an armed force in East Ger. many in large as the combined American. British and French some

in the west. Intelligence sources say this relationship has not changed. Mccloy said "our own (Allied) actions will determine

to a large extent whether there will be any aggression in Europe" "If we show wtakness, aggress- ion is likely," he said, "but 1 think that war can be avoided. chiefly by showing strength in the West and convincing the world that we are ready to fight if necessary." Mccioy said he had no reports of any "unusual" troop movements in Eastern Germany or any other indications of early military action. He said there were some reports of troop movements in the Balkans,
