WASHINGTON i/F — Secretary
of Commerce Luther Hodges offers
this simple reason for government
growing bigger by the day: There’s
a demand for it.
Therefore, Hodges told a House
Civil Service Subcommittee, “we
can probably never do more than
make a reasonable dent in the cost
of our federal structure.”

Kremlin Says NATO
Nuclear Force Would
Start Rocket-Nuclear Race
MOSCOW W — The Soviet
Union has told the United States
the creation of a multi-national
nuclear force under NATO will
“unleash a race in rocket-nuclear
armaments,” Tass said yesterday.
The statement was made in a
Soviet government note to the
United States handed by Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko
to the U.S. ambassador in Moscow
Monday.
It described the NATO nuclear
plan as an attempt to give the
Bundeswehr — West German
Army — and the “armed forces of
other countries access to nuclear
rocket weapons, to extend prepa
rations for thermo-nuclear war
and to unleash a race in nuclear
rocket armaments transcending all
antional and geographic bound
aries.”
The Soviet government declared
that the plan is “a modern ex
pression of the position of strength
policy, a policy of pressure and
dictate of which nuclear weapons
are proclaimed as the main ele
ment and core.”
The Soviet givernment called on
the U.S. government to help re
solve the paramount international
problems and, by joint effort, to
halt the race in nuclear-rocket
armaments, Tass said.
This call was also made in
similar notes Gromyko handed to
the British ambassador and the
West German charge d’affairs
Monday.
Copes were forwarded to the
governments of other NATO na
tions.
In Washington, officials said the
note is under study and the United
States will consult with other
NATO members on it.
Studies at Cincinnati and Wayne
Universities find that women are
harder to please than men and
“more easily annoyed by trifles.”
