Grigg London up a surging ave of unrest is sweeping across the communist nations of soviet dominated Eastern  believe it could swell into a revolutionary upheaval of the same proportions As the one in 1956 that was Cli maxed by the hungarian up rising. Only this time expert believe it would be very much harder if not impossible forthe soviets to crush it with  the very least experts Here believe it must be Cau Singas much concern to the soviet leaders As the military defection of France from the North Atlantic treaty organization nato has caused to washing ton London and  a week three major events have highlighted this growing communist unrest. Romania which for More than two years has taken an increasingly Independent line from Moscow walked out of the recent communist party Confer ence in Budapest. The roman Ian delegation did so on the Flimsy pretext that it had been insulted by the syrians. Infant it clearly was a gesture of Defiance against the soviets. In Poland whose communist party Boss Wladyslaw Gomulka remains one of the old timecard liners of the soviet bloc there has been a wave of Stu Dent demonstrations in which police have used tear Gas an scores of students have been arrested in Street  demonstrations started after communist authorities banned further showings of the play the ancestors by Adam Nickiewicz because the Audi ence applauded anti russian passages. In Czechoslovakia president Antonin Novotny appears to Beon the verge of being ousted or retired for health reasons. Novotny also a hard liner was removed in january from his former position As communist party Boss of Czechoslovakia. He was replaced by Alex Ander Dubcek a slovak and Aman reputed to favor gradual easing of communist restrictions that have throttled free Dom of speech and thought in the country for 20 years.

On sunday thousands of czechs gathered bareheaded at the Graves of Thomas Masaryk founder of the nation and his son former foreign minister Jan Masaryk who died after plunging from a window at the time of the communist takeover 20 years ago. The names of both Masaryk have been virtually unmentionable in that country for the past 20  soviets so far have maintained total silence about the growing wave of unrest. There has been no mention of it inthe soviet press. Experts Here interpreted this As an indication of the concern with which mos cow must be viewing , it was thought Al most inconceivable the russians could use troops and tanks to crush this new unrest As the did the hungarian revolt in november 1958.at that time the russians maintained three army division sin Hungary. They were Able to reinforce these when the revolt erupted and were Able to crush it without having to resort to actual  there Are no soviet troops in Czechoslovakia now. The russians it is noted Here could uses Force there Only by an open invasion. Western diplomats be Lieve the soviets would avoid such action except As the very last resort. Satellites support .

They re still in use but the defense department now has 18jamproof, secure communications satellites of its own provid ing worldwide coverage. In addition to teletype and radio messages these satellites can rapidly relay important photos such As bomb damage for Quick assessment in Washington.

The principal argument that racked the measure All through its Progress in Bol Senate and House remains an resolved should stores that offer revolving credit be allowed to state the charge in a monthly percentage such As l i per cent or required to give an an Nual figure such As 18 per cent the Senate voted for monthly terms strongly favored by most of the businesses concerned the House for annual terms.

On would exempt from the calculation of annual percentage the first $1 of monthly charge. So far no takers. The other differences be tween the two Bills while the Are significant could probably be resolved fairly easily once the revolving credit Issue is out of the Way. Here Are the major ones the Senate Bill would exempt from any kind of percent age disclosure credit charges of less than $10 on any  on terms this might mean that purchases up to about $100 would be exempt the House Bill has no such exemption.

Within a few years commanders in Washington May sit before a television set and watch As a Battle rages in a far off place. In the late 1970s, the defense department would like to have a huge Multi purpose satellite incorporating  communications navigation. Three such Satel Lites equally spaced in station Ary orbits 23,000 Miles above the Equator would cover the Globe providing an accurate daily record of every military operation on Earth. Eventually these orbiting command posts might be manned by military astronauts.
