Washington, March 20.--Chairman Carl Vinson of the House Armed Services Com- mittee today predicted speedy House appro- : val for the more than $1,000,000,000, pro- gramme of United States arms shipments to Western Europe to back up the North Atlan- tic defence pact.
A United Press poll showed top heavy Senate support for the pact itself. Of the Senators willing to comment, 52 said they ex- pect to vote for ratification, while two said they would oppose it. But there is much stronger Senate opposition to the followup arms programme,
The same altitude of support for the pact and doubt about the programme was voiced by the Republican foreign policy expert, Mr John Foster Dulles, in a round table discussion with State De- partment officials aired by the National Brodeasting Company...
Mr Dulles sall the pact "enh¡surb as those in the Kremlin be operated in such a way that might think it provocative of it is clear to all that it is purely war,"

The first wind tunnel designed to test supersonic flight conditions in the near vacuum 50 to 80 miles above the earth, is in operátion at the Uni- versity of California at Berkeley.
