Wants Reserve Strength
This nation does require, how
ever, capable well trained peace
time organization which will hold
immediate strength in reserve in
the event that the United States
ever needs to discourage an ag-
gressor, an orgination which will
continue to contribute to the peace
time life of the American people. "
Hitting at what he called bar
room tacticians' who say the atom
bomb renders armies obsolete, 1t.
Col. Osborne said, Let no Ameri-
can take this kind of talk seriously.
The world is familiar with the
American army's past and con-
tinuing contribution to the de-
velopment of atomic energy, and
familiar, too, with the need for a
vast and higher diversified mill
tary organization to develop and
handle this force, whether for wal
or peacetime use, in keeping with
its past record in other fields"
