Reveal Long Strides
In Airborne Warfare
BY the Assoeiuied Press

EGLIN FIELD, Fla, Oct. 5.-The
United States is making long strides
in the art of airborne troop warfare
joint military exercises here reveal
Among new techniques and equip
ment disclosed in demonstrations
are two of major significance:
l. An airborne force now can move
twice as many fighting men with
the same number of aircraft as in
World War II.
2. The conventional parachute
may be on its way out as a method
for dropping assault troopers, to be
replaced by rotary glider.
Operational plans and preliminary
demonstrations for Operation Com
bine" dealing with the airborne phase
Of these exercises, which are being
run by the battle-tested 82d Air
borne Division, shows that one mod
ern transport-cargo type plane can
carry AZ fully equipped paratroopers
compared with only 20 for most
World War II types.
Fewer Planes, Fields Needed.
This means that not only fewer
planes but fewer fields are needed.
Plans for an invasion of mythical
Deluvia by forces of Namora refer
to moving two corps of four divi-
sions of airborne combat troops.
That indicates 5000 men plus light
artillery, and vehicles are to be
transported in about $500 airplanes
and 5000 gliders, far better than
in World War II campaigns.
Operation Combine" yesterday
demonstrated lightning-swift tech
niques of launching an airborne
strike in this rapidly undermining
branch of the armed forces.
Weaknesses Corrected.
Airborne experts have corrected
many weaknesses displayed in
World War II operations. Among
them are improved systems for To-
eating drop zones into which cargoes
and troops are to be parachuted or
landed by glider. Among these
pathfinder" gadgets is an infra-
red signal which can be detected
usually by approaching planes at
3 miles or at 30 miles when a
special device is used.
There was only terse reference to
the new rotary glider device for
paratroopers. Most of the details
are still classified as secret, and
the drop device Is still in the ex-

Western ENJOYS Hope
Ito Resume Parleys
with MoIotoy Today
By Eddy Gilmore
A..oeiotsd Press Foreign Correspondent

AssocIofed Press Foreign Correspondent
MOSCOW, Aug. 7.-Envoys of the
three Western powers expect call
from Soviet Foreign Minister Molo-
TOW tomorrow or Monday to resume
negotiations to solve the East-West
deadlock in Germany and perhaps
all Europe.
After two lengthy meetings with
the Russians-one Monday night
with Prime Minister Stain and an
other last night with Mr.. Molotov-
all or most of the issues between the
four powers have been brought into
the open and laid on the conference
table.
The present stage was described
by an authoritative source here as
a negotiations period"
"a British diplomatic source
said In London the Western
powers thus far have failed to
agree with Russia on broad
basis for four-power talks on
Germany. The informant said
some progress was being made in
the negotiations but Russia had
raised objections to certain con-
crete proposals" made to Mr..
Molotov)
Several More Meetings Seen.
The negotiations period as such
may continue for some time. In
other words, there may be several
more meetings with Mr.. MolotoV
before all four negotiators are ready
to report back to Mr.. Stain.
At this point, things are believed
to be proceeding all right. There
have been a lot of rank exchanges
over the Berlin question and Ger
many. The three Western ENJOYS
have been talking pretty bluntly
about the Berlin blockade and the
Soviet has been just as frank about
Allied plans for a Western German
government, it was said.
The Literary Gazette said today
that "only a realization of Soviet
proposals on the future of Ger
many" would lead to settlement OF
the Berlin crisis and create condi-
tons for a firm peace in Europe.
Victor Mekrasov, the Gazette's
special Berlin correspondent, wrote
"a favorable and real solution to
the crisis created in Berlin as a
result of the impermissible one
sided action of the Western powers
is closely bound up with a decision
on the alderman problem as a
whole in the spirit of Potsdam,
which found its further expression
in the Warsaw Declaration and in
the answer of the Soviet Union to
notes of America, England and
France"

Move Discussed Privately.

Cannon urged the Communist
bloc to be realistic about Austria"
Under the Russian plan Austria
would be barred from membership
