was disregarded by the Air Force
in the recent prosecution of the B-3t
procurement program.
You have asked whether the de-
cision to cancel the construction
of the aircraft carried United
States was sound. :
In testifying on this decision ]
am aware that my personal opin-
ions are we'll known and may be
misconstrued at this time as hav-
ing a direct relationship to the
B-36. I must state emphatically,
therefore, that my views concern
ing the B-36 are not influenced in
any way by the decision to halt
construction of the carrier.
Land and naval air power will each
have vital job to do in any future
war. Each weapon system must be
carefully weighed on its own merits
in the light of its intended con-
tribution to the successful prose-
cution of tasks assigned in our
Joint plans for military emer-
gencies.
I believe the decision to halt
construction of this carrier was
made with a lack of appreciation
of two factors.
The first is the role of mobile
air power in future war,
The second Is that the carrier
United States, as a prototype, was
a logical step in further develop
ment of an essential naval weapon
system. An understanding Of its
value could only come through con-
scientious and objective, study, or
through experience.

plans or of repudiating them after
they had been announced to the
public and to the aircraft industry.
The testimony presented to you
shows that the B-36 was chosen
|by the Air Force almost exclusive
lily in the basis that it is the only
|"intercontinental" bomber now
available. This Is significant
point, and your committee should
explore it thoroughly. Under what
circumstances and by whom has
lit been determined that a major
slice of the limited funds appropri-
ated for national security be, al
located to an 'intercontinentaI'
bomber? Was this a joint deter
mination of all services? .''
Summarizing the history Of the
B-36, I believe that the Air Force
has based the need for large num-
bers of this plane on unflaterally
determined military requirements.
They have done so without proper
coordination with the other serv-
ices and agencies which are equally
interested in and responsible for
national security.
l believe that this history Of the
procurement of the B-36 in guam
tity in the military establishment
as a whole demonstrates the need
for careful procedures and appropri-
ate safeguards for weapon develop
ment and procurement within the
Department of Defense.
Superimposed upon the services in
resolving these issues are the Sec
retary of Defense, the procedures for
budget formulation and review and
finally the Congress. 1t is my firm
belief that these processes are essen
TALLY sound and that they will
accomplish the necessary co-ordina-
tion if carefully followed.
A clear statement of this principle
was written into the memorandum
for. the record which Mr.. Forrestal
made a part of the Key West agree
ment. This memorandum, still in
effect, states in part:
Nothing in the foregoing shall, in
itself, be construed as placing arbi+

tee.

fault for this lack of understanding,
the fact is that we failed in our
efforts to bring to our sister services
and to the American public al
large-an effective clear picture
showing how further development
OF the aircraft carrier as a type, as
well as the improved aircraft associ-
ated with it, would add to the future
offensive power, not only of the
Navy, but of oil the armed services
as a team. -
For myself, I am most deeply
concerned that a precedent has been
set to stop the logical development
of valuable weapon system. It is
comparable to telling any large in
dustrial corporation that they shall
make no further efforts to improve
the quality of their product. 1t is
not in accord with our American
tradition of exploiting to the maxi
mum our capacity for ingenuity,
progress, and vision. 1t stultifies
that enterprise and flexibility which
have contributed so much to the
attainment of our present position
of leadership in the world.
No Meeting Of Minds.
Before concluding my testimony.
I should like to discuss a subject
touched upon earlier: the nature
of a future war in relation to our
present problems. This is the heart
of the matters which you are in
vestigating. 1t is the subject which
other naval witnesses who will fol-
low me can develop for you in
detail.
One fact stands out from the
developments of the past two years
In the B-36 program and from the
testimony presented to you here by
officials of the Air Force.
One member of the defense team
in one branch of the Government
asserts that the best guarantee for
security lies first in pre-
venting war by the threat Of atomic
annihilation, and second in prose-
cutting such a war of annihilation
If we have to fight.
The testimony that has been pre-
sented to you gives the overall
that there Is 8 meeting
of minds as to these theories in
the Department of Defense. This
impression Is wrong. /

Air Force Action Criticized.
Through the entire year OF 1914

Navy Department were given th'

generally by the American public
OF the concept that we could, ir
the event of war, buy quick, easy
cheap victory based on a bombing
blitz. 1t was apparent that complete
evaluation OF all aspects of this
problem had to be undertaken ir
order to reach sound conslusions
on its purely military factors. Ac-
cordingly, in the fall of ls48 Joint
studies were initiated to obtain such
evalutions.
With the knowledge that studies
of this nature were in progress
the Air Force on two occasions
the previously mentioned one in
early January, 1949, and again In
April, 1949-and as matter OF
urgency, requested approval of pro-
grams involving large expenditures
Of funds for more Of the B-36s--a
plane whose employment in combat
Is part and parcel Of these atomic

The precipitate action by the Air
Force in January, 1949, placed Mr..

blitz-which promises them a cheap
and easy victory If war should come
Consequently, the American people
and indeed the whole world, will
take your final action In this in
vestigation to be the approval OF
disapproval of a theory of warfare
which, am conffdent, is not gen.
orally accepted as sound by military
men.
Since the B-36 does symbolic this
theory. this plane has attained an
Importance out Of proportion to the
real issues involved. 1t therefore
cannot be ignored.
B-36 Is Discussed.
I regret. that this Is true for
would prefer that, and other. wit
nesses outline in constructive man
ner the broad and vital problems
affecting our national security be-
fore discussing the relative merits
of the B-36 as a weapon.
1t Is my intention to give you al
this point my views on the B-36
In considering whether the
B-36 is a satisfactory weapon we
must answer two basic questions:
First, can the B-36 be intercepted
and destroyed in unacceptable num-
bers on unescorted missions at all
speeds and attitudes at which it can
operate?
Second, If the B-36 reaches q
target, can it hit what needs to be
hit from high altitude?
Can Intercept B-36.
The answer to the first question
is: Yes, the B-36 can be intercepted
and destroyed in unacceptable num-
bers If it is unescorted. Today, in
terms of the Air Force chart which
was presented to this committee at
an earlier session, American planes
! by day or night and at, all, speeds
and attitudes which the Ba18 can
operate on military missions, can
locate the bomber. intercept the
bomber, close on the bomber, and
destroy the bomber" Our present
ability to do. this will increase
greatly during the service life of
the B-36 1t is folly to assume that
a potential enemy cannot do as
we'll.
T can sincerely say to you that
I hope that enemy bombers which
may attack our country in any
future conflict will be no better
than the B-36.
The second question concerns the
ability of the B-36 to hit what needs
to be hit from high altitude.
There are no significant develop
ments which have improved bomb
ing accuracy at 10000 feet-under
battle conditions and without local
control of the air-over that which
obtained in the last war for bomb
ing at 10000 feet. It was then found
that, to be effective. bombing often
had to be done at much lower
attitudes. 1t could be done effec-
lively at any altitude only with
reasonable local control Of the air
In the target area. Bombing at very
high altitude can be effective only
on targets of great area.
B-36 Claims Not Valid.
I am aware that you have been
given testimony calculated to show:
/. That the B-36 can, with &C
ceptable losses, perform unescorted
missions by day or by night:
2. That inadequate radar per-
formances makes it difficult to inter-
cept by day or by night at attitudes
over 10000 feet:
3. That during the next i've years
there will be no night fighter capable
Of giving the B-36 serious trouble;
and
4. That in time of war the B-36
from attitudes greater than 10000
feet will be able to perform effective
and precise bombing by day and by
night.
These assertions are not valid
Evening star., 1949-10-07
This is a partial tert OF Ad-
mtrdl Arthur w. Radtord's
statement to the House Armed
SerpiceS Committee todnu.

At the outset. I should like to
state my position as clearly and as
forcefully as can. The views which
I will express are my own. I.
testify as citizen and as a pro-
fessional student of warfare-not
merely as a naval officer whose
career has been largely devoted to
aviation. I am concerned with the
future Of the Navy and the future
OF naval aviation only as they can
contribute to the security of our
Nation.
AS an aviator of almost 30 years
experience I am strong advocate
Of air power. The national air
power of the United States is the
sum Of our land air power and cur
naval air power. That air power
is unquestionably the dominant fac
tor in our national security. Lest
there be any doubt about my per-
sonal position in regard to the
assignment of roles and missions as
between land air power ard naval
air power, invite attention to the
fact that ! was party to the 1948
Key West Agreement on Roles and
Missions of the Armed Forces. That
agreement assigns strategic air war
fare as a primary mission of the
Air Forces. ="
In giving you my frank views,
some criticism is inevitable. I regret
that this is so, for I realize how
necessary is the spirit Of unity and
cooperation in our Armed
Forces.
Issue of Security.
The fact that I have been called
TO testify before you requires me
to be outspoken. I do so in the
hope that it will help speed the
time when real meeting of minds
on vital issues may be achieved
among all three services. Unif1ca-
ton, like proper habits of thought
and morale, cannot be brought abut
by legislation alone. $50
You had before you two distinct
major issues. y.
The first, concerning charges of
political and financial intrigue in
connection with the procurement Of
the B-36, has been disposed of by
the committee.
The second major issue of the In
vestigation, which you are now con-
sidering and with which my testi-
mony is concerned, deals with the
kind of war for which this country
should be prepared believe this
issue to be by far the more sign1h-
cant, since the security of the United
States in the immediate and FORE
seeable future is at stake.
Committee Findings Important.
Eventually the conclusions of the
committee will have marked, If
not controlling influence upon the
kind OF war this country will fight,
If we are forced to fight. Even more
zrave-your conclusions may well
determine the kind of peace which
would follow such a conflict.
An aggressor nation can set the
time and place for initial military
operations, and hence may strongly
affect early defense measures.
However, If we are soundly organized,
trained and equipped, an enemy
cannot, in the final analysis, deter
mine the type of war We choose to
fight, to ultimate victory. Further
more, the type of war we plan to
fight must fit the kind of peace
we want.
The testimony before this COM
n,ittee thus far has been concerned
largely with the B-36 program. :
