Groves Says H-Bomb
Isn't Overall Answer
To Military Problems
BY the Associated Press

HAMILTON, N. Y, July B.
1t. Gen. Leslie r. Groves asserted
tonight that the hydrogen bomb
would not be an overall remedy
for the nations military problems.
The wartime head of the Man.
haitian (atom bomb Project said
I'VE must not neglect the other
elements of our armament"
Gen. Groves presented his ap-
praisal of the H-bomb at Colgate
University's American Foreign
Policy Conference day after
President Truman asked Congress
to provide $3.50 million to speed
the atomic defense program.
Gen. Groves said there was no
one who could now state whether
it was possible to produce hy-
drogen bomb.
Won't Win Wars.
''If such a hydrogen bomb is
scientifically possible. American
science will design, and American
industry will manufacture it," he
said, and added:
Certainly, the hydrogen bomb
will not be. and should not be ex-
pected to be, panacea for our
military problems.
With it we would have tre-
mendous advantage over any enc
my who does not possess it if we
are capable of destroying a city
of one million inhabitants by
dropping one bomb.
But bombs also do not win
wars and keep peace. Wars are
won by those nations which
possess the greatest all-round
strength. and really powerful ma
tions are seldom molested by
weaker ones"
Sayre Speaks.
Francis B. Sayre. United States
representative on the United Ma
tions Trusteeship Council. told a
conference session earlier in the
day that the Soviet Union sis
ranged against the moral force OF
the world"
THAT is a force" he said,
against which no people can ulti-
mately win"
The Foreign Policy Conference,
which will continue through July

delegates from 13 Eastern states
and official representatives of %
