Planners Firm in Belief.
Atom Lead BaIks War,
But Will Not Be Cheap
BY Mox Boyd
Associofed Press Stoff Writer

Military planners are sticking
TO the belief that Americas ap-
parent lead in Atomic weapons
can prevent a third world war.
If one does come. they feel such
head start would play a major
role-along with the rest of the
nations defense m achine-in in
achieving victory.
But in conversations with a re-
porter they made clear they do
not think atomic superiority will
make defense cheap or easy.
They believe that new tactical
atomic weapons-weapons usable
against troops and their lines of
communications-hold the key to
a defense steup which the West
can achieve without spending be-
yond its means.
Lawton Sees Tactical Weapons.
In a radio and television broad
cast yesterday. Gen. J. Lawton
Collins, Army Chief of staff, said
that atomic weapons for use by
the army most assuredly can be
developed"
He declared the Army is doing
q great deal of work toward de-
veloping weapons that it can use
with atomic materials.
And he added that it is "by no
means impossible" to develop an
artillery piece that will fire an
atomic weapon. or guided missiles
which could carry an atomic war
head.
The Associated Press has re-
ceived authoritative information
that such weapons already have
been developed.
Referring obviously to Russia,
but without mentioning that
country by name, Gen. Collins
said:
1--WE don't believe the enemy
would have these weapons be-
cause there is a limit to his in
dustrial capacity and his research
and development field. We think
that we can and are keeping
ahead of him.
His statement opened the way
for public discussion as to how
such weapons can be fitted into
what Secretary of State Acheson
has called the Vests balanced
collective forces"
Under present law, atomic
weapons cannot be placed in the
hands of any foreign nation, not
even an Atlantic Pact ally.
Initial reaction in Congress to
the idea of arming American allies
with atomic weapons had indi-
Gated strong opposition springing
from the fear that such weapons
might fall into Communist hands,
or that their designs might be
revealed to Communists.
One solution under discussion
is to place atomic weapons in or
near Europe in American hands.
Fields Could Be Made Ready.
Air fields and other facilities
necessary to use atomic weapons
could be developed in Europe now,
but not actually stocked with
atomic weapons before an emer-
gency. The advance preparation
of facilities would be counted upon
to reduce greatly the time in which
atomic weapons could be brought
into action if needed.
Military men say that, although
tactical atomic weapons should
enable the Allies to secure Western
Europe with less troops than
Russia has. increased ground
armies and tactical air forces are
also essential in Europe.

stan had had no notice Of the
change in standards.
Complaints About Instructions.
The judge complained that her
instructions about smoking we're.
idisregarded. Miss Clary repheds
that the judges order prohibited
smoking in conferences. inter-
views and oyer-the-counter trans
actions" and that the judge had
made no reference TO smoking at
closed stan meetings such as the
supervisors meeting held in my
private once at which YOU and six
staff members were present"
The judge also complained Of
Miss Clary's negative and con-,
trary responses" as in the case
of a request for field work " e.
ment at the court and SeL.4ng Of
staff meetings at O time when the
Judge could definitely be present.
Miss Clary replied the Judge had
never given her an order for the
placement Of q field worker at
the court. As for the star meet-@
ings, Miss Clary said she had ex-
planned to the judge why she was
reluctant to change the time OF
a staff meeting when the Judge
asked about it two hours before
the time of the meeting.
The time the Judge suggested.

appointments made by IL Staff
members with their clients. many
of whom are working people
whose time is not their own and
whose appointments should not

SON."
However. Miss Clary added.
when you made it clear that you
were giving an order I did change
the time of staff meeting and the
appointments of the IL staff mem
bers were rearranged."

to give the basis for his recent
optimistic statement about peace.
Acheson Cites War Period.
The Secretary said there is no
difference between the President S
statement and the testimony be-
ing presented in support of con-
tinuing foreign military aid.
With a trace of a smile, he told
Mr.. Fulton that what the Presi-
dent said last week lis obviously
true-we are nearer to peace in
1850 than in 1945."
Tn 1945, Mr.. Acheson went on,
1--WE were either at war or just at
the end of war. Now, certainly
the situation today is an improve
ment over that"
Other highlights of the House
hearing were:
l. Secretary Acheson told Chair
man Kee he would not hazard an
opinion as to how many years the
military aid program must con-
tinue.
2. The Secretary testified "the
Soviet Union could do much TO
tighten this burden for every
body" presumably by changing its
policies.
3. Representative Eaton of New
jersey, ranking Republican on the
committee, and a strong supporter
of administration foreign policy,
suggested that "the program you
outlined today means we are in a
war now to defend ourselves
against enslavement, and all this
talk about peace is a delusion.
Army Program Explained.
Mr.. Acheson replied:
Il do not like to talk about our
being in war now. If we are in
a situation of tenseness it is not
by any intention of ours. I do not
think of this program as prepa-
ration for war. but I am satisfied
it is the best means of preventing
war"
Representative Smith. Republi-
can. of Wisconsin, critic of ad-
ministration foreign policy, sug-
gested that what you are doing
in the arms program is setting
up an international army"
Secretary Acheson called that
a "misconception." He explained
there will continue to be national
armies. but their defense plans
are being co-ordinated.
In opening his testimony, Mr.,
johnson told the Senators: only
on even terms can we hope to
reach solution of the problems
that face the world today"
He added that Soviet inten-
tions must be judged from their
actions"
johnson Urges Strength.
He said that the 1850 program,
even when completed. would not
eliminate the dangerous disparity
in strength between the armed
East and the disarmed West.
Potential strength is not
enough" he said. "To meet the
speed of modern attack there must
also be strength in being. Euro
pean forces must be increased to
meet the existing threat of aggres-
sion."
He said that in addition to the
appropriation needed to carry OF
next years assistance program
several amendments were needed.
He asked for a.change to allow
authority for the United States
to furnish the pact countries with
production equipment and ma
chinery.
He said the pact nations also
needed spare parts for equipment
already obtained and that they
should not be required to pay in
advance the full cost of the equip
ment.
Mr.. johnson reported vast prog
ress in the Arms Aid program in
the last six months and said it
was due largely ito the realization
by every treaty nation that this
is peace in name only"
