New Tooling Required.
Production is not being started
now on the new light rife, officials
said, because rifles are needed i'm
mediately. The tools needed to
produce the MI in quantity are
available; vast new tooling pro-
gram would be necessary to pro-
tduce the new ones. In addition.
large stocks Of MI ammunition
are available wherever the Army
Is stationed"
Nevertheless, the Army's ord
nance experts indicated strongly
that they consider the new weapon
to be the logical successor to the
reliable semi-automatic Garand.
Col. Rene Studler, small arms
research chief for the Army chief
OF ordnance, said the new weapon
meets the long-sought objective of
a rifle lighter than the MI and
capable of full automatic fire, but
which retains the accuracy and
striking power of the MI.
Semi-automatic firing means
that the trigger must be pulled
for each shot. In a full auto
matte, the rife fires in machine
gun-like bursts as long as the
trigger is held and until the clip is
empty. The rate of full automatic
fire in the new weapon, officials
said. is 700 rounds per minute.
Higher Number of Hits.
In addition to the high-speed
automatic fire, marksmen can
fire faster with the new rifle in
semi-automatic form than with
an MI. The skilled marksman, {"
with the MI, officials said, will
deliver "a hits per minute on a
man-sized target at 100 yards" ("
With the. new rifle, the number

Navy Plans 10 Bo|steI
Carrier Plane Force
And Anti-Sub Fleet

More air power for the large
aircraft carriers and a stronger
anti-Submarine warfare force
rather than merely adding large
warshipS to the fleets, is the Navy's
plan for future expansion.
A Defense Department official
disclosing this yesterday, also said
that the sea arm wants additional
Marines in the armed services ex-
pansion program under the budget
for the fiscal year beginning July
l. 1852.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff also
are considering:
The addition of three more
Army divisions.
2. The creation of more air
groups.
150-GrOup Plan Emphasized.
On paper, the Air Force has
plans to build up to 110 groups,
125 groups. $50 groups, or IT'S
groups. Air officials, however,
place most emphasis on the 150-
group program. Their present
actual buildup is on a 95-group
basis. That objective will be
reached by June, 1852, but the air
arm will not be completely
equipped with modern planes
until perhaps a year later. 1t is
estimated that a 150-group force
would cost $50 billion annually.
In expansion of the Navy from
the pre-Korean size, the propor-
ton of aircraft to carriers has not
stayed in balance. When the op-
Grating fleet had six Midway and
Essex class carriers during the
Louis johnson economy days, the
air strength was eight carrier air
groups.
But with a dozen carriers of
these classes now in operation or
soon to be, the number of air
groups currently provided for is
only IA. Navy planners believe
this will be insufficient number for
the size of the carrier feet.
An increase in anti-submarine
strength would include several
types of weapons to combat enemy
submersibles - specially equipped
destroyer sub-killers. aircraft
of both heavier and lighter than
air categories and submarines spe-
cially designed for the purpose.
Red Navy Busy.
Navy interest in building up OPP
irrational effectiveness is spurred
by new reports of intensified Rus
sian naval construction, including
an aircraft carrier.
In any new war, the Air Force
Strategic Air Command would
have a greatly enlarged function
1t is expected that an elert enemy
would Immediately undertake a.
paralyzing attack by manned
planes or guided missiles - upon
American resources. Therefore, it.
appears certain that the air arm
will build up its strategic fleet to
provide forces whose exclusive task
would be destroying bases from
which the enemy would take off
for attacks on American eenters.
1t also was learned that Gen.
Hoyt S. Vandenberg, Air Force
Chief of Staff, has ordered an in
tensive study Of air manpower use |
The air arm manned 40 groups
with 100000 officers and men while
plans call for more than a million
for 81 groups.
