Some Encouraging Features.
On his arrival in the Unitee
States Saturday. Gen. Elsen'
hover commented that Their,
had been encouraging as we'll a.
discouraging developments in TIT
NATO military setup. An oblique
reference to difficulties seemed tt
fit in with widely current report:
that a new objective is to get arm:
into a compact. fully equipped
mutual defense organization
quickly rather than to continue tt
push at a much slower pace TO-
ward a goal of 10 or 80 ground
divisions some time in 1854.
Among other things this will
mean to the United States are
these: There would have to be q
shift in arms production empha-
sis to speed up the flow to Europe
under the Mutual Defense Assist
ance Program, there would be a
reduction at least in some degree
the delivery rate to United States
forces; the financial outlay by
American taxpayers might have to
be increased to speed up the for
eign military program.
1t will be Mr.. Humans task
if he accepts these recommended
lions, to sell the idea to Congress
when it returns for an election
year session.
