Industry 10 Be Given
Use Of Atomic Piles
BY The Asseeioted Press

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 6.-The
Atomic Energy Commission ex-
poets soon to authorize private
industry to use atomic piles for
producing power, Acc Chairman
Gordon Dean said today.
Mr.. Dean was here to speak at
commencement exercises at the
University of Louisville.
He said in an interview that
The commission will clear the plan
with leaders Of the power industry
and let them observe the atomic
energy processes. "Then," Mr..
Dean added, they can draw up
their own designs and submit
them for us to see. If they are
satisfactory, we can do business.
He explained that the atomic
power plants would be built with
private funds. The plants would
produce plutonium, radioactive
element. in which the Government
would retain ownership.
In Washington yesterday the
Acc released rs patents for
licensing.
Most of the patents are in the
field of chemical processing or
are electrical gauging devices.
They are owned by the United
States Government.

More National Guard Divisions
MoyBeCoIIed, Gen. CoIIinsSoys

AT present the Army is COM
posed of - Regular divisions. six
National Guard divisions and an
undisclosed number of regimental
combat teams "a subdivisional
organization), to give the Army
an overall strength equivalent
to "a divisions. This includes
a constabulary force in Eu-
rope equal to a division in strength
and organization.
Gen. Collins said he thought
the three remaining divisions
destined for Europe would be on
their way in the next two or three
months. Previously. the general
expectation war, that one of the
divisions-the I'd Armored-would
be en- route by then with the 9TH
ers to follow late this year or early
in 1852. The United States has
pledged a total force of six divi-
sions to the Western European de-
fenSe organization.
The Army Chief Of Staff came
back from his visit to United
States troops in Europe pleased
with what he saw. of the GIs on
duty in Germany. Austria and
Trieste-"they are in excellent
shape" He was particularly
pleased with the type of training
they are getting" at the Army's
big overseas exercise and maneu-
YER area near Grafenwoehr, Ger
many, except in one phase.
II noticed what I have noticed
in other places, that our troops
are still making too many frontal
attacks" Gen. Collins said.
He doesn't like this. He said
the American Army plan is to
hold on q front while striking at
the flanks of an enemy. Frontal
attacks, said Gen. Collins, cost
too much in casualties.

By Elton c. Foy

Associated Press Military Affoirs Reporter
The Army probably will build
up it's combat strength within a
year by adding two or three more
National Guard divisions and may
form some new regular divisions
and regimental combat teams.
The Army Chief Of Staff, Gen.
Collins, expects two or three more
of Vhe State divisions to be FEEDER
allied.
But, he told reporters who met
him on his return yesterday from
a European inspection tour. the
size of the Army won't mount
much beyond the 1852, ,000-man
goal set for the end of this month
and probably will be under 1.6
million.
The Army's strength about q
month ago was approximately Ia
million. Thus the increase to the
June 30 objective would mean 152,-
900 more men. These are volun-
teers and draftees, some Of whom
will go into regular Army divisions
now being brought up to strength
and some into Federalized Nation
al Guard divisions which were at
about half their authorized 18,000-
man strength when they came
into Federal service.
Present Structure Adequate.
The structure of the Army now
is adequate to take care Of several
additional divisions without in
creasing substantially the overall
strength. one expert
pointed out today. This means
that the numbers Of maintenance
and supply troops are enough to
support several extra combat divi-
sions without recruiting more sup
port troops.
The $4,000 additional manpow-
er put into the Army between
early May and the end of June
will be sufficient not only to fill
out the rolls of existing divisions,
but to form new units. This will
be true especially if the Army
strength mounts toward the 1.6
figure mentioned by Gen.
Collins. The general commented
that NOW. for the first time. we
have a backlog of trained men"

Only four years had passed
since General st. Claire's army
had been defeated by the Indian
Tribes at Fort Recovery in the
worst disaster since Braddock's
defeat. Those we're dark days in
deed for the white settlers in the
Ohio Country. Until General
Wayne broke the Indian power, it
was thought that westward ex-
pansion of the United States had
been stopped short of the present
border Of Indiana.
On that hot August day in 1875,
1880 chiefs and warriors of the
Delawares, Wyandots, Shawnees,
Ottawas, Chippewas, Miamis and
Kickapoos met General Wayne
and his officers at old Fort Green
vile. Chiefs Little Turtle, Black
Hoof, Blue Jacket, Tarhe and all
the others made their peace with
the Thirteen Fires" as they called
the federal States.
This ended the bloody Indian
Wars which had been fought by
the French, by the British and by
