Three More Divisions
For Army Studied
During Fiscal '53
n ~.s
BY John A. Giles

| ARMED services expansion plans
under consideration at the Pen
tagon call for adding more air
power to the Navy's big carriers,
boosting the Air Force from 95
up to $50 groups and the creation
of three more Army divisions.
Officials said today that the
plans, if adopted. would. be in
corporated into the 1853 fiscal
year budget. The services are
now building up to a strength of
3.5 million officers and men dur
ing the current fiscal period.
The expansion of the Navy, in
addition to the added air power,
would include boosting the
strength of the anti-submarine
warfare force and the strength of
the Marine Corps, rather than
adding more warships to the oper-
Iating fleet.
The Air Force has plans for
ITO, 125, $50 and l75-group sched-
ules with officials placing most
emphasis on the 150-group plan.
1t is estimated that such a force
would cost around $50 billion a
year. This sum compares with
the entire cost of World War II
military aircraft of some $44.S
billion.
Concentrate on BOmberS.
The Air Force expansion would
be concentrated more in the
Strategic Air Command-the big
bomber fleet which would be used
to deliver atomic bombs in an
initial attack and which air Off
cials regard as the greatest de-
terrent to World War III.
The Army and Air Force ex-
Ipansion hopes have been getting
increasing publicity in recent
weeks. especially the latter serv-
ice However. Air Force Secretary
Finletter has stoutly maintained
that that service would keep its
fight within the Pentagon and
not take it to Capitol Hill as was
the case several years ago when
air advocates fought for a To-
group force. This assertion comes
despite the fact that it is known
that top Air officials have been
privately campaigning on the
outside for expansion.
The Army is now building to-
ward the equivalent of "a divisions.
t Expansion for Navy.
In the Navy expansion from the
!pre-Korean feet size. the proper
ton of aircraft strength to that
Iof carriers has not been equal.
When the operating feet had six
of the Midway or Essex class fiat
tops during the economy era pre-
Iceding the war, the air strength
consisted of eight carrier air
groups
But with IL carriers now or soon
to be in operation, the number of
air groups currently provided for
is only IA. The size of the group
varies with both carriers and the
type of group.
Navy interest in building UP it's
Ioperational effectiveness is spurred
by new reports of intensified Rus
sian naval construction.
One report is that the Red fleet
has an aircraft carrier under con-
struction and under cover so that
it cannot be spotted from the air.
This tactic was used by the
Germans in building warships
prior to World War II. Until now
