RED sTnEE.NsGT;;,, AT 200 DIVS. SAY BRITISH

LONDON, May 4 -lR- British government intelligence has revised it's estimate of Soviet Army strength to 200 divisions, a qualified source said today.
 Only last March American and British estimates of Russia n strength placed Soviet Army man. power at ITS divisions and 2,800,000 men.
 The new figure does not neces- saryily mean the Soviets are mobil- izing, the source said. It could mean that better or more detailed intelli- gence reports brought about the re- vision, or it could mean the Rus sians are building their forces in the same way the western Allies are swelling theirs.
 An average Russian division is be- lieved to be made up of 10000 com bat troops plus the usual reserves technicians, cooks, drivers and SC forth

26 Radar Stations In U.S., Territories
 To Be Constructed

WASHINGTON, May 4, - tR = The government plans to place modern airport surveillance radar installations at 26 points in the United States, Alaska and Hawaii during the year starting July l.
 These devices, which scan the skies and detect planes within a 30-mile radius, will be civilian in- stallations, but will be closely tied in with the national defense set- up
 Plans for the radar Installations were disclosed in House Appro- priations subcommittee testimony made public today.
 The list of proposed radar sites was presented to the committee by C. F. Horne. director of the office of Federal Airways. The machines would be installed and operated by the Civil Aeronautics Administra- tion.
 Tied in With Defense
 Horne did not in his testimony discuss use of the surveillance radars, but a CAA spokesman told a newsman they will be closely tied in with the defense set-up."
 Identification" he added, lis a major function of the CAA. We are linked directly by phone, tele- types and otherwise with defense facilities"
 The radars are not, he said, pri- marily for defense purposes, but they will constitute a backstop for military installations.
 Their value for Identification purposes in wartime is obvious, the CAA spokesman said.
 He added that the radars are to be placed "in general" at airports handling a heavy volume of traffic. He noted. however, that many of the sites are adjacent to strategic defense areas.
 Installations outside the U. s would be located at Annette Island and Fairbanks, Alaska, and Hono- lulu.
