Italy Claims
Army To Be

By JAMES N. LONG

That army, the ministry says,
will have 4 fighting firepower
equal or superior to the equivalent
number Of British or American
divisions.
Most Of the new firepower has
been gained by 4 switch, under
the American arms aid program,
from old British and Italian ID
modern u. S. arms.
American military observers and
U. S. correspondents who have
seen Italy's latest military parades
and maneuvers report noticeable
strengthening in Italy's armament
but have seen nothing 60 equa.
either British or American division
firepower.
These observers point out that
even under arms aid, the Italian
Army is still not getting America :
latest model jet fighters, tanks,
big BazookaS or automatic weap
onS.
The Defense Ministry, however
says conversion to these is rapid
ly under way"
II reports that by the start oi
1858, Italy will have 10 infantry
divisions, two Alpine brigades and
two armored divisions.
Foreign observers here say, how
ever, that only six or seven Of tn,
10 infantry divisions are actual,
10 infantry divisions are actually
up to NATO standard strength il

The ministry gives this com
parison:
The Italian infantry division hal
1871 individual arms, 734 collec
tive arms. 347 pieces of artillery
10 armored cars and l8 ligh
weapons carriers.
The United States division i
