Nixon Fund Now Dead,

WHEELING, w. Va, Sept. 26.--
A spokesman for Senator Nixon

caused such furor in the presi-
dental campaign is now dead.
In answer to a reporters in

fund for the vice presidential
campaign. but he declined it,"
The spokesman said about $11,,-
900 had been contributed to Sen
ator NiXon's campaign for vice
president by about the same group
that provided the earlier money.
He said the Senator is not going to
use it and it still is in the hands
of Dana Smith of Pasadena. Calf,
trustee for the Senatorial fund.
The Spokesmen also was asked
if Senator Nixon would start
another fund should he find his
pay and expense account as vice
president were not enough to
cover his activities.
The spokesman replied:
In view of the Senator's clearly
defined position, there is no need

Must Face Issue of
Security With SoIvency

Against this background we
must face the overriding issue
of security with solvency. We
must analyze the details of that
issue specifically. straight-for-
wardly and promptly. For next
November, the American people
are electing leaders not for just
another ordinary term, but for
years of decisive destiny.
The critical fact we must face
is this: The cost of security to-
day amounts to IS per cent of
our enormous National budget.
This means high taxes. Beyond
this. the Administration finds
in this fact it's alibi for it's inf1a-
ton and deficits and for the
strain put upon our whole
economy.
Can this burden be lightened
without endangering National
security?
A Democratic Administration,
stale and self satisfied from
being too long in power. COM
placently says: No, nothing can
be done.
That is not an American
answer. Our Answer is: Yes,
much can be done.
Let us begin with the funda-
mentals of the budget. Out of
the $50 billion our Government
is spending this year, a few
items like the $6 billion for in
terest on the National debt can't
be reduced. From the other
$14 billion for non-defense pur-
poses, real savings can be made
by the employment of business
like practices in a clean admin
iStration.
But the big spending is, of
course. the $50 billion we pay
for national security. Here is
where the largest savings can
be made. And these savings
must be made without reduc-
ton Of defensive power. That
is exactly what I am now pro-
posing. To accomplish this will
require the help of civilian
leaders - business, labor and
profesSional-who really know
Evening star., 1952-09-26

Of imitation, so I say Of our de-
tense program: I do not recite
this list of failures with any
partisan pleasure. I cite them
because they are failures too
long hidden from the public. I
cite them also because the next
administration must promptly
begin setting things right.
Our defense planning for the
next four years will demand the
best that is in us. The great and
continuing struggle of the world
today comedies in history with
real revolution in weapons and
ways of defense. We are all
even the most professional SOL
dier-somewhat awed by the
facts before US. We all know
the catalogue of wonders science
has lately written: Atomic en-
ergy, guided missiles, jet trans
portation spanning the world in
magnificent contempt Of noun
tainS. seas and deserts.
No less sobering is the realiza-
ton that those awesome weapons
can be welded by some of the
least skilled peoples of the
world. The peoples Of Asia in
a short time have learned the
difference between the oxcart
and the airplane., Our jet pilots
in Korea find nothing 'back-
ward" in the skill of Chinese
pilots-if indeed they are all
Chinese pilots-flying their
MICS into combat at speeds al
most as fast as sound itself.

No Magic Formula for
Security and SoIvency

There is no slick slogan, no
magic formula, to give us the
combination we need-security
and solvency. But intelligence
and determination can show us
the way. My sober conviction
is that action along the lines !
have indicated, in the absence
of radical change in world con-
ditions, will soon begin to re-
duce expenditures and eliminate
the Federal deficit. This is a
first step toward tax reduction.
The program I have outlined
demands skilled and purposeful
leadership. It demands har-
mony and understanding be-
tween the executive and legis-
lative branches of our Govern
ment. It will demand an end
to what the Senate Prepared
ness Subcommittee has called

attempt this would create more
difficulty and injustice than
now exists.
My second proposal relates to
the National Security Council.
This body is charged by law
with high-level planning for the
security Of the Nation. We have
seen how that planning has
failed time and again these last
years. The failure of this agency
to do the job for which it was
set up-to make the right plans
in time-produces waste on the
grand scale. / believe that mem
bership in the National Security
Council should not be limited to
Cabinet officers and heads of ad-
ministrative agencies. These men
are already burdened by the
duties Of their own Offices. The
National Security Council, as
presently constituted, is more a
shadow agency than a really
effective policy maker. That, I
believe. can be corrected by ap-
pointing to it civilians of the
highest capacity, integrity and
dedication to public service.
They should have no other off,
cial duties. # the principle of
rotation were applied to the
citizens filling these posts, a
fresh point of view would be
constantly brought to the coun-
ellis deliberations. Thus, we
would help transform this
agency from shadow to sub
stance.

The mandate of such q COM

Our recruiting for the armed

We must never again be caught

But it seems clear that so long

other parts Of the defense
program.
This brings us to the Su-
premely important matter of
unif1cation Of the armed forces.
When I became Chief Of Staif.
upon my return from Europe in
November Of l945. / felt that
all our war experience had rem
dered obsolete the deefnse or
ganization then existing. I was
convinced then, as ] am today,
that effective coordination of
the services in war requires
central planning in time Of
peace. This is the essence Of
unity in the armed forces. That
unity must also extend to the
procurement and administra-
ton Of all the costly material
and paraphenalia of modern
warfare. It was the hope and
expectation of all of us who
had worked to achieve the pas
sage of the National Defense
Act Of 1947, that this kind of
unity was in the making.
This has not proved to be the
case. Such unity as we have
achieved is too much form and
too little substance. We have
continued with loose way of
operating that wastes time.
money and talent with equal
generosity. With three services,
in place of the former two, still
going their separate ways and
with an overall defense staff
frequently unable to enforce cor
rective action, the end result
has been not to remove dupli-
cation but to replace it with
triplication.
All this must be brought to
as swift an end as possible.
Neither our security nor our
solvency can permit such a way
Of conducting the crucial busi-
ness Of national defense.
Our task. however, goes still
further than this. We must
critically review the political
policies governing our military
program; and we must review
that military program itself in
all its significant details. To
this end I now make two major
proposals.
The first is this: At the earli-
est possible date next year, the
new Administration should Gre
ate a commission of the most
capable civilians in our land to
restudy the operations of our
Department of Defense. These
men and women should, of
course, be specifically qualified
for their tasks. They should, I
believe, be drawn from both
parties, so that all matters of
national security may clearly be
placed beyond party politics.
These men and women should
be assisted by the ablest officers
available from all services-Air
Force. Army, Navy and the
Marine Corps.

Critical of Lack of
Imagination, Firnness

A large part of what I will
have to say tonight is essentially
critical, although I hope con-
structively critical. BY this
criticism I do not intend to be-
little the abilities and devotion
Of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and
the other thousands of men and
women in uniform and in civ
ilian clothes in our Defense De-
partment. They are among the
best, if not the best, of their
kind in the world. What do
mean to criticize is routine in
planning and operation, failure
to establish clean-cut line of
authority, and failure in pre-
paratory work to combine indus
trial and military leadership.
Finally, I mean to criticize lack
OF imagination and firmness in
the overall political direction
which guides all security PLAN
ling.
Some of our trouble has Moth
ing to do with the politics Of the
present. We have never been a
military minded people. In
time of peace, we have always
cut the military establishment
to the bone, then to the marrow.
In time Of war, we have said.
''let the professional soldier take
care Of it." This attitude has
encouraged the military, accus-
toned to famine or feast, to try
to take advantage of crisis. Re-
sulting frenZied expansion has
meant disorder and duplication
and waste. It has meant an at
tempt by our air force to buy
10000 super de luxe desk chairs
at SO above the standard model.
1t has meant our Navy laying in
50-year supply Of anchors all
at once. It has meant our Army
buying enough front-axle gas
kets for jeeps to last a full CEN
tury.
This pattern has been bad
enough in the past. In today's
world of continuing tension, it
is intolerable. For we no longer
have clear. precise lines between
a time of peace and a time of
war. We have to live and work
and plan in a twilight zone be-
tween the two. Complexity
creates confusion everywhere.
Generals who used to be trained
to concentrate on military deci-
sions feel compelled to consider
economic factors. Those civilians
who should exercise authority
in military matters feel hesitant
because of their lack Of special
lied knowledge and experience.
In threatened emergency, Con-
gresS is reluctant to question the
demands of the military. When
no emergency threatens, the en-
tire subject is sadly neglected.
And so there is shadow-boxing
with the problems that crowd
our twilight existence.

ay the A.saeiafad Pres.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 26.-Fol-
lo,Cing Is the tert of an address
prepared By Gen. Eisenhower
for deliUery last night at a Re-
publican rally here:
I want to talk with you to-
night about the defense of our
country. I want to talk with
you about getting the most de-
fense at less cost with least
delay.
Our peoples need for a stout
defense is beyond debate.
I pledge to you here and to
you in your homes everywhere
that we who are engaged in this
crusade for good government
will see to it that America is
safe.
The real problem is to build
this defense with wisdom and
efficiency. We must achieve
both security and solvency. In
fact. the foundation of military
strength is economic strength.
A bankrupt America is more the
Soviet goal than an America
conquered on the field of battle.
Public debate on this subject
above all others must be candid
and fair. The 156 million Amer
leans whose lives and livelihood
are at stake are entitled to and
must have the plain truth. I
propose to give it to them.
Here are the three personal
convictions that I hold to be
true:
First, our defense program
has suffered from lack of far
sighted direction. Second, real
unification Of our armed forces
is yet to be achieved. Third,
our defense program need not
and must not push us steadily
toward economic collapse,

in the military service Of my
country can help bring security
with solvency to my fellow citi-
zens. I am yours to command.

OF this caliber, the problems of
the Defense Department and of
our other departments and
agencies can, I believe, be
brought under control.
Just let me give you one ex-
ample of the kind of thing that
Americans want changed. The
bullgling involved in the crea-
tion Of our Morocco air bases.
We need bases in Morocco.
We have needed them ever since
the Soviet Union made clear
that it had no intention of
letting the world return to real
peace for long, long time.
To build bases of this type.
economically, takes two to three
years.
What did we do? We did not
start on these bases at the time
Soviet intentions became clear.
We waited until 1851, six
months after the war in Korea
broke out. After all this foot
dragging, the Administration
then insisted on a crash pro-
gram"-get it done fast, what
ever the cost. The result is
this: We got two bases for the
cost of five.
This instance is a symptom of
deep, continuing failure: Fail
ure to harness military plans
to a coherent political program.
AS a consequence, our defense
planning has swung full circle
through all the complexities Of
rehabilitation back through the
costs, the waste and the human
confusion of partial remobiliza-
ton.
The running warfare between
Congress and the White House
has made such blundering even
more costly to us Americans.
Both must share mutual conf
dence and common purpose.
The cooperation must be
sparked by executive leadership.

To meet the challenge Of

everything in every field all of

CiviIion Superiors
Sometimes By-Pussed

We have had little of such
leadership. Special interests in
the armed services have repeat
edly been carrying their appeals
to CongreSS-SometimeS without
knowledge of any of their civil
ian superiors. Supplemental ap-
preparations by Congress have
been vetoed, passed over a veto,
and sometimes held back by the
President. Service disagreements
have become public brawls.
This. is not a partisan judg-
ment. Our failures have been
painstakingly documented in
! the reports of the Senate Pre-
paredness Subcommittee, head
ed by a Democrat. Speaking
only of the buildup of our Air
Forces, that subcommittee
summed it up just three weeks
ago in these words: "A saga of
bad programming, neglected
warnings, lack of coordination,
abuse, misuse and disuSe Of

our practice in the past. We
Americans are inclined to con-
fuse the biggest, most complt-
Gated and most durable with
the best. Whereas in war, the
simple and expandable weapon,
may, in the light of time and
production facilities, be the most

same today.
Modern war teaches one
sure lesson that today's best
weapon is out of date tomorrow.
The progress of science warns
against putting too much conf
dence into today's best weapon
for soon it may be obsolete.
Third: More civilian personnel
and direction must be called
into the weapons production
program. In this field again it
is impossible for the professional
to make the exclusive judgment.
The interplay of labor, tax,
production and economic factors
requires a pooling of expert
civilian advice.
