High Command

NEW BROOMS have swept clean
~ on occasion, but never so
clean as the Republican broom
swept last week through the Pen
tagon. When the dust settled,
the Defense Department had
completely new military high
command.
1t was just what Senator Taft
wanted. The Senate majority leader
had been critical of the Truman
appointed Joint Chiefs of Staff
headed by General of the Army
Omar N. Bradley. 1t would be best,
Senator Taft had said, to clean
out the jos and get new one.
Three-fourths of the opportunity
was ready-made for President Eli
senhower. The terms of the JCS
chairman and the Army and Air
Force Chiefs of Staff were about
to expire anyway. Only the Chief
of Naval Operations had a long
time to go on his tour of duty.
So when a new jos was ap-
pointed-in the period beginning
a week ago last Thursday and
ending last Tuesday-the question
arose whether 1t was a genuine
shakeup. Some impartial students
of military affairs said 1t was not.
Still, the removal Of the Chief Of

Cold War

DRITAIN'S Prime Minister, with
ID typical Churchillian under
statement, told the House of Com
mons last week:
my knowledge, such at it is, is
not mainly derived from books or
documents about foreign affairs,
but through living through them
for a long time"
Thus he lay the foundation for
a proposal to have another go at
the kind of personal diplomacy
that he, President Roosevelt and
Marshal Stain used on one an
other through World War II. He
went on to suggest his favorite
brand of negotiation could ease
or perhaps solve the worlds
cold-war problems. Mr.. Churchill
wanted a conference ION the high
est level" among "the smallest
number of persons and powers
possible"
Certainly no harm could come
from a top-level talk, he said,
and some agreements might be
reached. Red peace talk made
this the time auspicious, he said.
Non-Aeeression Poet
The Prime Minister indicated
such a conference might discuss
some kind of non-aggression pact
between the big blocs. Mr.. Church.
i'll also indicated that the latest
Red offer in Korea was worth a
close study.
His British listeners liked what
they heard. Sir Winston certainly
was at his best in an informal,
face-to-face meeting of world lead
ers, and it looked to the House
of Commons like an opportunity
to cut through the exasperating,
contradictory talk heard from the

Review Of The Week. Defense Cuts Tip New Strategy

A NY LINGERING DOUBT about
IN Gen. Eisenhower's transforma-
ton from a military man into a
civilian should have been dispelled
last week. Through his big busi-
nesSman Secretary of Defense
Charles E. Wilson, the President
proposed that we increase the risk
that we might lose the next war
If it comes-in order to cut taxes
sooner and thus improve the Ma
tion's economic position.
That was the generally accepted
Interpretation of Secretary Will
sons explanation last Monday
afternoon of his plan to reduce
fiscal year 1854 defense appropria-
ton requests by $5.4 billion and to
cut fiscal 1854 spending by $2.3
billion.
That Mr.. Wilson suggested In
creaSing our military risk was not
admitted by the Secretary. He
claimed to have found a way to
economic while augmenting our
military strength.
There was much salt taken with
Mr.. Wilson's claim. Most stu
dents of the problem saw the Sec
retary on the horns of Shylock's
dilemma: That much flesh simply
could not be cut off without draw
Ing blood.
AS is so often the case, Mr.. Will
son and his protagonists probably
were talking about different things.
The Secretary merely claimed he
would continue to increase military
strength from what 1t actually Is
now. His critics pointed out that
he really was cutting back again
the target level of military strength
planned and believed necessary by
the previous administrator to stop
Russia. Mr.. Wilson very precisely
skirted any denial of this criticism.
Gen. Omar Bradley, the outgoing
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, tried hard to be a good
soldier about the new economy
wave. But his apprehension
showed through.
He has repeatedly warned that
the Soviets aren't letting up. I'VE
believe that their atomic capability
is rapidly improving" he told a
congressional committee recently.
1t was what the military called a
calculated risk" The President
had taken such risks before, as a
military man. And his successes,
like Normandy, outnumbered his
wrong guesses, like the Ardennes.

ton program. It already has de-
cided to abandon a $46-million
strategic bombing base planned for
Portsmouth -Newington, N. H., and
$11O million worth of construction
projects at II other air bases.
. Increasing emphasis on home
defense was apparent as the Army
started building up sites from
which anti-aircraft battalion S
could protect our cities and stra-
logically important areas. The
Nike" guided missile will be fired
from these sites in event of at
tack. Anti-aircraft battalions will
be increased in number from 113
to lit by June 80, 1854.
Change in Timing
At the root of the revised strategy
for defense and offense was the
previously announced plan to
change the timing of the build-up.
The concept had been that 1854
would be the year of crisis and that
therefore our defense should be
pointed toward that danger period.
This theory was based on the esti-
mate that Russia will have over
come our atomic superiority enough
to attack us by that time. This
estimate of Soviet capabilities has
not been repudiated. But the new
attitude is that the United States
must settle down to the long pull,
measured in decades.
Against this background of
changing strategy, Mr.. Wilson in.
dicated that his efforts to get on
with the Republican economy
movement were taking definite
shape.

ming in combat forces, the $1,000
expendable sailors will have to
come from the 344, 900 men now in
shore stations and training opera
tions. The Marines would keep
their three divisions and three air
wings, but would get more modern
equipment. Their personnel would
be cut $4,000, again in nom combat
spots.
Air Force. The number of wings
would be increased from 1O3 to
ia. Personnel would be cut only
10000.
Civilian manpOwer. Non military
employees of the Defense Depart
lnent would be cut from the 1,271,.
600 who were around when Mr..
Wilson came into Office to an un-
specified number below the 1,243,-
600 who are left now. This reduc-
tion to date has been accompanied
almost entirely by not rehiring
when jobs were vacated.
In addition, Mr.. Wilson indicated
that facilities, the mobilization
base, and soft goods procurement
all would be cut back. On the other
hand, he has plans to increase the
acquisition of hard goods.
But after all the new Defense
Secretary's explaining - and he
did it in much more detail than
appears here-the $64 question had
not been answered. That was: Will
our rate of increase in military
strength be rapid enough to offset
RusSia's?
1t is now up to Congress to get
as clear an answer to that peren-
nial, "iffy" question as possible.
President Eisenhower may throw
some light on the problem Tues
day night, in his special radio
address.

who then, as now, commanded in
the Pacific. Apparently the ad-
miral convinced them that their
ideas and his on defense, and par
ticularly on Asia, coincided.
But that explanation was small
consolation to the Air Force. And
the revelation that the so-called
key West agreement" of 1949
would be re-examined was gall to
the airmen. This agreement, cooked
up after the B-36 squabble, as
signed missions to the various
arms. 1t gave the Air Force
authority over long-range strategic
operations-a decision that sat
badly with air admirals like Rad
ford.
On top of all this, there was
Reorganization Plan No. 6, sched-
uled to take effect late next month
unless Congress forbids, which
Congress almost certainly will not.
This plan will concentrate more
power in the hands of the Secre-
tary of Defense than ever before,
but it also will beef up the potency
of the jos Craftsmanship. To date,
the head of the jos has been
hardly much more than moderator
of an exclusive debating society.
Under Plan he will be boss.
It was a black week for the Air
Force.

Foreign

THERE is an old saying that 1t
l. is not polite to talk about rope
in the home of a man who has
just been hanged. Similarly, there
was some question whether Presi-
dent Eisenhower's gift to Egyptian
Premier Naguib was in the most
fortunate of taste. Using Secretary
Of State John Foster Dulles as gift
bearer, Gen. Eisenhower sent Gen.
Naguib brand-new pistol. Just
about that time, as it turned out,
the Egyptians had been using such
firearms to bang away at the
soldiers of Americas ally, Britain.
Mr.. Dulles. in the first leg Of his
Middle Eastern tour, found himself
In the middle of a dangerous quar-
rel, the anatomy of which is dis
cussed by Crosby S. Noyes on

and Egypt over the future of the
Suez Canal Zone had broken down.
Armed Egyptians and Englishmen
clashed repeatedly while officials
in both countries talked war.
1922 ond 1896 Pocts
The dispute goes back to World
War I when Egypt, which had been
controlled by Turkey, was made a
protectorate of Britain. Egypt was
given neutrality-suspicious. in 1922,
Britain retaining control of Egyp-
tian defense. In 1886, when Egypt
was frightened by Mussolini's ag-
gression in Ethiopia, she signed a
20-year pact with Britain defining
generously the Crowns rights in
the canal zone.

States, France and Turkey sug-
gested that the pact be set aside

AngIo-U. S. Spot

While allied leaders looked seri-
ously for solutions to the intricate
and dangerous cold-war problems,
a few politicians in Britain and
the United States found time to
hurl transatlantic insults.
Spokesman for the British fac
ton was Clement Attlee, the usually
mild leader of the Labor Party. The
case for the American disputants
was handled by Senator Mccarthy,
the established local master of
invective.
Mr.. Attlee led of in the House
of Commons when he rose to de-
liver the official opposition blast
at the Churchill policy speech. The
difficulty was, however, that Mr..
Attlee agreed with almost every
thing the Prime Minister had said.
Motter Of Technique
OF course, Mr.. Attlee could have
failed the Russians for creating
our cold-war troubles. But in
Commons, as in Congress, it is not
the custom to blame the Soviets
for something that could be laid
to more political profit, at the
doorstep of some friend with whom
you disagree. So the leader of
Her Majesty's loyal opposition
vented his evaporation on the
United States.
Everything would be right with
the world, Mr.. Attlee implied, II
America would only get rid Of:
. The Constitution.
Warmongers.
. Mccarthy.
The American Constitution, he
said, was inherently isolationist.
Mr.. Attlee explained how an Ameri-
can President could be a right
thinker but could be stymied by
thinkers in Congress. The
Executive, he said, is not master
in its own house. Furthermore,
there are Americans who do not
want the fighting to stop in the
Far East. And the evil genius
behind it all and the man who
holds the President captive Is
