Push-Buiton Warfare
Era May Be Near,
Legion Leaders Told
Hinshuw Asks Review
Of Defense Problems in
Light of Atomic Age
By John A. Giles

The American Legion heard to-
day that the world may be enter
ing the era of true push-button
warfare.
Representative Hinshaw, Re-
publican, of California, made
the statement as he told the Le-
gions National Security Com
mission they should abandon
"indefensible mandates" of the
military regarding manpower
and also review the Nations i'm
migration laws and scientific
programs in the light of the
Atomic Age.
"Our stake in the atomic
future is too high" he said in
a speech cleared by the Atomic
Energy Commission.
Before America can have
genuine confidence in it's atomic
tomorrow there must be clearer
recognition of the individual, =
he asserted. 1--WE must make
more room for the development
of brains. We need less con-
formity, less sameness.
Review our manpower e r
policies" he said. BE critical
Of the demands of the military
on our Nations manpower. And
if you come up with different
answers to these questions i.
than you have reached in the
past, regard them as a challenge
and opportunity"
Legion Favors UNIT.
The Legion long has advocated
some form of universal military
training. National Comdr. Ar
thur j. Connell indicated yester-
day that strong drive for UNIT
will be one of the Lagion's pri-
mary aims next year to strength
en- the Nations defenses. He
made a strong plea to Congress
to act next year on UNIT pro-
gram in an annual report.
On the basis of "briefings" by
key Government officials, the
Legion commission will draft
resolutions to be presented to the
annual convention at the Ma
tional Guard Armory beginning
Monday.
The Legion had sent out an
advance announcement "antici-
pating" that the convention
would put accent on greater
overall military strength with
principal emphasis on a further
build-up of airpower.
But Mr.. Hinshaw, chairman
Of the Research and Develop
ment Subcommittee of the Joint
Congressional Committee on
Atomic Energy, appeared d
throughout his speech to take a
somewhat different view.
He said I'VE may be approach
ing the point where we can see
the end of the manned bomber,
and we may well be entering the
era Of true pushbutton warfare.
"A missile launched from one
continent will have the capability
of being unerringly directed to
target in another continent
and such missiles can carry war
heads capable of vast deStruc-
tive powers" Mr.. Hinshaw. long
one of Capitol Hills strongest
airpower advocates, asserted.

had put off for q months, were
in a turmoil of political intrigue
that could end in the downfall
of the two-month- regime of
Premier Pierre Mendes- France.
The Assembly was in session
over Tunisian and Moroccan
problems, but most of the Dep
uties were in the corridors talk
ing about EDO and the govern
ment's future.
Mr.. Coty returned to Paris
from vacation on the urging of
former Foreign Minister Georges
Bidault. a champion of EDO and
bitter foe of the present govern
ment. Mr.. Bidault urged that a
full discussion be held on possible
future policies before anything
final is done to reject EDO.
Rejection recommended.
These among the days top de-
velopments:
/. The Assembly of the French
Union, the top consultative body
for France and her overseas ter
ritories. recommended by d vote
of 100-65 that France reject the
six-nation European army plan
envisaged under EDO. While this
had no legal weight. the vote was
another indication that EDO will
have tough going in the National
Assembly.
2. A group OF pro-European
army ministers who had been
under heavy pressure TO resign
Immediately decided to stay on
q while longer. at least until
after the EDO vote. They
feared the pro-EDC elements in
the Assembly would have no
voice If the ministers resigned
now.
3. The Foreign Office an
nounced Communist Poland had
offered France an alliance
against Germany. A foreign Of
flee spokesman said the propos-
al-obviously timed to affect the
EDO debate-would be rejected.
Russia and her satellites have
been working desperately to de-
feat EDO.
Ministers Under Pressure.
The half dozen cabinet Minis
tiers supporting edo had been
under pressure from powerful
political forces to resign at once.
Three nti-EDC ministers, all
followers of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle, resigned two weeks ago
after Mr.. Mendes-France drew
up his revised version of EDO
which the five other European
army nations later turned down
at their Brussels conference.
The ultra-nationalist de Gaul-
lists resented their premier hav-
ing anything to do with EDO
In any version.
The pro-EDC ministers in
volved in the latest resignation
maneuver include Maurice
sBourges-Maunoury, industry and
commerce; Emile Hughes, JUS
tice; Guy la Chambre. Associat-
ed States (Indo-C -China), and
Guerin de Beaumont, secretary
of state for foreign affairs. All
are members of the Radical
Socialist (moderate) or Inde-
pendent Republican Parties.
Mr.. Mendes-France may ask
for the designations OF all his
ministers, with the date left
blank for the premier to fill in
If he needs to use them.
Through this device, the pre-
mier would avoid an open cabi-
net split on EDO and the minis
ters could vote individually ac-
cording to their wills. Normally
all members of the cabinet vote
as a body. but with this device
the premier would not have to
reconstruct his cabinet until
after the Assembly vote.
Great uncertainty reigned over
the probable outcome OF the
EDO debate. Mr.. MendeS- France
had warned the Brussels con-
ference that, unless his revisions
were accepted, the treaty was
