Army Manpower Cut
To Bring Reductions
I In D. {. Area Forces
By John A. Giles

4
The more than II per cent re-
duction in Army manpower pro-
| posed in President Eisenhower
military budget for the next ifs
cal year will mean a cut of up to
per cent of the uniformed per-
sonnet in the District area.
ANY further radical change
| in this area would be very diff
cult unless we stopped perform
ing some of the services we now
perform, an official said today.
He said a reduction of about
10 per cent already had been
made over the last 10 months
after strong congressional criti-
ciSm of the so-called Chain
corps"
At the start of the trimming
process there were some 1000
officers and enlisted men in the
area. a large part of them in the
Pentagon.
installations to Close.
The cut in Army manpower
also will bring about the closing
OF several installations, some of
them large, throughout the
country.
A review of present facilities
will start at once so that some
of them may be shut down as
early as possible. The depart
ment estimates it costs $3.5 mil
lion to close a major installation
and put it in standby status.
This is because utilities must be
preserved, equipment must be
moved, etc.
Closing camps always brings
political complications with Con-
gresS members protesting any
changes in their States.
The Army already has closed
number of installations this
fiscal year and scheduled others
to be shut down. Seven of these
are replacement centers, and,
with a smaller army, several
others of this type likely will be
smut down.
Anti-aircraft to Increase.
Meanwhile, the Department
is going ahead with plans to
make a more than so per cent
increase in it's anti-aircraft bat
talionS. Most of the increase will
be in battalions equipped with
NIKE guided missiles which are
capable of shooting down enemy
planes at great distances.
Gen. Eisenhower also has an
nounced that two Army divisions
will be withdrawn from Korea
but which ones will be pulled
out has not yet been decided.
There is some speculation that
the 40th and 45th divisions will
be brought home because they
are National Guard outfits. The
40th is from California and the
45th from Oklahoma.
The Army also has the I'd, Sd,
7th and 18th divisions in Korea
along with most of it's oath In
fantry Division. The 1st Marine
Division also is in Korea.
The LIST Cavalry Division and
the Sd Marine Division along
with some elements of the oath
are in Japan.

Tough Policy Sooner
Was His Proposal,
Gen. Clark Writes
BY the Associated Pres,

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The
Korean war would have ended
sooner on better terms and with
less loss of life 'if we had got
tougher faster" Gen. Mark w.
Clark. former Far Eastern COM
mander, believes.
Gen. Clark retired from the
Army last October after 40 years
service. He discusses his IS
month command in Korea, cul-
minating with the signing of the
armistice last year. in three
part series. "The Truth About
Korea" starting in the current
Golfers magazine.
The armistice was fair, all
things considered he said. and
the alternative to 1t, an about
drive for victory. would have re-
ouired tens of thousands of ex-
ira troops and more planes and
ships, and would have cost
heavy casualties"
Gen. Clark's suggested tough
policy with the Reds would have
included a rapid build-up Of
South Korean forces, use of Chi
nese Nationalist troops and. in
the event of about war, drop
pino the atomic bomb.
"Some of these recommends
tions were not original with me. .
he said. but. at the time I made
them, America was far. better
prepared to call the tuYn than
in the early days of the war in
1880" y
Dodd Incident Described.
Gen. Clark tells of the behind
scenes uproar at Tokyo head
quarters when Communist pris-
oners on Koje Island rioted and
captured Brig. Gen. Francis T.
Dodd.
Clark had just arrived to take
over the U. N. command from
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway.
ITO me the news was outstand-
ing" Gen. Clark said. Right
then got the impression I was
walking into something remark
ably like a swinging door,"
After Gen. Dodd was released,
but before any details had been
made public. Gen. Clark said he
got a call from Gen. Ridgway
asking him to take over the COM
mand five hours earlier. thus
leaving Gen. Clark the job of
explaining the Koje affair.
MY honest preference was to
catch a plane myself and take
Off" Gen. Clark said.

amazed when board of off,

blame and commended his sue

ment implying the U. N. had

to denounce this agreement, OBJ
tanned while Gen. Dodd's life was
! in danger.
Gen. Clark found himself in
a crossfire from Washington
THE Pentagon sounded as
though it wanted some ones
head on pike" he commented.
| Gen. Clark said his investiga-
ton. which resulted in Gen.
Dodd's and Gen. Colson's being
broken in rank. dealt only with
the immediate circumstances of
Gen. Dodd's capture and release.
Did Not Go Deeper.
Il Informed the Department
OF the Army 1 did not feel it
within my sphere of command
or responsibility to dig deeper
into the lack of control that had
prevailed in the POW camps
/ during the previous eight
months" he said.
Control of the POWs was part
OF the job Of Gen. James A. Van
Fleet nater taken from him by
Gen. Clark and Gen. Clark said
that only two days before Gen.
Dodd's- capture. Gen. Ridgway
had warned Gen. Van Fleet that

Wilson Hits Fears
That Peace Means
Depression for u. 5.
., the Associated Pres.

NORFOLK. Va, Jan. o.
Secretary of Defense Wilson
spoke out against "men of little
faith" who he said seem to think
that the transition from a shoot
ing war to an uneasy peace will
take the Nation into a depres-
sion.
He said such men "seem con-
fused and appear to think that
blood-spilling and jobs are
synonomous-a terrible idea"
Mr.. Wilson addressed the
graduating class of the Armed
Forces Staff College here yester-
day. He said the United States
now has a powerful military
force to meet emergencies" and
that this power must remain at
a high level for the foreseeable
future.
Must Take Initiative.
He added that he believes the
ability to meet emergency meas
ures is not enough and that this
Nation must have a long-range
plan and be able ito take the
initiative if necessary"
Mr.. Wilson said that as our
relations with our allies improve
and our collective forces become
more effective I'VE can place
more reliability upon deterrent
power and less reliance upon
local defensive forces" He said
such a policy is the only way
maximum protection could be
achieved at a bearable cost in
men and money.
Stresses Maximum Use.
He added that some people fail
to recognize this problem and
cannot understand how effective
protection can be achieved with
out constant increases in mill
tary manpower, conventional air.
craft and ships. The realistic
answer. he said, lies in the max
imum use of new weapons and
new means of waging war.
Improvements in weapon ef-
fectivenesS are being developed
day-by day and our plans must
take them into account" Mr.
Wilson said in an obvious ref
erence to the new military policy
that stresses air power and new
weapons at some expense in the
total number of men under arms.
