along a series of ravines. The
ravines help shield sections oi
the plant from each other.
One chemist was critically in

Mr.. Calderwood suffered multi

can last that long," he said,
summing up his hopes for
prompt consideration of plans
for the provision of a new sta
dium.
Suggestions Studied
He participated in an informal
conference arranged by Mr.. Nc
Leod to gather information on a
suggested stadium design pre-
Sented by Capt. E. H. Praeger
USNR, retired, who is a mem
ber of the New York architec-
tural firm of Praeger- -Kavanagh-
Waterbury of New York City.
Capt. Praeger showed a small
model of a circular type stadium
which could be used both for
football and baseball, as well as
other sporting events. 1t would
use a system of semicircular
seating sections that could be
moved on rubber tires to suit the
needs of baseball diamond or
a football field.
Mr.. Marshall was emphatic in
saying that he had no desire to
move the Redskins from WASH
ington. But he emphasized that
the time was at hand when
something had to be decided
about the stadium problem
While insisting that he wanted
to stay in Washington he said
there was a possibility that he
might have to go elsewhere and
then came up with another pos
sibility: That he might try to dc
something on his own to provide
a convenient playing space for
the Redskins.
Raises Eyebrows
He suggested that one possi-
bility might be the development
of a new stadium of 10000 to
10000 capacity where Redskins
games might be played at a price
of $40 a seat per game. When
eyebrows were slightly raised al
that idea, he said. "Why not?
think it could be done"
House Clerk Mcleod said he
was not undertaking to arrive al
any conclusion about anything
involved in the long-continuing
debate about a new stadium for

By JOHN A. GILES

The Army has proposed re-
ductionS in the strength of each
of its l9 divisions in a long
planned atomic-age reorganiza- :
ton of ground forces.
But an announcement last
night hastened to add: 1.-THE nu-
merical reduction in the division
strength does not result from
an overall reduction in the re-
quirements for military man.
power but reflects a redistribu-
ton of strength throughout the
combat zone."
Spokesman declined to elab-
crate. Present overall Army
strength is about one million.
Only the barest outline of the
sweeping reorganization of the
Army structure was given in the
announcement. The Army had
planned a detailed explanation.
! Informed sources said Presi-
dent Eisenhower ordered officials
to play down the publicity
when he Endorsed the principle of
the program. No explanation of
this decision was offered.
Called "PentOmic"
The announcement called the
new style setup "Pentomic. " This
is a combination of the Greek
work "Penta," meaning five-ele-
ment, and atomic.
The White House and Defense
Department were asked to ap-
prove the plan, which would
make 3.700-man reduction in
the 17.455 strength of an in
fantry division, a $500 cut in
the 17.100-man airborne division,
and "a minor" reduction in the
1864 strength of an armored
division.
To Be Completed Gradually
The plan would be started
during the coming year but
would require "a considerable
period" for completion.
There are IL infantry divi-
sions, three airborne divisions
and four armored outfits. One of
the airborne divisions, the 101.t
at Fort Campbell. KY. already
has been placed on this basis.
! Infantry divisions, beginning
early next year, are to be "frag-
mented" into a greater number
of units. That is, there will be
five combat groups" replacing
the present three regiments.
! The Army said the new struc-
Iture would raise "the combat
effectiveness of the Army by
exploiting to a maximum mod
ern technology for the improve
ment of flrepower. mobility and
control"
Thus there will be a greater
dispersal of troops on an atomic
battlefield to reduce Vulnerable
lity to enemy fire. rapid move
ment by small units by helicop-
ter and small aircraft.
Under Test Since 1854
Experiments with this new
divisional structure and opera
ton began early in 1854.
The announcement left un-
clear whether the size of Army
forces in Europe, where five di-
visions are now deployed as part
of NATO defenses. will be af-
Ifected.
