Mr.. Wilson's Testimony

OSHdCOT OyHllIlSGOl SuUCOLIlLlllICcc
has established that there are differences
of opinion between Defense Secretary
Wilson and some Air Force generals. 1t
has not established that the adminiStra-
tons defense program has jeopardized,
or is jeopardizing, the security of the
United States
Perhaps it was inevitable that the
hearing would be inconclusive on this
point. For the answer to the essential
question depends on many things a
few facts, Interpretation Of facts, opin-
ions, an estimate of Russian intentions,
etc. It is an area in which honest men
can, and do, disagree.
The disagreement can largely be
summed up in two excerpts from the
testimony-one by General LeMay, chief
of the Strategic Air Command, and the
other by Secretary Wilson.
General LeMay: can only conclude
that they (RuSSia) will have greater strik-
ing power than we will have in the time
period Q955-60) under our present plans
and programs
Mr. Wilson: I think our strategic bomb
ing force should continue to be more power
and think we plan on keeping it that way.
Many other points of view we're ex-
amined during the hearing. But the basic
disagreement, in our opinion, comes down
to these two excerpts. Senator Syming-
ton plans to call a few additional wit
neSSeS, including the Air Force Chief of
Staff, General Twining, who is just back
from Russia We doubt, however, that
any def1nitive answers will be forthcom-
ing. 1t looks as though the public, in
this matter of the relative air strength
of the United States and Russia, will have
to pay its money and take its choice.
There is one other aspect of this
matter which might be mentioned. Sem
ator Symington has long been leader in
the fight for air power, and we do not
doubt that his concern for the American
position is genuine. Nor do we doubt that
he wanted to keep this investigation on
nonpartisan, nonpolitical basis. 1t can
hardly be said, however, that this OBJ
jective was attained.
Mr. Wilson, of course, is a contro-
versial figure. He has needleSsly antago-
nized a good many people, Senators in
cluded. Finally, he is not quick to confess
error, especially when he thinks that
hostile question is politically motivated.
Nevertheless, 1t seems to us that he
tried to be honest with the subcommittee.
Some of his answers were rambling and
unresponsive, but we have seen nothing
in the published transcript which sup
ports any belief that he was trying to
deceive or misrepresent, nor would such
intent be in keeping with his character.
In spite Of this he was handled pretty
roughly He was harasSed with questions
which had little or no bearing on the
ostenSible purpose of the investigation.
1t was suggested, by implication at least,
that he might not be telling the truth.
In our judgment, this sort of thing, COM
ing from Democrats on the committee
and particularly from Senator Jackson,
was uncalled for, improper and prejudi-
cial to the inquiry. Furthermore, 1t hardly
dispels the suspicion-this being an cleo
ton year-that partisan politics made
its presence felt in the hearing room.

Several flights down and a

secretary obligingly wrote my
