possibility which. II employed
without restriction. would prob
ably result In mutual destruc-
ton.
Under this situation Of re-
iative parity Of destructive cap
ability. Il would appear that the
most probable threat to US Is
m the small aggression. the linn
tied war, subversion. coup d'etat
and that sort Of thing. so. In
my opinion. having made ade-
auate provisions for . strong
atomic retaliatory force--as we
have - the free world should
concern itself very seriously
about its ability to resist the
situations short Of general war;
Here in observation-disclosures
form are important revelations
by the Army chief Of stan deal-
inc with the whole military as
pect since the advent Of Sput-
mix.
@. What is your feeling about
our ability at the present mo-
ment Of meeting the situation
short Of general war. as YOU put
Il?
A. I think we must spend
greater efforts In developing
those forces that are applicable
to the small war situation. Bear
IN mind that the nuclear bomb
often Is not the response to .
situation which presumably
arises in h friendly country
which we want to help. not
destroy. Hence. the flexible
strength Of Army type forces
has an important role 70 play
IN coping with that type Of sit
uation.
Strongest Peacetime Force
@. What Is our military posi-
ton today?
A. We have the strongest
forces we have ever had in time
Of peace. However. ! also have
to state the other side Of the
case, namely. that strength IS
relative. and we know that the
Soviet Union has expended ire
Inendous effort 10 make prog
ress in the military field. The
Russians have completely
equipped their ground forces.
extensive as they are. with new
equipment since World War II.
@. Would you be Q little more
specific in the type Of weapons
the Russians have re-eQuipped
their armies with?
A. They have q completely
new line Of tanks. new vehicles.
and new artillery - weapons
which we have not changed in
type since World War II In or
der to give US the. necessary
funds TO move forward in the
unconventional fields. ! have
no reason to believe that they
have not made comparable
progress In this unconventional
field parallel TO that which they
have made with conventional
weapons.
@. Let me ask again-haSn't
the Russian moon satellite ere

ated any revolutionary effect
50 far Is the military Il con-
eernedq
A. No revolution 80 far as I
can see.
q. why do you say that. sirP
A. Because the satellite In It.
self doesn't AFFECT the military
situation other than suggest
the progress made BY the So
siets in TIE missile field.
PROGRAM s;oinT Wen
@. What about the missile
program Of the Army7
A. Our missile program. al
the way across-the-board. I
would say is going well. 1t Is
on schedule. including the
Jupiter missile which we are
developing with the hope that
Il viii soon be operati0nal.
This missile would be used by
the Ar Force. under the pres
ent terms OF reference Of the
Department OF Defense. From
that i.500-mlle missile we have
q family OF missiles reaching
down 10 the short-range anti
tank dart. IN between these
two extremes. We have a large.
flexible family Of weapons. de-
signed to meet the Arfny's re-
quirements.
q. Can you point out in what
way has the Army q modern
aspect9
A. The fact that the Army Is
undergoing the greatest revo-
luton In organization and tao
tics in its history. Starting last
year, we began to reorganize
our divisions 70 make them
pentonaic In character so that
they are prepared 70 fight on
q modern battlefield. with or
without atomic weapons. This
dual capability gives them
dexibility. This reorganization
has required that we rewrite
all military texts. overhaul our
entire school system. reorient
our thoughts and also energize
our research and development
and our production program
to assure that these new divi-
sicns get the weapons required
for them under the new con-
ditions.
Revamping Nearly Complete
@. That is being done?
A. That's being done. BY the
end OF hscal year 1888 every
division viii be rorganized. We
win not have al the ideal equip
ment for them nov because we
see the requirements for num-
eruus types Of additional weap-
ons, vehicles equipment Of all
sorts which we now have laid
out either on the drawing
boards or actually have in de-
velopment hardware. However.
IN the matter Of two or three
years we win have this optimum
equipment. For the time being
I'VE are using interim types.

for which We flnht. 80 that Il Is
inevitable that the man on the

Q. Would you suggest q good
example Of what YOU mean d
the case Of the atomic bomb
ION hiroshima Fastening the
END Of the war with Japan, but
1.-THE Army was still needed 70
mop up the situationi
A. Yes. we still had TO close
with the enemy and take the
surrender Of the remnants
which remained. Hence. In the
general atomic war for which
| we (havel to make provision.
Inevitably there must be some
men left on the ground 70
gather the fruits OF vlctOry-if
lany fruits remain.
Accent on MOBILITY
q. What about the speed with
which the Army can move?
A. / would like 10 comment
on the mobility problem Of the
Army. We are very much aware
of the fact that these new
divisions. streamlined as they
are and with atomic-capabie
weapons, viii have little value
In they cannot move rapidly,
For that reason we are stress
ling the Importance Of strategic
and tactical mobility.
For strategic mobility we look
TO the. Navy and Air Force 70
give Us fast ships and fast
planes and we are prepared "a
use them as rapidly as they
become available 10 US. on
the battlefield we are looking
10 our research and develop
ment experts TO produce better
and faster means Of transport
ION the road. across country and
lin the air.
In the air we are developing
our own army aviation. which
doesn't compete with the Air
Force. but gives US aerial We
Ihicles that can lift the troops
on the battlefield and thus al
lows US to move men. supplies
and equipment rapidly ~
fixed-wing aircraft and hell
Icopters. The Army mukt move
fast In order TO conform with
the compressed time require
lment Of modern warfare. and
we are making every effort e
improve our capability In THU
field.
I O. I would like TO get back
to the Russian satellite. Hai
our intelligence setup failed u
in not knowing in advances
about the launching Of the
satellite by the Russians? There
is some criticism today thai
our intelligence has under
estimated the Russians in THU
! field.
i A. / would be inclined TO de-
fend our intelligence people
Obviously. We can ask them
questions for which they dom
have answers. but ! would moi
say that We have been partlcu'

fact that the Russians were

has been known.
q. How much does the Army
Interest itself IN getting 81 the

A. we interest ourselves very
considerably, and of course, the

and development field 4 4 sig

Iterest. For example. the Army

Army Not Out moded
! q. one last question about
the role Of the Army---hasn't it
been outmoded BY pushbutton
war?
A. or course not. I couldn't
disagree more. The more ] re-
fleet upon the military require
ments OF the present and the
future. the more / am Inn
Ipressed with the fact that We
lcan deter q war or win Q war
lonly by team effort on the part
lof the Army. Navy. and Air
Force. The Army has an In
Indispensable role In preventing
war through It's divisions de-
lployed In Europe and the Far
East and through its strategic
RESERVE in the United States
lready to respond TO any MILF
ltary situation. Without these
Army forces we would be de-
pendent only upon weapons Of
great destruction. many OF
which are not applicable 20
specific situations. We must
have q wide spectrum Of reac-
Ition available 10 the United
states. varying from the adj
lmonitory whistle Of the MILF
Itary policeman to the multiki-
lotion explosion Of the Army'I
heavyweight weapons-all Of
which are very important In
giving fiexibility TO our reac-
ltiOns.
So, In summary. / would say
there Is an indispensable role
for the Army in the cold war
the period In which We nov
live, IN situations short Of gen.
eral war. and also in the great
atomic war. n ever such q con-
fiict were thrust upon US.

TIME-THE VITAL DIMENSION

Ability Of the United States to defend
itself against attack. and to retaliate
against an AGGRESSION. are both vitality
dependent on time. Every hour, every
minute, every second of advance warn
ing time is precious.
Our vast Continental Air Defense sys-
tenn, our powerful Strategic Air Com
mand, our mighty fleets, and worldwide
retaliatory striking forces all depend on

which tall somewhat short Of
the ultimate goal.
@. Has there been any indi-
cation that the Russians are
using any atomic weapons with
their army9
A. We are assuming they are
working at that sort Of thing.
@. What about atomic weap-
ons for our Armyq Can YOU say
anything about them?
A. We are equipping our
selves. down to the divisions,
with atomic-capable weapons.
Thus. the division commander
will have a destructive capable
ity on the battlefield that far
exceeds the dream Of any COM
mander in the past.
@. We have had an atomic
cannon. haven't we?
A. Well. Of course. we have
had the 28O-mm cannon which
was our first atomic-capable
weapon. We are replacing Il BY
better. lighter. more flexible
weapons. and Il win pass out
In the not too distant future be-
cause we will have better weap-
ons to do the job for which II
was designed.
Ground Forces Vital
@. Is the impression held In
some circles wrong that the
Army has been relegated TO Z
minor and not very important
role?
A. In the last analysis. w
believe It has been the men on
the ground who win--that In
the past the measure Of victory
has been in the location Of tho
Army's front line. ] see littls
chance OF change in the future
@. win you develop that fur.

A. Well. ! think II is an his
torical fact that people in thu

somewhat different than thu

skilled and semi-skilled worker.
These are men and women who
have been educated TO the use
Of credit. who see nothing
wrong about the fact that
they're never completely out
of debt.
,Are we now going over our
heads in debt?
Question Academic
To me, that question is rather
academic as long as there are
no direct controls TO stop us
from buying on credit and as
long as businessmen urge US to
use installment buying freely.
And on the comforting side is
the fact that our repayment
record has been superb. we
show no sings Of going of on
another borrowing splurge. and
while millions are borrowing,
millions are also saving big
chunks.
To me. the more pertinent
question Is what would happen
to our jobs, paychecks and the
country as a whole II we sud-
denly did pull back and really
slashed our borrowing -to-buy.
In that case, the auto industry
would collapse. the appliance
industry would shrivel, the
furniture industry would crash
Joblessness would soar, bank
ruptcies would skyrocket. Wed
be in dreadful trouble.
There is no parallel to the
credit" way OF life we have
created, and thus worries about
it are understandable. But
those who long for a return to
the good old days-when the
vast majority Of Americans
lived within their incomes or
tried to--long for q past 10
which we can never go back
again.

stallment debts will reach the
highest levels ever.
After Christmas installment
debts will be far above $33 bill
lion. dwarfing every previous
year-end total, 81 to IS billion
ahead of 1856.
While we'll be repaying the
installment debts we already
have at a rate of more than So
billion a month-the highest
repayment rate Of all time TOO
there seems no doubt that the
new debt we take on will exceed
the old debt we pay of. and in
coming months the total OF our
personal debts will smash all
records.
Reasons Obvious
The reason for this uptrend
aren't difhcult to pinpoint.
The fall and pre-Christmas
season is a period when we al
ways build UP our debts. and
assuming we're not about to
plunge into a depression. there's
no basis for thinking we'll
change our habits.
And incomes are still rising
The families which most fire.
quently buy on the cuff are in
the $4,000-$7. 500 bracket. In
this middle-income group. three
out of five have installment
debts. and the reason so many
have debts is that they couldn't
approach the standards on
which they live today unless
they bought on time.
The biggest buyers on credit
are younger, married families.
In the 1874 age group, nearly
seven out Of 10 families with
children under six have per-
sonal debts.

uses credit most often Is the
