1t all seems something

It is as simple as the Presi-

better of for talent both In

But they share with Repub-

BROWN
Senators Await Armed Forces Outline
OF missiles and Defense Needs

The armed forces will have
the opportunity TO tell Of
Americas preparedness in
conventional and noncon-
ventional weapons when the
Senate Preparedness Sub
committee meets next Friday.
1t is expected that the
Chairman Of the Joint Chiefs
Of STAFF and his colleagues
representing the Army. Navy
and Air Force will be able to
tell frankly of both the
quality and drawbacks Of our
conventional forces.
While it Is obvious that
much money and energy
must go into perfecting
American rocketry and de-
veloping antimissile weap-
ons, considerable funds also
will be needed TO improve the
conventional forces. Other
wise. 1t is said. we may wake
up to the unpleasant sur
prise that the USSR is far
ahead Of us in this field.
The Navy and Air Force
are the main concerns OF the
legislators. For, II there is
another war-even a fringe
war--it is. essential that we
control the sea and air. This
will require probably as much
money as the intended (but
still in the blueprints) crash
program for guided missiles
and antidotes.
II has been established
that at least $50 submarines
have been added to the Red
navy In the last 10 years.
Some are the now obsolete
snorkel type. But 1t is be-
lieyed that from so to 100
of the most recent are
capable Of launching guided
missiles ranging 500 miles.
There are. as yet upcon-
flrmed. reports that the So
VETS also have a number of
atomic subs. Whether this is
true or not is relatively UNI

lays in much improved radar.
Unless a crash program is
ordered by the administra-
ton there is a serious risk
that the Jump the Russians
have ahead Of us may seri-
ously damage our defense at
home and in our stations
abroad.
Push-button war is not yet
an actually, but is some
thing for the years to come.
1t may not materialize in a
practical manner for five or
10 years. The Soviet agrees
siveness is something which
is actual. 1t depends exclu-
sively on the mood and tenn
per Of one man - Comrade
Khrushchev-Who may avoid
locking horns with us directly
but may order some brush
fires in the Middle East or
Far East. This brings up
the condition Of our ground
forces. We do not contem-
plate matching the Soviet
Union in divisions. The dis
parity between the two coun-
tries is too great. We have 10
divisions streWn practically
all over the world. The Rus
slams have ITS in their home
land alone. This disparity Is
Offset TO some extent by the
existence Of strong Turkish,
Chinese and ROK ground
forces in threatened areas.
What these more than so
combat-readv divisions need
is modern firepower and air
support The Army is giving
most Of them second -class
hardware because the latest
types are supplied to our own
troops and those Of our allies
in Western Europe-the least
threatened area.
According TO available
authentic reports. the Soviet
tanks, mortars and artillery
are superior to what our own
ground forces possess. They
are far superior to those Of
our allies on the periphery Of
the Communists.

important. The important
thing is that we must exert
every effort to maintain free
dom Of the seas. This will re-
quire a minimum of 80 to 100
atomic submarines of an i'm
proved type from those we
now have in operation or
under construction.
1t also is essential. in order
TO ward of the Red threat
on the high seas. TO increase
as Hapidly as possible the
number Of guided missile
surface ships as well as of
the submarine killers.
Control Of the high seas is
essential. according to mill
tary experts. regardless Of the
Soviet advances in technol-
ogy. All these essentials will
require heavy additional
funds. well above the present
estimates. The cost Of a
submarine capable Of launch
ing missiles is estimated at
between $45 and $50 million
The larger missile surface
ships are about twice as ex.

question that instead Of re-
ducing the naval personnel,

rent budget, additional man.
power will be needed for these
new constructions.
The cost Of an improved
Air Force is expected to be
even higher. New types Of
jet bombers and fighters are
essential to excel the Rus

cut in the Air Force appro-
priation has harmed that de-

looking at the whole sit

determine what Is going TO
be done in the following
hypothetical cases:
1. The Communists may
notify the NATO countries
in Europe that they will not
be attacked II they agree not
to let the United States use
overseas bases. Will some
of the NATO members then
agree to a sort Of passive
neutrality in the crisis?
2. II the United States is
directly attacked and the
other NATO countries are
not attacked. will the Euro
pean members Of NATO agree
to permit instant retaliation
anyway from their bases by
American bomhers and mis-
siles?
3. II the FIRST blow" is
struck by the Communists
and several big cities in
America are destroyed stimuli
taneously and our own bases
in this country have been
seriously crippled. then does
the United States alone
retaliate with what military
strength 1t has left and.
meanwhile. do the NATO
countries debate the issue
while the Soviet bombers are
raining bombs on American
cities2
II has been contended by
American military men that
the damage which the mis-
sileS and bombers Of the
United States can infiict
from our overseas bases
would be so expensive
that the Soviets would not
dare to risk an attack on
America. But this preSup-
poses a smooth-working
retaliatory operation with
he fullest cooperation in

tries. Can this be guaran-
