HERE'S THE CATS MEOW AT NATO

are sure the Reds do not want
to risk a massive war.
A count of Communist men,
planes and ships shows that the
free world is badly outnum-
bered in the Far East. Intelli-
gence estimates within the Pa
cif1c Command vary on Red
strength, depending on whose
Co. you ask. But the boss of
the command. Admiral Harry
D. Felt. says that grand totals
don't mean anything in the
Pacific.
What counts, he says, is
what the Communists and the
free world can bring to bear
at any given point. The Reds
are rather inflexible in their
military movements as their
lcgistics. communications and
network of bases is not highly
developed. But the Pacific
Command can shift its strength
rapidly to any pressure point.
Outnumbered 2 tOl
But even with this advan-
tage. the command can expect
to be outnumbered, easily two
to one at any spot, in men.
planes and submarines.
The commands real advan-
tage lies in quality. So far the
reds have proved to be inferior
in air and sea ability and they
have no known atomic weap-
ons. The Red armies, though
not we'll equipped, are numer-
Gus enough to smother the
commands ground forces.
So the Pacific Command will
have to avoid conventional
land warfare and do battle in
the air and sea and rely after
first skirmisheS on nuclear
weapons.
What are the deficiencies of
the command? Talking to its
leaders, the answer seems to be
that it lacks enough of every
thing. But more specifically, its
most important deficiencies
seem to be in air defense-a
radar fence around the Com
muniSt area does not exist
modern equipment and stable
personnel.
Commanders want more
ships, planes and men, but with
the commands limited fighting
role it is hard to see how sub
stantial increases could be justi-
fed.
The Navy is most anxious to
have one more super-carrier,
but even another Forrestal
would add only about 35 more

made to the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, but the Air Force IN par
ticular is working toward this.
The principal complaint is
that in time of military action
the Navy units of the Pacific
Command are sent to the scene
first, while the Air Force could
get there faster with more
power if Admiral Felt said go
to everyone at the same time
And the Army says it wonders
if Admiral Felt has any inten-
tions Of using soldiers at any
time as long as one Marine is
still able to fight.
There are minor irrltations
Of soldiers and airmen serving
under an admiral and, on lower
levels of admirals serving under
generals, but there are no
broad complaints of interfer-
ence in training, tactics, supply
channels, etc.
The general picture is of a
large. smoothly working COM
mand patroling a vast area and
able to perform its limited jon.

offensive planes to the area (it
would carry on an average 48
offensive planes, about a third
of which would be out for
maintenance checks at any
given time.
The Seventh Fleet now keeps
three attack carriers of tie

in another half dozen or so dur

The Air Force wants more
tactical bombers and f1ghter-
bombers on the scene, but at
the same time it boasts it could
get Stateside bombers to the
theater in two days.
The Army wants to fill out
its three Pacific divisions and
provide them with emergency
airlift. But the two skeleton
divisions in Korea look strong
enough for their delaying role
and the reserve division in
Hawaii wouldn't be used un-

Holding the Line
In fact, the Pacific Com
mand looks big enough until
the American strategy changes.
The present forward strategy"
is to hold the line around Red
China but to rely on Pacific
Command forces only to deter
or to fight small engagements
Big wars would be fought by
forces now in the States.
If this country ever decides
to build forces to handle me-
dunn sized warS-Something on
the Korea War scale-then the
Pacific Command will have to
be bolstered many-fold in land
sea and air forces.
How does this unified" COM
mand work? An admiral runs
it. and under him are air
and land generals and more
admirals directing their re-
spective Army, Navy and Air
Force commands. In each
Pacific country there is an
other smaller unified command,
sometimes under a general,
sometimes under an admiral.
This degree of unification is
a year old. 1t seems to be
working to the general satisfac-
ton of the three services, al
though both the Army and Air
Force want to rotate the top
job. which now goes automatic
ally to an admiral. No formal
request for rotation has been

superlatives but the fact that
the Pacific Command is a
limited force nicely tailored to
q limited job.
The 1St and 7th Fleets, the
5th and 18th Air Forces and the
1St Cavalry, 7th and 25th Divi-
sionS-all under the command
Of one admiral on a Hawaiian
hilltop-are too thin to guard
adequately all Of free Asia and
80 million square miles of ocean.
But 1t doesn't have to guard
D all. The job Of the Pacific
Command is to help deter small
wars and, If wars do break out,
to be the second tier of a three
step plan of applied free-world
force.
Parading the Flag
The big job is difference.
This is where the 7th Fleet,
with its conspicuous. ever
moving display Of American
power and American involve
ment, has the key role. Aircraft
carrier striking forces cruise
along the fringe of Asia in the
classic "show-the-flag" maneu-
yer. The Communist heartland
is reminded continuously that
it must fight the United States
If it tries to break out. And the
free-world allies on the fringe
are reminded that this country
is committed to their defense.

the assumption is that it will
be handled first by the local
forces. mostly American
trained, in the immediate area.
If this is not enough. the
Pacific Command as the second
defensive tier, brings up its
tactical land and sea based air
power. lands the Marines and
then puts in ground troops.
If this is not enough. the
third and unlimited level of
power held in reserve in conti-
mental United States will be
sent to the rescue.
Chinese BeIligerent
What are the chances of this
strategy being put to the test?
And how does the Pacific Com
mand and its strategy stack up?
First of all, the military and
civilian leaders, both American
and allied, in the Pacific area
believe the Chinese Communists
are on the march. There is no
co-existence campaign here.
The Eisenhower Khrushchev
determination to talk things
over is believed to have no
effect on the restless, belliger-
ent Red Chinese government.
Red China is expected to
carry on an active program Of
SubverSion and harrassment, as
it has in India, Laos, the For
mosa straits and Indonesia,
and, where it can gather the
preponderant power, expand
militarily as in Tibet and the
India border regions.
There is no rigid border be-
tween the Communist and free
worlds as in Europe. 1t is easy
for the Reds to slip across a
jungle-covered border or to
cripple a newly independent
local government.
So all the experts say the
Pacific Command is sure to be
tested repeatedly by threats of
war and by guerrilla actions.
1t is much less a good bet
that the command itself will
have to fight. If the small prob
lens are handled by local forces
Grained by the command) and
if the command and backup
forces at home maintain a firm
posture, Pacific Command lead
ers believe wars big enough to
involve American troops can
be avoided. They doubt if the
Communists now have the
strength to fight the Com
mand's forward forces and they
