Correction

Col. H. F. Muenter. UsAP.
commander Of Randolph Air
Force Base. Tex. has called to
the attention of The Star an
unfortunate and completely
erroneous statement which ap-
peared in q news story printed
In the first edition of The Star
Of October ~, 1860. The Star
extends It's apologies to Col
Muenter. with the following
explanation Of the unusual cir
cuHnstance which caused the
mistake.
The Star printed q story
from San Antonio on October
- which. as transmitted by
the Associated Press, contained
the following paragraph:
I'm August, Col. H. F.
Muenter, commander at Ran
dolph, announced that his
deputy commander, Col. j. P.
Randolph, had been relieved
Of duty while authorities
studied allegations that
Government property had
been misappropriated in the
building Of a house boat.
There have been no further
reports on that case"

would also bring a tremendous
extra burden on the taxpayer
because 1t costs far more to

ploye. =

least during the initial five
years Of the present program.
He insists France Is still loyal
to its alliances but will be more
respected with its own nuclear
force.
Sixty-Seven Deputies-Social-
lists. Radicals, Conservatives
and Republican Unity (Algeria)
supporterS-Signed the censure
motion.
Former Premier Guy Mollet,
leader Of the Socialists, said
he hopes to get about $50 to
vote for it. This would still
be short of the 277 needed to
throw out the government.
Most students of parliamentary
arithmetic doubted the CEN
sure motion can collect more
than 220 or 230 votes.
DeDfe Gains support
But the attitude Of some may
change at the last minute.
The Christian Democrats,
who have four ministers in the
Debre cabinet, decided to stick
with the Premier by Q narrow
party vote. The decision came
only after former Premier
Premier Michel Debre has de-
Pierre Pflimlin warned that a
defeat Of the government might
involve a crisis Of the whole
regime and prepare the way
for what they fear most-s
military Junta of colonels.
If the .censure motion fails
as expected, !, Mr.. Debre will
gain a tafnished victory at the
expense Of French prestige
abroad and personal prestige
at home.

some military officers that. Il
unchecked, "could lead only to
virtually complete militarizs-
ton" of the defense agencies.
Mr.. Campbell asked for the
appropriate committees In Con-
gresS to direct an impartial
survey in the Defense Depart
ment Of the use Of military and
civilian personnel, with the
congressional groups to keep
close tabs Of the survey.
In the current edition Of
Ages. publication. The Gov
ernment Standard, Mr.. Camp
bell expressed the fears Of many
civilian employees in defense
units that their careers are
endangered.
There are increasingly dis
turbing signs that certain mil
Iitary sources have launched a
drive to push great numbers
Of career service employees out
Of the Defense Department. q
move which could lead to vir-
tually complete militarization
of that agency" Mr.. Campbell
declared.
THE first key shot was fred
during congressional hearings
on the fiscal year 1851 De-
tense appropriation. Admiral
Hyman Rickover called for q
cutback in the Pentagon staff.
According to newspaper re-
ports, the admiral did not
specify whether the reduction
should be made in the civilian
or military stafis or both.
THE fact remains, however.
that the Defense Department
budget approved by Congress
calls for a significant reduction
in career civilian employees,
mostly at the Pentagon. The
cutbackS made as q result Of
this budget slash came on the
heels Of similar, though less
severe, reductions. Apparently,
there has been no cutback in
the military staff at the Pen
tagon.
There are two other sig
nificant aspects to the drive
against the Defense Depart
ments civilian staff. They are
an article by Gen. John Me-
aris which appeared recently in
a national magazine and an
Air Force maneuver at the
Pentagon called Project High
Tide"
UNWARRANTED AND IN
SULTING-Mr. Campbell Dcon-
tinued: Gen. Medaris' article
contained some amazing and.
unfortunately. highly insulting
statements. The general char
acterized civil servants as seek
ing only the protection Of their
own positions and the perpetu-
alton and growth Of their per-
sonal empires This Is an un-
warranted slur against the
people whose daily job is to op-
crate the Government Of the
United States.
mot one top Government Of
flcial has seen At to challenge
Gen. Medaris' statement. We
often hear Of the Governments
growing inability to attract top
new employees to the public
service. It is not surprising
that prospective employees
would hesitate to take a Fed
Feral job when they see Gov
eminent oficialS stand mutely
by while the career service Is
pilloried."
Gen. Medaris' statement that
80 per cent Of civilians could
be released without harm to
the defense effort xvoa dnecrihaf,
by Mr.. Campbell as difficult to
take seriously" The Defense
Department would cease to op-
crate, or the jobs vacated by
civilians would have to be filled
by military personnel, the
AFGE leader, noted.

thinkable: the second would

france It's own atomic striking
force, independent Of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The cost is put at $1.2 billion.
But other unpopular aspects
Of the austere Frenchman's pol
icy are also at stake. The major
deterrent to stronger opposition
is fear Of what might happen
If the government really is CEN
Sured. Some say the result could
be governmental chaos or even
military revolt.
Algeria Problem q Factor
The Europeans" Of the left
seek to force Gen. de Gaulle
into closer cooperation in
building the kind Of integrated
Europe they would like to see.
The French Algeria" parties
Of the right want to undermine
his offer Of self determination
for the Algerians.
There is pressure on the
rightists to act now by toppling
the government-if they can
because Of reports Gen. de
Gaulle is planning a new step
on the long path toward end
ing the six-year war in Algeria.
No one really knows what he
intends, but the general belief
is that he may set up some
form Of provisional govern
ment in Algiers and to reopen
negotiations with the national
ist rebels, who have their own
exile provisional government

Issue Divides French
For the anti-de Guile forces,
who can seldom agree on any,
thing except their common dis
like Of his regime, the striking
force issue provides a handy
pretext to get together. Few
Frenchmen really want to pay
tax money for an all-French
nuclear deterrent, and fewer
still would like to see their
country led toward military
isolation from its allies. J
