Irrudiuted
Foods Plant
Halt Blasted
BY the Associated Press

An industrial nuclear scien-
tist says that postponement OF
construction of an Army irradi-
ated foods plant was a severe
blow to American prestige in
atomic energy fields.
DR.. H. F.. Kraybill told the
Senate House Atomic Energy
Committee yesterday There
has been a considerable disillu-
sionment in European coun-
tries who had programs based
on United States leadership" in
this food preservation field.
DR.. Kraybill, of the nuclear
radiation department of Cur
tiss-Wright Corp, Princeton
N. j., said he also wanted to
challenge implications of testl-
mony presented by the Army
to justify its postponement de-
ciSion.
The Army said that not only
were the economics unfavor-
able but that fresh medical
evidence had turned up indi-
eating that eating irradiated
food might cause serious phys
ical ailments.
DR.. Kraybill said that the
defects found by Army scien-
lists IN animals fed irradiated
foods might have resulted from
nutritional deficiencies or other
things than the radiation.

Soviet Boasts on New Weapons

Gus danger from the very ma
tion which we saved from
destruction by Hitler.
According to those whose
business and responsibility it
is to study carefully our de-
fense posture, we are in a
tenuouS position insofar as
rocketry is concerned and way
behind the Soviet Union in
conventional forces.
Mr.. Khrushchev has an
nounced with much fanfare
that the Russian armies will
be reduced by one-third. This
means that instead of the
present ITS full-strength di-
visions the Soviet Union will
have 125 divisions. We are
being urged by the Kremlin
boss to follow his example.
Actually, the United States
ground forces consist at pres
ent of only Is divisions of
which only eight are nearly
full strength. Our allies are
no better of. The British are
rapidly reducing their ground.
air and naval forces to a little
more than a parade and po-
lice force. The French, who
have 100000 men trained un-
der arms, have to maintain
most of that number in Alge-
ria. The Germans have been
rearming for the last eight
years. Today they have about
seven divisions. The total
Western ground forces rep
resent about one-fourth of
the total Soviet reduced"
force.
Insofar as rocketry and
missiles are concerned, our
allies depend exclusively on
us and on our potential pro-
duction. And, judging by the
reports available in WASH
ington, we are we'll behind
the Soviet Union in that re-
spect. The situation can, of
course, be remedied. But the
remedy does not rest in opti-
mistic statements and wishful
thinking. 1t rests in a real
effort and serious sacrifices,
which do not appear likely
in an election year.
