Plans for an all-new army
for the late 1960s were revealed
to the public today before the
convention here of the Associa-
ton of the United States Army.
Called MOMAR Modern
Mobile Army the concept
would put all men and equip
ment of every division on
wheels or wings. 1t would pro-
vide them with modern wea-
pons, most of which could use
several kinds of ammunition.
including both nuclear and
INT explosives. Tactics and
organization would be re-
vamped.
All this would cost the tax
payers 81 billion of SO billion
extra a year, according to one
off-the-cuff estimate of an
Army architect of MOMAR.
Army spendingS has been run
ming from So billion to SO bill
lion a year.
Momar is the newest result
of a decade of Army wrestling

Congress Should Stay in Session

Senator Kennedy also
would transfer the blame to
the opposite side. He says
with reference to the Pres
ident'S message:
IF he (the President) can
now assure us that a re-
sponsible program to meet
those needs will start receiv-
ing the support of at least
one-half of the Republican
members of Congress, Sen
ator johnson and I can as
sure him that those needs
will be met in every possible
way that time permits"
But why doesn't time per-
nit? And why should the
party in power wait on the
minority party? If any num-
ber of Republicans do not go
along with the Presidents
program, it would be a mas
ter stroke politically to put
them on record SO that the
country would know who is
blocking the enactment of
necessary legislation. The re-
cording of every members
vote on vital issues is a better
way to appraise, the worth of
candidates for reelection
than by trying to evaluate all
the campaign speeches, with
their glowing promises, that
might be made this autumn.
The most wholesome de-
velopment that could occur
at this critical time in Amer
lean history would be for
both parties to give up the
campaign carnivalS and
shows and keep Congress in
session until mid October,
and then go to the country
with a concentrated three
weeks of campaigning that
would really be far less of a
bore to the public than three
months of campaigning of
the customary kind

AII-New Mobile Army
Plans Revealed Today

with the problems posed by
ground warfare in an era when
nuclear weapons are plentiful.
No one knows how a nuclear
war would be fought-or even
whether nuclear weapons would
be used. To complicate the
Army's problem, the Soviet
Union is. known to have more
and better equipped troops-by
far-than the American Army.
How then do you fight a
bigger and better enemy on a
Fbattlefield that can be inciner-
ated with relative ease in a few
hours?
Gen. Matthew Ridgeway ay
asked his staff to answer this
question about six years ago
when he was Army Chief of
Staff. A multitude of studies
have been going on ever since.
The first big revision of the
Army was the introduction of
the pentomic division, which
gave the Army fighting units
more fleXibility. With it went
a sprinkling of nuclear weap-
onS. Divisions have been pen
tonic for about two years.

ment almost certainly was left
behind by the 1909 party.
Col. Sandridge's party, a
transportation environmental
operations group, conducted
Operation Lead Dog, 1860"
between May 18 and July %.
The exercise completed work
begun in 1859, when the Army
set out to traverse the most
remote part of the Greenland
Ice Cap.
Tractor drawn sleds an d
wheeled fuel carriers made up
the ground elements of the
55-man party. Two Sikorsky
H-34 helicopters comprised the
air element.
Scientific Findings
Probably the most important
development was the ability to
operate aircraft at great dis
tances from maintainance
bases, he added.
These helicopters we're about
as far from home base as it is
from here to st. Louis" Col,
Sandridge said.
Scientific findings of impor-
tance included the fact that ex-

States, there is a real danger
that in the months mot
years. to come, the Iron Cur
tain will descend over other
Latin American countries.
1t should be realized that
smaller and weaker countries
cannot adopt strong mea-
sures; if they do, they run
the risk of being called ag-
greSsors. The initiative for
preserving freedom must
come from the United States.
And we have been. to put it
mildly, negligent in this re-
spect. We have also developed
a strange conception about
relationships; the anti-Com-
muniSts were described as
pernicious while those who
had imbibed the Communist
theology received our en-
brace. The Far East-especi-
ally Southern Asia-is equally
dangerous, but only if the
enemy relies on hesitation
and indecision by our PreSi-
dent.
Our people have been terro-
riZed into the belief that we
have no defense If interna-
tional communism goes on a
war rampage and launches its
missiles against us. 1t has
been only in the last few
months that the real reason
that the Moscow-Peiping axis
has not unleashed a shoot
ing war has been revealed:
the real might of the Ameri-
can forces which can de-
stroy all the important tar
gets in the Soviet Union.
while we may only be dam
aged.
But to make sure of this
deterrent it is necessary that
the President be a man of
decision who would not have
to listen to his brain trusters
while the international ket-
tie was boiling over. Unless
such a man is in charge,
international communism is
bound to win by default.

81 New Citizens
NuturuIized Here

Fifty adults and four Chill
dren today became naturalized
United States citizens at a
ceremony in the United States
Courthouse.
The citizenship oath was ad-
ministered by District Court
Judge George L. Hart, jr., who
urged the new citizens to vote
seriously and intelligently."
Philip L. Gore, president of
the National Capitol Area
Council of the Boy Scouts of
America, urged the group to
bear in mind that you have
certain duties as citizens as
we'll as privileges. Those of us
who are born here frequently
take our privileges for granted
and overlook our duties"

MOMAR, if given final ap-

MOMAR, if given final ap-
proval by top Army bosses
expected in a few months-will
carry pentomic changes for
ward. The whole Army would
go MOMAR by 1865.
The MOMAR Army would be
a little bigger than the current
$40, ,0O0-man ground force. Di-
visions would have 10000 to
$4,000 men. All divisions would
be either medium" or heavy"
The difference would be in the
number of tanks. amount of
fire power and size of the area
that could be defended.
A heavy division would be
able to defend twice as big an
area as a present division.
Each would have about 100 air
craft attached to it-twice as
many as today. The basic tank
for each division would be a
35-toner-about half the weight
of the newest big Army tank
which unfortunately cannot be
carried by any aircraft.
MOMAR tactics are still
secret. The convention, in the
Sheraton-Park Hotel of about
$500 friends of the Army, was
given only the bare bones of
the MOMAR plan.
So the public still does not
know just how Gen. Ridgeway's
original question has been
answered.

are closing in on us more
rapidly. The Iron Curtain,
which in the past was thou
sands of miles away, is now
at our doorstep. Within less
than 100 miles from our
shores Cuba has become a
satellite state controlled not
only by the Castro kids but
also by their advisers" from
the Soviet Union, Czecho-
slovakia and Communist
China.
Last Sunday Fidel Castro
announced the confiscation
of practically all American
property in Cuba-property
which in the past has con-
tributed so much to the well
fare of the island.
There has been some Com
munist infiltration of Latin
America since the last war
when we pressed the gov
ernments of our sister re-
publics to recognize the
Kremlln dictatorship. But it
is only since we, with reck-
less Short-SightedneSS, helped
Castro come to power that a
Communist political and mil
itary base has been estab-
lished dangerously close to
our own shores.

that there have been ar

week end to a Negro driving a
taxicab and asked him what
he thought of the speeches
he said he had heard at the
two political conventions. His
reply is worth repeating here:
II want to know what each
candidate plans to do-and
what he is really going to do"
Maybe the American peo-
pie are fed up with the usual
sort of campaigning and want
action and specific state
ments on concrete issues
from the candidates. Maybe
the electorate isn't as dumb
as the politicians seem to
think it is, judging by the
kind of demagoguery and
distortion they practice in
their speech-making.
The time for action on
many current problems is at
hand. President Eisenhower
has outlined a comprehensive
program. 1t is of little con-
sequence now whether he has
been as insistent in the past
as he might have been. Thus,
Senator Lyndon Johnson.
Democratic majority leader,
is quoted as having said, in
commenting on various rec
concentrations in the Pres
ident's message, that many
of the provisions tould have
been passed if the President
had exercised the leadership
over the past seven years"
So far as the American
people are concerned. they
know the Democratic Party
has been in control of Con-
greSS since 1854, and the
responsibility for action on
legislation still belongs to the
party in power in both houses
of the legislative branch of

There's no good reason why
Congress shouldn't stay in
session from now until the
middle of October.
President Eisenhower has
just called attention to the
unfinished business. The
President says only six of the
81 measures he cited in May
"as required by the Nations
interests" have been enacted
into law.
The only practical obstacle
to a continuous session is
the traditional belief that the
time between now and No
vember 8 must be spent in
campaigning. Yet in Great
Britain and other free coun-
tries. campaigns require only
about three weeks time.
What better way can the
Democratic Party, which is in
control of both houses of
Congress, justify its claim to
a continuance in power than
by enacting necessary legis-
lation? Doing things is better
than merely prom sing
things.
If Congress concentrated
on the unfinished business
and decided to postpone ad-
journment until the middle
of October, there would be an
opportunity to make some
real progress on pending is
sues. The platforms of both
parties would take on new
meaning. They would be
translated into concrete ac-
tions by the members of each
of the two major parties.
But the tendency today is
the other way-to waste time
by political maneuverS and
speeches, and to try to fix the
blame on the other side. This
