ADV. 24-3tE
Evening star., 1961-02-05

A WEEK before the sneak attack on
"A Pearl Harbor in 1041, United States
intelligence services reported that the
japanese feet was moving toward
Hawaii with what might be hostile intent.
Even with this much warning. we were
unable to defend or eounterattack. al
though ample forces were readily avail
able A devastating surprise" raid re-
suited. Main reason for our failure:
procedures for evaluating data and
making decisions were too cumbersome.
Today the time for decision has been
drastically cut
I'VE would be lucky to have warn
ines half an hour in advance Of an enemy
attack, and we can really count on no
more than IS minutes to get set" So
states a man who knows of then and
now. He is Gen. Thomas D. White, four
star chief Of the Air Force and mem
ber of the Joint Chiefs who preside over
all the Services.
Some day." says Gen. White, "a man
may have to make the most mOmentouS
decision in human history on the basis
of reports which he may not have more
than five minutes to evaluate."
A profound thinker who, para
doxically, must channel most Of his
thoughts into immediacies, Gen. White
is properly oOverawed by the necessity
for any mans judgment being so tested.
Most important on q list Of ten weapon
developments which the general would
like for the Air Force is an improved
system of communications which would
advance our warning time in case of an
attempted sneak attack: ideally, it would
also provide the type of data that would
make q wrong decision all but impOssi-

Pentagon office, flicking cigarette ashes
with vehemence, Gen. White pounded
out the principles upon which he feels
this Nations security rests.
"A force that will not prevail in war,
will not prevent war," )" he insisted. Power
to deter an enemy from starting a war
must include more than q striking force
that will pulverize his cities in return.
We must have the means to win. Too
many people believe that full-scale
atomic holocaust would leave no spOils
to q victor, and maybe no victor at all.
Not so, declared the general. Population
dispersal plus possible eventual under
ground living can insure survival Of a
sizable number of people in potential
enemy lands.
Destroying enemy cities will not
win q war;" Gen. White asserted. DE
stroying enemy forces will" This is the
core Of his philosophy about armament,
and q guide to where he feels money
available should best be spent I'VE
can't afford everything on the tech
biological menu, nor can we continue to
pay main-course prices for dessert"
Gen. White firmly believes Americas
No. I project is building q sufficient
force to deter q nuclear war. We must
concentrate, he believes, on programs
which, in total, will provide the most
security to US and our allies. To this end,
Gen. White has list of ten toppriority
weapon and support systems the Air
Force needs to make progress on in a
hurry. His supersh0pping list includes:
ID IntercontinentaI ballistic missiles;
ca air.tosurfaee missiles; CD fOllOw-On
long.Fange aircraft; AZ advanced tactical
systems; 60 ballistic missile warning
systems; 90 long-range defenses; 0 med

space systems.
wherever man moves, he must be
prepared to fight" This is q military
postulate OF quoted by Gen. White and
his aide, Mai. Gen. Arno H. Luehman.
It underscores Whites theory about
aerospace as the battle-ground Of the
future. When Cuban Reds boast that
Russian rockets could blast q United
States force that might try to invade
that island, they are undertaking the
truth, Gen. White maintains. Red rockets
could not only hit Cuba, If desired, but
figuratively they could drop one on the
inGield of the Havana ballpark. We could
do just as well on q target anywhere in
Russia, Gen. White adds dryly.
Yet warhead missile accuracy over
thousands of miles is but the beginning
Of the potentialities of aerospace long
range weapons. As incredible as inter
continental missiles might have seemed
a few decades ago, equally Incredible
weapons will emerge in the next dec
AIDES. There is no chance Of stalling
their development, because the enemy
now has the capacity to build forces
aimed at destroying our forces, as well
as cities"
Gen. White bitterly scorns the notion
of an ultimate weapon or an atomic
stalemate. ITO plan on maintaining the
status quo would mean our eventual
destruction" he says fatly. Only world
wide disarmament under proper con-
trolls, and the restriction Of aerospace
(the air and above) to peaceful uses,
could produce a benign stalemate. The
general fervently favOrs such program,
but is not holding his breath until it's
achieved.
Evening star., 1961-02-05

What will happen in the future
depends. on two factors. Gen. White
acknowledges. Vastly oversimplified,
these two are what we do and what the
enemy does. These factors are both indie
pendent and closely related. We must
develop Independent advanced weapons,
Gen. White maintains, and we must
develop defensive systems based on
likely enemy action. Most important,
in Gen. Whites estimate, are forces
which can destroy enemy forces (means
of fighting. The side that can most
effectively destroy the others means
will win. even if they never land an
atomic bomb on city.
With wry smile, the general pointed
out that we live in day in which there
is good cause for vigilance. Admitting
that generals, admirals, scientists and
top political leaders often disagree
among themselves on the advisability
of certain armament plans, Gen. White
comedies that an ordinary citizen Is
entitled to be a bit befuddled too. But
there is one thing by which the ordinary
citizen can judge the safety of his coun-
try. That is whether we have the striking
power not just for retaliation but for
knockout That power, Gen. White says
calmly, is our only real security.

Doctors are Misleading
 On Health and Aged Plan

WASHINGTON R - Secretary of Welfare Abraham Ribicoff says doctors are misleading the American people" when they label the administrations health care for the aged plan as specialized medicine"
 Doctors are in no way involved in the proposal to provide care for the elderly through Social Security, Ribicoff said Sunday in a televised interview.
 Ribicoff said the American Medical Assn. seeks to spread the impression that doctors would be controlled.
 And he said many individual physicians are afraid to support the program because the AMA exercises very strong sanctions against individual doctors who speak up their mind"

Proposes S7,2OO Ceiling On Wages Taxed for Employment
 Security Purposes be Removed

JUNEAU R - The Chairman of the Senate Commerce and La bor Committee proposed today that the $7,200 ceiling on wages that can be taxed for employment security purposes be removed.
 Sen. George McNabb submitted the proposal in the form of mo- ton as the upper chamber start ed consideration of Gov. Egan's bill, SB30, to boost the basic em- ployment security payment from $45 to $50 a week.
 McNabb's amendment, a two- page document, was given to the Senate when it started considera ton of the bill. After an argument of some 30-50 minutes, the Sen ate decided to hold off further consideration until tomorrow.
 McNabb's amendment would, among other things:
 l. Remove the $7,200 ceiling and place contributions on total wages.
 2. Base the eligibility require ment on wages alone; a flat $500 in wages would qualify a worker for employment security bene- fits.
 3. Remove the requirement that a person work at least five weeks ] before he would become eligible for employment security pay ments.

Clark Gables Widow Gives Birth to an 8-POund Boy

HOLLYWOOD R Clark Gables widow gave birth today to an 8-pound boy.
 Both Mrs. Kay Gable and the baby, delivered by Caesarean sec tion, were reported in good con- dition at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital.
 Gable, longtime hero, died in the same hospital last Nov. 16 of a heart attack. This was his first child and he had looked for ward eagerly to it's birth.
 In a second-floor waiting room, nervously pacing during the sur gerry, was Mrs. Gables 11-year- old son by previous marriage.
 q want a brother" he told newsmen.
 Kay watched the operation - she had only a spinal anaesthetic . until the baby was born.
 What a handsome bay" she said.
 The doctor said the baby was born with an average amount of dark hair; and, unlike his father, has average-size ears.

4. Set the ceiling on an indi- viduaIs basic weekly benefit amount at one-eighty-eighth of his total wages paid during the base period, but not more than $50, computed to the nearest whole dollar.
 5. Workers with dependents would receive an additional amount of 10 per cent of his basic weekly benefit amount for each dependent, not to exceed three.
 6. Sets the maximum number of weeks of benefits a person can receive employment security pay ments at lesser of CD a number equal to one-one-hundredth of his total wages in employment paid during his base period plus two, rounded to the nearest whole number, or (2) 28 weeks.
 McNabb's amendment made no change in the variable contribu- ton rate.
 He said that if his amendment is accepted and is enacted into law and Egan's bill to boost the weekly benefit period from 26 to 28 weeks, becomes law, the en- ployment security fund will have annual surplus of $954,000, based on an insured unemployment rate of 12 per cent.
 If the insured unemployment rate is 11.5 per cent, under the the same conditions, McNabb said, the annual surplus would be $1 ,228,O00.
 "We have heard so much talk about the little people, I'd like to point out that the amendment removes from the act the restric- tion of employment in two quar- ters," McNabb said.
 "This will qualify more people, the little people, for employment security benefits. It is designed to take in more fishermen and can nery workers.
 'It wouldn't give them much," McNabb said, "but it would give them something: Tea and beans perhaps"
