Intelligence Aide
Quits to Take
Budget Post
BY the Associated Press

Robert Amory. jr.. has re-
signed as a deputy director Of
the Central Intelligence agency
to become a top aide to Budget
Director David E. Bell, asso-
ciates said yesterday.
MIR. Amory, Al, has been
with CHA for 10 years. and was
head Of its intelligence divi-
sion. He is expected to start
work at the Budget Bureau on
Monday. Mr.. Armory's resig-
nation from CHA was described
as entirely Of his own choosing
Friends said CHA Director
John A. McCone wanted Mr.
Amory to stay on. They be-
lieved Mr.. Amory decided on
the change because of the gen.
eral revamping of the CHA high
command, because no further
promotion seemed available at
the intelligence agency, and be-
cause of an interest in Budget
Bureau work.
A former Harvard law pro-
fessor, Mr.. Amory was re-
garded as something of a bud
get expert before he went with
CHA.
Mr.. Amory could not be
reached Immediately for COM

off to fight. ....
Even If he had, the bombers
would have turned around and
returned to their bases unless
they had been sent a further
order to proceed.
Meanwhile SAC and the top
civilian and military leaders
would have had at least two
hours to check out the alarm
before a final go" signal would
have been sent.
During that time, other signs
of an attack would have beer
checked and the President
would have made q decision to
proceed or drop back.
ANY one Of these multiple
layers Of checks would have
stopped an attack which did
not, in fact. start.
Safeguards like these have
been used before. In one well.
publicized incident more than 6
year ago the BMEWS radal
picked up the moon and sent
a false signal that one ICBM
was on its way. SAC responded
quickly, but again stopped wei
short of an accidental war.
Beat Its Goal
SAC is proud of its action!
during the alarm. But it is mos
proud and relieved to have
found out during the alarm tina
it does have an ability to keer
half of its bomber force OF
nder-15-minute alert.
Under the Eisenhower adj
ministration, SAC was building
toward a 15-minute alert O.
one third Of it's force. Before i
could achieve that. Presiden
Kennedy ordered the aler
stepped up to one-half of tn,
force.
Some SAC officers thought i
couldn't be done. Both men ant
machines have their limita'
tons, and the goal of one-hal
of the crews and planes read,
to take off in Is minute
seemed to stretch resources un
reasonably.
On that late fall night whel
the alarm sounded, SAC wa
not at all sure it really hat
such an alert force. But durinl
that completely unschedule,
pre-dawn test, SAC found
could beat the goal by ~

ness to enforce the orders of
the government.
Though the strength Of the
GAS is still largely intact. it
has been badly shaken by re-
cent events. Above all, its hold
on the people and its hope of
using the crowd as a major
weapon Of open revolution has
been seriously weakened during
the week of heavy fighting
The recent capture of several
important GAS leaders is taken
as a highly encouraging sign.
The cease fire has increased
contacts between the French
army and the Moslems. The
intelligence is improving and
many believe the capture OF
GAS leader Raoul Salan may
be imminent.
Mob Gets the Word
The shooting of civilians dur
ing the street demonstration

tragic, is justified as necessary
and perhaps inevitable. The
crowd had been warned in ad-
vance and knew the risks they
were taking. An important les

In this strange setting, the

For slightly more than four
minutes war seemed possible.
Then. Just as suddenly as they
were broken, communications
between SAC, BMEWS and the

1t was quickly clear that
BMEWS was unframed after

The tension broke at SAC
headquarters, but to be COM

minutes after Gen. Power sent
out his first order, the word

If the original order had
been to scramble" almost all
OF those planes could have been
in the air and on their way
already to enemy targets.
They did not take off; Gen
Power ordered them back to
routine alert status.
This story was kept secret
by SAC and the Pentagon until
yesterday for two reasons:
First, the Pentagon feared
that if the public heard about
the alarm, people would think
mistakenly that this country
had gone to the brink of wal
over an error.
Second, SAC wanted to find
the cause of the communica-
lions break and correct it be-
fore the enemy could find any
possible advantage in the
incident.

Mr.. Williams said the judg-

Mr.. Kitchen and Mr.. HERS had
indicated they might not make
any attempt to replace the two

Mr.. Kitchen said it was
difficult to make a decision on
