MCNAMARA
I U. S. Called Prepared
( For Big or Little War

salvoS. We may seek to termi-
nate a war on favorable terms
by using our forces as a bar
gaining weapon-by threatening
further attack.
I'm any case, our large re-
serve of protected firepower
would give the enemy an in
centive to avoid our cities and
to stop a war. Our new policy
gives us the flexibility to choose
among several operational
plans, but does not require that
we make any advance commit
ment with respect to doctrine
or targets.
1--WE shall be committed only
to a system that gives us the
ability to use our forces in a
controlled and deliberate way,
so as best to pursue the inter-
ests of tn United States, our
allies, and the rest of the free
world"
Calls Alternatives Necessary
But, Mr.. Mcnamara said,
there must be a wide range of
practical alternative" to use
of nuclear firepower. Forces
must be ready to deal with Mr..
Khrushchev's kinds of alterna-
tive wars-of liberation" and
"uprisings." He said:
UNLESS the free world has
sufficient forces organized and
equipped to deal with these
challenges at what appears to
be the highest appropriate
levels of conflict, we could be
put into difficult situations by
the Communists.
I'm areas where the nuclear
deterrent is the only deter
rent, and where the political
or other issue is such that the
nuclear deterrent does not ap-
pear to be fully persuasive to
the Soviets, our friends ulti-
mately could come to believe
in the sincerity Of Soviet
threats. They could be inclined
to submit to Soviet blackmail
if we had available no suitably
scaled and obviously credible
countermeasures.
He said the buildup Of non
nuclear strength in the United
States and in NATO will in
crease our capacity to tailor
our responses to a particular
military challenge to that level
Of force which is both appro-
pirate to the issue involved and
militarily favorable to our
side"

It was not until British sea-
men, landed from the frigates
and troops from a base Is miles
outside the city, arrived by
truck that some order returned.
The troops had orders to shoot
on sight anyone disregarding a
challenge, and did so.
Other troops took up guard
positions around the home OF
DR.. Jagan, his ministers, power
stations and other key points.
Needless of appeals from the
British governor to stay off
the streets, thousands fled to
safety in the country.
The intervention Of British
troops was the second such
action in less than 10 years.
In 1858 DR.. Jagan was deposed
and British troops were sent
to the country because it was
feared he was planning to es-
tablish a Communist bridge
head in this corner Of South
America. He scored a comeback
in elections in 1857 and again
