Mcnamara Challenge Points
Dispute on Red Army Power

civilian and military analysts
do agree on the basic facts
about the manpower and
in Soviet divisions,
and on the number Of divi-
sions.
Disagree on Conclusions
They disagree on what can
be concluded from this infor-
nation. They make widely
varying estimates Of the COM
bat strength Of a Soviet divi-
sion compared with an Ameri-
can division.
If Mr.. Mcnamara Is right,
the United States does need its
powerful ground force, and a
non-nuclear defense Of Europe
is worth striving for. If he is
wrong. however, the Eisenhow-
er policy Of a small American

nuclear defense Of Europe was
right.
Everyone agrees that on
paper at least the Russian
army has lots Of divisions. The
old estimate by the American
Army of ITS divisions is as
good as any.
But not all Of those divisions
are manned, equipped or even
remotely ready to fight.
How ready Is ready? One
rough standard would be to
take the poorest and least
available of the a American
reserve divisions and say that
that is the least that could be
called a division. BY that
standard, Russia has somewhat
more than 100 divisions.
By this standard, all the
experts agree. America has so

This. they agree also. Is q
useless comparison because the
poorest divisions on both sides
are not worth counting.
Agreement Otherwise
1t Is better to count the
Russian divisions that inteln-
gence says are reasonably we'll
manned, fit and ready to fight.
Again there is agreement all
around. Mr.. Mcnamara recently
put this figure at fewer than
80. Before Congress In secret
session early this year he went
as low as so. The intelligence
community says so to 80

reasonable estimate.

Russian satellite divisions add
up to fewer than one in these
estimates, since they are so
unreliable in time Of war Russia
would have to detail elements
of the Red army to watch
them.
The agreed comparison now
is that there are so to 80 good
Russian divisions against at
least 80 good European-Amer-

some Of which are good)
CALDER Of Organizations
How good are they on both
sides?
Current estimates say one
American division slice (the
division plus its combat sup
port unitS) has twice as many
men as q Russian division slice
and more than twice as much
equipment. including guns and
vehicles Of all kinds.
With twice the men and
equipment, Mr.. Mcnamara and
most civilian analysts argue, an
American division ought to
have twice the firepower and
maneuverability and therefore,
twice the power in a war.
Army analysts do not agree.
Various estimates in the Army
say one American division Is
IL to 1.8 times as good-not
twice. The new study is mar
rowing down this range. The

Numerous Nervous Neighbors
Bothered By Belt1Oay Blasts

"That phone is going to
start ringing like crazy in
five minutes" Fire Marshal
Charles H. Howe predicated.
Five minutes later the phone
rang, and rang persistently for
more than an hour.
The Montgomery County fire
marshal is not psychic, how.
ever.
Every time the construction
company sets off a dynamite
blast, that phone jangles it's
head off," Howe said YEARLY
last week. The fire marshal is
told, in advance, of the exact
time and date of each blast.
'"The residents living near a
part of the Capital Beltway, be-
tween University Boulevard and
New Hampshire Avenue, are
alarmed about the blasting
they're doing. They claim the
houses shake and rattle every
time a blast goes off," he ex-
planned.
The construction firm hit the
news last, month when flying
rocks crashed through a house
on De We're Drive, Hillandale.
According to fire department
officials, who issue permits for
construction jobs, the dynamit-
ing operation was not being
handled carefully enough, and
their permit was temporarily
suspended.
1--WE got rid of the man who
was In charge of the operation"
a construction company spokes-
man said, land somebody else
has been hired. We have 10000
cubic yards of rock to break up
and haul out of there, and it
will take us another six to eight
weeks of blasting to do the job"
he added.
Because of numerous com.
plants, Howe requested a time
schedule of blasting operations.
Its like waiting for the count
down before a space ship takes
off," Howe explained. II know,
for example, that they're going
to blast at exactly 1915 today.
I will sit here watching the sec.
onds tick off. Five-four-three
-two-one! At 1920 the phone
will start screaming. Dozens of
disturbed residents will call to
complain.
'They blast up to two or three
times a day." Howe said, "but
sometimes a week goes by with
no blasting at all. 1--WE have a
fire department inspector down
there keeping an eye on things
when they blast" he added.
The company now keeps a
seismograph on the scene,
which measures the exact
amount of vibration from each
blast. "The danger point on the
seismograph is &c." a company
official explained. 1--WE have
never had a reading above 1.2.
We take a reading from the
house nearest to the blast" he
said.

Wheaton Regional Center.
Twinbrook, whose league
record is Is wins against
four defeats, got off to a two
run lead in the first inning,
due to the wildness of pit
cher Hargett, who issued
three walks and hit two
batsmen. They picked up
three more in the second
inning on a double by Stan
Harris, a walk to Buddy
Wade, a single by Bob Wood
and another single by Eddie
Wratten.

Donald was in trouble in the

the severe winter in the area.
AS bad as the problem ap-
pears at this point, it is not as
grim as the situation the farm
ers faced last year. A three
month low for rainfall was re-
corded in June, July and August
of last year, it was reported by
the Washington weather bu-
reau. In June, 1862, 2.44 inches
of rain fell, while only 1.63
were recorded in July. The
lowest rainfall recorded for a
single month came in August
when only SIS inches of rain fell
in the Washington area.
So far this year, the farmers
have enjoyed more rain, but are
still feeling the results of last
years drought and this years

However, in the third, Blu
chanan came to life and mar
rowed the score to "a on singles
by relief pitcher Bennett and
third baseman Seymour. Quat-
trocci then hit a hard ground
ball to shortstop Dick Harris,
who let it go through for an
error as two runs scored. Wink
ler's single drove in Quattrocci
and he scored on Targets
triple.
Bennett, who relieved Hargett
in the second, pitched one hit
ball the rest of the way.
Big Bernie SPAIN took over
the pitching chores for Twin
brook in the fifth and gave up
the remaining four runs in the
sixth inning, although, none of
the runs were earned.
Dick Harris, regarded by
many as the best shortstop in
the Washington area, made
three errors in that inning and
they contributed heavily to the
scoring. In 45 ball games last
year, Harris made only two
errors, so this was some sort of
a nebulous record for him.
Twinbrook, under the astute
management of Mike Conway,
has an overall record of 1916 for
the season. This loss broke a
Is game winning streak.
Earlier Twinbrook beat Gar
den Restaurant 81 in the Off
cial opening night game, under
the lights, at the beautiful new
Wheaton Regional Park. The
game was highlighted by the
four hit pitching of Twinbrook
ace, Del Purden, who also had
the honor of hitting the first
home run out of the $50 foot
park. It was a 300 footer that
cleared the fence by at least 25
feet.
Carlton r. Sickles, Democrat
ic Congressman at Large for
the State of Maryland, who was
the guest speaker, threw out the
first ball, which was captured
by Buddy Wade of Twinbrook.
Congressman Sickles remained
for the entire proceedings and
expressed his delight with the
! game, the park and the enthusi-
asm of the fans.
Buddy Cowan, assisted by
league secretary Bob McKenna,
was Master of Ceremonies at
the dedication and Andy Kirk,
a Twinbrook resident and long
time national singing favorite,
gave forth with a beautiful
rendition of the National An
them. An estimated 700 persons
attended the game.
