AirIift Of 5000 Troops to Germany
Completed Successfully in 63 Hours
BY FRED S. HOFFMAN

AAsoclhAeo Fre9s Mllitafy Affatrs Writer
FRANKFURT. Germany, Oct.
25.-The massive airlift OF
$4,000 United States soldiers
across the Atlantic has ended
In reSounding success. But a
nagging question remains I'M
answered:
How would Operation Big
Lift have Jared under war con-
ditions?
The last Of 235 Air Force
transport planes deposited the
rear guard Of the I'd Armored
Division at Sembach Air Base
last night.
The elapsed time from the
takeoff of the first jet trans
port from Fort Hood, Tex, on
Tuesday until the touchdown
of the last troop carrier in Ger
many was So hours and 20
minutes.
This was 20 minutes less than
the best time Air Force and
Army leaders had predicted for
the transatlantic airlift. It
was designed to impress NATO
countries-and the Russians
with growing United States
ability to send large reinforce
ments overseas quickly.
Nearly Perfect
Except for a handful of plane
diversions because Of fog, the
airlift was virtually perfect.
Weeks of detailed planning
paid off as troops flowed to
their planes in Texas. The air
craft roared off on intricate
schedules, the soldiers disem-
barked in calm order In West
Germany and France and rolled
off to draw their tanks and
other heavy equipment from
stockpiles.
As the divisions tail coiled
across the Atlantic, its head
was getting ready to move
along German roads to a man.

many's Iron Curtain border.
Next week, the I'd Armored
will try to repel a mock in
vasion from the Communist
East.
Withdrawals Feared
Many Germans were con-
WINGED the Big Lift demonstra-
ton was intended to condition
them for a not too distant
withdrawal of sizeable elements
from Americas 100000 man
army garrison in Western Eu-
rope.
United States Army Secre-
tary Vance capped a string of
United States denials with a.
declaration to a Frankfurt
news conference today that I'VE

q "first-hand view Of what the
situation really is in my coun-
try"
If, however. the probe Is to
be merely q sham. with access
only to one side Of the story,
the whole purpose Of the exer-
else will be defeated, it is agreed.
Mr.. Thant consulted Mr..
Stevenson Wednesday on the
basis Of advance word Of Mr..
Diem's restrictions. The secre-
tary general followed through
yesterday in a conference with
Charles W. Yost, one Of Mr..
Stevenson's deputies.
Explosion Tended Off
United States interest in the
affair is to prevent a public
explosion Of indignation here
against Mr.. Diem, and against
Washington for supporting him.
Such an explosion was Tended
off temporarily by Mr.. Diem's
invitation. The probe team,
however. is due to report TO the
Assembly by mid-November,
and public debate is expected
to follow.
U. N. diplomats note that
Henry Cabot Lodge, United
States Ambassador to Saigon,
is being recalled for consulta-
ton. They believe a showdown
in American relations with Mr..
Diem is nearing.
Like the U. N, Washington
is pressing for reform. But the
United States wants the pres
sure kept carefully under con-
troll, so that the war against
the Communist Wet Cong will
not be damaged.

The team arrived in Saigon
yesterday to probe charges of
persecution Of Buddhists by the
predominantly Roman Cath

sists Of diplomats from Afghan
istan, Brazil. Ceylon, Costa
Rica. Dahomey, Morocco and
Nepal.
The group Immediately ran
into difficulties. Mr.. Diem and
his aides had mapped out a de-
tailed schedule governing where
the team would go, whom it
would see, and when. No in
terviews with Buddhist dissi-
dents we're included.
RedOubled Fury Seen
Specifically Mr.. Diem barred
a consultation with THIGH Tri
Quang. a principal leader of the
Buddhist protest movement who
has taken asylum in the United
States Embassy.
Can Associated Press dis
patch from Saigon reported a
spokesman for the U. N. team
indicated it has not accepted
wholly the Wet Namese gov
ernment's itinerary for its
two-weeks Stay0
Mr.. Thant has protested to
the United States delegation
here privately, pointing out
that Mr. Diem's action will
simply redouble the fury of
the U. N. Assembly majority.
United States bassador|
Adlai E. Stevenson is described
as sympathetic with Mr..
Thant'S view.
However. sources said the
State Department had still not
decided to defy Mr.. Diem and
let the U. N. team talk to
THIGH Tri Quang.
Mr.. Diem invited the U. N.
group to South Wet Nam, and
offered to pay all its expenses. /
1t presumably is on this basis
that the President seeks to
control its movements. |
Face Saver Allowed
However, diplomats here say .
the invitation was accepted
as a courtesy. An As |
sembly majority was prepared .
to vote its own investigation. |
The majority felt Mr.. Diem's

were allowed to pose as the
of the idea.

to the airfields and loaded in
eight hours" Gen. Dunn said
He conceded that if the stock
piles were overrun. an armored
or infantry division would have
to go to Europe by ship so 1t
could take its tanks, big guns
and trucks along. Such a move
ment would require weeks.
Could Be Faster
Gen. Paul Adams, the United
States strike command chief
said at Fort Hood that. if a
war emergency doomed, United
States forces could be rushed
to Europe faster than in Big
Lift.
Gen. Adams noted that the
United States could comman-
deer commercial airliners to
augment military transport in
carrying soldiers.
What about fighter cover?
In war. unarmed United
States transport planes would
have to run a gauntlet = they
could not drop serenely into
West Germany as they did dur
ing Big Lift. The United States
Air Force, aided by the German
air force and other NATO ele-
mentS, would have to clear the
skies.
Jets on Hand
The United States would use
its Jets already in Europe and
send others from the United
states - a reinforcement that
could take less than half a day.
Such fast, powerful Jets as
the F-l05 and F-100, which
crossed the Atlantic separately
as part of Big Lift. might fly
escort for transports in a war
situation.
Even then, there would be
losses.
Anything and everything
that could be used to protect
the transports would be used"

House Administration Com

plored such things as liberal
spending of counterpart funds

Per Diem Allowance
The bill would establish per
diem allowances for foreign
trips on top Of stipulated trans
portation costs. In general the
per diem would be the same as
is set for such official trips
within the United States. Ad-
justments could be allowed be-
cause of varying costs Of living
in different countries.

'NAGGING LAID
TO REPUBLICANS
BY MCCORMACK

House Speaker McCor-
mack complained yester-
daythat many Republican
Congressman are engag-
ing in "nagging politics"
"And nobody likes a
nagger." he added.
Mr.. Mccormack, talking
with reporters after a
breakfast conference of
Democratic congressional
leaders with President
Kennedy at the White
House, mentioned partic-
ularly what he called

publicans to a bill to in

similar Recommendation. Use of
counterpart funds, local cur
rencies owned by the United
States abroad, would have to be
reported not only by the mem
ber but also by the State De-
partment agency supplying
such funds. The Defense De-
partment would have to provide
cost reports for transportation
of members going abroad in
military aircraft.
Publication Mandatory
All such reports would go to
the House Administration Com
mittee and be published in the
Congressional Record.
Among other things the
House-approved bill would ban
foreign trips by ''lame duck"
members defeated for re-elec-
ton or voluntarily retiring
from Congress. Foreign travel
expense reports filed earlier
this year showed that several
House and Senate members in
that category Travelled on ex-
tensive trips after the 1862
election.

your deduction is for loss

was discovered;
You were the owner of the

show the cost and cancelled

A final note: If you are
covered TO any extent by
insurance or otherwise expect
to recover part or all of your
loss, you must reduce your
casualty loss deduction for
1862 by the amount you ex-
pect to recover, even though
you didn't collect that in
surance in 1862.
For instance. If you had a
$4,000 fire loss In 1862 for
which you put in an in
surance claim of $4,000, you
deduct only $4,000 as a cas-
ualty loss on your 1862 re-

900 in 1868 in settlement of
your insurance claim, you
then can deduct another ST.

difference.
