A-6 i •• THE SUNDAY STAR, Washington, D. C. stmoAx, sran. as. tssx NATO Chiefs Review West Defense Strategy Continued Prom Pint Pape therriselves. does the Western world need two distinct armed forces one “retaliatory.” in case we want to destroy Russia, and the other "containing,” to handle smaller local aggressions. The containing army would fight a small war to the finish with out ever calling on SAC or the V-bombers. It would never plan to enter Iron Curtain territory. New Conditions If the newly proposed strategy is accepted—and not only NATO generals like Montgomery and Norstad, but also Whitehall and State Department thinkers are seriously examining it—several new conditions would prevail! First, the Western and Com munist camps would be brought into a new relation to each other, a relation which It is thought might be safer for the world. • Second, taxpayers, particularly In America, would have to buy a better NATO army, equipped with expensive new atomic weapons. Third, European allies who have some doubts about NATO and the possible boomeranging power behind it would feel safer in supporting the grand alliance. The new strategic idea is a natural outgrowth of the West's* defensive evolution. To under-' stand it. one must go back to 1951 when the European nations first made up their minds what kind of defense they wanted. The Communists then were fighting in Korea. The world wondered if some European country would be next. The NATO leaders’ meeting in Lisbon. Portugal, decided that about 90 divisions would be needed to protect the North At lantic Community from Russian aggression. It was assumed that decisive battles would be fought on the ground by NATO, which would hold off the enemy long enough for America's budding nuclear power to be brought into action. This long range, atomic power was not and still is not part of NATO. But it has been there since the start of NATO, ready to deliver the knockout blow. More and better atomic wea pons were developed into post- Lisbon years, until by 1954 it became clear that an entire de fensive system. NATO, could be built around nuclear weapons. So a second basic decision was made to reduce the planned strength of NATO to one-third, about 30 divisions, and give it modern weapons. It was assumed that the small er. stronger force could check an Invasion for perhaps a month long enough for the ever-growing SAC retaliatory force to break Russia’s back. This strategy was explained to Russia carefully and repeatedly. It was made clear that aggression could be held and that the holding operation would be followed almost imme diately by atomic devastation of Russia. NATO is Shield This is still the basic strategy NATO is the shield, holding off the Russians. SAC and now Bri tain's V-bombers make up the sword which will automatically arc through the sky and make mincemeat of the aggressor. But since the 1954 decision, both Russia and the West have increased their retaliatory power until today both sides assume the other can and will wipe it out in case of war. Russia cannot stop the American and European based long-range bombers. But neither can Russia's atomic bombers be stopped. So, it is now assumed further, neither side will start World War 111. For no matter who starts it. both will be destroyed. The question now is whether It is wise for the West to put all its eggs in that horrible basket. A retaliatory threat will not deter war unless the other side is con vinced the West will use its big bombers. But to use them is suicide. Still, the West is without a doubt committed to use them. j But what if Russia miscalcu lates slightly and moves tenta tively against the West? Or ! what if Russia decides to probe cautiously at the Western de fense Just to see what will really j happen? Or supposing some reckless border commander in the satellite countries does something he shouldn't? Does the West want to start a suicidal World War 111 over: that? NATO to Take Up Issue Os A-Weapons vs. Gl BONN, Germany, April 27 OP). —NATO foreign ministers un doubtedly will tackle next week end the vital question: How far should the Western alliance go in substituting tactical atomic weapons for the foot soldier and conventional arms? For three days, beginning Thursday, the 15 foreign minis ters of the North Atlantic Treaty nations will wrestle with military and political Issues bearing heav. ily on the future of the defense organization. West Germany's Chancellor Konrad Adenauer officially opens the conference at a big recep tion. There will be two sessions dally Thursday and Friday and a Anal meeting Saturday morn ing. In addition to these full ses sions. there will be many private meetings among the foreign min isters. United States Secretary of State Dulles has scheduled talks with Mr. Adenauer. British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd and others. Mr. Dulles also has arranged to meet with James Richards,! President Eisenhower’s special representative to the Middle East, .to hear a first-hand report on the crisis in that area. While no specific agenda has pet been announced, it appears certain these problems will come to the forefront: m s It is logical to suggest here i that the West have two armies. I The containing army would be i ultramodern, mobile, small. It , would be able to push the Com , munists back behind the line . without bringing SAC and the t V-bombers into play and with . out threatening Russia's stra > tegic air command (for once i Russia's ultimate counter weap . on, its SAC, were threatened, it would have to use that weapon r or admit defeat). ' The shield would be used 1 without the sword. [ Local wars then could be kept : local, but the retaliatory army would still be there to deter a general outbreak. There is another attraction to [ this plan. NATO in fact has never had its 60 division army ‘ or even its atomic-age minimum army of 30 divisions. It could , muster only half of that mini-1 , mum, and many units of the I t half are unavailable (most 1 , French units, for Instance, are fighting the rebels in Algeria). , NATO floundering i somewhere between the “trip , wire” concept (a thin' line of 1 soldiers along the frontier who can ring the alarm for SAC if | the Reds invade) and the concept. The NATO army has been too small to be i a real shield and too large to , benefit from the economy of the! -trip wire. Possible Drawbacks ; The trip-wire idea has draw • backs. European nations which -would be overrun by the Rus sians in the process of tripping 1 the wire might well prefer to ; become, cold-war neutrals and ■ abandon NATO and the West ’ There is enough trip-wire think-; 1 ing among NATO country politi • cal leaders, however, to make ; them satisfied with a weak shield 1 and delay—perhaps forever—its ! creation. 'i But the two-force idea might 1 make enough sense to stiffen NATO-nation support of a tough ’ Western defense. If aggression could be stopped without World 1 War 111 suicide, then European 1 nations might be happy to buy the plan. To create thq double army,/ there would have to be a clean separation between NATO and the retaliatory backstop. It would have to be stated clearly to Rus sia that the NATO army will, stop a small aggression without• SAC and V-bomber support. l Otherwise Russia would use its j retaliatory power on a war; that the containing army could handle. 1 Meanwhile the NATO army , would have to be made truly ; effective. The expected German con | tribution of five divisions this . year and several more soon after , will bring NATO at least closer to the shield goal. But all NATO units would have to be /modernized and equipped with small, tactical atomic weapons. This would be expensive. Need “Dual Weapons” Today this modern force ex ists only in the form of a 6.000- man American nuclear unit in Italy, the American A-weapon equipped 6th Fleet in the Med iterranean, and the British and American tactical air units sta tioned in Europe. Other NATO units will need perhaps "dual"! weapons, capable of firing or dropping either TNT or atomic projectiles. The atomic warheads would have to come from America, which is prohibited by law from giving them to its allies, or Brit ain. which has too few. i The use and capability of small atomic weapons will have to be studied. Perhaps the look of NATO will have to be altered to use these weapons to the best effect. And military Vnd civilian leaders will have to find sure fire methods of keeping a small, ''containing'' atomic war from snowballing into a large, “re taliatory," war. All these things will be grist | for the NATO foreign ministers mill in Bonn this week. No one knows whether a new basic NATO concept will emerge jor whether the proposal will be i subjected to further scrutiny. But there is a growing realiza ; tion that time has overtaken the earlier NATO defensive con cept and that a defense plan based on the certainty of mu ':tual suicide calls for a sober second look. 1. The British decision to cut back its troop strength and place primary Fellance on the retalia tory strength of atomic weapons. 2. The proposals for the United States to tram and arm Its NATO partners with tactical atomic weapons 3. The question of whether atomic and hydrogen homos should be stored on the Euro pean continent, particularly in West Oermany. 4. The British proposal to place the Cyprus dispute, in which Oreece and Turkey are Involved, before NATO. 5. A call, tentatively supported by the United States and West Oermany, but opposed by Nor way, to bring Franco's Spain into NATO. 6. The warnings from the So viet Union to the NATO allies ;not to permit the United States to use their soil for atomic bases There is no way of telling In advance whether the ministers will supply a definite answer to the military future of the West— either major swing to atomic weapons or a continued compro mise between A-weapons and conventional armaments. But the time clearly has come when a final answer must be shaped, and the Bonn session may turn out to be the time. -xxawfM Tqnap Ml v ' irtj-*-' ■PKM . ■' / 4 1Pap ~ k i .. - fM % r ' TP k , M ' I|l A m || m h£ WELCOME VlSlTOß—Egypt’s President Nasser (felt), greets President Shukri Kuwatly of Syria at an airport near Cairo yesterday.

United States State Depart- Saud Praises Hussein For Subduing Jordan Continued From First Page new quarter. Among telegrams from mayors pledging loyalty to him yesterday came a few from the west bank of the Jordan, where Influential Suleiman Tou kan once was mayor of Nablus. That section, inhabited largely by Palestine Arab refugees, has been a hotbed of pro-Egyptian and Communist agitation. Must Tread Cautiously The King has depended for his main strength on the Bedouin people of Jordan's original ter ritory. This element rallied to him recently to keep dissident officers from challenging his au thority with his army, the Arab Legion. Communist propaganda has made such deep Inroads among Jordanians in the last year that : King and government must tread cautiously in their campaign to win back popular support. So the moderate government has taken up a few of the Issues the Com munists themselves made popu lar in their campaign to discredit the West. On the issue of the Eisenhower Doctrine, they have turned the tables on the Reds and the Na bulsi cabinet, which Hussein de posed April 10, starting the cur rent. crisis. The Communists made the Eisenhower Doctrine a dirty word. They convinced many peo ple it was an imperialist device to destroy Jordan’s sovereignty. Propaganda Snarled Cp When Mr. Eisenhower sent Bpeclal Envoy James P. Richards to the Middle East to explain the doctrine and arrange financial aid for those countries using it, 'the Communists made this an explosive issue. Mr. Nabulsi wanted Mr. Rich ards to visit Jordan. He wanted ! American financial help, which Jordan sorely needs. But Mr. Nabulsi got snarled up in propaganda put out by the leftists In his own government, though not one himself. So he had to hedge on the In vitation to Mr. Richards. In a fiery speech just before he was fired, Mr. Nabuls! said:* “If the United States offered me SIOO million and said 'it's yours if you will fight commu nism.’ I would reject it if this means that I must fight com munism for the United States." The Communists got hold of the speech, distorted It and broadcast it. Mr. Nabulsi later put out a correction but the damage already was done. Now Hussein has used the Issue against the Reds and the once popular Nabulsi. saying: “It was the Nabulsi govern ment which invited Richards and asked for American financial aid. We here announce that It Is not our policy to Invite Rich ards, and Jordan's policy toward the Eisenhower Doctrine will be decided in agreement with other Arab liberated states." Syria Denies Pullout Demand In Damascus, a government communique denied Jordan had asked Syria to pull Its troops out of Jordanian territory. Between 3.000 and 6.000 Syr ian troops are reported in North ern Jordan, where the slut of Iment Press Officer Lincoln White told a news conference yesterday ' Washington has been “in close touch”’ with Egypt and other Middle East countries to make clear United States for the Independence of Jordan.’ Mr. Hatem's statement said: "Egypt is more jealous than any other country of securing Jordan’s Independence and secu rity. Any harm that befalls Jor dan's independence and security I affects all Arab countries.” i United States Ambassador Ray* I mond Hare has had no an nounced appointments with Egyp tian government officials since 1 he saw Foreign Minister Mah moud Fawzi last Tuesday on the Suez Canal. them were sent last fall at the time Israel invaded Egypt. The communique said the Syrian army was in Jordan only “to face the common Israeli enemy and to demonstrate Arab unity against any Zionist aggression.": A Moscow dispatch noted that Soviet behavior differs from that at the time of the invasion of Egypt, when the papers sug gested that Soviet "volunteers” might intervene on Egypt's side. LABOR j Continued From First Page ing to information obtained by the committee, has done per sonal work for Beck. "We won’t need them If Beck will come in and answer the questions." the committee coun sel added. Mr. Kennedy said it would not' jbe necessary to postpone the ad ditional hearings on Beck even if the missing men cannot be located. The hearings may be held next month. Mr. Kennedy declined to name the companies involved. He said the men sought by the commit-: tee are officers in companies which had dealings "with several insurance companies and banks which have gained materially In their dealings with the Teams ters ” Beck, in his appearance before the commute, was told that he "may have misappropriated" more than $320,000 of Teamsters Union funds in the 1949-1953 period. After taking the Fifth Amend ment. the Teamsters boss was suspended by the AFL-CIO Exec utive Council as a council mem ber and vice president of the federation. A hearing for him has been set by the council for May 20. The AFL-CIO Ethical Prac tices Commute has set May 6 as the date for a hearing for the union itself on charges that It may be dominated substantially by “corrupt influences.” In addi tion to Beck, several top Teams-, ters Union officials are facing charges In connection with their activities. Mentioned Tax Probe At the time of his appearance before the tycClellan commit tee, Beck gave as one reason for his refusal to answer ques tions the fact that an income tax investigation was being con-| ducted against him. Since then; he has said his answers to the questions would “blow the lid' off the Senate.” Several committee members plan to question Beck about this statement when he reappears. The committee will hold a public session tomorrow to hear ; E. P. Bettendorf, Texarkana, Tex., contractor whole name fig ured in the investigation of union violence In Scranton, Pa. Bettendorf requested the hear ing “to clear my name."

Three Teamsters officials arc un der Federal indictments in the case. | Britain Calls Suez Users to Meet Tuesday LONDON, April 27 (IP).—Brit ain tonight called for a meeting of the Suez Canal Users’ Asso ciation in London Tuesday to discuss Egypt’s new plan for running the great waterway. There were reports Britain has decided to allow British ships to use the canal, although it op posed the Egyptian plan in de bate before the United Nations Security Council In New York yesterday. Britain took the position at the United Nations that the Egyptian declaration cannot be regarded as a final settlement. Sir Pierson Dixon of Britain, council president, said the plan needed study and his govern ment “may wish to consult with other user governments not rep resented on the council.” This apparently was the rea son for the Foreign Office an nouncement here that SCUA has been called to meet in London. Plan Given Wednesday Egypt submitted its plan to the United Nations Wednesday. It calls for Egyptian operation of the canal, but agrees to arbi tration of complaints of dis crimination and claims for com pensation. The World Court also would be allowed to decide disputes over interpretation of the 1888 Con stantinople Convention for free dom of navigation in the canal. The United States, the Philip pines and Nationalist China said in United Nations debate they were willing to give the Egyptian plan a try. Britain. Australia, Colombia. Cuba, France and Sweden called for replacement of the Egyptian plan by an international agree ment. ■ Britain has cautioned British ] ships to stay clear of the canal pending a final settlement, but one British vessel already has used the waterway. British Acceptance Foreseen Diplomats here said Britain now appears to be moving to ward accepting the Egyptian plan, because it is unlikely it; could be improved much from the British standpoint. It was believed Britain is be ginning to feel it would be better to accept an unsatisfactory situ ation under protest than to con tinue an argument at the high cost of not using the now-cleared canal. Only last night Harold Wat kinson. British Minister of. Transport, said President Nas ser's terms for the use of the canal contain “some of the nec jessary safeguards.” He said that while they do not meet requirements set down by ■ the Security Council “much could depend on how they are j interpreted and applied by the j Egyptian Canal Authority/] EISENHOWER Continued From First Page will succeed Joseph C.

April 27 (IP). —Prince Philip ducked quietly out of an official city reception today and mingled with thousands of Welsh folk. His bodyguards didn't notice him go The result: A near-melee as dozens of surprised women fought to get close enough to touch Queen Elizabeth's hus band. Policemen were called in to hold them back. Philip spent some time strolling among the throng, pausing now and again for a chat with people he met. After returning to the reception he told Cardiff officials: “I just wanted to meet the people.” Such informal mixing with non-official groups is rare for members of Britain's royal family, but several news papers lately have been urging royal advisers to relax the rules. Philip visited the Welsh capital to receive the freedom of the city. He slipped away on his unscheduled stroll dur ing a tea-drinking reception attended by 200 official quests.

We have already learned many im portant facU from our tests with the hydrogen explosion. I, for one. have some misgiv ings about our negotiations for a so-called “open sky.” I would suggest that from above the sur face, even with the most sensi tive equipment, we will be able to see only what the Russians allow us to see. Until we have full and equal inspection on the ground as well as underground, we may find ourselves in a posi tion where we are likely to lose more than we can gain. Nuclear Blasts "Bullying” At the very moment the Rus sians are bullying us and our allies with their large assortment of nuclear explosions, they are attempting, at the same time, to deceive the world by saying they are prepared to stop their own tests, on the condition Britain and the United States agree in advance to stop their tests. For one thing, let us remind the Rus sians that when we make agree ments, we keep them. The Rus sians have another code when it comes to agreements. They keep only the ones that suit their pur- j poses. Therefore, I am of the opinion that there can be no agreement on nuclear tests nr nuclear weapons control except under a system of rigorous and continuous mutual inspection. I would ask the Russians if they are prepared to let our inspec tors see for themselves what they are really doing. If not, we must remain on guard and con tinue to suspect the intentiong and motives of the Russians. This is a state of affairs which the world cannot too long en dure. All the peoples of the earth want peace, but the Rus sian communist dictatorship per- i sists in blocking it. For 12 years, since the end of World War H, the Kremlin dic tatorship has not ceased its re lentless harassment of every es-i fort the West has made to reach a working agreement with Rus sia. No Threat of Aggression The cold war persists even after the death of Stalin, and the brief campaign of de-Stalin-1 lzatlon that intrigued the world tempted some of our people to hope that a new Russia had* ! emerged. Russia has known all along that she has nothing to fear from us in the way of aggression. All she needs to do in the interest of her security is to attend to her own business and leave the! rest of the world alone, as we do. We have no territorial ambitions, nor are we interested in build-1 ing up an empire of satellite • ! states, Quite to the contrary, we ■ have been encouraging and help > ing self-determination and ln . dependence everywhere for all i peoples who feel ready for it. But the Soviets are again using the pretense that the United States is doing everything pos sible to encircle Russia. The masters of the Kremlin know full . well that the United States and . her friends and allies act solely i for defense and for no other purpose. That is true even in the face of constant Russian trucu lence, subversion and infiltration. We have only to look at the re cent troubles they have stirred up in the Middle East. They are back at their old tactics of simultaneously offer ing peace pacts and threatening to unleash a “hot” war upon those nations that stand up to them and refuse to submit to their terms. The Soviets would have us settle for what they call "co existence.” Their idea of co existence is, in reality, a nervous and perilous truce which could lead to war. Co-existence is Rus sia’s device to avoid making the necessary concessions for, an asured world peace. In fact, co existence is Russia’s idea of mak ing everybody do what Russia wants. There are some people, and I regreat to say some governments, who have not yet accepted the fact that but for Russian intran sigence the world would now be enjoying the pursuits of peace. Mankind today is sick with anx iety and torn by fear of another world war, solely because Rus sia wants it that way. It is up to Russia to dispel the belief that she cannot achieve her legitimate aims in a free and peaceful world. She can achieve peace, if she really wants it, as all other nations do. For if Russian performance /were up to its pretended peace ful propaganda, there would have been no conflict in Korea, no Far East crisis and no Middle East crisis. There would have been no slaughter of Polish and Hungarian people, and no crush ing burdens of an armaments race. Tha world would be di recting its energies toward pro duction for peace and the im provement of the standards of living of all peoples everywhere. Urges Real Bi-Partisanship Every attempt to reason with the Russian dictators and every effort at reasonable compromise and conciliation have failed. More than ever now our for eign policy needs to be clear and /unmistakable. Let us stop run ning around the globe with disjointed pieces of policy pulled out of the air and made on the fly. Let us have real frankness and bi-partisanship in the ad ministration's relations with Congress. We must check the growing skepticism that in our foreign policy we don't know where we are going or what we are doing. Above all, let us be sure that the Russians and our allies do not continue to have that idea. Reteaaed by North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc.
