Atom Peace Boat
Proposed By Ike
NEW YORK (APi —President
Eisenhower Monday unveiled
plans for a goodwill world cruise
by an atomic powered peace ship.
His plan was a takeoff in reverse
on the "big stick" policy of near
ly half a century ago.
"Visiting the ports of the
world." he said of his proposed
atomic merchant ship, “it will
demonstrate to people every
where this peacetime use of
atomic energy, harnessed for the
improvement of human living."
. The nation already has an
atomic submarine afloat and a
.second in the works. However.
Red Army Ready,
Military Men Say
WASHINGTON (AP)—Mili
tary leaders have told CongTess
the mammoth Russian army is
virtually on a war footing and
that Red China's air force could
be doubled or tripled “overnight"
by the Soviets.
The reports were made to a
House -appropriations subcom
mittee at secret sessions last
February but were not made pub
lic until Monday.
Assessing the strength of the
Russian army. Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway said it has received new
atomic warfare training and is
"equipped and disposed to under
take a major war with little
■warning.”
The Army chief of staff de
scribed it as the most powerful
land force in the world, “in an
excellent state of combat readi
ness."
Gen. Nathan F. Twining, Air
Force chief of staff, reported on
the air potential of the Red
Chinese.
Eisenhower chose to dramatize
peace rather than might with an
entirely new atomic merchant
ship to carry America’s message
to the world.
Reverse Act
Thus he acted in reverse of the
i historic 1907 gesture by Presi
dent Theodore Roosevelt, who
dispatched a battleship fleet
around the world to focup atten
i tion on America’s fighting power.
President Eisenhower disclosed
his latest atoms-for-peace plan
at the annual luncheon of The
Associated Press at the Waldorf
Astoria hotel.
Flown here from Washington
for the occasion, the president's
plane, the Columbine, had to
land on instruments because of
an unspringlike fog and cold
drizzle that gripped the city.
The takeoff for the return to
Washington Monday afternoon
also was on instruments as the
fog persisted.
Early in his 4000 word text, the
President sprung his idea for an
atomic peace ship in these words:
Developing Specifications
“We have added to the United
States program for peaceful uses
of atomic energy an atomic
powered merchant ship. The.
Atomic Energy commission and
the Maritime administration are
now developing specifications.
“I shall shortly submit to the
Congress a request for the neces- |
sary funds, together with a de
scription of the vessel.
“The new ship, powered with
an atomic reactor, will not re
quire refueling for scores of
thousands of miles of operation.
Visiting the ports of the world,
it would demonstrate to people
everywhere this peace-time use
of atomic energy, harnessed for
improvement of human living."
