Tbs StdtMouofe Salem, Ore4" Tactical Use of A-Bomb Cited NEW YORK, Dec. 2M)-The time has come to think of using the A-bomb against armies, says Dr. Vannevar Bush who was head science man In World War Two. Dr. Bush tells his revolutionary views in the January Reader's Digest in an article, "The Weapons We Need For Freedom." He says the Red hierarchy may become able to prevent delivery of atom bombs onto its great indus trial and administrative centers. "The danger point will have ar rived.' he says Of that period. "At that time we must be able to stop their armies. We -need to think of the A bomb as a tactical weapon to stop treat armies. It may even be true that we would De nearer rism. au thines considered, to think in these terms today." x z x Russia may be able to stop our A-bomb In of her industrial centers. Dr. Bush says, by developing radar warning nets, anti-air cralt artil lery, ground-controlled intercep tion with jet crart ana ground to ut missiles. . These latter missiles be says will travel at bullet speed along radar beam. They will be the key defense against high-altitude attack. They will carry heavy charges and proximity fuses. Dr. Bush intimates wt have a few ef these, but not in quantity , and not in tested reliability. He thinks the Navy will remain as important as ever but will be auite different. It won t use hat tleships. It probably .will have to produce high-speed ships to carry men and munitions because that will be the best way to avoid tor pedoes from submarines. : Dr. Bush says most of the sub marine equipment we used in World War Two appears to have been made obsolete by the new homing torpedo. We have new, light-weight anti tank guns, which a jeep can carry, that will pierce the armor of the strongest tank likely to be built and probably make hits on the first shot at almost a mile (1500 yards). Of this new gun he says: There has appeared a new anti tank weapon of great power which Jean render the heavy tank largely obsolete, ima is important, lor tne Russians are said to have 40,000 tanks, many , of them heavies. Their whole doctrine of land war fare revolves about tanks and massed artillery to prepare the way" xxx Detroit Area Couples On Trip to California i. ?

Opinions Split Sharply Over Hoover Speech (Story also on page one.) WASHINGTON, Dec- 20 -(JP) Members of congress split sharp ly tonight over former President nauen a iro.u "& America's defense lines should be the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. and important Islands in them. and not European or Asian land masses. Senator Taft (R-Ohio) said he agreed with "many of the general principles" Hoover stated. Sena tor Lehman (D-NY) objected the speech was "a plea for a return to complete isolatinism."

In fact, the sen ate appropriations committee wrote in more than $2,000,000,000 over and above the huge funds already approved by the house. and considerably more than Mr Truman himself requested. The bouse bad acted before Mr. Truman and defense leaders sent up additional requests to strength en the nation's fighting forces. Part of the air force expend! tures will go Into building up thf service from groups to Be oy June, 1951, and to 84 groups a year later.
