Oregon Tuesday, January 17, 1956 Eight Pages No. 35 THE Air Force, Army in Row On Training V A-aUI.Wl UN (UP, A newf air policy iw between Ue Army and Air Force raged today over an Air f orce proposal to take over training of all Army helicopter pilots. The Air Force proposal has irawn strong objections from members of the-House and Sen ate, with the result that the De fense Department has now post pncd a final decision on It, the United Press learned. The controversy involves the training of some 600 caro heli copter pilots for the Army annual ly. In the background is tiie grow ing feud between the Air Force t' and Army over the increasing strength of the Army's air arm. The controversy started late last full when the Army said it planned to turn over the primary tminin.; of its cargo helicopter pilots to private civilian schools as an econ omy move. The Air Force objected and won a Defense Department ruling that it should give the helicopter pilots their primary training. ' On learning of this decision. Army .Secretary Wilber M. Bruck er "hit the ceiling," an associate said. Congressional objections later were raised also. The Defense Department then backed down and postponed a final decision. Now a settlement of the controversy awaits the return of Deputy Defense Secretary Reuben B. Robertson Jr. from Europe. To both sides, the helicopter pilot training program has become another symbol in the increasingly acrid tight over the role of Army aviation. To the Army, the training is but another part of what it con siders a vital policy or giving atomic age mobility to the soldier by taking to the air. But to the Air Force, the,: mow? - nepresents another Army intrusion into what it considers its realm in the air. Ski Outlook Very Good At Skyliners Three inches of new snow at Skyliner's winter playground Mon day made skiing prospects very good again, after heavy rains put a damper on skiing activities Sun day. Sledding was reported as "only fair.". The rink is being flooded again and ice skating should get under way soon, providing the weather man cooperates. Flooding started last Friday, but snow, and then rain, interfered. Skyliner officials were alarmed about the membership drive. It has fallen way below expectations fo far, and a sustained drive is desperately needed. Membership cards can be obtained at the area. They also sent out an urgent plea for a carpenter to work -at the area for a day or two. Any volunteers would be greatly appre ciated. Night skiing is expected to start soon. Again volunteer labor could greatly speed up the process. March of Dimes Fund Climbing Special to T!"'

Where Warns Regret Noted For Reaction To Life Article WASHINGTON (UP) -Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said today aggressors must know In ad vance tliat the United Suites would go to war if necessary to defend "its vital Interests." Slopping squarely lnlo tlu raging controversy over Ills recent "brink of war" remarks. Dulles told a news conference It Is Important that tho world should know Ihe United States Is ready to defend its basic moral values and vital Interests, "if need lie by life itself." . Dulles said he reirretted some of the reaction to the "brink of war" article in Ufe magazine and said ne would not have said some things in the exact way they were written. But he stood firm on the policy of warning that aggression could mean war. Devoted To Peace I believe that the IJnllwl sti.,. should adopt every honorable course to avoid engagement In war," he said. "Indeed, I have devoted my whole life to the pur suit of a just and durable peace." , Dulles told his news conference: "It la necessary to be mtttent. It la necessary to be eoneinmra-v It Is necessary to make our nenrn a vnai im-ce for Justice and hu man wettare so that all men will aspire to share that kind of peaceJ1 Dulles cited as a dividend on Ihe" policy of deterrence a belief that Red Chna feels tho United Sl..h will Hglit to defend Formosa and Ihe Pescadores if the Oimmunlsts should attack the offshore islands. ', In the controversial Life maim. zlne Interview, "Dulles had been quoted as saying: "You have to take chances for peace, just a you must take! chances in war. Some say that we were Drought to the verire of war. Of course we wero brought to the verge of war. ' "The ability to get to the veree without getting Into the war Is the necessary art. If you cannot mas ter it, you Inevitably get Into warr If you try to run away from It, It you are scared to go to die brink. you are lost. We've hnd to look It square in the face on the question of enlarging the Korean War, the question of getting Into the Indo- :hina War, ' on the question . of Formosa. We walked to the brink and we looked It In the face. We took strong action' The Interview caused an uproar at home and abroad, particularly (lie reference to "the ability to get to the verge of war." The secretary's main quarrel with the Life magazine article was with the "verge of war" quote. Different Words He said parts of this particular quote, standing alone, were some- what ambiguous. And he said such article dealing with complex foreign subjects Inevitably tended lo "oversimplification and speclul 'mphasis. . Dulles said this was a reflection on his views, but that he himself never would have expressed II in that way.
