Radford Strategy PlansEl"
Stir Revolt in Services'T!f.5'ke
Ideas Shelved
Until After
Election
NEW YORK i-The New York
Times said today that strategic
planning of America's defense re
portedly has been halted until
after the November election be
cause of a "revolt" by the chiefs
of the three armed forces against
' Adm. Arthur W. Radford.
A proposal by Radford, chair-;
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
to slash the nation's armed forces!
by about 800,000 men by 1900 was
said to have united the service;
chiefs in vigorous protest against
his ideas.
In a dispatch from Washington,
the Times said the three chiefs
objected to Radford's proposal on
dip grounds the reduction would
sffrivel U.S. armed force contribu
tions to the defense of Europe.
rThe Times said:
'''The political implications of
his concept of policy for three
years ahead, signifying in effect
a .withdrawal to a fortress Amer
ica, were reported
alarmed high Defense
officials. The result
to put strategic planning 'on ice
until after the election.
Who gave the stop order was
not learned but it was assumed
that it was either Defense Secre
tary Charles E. Wilson or Reuben
B. Robertson Jr., his deputy.
Both exert influence over plan
ning the "new look" in defense for
the fiscal years 1058, 1959 and
1900. The service chiefs have been
engaged in the strategic planning
lor aoout two montns.
The Army reportedly was brac-
inn Itself for a possible cut of
80,000 to 100,000 men in the fiscal
year 1958 which starts next July
1, and It was estimated that such
a reduction would mean the with
drawal of 40,000 men from over
teas bases,
"Adm. Radford was reported to
be giving the impression to col
leagues that he had President
Eisenhower's support for his gen
eral objectives," the dispatch add
ed, "although it was believed his
highly controversial memorandum
on the reductions had not been
read by the President.
The chiefs of staff are: Army,
Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor; Air
Force, Gen. Nathan F. Twining;
and Navy, Adm. Arlcigh A. Burke.
The Times said sources familiar
with Radford's concept and views
summarized his proposals in this
way;
Protection of the nation's econ
omy is an overriding requirement
and the defense budget in lfino
must be held under 40 billion
dollars.
The objectives in this period.
would be to reduce the Army by
450,000 men, the Navy and Marine
Corps by 200,000 and the Air Force
by 150,000. '
Any war most likely would be a
general one, short, violent and in
volving nuclear weapons. Conse
quently, Army forces overseas
would be reduced to "token
forces" with atomic weapons.
In a war the Army would not
be committed, except for token
forces, because both mobilization
day and D-Day would be simul
taneous. Hence decisive action
might take place before the Army
could be shipped overseas.
The National Guard and Army
reserves would be employed in
civil defense and related roles.
The Strategic Air Command
would be the dominant force
and the Nnvy's primary mission
would be antisubmarine warfare.

THE
Soft on Rcdn' Remark.

By JACK HELL
WASHINGTON ifl-Several Re-

nrnHiiini ih Sm.li. uih nni
t aims.
!! Sen. Watkins (R-Utah) said Har
riman s evident intent in a speech
yesterday to hang a "soft on
communism" label on Eisenhower
"is an invitation for Republicans
to review again the miserable rec
ord of the Truman and Roosevelt
administrations on this issue."
Watkins said Harriman's state
ments arc "just a part of a des
perate attempt of a presidential
aspirant to win a nomination as
the leader of the ultraradicals of
the Democratic party."
Sen. Thye (R-Minn) described
as "fantastic" Harriman's conten
tion that Eisenhower, by crediting
Sovie' leaders with peace lims at
the Geneva conference last sum
mer, had naively paved the way
for great Communist gains.
"This, of course, is without any
foundation," Thye said. "If the
Democrats have chosen to make
this a campaign issue they will
find the people do not believe such
rubbish."

"If they have to consider a man
of this type as a possible presi
dential candidate, they have fallen
below the normal level of bank
ruptcy," he declared.
Aides said Harriman Vould
make no specific reply to a call
by Sen. Byrd (D-Va) that he spell
out what he would do as president
to make effective the Supreme
Court's order for racial integra
tion in the public schools.
Harriman said yesterday that if
he were elected he would use the
power ot the White House "posi
tively and firmly" to bring about
compliance. Byrd, who has advo
cated "massive resistance" to the
court's decision, asked in a state
ment: "Will he use force under, any
conditions whatever to compel
compliance? . . . Will he send
federal troops? Will he attempt to
coerce the Southern states by
denial of federal aid to which they
arc entitled? Does he favor jailing
or imposing fines on stale or local
officials?"
. At a National Press Club lunch
eon yesterday, Harriman said
there had been a "smear cam
paign" against him on the false
basis thai he would use troops to
enforce the decision. lie said that
was "not the American way,"

Look Askance
At 'Self-Rule'
By ROBERT TUCKMAN
NICOSIA, Cyprus in Some
Greek Cypriot leaders today were
reported ready to reject Britain's
new appeal for cooperation in
drafting a constitution and devel
oping self-government for Cyprus.
The latest British moves came
in a speech to Parliament by
Prime Minister Eden and a radio
broadcast here by Field Marshal
"tackle this problem one step at
a time" with patience and com
mon sense, Harding indicated he
would prefer to treat with secular
Cypriot leaders rather than with
exiled Archbishop Makarios and
other Greek Orthodox Church of
ficials. This appeared to be a major
barrier. Greek Cypriot leaders re
peatedly have demanded that Ma
karios, leader of the Enosis mov
ment to unite Cyprus with Greece,
be brought back from exile to par
ticipate in any new negotiations
on Ihe island's future.
Eden's statement contained no
reference to self-determination for
Cyprus, the top demand of Cyp-
riots seeking to' end British ruie
and join the island with Greece.
Eden said Britain will press plans
for self-government, but not "un
til terrorism has been overcome."
The Prime Minister also reject
ed suggestions that the Cyprus
dispute be put before the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization now,
a course reportedly favored by
the United States.
In his broadcast, Harding as
serted pro-Greek extremists are
beginning to crack under British
countermeasures. He said he
therefore saw no reason for fur
ther delay in developing self-government.
He warned, however, there will
be no letup in the drive to stamp
out underground violence.

Demos Taunt GOP for
MovetoVoidD-YPact
By G. MILTON KELLY
WASHINGTON W-The admin
istration's move to have the
courts declare "unlawful" its re
pudiated Dixon Yates contract
drew taunts today from Demo
cratic senators who said it will
be a campaign issue.
Sen. Gore (D-Tenni, a bitter
critic of the contract President
Eisenhower had ordered negotiat
ed with the Dixon-Yates private
power interests, said caustically
"It tfill be interesting" to hear
how the President explains this
in the coming election campaign
"He'll have ample opportunity,"
Gore said "because he'll be re
minded of it frequently." He said
Eisenhower was "personally and
officially responsible for the con
tract, and "repeatedly advocated
it and defended it.
Sen. Hiekeniooper (R-Iowa) said
In a separate interview he docsn t
see how it can be "anything like
a campaign issue if it's honestly
discussed, and 1 assume it will
be."
"The contract itself was a good
contract," Hiekeniooper said.
But Sen Kefauver (D-Tenn), a
candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination, said the
contract "was and is a scanda
lous thing." He said he hopes the
case is settled "prior to this fall's
elections."
The comments came after the
Justice Department yesterday
asked the U.S. Court of Claims
to throw out a Dixon-Yalcs suit
against the government. The suit
seeks $3 541.778.45 of payments by
the government for costs incurred
Less Painful
Right-of-Way
Policy Seen
Members of the legislative high
way interim committee meeting
here Thursday had as their main
topic for discussion' less painful
procedures for obtaining right-of-way
property for the highway de
partment. Sen. Warren McMinimce, Tilla
mook, chairman of the committee,
told of the dissatisfaction on the
part of residents whose property
is required by the state highway
commission and other state
agencies.
The committee considered the
creation of a board or adoption of
some other procedure for appraisal
and purchase of required land.
One member noted that creation
of such a board would result in
criticism from the highway depart
ment.
Also discussed by the committee
was the possibility of transferring
weighmaster 'functions from the
state highway commission to tho
state police or some other agency,

before the contract was canceled

political fight. i
The department asked the court
to declare the contract was "con
trary to public policy, unlawful,
and null and void" because of an
alleged dual role played in the
negotiations by Adolphe H. Wen
zell. It also advanced other rea
sons in demanding dismissal of

FRIDAY-JULY 13TH
MIDNITE
Gore and some other Democrat
ic senators had made similar ac
cusations regarding Wenzell's rola
in the negotiations even while the
government was going ahead with
the contract.
The suit had been brought by
the Dixon-Yates interests in tha
name of the Mississippi Valley
Generating Co. They had formed
this company to build and run
a 107-million-dollar private power
Eisenhower had ordered the
contract negotiated to replace cur
rent consumed by plants of the
Atomic Energy Commission from
TVA lines.
When the administration can
celed the contract, it did so on
grounds that need for the addi
tional power would be met by a
municipal plant the city of Mem
phis, Tenn., a TVA customer, had
decided to build.
Seeking dismissal of the Dixon
Yates suit, the Justice Department
argued that the canceled agree
ment never was "a final, binding
and oomplete contract;" that it
was technically faulty; and that
it contained some provision
which violated the public utility
holding company law.
