FOURTEEN MEDFORD- (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE T4ar. rabraary It. 1131 Russia War Strength Figured at 2,000,000 Men Now Under Arms Mi I'lul Nwom By PHIL NEWSOM U.P. Foreign Newt Editor While the nations o the North Atlantic Treaty Organization are planning their European army, let s see wnai the Russians are believed to have. As opposed to the 1,430, 000 man Euro pean army p 1 a n n e d for some time in 1953, officers at Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhow er's headquar ters estimate the Russians to have 2,000,000 men under arms now. United Press correspondent Kenneth Miller talked to French, British and American officers at Eisenhower's headquarters and from them drew this interesting comparison: Russia is in better shape to start a war now than the Germans were on the eve of World War II. : Here is how these officers broke it down: 175 Russian Divisions , s Army: Russia has more than 2,000,000 soldiers in 175 divis ions including 65 armored and mechanized units plus 40 artil lery divisions. Germany had only a little more than half this num ber, , i Navy: Russia has 300 schnorkel-equipped submarines com pared to 50 or 60 for 1939 Ger many, although their techniques, are weaker. Air: The Soviets have upward TO 3 FLIGHTS EVERY DAY From Son Francisco Airport .. 8:20 AM 1:15 PM 6:15 PM Additional flights on week ends far mentions set yottr travel sgeat ur - Ph.ii. 2.5851 Southvest Aimays of 20,000 planes, not all first line but including an improved ver sion of their excellent MIG-15 jet fighter. Hitler had 7,000 when he rolled into Poland. Steel: Russia's production now is 31,500,000 tons yearly, accord ing to latest published Soviet re ports. German output was 22, 000,000 tons in 1939. Ik Has 25 Division! As of now, and not what he hopes to have at some future date, Eisenhower has some 25 di visions, some still mostly on paper. The whole emphasis of Eisenhower's army is being placed on its defensive nature. In the event of Russian aggres sion, the Allied supreme head quarters hopes to offset the dis parity in numbers with this for mula: Strong covering forces along the German Austrian contact line with Russia, backed up by strong air power. These screen ing and holding forces would re sist long enough to allow mobil ization of the free-world re serves. Air Power Weak Point About 18 divisions now are in the occupation zones, and a high SHAPE officer described them "as good as any in the world." They face about 25 Communist units in Germany and Poland. So far, one of the weakest points in the plan is Allied air power. SAWDUST INTO BERRIES Kingston, R. I.
