Radford Takes Duties
Of Joint Chiefs Head
At Simple Ceremonies
Washington U.PJ A new
team of generals and admirals,
headed by Adm. Arthur W. Rad
ford, took over the military high
command Saturday with the as
signment of taking a "new look"
at the nation's entire defense
setup.
Only simple ceremonies at the
Pentagon marked changeover in
the membership of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. But from the
change may come decisions re
vamping national defense polic
ies followed for the past several
years.
Radford New Chairman
New chairman of the Joint
Chiefs and the first Navy man
to hold the top military post, is
the 58-year-old Radford who suc
ceeds Gen. Omar N. Bradley.
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's
turn to take the oath came an
hour later. The former supreme
Allied commander in Europe
succeeds Gen. J. Lawton Collins
as Army chief of staff.
Gen. Nathan F. Twining has
already taken over as Air Force
chief of staff, replacing Gen.
Hoyt S. Vandenberg who retired
June 30. Adm. Robert B. Cam
ey, the fourth member of the
new military team, will be sworn
in Monday, succeeding Adm.
William M. Fechteler as chief of
naval operations.

falls the immediate task of re

Nitze Sees Need
For More Defenses
Washington (U.PJ A former
top State Department planner
said Friday night it would be
"tragic indeed" if Russia's claim
to the H-bomb does not spur
America to build up its air de
fenses. Paul H. Nitze, former chief
of the department s policy plan
ning staff, urged a boost of up
to $3,000,000,000 in air defense
spending "over a period of
years."
The essential element in an
overall military program for the
umiea Mates, he said, is "an
integrated and effective defense
against the possibili of over
whelming atomic attack."
Nitze outlined his proposals
at the concluding session of a
five-day seminar on "Soviet Im
perialism." The conference was
sponsored by the School of Ad
vanced International Studies of
Johns Hopkins University.
Denver Man Named

Washington (U.R) Secre

ganizations for the last 20 years.
He succeeds Daken K. Broad

is a native of Brigham City,

plans laid down by their prede
cessors. Out of their recommend
ations will come such important
decisions as how many wings the
Air Force should have how large
the Army should be, whether
the Navy should build still more
supercarriers, and whether in
creased military emphasis should
be placed on the Far East.
Gem Smugglers
Believed Smashed
Uxbridge, England (U.R)
British authorities .Saturday
charged two diamond brokers
with operating a gem smuggling
ring which did a million dollar
business between London and
New York, using British Over
seas Airway stewards as -trans-Atlantic
peddlers.
The accused, Sidney Norman,
32, a, diamond merchant, and
George First, 31, a diamond
broker, were released on bail
after being arraigned on charges
of masterminding the diamond
smuggling racket.
Police testified the two hired
ROAC stewards to smuggle the
gems to New York from London
in small packages.
Airline stewards were discov
ered carrying $123,000 in gems,
authorities said, and their inves
tigations showed $1,400,000 of
diamonds and other gems had
been smuggled into New York
in the past three months.

Heidelberg. Germany U,R)
Two U- S. Army captains, en
gaged in. field maneuvers near
the. Iron Curtain frontier, mis
takenly landed their light plane
In the Soviet Zone of Germany
and were reported Saturday as
"missing and presumed held by
the Russians."
The two officers brought their
L-19 liaison plane down on a
super highway about six miles
northwest of the border town of
Hof and a few hundred yards
inside the Soviet Zone Friday
morning, an Army announce
ment said.
They bave not returned and
the Army said It can be pre
sumed they are being held by
the Russians.
An Army spokesman said he
"assumed" the Russians already
have been asked for information
and requested to arrange their
release.
Both men were assigned to the
U. S. First Division. They were
participating in First Division
field maneuvers at the time.
The names of the two men
were not disclosed, pending noti
fication to their families.
Communists Lisl
Exaggerated Claims
Of U.N. Casualties
Tokyo (U.R) Communist
propagandists Saturday claimed
the North Koreans and Chinese
"volunteers' killed, wounded or
captured 1,093,839 United Na
tions troops, including 397,943
Americans.
Quoting an announcement
from "supreme headquarters" of
the Communists in Korea, Radio
Peiping and Radio Pyongyang
also, said Red pilots and anti
aircraft crews had downed 5,729
Allied planes.
Ridiculous Boasts
Observers here considered the
Communist boasts ridiculous.
The Communist count of 397,-
543 Americans killed, wounded
and captured was more than
twice the figure given by the
Pentagon. Red claims on ma
terial also were considered gross
ly exaggerated.
The Communists' final sum
mary of three years of warfare
broke down the casualty list as
follows: 397,543 Americans, 667,
293 South Koreans, and 29,003
Britons, Turks and French.
Claim Planes Downed
They said planes shot down or
damaged included 12,213 fight
ers, bombers, reconnaissance
planes, transports, artillery spot
ters, propaganda planes and heli
copters. The U. S. Air Force and at
tached United Nations units re
ported losing 999 planes during
the war, only one fifth the Red
figure.
Liquor for Indians
Measure Approved
Denver U.R) President
Eisenhower Saturday signed into
law a bill to let reservation In
dians buy "firewater."
The measure wipes out a 19th
century law which prohibited
the sale of intoxicants to redmen
in "Indian Country," a term that
once meant large segments of
the West but now Includes res
ervations only.
While he was about it, the
President ended another long
standing discrimination against
Indians by signing a bill to allow
them to contract for loans on
cattle they own.
Still another measure which
would let Indians buy firearms
is awaiting Mr. Eisenhower's
signature.
Another Indian bill signed by
the President puts reservation
Indians in five states, California,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon,
and Wisconsin, under the same
criminal and civil laws which
govern other persons.
ELECTION RECOMMENDED
Portland (U.R) A special
city council advisory committee
has recommended a special elec
tion be held on an $8,000,000
bond issue to finance a new
sports and recreation center in
Portland.
Vermont's first state house
"was literally whittled out of
use" historians say the holes
made by jack-knives were "too
big for putty and paint, too ugly
to be agreeable."
