By RUDY WECHMAR
United Press Correspondent
Bonn, Germany (U.R) West
Germany is going to raise a thor
oughly Americanized army.
The new 500,000-man German
fighting force will step into
American style uniforms. It will
be trained by American instruc
tors in the use of American
weapons.. It will fly American
Dlanes.
The new German soldier, 19S5
version, will lack two of his
most widely known features of
former days high jackboots
and clicking heels.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's
"GI" will march on rubber-soled
shoes.
French Foreign Minister An
toine Pinay. when he learned
this recently, wisecracked:
"This time we won't even hear
them."
About 400,000 men will serve
in the West German Army.
There will be 80,000 in the air
force and 20,000 in the small
coastal navy.
The new fighting force; which
will be part of Gen. Alfred M.
Gruenther's North Atlantic
Treaty Defense Organization,
will consist of 150,000 volun
teers and 350,000 draftees.
First Volunteers
The Adenauer government is
trying at the moment to push its
first rearmament legislation
through Parliament so it can
call up the first volunteers this
year.
The force will be grouped into
12 army divisions plus support
ing troops, an air force of fighter
and fighter-bomber wings and a
pocket navy which will include
few small coastal submarines.
The 12 divisions, six armored
four mechanized and two mo
torized infantry will be organ
ized in the most modern manner
and equipped with the latest j
American weapons.
Each regiment, even each bat
talion of a German division will
be a small self-supporting unit
However, the tank regiments
will be organized so all could be
withdrawn from their divisions
and combined into a powerful
3000-tank fighting arm.
Most of the army's supporting
units will be self-propelled artil
lery, anti-tank brigades, special
"fire brigade" tank regiments
and other high-power forces.
Eye To Russia
The organization of the new
fighting force will be modeled
on American lines. But it will be
modeled also with an eye on
one possible enemy S o v i e t
Russia.
This highly-technical German
army, will be supported by spe
cial Russian style mortar regi
ments, radar battalions and commando-raid
squads.
The German G.I. will wear
khahi or field gray uniforms,
American style. He will wear an
Eisenhower jacket and probably
an American style helmet.
About 90 per cent of equip
ment will come from the United
States, probable through a modi
fied lease-lend arrangement.
Included will be 3000 Fatten
tanks, about 1300 fighter planes,
Heavy artillery, mortars, ma
chine guns and other equipment.
The planes will include F8S Sa-
brejets.
- The 30 to 40 German generals
will be veterans of the former
German army. Most of them
have held the rank of coloneL
All generals will be screened by
a special committee for political
reliability. ,
German officers will be fly
ing to the United States soon to
be trained in American plane
and tank tactics. They will re
turn to be instructors in the new
army.

Bock Stairs: Gary Cooper Capitol Guest
By MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press White House Writer
Washington (U.R) Back
stairs at the White House:
A recent guest, and President
Eisenhower probably did not
know it, was Gary Cooper.
Mr. Eisenhower was away on
a recent Sunday and Cooper
spent "most of the day striding
dramatically up and down West
Executive Ave. while making
scenes for his new movie about
Billy Mitchell, the pioneer of the
Air Force.
Several key Secret Service
agents missing from Washington.
They're in Europe making ad
vance arrangements for Mr. Eis
enhower's attendance at the Big
Four meeting in Geneva.
Not only key men from Wash
ington have been sent abroad,
but some agents from other cities
who had extensive experience
with European law enforcement
problems.
Meantime, back at the White
House the small staff that will
accompany . the President to
Switzerland is nursing a collec
tion of sore arms due to inocu
lations for the trip.
COMPROMISE ON SKIRTS
Jackson, Miss. U.R) Cen
tral High School drum major
ettes last year designed costumes
with very brief skirts. This year
critics demanded knee length
skirts. Principal Charles Holla
day appointed a special commit
tee to work out a compromise.
The new skirts will be midway
between knee and thigh.
: Tourists going to Europe re
quire little more than a recent
smallpox vaccination to get back
into this country. But the White
House conference personnel are
receiving the full schedule of
shots given troops going abroad.
The President was interrupted
in a New England speech re
cently by the loud mooing of a
heifer he was about to receive
as a gift.
The crowd roared with delight
because - the previous speaker,
Sen. Style s Bridges (R-N.H.)
seemed quite nettled -when he
was interrupted by the same
creature and in the same bovine
manner.
The President joined in the
laughter. ' ..:
"You see," he said. "I think
that is fine. After, all, it is New
Hampshire talking."
Interesting items from "The
Great American Heritage," Bela
Kornitzer's new book, on the five
Eisenhower brothers:
Four of the five brothers, in
cluding the President have given
up smoking. Earl of La Grange,
111., and Charleroi, Pa., is the re
maining smoker. '.
The President's mother ' and
father permitted no whiskey in
their house except one small
bottle for medicinal purposes.
And this bottle, according to
Earl, lasted at least 20 years.
Arthur, the Kansas City, Mo.,
banker, told Kornitzer, "I think
I'm probably the only brother
that doesn't belong to a church.
That doesn't mean that I haven't
got mother's religion in my souL"
