o FOURTEEN MEDtORD (OREGOK) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. February I, U57 o Nuclear Weapons Supply Not Sufficient To Please Armed Forces, Testimony Says EWflr'i not: The t'nitfd Statu Tliaone arH T n rHni- Tl stockpile of atomic weapons In the world, there u a deficiency In that supply that Is causing conrern. United Press Correspondent Joseph L. Myler reports on the situation in the follow ing dispatch. By JOSEPH L. MYLER United 'PresS Correspondent Washington U.R) More power is packed in the U.S. atomic stockpile than was ever used in war but the armed forces are a long way from hav ing all the nuclear weapons they want. This fact was highlighted again in testimony Tuesday be fore a Senate Armed Services committee task force by Assist ant Army Secretary Frank H. Magruder. The deficiency is not in A bombs and H-bombs big enough to wipe out targets ranging in size from an airport to a mam moth city. There are enough of those and their number is growing to destroy most tar gets worthy of them in Russia. Small Weapons Lacking The deficiency is in small, so called tactical atomic weapons weapons designed for every spe cial purpose known to warfare from sinking an enemy subma rine to knocking down an ene my bomber. Sen. Stuart Symington (D Mo.) said at the hearing that he Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS OBloomington, 111. Walter S. Robertson, assistant secretary of state for Far Eastern affairs, announcing that he knows of no plan for the United States to recognize Red China: "By every standard of national and international conduct, China under Its present regime, is an outlaw nation." Washington Chairman Clarence Cannon (D.-Mo.) of the House Appropriations committee, promising the House of Representa tives ha will use every effort to slash the new record S71.8 billion budget: "The alarming thing about this alarming budget is that no one is alarmed at y." Brookhaven, Miss Sheriff C. E. Smith, maintaining he was not alarmed by gangs of white men roaming the city following a scries of attacks on white women by an assailant called "The Mumbler": "The people n those crowds who gathered Tuesday night were frying to help in the search. People are stirred up. Housewives are frightened and are keeping their doors locked. Men have armed themselves for protection." Reno, Nev. Lee Frankovtch, manager of the Riverside hotel, describing a section of downtown Rano wrecked by three gas ex plosions: "The street was littered with debris and bodies. I'm sure some ef them weredead. It was complete havoc." Kansas City, Mo. Former President Truman, minimizing a cut he suffered on the back of his head while working around his home although his doctor took six stitches to sew up thg two-inch lacerations: "I Just bumped my head, there's nothing wrong." Washington House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin pre dicting the Democrat's "baby soil bank" ,bill would be passed without waiting for President Eisenhower's recommendation on drought legislation: 'Nobody wants to vote against drought relief because every body Is for It." Groton, Conn. Cmdr. Eugpne P. Wilkinson, skipper of the nuclear-powered namesake of Jules Verne's fictional submarine, .the Nautilus, telling his crew that their sub was about to fulfill the title of Verne's book, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea": "In a few minutes we will witness a feat that has hern un known to man except in the world of fiction this ship, our Nauti lus, will log her 20.000th league." had "very startling" information about "the lack of production of small atomic weapons." Magruder agreed it would be "three to five years" before the Army has enough tactical atom ic weapons to reduce use of con vention ammunition in a war by as much as 25 per cent. Higgins said equipping the Two More Unknown Soldiers in Arlington Washington UJ.R) Two more unknown soldiers, one from World War II and one from the Korean war, will be buried in Arlington National cemetery on Memorial day, May 30, 1958. The Defense department said Monday Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson had approved the burial and plans for the se lection and return of the un known soldiers from overseas. Plans for modifying the tomb j of the unknown soldier of World War I still are tentative, how- ever. Proposals now under con- j sideration call for two additional crypts in the plaza floor at the present tomb. The Defense department said there is now no intention of changing the famed inscription: i "Here rests in honored glory an j American soldier known but to i God." Army with small atomic weap-for, say, Army troops. ons is "progressing very nicely," but he added that it is "largely a developing program, still." It is a fact that actual produc tion of atomic weapons is at an all-time high. The production pace jumped so fast in the past six months that the Atomic En ergy commission has had to project new expansion of its weapons manufacturing plant. AEC Cites Needs Bui it still isn't turning out atomic artillery shells, says, at the production rate of World War II ordnance plants. It still isn't producing tactical atomic weapons by the tens of thous ands. There obviously has been dis agreement among members of the AEC as to the relative em phasis that ought to be put on big bombs for the Strategic Air Command and smaller weapons Commissioner Thomas E. Mur ray said last April 21 "very small" atomic weapons should be manufactured in the "tens of thousands." Obviously, when he said that, they weren't. He made the same proposal just last Sept. 21, and, in effect, repeated it last Nov. 10. Murray's point was, and is, that the big bombs are big enough for their purpose, which is deterring aggression on a glo bal scale. What's needed now, he believes, is enough smaller weapons to make America su preme on the battlefield in a "limited war" as well as in any exchange of knockout blows against cities. Weapons Less Potent By "very small" Murray ap parently means weapons consid erably less potent than the A bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945. That bomb loosed vio lence equal to 15,000 tons of ex ploding TNT. The AEC already has tested weapons equivalent to less than 1,000 tons of TNT. They are midgets compared to the biggest U.S. H-bomb yet tested a 15 million tonner ex ploded in 1954.
