Vandenberg Is Top Man In Intelligence Service Br CLARKE BEACH ' WASHINGTON, July 12 (.V If atom bombs should (all by urpri.se on the United Stales within the next few years, Lieut. Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg prob ably would be blamed (or it. The president has given him the top U. S. intelligence job, director of the central intelli gence group (CIG). It's his re sponsibility to know whether various intelligence agencies are doing their work and to digest their information (or the bene fit of policy-making officials. He doesn't look like the mas ter mind of an international in telligence system, the sinister figure encountered in novels and movies. He is a pleasant army flyer, tall and handsome, cheerfully profane, easy to talk to, decidedly good company.'. One can't avoid the impres sion he is young, despite his 47 years and his iron-gray hair. Much-Decorated Officer "Might as well be comfort able," he said as we settled down on a leather couch in his office, and I accustomed myself to the glHre of six rows of many-colored ribbons, replete with stars, rosettes and oak leaf clusters. Some were garnered in the "wild blue yonder" and some awarded (or staff and com mand work In Africa and Eu rope. ' A large globe sits next to the general's desk, and four air plane models rest on tables, desks and bookcasest Much of the talk is about aviation, for the general's heart is obviously still in the air. He got in. 80 hours of flight time in May, pi loting his own B-25. He usually ties in his flying with a business trip. During the war he flew the B-17, the B-26, P-51, P-38 and the British Spitfire. Of his work during the war. he says simply "I spent a lot of time in Europe with 'the brass.' " Now 'Brass' Himself He forget, apparently, that Hoyt Vandenberg himself now is rated as ."the brass." . He held various staff posts in Great Britain, Africa. Sicily and Washington. In 1944 he had command of the ninth air force in the European theater. Until he received his present appoint ment he was G-2 of the war department general staff, reor ganizing the army's intelligence. Vandenberg is a native of Milwaukee, Wis., a West Point man, class of 1923. He and Mrs. Vandenberg live at Fort Meyer, Va., and have two children a daughter, 20, and a 17-year- old son, who has just been ap pointed to West Point. "Intelligence is one of the most important things in the world," he said. "A nation that operates the way we do, with a small army and little emphasis on military affairs in peacetime, must know what to expect from other nations." Of his program for the CIG he says only: "We have big plans, plenty of ideas, but now we are just ill the organizational stage. Give us time and public support, and we'll make this tiling work."
