Weaknesses Disclosed In
Army's Pentomic Ranks
By DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Corrripondent
FT. ORD, Calif. (NEA) There
Is growing evidence being devel
oped here that the U.S. Army
may have reorganized itself into a
itate of dangerous weakness.
A unique means of scientifically
measuring the combat effective
ness of new Army units and tacti
cal concepts being used here is
exposing more and more weak
nesses in the pentomic type divi
lion.
During the past two years the
Army has rushed into being an
unprecedented overhaul of its di
vision structure into the so-called
pentomic form. The World War II
type division with three regiments
has been abolished. An organiza
tion consisting of five battle
groups instead of regiments has
been substituted.
The prime concept behind this
move was to permit the battle
groups to fight on a widely dis
persed battlefield, each with far
Sham Beep-Beeps
To Be Sentenced
LOS ANGELES (AP)-The case
of the counterfeit beeps is all over
except for the sentencing.
Three engineers will be sen
tenced July 16 for operating an
unlicensed radio station and inter
fering with communications. Last
December, as a joke, they set up
a radio transmitter which sent
beeps matching Soviet Sputnik
signals.
Federal court found the trio
guilty yesterday after' the Federal
Communications Commission do
scribed how much work it took to
track down the transmitter, which
was hidden in the mountains north
of here.
The engineers, Rulon D. Jensen
and Dean L. Hanson, Los Angeles,
and Fred Field Jr., Torrance,
have asked for probation.
Ex-Wife Seeking

Prisoner Given
Full Pardon
AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) - William
Hutto, who was a fugitive for
years, was expected to be released
from the lluntsvillc, Tex., state
prison today.
Gov. Price Daniel granted Hut
to a full pardon because of his
"exemplary lilo and good charac
ter." Hutto, was sentenced to 15 years
on a rape conviction in 1924. Aft
er serving about a year, he was
granted a furlough because of
family affairs. He never returned
to prison. He said he understood
he had been pardoned.
He lived as an auto salesman
In New Orleans, but was picked
up on a traffic violation this spring
while visiting in Texas. A routine
check turned- up his record.

more independence and freedom
of action than the previous regi
ment.
This dispersal is to minimize
casualties if the enemy is usins
tactical atomic weapons. But it
also entails the need for more and
belter communications equipment
more versatile weapons and better
means of transportation. And it is
in these three areas where the
present, new pentomic structure
of U.S. divisions are turning out
to be weakest under the scientific
evaluation being given it here.
A recent intense examination of
pentomic type companies under
scientifically controlled and sim
ulated combat conditions reveals
the following grave weaknesses:
When units are dispersed enough
for tactical safety their communi
cations equipment is not powerful
enough for them to maintain con
tact with commanders. When more
powerful radios were tried in the
maneuvers radio; along the whole
west coast were cut in on what
were supposed to be secret ex
changes of orders.
Russian subs off the coast could
have monitored and recorded ev
ery order given in the maneuvers,
it has been discovered. This also
means a threat to security of op
erations on a battlefield.
Pentomic units do not have
enought anti-tank weapons. There
is far too little artillery support
for forward troops provided in the
pentomic division. And there is an
urgent need for every armored
troop carrier vehicle to carry a
weapon big enough to destroy the
enemy s largest armored vehicle
When troops arc moved to a
combat position by helicopter they
arc left in a dangerously vulner
able position, without weapons
heavy enough to defend themselves
adequately, and without enough
wheel transportation. And serious
doubts have been raised about the
heralded use of helicopters be
cause of their vulnerability to
small-arms ground fire.
In addition to these pentomic di
vision weaknesses, it has been de
termined that the organization has
totally inadequate means of spot
ting enemy troop targets because
of the great distances caused by
dispersal. And war games have
showed that one of the most dim
cult maneuvers to execute is put
ting enough distance between you
and the enemy lo drop an atomic
bomb on him and not injure your
own forces.
CDEC, Combat Development
Experimentation Center, is the
name of the new Army group do
ing this evaluation work. It con
sists of over 3,000 olficcrs and men
in field units, working with about
100 staff officers and lop scientists.
Elaborate, standard and experi
mental equipment is used by the
group.
Ingenious methods of putting
tanks and other weapons out of
action the second they arc determ
ined lo he hit by simulated fire
and an instant means of assessing
casualties in a war game are some
of the techniques used. All actions
ire elaborately recorded on elec
tronic machines and can he
played back" for further study.
Available land facilities include
310.000 acres of rolling terrain and
rugged mountains and hills which
arc part of the Hunter Liggctt-
Camp Roberts complex located
about 80 miles from Ft. Ord.
Even though CDECs first find
ings have exposed serious defi
ciencies in the pentomic division.

Expert Defines
Word Meaning
NEW YORK (AP)-Georgc V.
Allen, director of Ihe U.S. Infor
mation Agency, says the word
"propaganda" denotes advertising
and should not be associated with
lies.
Allen, speaking last night before
the Zonta international conven
tion, , a service organization of
women business executives, said:
"There is nothing really evil in
the term. In Spanish, propaganda
means advertising: in religion, it
means spreading the faith: in gov
ernment it means trying to make
ourselves understood abroad."
The word came into disrepute,
Allen said, when abused by Hit
ler's propaganda chief Joseph
Goebbels "and came to mean the
big lie."

UNITED NATIONS. NY. (AP)
A Russian-backed resolution
aimed at ending U.S. nuclear tests
in the Pacific was turned down
yesterday by the Trusteeship
Council, which oversees American
administration of the island test

The Soviet Union joined with
three neutralist nations Burma,
India and the United Arab Repub
lic in supporting an Indian
resolution to end nuclear tests in,
or around, any trust territory. It
lost 7-4.
India claimed the United States
was staging tests in the Marshalls
because it preferred to risk Asian
lives rather than those of Ameri
cans. Charging India with unintention
ally raising a racial issue, U.S.
Delegate Mason Sears replied the
islands were not part of Asia and
the test area presented the least
danger of any area under U.S.
control.

Reds Temper Flared Over
Foreign Affairs Results
By CHARLES M. McCANN
I'PI Foreign N'ewi Analyil
The week's good and bad news
on the international balance sheet:
Soviet Russia indulged in an
outburst of temper this week over
developments in the field of for
eign affairs.
Mobs, obviously officially organ
ized, engaged in hostile demon
strations against the United
States, West German and Danish
embassies in Moscow. The dem
onstrations were staged in re
taliation for anti-Communist dem
onstrations in New York and
Bonn in pfotest against the ex
ecution of Hungarian revolt lead
ers Imre Nagy and Pal Maleter.
A Soviet note to the United
States threatened to boycott a
meeting of experts, already set
for next Tuesday in Geneva,
Switzerland, on means of assur
ing compliance with a possible
ban on tests of nuclear weapons.
Official statements and the officially-controlled
Moscow- news
papers denounced the United
States, its allies and the United
Nations for considering Lebanon's
request that action be taken to
stop the "flow of weapons and men
which are being sent to the Leba
nese rebels across the frontier of
Syria from the United Arab Re
public. On Monday, while police
watched idly, a mob smashed the
windows of the West German Em
bassy in Moscow. Incendiary
rags, stones and bottles of purple
ink were thrown through the
broken windows. Draperies and
furniture were damaged seriously.
It followed the same course as
lost Friday's attack on the Danish
Embassy.
On Wednesday, a much more
temperate mob demonstrated in
front of the United Stales Em
bassy. Without much enthusiasm,
the demonstrators shouted "Fas
cists," "dogs" and similar epi
thets. But no missiles were
thrown and no damage was done.
Everything had seemed set for
the Geneva meeting of experts on
a possible agreement to suspend
nuclear weapons tests as the So
viet government demands.
The United States, Canada.
Great Britain and France were
ready to send their delegates, ex
pecting to confer with experts
from Russia, Czechoslovakia, Po
land and Romania.

But on Wednesday, Soviet For
eign Secretary Andrei A. Gromyko
handed American Ambassador
Llewellyn Thompson Jr., an
"aide memoire" or informal note
demanding that the problem of
insuring compliance with a test
ban be subordinated to reaching
an immediate agreement on the
suspension.
Gromyko threatened to boycott
the meeting unless his views were
accepted.
But the allied governments went
ahead with plans to send their
delegates to Geneva and await de
velopments.
United Nations Secretary Gener
al Dag Hammarskjold returned to
his New York headquarters after
conferring with Lebanese Presi
dent Camille Chamoun and Pre
mier Sami Solh and United Arab
Republic President Gamal Abdel
Nasser.
Hammarskjold sought first to
try to get Nasser to stop the flow
of aid from Syria to the Lebanese
rebels and secondly to police the
Lebanese-Syrian border to cut the
supply line.
Russia denounced all this as in
tervention in domestic Arab af
fairs and as threatening to cause
war in the Middle East.
But Lebanon was determined to
go ahead with its appeal for help.
And the United States is pledged,
if necessary, to use troops in
Lebanon's support.
