HERALD AND NEWS; Klamath Falls. Ore. Sundav. Dec. 13. 1959 PAGE 7 A Pentagon Planning Risk To Clip Russ Leadership By RAY Cno.MI.EY WASHINGTON (EA The De fense Department has decided to take a series of calculated risks for now in an attempt to catch up with the Russians in defense later. This is (he situation as Thomas Gates picks up the reins as Sec retary of Defense from Neil Mc Elroy: Take it easy on actual inter continental missile production for the time being. Let the Russians get well ahead (or the next three years if they have a mind to. Use the funds saved in a des perate hurry-up attempt to leap frog over the cumhersome-to-firc Atlas into superior missiles. Go more slowly than expected on building elaborate new systems for defending the U.S. Specifi cally, hold off pn actual produc tion of the multi-billion-dollar Nike-Zeus anti-missile defense pro gram. Instead, put the money into re search speedups in" order to de velop a defense system less likely to be obsolete before it's, installed. Take it easy on the production ef today's conventional "obsoles cent" Army, Navy and Air Korce weapons and clamp down on the size of U.S. forces. This will lower the U.S. ability to handle brush size wars. Where possible, substi tute military aid to allies in an attempt to get them to use their own lunds to build stronger forces, handle more problems locally. Use the lunds saved by holding back on some major typos of wea pons to develop and equip small er U.S. forces with some new type and some unconventional weapons now on the drawing boards. The Atlas intercontinental bal listic missile lakes too long lo fuel and fire, say Pentagon strategists, lis fixed bases are easy for the Russians to pinpoint for a sneak attack. The Atlas will be built in some numbers for specialized missions and lo get the U.S. by for now. Rut first priority will go to the Minuteman, now scheduled lo be ready by The Minuleman program will get all the funds it can absorb. The emphasis on Minuteman Is because of cheapness, reliability and mobility. Key Pentagon plan nersAir Force, Navy and Army now insist privately no missile system will be of much use to the U.S. unless it's mobile, so its launching site can't be mapped in advance by the Russians. Plans call for the Minuteman to be in stalled on special railway cars. These new decisions, it's under stood, also mean a speedup in Polaris, the intermediate range 1.500-mile missile that can be fired underwater from submarines. The first Polaris submarine mis sile system should go into opera lion some time next year. Addi tional units are targeted one every four months indefinitely. That's because a Polaris submarine can be hidden and moved. Both Minuteman and Polaris have additional advantages. Good as the first ones appear likely to be, scientists see Vide possibilities for making sizeable improvements in range, reliability and in bomb carrying capacity on future mod els. The missile men are also work ing on research that would turn these two missiles or others into a family of missiles, thus making a very limited form of "mass pro duction" possible. Military men think, for example, that the Min uteman, now designed as an in tercontinental missile, could be modified into a 1,500-mile type. Polaris, an underwater - fired missile, could be used as an ac curate land-based 1,500-mile wea pon. Interchangeably, the dream of the Pentagon, would reduce costs tremendously. This is essen tial if enough of these expensive weapons are to be made to "sat urate Russian targets in case of var. But how then does the U.S. get by in the crucial 19B1 lo 1.-K3 pe riod when the Russians can get well ahead of the United States in intercontinental missiles if they desire? This is the Pentagon theory: By bolstering the U.S. Air Force with an ample supply of Hound Dog missiles with atomic war heads. They theoretically will en able U.S. strategic B-52 bombers to stand off M miles from target and "knock out" Soviet de fenses belore moving in to drop their bomb loads. If necessary Whitman's Chocolates A Holiday Favorite! CURRIN'S DRUGS In The Villogt Court 840 Main some B-S2s could be kept in the air, ready to go, at all limes. Add that lo the Atlas lCBMs the U.S. does make, the interme diate range missiles based on Tur key, Greece and Britain, the Navy's carrier-based bombers. With all this the Pentagon bs lieves it can get by. 3Pg 3U JS. i L i ,1 y,iiss hmA t m 1 s ni tv""S sl ? v f " p- rn j?T yrjif pilf lKrm . ..... . T f fm if. . ?v :' y s t - " t, I - "?

Photo by Betty Dow New Ike Doctrine Seen; Chances Of Success Good NEW DELHI, India (AP)-Less than three years ago the Eisen hower Doctrine boomeranged. To day it seems highly likely a new Eisenhower doctrine is emerging and this one has every chance of being a rousing success. The message brought by the American President to India plus the impact of his personality may prove in the long run a big help in mending U.S. fortunes in areas where they have been sagging. The new Eisenhower doctrine is suggested in salient points of his pronouncements in India. These are the U.S. stands for peace and genuine disarmament, determination to help friends against aggressors, need for peo ple-to-people contacts, need for recognition of world law and, most important in this area, the rSed for a massive "noble" war against hunger. 'Since the end of World War II Asians', Africans and Middle East erners have exhibited a strong bond springing from common his tory, common woes and common problems. The leaders of these areas un derscored this four years ago in Indonesia where they created what they called the Spirit of Bandung in the city of lhat name The Eisenhower Doctrine was proclaimed after the Suez crisis as a warning to the Communists against armed intrusion in the Middle East. But the Arans just attacked by Britain, France and Israel complained "V suffer from cholera and Dr. Ei senhower offers to treat us for measles." Finally there was a dangerous Middle East blowoff sparked by the little Lebanese civil war in 19V), bringing U.S. troops to Leb anon and British troops to Jordan. Many Arabs and Asians called that Western imperialism. Egypt's President Camel Ahdel Nasser used every means to pro mole what he called Asian-Afri can solidarity. The Communists were swift to offer support, advice and sympathy. Two men stood out as Asian- At ah leaders: Nehru of India. Nasser of Egypt. feeling among nations emerging from colonialism. The reasoning went this way: the United States was an ally of the colonial pow ers and often sided with them when the chips were down for fear of damaging NATO. Thus, tnere were undercurrents in the Asian-African solidarity idea of resentment against the United States. Soviet Premier Nikila Khrush chev had all along been taking advantage of such a notion, coursing all over Asia, offering solicitude, arms and economic help to the Arabs, playing big brother to all colonial and ex- colonial peoples. Nehru, a symbol of anticolonial ism to Asians and Africans, echoed Khrushchev's peaceful co existence phrase and frequently seemed to scold the West for per sisting in a posture of strength. A change set in after Eisenhow er accepted Khrushchev as a U.S guest and Red China began bellig erent gestures toward India. Now India has given Eisenhower an enormous welcome as a symbol of its hopes. The unprecedented Eisenhower welcome in Asia indicates the Asians want to believe he stands for peace and lhat Asians still look toward the United States hopefully.
