Kennedy Vants Buildup Of Ground Troop Force WASHINGTON IAD-President Kennedy obviously is dissatisfied with this nation's preparedness to .((ight brush fire wars. Why? First, a look at recent reduc tions in U S. military manpower: In three years from 1935 to 1958 the Eisenhower administra tion lopped four Army. In 1939, the Marine Corps was cut from 200,000 men to 175,000 men. Despite these cutbacks in troop ly the mightiest nation on earth, has only about 103,000 ground troops immediately available to fight limited wars. Thus President Kennedy is not exactly lnppy with the United States' ability to fight the so called limited wars without dras- divisions off the llc rcv,slon 01 311 our "WiUiy commitments. Kennedy said at his news con ference Wednesday that he had under consideration recommenda tions from Secretary of Defense strength there was no correspond-8 samara tor an m- ing reduction in U.

The truth of tile situation is that a a the United Stales now has only Alf1QPI3 flf311 seven divisions available to figlil fiyWllU TfUl in a limited war. A limited war, by the way. is k 1 I defined as a war in which the iVmlftl1 ICCIIP naliunal existence of the United I'KUJVl UJUW States is not at stake.

But the out numbered Europeans fear inde pendence would bring an end to their traditional privileges. ln 1958 a revolt of Europeans in Algiers demanded that Algeria ing only 75 per cent American soldiers. , Not many Americans realize that Koreans supply an additional 25 per cent of tile troops in these divisions and these Koreans could not leave tnat country without ap- rcmain forever French and that prova of their own ' government Charles de Gaulle, then writing liis memoirs in his country home, be returned tn power. De Gaulle was elected presi' dent. Then, to the disillusionment of the Europeans in Algiers, he; set about to end the rebellion by negotiations. He sent his own sup porters to run the army and civil government in Algiers, taking away the settlers' main sources of support. Extremists demanding a "French Algeria" became more isolated from French public opin ion. Frenchmen began looking for an end to what they some times call "The Dirty War." Per sistent stories of French troops torturing rebels prisoners have pricked at the French conscience. The war itself had become a military stalemate. The rebel force, numbering in the thousands and training in the sanctuary of Tunisia and Morocco, pinned down a French army consisting mostly of young draftees. In recent months the interna tional complications have become ominous. The rebels sought aid from the Communist bloc and it was beginning to arrive. Sovie' For all practical purposes, the two partially American divisions in Korea are immobile. That leaves seven Army divi sions to be accounted for. Thcrn are three highly trained ready-to-go divisions in the United States known as the Strategic Army Corps. There is a fourth ready division in Hawaii.

The Venezuelan foreign minis try said in Caracas Wednesday It had received a note from Ha vana asking for eflorls toward a solution, Sources said the note amounted to a Cuban request for conciliation but outside the Or ganization of American Slates.

Four other nations I Haiti, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Colombia have pulled their am bassadors out of Cuba.

The peak of more than 5(i.0l!0 cars with retail sales of some $100 million was reached in 1959, and last year this ligurc dipped to 45,248. "That may be a lot by Detroit standards," Bill declared, "but in Britain wc feel that's a mar ket well worth keeping and de veloping."
