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.

ference Wednesday that he had

A limited war, by the way. is

French "settlers" have roots in
Algeria going back beyond tin
turn of the century. 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

soldiers. ,
Not many Americans realize
that Koreans supply an additional
25 per cent of tile troops in these
divisions and these Koreans could

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.

Future Bright For Imported Cars
NEW YORK il'PI'-Thcre is
an cxccllc'it future for foreign
cars in this country despite the
sharp decline in sales in 1'JliO.
This is the belief of A. 12. Bill,
whose car-importing organization
earns more dollars tor Britain
an any oilier individual firm in
this country.
For those who prophesy trouble
for the foreign 4'ar industry here,
Birt noted that last year was the
second best in the comparatively
short history of mass imports of
loicign cars.

Jiirt said this is slill a prcliy
healthy market for many respon
sible businessmen. "Detroit has
suffered far worse slumps and
survived."
Bill is president of Hambro Au
tomotive Corp., which is respon
sible for sales of British Motor
Corp. cars in Ihis country.
Regarding B.M.C. output, (the
uslin. Ai'stin-Healcy, MG and
Morris cars I Birt said his firm
sold only about 7,500 of these cars:
here as short a time ago as 1955.
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." Birt said lie anlicipaled this
leveling off for some time, and
feels that it may he a blessing
in disguise. "If the same rate oi
increase had been maintained we
would have put General Motors
out of business in 10 to 15 years,"
he declared.
