RAY CKOMl.t'Y Newspaper Enterprise .Military Analyst WASHINGTON i N E A i -A.mies go downhill, regardless of the excellence of their weapons, when their leadership begins to decline. Today there is great concern in the Army, Navy and Air Force, not over a missile or weapon gap, but over a future leadership ap. That shortage of lop leader ship is expected to show up seri ously in the 1970s as today's Navy lieutenants and Air Force and Army captains rise to positions of major responsibility. Not enough of the able young officer types are staying in past their original active duly obli gation of three to four years. The losses are heaviest in the technical areas electronics, mis siles, signals and basic science. "We've been getting by," says an Army colonel, "because of the big group of able officers that stayed in after World War II. These men are beginning to phase out now. They'll be grad ually retiring over the next eight or so years. I don't now what we will do then. Not enough of our best junior officers are staying." Savs a Navv captain: "0 n e of the best officers I know just quit for a job in industry." An Air Force lieutenant colonel reports he recently visited the Air Force's Cambridge Research Lab oratory and talked to 33 first lieu tenants. All were scientists, six with bachelor degrees, 14 with master's degrees and 13 with doc toratcs. All were happy in their work doing basic research for the Air Force. The colonel asked all 33 if they were plan ning to stay in the service. One said yes. four were undecided, 28 were getting out as soon as their terms were up. In fiscal l'2, the last for which figures arc available. 7.195 naval officers retired from active duty. Of these, 4.642 were lieutenants and lieutenants junior grade, most of whom had just completed their required period of active duty. In the enlisted ranks it's worse.

Wayne Morse. D- Ore., said Wednesday. Morse said in a statement he bad been advised that arrange mcnts would be made for officials uf the U.S. State Department. Commerce. Agriculture and Inter departments, and Housing and Home Finance Agency to meet with their Canadian counter parts. He said he also had been told that a lumber advisory commit tee would be organized. Morse said that at the Hyannis Port. Mass.. meeting between President Kennedy and Prime Minister I-estcr B. Pearson last month, Kennedy found Pearson agreeable to working together to ward a solution of U.S. -Canadian lumber industry strife. By PHIL NKWSOM I'PI Foreign News Analyst When Hed China last Decem ber declared an arbitrary cease fire in its border dispute w ith In dia, it already had demonstrated decisive superiority in at least three departments essential to successful warfare. Its troops were better trained. especially for high mountain fighting in the Himalayas, were better equipped and had the best communications. Through the winter the Chinese also retained the tactical advan tage, holding the high passes while the Indians remained in the plains below. Whether the Bed Chinese! mounted their attack for territori al gains or to embarrass India before the world, they did touch off chain reactions which have continued through the winter and into the spring. India, forced to abandon Prime Minister Jawaharlal .Nehru's cherished position of co-existence, turned to the United States and Britain for military aid which was forthcoming to the tune of $60 million apiece for the U.S. and Britain assisted by members of the Commonwealth. The U.S. aid and the promise of more to come led to an im mediate chill in U.S.-Pakistan re lations and disrupted the unity of the CENTO pact which is the Al lied defensive link between NATO in the West and SEATO in the East. The Pakistanis charged that long-term aid to India meant writing off any settlement of the long drawn-out Kashmir dispute and created the possibility that India would use tlw arms against Pakistan. On their side, the Indians ac cused the Pakistanis of being "willing tools" of the fled Chi nese and cited as evidence the recent trade and border pacts concluded between Pakistan and the Chinese. The chain reaction touched off other important developments. The Red Chinese also conclud ed a border pact with Mongolia and used it and the Pakistan agreement to trumpet its desire for peaceful co-cxisteiico with it: Asia neighbors. Only 7 per cent of the Army's surface - to air missile elec tronic guidance systems repair men sign up again after their first enlistment, 9 per cent of military intelligence specialists, 7 per cent of the ballistic missile repairmen,! 15 per cent of the general elec tronics specialists, 8 per cent of the communications security spec ialists. The Navy finds that only H per cent of its first-term data systems and electronic technicians re-en list, 16 per cent of its sonarmen 16 per cent of its aviation elec- Ironies technicians. The Air Force finds that only zsl per cent of its first-team intelli gence specialists re-enlist, 20 per cent of its nuclear weapons spec ialists. Not all good officers and en listed men are leaving, by any means. Rut the future worries many military men. As Junior officers move up to Navy cap tain and Army and Air Force colonel and then to admiral and general rank, there's a heavy se-lecting-out process. The services try to get rid of their below-average, average, and even many "just above average" officers and select only the top to stay in. The trouble is." says an Air Force colonel, "the group from which wo can pick and choose is getting smaller. No one is certain why this of ficer loss is so severe. Many Pent agon officers believe it's the low rate of pay a good Army, Navy or. Air Force junior officer gels in service compared to what he can get in industry. "A good many of our officers can walk right out and double or triple their pay, says one colonel. "A really superior-type officer can do even better. Re member a good chunk of our of ficers have college and advanced work in technical fields. Industry is fighting for them." Oilier military men think that part of the problem is the lowered prestige of military officers ii) -recent years. A Navy captaiir "re ports that years ago when a Navy ship came into a port, ''Wo were handed the keys to the city. Nothing was too good for us. "Today, lie says, everybody s nice, but the special doormat isn't out. Even as captain of a major ship coming into a port, no one even offers me a guest pass on the local golf course. "Maybe that s a little thing, but people used to make us feel that we were important to them. Now they don't. That recognition made up for being away from home, for a difference in pay scales, for a lot of tilings. Now we don't have it. And everybody wants recognition." It is too early to determine the results of Defense Secretary Mc Samara's downgrading of the im portance of the uniformed officer in Pentagon planning. But there is no doubt that there's increasing dissatisfaction with today's prac tice of ignoring the opinions of ex perienced military men when pitted against the young academ ic experts McNamara has brought into tile Pentagon. jijimui mi n .in i i niii.il wniimg !
