clear that bringing home even a sizable part of our force
in Europe would really produce substantial savings.
The present U.S. cost in Europe of maintaining those
310,000 men is around $3.2 billion a year. Critics’ figures
up to $14 billion are absurd on their face, involving calcu-
lations with regard to the Atlantic fleet, backup ground
forces stationed elsewhere. These elements would stand
as continuing cost factor no matter what pullback we
made.
DE
ER
fense ministers, is laboring at the problem of easing the
U.S. overseas burden still further
Still, as indicated, big savings could come only from
disbanding large returned forces. The President's foreign
policy advisers are looking at that one, even though the
chance of such action seems remote.
First, Nixon has only recently restated our commitment.
To pull out and disband large forces would be to rip away
the underpinnings of that commitment and leave Western
Europe in a very shaky state. Our credibility as an on-
the-ground partner and ally would be gravely harmed.
Short of some presently unforeseen agreement for a
mutual East-West reduction of forces, a U.S. pullback is
thus very unlikely. Most of the 310,000 in Europe will stay
The “lowered American profile” of the Nixon doctrine
translates, of course, into reduced U.S. presence virtually
everywhere. The outlook today is that vital exceptions will
be made, with jutting peaks of American force showing
above a perhaps generally lower line.
“Color the Mediterranean red and color Western Eu
rope red," said one U.S. expert, meaning we still see big
military-naval commitments there as no less important
to security than defense of our own mainland and our
Alaska-Hawaii outposts.

On Air Piracy
The hijacking of a Russian airliner to Turkey by two
Lithuanians, father and son. followed by the hijacking of an-
other Russian plane to Turkey by two Russian students, are
as much to be condemned as any hijackings that have in-
volved American planes or those of other Western nations
by Cuba-bound psychotics or fanatic Palestinians.
In the first instance, a stewardess was shot to death and
three crew members seriously wounded.
Whatever may have been their grievances against the So-
viet government, the Lithuanians had no right to endanger
the lives of innocent persons and. tragically, take the life of
one. They have committed a capital crime and should not
be permitted to get away with it under the cloak of political
asylum
They, and the two students also, may well have found
life unbearable under the Communist system. Many, many
thousands—millions, if Russia’s Jewish population and the
populations of the satellite countries are added—are ground
under the Soviet heel.
This is most unfortunate, and the Lithuanians and the
students had every right to attempt to flee to freedom, to
take their chances and try to slip across the border as tens
of thousands have done from East Germany.
But no man’s right to personal freedom makes it permis-
sible to involve and jeopardize the lives of innocent third
parties. Only if a man’s own life were in peril, if he faced
certain death in a gas oven or before a firing squad, might
he be justified in going to the extremity of taking another
life to save his own.
It is probably too much to hope that Russia’s experience
with hijackings may now at last lead to real efforts to forge
an international agreement, binding on all nations, which
would require the immediate return of all hijackers and
hijacked planes to the country of origin, with stiff sanc-
tions to be taken against any government that did not
comply.
But this is the only way this hijacking business will be
stopped
It is not pleasant to think of someone who has suffered
real oppression being handed back to his oppressors. But
neither is it pleasant to think of all those planes that have
been hijacked to Cuba, of the thousands of passengers
whose lives have been disrupted and endangered, by hi-
jackers whose oppression has been wholly imaginary.
We can sympathize with the Lithuanians and the stu-
dents. But we cannot condone their acts of air piracy out of
that sympathy—not unless we are ready to condone all the
hijackings that have taken place in the past and all the
hijackings which will undoubtedly take place in the future
until the world community unites to put an end to them.

The more critical point is that the same statement
would apply to any ground forces brought home from
Europe. Unless they were disbanded, the outlook is they
would cost as much or more to maintain here as overseas.
Costs associated with the present heavy two-way flow of
men and materials naturally would go down if the over-
seas forces were cut. But experts say the savings would
be offset by new housing and other operating and mainte-
nance costs necessary to keeping the returned force in
being at home.

WASHINGTON (NEA)
The White House is currently engaged in important
talks on U.S. military force levels, but the prospect is
running strongly against major cuts in the 310,000 men
stationed now in Western Europe.
The bind on the administration is tremendous. President
Nixon is looking hard for ways to cut the huge defense
budget, and that U.S. contingent attached to NATO is an
attractive target. Furthermore, he has promised, under
his "doctrine” to lower America’s profile around the
world—and there also could be pressure next year on
Capitol Hill from liberal lawmakers who want large sums
diverted to home needs.
On the surface the signs might seem good. The newlv
initiated Bonn-Warsaw pact recognizing the post-World
War II Oder-Neisse river line as the Polish-German bor-
der, and the Bonn-Moscow renunciation-of-force treaty
agreed to in August appear to lessen East-West tensions.’
But the Soviet Union is offering no reductions in its
large forces committed to the "defense” of eastern Eu-
rope yet seen always as a threat to the West. In October
at Limerick. Ireland, on his quick European swing Nixon
stoutly reaffirmed a heavy U.S. troop commitment to
NATO.
The matter has another major facet. It is not at all
