A Strange Paradox
T1IE United Stitto* mill itn European alllf* have long rwog>
I nixed thnt the atomic »»omb U their great daftM* against
Soviet aggrcaolon. Stt It muat come a» something <>' «
mirtirliM*—iH'rhapo even a shock—to the average dtixen to
ii'tTlse that no concertetl plan exists for use of the A-bomb
In event of Kuaaian attack.
Thut does not mean, of course, that no plan of nn.v
kintl exieta. The U. 8. atrutegic air command haa devised
and la atill devising tactical ami atrutegical techniques for
employment of the bomb. Some of SAC'a planea are currently
based in Hrltain, presumably ready to deliver a devaatatlng
load on Kuaaia'a cities in retaliation for any attack.
But neither there nor any other SAC planea are under
command of General Kidgway. chief of the NATO force*
which are generally regarded aa the princi|ail defenaive
reliance of the weatern world.
DJDGWAY could aummon the aid of the U. S. bombing
I* forct. in uii emergency. That force la accepted a* a vital
laickatop for the regular NATO unita in Europe. Hut because
it ia not integrated into NATO in any fashion, no NATO
lilanning cau be done involving the atomic bomb.
U. S. law governing atomic energy la ho atrict that
Ridgwuy cannot even diacuaa with Ilia HHaiatanta, Hritiah
Field Marshal Montgomery and French General Jilin, the
operational phaaea of tactical atomic weapon* developed by
the l\ S.
Thia la a strange iwradox. The organisation aet up to
defend the free world ia unable to plan for the use of the
weapon which ia admittedly its greateat prop.
|T may well be true that many thing* about the mnking
' of atomic wea|M»ns cannot aafely lie passed on, even to
our allies. Nevertheless, it would seem to be necessary.
I»th in the interests of gm>d military planning and in
justice to our allies, to work out some arrangement for
A-homb consultation.
If war should come, the great centers of western Europe
would is* immediate enemy targets. The concern of the
Kuro|ieun nations over how the latmh would la* used ia
therefore understandable. We cannot in one breath assure
them the bomb la their chief protection, and in the next
declare they can’t know anything about how we plan to
use it.
The question of how much we should properly tell our
allies ia indeed a delicate one. Hut it cannot be left unsettled
if we are to have intelligent planning for the joint defense
of the free countries. Here ia but one more stiff challenge
to the incoming Eisenhower administration.
If you marry once for real love, you have a good chance
of never doing it again.
No matter how much time you find to look for it, loat
time is never found again.

Production Lag is Real Curse
Of Ammo Shortages in Korea
ITT ABHI NCI TON, Jan. 6-iNEAl—
™ (tom* high-up military knuckles
were rapped sharply following the
recent Pentagon press conference In
which an attempt was made to alibi
ihr ammunition shortage In Korea.
The ronfernce waa held by Major
Oenerala William O. Reeder and J.
K. Christmas, who head the 0-4
or supply section of the General
Staff. It was an obvious attempt to
explain away tha wave of criticism
over ammunition rationing In Ko-
rea.
Reporters questioned tha two gen-
eral! for over an hour. Their dis-
patch** of the day following report-
«d accurately tha official Pentagon
Una:
It took time to gat back In pro-
duction. Field commanders some-
times shoot off everything they have
on hand. The only way to satisfy
them was to buy far too much. Con-
gress has bean alow In staking ap-
propriation*. And after all. “the re-
sponsibility land* on tha American
people aa much aa anybody.”
Whan Defense Secretary Robert
A. Lovett returned to Washington
from the North Atlantic Treaty
council meeting In Parte he waa
greeted by them dispatch**. He Im-
mediately amt for a transcript of
tha pram conference. It ran to 20
typewritten pages, tingle-spaced
rftnz secretary read this with
1 amassment Ha let tt be known
that he felt the Army had overstat-
ed IU caa*. Tha Army's aid* of the
story was characterised as a right-
eous place of saifservlng seldom sur-
passed.
The fact Is that Department of
Defense officials have been trying
to get this Korean ammunition sup-
ply problem licked for over a year
without success. Btnce September
Secretary Lovett haa had Hugh
Dean, a retired Oenerals Motors
vice president, as defense expediter.
His top priority problem has been
ammunition supply.
The major shortages are In 106
and 136-mm artillery shells Field
commanders like to hava a 80-day
supply on hand In the theater of
operations. These reserves are not
on the ground In Korea at this time,
and that accounts for rationing of
heavy artillery shells
Production of shellloadlng plants
Is at varying rataa. Some plants
are operating two 10-hour shlfu a
day. six days a week. Others are on
a one-shift operation. BtlU others
have only a pilot line going, train-
ing crews. And still others are only
empty buildings, waiting for ramod-
cling and machine tuola. which Osn-
era! Reeder my* are still In short
supply.
AT the start of the Korean wer,
A ammunition supplies were tak-
en from left-over World War II re-
serves The demand waa aet for a
minor police action This waa ap-
parently the first mistake.
Congms appropriated 1100 mil-
lion for ammunition supply In Sep-
tember. I860 Next year It was 82,-
200.000. Last year It was around 83
billion and thu year It Is about tha
same amount.
That Is 866 billion for ammunition
supply alone since the start of the
Korean war. Demands from Europe,
Indo-China and other foreign coun-
tries receiving military aid have had
to be met out of these appropria-
tions. Also, U. 8. reserves have had
to be built up But the first call haa
obviously been for tha shooting war
in Korea. That this demand haa
not been met doesn't make sense,
considering the lime and money that
have been spent to get going.
One factor that had some bearing
on the production lag waa the drill
from brass to steel case* for shaBa
of all slars
The resulting saving in copper and
brass was tremendous But steal
shell production llqe* were not built
up Immediately. It there fore toob
longer to get going when the Ko-
rean demand rame through.
