With a view of protecting the

station an officer at the easterly

of arresting the apparently half

that section of the town every
day for the purpose of galloping
their horses at a mad rate of
speed along the main thorough

33 hours before today’s game.

and predicted they wo'uld win in

arrived to take second place in the
line. The bleacher seats went on

Paul, who said he had attended
every World Series since 1917,
when he was eight years old,
gloomily declared: “I don’t care
who wins as long as it goes four
straight. I want to get it over

Ridgway Tells of
High Requisites
For Atomic War
DENVER, MPI—Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway said after a conference
with President Eisenhower yes
terday there is “a very definite
possibility” an atomic war would
require more combat strength,
rather than less.
The Army chief of staff told a
news conference “the stakes in
the next world war are survival—
it’s not something you can play
with.”
Ridgway and Secretary of the
Army Stevens came to the Presi
dent’s vacation headquarters to
make what Stevens called a rou
tine report on Army matters.
Ridgway was asked whether an
atomic war would require more
American combat strength or less.
“We see a very definite possi
bility that a war in which atomic
weapons are freely used may re
sult in increased manpower, rath
er than decreased,” Ridgway re
plied.
He added that in an atomic con
flict, the U.S.—as well as any
enemy force—would “face elimi
nation of entire units.” For that
reason, he added, “you’ve got to
be able to replace an entire unit.”
The potential situation means,
Ridgway went on, “that we are
not going to be able to build up
huge concentrations (of manpower
and supplies! against an enemy
with atomic weapons.”
The need, the general said, will
be for much greater dispersal of
combat strength and supply de
"pots.
