Air Force Ability
To Strike Back
Warns Aggressors
WASHINGTON, IB—Increasing
capacity of the U.S. Air Force to
strike back against attack, Sec
retary off Defense Wilson says,
“gives full warning to any aggres
sor of the possible consequences
of rash action . .
In his semi-annual report to the
White House and Congress, Wil
son said Wednesday night a re
view of the whole military situa
tion was aimed at developing
strategy “that would deter both a
major war and local aggression
and . . . could be implemented and
maintained without undermining
the social and economic founda
tions of the nation.”
“Military strength,” he wrote,
“is becoming greater through the
development of increased fire
power on land, on sea and in the
air and through the deplcfyment
of our forces in a way that will
make them more readily available
whenever and wherever they are
needed.”

Stevens Testifies In
Televised Hearings On
McCarthy-Army Row
WASHINGTON, Uf) — Secretary
of the Army Stevens testified to
day that Sen. McCarthy proposed
to him last September, when G.
David Schine was about to be
drafted as a private, that Schine
be given a special assignment to
dig out Communists in the Army.
Stevens said McCarthy said he
thought Schine should be made a
special assistant to the Secretary,
or a special assistant in Army
Intelligence.
Testifying under cross-examin
ation in the second day of the
Senate investigation into the row
between McCarthy and top Army
officials, Stevens said the propo
sition was made to him in the
Waldorf Towers apartment of
Schine’s wealthy parents, Mr. and
Mrs.-Meyer Schine. He said Mc
Carthy invited him to the apart
ment.
Stevens testified under ques
tioning of Ray Jenkins, special
counsel in the nationally televised
inquiry by the Senate Investiga
tions subcommittee.
The Secretary also told the sub
committee that young Schine —•
now 27 and a private in the Army
—told him last October that he
(Stevens) was doing “a good job
in ferreting out Communists” in
the Army.
Schine was formerly an unpaid
consultant to the McCarthy com
mittee in its probe for subversive
influences. A key issue in the
hearing is whether McCarthy and
his top aides brought improper
pressure on the Army to get pre
ferred treatment for Schine.
Stevens testified at the outset
today that one of his first official
acts as secretary was to order a
checkup on security and loyalty
procedures.

Taylor, commander of the U.S.

of the ROK army “beyond the 20
division program now in pro
gress.”

plant near Lexington, Ky., can

bituminous coal annually.
