SHAPE Playing For Time
To Build De%er?sive Force
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
PARIS. — (NEA) — SHAPE — General Eisen
hower’'s Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in
Europe—has to be seen to be believed. The building
itself is a one-story rambler and strictly tempor
ary, with a long, central corridor behind a plain
reception center, and a dozen wings leading off at
either side. Ike and his personal staff of brain
\trusters occupy fourth wing left.
There are carpets on the floor, curtains and
drapes at the windows of the top offices and prin
eipal conference rooms. There is a dining room for
ssop officers and a cafeteria for “all'ranks.” There
\are, in fact, several cafeteria lines to accommodate
'the differences in pay of Amrerican and FEuropean
military personnel.
It is a real international headquarters. Of the 258
staff officers, 110 are Americans, headed by Gen=-
eral Alfred M. Gruenther, chief of staff. Forty-five
are British, 40 French. Ten of the 12 North Atlantic
‘Treaty countries are represented, Iceland and Por=
tugal being the exceptions. Tiny Luxembourg has
one officer assigned. A new staff school is being
started to train officers assigned here. Eventually
the staff will grow to about 500 officers. This will
be about half the size of Ike's SHAEF staff in World
War IL
It is the contagious spirit of the place that im
presses the newcomer almost immediately. National
prestige is subordinated. Though the United States
provides the leadership, the international nature of
staff problems is stressed.
SHAPE HAS TWO-FOLD MISSION
The specific problem facing SHAPE is a two
fold mission. First is to develop forces to prevent
war. Second, if this is not successful, to operate the
forces they have to best advintage.
Russian forces in Eastern Europe are now con
cluding fall maneuvers. So are the North Atlantic
Treaty nations’ forces that would oppose them. In
blunt language, the making of a war is here now,
if the Soviet forces decided to keep on nrarching
west. :
There is no speculation at SHAPE on what the
Soviet will do. All effort is concentrated on what
the Soviet could do. Six months ago it was freely
stated that if the Soviet armies marched, they could
reach the English Channel in 20 days. Today the
estimate is 35 days. There has been that much im
syprovement. The goal is to build a force that could
stop a Soviet advance cold.
Total Soviet forces are estimated at four million
men, with 20,000 planes. Sixty-five of Russia’s 175
divisions are mechanized. Russia could mobilize
300 divisions in 30 days, from reserves, but some
would be second class. In addition, satellite forces
are estinrated 4t 150,000 to 200,000 men, but not
first-class units. Turkish, Greek and Yugoslav
forces facing this satellite front are now considered
.superior.
In eastern Germany, Russia is believed to have
25 divisions and 8,000 planes., Russian forces have
not been greatly changed in the last few years, but
their equipment is better and they are better
trained.
It is sufficient to say that Allied forces facing
them on the western front are not so many nor so
ready, now, But one year from now the Soviet cap
ability would be deadened unless Russia masses
new supplies and more troops.
EMPHASIZE PRESENT, BUT LOOK TO FUTURE
To build up European morale, the SHAPE staff
—while emphasizing readiness to meet a Soviet
surprise attack with present NATO forces—keeps
pointing to the future. They emphasize what forces
will be one, two and three years from now.
While Russia might overrun Europe now, it would
be the first battle of what would be a long war. The
Soviet would be subjected to a devastating strategic
air attack. That would further weaken Russia’s in
dustrial potential, which even now is considered
inferior to the West's.
In 1946, Stalin stated the Russian industrial goal
as 60-million-tons steel capacity a year. They now
have 40 nrillion. The goal for oil capacity was 60
million tons. They now have 40 million tons. The
goal was 500 million tons of coal. They now have
265 million tons.
In the meantime, western European military and
economic strength have been greatly improved.
Military budget of The Netherlands has been in
creased 61 percent over pre-Korea, The Belgian in
. crease has been 69 percent, the British 72 percent,
the French 85 percent. And in the U. S. and Canada,
the increase has been over 200 percent.
Conscription has been increased by the Dutch
| from 12 to 20 months. By the Belgians 12 to 24
months. By Italy, 12 to 18 months, France has in
creased conscription from 10 to 12 months. It
should be higher, but it is believed that is coming.
These are some of the principal factors which
i keep the spirit of the SHAPE general staff high,
though their problems are many.
.
Only If Russia Honestly Seeks
.
Peace Can UN Be Universal.
Prime Minister Nehru of India believes the
United Nations should be reorganized to give it
“wider appeal and a firmer grasp of reality.”
“It was meant to be a universal organization,” he
said. “It is something less now.”
Certainly as conceived at San Francisco the UN
was intended to be universal. That it is not novw is
due entirely to the refusal of the Soviet Union to
work honestly for the fulfillment of the UN’s ob=-
jectives of peace and justice.
Nehru is right when he declares the UN today
less than universal. But he is wrong when he im
agines anything can be done about it in a world
that contains Russian Communism,
No worid organization that his or any other im
agination could invent would serve properly as a
universal peace agency so long as Russia is irrevo
cably committed to the sabotage of genuine peace.
The sincerity of all its members is an inescapable
fundamental in any international organization. And
the Kremlin is not sincere.
Without the honest devotion of all parties, how
then could the UN be made to function better on a
universal level? Nehru does not face that issue. He
implies that the UN has become a sounding board
for the West; it's obvious, too, he is thinking of its
refusal to admit Red China. But how could the UN
behave otherwise—given the unchanging Soviet at
titude.
To “widen the appeal” of the UN under existing
conditions could only mean to mrake major conces
sions to the Russian viewpoint. But every move
Moscow has made since the Cold War began makes
it evident that such concessions would not be taken
as a prelude to a real understanding. They would
be seized upon for Communism’s advantage, and
they would be followed by new demands for other
concessions,
Russia did not join the UN out of devotion to
peace. It joined because it saw in such membership
a capital opportunity to propagandize and to im
pede the free world's earnest endeavors toward a
more orderly existence. To the Kremlin, the UN is
merely one more front in a many-sided campaign
against free men.
Nehru begs the question when he assumes the
UN can be successfully reorganized with a wrecker
in its midst. It is he, not the UN, who needs a
firmer grasp on reality.
The United Nations may become a truly univer
sal body when circumstances of increased Western
strength force Russia to abandon or drastically
modify its plans for conquest of the globe. Until
that time, it can only be as universal as those na
tions which sincerely seek peace.
In the interval, the task of the peace-loving
countries is to make the UN serve their collective
purpose as effectively as possible under handicap.
What is important at this stage is not a sterile in
sistence upon a universality that spells inaction,
but positive, coordinated measures for peace by
those who believe in it.
The UN was created to help preserve the peace,
not to bring all the natlons o= the earth together in
endless discussion signifying nothing.
Time's A-Wastin’
Trained scientific and technical manpower is one
of the worst bottlenecks today in the Anrerican
economy. Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson re
cently appealed to industry and government to de=
velop cooperative programs with U. S. colleges to
supply more men equipped to do jobs vital to our
projected expansion in arms.
Now comes a survey by Dr. Robert Love, presi
dent of the Association of University Evening Col
leges, showing that more than half of the 77 col
leges in the group already are giving defense in
dustry and other business courses exactly suited to
such a program.
In many cases, industries are working -closely
with downtown colleges to provide technical courses
that give valuable training to qualified workers.
But the big point is that the schools are equip
ped to do much more but are not yet being called
upon by business to do it. Business needs better
trained men. The nation’s evening colleges are
ready to serve. What are we waiting for?
.
Extra Air Strength
Announcement of Joint Chiefs of Staff agree
ment to raise U. S. Air Force from an authorized 95
to 140 wings doesn’t tell the whole story. It doesn’t
take into account Naval and Marine aviation
strength, National Guard aviation, nor Reserve
aviation,
Air Force now has 87 regular wings plus five
National Guard wings not in Federal service., Navy
has the equivalent of 19 fighter wings and six light
bomber wings. This brings total strength to equiva
lent of 117 wings today, or 165 when the Air Force
reaches its goal of 140.
In addition, there are 86 wings of reserves in
various stages of readiness and planning. Some
have full quotas of pilots and ground crews, but
not the latest models of planes. Thirty of these
wings are Air Force reserve, 33 are Navy fighter
wings, and 23 are Navy anti-submarine, patrol and
transport wings.
The thing wrong with religion today the world
over, and especially in America, is that it is too
centrally heated and comfortable—Murdo E. Mac-
Donald, pastor of an Edinburgh Presbyterian
Church.
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATPENS, GEORGIA
Poor Man's Philosopher Adds His
Two Cents Worth On Love Probe
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK -— (AP) - Cupid
must be laughing fit to split his
sides at the United States govern
ment.
It has set out to solve the time
less mysteries of love and mar
riage—on an appropriation of
$12,000.
The tirst session of the 82nd
Congress appropriated some $95,-
000,000,000. It conducted more
than 100 separate inquiries into
matters ranging from how mink
coats get into the White House to
the unemployment problems of
Gen, Douglas MacArthur,
But when Washington had a
chance to make a real investiga
tion of benefit to all—how people
fall in love, and what happens
then?—it pulled the purse strings
tight.
It allotted a miserly $12,000 to
Prof. Robert F. Winch, a North
western University socliologist, to
finance an 18-month study into
what love is, and to tabulate “the
gratifications and frustrations” of
marriage today.
Colossal Insult
It strikes me that such a sum is
a colossal insult to the common
man, and certainly a misguided
gesture toward economy in gov
ernment.
Why Tommy Manville and many
another millionaire have probably
spent more than $12,000 on a love
problem in a single weekend—and
never come up with a satisfactory
answer. Hollywod has budgeted
movie kisses that cost more than
$12,000 to screen.
Prof. Winch’s study is being con
ducted under the auspices of the
National Institute of Mental
Health. But I will wager that for
$12,000 he will be unable to give
a complete picture of the hearts
fractured by puppy love in any
one kindergarten classroom, let
alone explore the intracies of adult
married love.
This is no criticism of the pro
fessor, who is 40, has a wife, and
has probably spent more than
$12,000 charting his own marital
voyage. But such a small sum!—
it is like giving a child a penny
and telling him to erect another
Empire State Building.
To define and understand love,
to achieve happy wedlock—these
are tremendous tasks. They have
challenged poets and warriors,
cobblers and kings, husbands and
wives, for centuries.
1t the government now is going
to probe into such affairs, it
oughtn’t to turn the job over to
one lone scholar, working on a
grant that wouldn’t keep Gypsy
Rose Lee mothproofed.
No, this investigation demands
the massed talent of the mightiest
minds in America. It is clearly a
problem for Congress.
Isn’t love the biggest gamble in
life? Isn’t the way some married
people treat each other and their
children a national crime? How'
about that, Senator Kefauver? A
real target for your old commit-I
tee,
Love—Habit-forming |
Love is so widespread and habit
forming, however, that I think the
whole Congress might well turn
its entire attention to the matter
for several years. It could start
by adopting a budget of $50,000,-
000,000 and distributing it among
the people, by lot, to see how
money really affects their love
life. (If you draw a small straw,
you get SI,OOO. If you draw the
longest straw, you get $1,000,000.)
1 have in mind making love the
most romantic circus in history,
featuring daily television pro
grams on which our good gray
statesmen could query selected
witnesses on their love dreams
and marital adventures.
A few possible programs:
“Overtures In a Nursery,” “The
Suburban Husband Who Misses
the Last Train Home,” “How to
Heal a Broken Heart in High
School,” “Love Problems of a Phi
losophic Bartender,” “Married Life
In the Lower Bronx,” “How Mar
riage Came to Hollywood and
What Became of It,” and “Two
Can Live As Cheap As One, But
Why Do They Always Have to?”
The taxpayers would be glad to
vote fifty billion bucks for a pro
ject that would get them real life

that. i
} Personally, I doubt if Congress
will find out anything more than
any fiundmother alrucg knows—
that love is a feeling that draws
two vfeOp:e together, and marriage
provides them a way, if they work
at it, to remain together in gen
eral loving-kindness and keep the
human race running. But if every
American just learned that fact,
it would still be the best-spent
$50,000,000,000 #ny legislature

And if, in addition, Congress by
some miraclé should come up with
a way of making the path of true
love always run smooth — well,
now, wouldn't that the the great
est highway paving project ever?
