U.S. Seeks Unit For Atom Warfare WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 An administration decision to halt the cutback in Army strength has spurred an intensive search for the right sized division to fight and survive in an atomic war. Pentagon planners last year figured the Army could drop about one-third of its post-World War II strength of 1,600.000 after a military armistice in Korea.

The planners, backed by the administration in preparing the current military budget, told the Army that it would have to cut its manpower to 1,100.000 by June, 1955, and thereafter take further cuts. To Avoid Cuts But the Army now expects to avoid the future cuts and keep its forces at least up to the rnan level on the basis of a decision by the National Security Council that the total strength of the armed forces 11 months from now should stay al just over three million instead of dropping down to about 2,800,000. That decision was disclosed during the weekend by John Hannah he left the post of assistant secretary of defense to resume the prwideocy rf HicfeiftB SMU Cot- Ai a result, the Army has been encouraged to busy, itself working out the best ways to use this strength, with the administration's assurance that the military manpower levels will not be cut further for some years to come. Bard Pit Sen. Matthew B.

Ridgway. Army chief of (taff, said at the outset that the Army would be hard put to meet the commitments around the world with reduced forces. In a i the cutbacks in Army strength the administration has in effect gone part of the way toward accepting Ridgway's contentions. Hannah said the change was made primarily because of the necessity to keep strong in the Far East. Army planners, meanwhile, are working overtime to devise the best sizes of units to take and hold the battlefield under atomic warfare conditions.

Officers are now busy working out alternative schemes on paper The next step will be to turn these paper plans over to field experts to be torn apart, remade or mod ified in rhap exercizes. From the planning and map rooms various sizes of divisions will be fot testing purposes and the Army field forces will put them through paces under simulated atom- warfare conditions. Sire Varies The full-strength size of an Army ivision has varied over the years ran 15,000 to 20,000 men, and is ow 18.000, Nobody is now repared to state positively what he eventual size will be. The Army is convinced thai the ivisions will be smaller than they re today and that atomic weap- ns, with their capabilities for lass destruction, will force divi- ions to spread out in the field, sideways and in depth. But experts say it may be nec- ssary also to plan on replacing ntire units, such as regiments, a time.

By keeping a reserve of uch replacement units unassigned, Army may end up with no more than the '17 or in divisions iiat it expects to be able to or- anize with its authorized strength next year.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1 (AP--The AFL Air Line Pilots on strike against American Airlines, the ation largest air carrier--said tonight its members also ave voted to strike against Trans-World Airlines and 'nited Air Lines. But a union spokesman said no strike date has been et and no strike action is contemplated in the near future gainst the two air lines.

He said United and TWA pilots voted three weeks ago walk out when and if union officers call a strike. The nion's dispute with TWA and United is over scheduling onstop transcontinental flights of more than eight hours- he same dispute which has grounded American Airlines lanes. The spokesman said the union takes about 50 strike otes a year and usually does not announce results "unless actually intend to take strike action." He indicated the union takes the position that TWA nd United will accept whatever settlement is made with merican Airlines so that strike action against the other wo carriers probably will 1 ot be necessary. The last American Airlines lanes were grounded today pilots returned to their ome bases.
