Such a Russian invitation to the Allies to avoid atomic war by trying to stop them in the usual way of old-fashioned wats would have fome appeal to the West Euro penns who living near Russia fear, being consumed in atomic furnaces. But they could hardly survive if they tried to fight an old-fashioned war judging from the comparative estimates of the ground forces of Russians and the 14- momber North Atlantic Treaty Or- garization. Person NATO land strength has bern unofficially figured at 100 divisions, including forces of Greece attd Turkey within a month mobilization. A month might tea late.

Nevertheless the final decision on atomic weapons Will be in the hands of the civilian heads of the NATO governments not the military commanders provided they have tie to consult and decide, tt was with this new atomic ar- fcenal of NATO in mir.d that Sec- letary of State Dulles this week confidently predicted the Russians would be thrown back at the 'threshold" if they tried an attack. Any decision on trying to stop the Russian atomically would fall into two parts, depending on what the Russians did. The Russians could be hit tactically with atomic weapons limited to military targets. Or they could be hit tactically and strategically. The latter would incude bombing far in the rear perhaps on Russian cities.

If the Allies hit the Russians with atomic fire tactically but not strategically, the Russians in order to avoid atomic retaliation on their rear might want to reply with atomic weapons tactically too, but only tactically. If either the Russians or the West started strategic bombing the full atomic war be on since the one so attacked would reply in kind, and in a hurry if it still could. At his news conference Dulles seemed clearly to be saying that if the Russians attack in Europe they will be hit at once with atom- weapons used tactically. But when he was asked if the West vould also hit Russia strategical- he declined a direct answer. He said he didn't want to hand the Russians that kind of information BAD SITUATION MARINETIE is.

GREETINGS at May the hallowed peace And blessings be with you always, CITYCLEANE 6y JAMtS MAR LOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON Oft Why are the American armed forces being cut in numbers with most of the reduction in ground troops from the present strength of 3,218,000 to 2.815,000 by mid-1956? President Eisenhower has already given one explanation. He'll probably be asked for another because two of his right-hsnd men Secretary of State Dulles and Secretary of Defense Wilson gave explanations which didn't sound the same. When he was asked about the reduction at a news conference Doc. 15 Eisenhower said the cold war may last 50 years and this country, in order to stand the long pull, must save on defense every dollar it can afford to.

On Dec. 20 Wilson told a news conference after announcing the exsct size of thp cut, that it is being made because the Elsen- hower administration believes the ihreat of global war has diminished. Yesterday, Dec. 21, Dulles was asked at his news conference whether the military cutback was made because of any feeling war is further away or because this country has developed such powerful new weapons. Dulles eplied: "The reductions are not due to the fact that we consider the threat has diminished bu merely due to the fact that we think that we have pther ways to cope with the danger." Eisenhower's explanation was understandable as far as it went because the administration has tried to cut defense costs where it could, but some newsmen though they saw a' conflict between the Dulles and Wilson explanations.

Dulles didn't say exactly the didn't think the danger of war hail decreased, but he put the reason for defense manpower cuts on new weapons while Wilson put it on less fear of war. Had Dulles emphasized belief that war fears had decreased, this country's European allies might feel it was safe for the United States to cut is armed forces they could start cutting theirs. As reassurance to the Europeans, Dulles stressed that this country hag intentions of reducing or withdrawing any of its troops in. Europe. Henry Suydam "Dulles' press officer, asked -howji he cojld reconcile what appeared to be a conflict between the Dulles and Wilson statements.

He said he saw no. conflict. Nevertheless; this would jnp.t be the- first ofcted Jeter. I In October' 1953, Wilson told a news coherence the development of new weapons would eventually permit this country to pull some of its troops cut of Europe. Allies there were alarmed.

Tc calm them in the fall of 1953 DuUes said this country had n6 plans to cat back its forces in Europe, a statement ho repeated a number of times afterwards, including yesterdajr.
