THE TEREE HAUTE STAB, FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1961. Army May Create New-Type Cavalry Using Helicopters BT FRED S. HOFFMAN WASHINGTON, April (Si Army's efforts to create an air do with helicopters what h'orse soldiers did in the Civil gained new impetus from the increased stress on means to wage limited or guerrilla warfare. President Kennedy has asked Congress for an additional $230 million to buy more equipment and non-nuclear arms to buttress United States readiness in this field. PART OF THIS $230 million- would be spent for some 60 more Army addition to about 200 provided under the Eisenhower administration's final military budget on which Kennedy's proposals are built.

The Army has been experimenting with the air cavalry concept since 1954. Only recently has it settled on the makeup of a basic unit, a 150-man troop or company equipped with 27 reconnaissance and transport helicopters. One such company has been in existence on an experimental basis. A second is expected to be created in the next few months. AT THIS STAGE, the Army is trying to determine how the air cavalry unit would be fitted into the fighting a separate company in a division, as a troop in an armored cavalry regiment or a reconnaissance squadron, or in some other fashion.

As the Army conceives it, an air cavalry unit would perform the kind of service that mounted cavalrymen did in the last century, and tanks handled.in World War II. It could scout ahead of moving columns, reconnoiter the flanks, seek out targets for artillery and rockets, spring raids behind enemy lines. If, for example, scout tanks were stopped by obstacles, helicopters could vault ahead and find out about enemy concentrations and positions. OR IF THE ENEMY was believed hiding in some buildings or clumps of trees, helicopters could come down close and fire a few bursts into the suspected To reduce vulnerability to ground fire, helicopters would hug-the contours of the earth. Hovering a little above tree-top height, they could drop down into protective cover of hills.

The Army sees this type of unit as ideally adapted to a nuclear war battlefield on which units would be widely spaced. As for hit-and-run guerrilla war Army officials say the helicopter would be able to carry small assault units into jungle areas and either land them in tiny clearings or lower them by rope to the ground. Development toward an air cavalry force in being has been slow. But officials say the new emphasis on limited-guerrilla warfare capability has added urgency to the Army's look at its plans.

Trlbvne-Star Want (rn deitxi. able cost results. Call C-1331. U. Russia Raee For Achievements In Many Fields BY HARRY W.

FRANTZ WASHINGTON, April race between the United States and the Soviet Union for technological advances is being extended automatically to new fields of human endeavor, according to recent official publications in both Moscow and Washington. The race in space sciences and the Russian effort to "catch up" with the United States in livestock have been dramatic features of international life for several years. BUT NOW the technical'competi-' tion is becoming apparent in such, fields as desalinification of sea water, scientific use of of storm damage, the treatment of heart diseases, and oceanography. Scientists here do not evaluate possible political effects of the technical rivalry on the "cold war." But they believe the rivalry will accelerate the worldwide technological revolution, and will give all nations new criteria to judge the relative contributions of the United States and the Soviet Union to the progress and welfare of humanity. United States and Russian scientists have both worked harmoniously in Antarctica since the International Geophysical Year started in 1957.

ENGLISH translations of principal Russian technical research projects are now being issued almost daily by the office of technical services in the Commerce Department and widely distributed. Three of these publications issued recently were of extraordinary timeliness because of United States programs in similar fields. A Russian research report on the reclamation of saline soils was translated at request of the United States Department of Agriculture. In this report a Russian scientist recommended international cooperation in exploring methods for reclaiming desert and semiarid lands where large irrigation programs are contemplated. HE SAID saline soils are a matter of concern to Communist China, India, Australia, Egypt and the United States.

He did not suggest which countries might participate in such an effort, but the publication indicated Russian familiarity with proceedings of the International Congress on Irrigation and Drainage held at San Francisco 1957. The United States government has a well-developed national research program on desalinifica- tion, and President Kennedy's strong support of a larger and swifter program was a considerable political factor in the West prior to his In a message to Congress on natural resources, the Presidenl said no water program was oi greater long-range importance than the conversion of salt sea water into potable water for homes and industrial supplies He recommended a doubling of the. present United States experiment program. SCIENTIFIC quarters here believe the United States is presently ahead of the Soviet Union in the technology of salt watei conversion. But Russian SOL science has always been highly rated by American specialists.

The Commerce Departmeni last month issued a translation of a Russian publication on "Forest Resources of the Soviet Union and the World." It recapitulated and analyzed the forest resources in all the countries of the world. The Russian foreword to this publication said, "The Communist Party of the Soviet Union aims not only to catch up with, but also to overtake the highly developed capitalistic countries in the production of industrial and consumer goods, per capita of population; this aim fully pertains both to the forestry and to the timber industries." PRESIDENT Kennedy's mesage on natural resources said United States forest lands "present the sharpest challenge to our foresight." He predicted a doubling of timber consumption within 40 years, and warned that the present cutting rate is rapidly using up the original growth of trees in the western United States. He urged reforestation and improved productivity on 500 million acres of commercial forest land. A third Russian technical publication has stirred unusual interest dealt with the basic research by the Soviet Arctic Scientific Research Institute on methods of speeding the thawing of frozen areas. The Russians claimed development of a "physical chemical method" by which ice and snow at some places along the northern sea route could be thawed a1 one-sixtieth of the cost of using an icebreaker to do a comparable ice-removing job.

THE RUSSIAN report said that one month before flood time, the ice surface is treated by aerial spraying of salvaged foundry sand followed by waste diesel oil. The sand is heated bj the sun's rays and the oijy liquid retards evaporation of the melting water. This latter step hastens the melting action. The Russian- research was oi timely interest in the United States because many -of its eastern cities have had great trouble during past Winter in clearing away ice and snow after abnormal snowstorms.

Question: What Should Church Look Like Now? BT GEORGE W.

CORNELL Associated Press Religion Writer The churches are struggling to discover what they ought to look like. In the midst of the biggest re- igious building boom in American history, a wide-ranging quest on to develop a style of structure that best meets the needs and expresses the message of 20th-century Christianity. "The answer has not been found," says Columbia University architect Eugene Raskin. 'But in a thousand church-board meeting rooms and a thousand architects' offices, the search goes on." IT IS A SEARCH that has radiated in many and sundry directions, and resuUer in a variegated melange of new church designs, often individualistic and startling, and breaking widely with traditional patterns. One thing seems clear.

WILLIAM SHOPA Services for William Shopa, 13 years old. who died in Northport, Long Island. New York, N. are scheduled for this morning there with requiem mass to follow. He was the grandson of Mrs.

Jane O'Brien of 2238 Second Avenue, and the son colonial belfries, the elaborate frescos, pillars and', porticos are giving, way to more functional, contemporary styles. A definite turn in the road has been taken, says Boston architect Arland A. Dirlam. "Contemporary architecturehas proved itself. It is not longer merely a fad but truly a trend." -f HE ADDS, however, that there is "confusion everywhere" among both church leaders and just what factors should dominate the design of churches in the present age.

That is the situation, as about 1,200 architects and church leaders got set to meet in Pittsburgh next week, from Tuesday through Thursday, at a national church architectural conference. "Monstrosities, monuments and models" is the title of the keynote address to be given by Presbyterian theologian Dr. ophilus M. Taylor. Those words reflect the reactions to the variety of new church buildings now going up.

IN ANY CASE, at the height of an unprecedented spiral in church building outlays that last year topped a billion dollars for the first time, church design is in a state of flux. "The dismaying fact is that for the first time in Christian history, the church building has ceased to exercise a formative influence on all architecture," says the Rev. Marvin P. Halver- sqn, specialist on church art forms. In past periods, church architecture has taken on definite qualities, reflecting the mood of the times.

Out of the Middle Ages, with its view of God as impenetrable mystery, came the awesome cathedrals with dim vaults and remote altars. -f "TODAY the poor architect just does not know what his church is to say," Raskin writes in the Nation. "A new and valid contemporary c-hurch expression must be found, regardless of how many eyebrows are lifted or sentiments 4 Many conditions have arisen in religious life spurring architectural changes, including the demand for educational and recreational facilities. Liturgical reforms also have brought closer ties between congregation and altar. "We recognize that we are in the ugly duckling stage," Dirlam writes in the Christian Century.

The worship area, he says, still dominates in present churches, but it is complemented with nurseries, modern kitchens, classrooms, business-like administration offices, and youth parlors with coke machines and record players. The Pittsburgh conference is being sponsored by the Church Architectural Guild of America and the National Council of Churches. Seven Year Project LAKE PLACID, N. Y. Seven years ago, the little horns of the Church of the Nazarene in this Adirondack community was condemned and its 23 members left without a meeting place.

Seven months later, the congregation voted to b'uild a new church on the same site. Last fall, the new building, valued at $50,000 and almost paid for, was dedicated. Members had contributed $16,000 in free labor. Contributions to the building fund came from Texas. Florida, Ohio, Missouri, Massachusetts and elsewhere.
