By that time, he will be 51 years old and will have completed 30 years of service. Gavin made it plain his decision was a protest against the handi, caps he felt there were on his work. "I won't compromise my principles and I won't go along with the Pentagon system," Gavin said. Sen, Kefauver (D-Tenn) said Gavin's stand emphasizes what he called a need for Congress to consider overhauling the present military setup. Gavin said that haven't been able to get much done, the system being what it is." Without elaborating on this, he said he is "not doing any good" inside the Army "so I'll take a cut at it on the As a civilian, Gavin said, he would be freer to "recommend, to apply creative thinking to national defense." Testifying before the Senate Preparedness subcommittee last month, Gavin said the Joint Chiefs of Staff system should be abolished for -its present purposes of planning over-all military programs.

He suggested that it be replaced by a planning group not specifically representing the different armed services. Gavin said at the lime that he was not criticizing any past or present military or civilian leaders at the Pentagon. But he expressed dissatisfaction with the present system under which decisions are reached by compromise among the operating heads of the services. Several Preparedness subcommittee members asked that the group look into reports that Gavin was threatened with transfer to some obscure post unless he changed some of his views on the missiles program.

Rockefeller Report-For Big Increase In Defense Spending WASHINGTON A civilian sludy group says Ihe nation's strategy and military forces are out of step with the lempo of Ihc missile age and peed big changes billions more in money. Defense spending should be increased, about three billion dollars ea'ch year for the next several years, said a special 21-man panel of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund: "It appears that the United States is rapidly losing its lead over the U.S.S.R. in the military race," the panel said in a report. "For perhaps the next two years, we still possess a superiority in strategic striking power and any Soviet attack on us would meet a crushing reply. But our position a year or two hence depends on decisions which must be taken immediately.

Unless present trends are reversed, the world balance of power will shift in favor of Ihe Soviet bloc." The While House declined comment on the Rockefeller group's recommendations. Press secretary James C. Hag- erly said Ihe State of the Union message President Eisenhower will submit to Congress Thursday "will the President's thinking on defense security." In reply to questions, Hagcrty said be assumed, a copy of the gr p's recommendations had been sent lo Ibe White House, but lie added he did not know whether Eisenhower had had a chance to study the recommendations. Summing up findings in a study which began in 1956, the panel concluded among other things that: 1. Strategy "lags behind developments in technology 1 and "the United States is rapidly losing its lead in the race of military technology." The lag in missiles and space machines "reflects our national complacency." 2.

Strategy, as evolved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is "a patchwork of compromise" among the rival armed forces. The Joint Chiefs of Staff "functions too often as a committee of partisan adversaries engaged in advancing service strategic plans and compromising service differences." The panel said the JCS chairman "should be in a position to shape strategic planning," with the other members merely advising him. It added the secretary of defense now is compelled to devote much of his time to acting as a referee in service disputes. 3.

Cancel Concert FORNOVA DI SAN GIOVANNI, Italy UPt-This little north Italian town called off its annual Epiphany fife concert today because of a fife breaking fight about soprano Maria Meneghini Callas.

Worst hit from floods were the Rio Grande Valley at the southern tip of Texas, and areas around Corpus Christi, about 130 miles up the Gulf of Mexico The snows which stranded motorists fell from the Marfa area Texas' Big Bend north for 300 miles or so into the Plainview area in the south, plains, and on into New Mexico.

Lesser snows farther norlh and drifted as much as three feet in some areas. The turbulent weather sent vaves crashing into Padre Island, a low, sand-built island that runs for 120 miles along the Texas coast. Eight persons were stranded overnight on the island and the Coast Guard dropped food and water to them. Two Na'vy helicopters evacuated eight from Padre today. At midmorning, water was not perceptibly receding in the lower Rio Grande Valley city of Edinburg, which was worst hit by the high' water.

It was draining somewhat elsewhere. The slow runoff in the flat country meant, officials said, that most of the 400 or so evacuated in Edinburg could not return to their homes until tomorrow. Five hundred persons were taken from flooded homes at Bishop and 500 at Robstown, in the Corpus Christi area yesterday. The snow and rain that extended central New Mexico across west and south central Texas was touched off by a cold air mass that moved into the area over the weekend. More than 500 vehicles remained stranded in cos, Alpine and in West Texas as the heavy snow, ranging up to 20 inches in depth, all but stopped highway travel in eastern New Mexico and adjacent areas of Texas.
