Matthew B. Kidg waylaid at President Eisenhower's bead-quarters Tuesday that with survival of the nation at stake in any atomij war, there probably would be need for more armed manpower than ever army chief-of-staff, made the "statement at a news conference after he and Secretary of the Arnyr Stevens had given the president a progress report, on building up combat strength.

"We see a very definije possibility that a war in which atomic weapons were freely used may result in a neid for increased manpower rather than decreased," Ridgway declared. "The stakes In the next world war are survival. It's not something you can play with. The. whole survival of our people as an Independent nation may be at stake." Ridgway's remarks appeared to amount to implied criticism of any advocates of relying on air power and atomic weapons at the expense of a reduction in ground forces strength.

In reply to a question, the general said the United States now has 25 divisions including six in training. But he would not say whether he is satisfied with that strength. After Eisenhower's conference with Ridgway and Stevens there were these other developments at the president's vacation headquarters: 1. The chief executive Jumfed into a congressional campaign scrap with a statement that administration campaign critics who contend the government's rural electrification program will be curtailed drastically are generating a "fear psychology" and have "ends to serve that they consider 'more Important than the truth." "I am convinced that our rural population will not be misled by such reckless and irresponsible statements," Eisenhower wrote. He added that "we shall completely meet next financing needs for these programs," which he said have been stepped up generally during the lastH year.

2. Eisenhower ordered stiff er penalties for all service men and women who are absent without leaves. For one thing, hereafter they will be subject to dishonorable discharge if during a 12-month period they are convicted of four offenses which singly do not call for such discharge. I. The president conferred with Dr.

Arthur F. Burns, chairman of his council of economic advisers. Burns flew from Washington for the 'meeting his first with Eisenhower In more than five weeks but did not meet with newsmen after the session. Stevens and Ridgway termed their conference with Eisenhower a routine visit, but added in reply to questions that they discussed, among other things, the army's "continuing effort to maximize its combat strength."

UPI AnXes-capee from behind the iron curtain, a top ranking Polish -se curity officer, turned up in Washington Tuesday.

He declared that resistance to communist regimes is widespread throughout the Soviet satellite countries. The oifcml is Jozef Swiatlo, who was No. 2 man in commu nist Poland's security, program. TheT States government had kept him secretly in Washington for eight months, and lifted the veil of secrecy only Tuesday. No one explained the delay.

Gives Out News Facts gwiatlo, a stocky, ruddy faced of 39, spoke with newsmen at a farranging press conference at which he said: 1.

But the United States "should do everything jt can to bolster the spirit of re sistance. 2. "There Is a great movement for resistance" against the Mos-; cow.

directed red leaders in Poland. Thia. resistance shows up "among all classes." He said it was likely that a central body was organizing the resistance. 3. He "knows the great ma jority of Poles are convinced" that the Polish victims of the: world war 2 Katyn massacre were "murdered by the Soviets" rather than the Germans.

4. He fled Poland beeaux of his "great ideological disappoint ments" with communism. S. He intends to devote the rest of his life "to help the west in its battle against the communists." Swiatlo said ihe communist leaders in his, -country are "devoted to the Soviet government and not to Poland." The foreign operations admin istration, obviously delighted to present a significant case ofj communist defection, introduced Swiatlo to 200 newsmen late in the afternoon. Swiatlo, wearing a conserva- tive blue suit, white Shirt and blue tie, answered questions freely through an interpreter, Jules A Nowothy, of the Library of Congress.

Much of the ques tioning was concentrated! on the case of the Fields; As if to punctuate the dramatic situation, the state department made public the text of notes sent to the Iron curtain countries of Poland and Hungary, demanding the release of the Fields. The notes said Swiatlo had filled in missing gaps In the cases of the Fields. The background is this: Noel Field, who worked for trie stale cepartment irorn ltfib, inns in May of 1349, subsequently dis-; appearing from sight. His Ger-; man-born wife, Ilerta, followed him, presumably to search for him; She; too, vanished. Three months later, Hermann, a Cleveland architect, went to Poland hunting for his brother.
