FOUR THE BRIDGEPORT POST, MONDAY, A A 6. 1958. GENERAL FIRM ON DECISION TO BOW OUT (Continued from Page One) Gavin's testimony had anything to do with his decision to But Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex) said yesterday the subcommittee which heads is "not going to tolerate any administration rubber hose tactics or any effort to put committee witnesses in a strait jacket." Kefauver Critical And Kefauver, a member of the subcommittee, added today: "Gen.

Gavin should not be penalized for giving the Senate Preparedness subcommittee his best judgment on the military situation. "He pointed to a reorganization of the military establishment which would a away some of the power of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and lodge It in one single commander." Kefauver said Govin's testimony pointed up a need for overhauling the present military setup. "There are two fundamental things that must be corrected." Kefauver said. "The first thing is that the is now no system in the PenU gon of getting any decisioi made. The second thing is that those who eventually make a decision should not be special pleaders for any particular cause." Gavin Itylght Reconsider Gavin, a decorated veteran of paratroop combat in World War II, indicated he might reconsider his retirement decision under certain circumstances.

"That's up. to Secretary Bracker," Gavin said, adding that he had set certain conditions for remaining at his post. The general declined to.specify what actions he wanted taken. Gavin reportedly has felt the Army could have developed an intercontinental ballistic missile before now, if it had been permitted to do so. The ICBM, with a planned range of 5,000 miles, is under Air Force jurisdiction.

The Army's research chief, also was said to believe the Army could have put a satellite into orbit with its Jupitcr-C rocket. The Army only recently was ordered to prepare to launch a satellite with the Jupiter-C. This came after failure of the first test launching effort by the Navy- directed Vanguard satellite project. Bruckcr Backs General Brucker said he had "tried to dissuade" Gavin from retiring. The Army secretary pledged 100 Missile Chief to Retire Lt.

Other expressions of distress at Gavin's decision cams from Senators Symington (D-Mb) and Mprse (D-Ore), and from Rep. Mahon (D-Tcxj, chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee that handles defense funds. The White House had no immediate comment on Gavin's action. Press Secretary James C.
