80. CINCINNATI, THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1958. PHONE PA 1-1111 Ike Fights for Plan To Shake Up Defense Those Who Cling to Ties To One Service May Destroy U. He Warns WASHINGTON, April hower asserted today that to outmoded military help to "destroy America." In a fighting bid for support of his defense reorganization plan, the President proclaimed "the waging of war by separate ground, sea, and air forces is gone forever." TO CRITICS who have said his plan would set up a "Prussian" staff system, create a military "czar," and destroy the identity of the three services, the President retorted with Nonsense" Not so" Farfetched." "Apprehensions such As these," the President said, "are at the least misconceptions. At the most they are misrepresentations." The President asserted in an address to the American Society of Newspaper Editors and the International Press Institute that modern methods of war and modern arms demand "unity in strategic planning, unity in military command, unity of our fighting forces in combat commands." SHORTLY BEFORE the President spoke, Rep.

Carl Vinson one of the most powerful opponents of his plan on Capitol Hill, promised that the issue will be "completely aired." The House Armed Services Committee, which Vinson heads, voted unanimously to start public hearings on the plan next Tuesday. Vinson made it clear the hearings would be prolonged. The President said that "whatever the cost, we must keep America secure." He said Communism still seeks to "master the world." But in the process of saving the free world "we must not, by our own hand, destroy America," the President said. This could be done by "useless overspending." AND "one sure way to overspend," he said, "is by overindulging sentimental attachments to outmoded military machines and concepts." He called for "safety with solvency" and said the yardstick for achieving this is "unity." He said modern weapons like the ballistic missile and new concepts like "a reconnaissance satellite orbiting in space" have "scrambled traditional service functions." "I am quite sure," he said, "that the American people feel it is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger."

MOSCOW, April 17 Soviet Union and the United States met across the diplomatic conference table today apparently to discuss a start toward summit talks this summer. Whether the session meant summit preparations actually got under way today remained a secret.

WITH ONLY 40 minutes notice, U. S. Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson was summoned to meet Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. They talked for 35 minutes at Gromyko's office. Because the session followed SO closely on yesterday's western agreement to begin ambassadorial summit talks today, observers assumed this was the subject of the discussion.

But when Thompson emerged from the meeting he refused to disclose what had happened. He was smiling and answered only "no comment" to newsmen. Thompson's first duty was to report back to Washington then fill in his British and French colleagues here. THE AMERICAN, British and French ambassadors had been standing by for a summons to the Kremlin. But only Thompson got the call.

If all goes well at a meeting of the ambassadors there will be a meeting later of the Big Four foreign ministers and then a meeting of Khrushchev, President Eisenhower, British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and the new French premier.

Indonesian central government forces invaded West Sumatra today in an air-sea operation. The Jakarta government reported tonight that paratroopers captured Padang Air Field early in the fighting. The air-sea operations were co-ordinated with concerted drives by government forces driving on the rebel strongholds of Padang and Bukittinggi from the interior of central Sumatra. It appeared to be the beginning of the end of the rebellion launched two months ago in an attempt to force President Sukarno to rid his government of Communists. THE ATTACK began al dawn.

A Jakarta government announcement said 20 ships took part in the beach invasion. The radio at Medan, capital of north Sumatra, said the commandos waded ashore a half mile north of Padang. Medan radio said paratroopers dropped on the air field, six miles north of Padang, simultaneously with the sea attack. The radio said the commandos met heavy resistance at the shore but managed to establish a beachhead and this was reinforced quickly with infantrymen. The air force covered the landing with bombing and strafing attacks on rebel strongholds in the mountains, the radio said.

IT SAID the commandos, infantrymen and paratroopers were driving toward Padang itself. It said the fighting was "heavy." In Jakarta, Premier Djuanda said the attack was successful and met only "insignificant" resistance.
