Sizes Up Free World's Defenses ForfEurope '

EDITOR’S NOTE: This te the fifth in a serie* "by the United Pres* military expert. It deals with U.S. Army forces in Europe. By CHARLES CORDDRY United Press Staff Correspondent HEIDELBERG, Germany (UP) -One-fourth of the entire U.S. Army is deployed In Europe to-day-ready to meet any Communist ground attack with devestating firepower. Gen. H. I. Hodes, top Army man on the continent, says a Russian assault can be stopped by his formidable force with the help of present and planned Allied divisions. The aim—if the struggle to prevent war fails—is to hold,firm at or near the Iron Curtain to give air power time to retaliate before Red land forces could overrun Western Germany. “That is the one thing we’re going to make every effort to do," Hodes says. The commander makes no attempt to conceal the gravity of his problem. If war comes, he tolls inquirers at his headquarters here, "we would be subjected to missile attack"—and there is “no reason” to doubt the Reds could use atomic weapons. Hodes said the Russians "do not lag” in developing tactical type weapons for battlefield use. But unit-for-unit and weapon-for-weapons, the Americans can meet the Russians on at least equal terms, even if they are numerically inferior. Surprise Attack Unlikely It now is highly unlikely, Hodes believes, that the Reds could spring a surprise ground attack. He feels they wotld have to mobilize in such strength as to alert the Allied forces on the Central European front. With warning, the general says, his forces could withstand a nuclear attack and strike back promptly. He keeps the command ready to go into action "in a (natter of hours.” Frequent alerts require combat units to disperse within two hours for defense against simulated nuclear blows. It is giving away no secret to report that U.S. ground forces in Western Germany hav* the rocket launchers and artillery pieces to hurl 57 atomic warheads at one time—if that should be necessary. And each one could be at least as powerful as the World War I Hiroshima bomb. -■ .Massed Missile Barrage That power is embodied in three Honest John rockets, five Corporal guided missiles and five atomic cannon battalions. Such is the barrage a Red army. massed in attack, could expect; to say nothing of the power in Air Force jet planes and Matador missiles in West Germany. And there are several more atom-ic-missile battalions in the Army's Southern European task force based near Verona, Italy. Hodes' forces total about 250,000 men. They are stationed from England to the East German and Czechoslovakian borders and in Berlin. He says 75 per cent are in. combat or combat - support units. The principal fighting element

of Hodes’ command is Lt. Glen. Bruce C. Clarke’s U.S. tth Army. It comprises about half of total Army manpower in Europe and is regarded as the finest field army the country has maintained in peacetime. It cost 1 billion dollars to set up the 7th, Clarke 'says, and it takes »1,200,000,000, a year to keep it going, i "Our job is to be constantly combat ready.” Clarke says, ‘‘and we are—ready to play our part in cold war, warm war .or hot war. Our soldiers feel the sense of urgency. They understand why they’re here.” / Holds 250-Mile Ftont Clarke has the immense responsibility of holding about 250 miles of the 450-milc Central European front. He does it with two infantry, one airborne and two armored divisions, screened by three cavalry regiments which constantly patrol the Iron Curtain by air and tank. His security and that of other West Europe forces will be enhanced further this year by introduction of Nike anti-aircraft missiles to American and Allied units. On the northern flank of the 7th Army ist he British Army of the Rhine — 77.000 men and four divisions strong at the moment, but scheduled for a 13,000 - man cut. Opposite the British. American and small additional European ground elements — including new German forces — are 22 Russian divisions in East German and Czechoslovakian divisions. The Russians, with a supporting air army, are estimated to number 425,000 and to be wellequipped with modem weapons, tanks and motor transport. • Tomorrow — The place of the American Gl in Europe) Monmouth FFA Will Meet Friday Night Monmouth’s chapter of the Future Farmers of America will meet Friday at 8 p.m. in the ag room of Monmouth school, ag instructor Fred Meier announced today,' , , „ . . .
