Russia Cuts Army Strength Tests U S Free World Leadership
Article by John M. Hightower analyzes Moscow's announced 25 percent cut in military manpower and its impact on U S leadership. It discusses Western defense implications, pressure on Eisenhower, neutrals' views, and shifts in strategy toward German reunification, with Dulles, Wilson, Burgess, and other officials weighing the move. The piece notes estimates of Soviet forces around four to five million and argues reductions may be used to strengthen industry and weapons while keeping atomic weapons under Moscow's control.
