Atomic artillery shells and guided warheads developed
Washington reports that the United States has developed atomic artillery shells and atomic warheads for guided missiles. Defense Secretary Johnson told President Truman on March 31 about new atomic missiles with tactical and strategic potential. Atlantic Pact planners fear Western Europe’s vulnerability without strong Allied forces, while new weapons could deter or blunt a Soviet advance. General Collins noted a weapon mounted on a light or medium tank could knock out tracked vehicles, and a new light tank is entering production though heavy tanks await further validation.

Secretary Acheson warns on Western arms aid rise
Secretary of State Acheson told Senate committees that the United States may need to increase foreign arms aid in coming years as the western world lacks an adequate security force against communist aggression. He urged approval of a 592.5 million dollar arms aid program for the fiscal year starting July 2, partly to bolster North Atlantic defenses. He warned that reductions are unlikely and that future aid to Western Europe may grow, even as President Truman says the world is nearer peace than in five years.
