Wilson Warns Aggressors Under New Look Policy
Washington, UP, Defense Secretary Wilson outlined the administration's new look defense plan to deter both major war and local aggression. He stressed that stronger air units and continental air defense make quick victories unlikely for aggressors. The semi annual report, with Army Navy and Air Force statements, was sent to the President for Congress review. Wilson praised rising strength at reduced cost but pledged reserve force improvements, noting trained reserves must be ready immediately, not nine to twelve months later. Air Secretary Talbott emphasized airpower’s key role in national defense. Some Congress critics say the new emphasis on air atomic power may lack flexibility for brush fire wars, but policy aims to handle both large and small conflicts.
