SECURITY SLIP IS MADE IN PUBLISHING US. ARMY S Information On Seven Military Measures Is -Made Public By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON (#—Somebody's security slip was showing today with publication of recent testi- mony about military secrets by Army officials before a House appropriations committee. Military secrets which popped into the open included information about: 1, An entirely new weapons- carrying vehicle, nicknamed “The Thing” but carrying the official designation ‘‘Ontos,” to be used variously, including as a mount for a new “very high-powered” recoilless rifle and for a quad- tuple .50-caliber anti-aircraft weap- on against lowflying planes. 2. A plan to provide “much longer range” for the 280-milli- meter cannon, which now has a 20-mile accurate range and fires either atomic or conventional shells, and a new shell, slightly smaller than the caliber of this giant cannon, expected to extend its range ‘“‘by about 50 per cent.” 3, “Extra light tanks,” two of which are under test, of a type expected eventuaily to replace the 28-ton Walker Bulldog tank. 4. A lightweight radar for battle- front use, apparently to help detect enemy attempts at infiltration of the front line, a technique much used by the Communists in the Korean War. 5. A long-range radar IFF (iden- tification, friend or foe), which could mean the identification of aircraft long before they are within range of anti-aircraft guns or guided missiles. 6. A folding, portabie bridge, to be carried on top of a tank as a shelter for the crew while being put in place under enemy fire. 7. A steam outboard motor for small boats, to be used for quiet crossing of rivers when the noise of gasoline outboard motors would warn the enemy. Army officials expressed amaze- ment and appeared appalled when copies of the 1,667-page printed testimony released by the subcom- mittee reached the Pentagon. Among the pages was informa- tion on new weapons still stamped secret by the Pentagon. It was not immediately clear how the mater- ial had come to be left in that portion of testimony seat for pub- lic printing. Security cropped up on some odd subjects. There were “off the record” notations for discussions on such topics as the number of cigarettes for prisoners of war in Korea, a publicity release to bus- inessmen on why they should sup- port the National Guard, and feed for the courier pigeons of the Sig- nal Corps. The Army plugged hard for its etomic cannon during the testi- mony. Maj. Gen. Kenneth D. Nichols, chief of Army research and devel- opment, emphasized need for Army atomic capabilities on the battle- field, with both the gun and guided missiles armed with atomic war- heads. He asserted: “AN the studies which we have made indicate that whether we can or cannot defend Europe with the amount of manpower and number of divisions which we are able to support, may depend on whether we can achieve this atomic capa- bility.” : Gen. J. Lawton Collins, Army chief of staff, for his part, replied to some criticism of the gun, in- cluding questions about its mobil- ity because of weight. He said, among other things, that it isn’t true a special bridge would be. needed for river crossings, that the 280-millimeter can “cross any bridge that a medium tank can cross. The gun, together with the two pv tractors that haul it, weighs Army witnesses said the over-all Army cost for the March 17 to May 25 atomic test in Nevada was get at $2,857,000, For the atomic eannon test, the cost (less that of the shell) totaled $165,200, Wright Reports For Two-Week Training Duty Commander Austin R.
