New Long Range Guided Missile Is Added To Army’s Arsenal; Other Changes Disclosed By ELTON C. Fay WASHINGTON (#—The Army is adding a new long range guided missile to its arsenal, increasing ba number of its combat-equipped and buying more tanks. Thi: stepped-up Army tempo was ort ina series of announce- ™ here yesterday—the day af- ter a conference in Colorado among President Eisenhower, Sec- retary of the Army Robert T. Ste- vens and Gen. Matthew B. Ridg- way, the Army’s chief of staff: 1. The Army has gone into what it calls “at least pilot line” or limited production of a new guided missile, called Redstone. The wea- pon is presumably capable, like others of its type, of carrying an atomie warhead. Details of Redstone’s capability are still kept secret, but there is speculation its range may be up to 500 miles—substantially more than the Army’s “Corporal” missile, al- 80 a surface-to-surface bombard- mént. The Army said it awarded to Chrysler Corp. last week an $855,- 000 contract as “‘the final touch needed to start limited production” of Redstone. This brings the total for the Redstone project so far to more than 22 million dollars. 2. In a move which will add io its organization! numbers, although | not to its total manpower, the Army announced a program to boost the number of divisions des- ignated as combat outfits to 25 in the next two years. This will be done by giving to five of the VICTORY 804 White St. present six training divisions desig- nations as combat divisions, equip- ping them with arms for battle- field fighting and organizing them along combat lines. But the manpower size of the divisions apparently will remain, at least for some time, at about the level of a training division— which is only between 10 and 15 per cent of the man-strength of a 17,500-man combat division. Aside from giving the Army the framework for a quick expansion of the five divisions into full fight- ing strength, the program also makes possible another program announced simultaneously—a new system of rotating forces stationed overseas. This will involve return home of whole units—divisions, regiments or battalions—replaced overseas by units of similar com- position. The current plan of rotat- ing individual soldiers while still keeping the units on station will be superseded. Each unit will serve 33 months overseas, stay 31 months at home. 3. A contract for $160,601,200 worth of M48 medium tanks was placed with Chrysler Corp. This actually is a renewal of an earlier orler for M48s, the initial allot- ment of which Chrysler completed a year ago. The new production, like the |previous, will be carried out at the government-owned, Chrysler- joperated tank factory at Newark, Del.
