Ridgeway's Shock
Was Approval At
Time Of Action
WASIIIXCTON An au
' thoritative defense source said
Wetlnesday that lien Matthew B.
liidgway originally approved th«'
Fiwnhower administitition "new
look" military program which he
' now criticizes.
Kidgway said Monday he was
shocked when President Kisenhow
• ■r told Congregs in his U*.r>4 Slate
' of the I'nion message that the new
ii ilitar> program was "unanimous-
i ly recommended" by the Joint
' l 'hiefs of Staff.
In a Saturday Kvening Post ar- j
tide that has provoked U\«> con-
gressional inquiries, the former
Array chief said he "most emphat-
ically" did not concur in the plan
"as it v as ,iresente«; to the people."
The defense gonr.'e reported that
Ridgway origi'.ally joined other
new service chiefs in devising and
appto\ing the plan in the summer
of hut "changed his mind"
by the time it was submitted to
Contrress in the budget in early
l!ia4.
The military leaders put their
plan in writing, and Mr. Kisenhuw -
er approved it as presented by De-
fense Secretary Charles E. Wilson
and Ailm. Arthur W. Radford,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the
defense authority said.
The plan curtailed ground forces
and built up air-atomic power.
Kidgway began to have misgiv-
ings in the fall of 1953 after con-
sulting his Army staff and com-
manders, the source said, and from
the time the "new look" went to
Coiq; i ess he fought A nny slashes
both in committees and at the Pen-
tagon. He retired last June :{« .
