f Army Chief

Good For Army, He Says

By JAFK BRAYLEY Canadian Press staff Writer

CAMP GAGETOWN. N.B. tCP) Lt -Gen. G. G. Simonds told the men of Canada's 1st Division Tues- day that his retirement as chief of the general staff is right and ne- :es52lry and a good thing for pro- motion in the army.

Speaking at an impressive divi- sional review of 14,000 troops, the man who commanded the 1st Di- vision of the Second World War luring the invasions of Sicily and ltaly in 1943, said his retirement at 52 was "a severe wrench" but rt-ttrt-mant at the top made way lor those coming up through the tanks

lie had served his full period in il't'it-e and if the important policy 7f providing regular promotion was to he carried out his retirement was necessary.

As a junior officer before the oar he had remembered his own lrustration when senior officers zeemed to "play musical chairs" succeeding themselves in the sen- lor Jobs, with little or not promo- tlon in sight for younger men. That. was why be subscribed so fully to the present policy.

Con. Simonds, in his first public ctatement since announcement June 8 of his retirement. said he was sure his successor, Mal.-Gen. Howard D. Graham, 50. who will become chief of the general staff Aug. 31, will get the same loyal and able support he had always had from the army.

The retiring chief. who earlier in he day warned Canada to keep its powder dry even with all the talk it pt-ace, took his farewell salute to l':tttada's biggest military review of is kind.

About 14,000 men of Maj:-Gen. .l. lt. Rockingham's 1st Division marched past after "Rocky" told them the formation was largely Gcn. Slmonds' own creation. And the army chief gave an especially close scrutiny of the three straight- backed battalions of the newsl- monds-" ' i Canadian Guards

lntegiments-with their scarlet ber- E H.

WARNS OF REDUCTIONS

Gen. Simonds began the day with a press conference at a Fred- ericton hotel where he gave his warning about reducing strength in the face of peace overtures and where be outlined some new de-

velopments in warfare that would 0'

he tried experimentally in the 430 square miles of southern' New Brunswick which make up Camp Gagetown.

He said peaceful signs emanat- ing from Moscow and Geneva could create a "dangerous situa- tion." The Geneva conference had been made possible because of strength and cohesion of the West urn powers. "And now isn't the time to abandon our policy of mill- ttttzv strength just when it's begin- lllutz to bear fruit."

And he took a look ahead as new military weapons. methods and concepts that would be tried out at Gagetown during the next few years. The new weapons would in- clude the use of the Belgian FN rifle and a light machine gun. He also foresaw air supply right to the front lines by new planes with short take-off ability and helicop- lI'l'S, all taking the place of lorry columns with their tell-trail pf dust.

A IR TRUCKS

Vile called the new air supply In- cilities "air trucks" and he said they would be able to otttmanoett- vro (aster-attacking jets However, he thought an enemy woulrl de-

velop some sort oi an attack plane to he launched against the "air- trucks" and these in turn could be handled by a development of anti- aircraft fire power.

Airborne troops in the future would use new developments in aviation and there would be a con- sequent decrease in the use of paratroops. Gagetown would also teach the army to adopt itself to atomic war, but at the same time to continue to improve its effective- ness in its traditional role of seiz- lng, holding and administering ter- ritory-or, as he called it, "real estate."

He saw no increasing import- ance for tanks and armor because they required bridgeheads that had to be established by the infantry.

PRECEDENT SET

On a question about the Cana- dian Guards taking precedence over other and old infantry units, Gen. Simonds said people who were noisy on this score had not bothered to study military tradi- tion. A precedent for this situation was in the British artny where the guards were junior in history to many other regiments.

Meanwhile at the Blissville alr- strip on the western perimeter of the camp, the convoys had been moving in from distances up to 30 and 40 miles. About 4,000 civilians watched the impressive turnout.

The troops were drawn up in companies for about a mile along the main runway.

INIIERIT TRADITION

Gen. Simonds reminded the men they inherited the tradition of the Red Patch in the last two wars and whether this tradition con- tinued to be an inspiration for them depended on how each man deported himself.

Boarding his jeep again he moved to a reviewing stand far down the runway. As soon as he stepped into position the band struck up an artillery march in his honor as a former gunner and the first troops in the long column be- gan moving past 12 deep.

All the infantry carried rifles and bayonets. at the slope for pos- sibly the last time in such a big parade because of the adoption of the new FN rifla which will be carried in a more upright posi- tion.
