FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1965 FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1965 HR USHCHEV CONFERENCE: Stevenson Chides UNI DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN ORGANIZATION Military Myth Explored By JOHN MEREDITH EDITOR'S NOTE: Seven experts on the Soviet Union participated in the University's "Conference on the Khrushchev Era and After" last weekend. The following is the third article in a five-part series report- ing the last five speeches of the conference. The first two were cov- ered in Friday's Daily. "The fall of Khrushchev was signalled by a temporary meeting of the minds between the military and other important segments of the Soviet power echelon," Prof. John Erickson of the University of Manchester asserted at last weekend's "Conference on the Khrushchev Era and After." From the military point of view, Khrushchev was putting the USSR in a straight jacket and the lead- ership felt compelled to act, he said. Three Periods Erickson divided the Khrush-' chev era into three military per- iods. The tone of the first period -1953-'56-was set by the post- Stalin power struggle during which Khrushchev abegan attempts to build his image as a military' hero and strategist. It was marked by the beginning of a military de- bate between traditionalists and radicals, Erickson said, with the radicals, like Khrushchev, em- phasizing the need to exploit re- cent technological advances in armaments. In 1957, he noted, the second phase of Khrushchev's associa- tion with the military was ushered in, as the premier emerged as the leader of the now dominant radicals and further built up his personal military image by en- hancing his wartime experiences at Stalingrad. Basing their program on the assumption that the West can be deterred, Soviet leaders became increasingly dependent on nuclear power at the expense of conven- tional forces. While the shift to- ward modern weapons was inevit- able, Erickson pointed out that the Russian program demonstrated overconfidence and simplisme on the part of its masterminds. At this point, he said, the military leaders kept silent; Khrushchev had "pre-empted" them. Tide Turns In 1961, however, the tide be- gan to turn,rand the third period of the Khrushchev era began. Erickson pointed to a June mili- tary show as clear evidence that Khrushchev was staking his pres- NOW 4EM DIAL 8-6416 tige on modern technology as the core of Russian military strategy -a position of invaluable aid to the radicals but potentially dan- gerous to the premier. Yet, Erickson said, there was evidence that even Khrushchev's military backers were beginning to see a danger in overemphasing modern means of warfare and in the dominance of Khrushchev's own thinking in military deci- sions. The Cuban crisis, as a glaring failure of the premier's strategy, gave impetus to these trends. It precipitated a debate on the use of military weapons, Erickson commented, and Khrushchevad- mitted that some revisions were in order. However, he said, Khrushchev had returned to a more rigid po- sition by May 1963, and in De- cember he announced a further reduction in conventional forces. It then became obvious that the radicals were alienated from rKhushchev, as they joined the traditionalists in attacks on the premier. In September Khrushchev "emasculated the ground forces, reducing the ground forces com- mand to the level of a training command"-the move which im- mediately preceded the premier's removal. The military leaders apparently feared, Erickson said, that Khrushchev was committing Rus- sia to an inflexible and dangerous dependence on modern warfare techniques. Responsibility Limited "In a sense," he explained, Khrushchev's responsibility was, limited. The shift toward nu- clear power, the escalation of weapons and the revision in mili- tary policy were not entirely his work." Erickson noted, however, that Khrushchev's tactlessness, his strategic planning in 1964 and the background of the Cuban failure all combined to make military leaders apprehensive that Russia might find herself trapped by her unbalanced military machine. Khrushchev's fall has not set- tled the debate over military strategy, Erickson said, but the military leaders have once again receded from the forefront of the political scene: The fall of Khrushchev did not mark the sudden emergence of military dominance. "Soviet military officials arej still preoccupied with purely mili- tary matters," he pointed out. '"However, the increased import- ance of technology has enhanced their power, and the younger gen- eration in the military command is more politically oriented than the old guard." Council on OAS Role UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (U)-Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson chided the UN Security Council yesterday for what he said was a childish effort to downgrade the role of the Organization of American States in the Dominican crisis. In a biting speech to the council the United States chief delegate said such action "seems to me to be positively embarrassing," and could be compared with that of a 'petulant actress, jealous of her supporting cast." Stevenson drew immediate fire from Soviet Ambassador Nikolai T. Fedorenko, who said Stevenson was playing the role of "a second rate actor." As for defense of the OAS, Fedorenko said this reminded him of a statement by former New York Gov. Alfred E. Smith that "however thinly you slice the ba- loney, baloney remains baloney."

"Isn't this a little childish?" he asked. "Surely this great world organization is not threatened by a regional organization, in this case the OAS . . . and surely this organization is not so insecure and so sensitive that it dare not even recognize its own subordinate organization." Stevenson added that "such behavior by 11 grown men repre- senting the world seems to me to be positively embarrassing . . . Such tactics as we have witnessed here will not contribute to ad- vancing the cause of peace, or to solving the problems immediate- ly facing the Dominican people."
