Army Working
Despfte the show-me skepticism of many people, the
all-volunteer Army is working, reports Secretary of the
Army Howard H. Callaway.

10 fuUy-forined combat divisions. Today, it has ll such
di^sions, 10 of which are considered combat ready.
The Army’s ©n>wmd, it’s more disciplined, it’s a
better Army,’) says Callaway. u tim
:What this means is that for the first time since before
war, the U.S. is not relying on ^ohsqiption to fill the
Army’s ranks. For the first time in a generation, young
men can plan their futures without the threat of the
draft hanging over their heads. - y
Actually, the development is more momentofis. than
that. ■ :'?• - ' 7 ''' -', \ ■
For all of its History, until the onset of the Cold War* 3
the peacetime Army was a volunteer organization. But
the tiny, neglected, sometimes scorned and always \
cadre of professionals, expected to hold the line if war
came, while the nation slowly mobilized itself;
The U.S. will never again enjoy that kind of leisure in
the event of another major war. In this nuclear age, the
exchange of missiles would be over, and the outcome
probably decided, long before the country could whip
its civilian population into a fighting force.
The Army, along with the other services, must be
ready at all times — trained, competent and equipped

By WILLIAM A. RUSHER
The publication of "The End
of the Day,” the final volume
of Harold Macmillan’s me-
' moirs, affords an opportunity
to indulge in a bi t of historical
hindsight that haf intrigued
me for years. After all, man
cannof Jive by Watergate
alone.^-
Macmillan, who later be-
came prime minister in his
own right, was foriegn. minis-
ter inthe cabinet of Anthony
Eden in the autumn of 1956.
The neutralist Egyptian Pre-
i mier Gamal Abdel Nasser,
. miffedhy the unexpected refu-
sal of the U.S, and Britain to
help finance and build his As-
wan High Dam, had retaliated
by accepting Russian assist-
ance on the project. Then — as
a further means of pressure,
and to aid his designs against ments.
Israel — he had taken the
much mop serious step of
seizing the Suez Canal.
By 1956 the blood had run
pretty thin in the capillaries of
tile British Foreign-Office, but
Eden and Macmillan had the
gumption to deliver one last
flick of the British lion’s paw.
In concert with France and Is*
rael, a lightning military
thrust to recapture the Canal
was planned in deepest sec-
recy. On Oct. 29, 1956, the at-
tack was launched.
T
Britain, France and Israel the
sort of definitive pressures
that were available to the Uni-
tedStatesin themid-1950s, and
--tftfr Anglo-Frerjch-Israeli at*«. Y
tack ground to ifhalt. :'-
Nasser kept control :of the *
Canal. And Anthony Ed§n. -
his bravest project in ruins, his
health'■‘and spirit broken ***- .....t-
stepped down as prime minis- ' ^
ter, to spend the resfof his life c \
traveling back and forth be- ,A
tween England and Boston’s
Lahey clinic.
But what I have never seen
explained — and Macmillan’s
multi-volume autobiography,
I’m sorry to say, doesn’t ex-
plain it either — is why the at-
tempt to seize the Canal was
made at that particular mo-
ment. For it just happened to
be the worst of allpossible mo-
rity,” holding himself forth as
the ali-wise father figure who
had brought America the two
greatest boons within the gift
of stateananship; -
were two incinerations in the
McCord fireplace. The first
fire, indeed, caused smoke
damage after the damper
closed and the smoke tallowed
through the house.
CIA consultant Lee Penning-
ton attended the second
burning. He swears that Ruth
McCord burned only old maga-
zine articles, letters and clip-
«pings but not any Watergate-
related documents. Two fold-
er* with CIA material in them,
one merely retirement papers,
were intact when he saw them,
he told us.
But' two days earlier, we
have now learned, she
destreyed^Jahgle of old type-
writer ribbons in the fireplace.
These had been removed by
McCord, an ex-CIA agent,
from President Nixon’s cam-
paign headquarters.
An expert could determine
from the ribbons what had
been written on the typewrit-
ers. Because the ribbons fouled
the campaign committee’s
' famous shredders, McCord
had taken them home in paper
bags to destroy.
When he was arrested during
the Watergate break-in, his
„ loyal wife was worried oyer
what to do with the bag stuffed
with typewriter ribbons. She
decided to incinerate them in
the fireplace, rattier than leave

LIKE A GOOD agent,
reported the burning to
Teamsters politidfbut Hoffa
CIA. His secret report, which
he insists was badly garbled by
the time the CIA got it into
memo form, lay in CIA files for
18 months until it was turned
up by a ClA employe a few
weeks ago. The CIA then '
turned it over to Watergate
investigators.
They seem satisfied no
papers were burned in the sec-
ond fire that tied the CIA to the
Watergate break-in, as they,
had originally suspected. But
they wonder what evidence, if
any, was destroyed on the
typewriter ribbons.
Footnote: The CIA^refused
comment. Pennington spoke
candidly with us of his visit to
the McCord home. McCord’s
insists that it became uncondi-
tional after March 10,1973.

liams sought an appointment’

Showed up with a Hoffa ally, A1
Cohen. Earlier, Williams twice
cornered President Nixon and
talked to him about Hoffa at a
Christmas party. Sources with
direct knowledge of the inci-
dent tell us that, the second
time, the President told Wil-
liams with some irritation:
‘‘Larry, I got your message.”
Williams denied to us that he
spoke to Nixon about Hoffa but
confirmed he attended the
party. Williams also confirmed
that “a representative of the
Teamsters Union, A1 Cohen,
attorney, Bernard Fenster-
wald, confirmed that our ac- . asked me to set up a meeting”

Mystery Congressman:
Atty. Gen. William Saxbe titil-
lated reporters recently by
Jelling them about a mystery
.congressman who came to him
seeking clearance for Jimmy
Hoffa to engage in Teamster
Union politics.
We have now been able to
identify Hoffa’s mysterious
errand boy as Rep. Larry Wil-
liams, R-Pa. Our sources say
Williams not only approached
Saxbe but buttonholed Presi-
denf Nixon at a White House
Christmas party.____
A spokesman for the attor-
ney general told us that Saxbe
was unaware that the
congressman was bringing
Cohen along.

WASHINGTON - (NEA) -
When the Internal Revenue
; Service ’began a campaign
recently to tabulate the tips
of waiters and waitresses in
Cleveland, the resulting out- .
cry was loud and ominous.
The IRS branch office was
deluged with complaints that
were remarkably uniform in
content. "Why are you hound-
ing us," the attendants asked,
“when Nixon gets away scot
free?"
There are fears on high i'n

And this Rightist move-

conventions, but publications
as well; Ken Kalcheim, a
New Yorker, publishes a
Liberterian newsletter
called “Ripoff Resistance” in
which he urges Americans to
send Washington a message,

And if the right-wing is
doing it for one reason, the

Indeed, if millions of people
