★ WASHINGTON COLUMN *
McElroy Seems Ideal to Fill
Defense Boss Wilson's Shoes
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN *
NEA Sun Correspondent
f!7ASHINGTON—(NEA)—Neil McElroy, tne 52-year-old presi-
d«ni ul the Procter & Gamble soap company, looks like an
ideal man to nil the shoes of Charley Wilson.
McElroy is full of energy and an indU£'.rialist o! proven ability.
He set up the various soap divisions of P&G so that they would
be in direct, heated competition with one another. The result:
the corporation's business zoomed.
As chairman of the White House Conference on Education he
demonstrated that he had that special personality touch and sixth
sense fur sniffing out political booby-traps. These are essential
attributes tor a successful toy Washington official. This education
cunleieuce hail dangerous, explosive political and personal possi-
bilities for McElroy.
At least half the delegates to the meftivg canpe armed with some
kind of tiaipoon to hurl at him or the President. But by being
honest, direct and businesslike he ended up with a pat on the Dack
from everyone there, and with some work accomplished Tne iatier
is rare anil not really expected from feddcation conferences.
IT'S GOOD THAT McElroy has this nice collection of talents
because there is no such thing as a boss of the Pentagon having too
many talents. In tact, before Charley Wilson came along it was
believed by many serious students of government that this defense
post was too big for one man.
Charley proved that one man could run the three services and
survive leasonably well. But it was often a harrowing experience.
To say Mat Mc&lroy is moving into a hornet's nest u to minimize
the hazards of his tutuie employment. Recent teports induate mat
the U.S. is more ahead of the Russians in the development of new
weapons than most people have assumed. But that s wnei* any
optinusin about his woiktng conditions ceases.
Fust oft, McElroy is bound to be subjected to a rough session by
the Senate before it confluns his appointment.
Because soap has been his product he won't be as vulnerable as
Wilson Was General Motors was the biggest deici.se contractor
when Wilson left the presidency ot that nun to move to tr.e Penta-
gon but McEltoy's personal holding and business inteiests vvili
get a microscopic inspection.
' NO MATTER HOW TOUGH this preliminary bout is, it'll seem
like tun compared to what will face him when he filially takes office
in the Pentagon.
At his last pi ess conference Wilson revealed that the Defense
Department was about half way through cutting next year's pro-
gram by about 2l* billion dollars to meet budget slashes made by
Congiess This means McElroy s h;st job will be the demanding,
agonuing task ot tutting back programs.
Innerent in this killer of a problem is the big inter-service feud,
which even Wilson never quite settled.
THE ARMY BELIEVES that its future existence is threatened
unless it gets missiles with more than a 200-mile range It will
leap on McElroy to get him to change Wilson's order limiting it to
the 200-mile missile. This leap will be something to behold, too.
Ttie need to cut progiams is all tangled up in this missile rignt.
Arid the Air Force and Navy will be just as adamant as tne Army
that its programs can't be curtailed by one red cent.
If McElroy gets by this one with his sanity intact it's possible
he'll be ready for such headaches as adjusting the defense program
to constantly rising costs and continuing pressure from Congress
for reduced expenditures.
