European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - August 26, 1978, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 18 the stars and stripes pcs chairman sees change saturday August 25, 1978 new Breed of leadership Washington is in his second floor Pentagon office Gen. David c. Jones sits on a sofa and gazes for a moment at a painting of a Little boy staring into an air Force recruiting suppose there s been a change in the Type of military leadership we have now he says quietly. We Don t quite have As Many color Ful characters As we had and i mean that Ina respectful sense. The patterns the Lemars. It has changed. Perhaps there is a new Breed in our military the new chairman of the joint chiefs of staff the 87-year-old air Force general con cedes with a smile that he is probably closer to the new Breed of military managers an planners than to combat warriors represented by such famed generals As the late George Patton and Curtis Jones whose appointment stirred some controversy within Pentagon and military Cir cles makes it plan that the complexity of modern technology demands military officers who Are skilled technicians and organizers and not solely combat veterans. Moreover reviews the criticisms against him As unfair and essentially a smoke screen for those who want to blur civilian control Over the , saying that Jones was easily pliant to civilian superiors As air Force chief of staff and has climbed to the top because of his willingness to go along cite his support for president Carter s decision to end production of the by bomber As Well As Jones s enthusiastic advocacy of the Panama canal treaties. Look we worked on the by for years he said. We fought hard on it. We advocated it. We fought it right up until the president made the decision. And once we made the decision i got together with some of the leadership of the air Force and we decided not to fight it we decided that the proper role of the military within our form of government is to respond to civilian control. I was asked by some to override the presi Dent to end run him and try to get Congress to appropriate and direct that the Money be spent he said. I refused to become involved. I Don t do that. I believe the proper role of the military is to state their Case and when a decision is made to implement that decision he said with a touch of anger i see absolutely no inhibition about expressing my views. I see the need to speak out in the councils of government. I be had differences with the president and Brzezinski and Vance and Brown. But the idea is to faithfully carry out a policy once the decision is made. That s the Way i four Star general who served in com Bat during the korean and Vietnam wan said that his key goal As chairman of the joint chiefs 4s to accelerate the state of readiness for . Troops through elaborate combat a Nevers better training and equipment modernization especially in this and beyond the ongoing Mili tary Competition with the soviet Union Jones says that the fundamental Long term problem of diminishing natural resources leaves him worried and perhaps even perplexed because of its National Security imply the toughest Issue in the Long term is the growing appetite and diminishing resources on this planet he said. I m talk ing about the year 2000. There May even be shortages before that. Petroleum is one area of concern. But there Are others. The . Out consumes everyone by Many factors he said. There s a finite limit. I would expect that by the 21st Century it will have a considerable Impact not just on National Security but on our Way of life. This is the major problem regardless of our relation ship with the soviet Jones who became the nation s senior Mili tary officer on july 1. Supports the strategic arms limitation negotiations now under Way rejecting what he Calls the temptation to oppose you reflect on it he said there is no area that is More important really than efforts to Deal with strategic offensive weapons with millions of tons of destructive Power. I resist the temptation to suspend talks but i also say we ought to hang Tough Jones said that he had few plans at the moment to substantially overhaul the personnel and Structure of the joint chiefs of staff. But he added somewhat vaguely that he wanted to increase the role and leverage of the Mili tary in the government. I m not talking about Dave Jones Here he said. I m talking about the military itself i want to increase its role. Over the years Over a period of time we be had a great diffusion of responsibility Jones said. We be had rules and regulations and the buildup of a bureaucracy. We be got to get an awful lot of Yesnes now to get things done and if we get one or two nos we can t do anything. Things grind slowly. How do you change it i think there s a lot we can do to address this Issue he said. It s a Tough Issue very Gen. David Jones receives congratulations from president Carter.
