AMERICAN ARMY DEVELOPING
NEW
TANKS
Washington, Aug. 23.
A spokesman said on Wednesday that the Army is developing a "family" of new light, medium and heavy tanks which, he claimed, will be the best in the world.
The spokesman would not say when any of the new tanks would be ready for combat. But he in- dicated it would be many months for the light and medium tanks, and possibly more than two years for the heavy tanks.
There appeared to be little chance that any would be rendy in time to be used in Korea if the Babting there ends within year as Defence officials now expect.
Firepower will be emphnafred in all weights of the new tanks Instead of mobility, na in the World War II American tanks. Mobility will be of secondary importance in the lights Bad mediums. Armour protection
