Dangerous Portisunship

There Is no reason to take Seri-
ously the assertion by Representative
Fish that the legislation to extend
Army service is part of gigantic
conspiracy" to involve the Nation in
foreign wars. Such a statement is
patiently absurd, and no doubt it will
be treated as an abSurdity, but there
IS reason for very genuine concern
over the partisan character of the
approach to this issue in the House.
The Republicans in the House
evidently are prepared to oppose any
extension of service for the selectees,
although they seem to favor an ex-
tension for National GuardSmen and
ReserviStS. They contend that the
Nation is more secure than 1t was
year ago. and that if danger arises
the President has authority to recall
selectees discharged after one year
of service.
These contentious are not real
istic. They take no account of the
fact that the SelecteeS will not be
adequately trained after one year.
They do not harmonic with the i'm
piled recognition of danger in sub
stantial Republican votes for huge
defense appropriations. They are
in open conflict with General George
C. Marshall's statement that en-
forcement of the oneyear provision
would wreck" the Army And they
seem all too obviously to be an at
tempt to pass the buck" to the
President.
Nevertheless, on the basis of a
careful poll of the members, it is re-
ported that not more than ten or
fifteen of the 170-odd Republicans
in the House can be expected to sup
port any extension of service for
selectees.
This estimate, if correct, is sug-
gestive of an exceedingly dangerous
form of partisanship. The legisla-
tion is not political in character, and
1t should not be approached from a
partisan standpoint. To do so would
be to engage in an exceedingly haz-
ardous gamble with the national
security.
Equally unwise is the position
which has been taken by Chairman
May of the House Military Affairs
Committee. Mr.. May says he will
insist on his committees bill, which
calls for an unlimited extension of
service, despite the fact that the
Senate has passed and administra-
tion leaders in the House are sup
porting a modiicatio which calls
for an eighteen-month extension.
This compromise, providing as it
does for further extension should
need arise, seems to be adequate to
insure the maintenance of the Army
as an effective military organization.
And it is believed to be acceptable
to the Army high command, charged
with the duty of perfecting our de-
fenSes.
In the light of these facts, it is evi-
dent that the national welfare
requires that both Chairman May
and the minority members of the
House abandon their extreme posi-
tions and come to prompt agree
ment on the Senate-approved COM

gator who labored in hiding has
ceased to be envied. 1t is more prac-
ticable to work in association with
colleagues inspired by the co-opera-
tive tradition Of Pasteur and Edison.
The efficiency of each participant in
a laboratory enterprise is enhanced
by his association with his fellows.
Results, it follows, are obtained with
less waste of time.
And it is this latter factor that is
OF supreme Importance in the current
crisis. If the United States is to pro-
tect the historic liberties to which
it is pledged, unlimited speed in the
achievement of its purpose is de-
manded. Perhaps some unknown
Fulton or Morse or Whitney, McCor-
mick or Steinmetz already has
guessed an answer to the challenge
of the dictators. 1t is conceivable
that science may possess the solvent
OF war itself-the medicine for the
correction of "the vast disease" of
armed strife among nations.
DR.. Bush has announced that he
desires the help of chemists, bacteri-
ologistS, physicists, mathematicians
practitioners of medicine and sur
gerry, zoologists-and all others who
feel that they have an intellectual
contribution to make to the cause of
freedom and progress. No interfer-
ence with existing institutions is to
be attempted. The Government has
authorized the campaign, and the
whole people certainly will support
it with enthusiasm.

Purqinq q Union

The rank -and-file delegates to the
United Automobile Workers conven-
ton at Buffalo seemingly are pre-
pared to override their national
officers if necessary to deal effectively
with Communist elements in the
union.
At the outset, the convention re-
fused to seat slate of delegates
headed by Harold Christoffel from
the Allis- Chalmers local in Milwau-
kee. That local, allegedly under
Communist domination, staged
costly defense strike several months
ago, but the refusal to seat the dele
gates was based on the unconstitu-
tional character of their election.
On Friday the rank and file of the
auto workers went after bigger
game BY a decisive vote, the dele
gates, under the leadership of Walter
and Victor Reuther, voted down
committee report which, in effect,
would have permitted Lew Michener
to resume his post as West Coast
regional director Mr.. Michener was
suspended after taking leading
part in the North American Avia-
ton strike, which also was alleged
to have been Communist inspired.
The union leadership, including R.
J. Thomas, international president,
and Richard Frankensteen, aviation
director, who suspended Mr.. Mich
ener in the first instance, worked out
a plan, embodied in the committee,
report, which would have brought
about his reinstatement with past
mistakes" forgiven.
Supporters of the Reuther brothers
made it clear, however, that they
were unwilling to accede to Mr.. Mich
ener's reinstatement, particularly in
visW OF the fact that others sus-
Evening star., 1941-08-10

pended for unauthorized activity in
connection with the North American
strike were not being absolved, and
did not hesitate to overrule their
leaders to accomplish their purpose.
This should be welcomed, not only
as indicating spirit of independence
on the part of the rank and file, but
also as rejecting a healthy distaste
for any and all efforts to use their
union as cloak for subversive
activities.

Insects, science declares, are lured
by scent. North woods visitors are
sometimes prepared to admit that
black flies, midges and mosquitoes
are paSsionately fond of the aroma
of pennyroyal, tar and citronella.

WIN no more than 10000 men in a
relatively few tanks, the idea grew that
the war of the future would be a war of
relatively few men and a great number
of machines. A more detailed under
standing of what happened in France
leads the military experts to conclude
any lessons drawn from that part of the
war may be unsatisfactory lessons. The
reason is that resistance often was
broken off before real fighting had oc-
Cured and when resistance was success
full retreat was ordered nonetheless.
German experience in Russia, too.
suggests that the tank-plane team ism t
an unbeatable combination when the
enemy is ready to fight and is armed
with adequate weapons.
The trouble with the United States
Army, as it now is being built, lies not
in the relative degree of mechanization,
but in the slowness with which weapons
are being provided. After full year of
supposedly high speed preparation the
troops now in service are only partially
armed with basic weapons of late model.
There are rifles-some of older vintage
and enough old-model machine guns.
But there isn't enough ammunition for
these weapons. And there remains a
very great shortage of all kinds of ar
tillery and of tanks and of aircraft
Part of the lack of enthusiasm of
many men in the new Army traces to
this lack of equipment with which to
train in proficiency in modern war Men
object to apparently aimless drill with
rities and to somewhat airnless march.

The new handicap system TO be

a result league secretaries have
entered every gunner in their
club, instead of their top team.
Expert and novice riflemen were
in pronouncing the new
handicap system the best and fair

Naturally, TO win low average
