SinqIe Commonder-in-Chief
for Army. Navy Proposed
Democratic Whip Convinced Immsdiote
Unifieotion Of Commend is Needed

hat he had become convinced
that immediate unification of
command here over land, sea
and air forces was necessary If
the United States was to develop
its maximum military striking
power.
PERSONAL VIEWPOINT
Although the Alabama Sena-
tor professed to be expressing
only his personal viewpoint, the
fact that the suggestion came
from an important administra-
ton supporter in Congress was
regarded as significant.
Applauding the recent reor-
ganization of the army which
gave the air force equal rank
with the ground and supply
branches, Hill said he felt the
appointment of one supreme
commander for army, navy and
air, operating under the Presi-
dent, would carry this principle
to its logical conclusion.
I'VE must concentrate all of
our forces and resources in one
great striking machine and If we
are going to have this machine
working at maximum eff
cheney, the three main compOn-
ents of our military forces must
be co-ordinated and integrated
to the greatest possible extent"
he declared.
SUPER STAFF NEEDED
THAT can not be DONE" he
continued, unless there is SUI
per staff, headed by a supreme
commander, working here in
Washington to make strategy de-
cisionS and to assume the re-
sponsibility of co-ordinating our
military efforts"
The same sort of co-ordina-
ton ought to be carried out in
the field, he declared. with one
commander charged with the
employment of army, navy and
air branches in the accomplish
ment of any assigned military
task. He said he was informed
progress toward this goal had
been made made in the fighting
theatres.
Hill painted out, however, that
in Washington only the busy
President had actual authority
to coordinate the work of the
army and navy, since both
branches operated as individual
units, each having its own air
force.
AMPLE AUTHORITY
The Alabama senator said he
felt the President had ample
authority under the War Powers
Act to set up such a strategy
board as he had suggested, just
as Mr.. Roosevelt ordered revi-
sion of the army setup recently.
For that reason, he said he was
not urging Legislative action.
Such strategy board, he con-
tinued, ought to be made up of
an equal number of srmy, navy
and air officers. He added that
he was uninterested in which
branch furnished the supreme
commander, SO long as a COM
petent man was picked.
Hills suggestion created inter-
est among other members of the
military committee, particularly
Senator Austin Of Vermont, the
assistant minority leader, who
has been an advocate of unifica-
ton of the command in the field.
Austin said that before COM
mittee decided for or against
such plan, he wanted to learn
what amry and navy officials
thought of it.
