Of giving joint military advice to the
war cabinet.
But for this purpose they ought to
have a joint staff. something much
more than the joint board which
now merely threshes out questions
in dispute between the two services.
They require a joint stan OF very
carefully selected officers, working
together, living together, operating
entirely apart from departmental
control.
Should BE Divided.
This staff ought to be divided into
intelligence, operations and plan
ming groups, with special inte.lock-
Ing groups for each theater of opera
tions. This stan must acquire, and
must work in spirit coalition: its
members must concern themselves
with nothing but "the big picture
and In viewing that big picture they
will have at their command all the
information at the disposal of the
war cabinet, made available to them
through the military and naval sec.
tions Of the secretariat.
As long as 1t Is understood that
this joint stan is responsible to the
chief Of staff and the chief Of naval
operations in their joint capacity
as military advisor to the President
and the war cabinet. there will arise
none OF those jealousies and dim
culties which would inevitably re-
suit from trying to put a big general
/ staff over the two lesser general
STATS.
Moreover, military advice in the
highest echelon will have the bene-
fit Of due consideration of the other
essential factors which must modify,
and in some cases control, military
planning. Naturally, this joint staff
should have the fullest liason with
the STATS Of the two services, but
the necessary arrangements should
be made to divest the officers COM
posing 1t from the immediate con-
troll Of their heads of departments
It Is only by first understanding
the difference between the func-
tions Of stah work and command,
and the need for co-ordinating all,
and not just q few, Of the fields of
activity which are essential ingredi-
ents of victory. that we shall ac-
quire the proper machinery for the
united national effort which, once
1t is organized and properly di-
rected, will win this war as surely
as day follows night. The longer
we take to create the necessary or
, ganization, the longer it will take
! to win the war: and every unnec-
essary day Of conflict costs unnec-
essary loss Of those young lives
which are the future hope OF the
Nation.

LANSING, May % - up -
The State Selective S ervic e
headquarters today ordered To-
cal draft boards to review i'm
mediately the cases of all reg
istrants who have been defer
red for reason of dependency.
Spokesman said Sc per cent
of all registrants are in Class
Three, and that somes boards
have never completely recon
Sidered Glass Three deferments,
although it seems logical that
many persons no longer are en-
titled to that classification.
In Class ga are men defer
red solely because they have de-
pendentS. Glass 3 B includes
those who have dependents and
are employed in essential in
dustry. This picture also may
have changed in many instances,
the spokesman said.
1--WE want every board to re-
quest supplemental statements
from all sons in Glass Three,
the announcement said, as to
whether their status has chang
ed since they were classified
We think this will uncover many
who are eligible for reClassifi-
cation"

Defeat Of Compromise
BY House Stalls Measure
House Instruets Committee Members
TO Insist on $50 Monthly Minimum

er the Senate and the House
Military Committee had approx
ed S42, a SIP increase in the
present pay of privates and APP
prentice seamen with more than
four months service. One Senate
conferee predicted that in view
of the House determination the
Senate would yield to the $50
or a compromise middle figure.
Chairman May (D-Ky.) of the
House Military Committee, who
heads the House group, declined
to predict the outcome and said
he did not know when the con-
ferees would get together.
JULY IST OUT
There is one thing certain, p"
the KentuCkian asserted, what
ever pay increase is decided on,
it won't be effective now until
at least July /, if then, since the
bill under its own terms won't
become effective until the first
day of the calendar months aft
or its enactment"
Led by Rep. r ankin Cd
MlssD, House proponents of the
$50 figure argued that Austral-
ian soldiers still would be paid
more than Americans, Can Aus
sic private gets S62.l0), that in
dustrial workers received more
in a week than soldiers and sail
ors were paid in a month, that
Congress had voted huge sums
for relief agencies and the Ma
tional Youth Administration and
had not blocked large profits on
war contracts, and that a raise
to $50 might prevent a bonus
march after the war.
Against these contentious, op-
ponents asserted the House was
permitting politics" to enter too
largely into consideration, was
putting "the dollar sign on pa
triotism, and was overlooking
the fact that soldiers in the
fighting lines would rather have
ammunition than money.

Fear that even more of his

Deal For Negroes
tB, A. c. ToopLEl

At the Republican convention
in Michigan. held Sept. 20. state
leaders of the party passed a
resolution which went on record
as advocating a square deal for
Negroes in employment in gov
ernmental. civilian and defense
jobs. and the abolition of racial
discrimination.
Arthur Bowman, Negro can
ddate for the state legislature
on the Republican ticket. was
endorsed and unopposed at the
convention. Attorney Charles RoN-
borough, who has figured prom
inently in Michigan Republican
circles for many years, served as
,ice-chairman OF the convention
This liberal attitude OF Repub-
leans toward Negroes. in the
opinion OF political observers,
shows the current trend OF whole
hearted cooperation and fair play
which is sweeping the COP. Re-
rublicans are becoming more
strongly united and more ag-
gressive. and II is predicted that
this progressive attitude will rally
many new supporters to the Re-
publican banner In the November
election.

FINE RECORD
BY Staff Reporter

When the voters Of Wayne Coun-
~ 60 TO the polls TO vote on No
vember 3, they should not forget
William E. Bowling. who is cam
didate for reelection to the Office

Thousands Of leading citizens have
testified that William E. Bowling
has proven himself to be fair, inn
partial. efficient and courageous
while he has been Prosecutor Of
Wayne County. Mr.. Dowlings re-
cord on fairness to all groups OF
citizens is evidenced by his appoint
ment of three Negroes TO his staff
in the person of Attorney Charles
w. Jones. Attorney Judson B. Pow
ell and Andrew J. Smith, active
civic leader Bowling is the first
prosecutor in the history of Wayne
County to have three Negroes on
his staff.
Mr.. Jones has handled practically
all major criminal trials in the
county before the Circuit Court and
the Recorders Court. Mr.. Smith
has supervised investigations in
volving thousands OF dollars and has
been instrumental in bringing to
justice alleged white and Negro
swindlers.
Prosecutor Downing has led a
fight to enforce the Civil Rights
Act having to do with discrimina-
ton against Negroes in public
places. His office has given aid to
many deserving citizens. Prosecut-
or Bowling has put stop to whole
sale alleged police brutality in De-
troit and been the first to demand
fair treatment for all minority
groups. Organized crime and rack
cts that have preyed on the poor
and underprivileged have been
broken up.
Prosecutor Bowling made it pos
sible for Detroit to have its second
Negro member of the State Legis-
lature when he fought to help get
Rev. Horace A. White nominated
by the Democratic party for state
representative.
Detroiters will also remember
William E. Dowling's activity in the
conviction Of the Black Legion gang
of anti-Americans.
Because of his record and his
unreasonable fairness Wayne
County Prosecutor William E. Dow
ing merits your vote of confidence
on November 3.
