The No. / military man whom
the civilian war agencies of the
government have picked out to
concentrate their attack on is
Lieut.. Gen. Brehon Somervell,
commanding the Services OF
Supply. So successful have been
whippers-up of the so called
feud between the Army and the
War Production Board that they
would have you believe there
is no limit to this mans ambi-
ton and grasp for power. They
tell you not only to Watch
Somervell!" but TO Watch out
for Somervell!'
But someh how Somervell
doesn't quite fill the bill OF what
il takes to be a military dictat-
or, or else there is something
powerfully disarming about his
rather slight figure, his graying
hair, his ready smile, his quick
sense of humor, his blue eyes.
He is tough, but he can take IT
as well as dish il out. He laughs
about all the things his oppo-
nents say of him - Somervell
Is out to wreck WPB, Somerveli
wants to take over manpower,
Somervell has plans to take
over rationing, Somervell wants
TO run civilian economy.
To many bureaucrats and
some congressman, SomerVell Is
the Army. When they say they
are afraid of the Army they
mean they are afraid of Somer-
veil. This might be flattering II
il we're not also embarrassing
Gen Gorge c. Marshall is
chief of staff of the Army and
Somervell's boss, but somehow
no one ever picks on General
Marshall.
The reason General Somer-
veil is picked out for all the
hate is that as commander OF the
Services of Supply he heads up
that part of the Army which
has most direct dealings with
the civilian economy and the
other agencies of the govern
ment In the reorganization OF
the Army general staff, all OIL

NONE TOO SOON

There was nothing premature or innpetuous about
the appointment Of Agriculture Secretary Claude
Wickord as Food Administrator. The wisdom OF the
Presidents selection may arouse debate; there are
both formers and city folks who have limited foith in
Mr.. Wickords profundity and administrative oblltX
But the necessity to have somebody delegated TO bring
order into the chaos of our food Shortages would seem
beyond question.
Even those who have been impatient about the
administrations hestoncy to step firmly into troubled
waters generally are less coptious about the food
situation, and find excuses for the long delay
Probably that is because foodstuffs - meats,
orons dairy products in porticulor-seemed to be
the one type of raw material Of which there never
could be shortage in this country
For close to quarter Of century we have been
diluted by SURPRISES Of these commodities. When oil
else was serene, always could get up good stff
perspiroton trying to solve the form problem, SO
that city folks could offord the food they needed,
while farmers could get enough income to buy the
products of industry We tried subsidies, but never did
we act out from under the burden Of overproducton
Of foodstuffs.
So even when the pinch began to get painful, we
remained under the opote Of established convictions,
be need to ration domestic farm products.
We expect our higher public servants in Woshing-
ton to know more than the rest Of U.s. to look further
ahead, and to protect US against our own ignorance
and shortsehtedness.
Yet in this instance realizing how unbelievin9
they too must have been, when evidence OF irPend-
ing Shortages came in most Of us feel more for9ivng
than we otherwise might.
The danger which Mr.. Wickord has been author
led to avert is getting acute, however, and he must
act fost
There is no danger Of starvation in this country.
But there u.s. in the offine the probability Of
most embarrassing and annoying situation concern
ing several basic foodstuffs.
1t is Mr.. Wckords job to eoIIop to the rescue, to
see thot relatively small number Of selfish hoorders
is not permitted to hide away foodsuffs that the
greater number find nothing but bare shelves in the
stores.

Q BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTONe

General Marshall in order to
leave him free for purely tacti-
cal duties - planning the fight
ing of the war. The job of pro-
curement of everything the Ar
my uses except airplanes was
given to General Somervell, and
that makes him the front man.
THEY'LL PROBE HIM
General Somervell will prob
ably be investigated when the
war is over, if not before. 1t
would be impossible for any
one to be head of supply or
ganization spending the billions
of dollars for which he is re-
sponsible without being investi-
gated. But thoughts Of investi-
eating General Somervell revive
memories of Gen. Charles c..
He'll and Maria Dawes being in
vestigated by Congress after his
administration of S. O. S. in
France following the last war.
General Somervell will be in
there pitching, too.
He comes from Arkansas, he
is so years old, a West Pointer,
an engineer, a lieutenant colonel
in the last war with two and a
half years service overseas.
holder of DISC and DSM, and
he still loves a fight
The reason he fights now is
that the responsibility is his to
see that this biggest u. S. Army
ever raised has all the guns,
food, clothing and equipment it
needs for the toughest war it
ever fought. General Somervell
recalls constantly the scandals
of the Civil War - embalmed
beef, civilian purveyors to the
Army waxing fat and rich on
war contracts out of which the
soldiers who did the fighting
got little or nothing. He knows
by actual experience the supply
scandals of the last war. He says
his aim in this war is to see
that those mistakes are not re-
peated.
He fights other government
agencies, true When the De-
partment of Agriculture experts
who buy food for Lend Lease
express desire to buy the foods
for the Army, he fights it.
He has fought the War Pro-
duction Board and its various
predecessors since the beginning
Of the defense effort. He fought
the priorities system which sim
ply gave rival manufacturers a
hunting license to 60 out pri-
watering for materials, and he
saw that system junked.
STILL PITCHING
He fought WPB's successor to
the priorities system, the Pro-
duction and Requirements Plan,
known as "PURP" until it was
abandoned. He fought to put in
effect what is now the Control
led Materials Plan.
Now that GIMP is in effect,
Somervell is fighting to keep the
scheduling of materials for Ar
my procurement contracts in
Army hands. Though there are
only $4,000 manufacturers in
the United States today, the Ar
my has l,075.000 separate con-
tracts. Requirements for mater
ials on those contracts III Is
thick volumes. They are in Ar
my hands now. that is, they are
in the hands of civilians in uni
form now, and Somervell is
fighting to keep them there and
not have them transferred to
WPB or any other government
agency. That battle is just be-
ginning, for the current agree
ment is merely an armistice.
AS General Somervell sees it,
he is fighting to keep civilian
agencies from taking over the
Army-not the other way round.
