ton last InurSday.
The cause of this clash was
the statement of 1t. Comdr. John
S. Thach, thrice decorated for
his work as a leader of Navy
fighter planes In the Pacific,
that not one major ship in this
war" has been sunk by horizontal
bombing-that is by Army planes.
This flatly disputed frequent War
Department communiques claim
ing the sinking of Japanese war
ships and large transports, in
cluding the battleship Haruna,
alleged to have been sunk by a
Flying Fortress, piloted by Capt.
Colin Kelly.
Because 1t. Comdr. Thach
spoke in an official naval press
conference, in the presence OF
Capt. Leland p. Lovette, chief of
the Naval Bureau of Public Rela-
tions. Army men leaped to the
conclusion that his statement
constituted a deliberate attempt
Of the naval high command to be-
little the Army Air Forces.
There have been numerous
controversies between the pub
licity branches of the armed serv-
ices before but, as 1t is authori-
tatively reported, nothing that
compared in venom with this
one. 1t had reached the point,
it is said of an open-Army dec
laration of publicity warfare
against the Navy before it was
appeased to a degree by success
sion of Navy communiques re-
porting successful Army air
bombings.
Army Air Exploits Noted.
Naval communique No. 1877, on
Friday, consisted of five num-
bered paragraphs, every one Of
which referred specifically to
operations of Army planes.
No comparable outburst of
Navy reporting Of Army air ac-
complishments had been record
ed heretofore since the war be-
gan, a circumstance that led
newspaper reporters in the Navy
pressroom to conclude that some
body had been soundly spanked
for the Thach incident.
At the root of the conflict in
the American armed services is
the scorn of Army aviators for
battleships, latterly extended to
surface craft generally, which
has existed ever since the days
Of Brig. Gen. Billy" Mitchell.

I'D Rother Be Right
Our Fontostic Conceptions Of War Are Decried;
Hitler Used Men and Materials He Had

Hitler went into France with q
break-through force one-tenth the
size Of the French Army; it was
quite big enough for that specific,
planned task. The French obviously
needed 10 times as many soldiers as
Hitler because they did not know
what they wanted to do. There is
no limit to your needs when you
don't know what you need.
Lets Build That, Too"
Thus we have tried to meet every
request OF every one of the services,
all at once: it is only recently, for
example, that the Navy has can
celed plans for couple of ships
for 1916; but there is much stuff still
tied up for that remote argosy.
c. F. Hughes of the New York
Times, who has made several inter-
esting calculations in this field,
shows that our ''limitless plan"
ceases to be plan at all: it be-
comes an Unsuitable soaking up OF
everything; we 60 just as crazy find-
ing aluminium for furniture for a
battleship that won't float for years
as we do finding aluminium for a
plane needed over Dieppe this
summer.
The slogan Of our program has
been: Lets build that too." To
start with a specific war program
and ruthlessly subordinate the in
terests of the several services to it
is difficult; there are vested military
and naval interests as we'll as vested
commercial interests. The easiest
way out is to try to build everything.
honoring all requests, and keeping
everybody happy; the catch breath
point comes when we look around
and find we need 100000 900 peo-
pie to carry on.
Our inability to focus on a specific
action, at specific time, has, of
course. been the Fascists' greatest
asset for 10 years. That difficulty
has survived peace and war and is
with us still. 1t was an interesting
remark Gen. Hershey dropped: How
can you expect an army to know
how many men it will need when
on the Volga events are transpiring
which may mean the difference of
500, 900 or 100000 men?"
The way to know how many men
you will need then is to do some
thing. precise and specific, to con-
troll events on the Volga. It is in
furiating how that second front
comes cropping up into every dis
cuSSiOn.

All these matters will have to
be ironed out in due course by regu-
latlons and new orders, and it will
take several weeks for the govern
mental agencies to promulgate de-
cisions on such points, but it seems
clear that the white-collar class
can be protected to some extent
against pay cuts caused by heavy
taxation provided their employers
are making sufficient profit to cor
rect the gross inequalities which
white-collar workers have encoun-
tered as a consequence of the re-
cent rise in the cost of living.

Manpower: Let US take the figure
Of $4,000, 600 men suggested by Maj.
Gen. Hershey as the ultimate size OF
our Army. We must multiply this
by IS, for we have been told that 18
workers are needed in industry to
back up each soldier. The product
is $4,000, 900, standing for the mum.

agencies and has almost fallen out
of It's chairs to find that we would
need country of approximately
300, 900 900 people to meet all esti-
mates.
A couple of weeks ago I spotted a
new trend toward fantastically huge
conceptions of the war. That trend
is moving along briskly. Fowler w.
Harper, deputy chairman Of the
War Manpower Commission, comes
right out and says 1t: 10000, ,OOO
people may not be enough" But
we have no more
Hitler Used What He Had.
Working within this trend, some
one in Washington has estimated
that we need 10000, 900 more tons
Of steel per year than we can pro-
duce. 1t will be a peculiar war if ii
calls on us for 100,000000 more
people than are alive to work 49,
900 900 tons OF steel which don't
exist.
Maybe it will help us retain oul
sanity to recall that Hitler has never

Air-Power Feud RekindIed
Navy Seen Rebuked by White House for Officers
Statement BeIittIing Bombing by Army PIones

The seagoing admirals never
have missed an opportunity to
reciprocats in kind. The men
who believe that the battleship
still stands as the backbone of
naval power dominate all phases
Of American naval policy and
they are suspected even by their
own naval aviation Of playing
down accomplishments Of the
flying forces at every oppor-
tunity.
Added to this is the heated
rivalry between Army and Navy
aviators, which reached a cli-
max in the Battle of Midway.
Spokesman for the Army Air
Forces have contended that
their part in that engagement
was much more important than
they were given credit for in the
communicates from the head
quarters of Admiral Chester M.
Nimitz.
1t. Comdr. Thach voiced the
view Of the more extreme naval
,aviators when he declared that
land based planes are entirely
superfuous as an adjunct to sea
warfare.
Give us couple dozen air.
craft carriers, a properly bal
anced task force, sufficient ma
rines to make a landing, and we
can cut a path across the Pa
ciflc to Japan itself and make 1t
stick" he said. Land based air
craft, he asserted, have accom-
plished little in the Pacific war
and they never will be able to
stop fast maneuvering aircraft
carriers.
Navy Men Skeptical.
Navy men make no bones of
their skepticism as to the credi-
bility Of Army reports of bomb
ing damage to surface ships.
Flying Fortresses bomb from such
great height. they say, that
not even trained naval observers
aboard them could distinguish
warships by type. It is princi-
pally on this ground that they
have questioned the specific des-
ignation Of the Haruna as the
ship sunk by Capt. Kelly. That
ship, originally a cruiser, had
been converted into light bat
tleship, making its Identification
especially difficult. Flying sev-
eral miles high, the Navy experts
say, it is impossible to distin-
guish between a battleship and
a cruiser or between a cruiser
and destroyer.
Friction between the British
Navy and the RAF has been no.
torious. Among other instances,
the sinking of the British battle
ships Prince of Wales and Re-
pulse, off Singapore, was attrib-
uted to failure of nearby land
based fighter planes to come to
their aid, and lack Of air-naval
cooperation is claimed to have
contributed to British defeat in
Crete and North Africa.
Some officials are frankly fear
full that unless the similar jeal-
ousies in our fighting setup are
abated it may result in disaster
to American armed forces.

The Political Mill
Suppression Of News Of Presidents Visit
Almost Wrecked Homes Of Detroit Workers

One thing the President dis
covered for himself on this trip,
IS he announced ut his press con-
ference on his return to Wash
ington-the people out in the
country are not complacent about
this war. They are vitality in
terested in it, as any traveller
can easily ascertain. They are
willing to do their part, no mat
ter what may be demanded OF
them.
They are anxious and dis
urbed, however, about a number
Of things. They would like more
and quicker news about the ac-
tual military operations. They
do not understand the conflicting
reports regarding events on the
home front-with particular en-
phasis on the gasoline, oil and
rubber. They do not like reports
of excessive costs of war mate
rials or understand why these
should be permitted.
How these things will affect
the ballotting in the coming
election is only matter Of con-
lecture. The rank and file of
the voters are doing very little
talking at this stage about poll
tics or candidates. This may
mean much or little. If a wave
of dissatisfaction should develop,
the effect would be, in all prob
ability, far reaching.
Out in the Minnesota farm
country exists an ever-increas-
ing problem-that of farm labor.
No matter what be the ingenuity
and patriotism of the farmers,
If they cannot get enough labor
to help them, they are not going
to be able to meet the produc-
tion quotas of foodstuff next
year.
Enlistments and the military
draft have taken thousands on
thousands Of young men of the
farms. In addition, the high
wages paid for laborers in the
war plants have lured other
thousands away from the farms.
Leaders out here are insistent
that this kind Of thing cannot
go on without seriously affecting
the food supplies of the country.
Longer Hours = Possibility.
1t is recognized that a sufi-
cient supply of labor must be at
hand to turn the war plants and
get out the needed planes and
tanks and guns and ships, as
well as it is necessary to keep
the farms in operation. With the
prospects of an Army number
ing 100000 men or more in the
future, the problem of manpower
for production goals of all kinds
becomes even tougher than at
present.
Women will be and are being
recruited to take the places of
men in many of these jobs. They
cannot be a complete answer,
however. There is one other way
of getting the work done-longer
hours of active employment. The
latest available figures show that
on the average 42h hours are
the weekly employment of all
workers in industry in this coun-
try. That figures out to a little
more than five 8-hour days per
week, with nearly two days a
week OF.
In some industries, the en-
ployes are working more than
4212 hours week, but in others
less. The way the farmers look
at 1t, this is a waste of labor.
They themselves work long hours.
and nearly every day.
There is strong feeling in
this part Of the country that
something must be done-and
not long delayed-to bring about
a better distribution of labor and
also that something must be done
to increase the hours of the
workers, or to SO adjust labor as
to bring greater results.

CAcCutiVe OrQeT, following closely
the language of the anti-infiation
law. says:
Nothing in this order shall be
construed as affecting the present
operation OF the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act
This means that where an en-
ployer has heretofore, more or less
with the tacit consent of his execu-
lives, been ignoring the vast amount
OF overtime and home work done by
his executives or valued employees
who earn more than $50 a week,
there can be a fair computation
made covering time-and-a half for
all hours in excess of 40 hours in
any week and time-and-a half for
certain holidays.
In wartimes, especially, many ex-
ecutives are working long hours
every day and take their work home
Tor the week ends. All this can be
compensated for 50 long as 1t is
calculated exactly and honestly.
Social Gains" Retained.
1t will be recalled that the present
inf1ationary gap" in which many
billions of dollars of purchasing
power have been disbursed, is di-
rectly due to the 40-hour week and
time-and-a-half. Billions of dollars
for overtime on war work is being
paid because the administration
steadfastly refused at the outset of
the war emergency to cancel any
social gains" Thus, the cost of the
war is heavier than it should be,
and a vast number of workers re-
ceiving less than 5000 a year are
not being taxed heavily, but are
being permitted to receive wage in
creases due to overtime payments
which, in many instances, make
big percentage increase in the total
pay envelope.
If the time-and half provisions
are meticulously computed for exec
utives, will not this increase the
so-called inflationary gap" by add
Ing to the sum total of purchasing
power of the citizens? The answer
Is that the total number of persons
In the $4,000 year or over group is
relatively small and this same group
Is actually suffering cut in sal
aries due to heavy taxes, so that
there is no real net excess of pur-
chasing power, but means of max
ing up a pay cut. Certainly 1t Is
not imitation, but def1ation when
salaries are drastically cut.
Insofar as bonuses and other
methods of compensation are con-
cerned, the new executive order af-
fords an opportunity for competing
businesses to insist that there be
fair play. The language of the new
executive order, which again fol-
lows closely the wording of the
statute, says:
But Tor the purpose OF determln-
ing wages or salaries for any Pc
riod prior to September Is. 1912,
such additional compensation shall
be taken into account only in cases
where it has been customarily paid
by employers to their employees"
Language General.
1t will be noted that the language
is general and is in the plural. not
the singular. 1t does not say where
it has been customarily paid by
the employer to the employees but
speaks of customary payments "by
employers to employees"

War Labor Board in seeking to
establish industry-wide agreements,
