Silver Spoon Officers

At the beginning of the Civil War there was an un- written law that each Congressman could name one brgadler general How we got an army mobilized with tradition like that seems miraculous at this dis tance But the situation became serious that Lincoln finally set up the requirement that every brigadier general must have military experience"
 We've come a long way since 1861 in the appoint ment of generals just we've come long way in de- Velopment of the draft
 But-We have been handing out far too many com missions to men unqualified for them, without military experience.
 That's why the Record endorses the proposal of Rep resentatiVe Faddis of Pennsylvania, written into the pending Army pay bill It requires that future com missions be granted only to graduates of officers train ing schools, National Guard and ROTC officers or those who have completed training at approved mi- tary schools
 why "quckie" commissions have been tolerated. ex- cept in few special emergency cases. Secretary of War Stimson moved to clamp down on them weeks ago, but Congressional action should put final stop to the practice
 This won't be won by blind leading the blind While the armed forces do have real use for few civ an specialists the number is so comparatively small that 1t cannot explain the number of quickie' com missions that have been granted
 COngreSSmen should welcome the FaddiS proposal as means for protecting them from the demands of in 1uental constituents for commissions for their sons That such demands have been made is secret that avOrites have gotten commissions is secret either This won't be by officers with silver spoons in their mouths
 It will be by officers with brains in their heads Let's make sure our officers are the winning kind

Lick Hitler First?

Rear Admiral Yates Stirling, Jr, U. s. N, retired, writes in recent issue of the Cincinnati Enquirer that the defeat of Hitler is the first goal of the Allied troops and that it has been decided in London and Washing ton that the bulk of Brsh-American military strength this year shall be thrown against Adolf Hitler.
 Rear Admiral Stirling says that il is safe to assume that the domain of Hitler is easier to attack than that of Emperor Hirohito, that Germany is but stones throw from the great land and air bases into which the British Isles have been converted.
 Etrling sees the immediate task of the United States in the Pacific that of guarding vital base in Ha vail assure the safety of Alaska and to protect the supply line of troops in Australia.
 We hesitate to disagree with military expert, but it seems to that at the time must make sure of deenses in the Pacific And in modern war, the only good defense is to smash out with better ofense than the enemy
 At the same time, should allow the Japanese to consolidate their tremendous gains in the Pacific be- fore ackng them in earnest, that job is going to be much tougher Not only that, but the Npponese war machine, like all aggreSsor nations, will not stop if given the chance to take it's breath in the Far Pacific but probably would lash out for fields conquer closer to home.

Share-Your-Car" Move For Trans portation Now Becoming National

WASH1NGTON-Just how serious the shortage of transportation for individuals is becoming is ndicat cd by the fact that President Roosevelt helmsef paus- ed in his many. other duties to call for immediate "share-yOur-car movement
 He didn't restrict his plea to Washington either or 10 War work communities. Through the American Municipal Association and the U. S. Conference of Mayors he has put squarely up to every city in the country and thus to every owner whether he drV- a broken down old alopy or the last specially built streamlined job to roll through the dealers doors
 This is contribution to the effort that is go- ing to have to be voluntary Laws draft men into the Army and raoning curtail the use of every thing that's turning up short But it would be impos- sibe 10 police the whole nation to see if every car is doing his duty in sharing his car with his neghborS and fellow workers The appeal will have to be made basis of patriotism and the success of the movement will depend on that.
 Transportation officials have estimated that the share-your-car drive could easily reach proportions where 5000 900 could be taken off the streets and highways without mparing the effort Think what that alone would mean in savings in gasoline rubber and and tear that cannot be replaced for the duration.
 There's nothing complicated about this "share-your- car business To extent it already has been put into effect in Washington and many war industry cen- ters Automobile association officials here have work ed out several suggestions that will get the job done
 Q) Workers who are in the factories or build ngs and live in the same neighborhoods organize groups of from three to six, each driving his day or week and picking up the others.
 tZ) Business trips in cars may be synchronized by little inquiry or verbal advertising Salesmen who rav el the same route might double up
 (3) Housewives who do their marketing by auto can form "share-the-car" groups with neghboring housewives. Shopping expeditions can be organized the way.
 (4) If children are taken to school by car the same nelghborhood groups can be worked out
 There is hardly purpose for which the car is used whether it's recreationa business or social in which the "share-your-car" formula cannot be applied
 If the government officials have their way the share-the-car movement will rapidly develop to that point where the man women who habituay and needleSsy rides alone will be unpopular in the community as the stacker of World War l.

"Quickie" Commissions In Army.
 Navy Marine Corps to Be Scarce

WASHINGTON - Those "Quickie" commissions in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps are going to be scarcer.

Faddis, of Pennsylvania both Democrats, cut loose 'quickie commissions Chose granted without previous military training) the other day, they didn't leave any room for admitting both sides ot the argument You either agree with Vinson and Faddis, you don't and you better make up your mind quickly because if they have their way there gong to be a law and soon that no commissions will be granted to who haven't gone the regular route of military training
 Vlnson even is in favor of seeing that graduates of Annapolis and West Point do nine months to year in the ranks before they their stripes bars and be- fore they earn the priveege of being saluted first
