Vandegrift Advocates
Careful Study Of Plan
To Unity Armed Forces
BY the Associated Press.

6S the ASSocianeu Press.
The Marine Corps today backed
up the Navy's position that any
congressional action looking to ad-
ministrative consolidation of the
armed forces should be taken only
after very careful study.
1t. Gen. Alexander A. Vandegrift
marine commandant, told the House
Postwar Military Policy Committee
which earlier heard Army leaders
advocate consolidation, that he
could "envision no gain to our coun-
try's readiness for war in any reor-
ganization which would discard
the tradition and esprit built up in
the Marine Corps during more than
a century and a half.
In time of peace the American
public measures military economy
on dollars per man basis" he said
In war they measure 1t purely on q
basis OF comparative results. In
both'respects, believe the record of
the Marine Corps is most favorable. -
After the war, Gen. Vandegrift
stated, I'VE should study and PLAN
and keep our minds open in the
interim to insure the best organi-
cation when we adopt it,
otherwise, he warned, I'VE may
adopt one prematurely that would
later appear less desirable"
The attitude of the Marine Corps.
an integral part of the naval service,
reflected the official Navy view that
wartime was not an appropriate
time to undertake any general re-
organization of administration.
Assistant Secretary of the NAVY
Ralph A. Bard told the committee
that in considering consolidation of
the armed forces it should be mind
1ul that the very size of an organi-
zation may defeat all possible econo-
mics and may mean loss to over
all efficiency"
Where size increases, operation
becomes more complex, unwieldlv
and difficult, and the point is ineyi-
taoly reached where losses more
than offset gains" he added. "Com-
olnation of the armed services under
one head points up a stupendo,,s
administrative operation which is
beyond the administrative experi-
ence up to this time of any individ-
ual or group in this country"
Vice Admiral Frederick j. Horne
vice chief of naval operations. told
the committee yesterday he was
"unqualif1edly opposed to undertak-
ing such a reorganization until this
war has been brought to a success
tul conclusion-which it will be
under present organization"
He disclosed that the NAVY has
three postwar plans designed to fit
any policy this country may adopt
In international relations.
One lis based on a world situation
wherein there would be no agree
ment between the Allied Nations to
cooperate in maintaining peace in
the world" he said. The second is
based on the United States taking
the responsibility of peace in the
Western Atlantic and the Pacific
and the third is based on assumu-
tlon OF an agreement between Allied
nations for some system of col
lective security.
He emphasized that these plans
may be revised, "in the light of
more and more definite interna-
tional commitments"

That's fine. But what's in store TOR these
oldsters in the future? In his practical Psy
chology," Dr. F. Kenneth Berrien of Colgate
University argues 'the wisdom OF salvag'
ing rather than shelving seniles.'' He points
to the analogy Of the athletic coach who,
unable to play, can profitably pass along hi
skill to others. He suggests advisory ''exit
;obs'' to ease the employees adjustment to
retirement, and to avoid a company's loss
Of his accumulated experience.
These are sensible suggestions. And GER
tain1y government, business, the arts and
the professions offer repeated proof that use
fitness does not end at go or IS. But to broad
en- the example of this proof to include the
wage Garner in the future will require the
full employment Of today's most optimistic
predictions.
Nobody wants to see a repetition Of the abb
surd and tragic notion that man OF 40 is
ITO old'' to get work. Nobody defends the
outsng of willing active and capable man
of 60 Just because he's co. But If these men
cannot work they must be supported.
The problem is only part Of a bigger one
But it is one more reason why government
and industry and labor should quickly com.
pose their differences and pull together in
harness toward the goal of 'jobs for all.''

Inequitable Proposal

If there were agencies at work in Wash
ington to devise ways and means to injure
Or destroy tax-paying enterprise in this coun-
try, they could not do a better job. It is
hard to believe, however, that this results
from deliberate planning. 1t is also inconceiv-
able that our lawmakers will fail to see
the inequitable characteristics of some oil
the proposals before them.
There are now up for Senate and House
consideration bills for the disposal Of surplus
war materials, which are said to favor cities,
states and public utility districts with special
prices or outright gifts Of such materials, al
though similar towns would be denied tax.
paying private industry which must compete
with the tax-exenpt public enterprises.
1t is unthinkable that the Congress would
pass such unfair legislation. The passage Of
such special privilege legislation would pro.
mote all forms of government tax-subsidized
business, that would cripple or destroy private
enterprise.
Certainly tax-paying industry has a better
right to purchase surplus war materials which
taxes levied against it have helped pay for
than has public enterprise which never paid
thin dime of taxes to help produce such
materials.

Mr.. Lynch

The italians not only have lynched Fascist
criminal before he could be brought to trial,
but have Latinized the English word lynch
into the verb 'linciare'' to describe the deed.
Undoubtedly they thought they were borrow
ing an American descriptive OF an American
practice, which is as regrettable as lynching
is reprehensible.
For the argument still RACES as to just
who the Lynch was who gave his name to
Lynch's law or lynch law. The Encyclopedias
Britannica says he may have been an Eng.
lishman, an 1rishman, Virginian or a South
Carolinian.
But one thing is certain. The practice OF
lynching is older than Lynch It flourished
under a variety of names in medieval Ger
many and the English border country, in
Russia and the Balkans.
Certainly it is time that we erased the last
traces of this barbarism, so that Europe won't
have to look to America to find fitting word
for execution without trial.

tAncients On The Job

AS regards employment, the last three
years have been great times for industry's
old-timers. Many older workers have been
kept on beyond normal retirement age. 9th
ers have returned from retirement to fill up
the ranks of labor and incidentally, replen-
ish their incomes.
Their help and know-how has been valu.
able, as the experience Of the Winchester arms
people proves. Eight months before Pearl
Harbor the Winchester executives saw what
was coming and called in their 700 employees
of Is or more years experience. They asked
these veterans to do a double task-stay on
their regular jobs and also help train new
workers
The veterans responded, formed into ar
organization, and proceeded to pass along
their wisdom to the newcomers who jumped
the Winchester payroll 400 per cent in II
months.

husband has been lost at sea and,
she believes, returns to speak to
her-everybody talks about the

The central problem is an
enigma. It is death. Mr.. Wiley
sets the story in Florida, with
throwbacks to Chicago, and he
is at considerable pains to make
the setting clear and tangible in
the readers mind. He goes much
farther, because he provides an

Mr.. Wylie is the artist, Shawn,

Attacking The Railroads

When Vice President Wallace attacked the

transportation job which has brought the high

has been familiar with transportation prob
lens.
Then came Wendell Berge, director of the
Antitrust division of the Department of JUS
tice, with an attack on the railroads in Kan
sas City early in August. Two days later,
Attorney General Biddle made a similar
speech in Spokane, Washington.
The Wallace, Berge and Biddle speeches
were almost identical. They evidently emanat-
ed from one source. They were an inflamma-
tory political attack against the nations great
est industry, and were prelude to the filing
of suit in the United States District Court
at Lincoln, Nebraska, against the Association
bers of its board of directors, and 81 other
individuals, charging violations of the Shermon
Antitrust Act
These attacks are a direct insult to the
Interstate Commerce Commission, the Office
of Defense Transportation and the railroad
and utility commissions Of the states, for the
simple reason that, by inference, they charge

the railroads to operate in open violation OF

generations of experience behind them, or the
employees Of the Antitrust Division Of the
Department of Justice, who need to find some

Apparently this movement stems from q

In The Pacific

There is no D-Day mystery surrounding
our current campaign in the Pacific. The con-
solidated forces OF General Macarthur and
Admiral Halsey are advancing step by step,
almost calling their shots, toward the Philip
pines, the greatest Pacific prize short Of Japan
itself.
Liberation of the Philippines will be ter
rifle blow to Japan in loss OF strategic posi-
ton, supply and prestige And our gains will
be correspondingly great. We shall then have
two barrels pointed at the heart of Japan.
Manila is less than 1900 miles from Tokyo,
well within the announced range Of the BIG
superbomber 1t is within 700 miles OF the
China Coast.
Japan is clearly facing her doom, but that
doom does not seem imminent. Most Allied
military leaders foresee long and difficult
fight, even when the great force of America
and Britain can be concentrated on the Pa
cific war; For Chinas strength is waning as
our grows in the island campaigns.
The Chinese army is still brave, but in
creasingly weary. It is still wretchedly armed
and supplied And there Is little we can do
about it at the moment. Until we can, and
that day now seems distant Japan will prob
ably continue to tighten her grip on China. no
matter how badly she fares elsewhere.
Some military minds admit the possibility
of Japan's continuing the war for some time
even with the homeland lost, if she retain
Manchuria and her Chinese territories.
Most of these military minds now appear to
believe that there is no bypassing a great
land campaign in China to drive every Jap
out of the occupied territory. So we shall need
speed as well as power, before Japan's grip
On the continent becomes too paralyzing.
Yet General Macarthur, who probably knows
encouraging view. He says that Japan is al
ready doomed by the deterioration OF her high
command and officer material, and by the
possible public reaction to it. This is impor
tant, for it may bive us new propaganda weap
ons for an attack which up to now has beer
extremely difficult because of Japan's culture
and national psychology.
when public opinion realizes that its gen
erals and adnnrals have failed,' says Gen
eral Macarthur, 1.-THE revulsion in Japanese
thought will be terrific. Therein lies the basi
for ultimate hope that the Japanese citizen will
cease his almost idolatrous worship of tn,
military and readjust his thoughts along NOR,
rational lines.''
Therein may also lie the strongest hope TO
speedy victory.
