Committee Approves
Braden Nomination

The nomination of Spruille Bra
den. former Ambassador to Argen-
tina, to be Assistant Secretary of
State was approved unanimously
today by the Senate Foreign Rela-
lions Committee.
The committee had held up action
on Mr.. Braden for nearly a month
in controversy with the State
Department over American policies
in relation to Argentina.
Mr.. Braden had been charged by
some committee members with in
reference in Argentine domestic
affairs, an accusation that he de-
MED. Some committee members
said they regarded Mr.. Braden as
a symbol Of American desires for the
introduction of democratic elements
into the Argentine government.
It was made plain that opposition
to Mr.. Braden in no way reflected
sympathy by committee members to
the Peron government, which until
recently was in control at Buenos
Aires.
~ 1t also was made clear that the
committee action on the nomination
does not represent retreat by mem
bers of the committee from the prin-
ciple of mutual consultation
among the American republics.

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE Nazi
party's master file of personnel
records, including membership
cards bearing nearly 100000
names, has fallen intact into
American hands.
The prize is considered one of the
most, important documentary dis
coveries of the war. In addition to
the membership cards, the file con-
tains approximately 100000 names

membership but were rejected.
Among the membership cards are

all Nazi-sponsored foreign groups
were punched. Apparently these

were considered as good Nazis as

Many in Argentina.
The auslanders were particularly
numerous in Argentina.
A team under Maj. william
Browne, former chief of detectives
in Portland, Greg, accomplished the
job of unearthing the records, which
give the first official figures on the
number of Nazi Party members.
Maj. Brownies men found the first
100000 cards three months ago and
used them as leads in recovering
the rest. The Nazis had ordered
the records burned, but the orders
for some reason never were carried
out.
Although the membership figures
approached 8,000,0 900, American au-
thorities estimated that because of
deaths, explosions and designations
the Nazi party at its peak probably

President 10 Address
Congress tuesday on
Military Training
Joint Session to Hear
Views; Patterson Urges
Army and Navy Merger

President Truman will address
joint session of Congress at
1890 pm. next Tuesday on the
subject of peacetime military
training, Speaker Rayburn an
nounced today after a White
House conference.
Later Senate Majority Leader
Barley said, II think he's going to
recommend some kind of training
program" He added, however, that
he did not know what the President
has in mind.
Il don't think he's completed his
message yet the Kentucky Senator
said.
Announcement of the Presidents
plan came as Secretary OF War
Patterson advocated merger of the
War and Navy Departments as a
step toward maintaining world peace.
The Presidents appearance before
joint session will be his third since
he has been in the White House. He
went before Congress Immediately
after the death of President Roose-
welt and later to decorate Sergt. Jake
Lindsey of Mississippi, with the
Congressional Medal of Honor.
Had Planned to Send Message.
In his last message to Congress
on September 6, the President an
nounced his intention of sending a
message covering universal military
training, and later told a news con-
ference that he would follow this
course. He also told the news con-
ference that it would be a mistake
to characterize what he intended to
propose as compulsory military
training, but he did not ampIify.
Speaker Rayburn said that he did
not look for the President to go
into thu question of unifcation of
the Army and Navy in Tuesdays
message.
He told the Senate Military Affairs
Committee at the opening of hear
ings on various merger proposals,
that single department. controlled
by Secretary and three Assistant
Secretaries, one each for the Army,
Navy and air forces, would provide
the following benefits:
l. Unity of overall civilian and
military direction to provide true
unity of our security forces"
Supreme Direction Is Vital.
2. Full recognition that modern
war is conducted in three elements
land, sea and air-"and that the
respective land, sea and air forces
must be coordinate and subject to
supreme overall direction"
8. Single direction of business and
administrative policy with resulting
elimination of duplication and saw
ings in manpower, material and
money
4. Centralized supervision and
planning of scientific, industrial and
physical resources and develop
ment.
5. Preservation of the traditions
OF existing forces, "as coordinate
divisions of single department"
Will Insure National Safety.
1.-THE adoption of such a plan,
I firmly believe, will constitute a
great step forward assuring the
national safety in the years that
lie ahead Secretary Patterson
said:
The Secretary was the first wit
ness before the committee. Navy
Department officials are expected
to oppose all suggestions for al
merger.

bomb and other lessons from the
war all pointed in the direction of
