In a statement setting forth its
recommendations for a workable
National Security program, the
Navy Department this week ex-
pressed itself as irreconciliably OPP
posed to a merger of the Armed
Forces and reiterated SecNav
James V. Forestaps proposals for
creation of a National Security
Council composed of the secretar-
les of State, War and Navy.
"The Navy believes that an
overall rather than a piecemeal
national security plan should be
evolved to remedy not only past
deficiencies, but also to provide
for the foreseable future with par
ticular emphasis on the integra-
ton of all elements of national Sc
curity, a central Research and
Development Agency and a Cen
trail Intelligence Service" Forces

Advocating a permanent Ma
tiOnal Security Council with a
permanent secretariat as an inte-
grail part OF our government, For
reStal stipulated it should consist
of the President as chairman, the
secretaries of State and of the
Military Departments, and the
chairman of the National Resour-
ceS Board.
Coordinate All Policies
The security council would CO.
ordinate all foreign and military
policies and in time of war would
advise the president as command
er-in-chief. The council would al
so review and determine the secu- +
rity program and budget for sub
mission to Congress.
Recommended also was a per-
manent Joint Chiefs-of- Staff to
consist of the chief of staff to the
President, Army chief of staff,
the commanding general of the
Army Air Forces, and 2 officers
of the Navy, one to be a naval
aviator.
Such Joint Chiefs-of Staff
would establish unified. COM
mands in peace and war and
would originate the strategic mil /
itary program. Subordinate agen-
cies of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
would be strengthened and estab-
lished on a permanent full-time
basis. 90 Il
Under the proposal the Nation
al Security Council would be as
sisted by Central Research

ments of the government.

ces, productive capacity and man

declared. whether that can be
accomplished only by splitting the
War Department and establishing
separate department is a matter
for Congress to decide" the pro-
posal stated. "A single Military
Department should not be forced
upon the country to establish au-
tonomy for the Army Air Forces.
THE Navy must be continued as
an integrated service not only
with its own air force but also.
