BRITAIN WANTS SHIPS

A recurring rumor among shipping people
here Is that Admiral Lands short-notice trip
to the Big Three conference was because OF
\ British demand for some Of this country S
surplus ships AS the story goes. Churchill
felt the United States should help Britain re-
place the hundreds Of ships she lost during
the war-some Of which were British, but
most of which were chartered from the Dutch,
Norwegians and French. The rumor doesn'
cover President Truman's reaction.

TRUMAN GIBSON wins
MEDAL OF MERIT

ASKING GTON, Sept. "a
(ANP) President Harry S. Tru-
man took pride in presenting the
Medal of Merit to Truman K. Glib
son, Jr., civilian aide to the secre-
tary of war.
The presentation was made per-
sonnally by War Secy. Henry L.
Stimson in his office just before
he stepped out of the role he has
held since July, 1910. Witnessing
the impressive ceremonies were
Mrs. Isabelle Gibson and their
small daughter, Karen.
Speaking without notes, Stimson
expressed his personal appreciation
to Gibson for the "fine service and
cooperation" he had given the de-
partment. He said he had been ''im-
pressed by the candor of your re-
ports and the criticisms of the
army and the war department even
when you would have been able to
gloss over the deficiencies within" +"
The citation itself was as fol-
lows:
"For the performance of ex-
traordinary service to the war de-
partment in handling for the sec
retary adviser the problem of the
fair and effective utilization of Ne
groes in all branches of the mill
tary service including the employ
ment of Negroes in a civilian sta
tus. In the performance of his du-
ties, he exercised at all times a
strong sense of fairness and mod
