ARMY, NAVY STILL
APART ON MERGER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7-P)-The
chasm between the Army and
Navy over postwar national de-
tense plans grew wider and deeper
today.
H. Strive Hensel, husky Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy, c-iti-
cized before a Senate committee
the War Departments proposal for
a single armed forces department.
Then, Secretary of War Patter-
son issued a press memorandum
disputing Hensers statement of
yesterday that the joint chiefs Of
staff had recommended deferment
of a decision on merging the
armed forces.
|. Hensel described the Army's
proposal as one likely to:
Give power and authority to a
military hierarchy and set up a
holding company" over the serv-
ices;i ~ S
!! Reduce traditional civilian con-
trolls over military and naval af-
fairs to the vanishing polnt.'' and
Increase postwar defense costs
and reduce efficiency.
Hensel testified before the Senate
Military Affairs committee con
sidering proposals to merge Army
and Navy. His detailed attack
conferred on a War Department
proposal for single national de-
tense department with coequal
Army, Navy and Air Forces. It
was outlined before senator's last
week by 1t. Gen. j. Lawton Col
Inns.
BY questions and comments,
Senators favoring the single de-
partment indicated they did not
agree with the Navy arguments.
Patterson said he believed Hen
sci was mistaken in telling news
conference yesterday that the Joint
chiefs had recommended that the
merger decision be put off until
a suggested commission to study
various aspects of national security
had made a report.
In his memorandum, Patterson
said:
mo such recommendation was
ever intended to be made by the
joint chiefs of staff.
early in September, the Joint
chiefs of staff considered a rec.
ommendation that the President
should be asked to appoint a board
to study the effect Of the atomic

Bombs Are Called
Cheaper to Use Than INT

OAK RIDGE, TENN. - Atomic
bombing is cheaper and more eco
nomical than the use of TINT as an
explosive, Col. Kenneth D. Nichols.
district engineer of the Manhattan
Engineer district, said recently at a
press conference.
Figuring the cost of the 1000
bombers it would take to drop a
similar destructive charge, atomic
bombing is cheaper both in costs
and in mems lives" he said. "The
number of men that atomic bomb
ing enables to stay far behind the
lines must be considered"
He said also that construction is
continuing at Oak Ridge.
"But what we have produced
here was done more to help end the
war than is shown in the expendi-
ture of $4,000, 900, 000."
Nichols said the safety record for
the Manhattan district was better
than for army engineering on
s~truction as a whole.
