My Dear Mr. Phillips:
HAVE read in the Chicago Herald
American of April 9 the announce

totalling S25,000 are offered by that news
paper for blueprints for "a city liveable."
May l not through you extend to the
editors and publishers of the Herald
American my congratulations for this ex-
ceptionally fine piece of journalistic enter
prise?
Not only Chicago but all of our large
cities are becoming, through lack of intel
ligent planning, more and more unattrac-
tive as places in which to live and work.
The constant drifting of taxable wealth to
the suburbs is a danger sign that soon

THE great war bond drive now in
l. progress throughout the nation,
the seventh in the series which
started at the outbreak of the war,
has served to center the attention of
the American people upon the war
in the Pacific
All of the earlier war bond drives
have been financing operations for
the European war principally, and
for the Pacific war only in such de-
gree as men and weapons could be
SHARED divided from what the
American high command officially
designated as our national task of
most urgent necessity.
By virtue of this high priority In
men and weapons, the European war
was carried forward with great
energy and overwhelming superior
ityr and has how been successfully
and VIGOROUSLY concluded.
DUT in the meantime, of course,
ID the Pacific war-being on short
ratlons OF men and WeaponS-haS
been conducted more or less as
military holding operation, until
such time as all all the elements of su-
periority which we were capable of
achieving could be brought to bear
against Japan.
This meant a longer war in the
Pacific, and in the beginning it was
a very dangerous polcy-since the
japanese were left free to overrun
the Pacific at their will and to plum
der its great wealth.
RoweOer, the japanese missed
their opportunity in its earliest and
larger proportions; and by the time
they saw what they had missed our
policy Of almost exclusive commit
nner' to the European lUar had been
sufficiently and Wisely modified to
permit the halting of Japanese ex-
pdrsIon.
In good time, in fact, and due in
large part to the superlative skill
and heroic bravery and great sacri
fee with which our inadequate forces

not be suitable, Detroit no longer
should delay.

busy acquiring it.
There is general agreement that
Detroit needs a modern airport

future.
Planning the more comely city of the
future is task not only for experts; every
man tired Of the noise and confusion, the
dirt and inconvenience of the congested
metropolis at one time or another must
have formulated ideas of his own for bet
ter order of things urban.
The Herald.American is performing an
important public service in providing
means of focusing these ideas and bringing
them to bear upon the problem that IS

may be truthfully reported that
a citation for a genuine Medal
of Honor was won in life by
the late Brig. Gen. Theodore

the Pacific War VIGOROUSLY Make the Peace PERMANENTLY Bring Our Boys Home PROMPTLY
Seventh War Bond Drive

fought in the Pacific, the japanese
were ultimately expelled from many
strategic areas and are now under
steady assault in their homeland.
But the American people, while
accepting the necessity of finishing
the European war first, were never
for a moment content with the sort
of war being conducted against
Japan.
They have always known that the
quicker we are able to throw all our
resources against Japan the sooner
the war will be over.
They have always known that the
more American fighting men and
weapons that are committed to the
Pacific the fewer will be lost.
They have always known that
whatever victory in Europe might
mean to the rest of the world, there
could be no peace or security for
America until Japan was rendered
incapable of aggression.
NOW the American people are free
to DO all the things that are
necessary to defeat Japan speedily
and completely.
This war bond drive is the mighty
symbol of that new freedom
Every dollar raised by it will
strike a blow against Japan.
The whole fourteen billion dollars
raised by it, if not yet sufficient to
end the war with Japan, will be de
voted entirely to the fastening of
the final and total victory.
This is OUR WAR we are fight
ing now, without further diversions
of either effort or money.
This is the war that started at
Pearl Harbor, and that will only end
and let our boys come home when the
japanese military power is ground
into its own dust.
The American people are not
merely buying bonds in this great
drive, but they are buying at last
THEIR OWN victory and peace and
security.

RUT this is not the biggest
- change being worked up
inside. A personnel dynasty
had been built up within the
government. II was headed BY
MIR Rooseveit.s administrative
assistant William n. McReyn-
olds. He chose the heads of all
The important bureaus, and the
bureau chiefs whom he selected
in turn, called out his will in
selecting their subordinates.
These were not political ap-
pointees Democratic party as

various people around Mr..
Roosevelt. He himself did not
have much time for the matter,
and left everything to McReyn-
olds. who allowed himself full
leeway in setting up a super
regime reaching into every gov
ernment bureau.
Mr.. McReynolds was dropped
by Mr. Truman soon after taxi
ing office. He may have pom
dered a while about leaving,
but then departed silently. His
departure signified the end of
this method of choice for pro-
motion and pay in government
service.
BUREAU heads hereafter will
ID be chosen by Mr.. Truman
himself and they in turn will be
allowed TO choose men with
whom they can work. Sus-
pect the new Postmaster Cen
eral Bob Hannegan will keep
an eye on this matter for the
Democratic party.
There was another clique
which had long tenure and
amazing growth under Mr..
Roosevelt-the Frankfurter ma
chine. Each gov vernm ent
bureau, no matter how small or
simple, generally has legal
counsel or staff. and Supreme
Court Justice Frankfurter was
instrumental in choosing the
key men for nearly all OF these.
In his time at Harvard law
school he had amaSsed- personal
connections with an army Of
young lawyers of his school of
legal thought.
