Court Studies Widows Plea
For Police Pension of Marine

District government motion, to dis
miss suit through which Mrs.
Anne Thompson OF Bethesda, Nd,
seeks to have District Court force
the Commissioners to pay 4 pension
to her and three minor children
from the boards funds, because OF
the death of her husband, Myron E.
Thompson in the Marine Corps. At
the time Of his death in June, le42,
in New Zealand, Mr.. Thompson was
on leave from the department and
was d marine lieutenant.
The suit claims members Of the
family are entitled to the pension
because Mr.. Thompson was still q
member of the force. It also stated
that 31a per cent had been deducted
regularly from his pay to be applied
to his pension fund, until he was
granted leave without pay when he
went on active duty with the Marine
Corps in November, 1910.
The suit asks q pension of $50 4
month for the widow and SO q
month for each of the three chill
dren, including back pension, from
the time of Mr.. Thompson's death.
Through Assistant Corporation
Counsel Lee F. Dante, it was argued
in behalf Of the District government
that the death would have had to
be in line of duty as a member of
the Police Department for the pen
sion to be paid.
Attorneys Leslie c. Garnett and
Laurence H. Green, representing the
widow, contended, however, the FAM
'fiy is entitled to the pension by
virture Of Mr.. Thompson having still
been a member of the police force,
although on leave. The attorneys
also argued that widows and chill
dren are now receiving pensions in
other cases where policemen died

in June, 1916, whichever came first.
And Mr.. Byrnes did not say its pro-
visions would be used actually after the
war had ended But the implication was
there, and the Federal Government has
been reluctant to relinquish powers
granted it to meet emergencies as the
people very we'll understand
The resignation of Mr.. Byrnes as war
mobilization director was another blow
to the manpower bill. Many of the
SenatOrs-and members of the House
have had great confidence in Mr.. Byrnes,
and he was to have been administrator
of the proposed law in major part. In
some quarters the conference bill was
regarded as legislation for Mr.. Byrnes-
Just as Congress several years ago legis-
lated for Jesse Jones, when it specifically
authorized Mr. Jones to be Secretary of
Commerce and to retain his Job as head
of the Federal Loan Agency. Mr.. BrvneS
and Mr.. Jones are both out of office now.
This emphasizes the unwisdom of legis-
lating power to specific individuals. No
one knows how long, or how temporarily,
the individuals may remain in office. No
one knows who may be appointed to
succeed them. In the case of Mr.. Jones.
Congress found itself in the position of
being compelled to undo what it had
done, by law, when the President ap
pointed Secretary of Commerce Wallace
deemed by many of the legislators
unqualified for the Job of Federal loan
administrator. The appointment of
Judge Vinson to be war mobilization
director, made Immediately by the Presi-
dent on the resigna ton of Mr. Byrnes.
failed to stem the revolt against the
marpower bill although the legislators
have great confidence in Mr.. Ninson,
too.
The administration found itself. in the
case of the manpower bill, opposed by
a new kind of "unholy alhance"-using
a phrase coined by Senator Guffey of
Pennsylvania when administration meas
ures were fought by Republicans and
conservative Democrats from the South
This time Mr.. Guffey himself was part
of the antiadministration alliance. 1t
was majority of the liberal Democrats
lined up with majority of the Repub-
licans who killed the bill, while the
Southern Democrats in most cases voted
with the administration.

Discipline in Industry

A local of the CIO United Elec-
trical, Radio and Machine Workers
has given satisfactory evidence that
a union, when it wants to do SO,
can maintain production by dis
ciplining it's own members.
The union in this instance had a
closed shop contract with the Matam
Corporation of New York, which
manufactures forty-millimeter shells.
Fourteen members in the grinding
shop resorted to showdown in an
effort to obtain higher wages. The
management reported this fact to
the union, and, after an investiga-
ton, the union placed the offending
workers on trial. All were found
guilty and six were expelled, which
means the loss of their jobs. while
the others were suspended and fined.
There was no more trouble in the
Matam grinding shop.
On the face of the matter this
force discipline on their membership,
especially when a desire on the part
of union officers to respect contract
is reinforced by the power that &C
companies the closed shop. 1t is
also a demonstration, however, that
there is truth in the complaint that
management is finding it increas-
ingly difficult to exercise its tradi-
tional disciplinary function. In this
case it seems that the management
of the corporation willingly delegated
its right to maintain discipline to
the union, with results which appear
to have been good. But, from man.
agements point Of view, there is
obviously a serious question as to
the ultimate consequences of such
a policy.
Evening star., 1945-04-07
Command in Pacific

The announcement by the Joint
chiefs of staff dealing with COM
mand relationships in the Pacific
settles problem that had caused
prolonged discussion and Specula-
ton, not untinged with controversy.
The basic issue was whether to fol-
low the method employed in Europe,
with one supreme commander, or a
team command functioning under
the overall direction of the joint
chiefs of staff in Washington.
The latter alternative has been
adopted. There will be no Pacific
"EiSenhower" instead, while the
entire Pacific war theater is treated
as a strategic unit, the command
will be divided between General
Douglas Macarthur as head Of all
military forces and Admiral Chester
w. Nimitz as head of all naval and
Marine formations. Indeed. the
command is actually split three
ways; because the twentieth Air
Force. comprising the B-29 Super
FortreSSeS, is to be left under the
command of General Of the Army
H. H. Arnold with headquarters in
Washington. This conforms to the
concept of those tremendously long
range bomberS as having a quasi
independent "global' status and as
such not responsible to the COM
mander of any one war theater but
rather to the joint chiefs of staff
in the Nations Capital. The other
branches Of the Army and Navy Air
Forces in the Pacific will, however,
be under the orders Of General Mac
Arthur and Admiral Nimitz, respec-
lively
This new directive would seem to
conform to the strategic realities of
the situation. In the early stages of
the war against Japan, when our
forces were operating on the perime-
ter of an oceanic block controlled by
japanese land, air and sea power,
unity of command was impracticable
even as within the respective
branches of the services. Now that
we control the Pacific Ocean and
are drawing the net around the Jap
anese citadel, strategic unity is not
only possible but desirable. How
ever, the strategic balance as be-
tween Army and Navy is not constant,
but will shift from time to time. At
present the Navy is taking the main
initiative, as it reduces the island
outposts of Japan, with possible ex-
tension of efforts to gaining foot
holds on the China coast. But after
the close of the war in Europe. mass
transfers of ground troops will rem
der possible either a direct invasion
of Japan itself or large-scale opera
tionS in China, or both. Then the
initiative will normally be taken by
the Army. The present directive
allows for such changes by estab-
fishing the principle that local COM
mand shall devolve according to the
nature of specific operations. How
ever, overall strategic planning
shall remain with the Joint chiefs of
staff Basic unity on the highest
level is thereby retained.

Detectives on OkinaWa
Br Mai. George FIELDING Eliot

destined tc become We have what We
came to Okinawa to acquire
OkinaWa offers very considerable
possibilities as base. 1t is much larger
than Guam; in fact, it has about three
times the total area of Guam, Tinian
and Saipan taken together-and we
know what scale of attack has been
directed against Japan from that triple
island base. Its main anchorage is much
more commodious and better sheltered
than anything that the three Mariana
Islands afford; Nakagusuku Bay is
capable of accommodating the largest
warships, and has room for the greater
part OF the Pacific fleet and its train
to swing at anchor. Once Okinawa is
in our possession, operations of major
Importance, air, naval. and amphibious,
may be carried on from it.
At the moment, the actual situation
is favorable, though it would be too
much to say that quick decision is in
sight. We hold the whole center of the
island. To the north, the Marines are
pushing what seem to be comparatively
small Japanese forces back toward the
mountains. To the SOUTH the oath
Corps of the Army has run into much
heavier resistance along 3l2-mile front
which stretches across a comparatively
narrow part of the island from the
west coast just north of Machinato
Airf1eld to the east coast about midway
of the curve of Nakagusuku Bay.

Here the Japanese are reported to
have launched yesterday morning)
their first counterattack of any conse-
quence, which suggests that the oath
Corps mas pushed in the Japanese out
posts and is coming into contact with
their main line of resistance.
The japanese strength on Okinawa
Is not known. There have been all sorts
of guesses, ranging as high as 10000
and averaging around 10000 If this
is so, however, the japanese high COM
mand for once made an accurate esti-
mate of our intentions; for it is hardly
to be supposed that they have stationed
$4,000 men on every one of the islands
which we might have attacked; and
after our intention to attack Okinawa
became reasonably manifest, it is not
to be supposed that the Japanese were
allowed any opportunity of reinforcing 1t.
