LETTERS TO EDITOR
TO THE EDITOR:

TO THE EDITOR:
THE representatives OF the
4 American people must put a
stop TO the criminal squander-
ing Of the taxpayers money, or
our country will be laid waste
by an atomic" explosion.
Your editorial entitled The
British Mission" discloses the
most brazen effrontery on rec
ord; it is almost unbelievable
that our British cousins can
have the gall to ask our gift
house for more, after our colos-
sal generosity.
Our regard and respect for a
nation with a glorious past is
fast waning. and il is dawning
upon us that the English people
have become a gang Of shame
less chiselers and betgars.

WHO is so selfish that he

that our sweethearts. husbands
and sons were Is just a couple
Of years ago? Does he realize
that some of our husbands
haven't even seen their three
year-old babies?
Your 18-year-old sons aren't
asked TO give their lives; just a
little time. II they were old

Air Power
And National Security

ing and CO ordination of activities
which our commanders are well able
to provide.
In a combined air force, in fact,
essential training could be simplifed,
duplication of facilities avoided and
millions of dollars in public expendi,
ture saved with increased efficiency
all l,around.
One point which is of vital and
emergency Importance is this:
Our existing air forces are being
demobilized.
During the war there were $780,
900 men in the army air force alone.
They are being mustered out at
the rate of 5000 day.
Our future air defense must be
based upon existing organization:
and this positively cannot be done,
nor indeed could an adequate new
air defense be established, until the
government adopts a new stable and
comprehensive air defense policy.
Air commanders must know what
the national policy is-and what out
posts and areas must be defended
before they can begin to determine
what personnel there must be, what
facilities must be had, and what
training must be provided.
1t would be perilous, and it might
be suicidal, to leave this issue in
doubt.
A IR supremacy may not win wars
"A but neither can wars be won
without air supremacy.
Our security is Immediately at
stake.
The Hearst newspapers have con-
sistently contended that the United
States should be the dominant air
power of the world in order to pro.
tect our national territory and as
sure our national existence.
Atomic bombing, rocket bombing,
planes travelling at the speed of
sound, and jet propulsion planes are
among the most potent new weap-
ons" Of our day.
America can have these better
and more profusely than any other
country: but first of all America
must have A MODERN AIR DE.
FENSE POLICY and a fixed de-
termination that this policy shall
never lag.
The Hearst newspapers, there.
fore, support completely the position
taken by the army air commanders
and call upon Congress to act
promptly for the sake and safety Of
the nation.

At DINNER of the Wings Club
\ in New York City two eminent
commanders in the late war-Gen.
Carl Spaatz and 1t. Gen. James H.
Doolittle warned that AIR
POWER has become a decisive
weapon which must be given it's
proper rank and rating in the ma
tion's defense program.
These speakers said that
Apart from any use that may be
u made of atomic bombs, Cont
nent-to- continent" bombing is here
and consequently the United States
must have air ornaments and per-
sonnel ready to "defend our home
territory from sudden destruction;
and
C-The situation is such that the
AIR COMMAND must be given
parity with the land and sea COM
mands, not only in the strategic
sphere but also in the political or
ganization of our defense structure
The two generals spoke as rep
resentatives of the Army Air Force,
and their considered words could
mean only that in their experienced
Judgment the Army Air Force should
no longer be administered as merely
a branch or bureau in the war de.
partment.
And there is ample reason for
assuming that the civilian authority
as we'll as the military authority in
the war department is fully prepared
to support this view before Congress
and the people.
THE development can perhaps be
Il accomplished by establishing the
cabinet Office of secretary of aviation,
with the secretary of war and the
secretary of the navy remaining at
the head of land and naval forces,
respectively.
This would divorce army aviation
from other army services, which
raises the question of what arrange.
ment should be made for naval avia-
ton, especially as there must be
effective liaison between the two air
forces.
Probably, therefore, better solu-
ton might be found in creating
unified department of national de-
fense in which the army, the navy
and a combined air force would be
equal components.A M N<A
There are, of course, differences
in army and navy air operations,
such as land bases for the one and
carriers for the other, but these diff
ferences simply mean special train.

fluence of the Goebbels' line

But there isn't any doubt that
Germans under the Russians
feel that the Nazis are definitely
through. and II they haven't
committed crimes, there Is hope
for them il they collaborate with
the Russians. All of which they
don't feel under us.
They also feel that they are
treated more as human beings,
are better fed and accorded
amusements. Some more sober
Germans told me that undoubt-
eddy the western Allies will
come around to applying the
same treatment, but that we may
have missed the psychological
moment. Immediately after their
defeat most Germans felt recep-
tive toward their victors. Now
they have hardened and resent
the treatment from the Allies,
as distinguished from that of the
Russians.
So much for what was told

sian-occupied Germany. l be-

Even more important is the
Russian policy of seeing 10 il
that this role of the Russian Ar
my is we'll publicized by the ra-
do and newspapers. Their prop
aganda also stresses the fact that
Germany won't starve. The Rus
slams at present distribute more
food than the Germans had in
the last months of the Hitler re-
CINE. One broadcast stated that
Stain gets daily reports of the
food and reconstruction Situa-
ton in Germany.
The Russians have opened the
aters and movies and have ar
ranged for concerts, all of which
we haven't done so far. Most inn
portant, of course, are the four
radio stations, namely, Radio
Berlin, Free Germany, Soviet
European Service and German
Peoples Station. They have run
since May 18th.
Perhaps the cleverest trick is
that the Russians haven't chang
ed the time schedule of the sta
tons. Germans still find news,
classical music or dance music
at the regular hours to which
they were accustomed. The ra-
dio stations operate "a hours a
day. The programs are infinite
ly more lively than our broad
casts from Luxembourg.
The Germans who run the
programs under Russian super
vision don't ia k constantly
about German guilt, which an
noys the Germans. nor of atroci-
ties, but more of German recon
struction and hope. My impress
sion is that our constant wag-
ging with pointed finger simply
gets the Germans TO turn off
which the Russians avoid. Also
while our programs are run as
strictly imported affairs - that
is, foreigners speaking to Ger
mans - the Russian stations are
run as German stations with

Russian occupied Germany -
The Germans, it may surprise

On a tour of occupied Ger
many during the past several
weeks, this correspondent learn
ed OF a marked switch in opin-
ions of the Germans regarding
the Allied and Russian occupa-
tons. Most Germans, influenced
by Goebbels propaganda, fled
from the Russians in fear that
people under Red Army rule
would suffer terribly or would
face starvation or slaughter.
They now feel that Russian oc-
cupation is more lenient than
that of the Americans or the
British.
To be sure. Nazi underground
propaganda has followed the
line that people in each occupa-
ton zone are treated better than
those of the other occupied zones.
Nevertheless, m any Germans
are convinced that the Russians
do treat them better. went 10

find out the basis for this belief.

RUSSIANS ACTIVE
The Russian Army, beyond
doubt, is more active in recon
Structon work than ours. The
army is very busy arranging for
the rebuilding Of houses and
streets and whole blocks, clear
ing away the debris, reinstalling
power, street cars, etc. All this
is much more speedily accom-

Of course many Germans will
try to influence us to give them
better treatment or incite Allied
jealousy against the Russians by
disseminating just such stories.

AS a final result, while we
still are considered as enemies
- and consider ourselves as
such - the Russians aren't, at
least as far as radio broadcasts
are concerned.
Another feature Of Russian
radio propaganda is that they
make point of contradicting
Goebbels. While we conduct our
broadcasts on non political
basis, the Russians tell the Ger
mans that Goebbels lied, that
they haven't any intention to
divide Germany, that they won't
send German soldiers to Siberia,
etc. In short, they try to create
sympathy for themselves. How
ever, they don't do this by hurt
ing Allied interests. have heard
many broadcast where the
Russians have discussed the war
in the Far East, and Allied in
ternal policies, as we'll as San
Francisco, all in sympathetic
light and always undermining AL
lied unity.
Only in one case to my knowl-
edge did the Russians attack
Ger a n British newspapers,
which they didn't name. These
newspapers had written that the
Russians were too soft on the
Germans. The broadcasts point
ed out that this isn't so, but that
these papers simply were afraid
that the Russians were too Sc
we're against German fascistS,
whom the British want to save.
Indeed, everyone l talked to
agrees that the wedding out of
leading Nazis progresses much
faster under the Russians than
under us. The Russians have
made it clear through radio that
they consider all militarists, i'm
perialist members of the party
and leading members of the Hit
Ter Youth who try TO sabotage
Russian installations or even
murder Russian soldiers, as po-
litically dangerous.
Their actions fit their words.
Whenever they meet obstruc-
ton, they not only shoot the
guilty one but so members of
the party with him. This un-
doubtedly horrifies some. but
others feel more confident that
the Russians really will finish
the Nazis while we so they
say - leave many Nazis in inn
portant positions.
The Russians also make il
! clear that they depend on the
collaboration of good Germans
and that their only hope of a
better future lies in such COL
laboration. Their broadcasts
have coined the slogan, Hope
through cooperation"
The radio also says things
like, Berlin will rise again,
symbolizing the birth of a dem
ocratic nation.
NO FRATERNIZING
There is. however. no frater-
nization. Officers who get
caught fraternizing are broken
TO privates and imprisoned.
Somehow the Germans under
the Russians take non-fraterni-
zation less as an offense than in
our territory. Paradoxically
enough. this can only be ex-

CALLS ON ARMY FOR STATEMENT,

WASHINGTON, June 2 The House Military Committee called to- day for an Army explanation of some of its court martial sentences and discharges.
 Rep. Thomson D-TeX) ranking majority member, said representa- tives of the Adjutant Generals office have been asked to appear tomor- row.
 Asserting that some soldiers and airmen have been given discharges without honor" apparently after suffering. nerve exhaustion from combat experiences, Thomson said he wants a complete explanation or War Department policies in such matters.
 He cited the case of one Texan whose discharge as psychoneurotic he said, appeared unjust. The man is a lawyer and served overseas, said Thomson, adding that with
 such a sGIgIna on his discharge he will be handicapped for life"
 I'm terribly disturbed about this thing" the lawmaker declared. T have heard of a number of in- stances where men have been let out without other than honorable dis charges. Some of these are cases of sheer nerve exhaustion, of boys who have lived through tough air raids. And yet they may be called towards just because of these dis charges"
