Army Loses Elder Statesman
AS Gen. Palmer, 76, Retires

military biographies Gen. George
C. Marshall, former Chief of Staff,
recalled him to active duty in 1912
because he wanted the advice OF
the man he termed the Army S
military elder statesman" Gen

trustworthy and reliable mainstay
when the vital question of estab-
fishing postwar policies arose.
That role was nothing new to
Gen. Palmer. After the 1918 ar
mistice Gen. John j. Pershing, un-
der whom he had served in France,
selected him to make plans for the
establishment of a permanent ma
tional military organization. Gen
Palmer was assigned as adviser to
the Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee in framing the National De-
fense Act of 1920, which governed
much of the mobilization machinery
of World War II. The Army still
operates under this act.

Gen. Palmer influenced many cadets
who later became national heroes
including Gen. Douglas Macarthur

career from 1888 when he entered
the Academy He took part in the
Chinese Boxer Rebellion. AS a gen.
eral staff officer, in 1911, he pre-
pared plan for the organization OF
the land forces under the then Sec
retary of War Henry L. Stimson, and
Chief of Staff Gen. Leonard Wood.
Known as Keen Student.
A keen student of military oper-
ations, Gen. Palmer attended the
war maneuvers of the French and
German armies in 1912 and was in
the Far East at the outbreak of the
World War in 1914. In 1916, he pub
lished his first book, can Army OF
the People," and next year was
named to head a committee as
signed to study the problems con-
cerned in the dispatch of the first
American expeditionary force to
France. He joined Gen. Pershing S
staff and later commanded an in
fantry brigade in the final days Of
the war
With the clouds of World War II
forming, Gen. Palmer acted as ad-

Election Year Draft Bill

During the war it seemed to most Amercans-even those who members of the House of Representatives that top military leaders not only matchess officers but also of more than ordinary general intelligence Their motives and character well as their judgment were respected
 But now apparently some those who are members the House of men like Generals Eisenhower and Marshall to be and devious in their thinking to the least That is the obvious conclusion to be drawn from the bill which the House has passed.
 General Eisenhower explained the Armys needs to the legislators He explained them patiently and explicitly And in his essential thinking he was not opposed to the representatives.
 The Army wants men, not draft system It would prefer volunteers and in their twentes instead of their teens. would be happy send home all fathers and all veterans of combat who want to come home.
 But the Army also has job to do At the present rate of enlistment isn't going to have enough to do the job when all those who should be and wish to be discharged of uniform So must ask fer drafted to carry out work which end and which is particularly neces sary and intensified at present. .
 In answer to the War Departments reasonable appeal the House has passed draft bl which must be unique in the history of military legislation l. continues seectve service but knocks out nductons for five months At the me it maintains the rate of Army discharges at it's present rapid tempo And it closes down practically the only reservoir of replacements
 No is anxious the education of Is and Syear old lads interrupted for military service But without them where the soldiers to from? Young men in their twenties have been eligible for induction for two at least they have not yet been taken it is probably be- cause they are unfit for service They are not then likely of manpower Nor is there much hope that many teenageS will volunteer that they not faced with the alternative of the draft
 It is pontless to urge that the President and the War Department be needed when they ask for Army of specific size for specific job The House knows the desrabty of this It knows the why need stronger peace time Army than ever before.
 But these considerations, which considerations of the nations welfare nothing compared to the threat resentative running for reelection next fall.
 Fortunately the entire Senate is not for reelection this Possibly there enough members of that body to give first consideration to the nations welfare and restore strength and to the feeble toothess legislative found
 ling which the House has deposited on the Senates doorstep

A Thought For Today
Living Memorial

Veterans of both World Wars who members of The American Legion will be the first to give approval to the idea of constructing living memorials in honor of the war dead of our nation ~ m
 Whether the expenditure be large small will be far better memory departed dead becomes use- full part of the community And the preparation of me- ora of this type does not there need be any sacrce of beauty The idea is that instead of setting up can non in front of the Town Hall and letting its significance disappear under of rust the community will far better signify it's for the herm of the war dead if something is added which will benefit the whole com munity Waterbury has some such idea in mind.
 Recently the papers have carried news of such me- mora that is being created at Spring Valley in New York State As the newspaper announcements told the story Spring Valley will turn the towns chief eyesore-a large swampy tract of land-into park. The community has owned the estate for years And nowunder the leadership of the mayor of World War Iczens are contributing to fund.- which is estimated will reach $OO00O make the park attractive outdoor memorial
 Picnic benches, grs, clambake pit, memorial foun- tan and lakes for boating in the summer and lce-skatng in the winter all part of the plan. Much of the con- sruction work and of materials being contributed by local business Another attractive feature of the planned park is memorial line of trees each dedicated to man from Spring Valley who died in action. Memorial columns will carry the of all service of the town
 Not all communities will have opportunity to furnish the type memorial that is being provided Spring Valley But those communities which interested in memorials make they will have value commensurate with the purposes for which they are conceived

Views of the Press
DR. ALBERT B. MEREDITH
Hartford Timesl


 Every inch of his manly stature and virile mind an educator, Dr. Albert B. Meredith's death at Wake field, N. H., his native State, Tee moves a strong man from the edu- cational scene. Connecticut learned to know him well while he was com missioner of education during the decade of 1920 to 1880.
 Dr. Meredith not only had a wealth of information on school ad- rninistration and teacher training, but he also had the courage of his convictions, He never trimmed his sails when there were strong hostile legislative winds blowing against State educational appropriations or policies which he advocated. Legis- lators came to have a healthy re- spect for his views. They were hon. estly held and usually well support ed by pertinent facts and cogent argument.
 III OOuuSCVlCutD LIT, A0C0ulbn gave firm leadership to the Idea of. con- solidating and improving rural schools. That has been long, slow undertaking, but marked progress has been made. Much of 1t was made in the decade during which he was Commissioner. He later served Hart ford as special adviser when the District schools were consolidated in @ unified system,
 Like his successor, pr. Alonzo C.. Grace, in the Connecticut post, Dr, Meredith buttressed his views and policies with wide information gain- cd from surveys made in various cities and states. There was genuine perspective in his viewpoint which made 1t difficult to combat even if 1t was not always acceptable for reasons of cost or Sheer change from traditional methods. He was soundly progressive. Promotions and honors were many. He quit any job or po- sition only because bigger and better one invited his services.

 These polls naturally could not go into the nuances of OPA But undoubtedly what the ma jority who voted for continuation of price control meant was price control that is real price control
 
 The House voted for extension of oPA for nine months But the bill was so rddled with restraining amendments that those who know something about 1t say 1t no longer will be effective price control This has been spelled out in detail by Chester Bowles stablizaton Director, and Paul Porter, OPA head.

Youthful Vigor

 Certainly, the report complimentary we'll en- couragng But occurred how seldom the compliment of youthful mental vgor is paid to holder seeker of high public office Anyone who remembers back two years recall what Mr. Dewey opponents said about the men, ta vgor of his early forties Caroonsts pictured him in Buster Brown suits while detractors referred to him Buster
 Nevertheless it scarcely be said that mental vigor isn't asset particularly in Mir.
