a chance to swipe a box of those
matches marked Stolen from Harry
Truman" I also know that it won't
please Gen. Eisenhower and that
when and if 60 back in the Army
he won't lift finger to keep me off
KIP. But against unification I am,
and for several reasons. Firstly, the
merger makes too much sense. 1t is
too logical. 1t adds up like 2 and
Q. This would never do. 1t would
make thousands upon thousands un-
happy because an Army travels on
disorderliness as well as on its stom-
ach.
Secondly, the merger would result
in wholesale apoplexy by the Navy.
All over the seven seas, as well as on
rivers, lakes and in swivel chairs,
high-ranking Navy brass would turn
green like dollar watch and throw
fits of the most generous propor-
tions. Secretary of the Navy James
v. Forrestal, who already has jeop-
ardized the future happiness of his
lungs yelling against the merger,
would not only jump out of his
beautifully tailored suits but his skin
as well. And, as for Fleet Admiral
Ernest j. King, the chances are he
would play submarine and try to
swim under water from here to Ant
werp.
Hardship on Doughboys.
Thirdly, and most important of
all, it would be unfair to those who
have to serve in the Army In time
of war. The merger would work an
almost unbelievable hardship on the
doughboys. If merged, the Army,
the Navy and the air forces would
wear the same uniform, eat the
same food, live about the same and
get about the same pay.
That would just about finish of
the GI-especially the infantry CT.
In the war just finished, the in
fantryman (and here I speak from
knowledge so first hand that It'll
makes me hungry and my feet wet
to mention iD depended on the Air
Corps and the Navy for all his little
luxuries. The Navy always had ice
water aboard, SO even the perils Of an
invasion were made bearable by the
fact that the Navy took the infantry
man to the beaches and while en-
route he could drink from bubbling
fountains instead of from a canteen
that was as hot as the old
fashioned bed-warming brick.

Ready Market for Souvenirs.
The Air Corps men made more
money than the doughboy, which
meant that there was usually a
ready market for the souvenirs he
picked UP on the field of battle.
The doughboy got his ice cream
from the Navy or Air Corps and
every now and then he could manage
to snag onto a bottle Of the stuff

No, for the infantryman's sake,
there must be no merger. The

manages to get back, he will
