ARMY, NAVY A
0KEH MITIGATION
Asks Civilian Head OF All
Services, Separate
Air Force
By EDWIN H. NEWMAN

June Is
(UP)-President Truman to-
night sent congress his final
plan for unifying the armed
services into a single depart
ment of national defense aft
err personally settling the four
remaining Army-Navy dis
agreements in the bitter mer-
ger controversy.
1t was a clear victory for
the Army.
Mr.. Truman, urging quick
action from congress on a
comprehensive 12-point unification
plan, ruled in favor of the Army
on three of the four differences
which had snagged the attempt
of the armed services to reach
agreement.
Brushing aside Navy opposition,
the president sent letters 20 chair
men of the House and Senate Ma
val Affairs and Military Affairs
committees which:
l.. Firmly reiterated his earlier
insistence on a single department
of national defense headed by a
civilian secretary who would be-
come a member of the presidents
cabinet.
2. Recommended that the three
integral branches Army, Navy
and Air Forces - be coordinated.
Each service would be directed
by a secretary, but the three
would not be members of the cabi-
net.
8. With minor exceptions, rec
commended that all Navy land
based planes be placed at the
disposal of the Army Air Force.
This includes planes for naval re-
connaissance, anti-submarine war;
fare and protection of shipping.
The Navy will retain ship, carrier
and water-based aircraft essential
to naval operations, az well as
marine aircraft.
Sides With Navy
Mr.. Truman sided with the Navy
on the fourth point in disagree
ment between the two services
the issue of maintaining the Ma
rine corps as an integral part OF
the Navy. He overruled the
Army's contention that the Marine
corps should not be used for any
sustained land operations in future
combat.
The president recommended that
the Marines be employed for limit
ed land operations essential to
prosecution of naval operations

Settlement OF Current
Differences

WASHINGTON, June 15.-UH-
Senate-House conference on draft
extension tonight faced a deadlock
on the politically explosive issue
of inducing teen-agers. But there
were indications that a compromise
may be reached soon.
Rep. Overton Brooks. D., La,
said he was considering a move
to permit calling up ~19-year-olds as
a starting point" in bridging the
wide split between the senate and
house on selective service extern
sion.
The house version would ban
drafting t%een-agers declare a draft
holiday until Oct. Is and extend the
draft nine months. The senate bill
would permit drafting teea-agers.
The present law expires June 80.
Brooks said that although most
house ~conferees were standing firm
against drafting any 10 and 19-year-
olds, he expected that agreement
would be reached ION some reason

He said in an interview that he
may offer his proposal when the
