Col. K. r. Powell Is
Chamber Speaker
(Continued from First Page)

This was essentially the picture
throughout the Pacific and the re-
sponsibilities of every service were
so closel ytied up because of the
others that it was hard to say
where one ended and the other be-
gan" the veteran tiier said.
World War II opened a crack in
the armOr of the United States de-
fenses and that crack was the in
adequate coordination between the
then two services (Army and
Navy. The coordination was in
adequate in intelligence, planning,
organization, training and capacity
of acting together.
Until March 1912, the Air Corps
was an auxiliary branch of the
Army. The Presidential war pow
ers made it possible to reorganize
the Army, and the Navy Air Forces
came into being.
UNLESS action is taken by Con-
gress, the Air Forces will return
to its former submerged status six
months after the duration"
The colonel then discussed in de-
tail the Presidents proposal, Il
single department for National De
fense, citing particularly that the
plan perpetuates three distinct
branches of the service-the Ali
Forces, Army, and Navy-co-equal
and autonomous, with unification
coming at the top, in the general
executive plan.
Colonel Powell pointe dout the
tremendous saving of money to the
taxpayers which would result from
the establishment of the Director
of Common Supply and Hospitali-
Zation.
Such a directorate" he said
would insure standardization OF
parts and material wherever prac
ticable, and result in the saving o.
human lives through the inter.
changeability of parts on the bat.

PEAC1 REMARKS
Two Major Powers Will
Also Oppose Talks Be-
tween Moscow, Ankara

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-
up - Diplomatic authorities
said today that the United
States and Britain can be ex-
pected to confer promptly on
Russia's renewed Dardanelles
demands, and to back Turkey
firmly.
This is the first important
development in any major in
ternational controversy, outside the
Paris peace conference, since
Premier Stalin's statements on
world affairs last Tuesday. 1t fail
ed signally to bring out any
evidence of fundamentally better
relations among the powers.
Some top flight officials sug-
gested that Secretary of State
Byrnes may already have held
preliminary discussions on the
Russo-Turkish issue with British
Foreign Minister Bevin at Paris.
The bast information here is
that the United States and Britain
will stand absolutely firm in op-
position, first, to any Russian
military expansion into the OAR
danelles and, second, to any direct
negotiations between Moscow and
Ankara.
In the opinion of American Of
ficials such direct Russo-Turkish
dealings would amount to throwing
Turkey to the Russians without
a chance Of resisting Soviet de-
mands.
Rejected Month Ago
Renewed Russian. insistence or
sharing jointly with Turkey the
defense of the straits came in the
face of flat rejection of that idea
a month ago by the British, Amer
lean and Turkish governments.
The American decision was
made only after President Truman
had conferred with army and navy
leaders and had agreed with his
State department advisers that the
issue of the Dardanelles is so i'm
po~tant that once the American

Bray reported there would
be some water available from

homes and that if fire broke
out in the community, there
would be nothing to do but let
it burn"

DANUBIAN TRAFFIC
DECISION DELAYED
Russia Implies That She
Has No Intention OF
Opening The River

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Sept,
%. - P) - The United Nations
Economic and Social council post
poned a decision today on the con
troversial issue of Danubian free
dom of navigation after Russia had
implied that she had no immediate
intention of opening the Danube
to free navigation between the
Soviet and American occupation
zones
In closing a two-day debate,
chairman Andrija Stampar OF
Yugoslavia announced that a de-
cision would be postponed until
next week. This action was inter
preted as a move designed to give
some delegates an opportunity tc
obtain new instructions from their
governments.
A few minutes earlier Peru sub.
mitted a proposal to toss out OF
the council the bitter fight between
the United States and Russia which
saw the Soviet acc-se the U. S. OF
direct interference in the internal
affairs of countries involved in
traffic on the Danube.
Previously the Soviet served no
tice on the U. S. that military
measures in the Danubian area
were of primary Importance and
asserted that changes of measures
taken by Soviet military authori-
ties in the Russian occupation zone
are not possible.
The Soviet declaration was made
as a big split in the council de-
veloped over a U. S. proposal to
convoke an international confer
ence at Vienna to resolve prob
lens now obstructing the resump-
ton of international traffic on the
Danube.
Britain, Belgian and Lebanon
lined up in support of the U. s..
proposal but Peru and Chile came
out in strong opposition, declaring
that the council does not have the
competence to take up the question
of the conference On 1ugoslav and
Czech demands for restriction of
vessels held by American occupa-
ton authorities.
