evaded the issue. They have, In
effect, begged the question so that
the argument in Congress will GEN.
ter about the question of the sur
vival of the civil departments OF
the Government and not the neces-
slty for the merger of the armed
forces. They were asked to weld
the Army, the Navy, the Air Forces
and the Marines, into a single CO.
hesive fighting force. What they
propose to do is to throw all OF
them into barrel and roll it down
steep hill.
Merges Civilian Agencies.
Instead of solving the problem
of merging these forces, the bill
proposes to merge the civilian agen-
cies of the Government. This is
the same kind of thinking that led
to Pearl Harbor. 1t Is time that
both services learned that the place
to wear the old school tie is around
the neck and not over the eyes. In
times like these, when the facts
demand the merger of the armed
forces, to stand on tradition is as
silly as for a man with gangrenous
arm to refuse to have it amputated
because, traditionally, he has had
two arms.
This is a bill to brassify, and
probably to ossify. the Government
of the United States. A look at the
war record shows that it was not
the civil agencies of the Government
which did SO poorly during the war
The great mistakes which have
come to light so far were those per-
petrated by the armed forces.
| When I first discussed this bill. ]
Evening star., 1946-05-27

This still is a vicious piece of
proposed legislation. 1t is bill
which seeks to reduce the Cabinet
of the United States to the status
of messenger boys for a triumvirate
composed of the Secretary of Com
mon Defense, the Secretary OF
State, and the chairman of Ma
tional Security Board which would
have wider powers than any other
agency has had in the history OF
the United States.
Doesn't Meet Problem.
Furthermore. this bill, as !
pointed out before, does not go to
the heart of the problem, or even
begin to be the basis for merger
of the armed forces.
The demand for a merger of the
armed forces came not only from
Congress and the executive arm of
the Government, 1t came from the
field commanders. Army, Navy and
Marine, who at Pearl Harbor and
thereafter, time and time again,
found themselves hamstrung be-
cause of conflicting lines of COM
mand, duplication of operations,
etc. This conflict cost the lives of
fine American boys, and it is the
memory of those who died because
of this confusion which requires
the merger of the armed forces.
The Army and Navy brass have

the Army. No sooner had the col

limbered with q persuasive general

ascertain the paternity of the child
He was right. On investigation,
found what should have known in
the first place-that in any case
in which there is question whether
a soldier or sailor is the father OF
a child, the chances are that the
Navy Is responsible.

By Jack Hond

Bill lSinker Bali) Zuber, a luck

to be a $500 bargain find for the

Local Amvets Pushinu
Campbell S Claim

Bruce Campbell's claim of a years
salary against the Washington Base
ball Club now is under consideration
by United States Attorney Edward
M. Curran following series of legal
moves sponsored by the American
Veterans of World War II, which is
backing the former Nat outfielder in
battle which will affect numerous
other major league players.
Campbell, who returned to the
Mats this spring after three years in
the Army, was released during spring
training and contends he is entitled
to between $1,000 and $4,000 from
the Mats, who paid him a $4,000
salary in 1912.
Ray Sawyer, local department
commander of the Amvets. says
Campbell was given a "30-day
brushof with Is days pay" by the
Mats in violation of the National
Selective Service Act. Clark Griffith
president of the Washington club
says Campbell was tried this spring
and simply couldn't make the
team"
Campbell is basing his claim on
the fact that under selective service
returning veteran is entitled to his
job for at least one year. Grifiith
contends the veteran must be quail
fed to hold his job.

on the return trip. Harrison opened
with a r-matching 36 and then
banged three brides on the final
nine for under 80.
Only reason Stranahan and Har-
rison finished in front yesterday
was the failure OF United States
