Nimifz Asserts Fleet
Is Almost Impotent'
Due 10 DemobiIization

Rapid rehabilitation has reduced
the victorious American fleet "al-
most to impotency," Fleet Admiral
Chester w. Nimitz said last night in
an address before the National Geo.
graphic Society at Constitution
Hall.
only the fact that nobody threat
ems our security today" the chiet
OF naval operations added, allows
me to contemplate the state of our
Navy with some degree of equanim-
ity. hope our present weakness
Is but transitory. hope 1t will never
again become habit"
His concept of "a sturdy, inde-
pendent American sea power" is as a
"guarantor of peace-not only peace
for the United States but for the
world" Admiral Nimitz declared.
Bomb fastened Process.
Describing the defeat of Japan as
IAN historic demonstration of sea =
power" he said. "the atomic bomb
merely hastened process already
reaching an inevitable conclusion,
but would have you remember that
even that bomb was delivered by
sea power to an airplanc on an
island captured by sea power, which
few with fuel supplied by sea
power"
He pointed out seapower is made
up Of varied and complex factors
arising from "the fundamentals of
our national strength" They in
clude, he said. mot only the weapons
themselves, the ships and guns and
airplanes. but the training and the
talents to employ them success
fully"
The whole effort was concentrated
in the successful war against Japan
through the strategy of duplicate
command and servicing at sea-" Ad-
miral Nimitz added
Servicing at sea, he rointed out,
meant that American warships were
physically able to operate continu-
ously away from base, doubling and
tripling the effectiveness of the
fleet.
DAPAdhnS DuPIhCAtC SVIlIHoDu
The hands and brains" that di-
rected the ships could not stand this
pace, however, "and that is where
the principle of duplicate command
enters"
He explained that the 3rd and
5th Fleets were the same ships,
with Admiral Halsey and his staff
fighting the ships while Admiral
Spruance and his staff planned the
next operation, and vice versa.
1--WE reversed the old stagecoach
procedure and instead of changing
horses we changed drivers" Admiral
Nimitz remarked. 1T had the Japa-
nese crazy"
He praised the Army and Navy
teamwork throughout the Pacific
campaign, recalling that Army Off
GERS served on his staff and naval
officers served on Gen. MacArthur's
staff to translate directives from
Washington into effective battle

bargaining before or during the

IF you want higher wages then
you have to have higher prices" Mr.
Wilson told Senators.
Senator Ellender wanted. to know
how much GIN autos should rise ir
price to pay the 30 per cent wage
increase asked by the union.
Thirty per cent" Mr.. Wilson re-
piled.
Several Senators questioned this
but Mr.. Wilson insisted that the
price-wage question is tied in with
that of imitation. He added that
both labor and management had
learned to lean too heavily on the
Government during the war.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive
of Wisconsin pointed out there had
been a great hue and cry" for Con-
gress to pass a law" because OF
strikes and asked Mr.. Wilson about
this.
TO pass law to make people
work is like the prohibition attempt
to try and keep people from getting
drunk" Mr.. Wilson said. 1T won't

Lashes at Vandenberg.
The committee heard Mr.. Thomas
objections to the fact-f1nding bill

page statement when it developed
into bitter attack on Senator Van
denberg. Republican, of Michigan.
Mr.. Thomas had distributed copies
OF his statement to committeeman
and reporters. 1t said that Vanden-
berg carried the GIN torch" and
helped lay trap into which Presi-
dent Truman has stepped"
The trap" Mr.. Thomas alleged
was Senator Vandenberg's propose
that the President call labor man.

the Senator knew that the automo-
pile industry wanted the labor man.

dustry, he added, made sure that
no agreement would be reached, ano
that there would be legislation pro-
posed by Mr.. Truman if no agree
ment were reached"
Mr.. Thomas eontended that the
proposed fact finding bill was the
result.
The labor leader had developed
only part of this argument, but had
made other derogatory references to
oentor Vandenberg, when the COM
mittee members stopped him in the
middle of his third page. Senator
Morse made the first remonstrance
calling the testimony irrelevant, and
Senators Donnell, Republican. OF
Missouri; Smith, Republican, of New
Jersey, and Taft, Republican, of Ohio
quickly joined IN the protest.
Chairman Murray finally ordered
Mr.. Thomas to cease his attack ION

Clark Warns Leaders
OF Labor, Industry
To End Tug Of War
BY the Associated Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26.-At-
torney General CLARK last night
warned the big men" of labor and
business to quit this tug of war for
power"
They have too much power now
Mr.. Clark said In speech at the
annual meeting of the Indiana Bar
Association. They must come for
ward in the interest of America and
settle their differences. Otherwise
your Government will have to step
in-e-and when 1t steps in, it will not
pc wearing patent leather slippers,

Earlier in the day, at press con-
ference, Mr.. Clark promised that the
Justice Department would empha-
size antitrust and tax evasion prose-
cptions and "be as tough as Fed
elal law will permit" in dealing with
adult criminals.
Silent on CIO Decision.
He refused to comment, however
on yesterdays decision of the CIO
PackinghouSe Workers Union re-
fusal to go back to work after
seizure of strikebound meat plans by
the Government.
But he declared that current
strikes were resulting in too much
Kicking around of the public" and
aided that you can be sure that
your Government will put an end to
that"
In his speech he said, however,
that disputes cannot be settled with
a stroke of the pen, because we have
never given power like that to any,
ones pen, and we never shall"
He warned against coercive legis-
lation, declaring that labor restraints
would lead to business restraints.
He urged extension of the price con-
troll act as a means of controlling
imitation, and he asked for public
support to President Truman's fact
finding proposal for labor disputes.
Urges British Loan Approval.
Mr.. Clark also asserted that the
recent loan agreement with Britain
was necessary to insure adequate
foreign markets for American ex-
ports. and urged it's approval by
Congress.
In his press conference, the At
torney General said he planned con-
tlnued war on monopolies without
making the campaign witch hunt
or a fishing expedition" He pro-
missed criminal prosecutions agains
price-fixing consipracies and war
time proflteers who have evaded
their full tax responsibilities.
The Justice Department. Mr.. Clark
declared, will also watch sales of
surplus war commodities-to encour-
age business competition and to
make sure the veteran gets his pri-
ority.

Lewis Return Hailed
|By AFL Leaders as
Bad Omen for Clio
ny the Associated pres..

MIAMI, Fla. Jan. 26.-Return of
John l.. Lewis to the American
Federation Of Labor was regarded
by AFL leaders today as good for
them, but bad for the CIO.
Mr.. Lewis left the AFL 10 years
ago in the row over his formation
of the Committee for Industrial
Organization. In 1912, he quit the
CLIO, and yesterday he completed
the circuit by taking his United
Mine Workers back to the parent
federation. He paid dues for 600, :
coo members.
Mr.. Lewis was welcomed back to
the federation at the midwinter
session of the Executive Council
yesterday. He was given the va
cancy on the 15-man council and
was appointed 18th vice president
One of the AFL's most influen-
tial leaders, who was not always a
friend of the miners boss, said his
return to the federation probably
lis going to be very helpful"
Sees Others Following.
He suggested there were "still
quite a few CLIO union members
who have a feeling of respect for
Mr.. Lewis and might follow him
back to the AFL."
Another top ALF leader remarked
Lookout, CIO."
A third AFL leader, one of the
most far-sighted on the Executive
Council. suggested that Mr.. Lewis
eventually might become head OF
the federation, succeeding to the
post now held by William Green.
The federation will hold its first
convention in two years In Chicago
next October.
En- route here to accept the seat
formally, Mr.. Lewis declared in Mo-
bile last night that reaffiliation OF
the UNIV with the AFL was "a
step OF major magnitude with far
reaching consequences to labor and
the country"
He said the decision to reaffiliate
was obviously well considered and
reached after much consideration at
conferences from time to time with
officers of the AFL."
Green to Keep Helm.
| Mr.. Green said he would continue
at the helm of the federation, de-
spite reports that Mr.. Lewis re-
turn would signal the end of his
presidency.
| Mr.. Green said the jurisdictional
problems which might be created by
| the addition of Mr.. Lewis catch-all
District so would be handled by the
council. That was one big reason
why Mr.. Lewis wanted seat on the
council as a condition to returning
to the federation.
| Mr. Green said the Progressive
Miners of America, which was given
a charter in the AFL when the
UNIV left the federation in 1896
will continue to represent the work
ers in territories it now dominates
The status quo will be maintained
| he added.
1t was learned here that another
union-the brewery workers-which
left the AFL recently in a jurisdic-
tional battle with the teamsters
probably will return to the fold be-
fore the council adjourns on Feb
ruary l. The union had a bitter
contest with Daniel j. Tobin's team
sters and walked out of the AFL as
result.
Details on the return of the brew.
cry workers were withheld for the
time being because of the sudden
developments on Mr.. Lewis United

any such recommended increases
was extremely important; this is
the written assurance we wanted fol-
lowing previous verbal assurances.
Action of the CIO packinghouse
workers was reminiscent of John L.
Lewis circumvention of the Smith
Connally Act, which was put on the
statute books in 1943 to provide a
means for preventing coal strikes.
Hard-coal miners stayed of their
jobs for more than two weeks last
spring after the Government hao
seized the anthracite mines in an
effort to end the strike. The Gov
ernment investigated, but found
no evidence of a violation of the
law. Mr.. Lewis had pulled out
the miners in support of his wage
demands.
Critical Of Telegram.
Federal labor officials, discussing
the refusal of the CIO members to
resume work, were critical of a tele-
gram dispatched to the striking
unions earlier yesterday by Mr.. An
derson. Nearly half of the message
outlined the penalties that could be
invoked against strikers under the
Smith Connally Act. 1t was deliv-
cred at time when conciliators
were trying desperately to persuade
the CIO to comply with seizure or
ders.
The Government seizure was a
token action" and picketing by
CIo strikers in many plants con-
tinued early today. The strike
strategy committee for the Chicago
district, locale of the worlds largest
stockyards, said "our picket lines
stay up regardless of the seizure"
No disturbances were reported in
the morning hours as the union held
firm to its decision to keep its mem
bers on strike.
The unions Wage Policy Com
mittee termed the Presidents seiz-
ure order "a complete double-cross, y
Mr.. Truman was charged by the
union officials with engaging In a

Gayle G. Armstrong, Government
operator of the plants. met with
representatives of II packing COM
panies before the seizure hour.
He said they agreed to cooperate
with Federal control and he desig-
mated the president of each COM
pany as his agent for the Govern
ment during it's control. They were
instructed to appoint manager for
each plant or facility as a Govern
ment representative. Similar meet
ings were planned today by Mr.
Armstrong with officials of eight
other packing companies involved
in the wage dispute.
The managers were directed to
maintain all terms and conditions
of employment, including hours of
work and wages in effect when the
strike started.

on strike, said: Our job is to get
