Geiger Says Marines
Can't Be Abandoned

PEARL HARBOR, May 2 R.-
1t. Gen. Roy S. Geiger declared
yesterday that public opinion would
not permit abandonment of the
Marine Corps" in merging Ameri-
can military forces.
The commanding general of the
Pacific Fleet Marine forces, who re-
turned yesterday from five weeks
of conferences in Washington, said
the Marines had won permanent
place in the hearts of Americans
and that the grateful public would
oppose any move to dissolve the
corps.

Austin Says Forresta|
Alternative 10 Merger
Is deputy President
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Senator Austin, Republican, OF
Vermont said today Secretary OF
the Navy Forrestal appears to favor
a deputy President" as the alter
native Army-Navy merger.
Senator Austin, who helped two
Democratic colleagues write the
pending unification bill, told a re-
porter he considered MI. Forrestal's
suggestion most amazing" because
the deputy President could order
around all departments Of the Gov
ernment."
Mr.. Forrestal, outlining his OBJ
jections to the measure before a
closed session of the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee yesterday, said
the single Secretary Of Common De-
fense proposed would face an "im-
possible task.
Calls "Army Plan" Dangerous.
Instead he proposed that the
present War and Navy Departments
be retained and that necessary har-
mony be obtained BY director Of
common defense" who could CO.
ordinate War, Navy and State De-
partments and other Federal agen-
cies. p
Terming the bill the Army plan, /"
the cabinet officer described it as
Illogical" dangerous" and pro-
posal to merge now and organize
later"
He recalled that "one-man deci-
sions by Hitler" had brought defeat
of Germany and said the Army
proposal involved machinery so
complex, with so many cross-cur-
rents Of authority, and so many ILL
defined responsibilities as to make
1t impossible of operation"
Austin Invited to Appear.
Senator. Austin, as co-author of
the merger bill with Senators
Thomas, Democrat, of Utah and
Hill, Democrat, of Alabama, was in
vited to put in his own plug for the
measure before the Naval Commit
tee today.
He was not present to hear Mr..
Forrestals statement, which was
made public at the Navy Depart
ment.
The Naval Committee has shown
little sympathy with the merger
measure approved by a 13-to-2 Mill
tary Affairs Committee vote. It
asked to hold hearings on the bill
before it is sent to the Senate floor
for debate.
Senator Robertson, Republican, of.
Wyoming, a member of the naval
group, said he considered Secretary
Forrestal's testimony very fair and
constructive"

Loan Bill for Underuqe
D. G. Veterans Stoned

Benefits Of the CT Bills of Rights
now are extended to Washington's
veterans even If they are under 81.
President Truman late yesterday
signed into law the McCarran bill,
which permits underage veterans
and their spouses to sign papers for
loans to which they otherwise would
be entitled.
In addition, the bill widens the
field of loans which may be made
by building and loan associations,
permitting them, under certain con-
ditions, to make direct reduction

The wide-skirted long-sleeved sill
houette was probably best exhibited
by Metropolitan's own Lily Pons.
Her gown was black velvet, the full
skirt horizontally banded in pastel
satin. The so-called covered-up eff
feet was achieved with a high neck
line and long tight sleeves. The un-
pressed pleatS in the skirt contri-
buted to the rounded look and the
hustle effect at back added the final
touch of fulness.
Fur Wraps Popular
Fur evening wraps are more pop
ular than in many year. White
ermine leads the selection with
mink running a close second. The
shorter silhouetteS in ermine claim
particular attention inbloused
back jackets with full sleeves, in
hip-length boxy types and in capes.
Considered by many to be the
most exciting fur of the year is
white otter. which made its debut
recently at I. j. Fox, noted New
York furrier. Introduced as the first
and only coat to be made SO far Of
Siberian otter, it was three-quarter
length, with gracefully rounded bell
shaped sleeves. The wide shoulders,
full swinging back and gracefully
rounded lapels added the final notes
of perfection to this creation.
