Marine Corps outright or to divest
it of most of its vital functions.
In divesting the Marines of am
phibious functions we would be
making the same basic error which
was made by the British when they
reduced the Royal Marines to i'm
potency so that the Marines were
unable to make landings in Norway
and other places in support of fleet
action.
"(e) 1t permits, without prior
reference to Congress, the execu-
tive branch of the Government to
transfer vital naval aviation func-
tiCns to the Army Air Corps.
I'm transferring these vital naval
aviation functions to the Army Air
Corps we would be guilty of the
same mistake made by the British
when all air functions were con-
solidated in the Royal Air Force
This made possible the sinking of
HMSs Prince Of Wales and Repulse,
and rendered the British Naval Air
Arm so ineffective that the British
were forced to call on the United
States Navy for planes, equipment
and forces to combat the German
submarine menace in the Atlantic
Unbalances Organization.
"f) 1t permits the national de-
fense organization to become unbal-

Centralized preparation and
control OF the military budget would
make it possible to deny the equit-
able distribution of funds among
the different branches of the armed
services.
"(g) 1t violates sound admins
trative procedures in many respects.
1T deprives the Army and Navy
of representation in the cabinet.
It reduces the Secretary of War
and the Secretary of Navy to minor
positions In which they would be
concerned, apparently, only with
propaganda for their respective
arms, and places over them seven
other civilian officials. 1t contains
large number of parallel and con-
flicting lines of authority and ad-
judication.

Legislative power because it does
not set up adequate standards to
govern such transfers.
in our judgment, the Congress
will not approve a bill containing
the major defects listed above after
the members of the Congress be-
come fully aware of these defects.

added. And this seems to me a

In opposing any autonomy for

Board Head Approves.
The only argument for it, he told
the subcommittee, was that it would
put an end to periodic criticism of
the Commissioners when some
thing goes wrong with the Board of

Gen. Young said he was not par
ticularly concerned with criticism
of the Commissioners, since that
was inevitable anyway, but that
certainly this legislation would not
end that criticism. AS long as the
Commissioners retain financial con-
troll over the charitable and well
fare activities, he explained, the
Commissioners will be blamed if
too much is spent for certain activi-
ties and not enough for other wor-
thy causes.

(Cheng Pao likewise failed to
mention the truce at Tsinan and
asserted that 10000 Red troops,
in three columns, were driving

that Communist blockade forces

taries with the advice Of the mill
tary heads and then integrated
under civilian control, or will they
be prepared by military heads and
integrated by the Joint Chiefs OF
Staff with only nominal supervision
by single secretary?
a. Shall there be a separate de-
partment of air, and if so shall it
have control over all military air
craft or only part of military air
craft?
With respect to the points in
disagreement we are of the opinion
that the Congress of the United
States after mature study and de-
liberation will not approve:
"(a) A single Department of Com
mon Defense with single secre-
tary at its head
"(b) The placing of single mill
tary officer in supreme command of
all the armed forces.
"(c) Divesting the Marine Corps
OF its important function of main
tanning Fleet Marine Force to sup
port feet operations.
"(d Transferring the vital func-
tlons of naval aviation to the Army
Air Corps or to a separate Air Corps.
"(e) Removing from the Secretary
OF War and the Secretary of the
Navy the responsibility for initiating
the budget of their respective de-
partments and supporting these
budgets before the Congress.
I'VE realize that the Army Air
Force has achieved a high degree of
autonomy within the War Depart
ment. We realize further that for
numerous reasons, practical, psyche
logical and historical, the Army Air
Force will probably never become in
tegrated into the Army to the extent
that naval aviation has become inte-
grated into the Navy. We consider,
therefore, that in effecting a COM
promise on this point representa-
tlves of the Navy Department can
well be guided by the views of the
War Department with respect to the
separation of the Armys strategic
air arm from the Army.
ANY compromise which results
from a conference by the War and
Navy Departments which does not
embody most of the views of those
members of Congress who have
made study of the Importance of
sea-air power in our national de-
fense structure, and which in gen.
eral does not conform with the
views expressed in this letter would
not, in our opinion, be in the best
interests of the United States. We
believe further that bill which
does not support these views will
not receive the approval of the
Congress-
Assuring you these views are
presented in a sincere desire to be
helpful.
