Gen. Collins said. Among benefits
he said a 20 per cent saving in man
power could be achieved under the
merger.
Gen. Anderson favored unification
under a civilian head. Unification
does not mean the merging of the
Army, Navy and Air Corps, he con-
tinued, citing the success of unified
command in the European invasion.
Former Assistant Secretary of the
Navy H. Struve Hensel generally

Unmuzzling of naval officers in eX-

VFW spokesmen today refused to
elaborate on the decision, declaring
the final wording of the resolution

said the gist of the VFW's attitude
was that naval officers be given the
same freedom to talk about service
unification that Army officers have.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-Foreign
Secretary Bevin, Britain's treaty
negotiator and part time United
Nations spokesman, is optimistic
over the chances for friendship
and cooperation between great
powers" which he terms 1.-The
surest basis on which to build
peace"
Il believe we have entered the
frst stage of establishing concord
and harmony between great pow
ers," he told the people in a radio
speech last night, adding later:
Friendship and cooperation be-
tween great powers is the surest
basis on which to build peace for
all time" But he warned that

Mr.. Bevin declared that 'the. war
left two great powers preponderant
the United States of America and
Soviet Russia" with Great Britain
lying midway in geography and
way of life"
He said that the United States
''has shown willingness to play her
part to the full" in peace machinery

Union fully realized" at New York
that there was great desire for
complete understanding, and that
there is throughout the world a
readiness to cooperate with her and
see her develop in her own way, with
the recognition that others equally
have q right to their own way of

In outlining Britain's policy. he
answered critics within his own
party who, during his absence,
pushed the government to foreign
policy confidence vote, which it won.
To the criticism that that policy
was too close to that of the United
States and that British relations
with Russia were not close enough,
he said that Britain had "a mind
and purpose" of her own. did not
'tie herself to anybody" except

Avoid Partisanship
When Judging BiIbo,
Republicans Asked
BY the Associofed Press

Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, Of
Arkansas appealed today to his Re-
publican colleagues to cast aside
partisanship in the approaching
contest over Senator Bilbo, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi.
Senator Mcclellan emphasized to
a reporter that he hasn't decided
himself how to vote when the issue
reaches the floor, but added:
Il do not think that an effort
should be made to prevent any
Senator from taking his seat on a
basis of partisanship."
The Republican Steering Commit
tee has decided formally to try to
bar Senator Bilbo from his third
term.
Hearings by Two Committees.
Two Senate committees have held
public hearings on complaints that
Senator Bilbo proflted from his ef-
forts on behalf of war contractors
and other constituents and sought
to prevent Negroes from voting In
the Mississippi primary last sum-
| mer.
In view of his past service and
because the people OF his State re-
elected him." Senator Mcclellan
said, "the Senate must presume his
innocence of any wrongdoing and
his fitness to serve as Senator until
and unless the charges made
against him are sustained by con-
elusive evidence of his guilt beyond
any reasonable doubt"
Senator Bilbo, who has denied
all. insisted before he left to spend
Christmas at his dream house
near Poplarville, Miss, that he
would be vindicated.
Further hearings by the Senate
War Investigating Committee are
possible next week. but the campaign
investigating group has completed
its inquiry.
Thomas Predicts Vindication.
| Senator Thomas, Democrat. OF
Oklahoma, a member of that COM
mittee, predicted vote clearing
Senator Bilbo of the voting charges.

80 report would hold that it was
the Mississippi election system and
not Senator Bilbo which kept Ne
groes away from the polls.
