project as an accomplished fact, Mr.
Noel said today.
There ought to be somewhere else
to put the Presidents political ap-
pointees and propagandists," Mr.
Noel said, in critieizillg the plan to-
day, on the ground it would be a
step toward turning the residence of
the Chief Executive into lust an
other Office building"
Mr.. Noel said he thought the
Maryland Historical Society would
back up the District Society on it's
opposition.
Senator Radcliffe, Democrat, of
Maryland, is president of the Mary
land Society, he recalled.
He SAID the District society had
opposed the Navy's plan to purchase
historic st. Johns College in An
napolis and that he felt sure the
Maryland society would join forces
in fighting the White House plan.
Senator Radcliffe was on a trip
to Baltimore today and could not be
reached for comment.
Yesterday several members of the
House, however, went ON record
against the plan. Representatives
Smith, Democrat, of Virginia; Taber,
Republican, of New York, and Fitch,
Republican. of Pennsylvania opposed
it while Representative Sheppard,
Democrat, of California was for the
expenditure of funds involved as
long as it went to help the President
in his work.
Mr.. Smith said he was joined by
many others who think it would
be terrible thing to destroy
historic landmark"
Mr.. Taber, a member of the House
Appropriations Committee, which
did not object to the expenditure,
said the committee was not in
formed of the plan and approved
the item under the assumption that
good judgment and sense would be
shown"
Mr.. Rich described the plan as
turning the White House into a
white elephant" and said presiden-
tial Office space requirements should
be met by reduction in the num-
Der OF Federal employees.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Before the
Paris Peace conference even got

situation came about. But the fact
is we have had a situation where
party lines meant little, and the
age-old principle of majority rule,
the theory on which congress, as
working body, is organized, has
been violated.
Outstanding example was the
rules committee. There were five
southerners anti administration
Democrats-on that committee, and
with Slaughter's help, they could
tie up the vote and tie up any legis-
lation Truman asked for.
Now maybe the fact that the ad-
ministration couldn't get its legis-
lation before congress, or couldn't
get it passed when it did, was a
good thing. l am not discussing
that. l merely say that what hap
pened is not a good thing for the
two-party system. And as the situ-
alton grew more acute, congress
wasn't a working body.
Let's take the testimony of a
thoroughly loyal Republican men,
ber of the committee and acting
minority leader, Representative
Michener of Michigan. If the DEM
ocrats retain control of the house,
Michener said, the absence of Rep
resentative Slaughter will permit
the rules committee to function the
way it was intended to function;
namely, the legislation of the
party in power will be sent to the
floor.
That didn't mean Michener want
ed the rival party's legislation
passed. 1t simply meant he knew
that Slaughter, teaming up with
the anti-administration Democrats
and the Republicans, was able to
tie the vote and stymie action.
And that isn't two-party govern
ment.

wounded 10 times as many men as
the artillery did. Undoubtedly the
bayonet claimed many.
By 1914-15, however, artillery
produced one-haf the wounded,
showing the rapid advance which,
in part, made experts forget the
rocket again.
Artillery, according to the old def
inition, is "group-served, mounted
firearms of caliber greater than
that of small arms" This definition
could easily be made to include
the firearms, shells, or bombs car
ried by planes, or contained in the
war-head of a rocket.
mention the effectiveness of
ARTILLERY" in the latter sense,
not to belittle the doughboy who
is really the "ultimo ratio" but be-
cause the projectile, either carried
in plane or by propulsion in
rocket, is what might be called the
defnitive weapon.
The point is we did not develop
the rocket in the Civil war because
we felt we had something better
(breech-loading rifed artillery
and small arms). And again the
rocket was set aside by a decision
arrived at before we engaged
actively in World War II when our
experts, both in the army and out
of it, including the great indus
trialists who could gauge our pro-
duction capacity, felt the airplane
was a superior weapon.
We did not entirely neglect study
and experimentation on the rock
ct during the war, however, and
now we are probably farther ad-
vanced in this type of artillery"
than any other nation. We also
have learned to project our "artil-
lery" by means of the "drone"
(pilotless airplane).

Is This the Army, Mr.. Jones?

In World War I when YMCA
and Red Cross canteens were
established right up into the zone
of the advance, and even nearer
the front, some of the "old timers"
of those days wrote to the editors
insisting. that the Civil war was won
on "Salt horse and likker" Il recall
that phrase in one of the letters)
and wewere just softening the boys.
Well, it didn't soften them too
soft for Chateau Thierry and the
Argonne.
Then came World War II, and
some of the veterans of the earlier
war raised their eyebrows at the
USO, turkey dinners at the front

Air Power Is Big Killer in War

This has been an aviation year.
The first peacetime year that
America has been acknowledged
as mistress of the air as well as
of the sea and the land. It has
been a time of reminiscence, of
recapitulation, as well as forecast
and foreshadowing.
I remember the interview I had
with a certain army official dur
ing the war. His inpatience,
smashing the ordinary rules of CEN
sorship, had revealed the secret
of the bazooka kept "confidentiap'
long after it was in use, and the
details of which Germans had long
since learned to their sorrow. (The
bazooka functions on the rocket
principle.) a
The officer pointed to an old
print on his wall. It was a picture
of American soldiers discharging
a rocket projectile in the War of
1912.
Why, then, if the rocket princi-
pie was known to us in those early
days, did we not develop it as the
Germans did, I asked. -.,
The reason the rocket was
neglected in the Civil war period,
/ was told, was because ordnance
experts were concentrating on
the development of the breech-
loading firearn, and the perfection
of rifiing - the making of spiralled
grooves inside the barrel which
gave the bullet or projectile "a
twisting movement, and kept it
from tunbling "head over heels"
This increased range and accu-
racy.

rif1eman rather than the artillery,
