VA, 70 Years Hence,
Study Group Formed
By Gen. Eisenhower

What kindof war might the United
States Army BE called upon to fight
- years hence?
The answer TO this question, in I
period of unprecedented scientific
discovery. can best be explored by
men whose minds are completely
freed from immediate problems.
This was the reasoning OF Gen.
pWight Eisenhower yesterday in an
bouncing the formation Of an "ad-
vance study group OF several young
officers with .brains and aptitude"
and q mission which breaks sharply
with tradition.
Not even the Chief of Staff, Gen.
Eisenhower told press conference
In the Pentagon, can give the group
instructions, once they get started.
He personally Is coaching the men
on the right mental attitude to
approach their long-range task.
Initial Group at Work.
The initial group Of three bright
young Officers" the senior OF which
Is 4 colonel of about 40, and the
Junior around "a, already is at work.
Gen. Eisenhower expects to add a
fourth officer to allow continuous
changes In membership.
"Ws don't want the group to get
50 enamoured with its own thinking
1t will become reactionary," the gen.
eral explained.
The chief OF staff believes the
Buck Rogers" explorers will work
most effectively II allowed to remain
anonymous to avoid embarrassing
questions about push button wars,
atomic rockets" and the like.
The general said the idea OF the
advance study group originated with
a physicist and educator. The f1rst
concern OF the members will be the
question, "What will science do to
the face OF warfare some 20 years
from now?'
At time when only beginning
has been made in the fields of atomic
energy, electronics and new pro-
pulsion units, Gen. Eisenhower said,
I'VE feel as If we are in 3 rowboat
rocking In midocean, and in need OF
some sort of star on which to fix our
future course"
No Expensive Equipment.
I'VE should not load ourselves
with expensive equipment soon to
become obsolete" he declared.
That might break the economy of
the country we must defend. Our
economic health is one of the most
vital elements of national defense"
The new group will undertake to
project its plans at least 20 years
into the future and therefore should
mot be cluttered up with our inn
mediate problems" Gen. Eisenhower
said. He added that, throughout
the Army, he has found men gravely
concerned over the possibility that
this country might fall behind in
research and development and make
the old mistake of being forced into
another war with the weapons Of
the last war. .....=
A sunncient air force for immedi-
ate retaliation in case Of attack,
the General continued, must be
maintained, along with technical
training, an effective intelligence,
and long-range research and de-
velopment, even at cost to other
services.

TRADE:
Modify Program,

Seeking to soften Republican op-
position to the administrations for
eign trade program. President Tru-
man issued an order sharply modi-
flying reciprocal trade agreements.
Acting after consultations with
Republican Senators Vandenberg
(Mich.) and Millikin (Colo.), Mr..
Truman directed that hereafter re-
ciprocal agreements contain escape
clauses permitting the President to
modify or eliminate low tariff con-
cessions that jeopardize an Ameri-
can industry.
Agreements also will embody a
"most favored nation" clause, CIV
ing the U. S. the same trade advan-
tages afforded other countries. At
present, some states have agree
ments with others which tend to
discriminate ag a inst American
trade.
Reiterating U. S. hopes for build
ing foundation for peace through
the free exchange of goods and
elevation of living standards, Mr..
Truman said that this country
looked forward to the forthcoming
world trade parley in Geneva, Swift
zerland. He stated that the U. S.
would negotiate for tariff reduc-
tons, removal of trade barriers and
elimination of discriminatory prac-
tees.

PALESTINE:
u. S.-British Rift

While diplomatic observers ex-
pected no major rift to develop be-
tween the U. S. and Britain over the
heated exchange on the Palestine
question, the outburst pointed up the
apparent cross-purposes at which the
two allies were working in the stra-
tegic Middle Eastern region with its
oil-laden lands.
Foreign Minister Bevin's charge
that President Truman had disrupt
ed delicate British negotiations for
settling the Palestine issue by de-
manding admission of 100000 Jews
into the Holy Land before the. 1916
congressional elections to get votes
was Immediately denied by the
White House. In prompt reply, it
was said that Mr.. Truman's decla-
ration merely reaffiirmed the U. S.
position on Palestine taken in the
summer of 1915.
Republican senators were quick to
rise to the Presidents defense.
Brewster (Rep., Me.) said that Bev-
in was trying to make Mr.. Truman
the 1'sacrificial' goat for Britain's
failure to work out an equitable
agreement between Jews and Arabs,
and Taft (Rep., o. pointed out that
Bevin had conveniently dropped his
proposal for partition of the Holy
Land in the face of stiff Arab oppo-
Sition..

GUARANTEED WAGE:
Gets ApprouaL

The guaranteed annual wage,
which promises to become one of
the major detectives of the Ameri-
can labor movement, received the
endorsement Of President Humans
reconversion advisory board.
Embodying an employers pledge
to provide definite amount of work
a year, the guaranteed wage has
been in effect in a number of plants,
with advocates declaring that it
tends to regularize production and
remove employees fear Of layoffs.
Opponents of the plan assert that it
would compel employers to pay out
wages during periods Of slack de-
mand for goods.
Because the guaranteed annual
wage is no cure-all for economic
fluctuations, the board said that it
should be correlated with other sta
bilizing factors, including social
security, minimum wages and tax
policies. All guaranteed wage
agreements should be worked out
through collie ctive bargaining
rather than imposed through ma
tional legislation, it was said.
Board members include Presi-
dents Edward A. O'Neal Of the
Farm Bure u; William Green,
ALL; Phil Murray, CLIO; and Eric
Johnston, Motion Pictures Produc-
ers and Distributors.

Have you given up hope Of be-

this sincere, unsolicited letter:
II am a registered nurse and know
what problem constipation is. especially
with patients deprived of their usual phyai-
cal activities. Where pills brought tenn
porary relief. eating KELLOGG'S ALL
BRAN regularly actually prevented irreeu-
larity in more cases than can mention.
Your product is great boon to our mod
ern age" Miss Katherine E. Walsh. Town
Hall. Newington. Conn.
Yes, eating ALL-BRAN regu-
larly often brings lasting relief
from constipation due to lack Of
bulk in the diet. For best results,
eat it for breakfast every day
and drink plenty of water. Try
KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN for 10
days! If by that time you are not
completely satisfied, send the
empty carton to the Kellogg Com
pany, Battle Creek, Michigan, and
get double your money back!

VOLCANIC:
Rampant in Sicily

Quietly slumbering since 1923,
when it wiped out the village Of Mas
cati, Mount Etna on the east coast
of Sicily kicked up again, with mott
en- lava gushing from a new crater
on its side threatening to bury sew
eral more small settlements.
Nine hundred feet wide, stream
of bubbling, molten lava edged into
the plain of Damusi at speed of
about 210 feet an hour, then broke
off into three forks, one pushing to-
ward the villages of Passo Pisciaro
and Cisterna.
AS natives fed in panic, govern
ment authorities rushed motor We
hicles to the area to evacuate the
homeless. Directors of the Etna OBJ
servatory asked Rome to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of air bombardment
of the countryside to divert the flow
of lava from villages and rich agri-
cultural areas.

Suspension Of Russian opposition
to a u. S. trusteeship over former
Japanese inundated islands in the
Pacific virtually assured U. N. ap-
prevail of the American proposal to
hold on to the territories for security
reasons.
Earlier the Russians had threat
ened to force this country into taking
unilateral action on the islands by
demanding that the trusteeship ques-
ton be postponed until formulation
of a Japanese peace treaty. While
Britain and Australia had Joined in
the Soviet opposition, it was con-
sidered that it would be compare
lively easy to adjust differences with
them. "a.
In making their about-face, the
Russians proclaimed that the u. S.
was entitled to the trusteeships be-
cause it had made incomparably
greater sacrifices than the other Al
lied countries in wrestling them from
Japanese control. Under the u. S.
proposal, the islands would be held
open for U. N. inspection, except for
strategic military installations that
may be closed for security purposes.
