THIS week evidenced an event
of great historic interest to All
Americans when the unification IF
the Armed Forces under a single
Secretary of Defense, enacted by
the 8Oth Congress and incorpo-
rated in Public Law 253, went into
effect. Under the new set-up
James V. Forrestal is Secretary OF
Defense. AS yet an Undersecre-
tary has not been selected. 1t also
means that one of the oldest ad-
ministrations Of our government
the War Department is a
thing of the past. Kenneth c.
Royal, who was Secretary of War
until this change took place, has
lost position in the Presidents s
Cabinet. He is now Secretary of
the Department of the Army,
while John L. Sullivan has taken
over as Secretary of the Depart

Symington became Secretary of
the new Department of the Air
Force, making three separate CO.
equal departments under one Cab

Force announced separation plan
to disentangle the two services
within the next two years. The
independent Air Force will, how
ever, continue to have Army sup
ply, medical and chaplain units

FROM CONGRESSMAN
BOTTOMS OFFICE
BY Congressman Frances ?. Bolton-

that Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, increasing his rank from sixth
in line of precedence to third.
This is the first time that a newly
created portfolio in the Cabinet
has taken precedent over any
earlier established office. In the
past a new Cabinet post has al
ways been placed at the end of the
line. Secretaries of the various
Forces are now listed as being
below members of the House
Representatives according to pro-
tocol, their order being Army,
Navy and Air Forces. However,
should Mr.. Royal resign his sue
cessor will be placed below Mr..
Symington and on through the
three until they arrive back at the
original rating SO as to insure the
three department secretaries are
recognized as being on an equal
basis. When an Undersecretary of
Defense is selected the undersecre-
taries of the three departmnts will
rank below him.
EROM the Cleveland World
l. Trade Organization comes ad-
vices that Cleveland's world trade,
including direct and indirect ex-
ports and all direct imports, will
exceed $435 millions in the cur
rent year. Although Cleveland
world trade is now enjoying a
boom period, efforts are underway
to increase the present volume by
encouraging businessmen not pres
emily participating and by giving
all possible publicity tc Cleveland
made products and firms.
THE U. S. Department of Com
L merce is now preparing his
tory of the United States steel
industry from it's inception. The
report has been in preparation for
some time, but is not expected to
be completed until the first of
the year.
A THOUGH the War Assets Ad-
a ministration's disposal of sur
plus war plants have now reached
the halfway mark, efforts to
further streamline and speed op-
erations continue. In the case of
facilities built by ,the Government
as additions to existing privately
owned factories the WAA has set
up new sales organization fea-
turing sale by direct negotiation
rather than by competitive bid
ding. There is also contemplated
a plan to use local advisory coun-
ellis composed of local bankers,
realtors, insurance men and ap-
praisers and real estate brokers
where property has proved diff
cult to market. Over half of the
surplus real property involved has
been sold or leased to date. How
ever, some three billion in the
terms of cost still await disposal.
"News from Sweden" conveys
an interesting statement by Prime
Minister Tage Erlander. It is to
the effect that the over anticipated
strain on Sweden's currency re-
serves ''is largely due to the fact
that import deliveries under con-
tracts already made have been
permitted" The blame is attrib-
uted not to imports Of non-essen-
tials but to imports of vital raw
materials the country needs. As
result import restrictions, in
cluding the restrictions on ma
chinery for investment purposes,
will be made more rigorous.
