Gurney Sees Passage
OF Military Merger
Bill by Thursday
BY the Associosed Press

Republican leaders today claimed
certain Senate approval for the plan
to unity the Army, Navy and Air
Forces despite protests that it would
create a vast new military empire. -
Senator Gurney, Republican, of
South Dakota, floor manager for the
legislation, told reporter:
I'm certain we will pass it. Maybe
tomorrow, but certainly by Thurs
day."
Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the
Republican whip. agreed but added.
There may be some amendments. /"
Actual debate was suspended today
while the Senate considers other
matters. Senator Robertson, Repub-
lican, of wyoming told reporter
he will complete lengthy opposi-
ton speech tomorrow and press for
series of changes in the bill recon-
mended by the Armed Services Com
| mittee.
Claims Support for Changes.
Senator Robertson did not dispute
claims that the Senate will approve
the unification bill, but said he has
some definite Senate support" for
his amendments.
Senator Robertson told his COL
leagues yesterday that they ARE
building a new military empire
where none was needed, and in so
doing we are creating a F'ranken-
stein monster which may work to the
detriment rather than the enhance
ment of national security"
Senator Gurney, chairman of the
Armed Services Committee, and two
Senators who served in the Army
during World War II-Lodge, Re-
publican, of Massachusetts,, and
Knowland, Republican, of California
gave the bill strong backing before
and after Senator Robertson spoke.
Tracing the long controversy over
proposals to place the Army, Navy
and Air Forces under a single cab
met officer, Senator Quincy said the
measure "is fashioned in the light
of hard. costly experience gained IN
two great wars"
Predicts Big Savings.
1T will save money and men" he
said, adding that 1t is his belief the
dollar savings will be astonishingly
large"
Senator Lodge, who resigned his
Senate seat to serve as an Army
Ground Force officer during the war
said the horrors of any future war
with atomic and other new weapons
is my first reason for favoring uni
fication." He declared:
Il say with all the vigor and SIN
cerity Of which I am capable:
Without unincation we cannot even
begin to fight"
Senator Robertson argued that
the Army's General Staf1 lis foster
ing a program Of militarism, pro-
gram that utilizes the means by
which the German general stan en-
slaved a nation and almost de-
stroyed a civilization"

Pilot Finds Permit Needed
To Land on N. Y. Streets

NEW YORK. - A Bronx flier,
plotting a rented plane with a 90
year-old ballet dancer as a passen-
ger, made a forced landing in a
busy Manhattan thoroughfare be-
cause of engine trouble - and
promptly received a police sum-
mon for doing so without a permit.
The pilot, John M. Jewett, %, a
former 9th air force pilot, told po-
lice he had been cruising over Man
haitian and the Bronx for 20 minutes
when the engine began missing.
He said he dived in an unsuccess-
full attempt to eliminate the trouble
and, spotting a break in automobile
traffic on the Henry Hudson park
way, landed the craft on a grassy
strip in the center of the thorough
fare.
Neither Jewett nor his passenger,
Pauline Goddard of Manhattan, was
hurt.

Problems for
Doctors Listed
Prospects for Solving Them
Good ANA. Told as
Second Century Starts.

CHICAGO. - A spokesman TO,
American Medical association, OF
its Tooth anniversary, listed sever
major problems that medical sci
ence still must solve.
DR.. Morris Fishbein, editor of the
ANA. Journal, listed these sever
problems as the most importan'
ones facing the medical profession
l. Heart disease-more people die
from it than from any other single
disease.
2. Cancer-one in every eight per-
sons is likely to become a cancer
victim.
3. Virus diseases - including in
fantile paralysis and the common
cold.
4. Atomic radiations and their
effect on human beings and human
tissue.
5. High altitude and speed effects
on pilots.
g.. Degenerative diseases of the
nervous system.
z. Neuropsychiatric problems
raised "by our ~high-speed, high
tension environment"
Prospects Are Good.
Fishbein said the prospects for
solving the problems were good"
He said the progress of medical
science in the last so years was
greater than in all of the previous
history of man."
Because of the increasing speed
of the acquisition of medical knowl-
edge it is possible that we will make
more progress in the next so years
than the last" he predicted.
Fishbein said the ANA did not
claim credit for much of the medi-
cal advancement in the last 100
years, but that many achievements
were wholly creditable to the $50
citation.
Celebrate Centennial.
He cited the Annals war on pat
ent medicines, quackery, frauds
and low standards of professional
ethics as powerful factors in pro-
ducing a high quality of medical
service.
Its service to members of the pro-
fession through its publications and
maintenance of professional stand
ards is equal in Importance to its
service to the public, Fishbein de-
clared.
The ANA. was founded May S,
1847, by a handful of delegates to
the national medical convention in
Philadelphia. Today it has a mem
bership of more than 10000.
The association will celebrate the
centennial anniversary of its found
ing at its annual convention in At
lantic City. 1t is a non-profit group
with headquarters in Chicago.

Arctic Training
To Be Widened
Army to Focus Attention on
Potential Invasion Routes
Over Polar Caps.

WASHINGTON. - It's military at
tention focused on potential inva-
sion routes over the polar caps, the
army is planning a second winter of
arctic troop training. Arctic opera
ton of naval ships also is sched-
uled. Gen. Jacob l.. Devers, army
ground forces commander, said
that last winters maneuvers con-
WINGED him that new emphasis must
be placed on the use of "air trans
portable" foot soldiers in those
areas.
The army announced that ele-
ments of an infantry division and
troop carrier aircraft will Engage in
joint exercises in Alaska beginning
November l.
The base for the maneuvers will
be at Big Delta, Alaska, 100 miles
southeast of Fairbanks. Elements of
the transport aircraft will remain
at Anchorage, and from there will
engage in the troop movements.
Special Ships. for Navy.
The army's announcement fol-
lows a navy request to congress for
a construction program to include
both submarines and surface ships
especially equipped for duty in ice
packed arctic waters.
To start off that part of the pro-
gram, the navy proposes one sub
marine outfitted as an "arctic
picket boat" and a fast attack
transport capable of ice breaking
navigation.
The navy said the picket boat sub
marine could be used to detect air
plane movements and for other
secret functions. This suggested the
use of radar to extend the present
comparatively limited scope of any
land based radar aircraft warning
network that might be installed
along the Alaskan-C Canadian arctic
coast.
The Feasible Way.
Last winters experiments in
Alaska with two army ground task
forces-Frigid and Williwaw-were
followed by assertions from some
experts that there was no prospect
that infantry troops could be moved
by land in the congealing cold of the
arctic. The most feasible way is to
carry them by air, these experts
reported.
The troops assigned to next win
ter's operations are not parachute
but five standard infantry
rifle companies of the I'd division.
They will carry full field equipment
and supplies.
The rifle companies will be flown
70 Alaska at one month intervals be-
November l in airplanes of
he air tactical command. Upon
completion of training, each COM
'any will be flown back to Fort
Wash, headquarters of the
ID division. The exercises will run
o March l, 1913.
