On the face of 1t, the Job OF
stereotyper's apprentice in 1897
hardly seemed inviting. The young
ster was promised years OF hard
work at low pay before he could
expect to be marked competent at
the craft.
But Joseph Mason Brown decided
to try it. The prospect of hard work
didn't bother him. He already could
look back on a hitch in the Navy,
during which he served on the
frigate Portsmouth-one OF the old
wooden ships traditionally manned
by iron men.

his co-workers.

Nimifz in Letter Urges
Quick Senate Passage
.0f Service Merger Bill
By the Associated Press

Admiral Chester W. NiInitz, Chief
of Naval Operations, yesterday
urged early enactment" of legisla-
ton to unity the armed forces under
single Secretary of National De-
tense.
mot until it is enacted can the
military services function at full
efficiency in the solution OF the
many urgent problems which are
affected by it's enactment" he said.
Admiral Ninitz made the COM
ment in a letter to Chairman Cur
ney of the Senate Armed Services
Committee. Senator Quincy made
the letter public.
The Admiral said the bill, which
the committee approved IL to last
Wednesday, is an improvement over
that which the War and Navy De-
partments originally recommended
to Congress.
House Bill Begged Down.
While the Republican policy COM
mittee in the Senate has included
the bill on its list of legislation to
be enacted upon before the summer
recess. companion bill is begged
down in the House. Hearings are
still in recess.
Admiral Nimitz's letter to Senator
Quincy said in part:
II believe that the changes made
by the committee have improved
the bill. and that, to an even greater
extent than before. it will provide
a much-needed program for the fu-
ture security of the United States
and a structure within which the
United States Navy can continue
effectively to discharge its respon-
sibilities in connection with the
national security.
EARLY enactment OF this legisla-
ton is most desirable ~
The principal changes made in
the bill by the Senate committee
were revisions in language designed
to guarantee the future independ-
ence of the Marine Corps and of
naval aviation.
The measure provides for a single
secretary of national security, with
separate branches and undersecre-
taries for the Army, Navy and Air
Force.

Premier Of Romanid
I'm Belgrade Receives
Bid 10 Join SIay Bloc
By the Assoeioted Press

BELGRADE, Yugosiavia. June t.
Speeches and newspaper comment
with which Premier Petru Groza of
Romania was greeted on his arrival
here today on "a visit Of friendship
clearly indicated that he is receiving
a bid to bring Romania within the
framework of the "Slsv bloc"
For the first time in their history
there may be a possibility of CO.
operation economically, politically
and culturally between Yugosiavia
and Ronania. Racially and in Ian
guage, the two countries never be-
fore have found any basis for
friendly cooperation.
Both Marshal Tito, as host, and
Mr.. Groza today expressed desire to
bring their two governments into
what they called complete under
standing of the aims of the demo-
cratic peoples of the Danube Basin
and the Balkans"
Marshal Tito said:
ITO strengthen our relations, to
accomplish economic and political
cooperation means at the same
time to achieve stability and extend
the possibility of peaceful develop
ments to our people. 1t also means
great contribution for the
strengthening of peace in the world,
for the victory of peace over wal
mongers.'
Mr.. Groza replied with the OBJ
servations that 'imperialist tendon
cies have not yet disappeared" from
the world, but with the co-opera-
ton Of all peace-loving forces in
the world, realizati of these tend
encies may be prevented
I'VE do not desire only platonic
friendship with the peoples here,
he added, I'VE desire to create full
political, cultural and economic CO.
operation for the maintenance of
peace.
I'VE shall not seek our happiness
across the seas"
