Reserves
Continued From First Page

said, is that a reserve program
depends greatly on universal mill
tary training. What we're trying
to do right now is to get the basic
decisions made for reserve COM
ponents. We have to take first
things first
Gen. Parks said he thought it
would not have been possible to
adopt the Reserve provision imme-
diately after the war because per-
sonnel could not have handled ma
chinery to meet the tremendous
rate of discharges. At one point,
he said, 100000 men were dis
charged from the Army in, nine
month period In addition, he
added. there was the insistent pub
lie demand to get servicemen out
of uniform.
Brig. Gen. Arthur G. Trudeau of
the Army Personnel Division added
this point:
The Selective Service Act was
passed before the war, when it was
intended that men would serve only
for one year but would be available
for call to active outy at any time.
In l945,'' he declared, military
thinking was that this (Reserve)
provision was adopted to build up
a huge manpower pool before the
war" rather than as wartime
law While the provision was never
amended, he said officials also felt
"had done their fair share"
Navy Followed Same Policy.
Fleet Admiral Louis E. Denfeld,
who directed the rehabilitation
program, admitted that the Navy
followed the same policy OF dis
charging enlisted men after the war
He also referred to greatly speeded
discharge methods installed be
cause there was such cry to get
men home"
Both officers and enlisted men,
officials pointed out, were urged to
Join Reserve units after their dis
charge. but not transferred to them
arbitrarily.
In his statement, Col. Neblett said
the Reserve association has sub
mitted plan for national security
to Congress that was made neces-
sary because the admirals and gen.
erals of the top-level staff have been
impervious to new concepts OF pre-
paredness."
Top Staff Officers Criticized.
In an excerpt from an article ap-
pearing in the associations maga-
zine, he continued:
Our top-level wartime staff Of
ficers are tired. They are worn
out fighting a losing battle to save
the Army, Navy and Air Force in
the forms which they have known
them. The thought of any pos
sible change has been too much
for them
A for Air Force officer, Col.
Neblett urged formation of one all
inclusive military force, with abol-
ishment of the National Guard and
Reserve corps as separate services
and elimination of the volunteer
system of recruiting.
Instead, he said, citizens home
units should be organized in COM
munities, made up at first of World
War II veterans who quickly could
be placed, in units according to his
Interpretation of the Selective Serv-
ice Act Reserve provision.
Gradually, he said. the veterans
should be replaced by younger men
brought in through universal mill
tary training.
He said such a plan must be
adopted because present military
forces "as organized and planned
are not designed to fight the only
kind of war which we will ever
be called upon to fight. There is
no known defense to the atomic
bomb, the atomic cloud or to bac-

which they are exposed to flax and
machine gun fire from the ground.
The radius of the XB-45 is given
as ''over 800 miles" This compares
favorably with the range of the
heavy bomberS of Bit and B-24
type in the war but is far short OF
the ranges attained by the B-29s
and the newly designed B-36
The comparatively limited range
OF jet bomberS has given them a
spos in the tactical organization not
yet open to them in the strategic
bombing operations. In the latter
instance, ultralong range is required
to reach and destroy war plants and
other industries supporting a war
economy far behind front lines.
The Air Force announced yester-
day that during l947 it received II
new plane types, including the
XB-45, but in most cases deliveries
were confined to one or two expe-
rimental models" adding:
Although total orders for the II
new types constitute an air potential
of more than 1,150 planes. only one.
the Lockheed P-80B, has been pro-
duced in quantity. Deliveries of the
other Is types total less than 40
planes. Approximately 200 of the
speedy P-80Bs were delivered"
Spokesman discussing the an
nouncement explained that. with
limited funds a governing factor,
the effort has been to develop and
get ready for production new types
rather than to expend the bulk Of
funds on existing models moving
into obsolescence.
The P-80B jet fighter has greater
fire power and tougher resistance to
battle damage than the original
P-80 model, of which the Air Force
now has about $50 in operation.

SEATTLE VISITORS

Mayor Devin of Seattle, and his colleagues, Who spent the Fourth away from home n Alaska on trip in which they seeking out the stumbling blocks to better relations Seattle and Alaska, visited Juneau Saturday afternoon and evening on their way home
 Apparently they have been unable to find great many stumbling blocks. In Anchorage Times Editor Bob Atwood once a critic of Seattle put out the welcome mat for the visitors, and receptions In other cities good Aaskas governor, thought to have been another tough critic of Seattle had long visit with Mayor Devin in which they talked over ways in which friendly relations could be promoted.

 MT. Secretary, we are concern cd not about the on-the-record pol icy of the United States, but rath- CT by our long history of failing to implement our official state ments."
 Again Marshall said he saw no likelihood of any change in our policy but insisted that the United States could do nothing until the recommendations cf the United Ma tions Commission now in Palestine were filed Then we will come to grips with the problem ir the light of those recommendations, he said.
 Perhaps recalling that half his callers had opposed the Creek Turkish aid plan on the ground that it by-passed the United Ma tions Marshall added, I'm sure you gentlemen understand the im- portance of our taking no step which would be interpreted abroad as an affront to the United Ma tlons.'
 Assured by Murray, who had ar ranged the conference, that all agreed on that point, Marshall nod ced his head and said earnestly

Naive Denunciation
Cincinnati Enquirer)

tCDCllndUl EIquHtlJ
 President Truman has denounced the Communist coup in Hungary outrage, but what beyond that will he do about it? The Russians who instigated this coup just as they have supported the puppet regimes in Romania Bulgaria, Poland and Yugoslava, have done almost precisely they've pleased in Eastern and Central Europe since Yalta.
 It has become increasingly clear during the two years following the end of hostilities that Russia has no intention of playing ball with the so-caled Western Powers Stan. Hitler did, knows that Great Britain, France and the United States want nothing but peace and have intention of gong to war against him at present His tactic therefore IS to grab as much as he while the grabbing is good
 This technique of peaceful conquest is proving to be most effective What has just taken place in Hungary can almost easily occur in Austria, where disusonment over the failure of the occupation forces of the Western democracies to rehabllltate their country as a result of Russian obstruction would tend to lower the resistance of a naturally conservative population against a Com munist regime Whereas it is true that still have few thousand troops in Austria, also the British and French have, they would be pushover for the Russians in case of conflict Austria by way of Tyro and Vorarlberg borders Switzerland which already is Western Europe
 The fact is that the Russians have consistently outmaneuvered us. All brave words and naive denunciation are undoubtedly received with loud guffawS in the Kremlin

A FINE CELEBRATION

Juneaus 1947 Fourth of July celebration was credit to the community and to the civic leaders who devoted so much their time to seeing that It was the best celebration held in any town in Alaska.
 With the cooperation of the weather man for July and g. the people couldn't have asked for anything better The U S. Arnys air show was something that most Juneautes had never seen The fireworks olS- play lacked nothing the parade was really some thing
 To Mayor Waino Hendrckson and his lieutenants who worked like beavers make the big celebration possible the entire community gives vote of thanks Now that we've seen what we can do, let's plan on making next years even bigger ard better.

THE LADY FROM NEW YORK

Mississippi's rootin -tootin' Rep. John Rankin isn't having as much influence ove. Republican Congress men as last year, though some still look upon Rankin as their close friend and virtual leader. One eX- ception is efficient Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers, Massachusetts Re- publican. whose battles with Ran kin over Veterans Committee mat ters have been cloakroom gossip for years.
 Mrs. Rogers was sitting next to Mrs Katherine St. George, protegc of Congressman Hamilton Fish, when the House voted on an am endment by Rankin providing for immediate authorization for the Tombigbee Canal. a project dear to the Rankin heart.
 Congresswoman St George arose to support the amendment. which most Republicans opposed. It was defeated.
 Why do you vote Tor that Ran kin amendmOnt??" Mrs. Rogers ask ed her New York colleague when Mrs. St. George sat down.
 "Oh, he's such a nice man. re- piled the lady who replaced Ham Fish, apparently completely un- aware of the Rankin Rogers feud. Ycu know, he told me one day lCok just like his daughter

Secretary of State George Mar shall has already learned that not all members Of Congress are states men. Last week he learned that at least one member is no diplomat. even though a conscientious and valuable member of the House.
 Marshall vas visited by Senators Jim Murray of Montana, Lister Hill of Alabama, Glen Taylor of Idaho, Ed Johnson Of Colorado, Joe O'Mahoney of Wyoming, Claude Pepper of Florida, Frank Myers O. Pennsylvania, and blunt spoken Rep. Emmanuel Cener of New York the nondiplcmat.

HARRY G0ERING FLIES FROM MINN. TO VISIT
 SISTER IN HOSPITAL

Three Mini.esotans are enjoying completely spontaneous vacation trip to Alaska, and here's the way it came about: Harry Goering of
 Sherburn, Minn, upon receiving word that his sister, Mrs Charlie
 Peterson of Sitka was quite Ill ln i St. Ann's Hospital in Juneau, inn mediately began preparations to come north to see her, and to visit another sister, Mrs William Char teris, also of Sitka.
 Goering, who is a merchant in Sherburn, was telling another mer- chant and friend, Harold Gibbons. of his plan, and before either quite knew how it happened, Gibbons was making arrangements to leave with Goering.
 Then Gibbons, who had some last minute errands to take care of, asked Myron Landen, a banker friend. to look after some of the details. and much to Gibbons sur prise, Landen said he was afraid he wouldn't be there to do it be cause he guessed he would just go along to Alaska" with the other two However, Landen couldn't quite make it all the way with Goering and Gibbons, but had to wait over in Seattle for transportation, ar irving here by plane day later than his friends.
 The best part of the whole trip was when Goering found his sisters condition much improved by the time he arrived, and greatly re- 1 lieved, he and his friends went
 on over to Sitka to visit Mrs Charteris and family

CELLER CHAFES

It was at this point that Con- gressman Celler stepped in. Abrupt ly he asked
 MT. Secretary, are you familiar with the charges against the Mid dle East Desk of the State Depart ment in MT. Bartley Crums book Behind The Silken Curtain? That book charges the State Department with shocking duplicity in the con- duct o1 the Palestine affair, and makes the point that over a period of years every time a constructive and encouraging statement has been issued hy cur Government, Arab leaders have been quietly assured y the State Department that they need not take these statements seriously"
 T have not read MT. Crum's book" Marshall replied, but I can assure you that everything pertain ing to the State Department policy on this matter will cross my. desk will stand for no duplicity in the DepaItlnent-and that is something can do something about" i Marshall then suggested that Con- eress is not on the strongest pos sible ground in criticizing Britain for it's handling of the Palestine problem because no steps have yet been taken here to open our gates 10 any important number of dis placed persons from Europe.

plaining about t:le British. Marshall listened with interest but would not commit himself-as Pepper suggested that the whole problem be treated as one. The Florida Senator proposed that Mar shall take the lead in working out an international plan for immigra- tion of displaced persons, even proposing the numbers each coun- try should receive.
 When Marshall would not com init himself on this proposal, Celler exploded.
 T think it high time, MT. Secre- tary," he said, flor this country to record it's position on the Palestine question, and I think that any strong statement from you is bound to strengthen, rather than weaken, the United Nations I don't have to remind you that Russia has stated her position publicly, and I would like to see my country do likewise !"
 Celler then proceeded to com ment in detail on the Russian posi- tion, but could draw no comment from the Secretary of State. Mar shall ignored the remark and the conference broke up.

Liberty Ships
Washing UV.. 0sL)


 The difficulty that all experience in sub ordnating particular to our general interests IS illustrated in the of those management and labor interests the shipping irGustry which protesting against the release of 50 Liberty ships for service to Germany The idea MT. Hoovers MT. Hoover when he back from Germany last February recommended ways and means of getting more tood to Germany at less cost. One of those methods was to make use of the Liberty ships which after doing service in Japan waters. were deterioratlng Tn our harbors He suggested that they be manned by Ger man sailors and put the Atlantic run with food in bulk, as, for instance, the potatoes we had to destroy year possibly also wheat instead of flour On the trip the Liberty ships Lould serve as transports for homecoming soldiers
 The advantages of thio suggestion are not limited to the advantage of enabling to get larger quan- titles ,of food into Germany at less cost. Another advantage is that it would not call for additional American personnel third is that the German crews could be paid in marks instead of dollars thus saving us an estimated 40 million dollars annually in occupa ton expense for the British American zone in Ger many. Opposition to this suggestion strikes us as dog in -the-lnanger for shipping is now at a premium and in consequence no less of business or employment would be sustained by the shipping industry.
