tions Committees get together Mon
day for first look at the Presi-

income, Senator Bridges said.
Line on COP Ideas.
The budgetary groups recon-
mendatiohs may give Mr.. Truman
line on how big the Republican
leadership thinks the Army and
Navy ought to be, a question he
repeatedly has urged them to set
tie among themselves at an early
date.
Mr.. Truman was reported to have
told congressional leaders of both
parties at a White House confer
ence yesterday that the War Assets
Administration can hardly plan for
closing out war surpluses until it
knows about what the Army and
Navy will need.
Congress already has put per-
sonnel limit of 100000 on the
Army, as of next July l. The Navy's
personnel has been set at 100000
men and $4,000 officers, including
the Marine Corps. The sea arm re-
tains it's authorization for the man.
moth wartime outlay of vessels.
Chairman Gurney of the new
Senate Armed Services Committee
said he knows of no disposition
among Republicans to change the
personnel figures.
Just what the Army and Navy
think they need in the way of equip
ment and men will be discussed by
leaders of both services at a series
of meetings with the committee next
week, Senator Gurney said.

Negotiation of Alliance
Awaits New Government

LONDON, Jan. II P).-Negotia-
tions for the conclusion of a treaty
of alliance, already agreed on by
Britain and France, will be held up
until a new French Premier and
cabinet are named, it became ap-
parent today, as the people of both
countries awaited reaction from
Moscow.
There appeared to be no prospect,
however, of unusual delay in the ne
gotiations which an official an
nouncement promised "at the earli-
est possible moment"
Meanwhile, diplomatic channels
were expected to be utilized for
drafting the British French treaty
a fairly simple matter since the
British Russian and French Russian
treaties provide excellent working
models.
1t generally was expected in Lon
don that the new alliance would be
for a term of 20 years, the same as
the British Russian pact.

Merger Points
How Army and Navy
Settled Differences
By the Associated Press


Here are some of the aspects Of
merger on which the Army and
Navy differed and how they came
out in the agreed-on final plan:
Single Military Department.
The Army wanted all armed forces
to be set up as a single department
headed by a civilian of cabinet rank,
with the administration and super
vision of the services delegated so
far as possible to their respective
heads.
The Navy said it recognized the
need for greater integration not only
between the military departments,
but among all agencies of Govern
ment responsible for national Sc
curity. But it contended single
military department would fall short
of that objective.
Final form: The armed forces
Army, Navy and Air-organized un-
der a Secretary of National Defense,
with secretaries and military chiefs
for each. Cabinet status of three
secretaries yet to be determined.)
Aviation.
The Army proposed that the Air
Forces have control of all military
aviation other than ship, carrier and
water-based aircraft.
The Navy, worried about its land
based bombers and fighters, includ-
ing Marine aircraft, contended that
it could best judge its own aviation
needs.
Final form: The Army Air Forces
we're given Independent status, but
the Navy retained control of all Of
its aviation.

Navy Refused Army
Vital Information in
1945, Lawyer Charges
BY the Assoeioied Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. ia
former War Department special in
vestigator yesterday quoted Gen.
MacArthur's intelligence officer as
saying the Navy Withheld vital infor-
nation from the Army in the Pacific
theater as late as the spring OF 1915.
The declaration was made by
Henry Clausen, San Francisco at
torney, addressing a meeting spon-
sored by the San Francisco Life Un-
derwriters Association. Mr.. Clausen
was a member Of the Army's Pearl
Harbor Investigation Board and la
ter special investigator of the dis
aster for the Secretary of War.
Mr.. Clausen said he obtained
sworn affidavit from Maj. Gen. c. A.
Willoughby on May 8, 1945, in which
the intelligence chief charged the
Navy withheld information from
the Army at Honolulu and contrib
uted to the Pearl Harbor disaster.
"At this date (May 8, 1945), this
same system is in vogue and
the possibility of error or incomplete
selection (of information) is as evi-
dent now as it was in 1941,' Mr..
Clausen quoted the affidavit as say
ing.

Dividends to stockholders during
the peak wartime years have been
extremely conservative" continued
MIR. Merrill, land never more than
81 per share per year. Actually,
since 1884, after Capital Transit was
organized, the stockholders have
averaged a few cents more than 81
per share per year on 500 par value
stock"
Earnings above this have been
plowed back into new buses and
streetcars, the utility spokesman
continued. The company now has
on order 200 new buses, he added.
Payroll Up s3,25o,ooo.
Mr.. Merrill said the two ma ajor
factors back of the petition are
wages and expanding service Pay
rolls are up s3,25o,0o0 this year as a
result of wage contracts. He said
Sc cents of every dollar taken in
goes to labor costs. Two cents goes
to dividends.
"At the same time, and in the
face Of declining revenues" he said
I'VE have been adding streetcar and
bus miles"
The cost for every streetcar mile
| is 5772 cents and for every bus mile,
42.79 cents, he explained. He COM
pared the figures with the 41.27
cents per streetcar mile and 24.7a
cents per bus mile of 1889.

braska which would extend for Is
months. the period of time during
which industrial alcohol plants
would be permitted to manufacture
sugars and sirups simultaneously
with the production OF alcohol.
The present authority. which was
given in 1943 as wartime aid to
such plants, is due to expire Feb
ruary /. The Curtis bill would ex-
tend the authorization to April 80,
1948. Chairman Knutson explained
that the principal purpose OF this
proposed extension would be to on
able such plants to continue manu-
featuring sugars and sirups in con-
nection with their regular indus
trial alcohol production without the
necessity of constructing separate
buildings. as would be required If
the wartime measure expired.
The committee did not discuss
income tax reduction OF tariff Ques-
tons today, Mr.. Knutson said.
Neither did it give detailed CON-
sideration to the problem of postal
rates, other than to hear Post Office
Department spokesmen who urged
continuance of present rates.
Mr.. Knutson said the committee
will try to have the excise tax bill
passed under unanimous consent
without the necessity of having it
20 to the Rules Committee. He
added that he had no objection to
going through the customary COM
mittee procedure, but that in this
case he believed there might be gen.
eral agreement to expedite floor con-
alteration and early passage.

Army, Navy and Air Force, how
ever, would have the right to make
reports and recommendations di-
rect to the President after inform
ing the Defense Secretary of their
intentions.
Secretaries Forrestal and Pat
tersons agreed also that there should
be a council for national defense,
national security resources board
and Central Intelligence Agency
(the latter already has been Or
ganizedD. The Joint Chiefs of Staff
would be continued.
While the letter and proposed
draft did not expand the reference
to the council for national defense,
it apparently embraces the idea
of dovetailing the Nations foreign
and military policies.
A joint letter from Mr.. Patterson
and Mr.. Forrestal last spring-in
which they pointed up their agree
ments and disagreements-found
them on common ground in calling
for Council of Common Defense"
whose membership would include
the Secretary of State.
In addition to the national de-
fense council, the current compro-
mise plan proposes a war council" !"
consisting only of the Secretary for
National Defense and the Secretaries
and uniformed heads of the three
military services.
Would Map Broad Policies.
That body would be concerned
with matters of broad policy re-
lating to the armed forces" but ap..
parently not with such military
political matters as might involve
the agency including State Depart
ment representation.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff would be
made up of the military heads of the
three services and the Chief of Staff
to the President, and, subject to
the authority of the Secretary of
National Defense, would provide for
the strategic direction of the mill
tary forces of the United States;
formulate strategic plans; assign
logistics responsibilities to the serv-
ices and integrate military require
ments. -.
There also would be a full-time
joint staff to consist initially OF not
more than 100 officers to be made
up of equal numbers from each
of the three services. This joint
Staff, operating under a director,
would carry out directives q the
Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Early Hearing Promised.
Chairman Hoffman of the House
Expenditures Committee, which will
handle unification legislation, said
everything possible will be done
to give the bill IAN early hearing"
Other congressional comment in
cluded:
Chairman Andrews of the House
Armed Forces Committee: "Splen-
did. This provides for integration,
not merger as such, and it will make
for economy and efficiency in a
modern way"
Representative Cole, Republican,
of New York, a member of the
Armed Forces Committee who previ-
ously had opposed unification pro-
posals: IF this agreement is as I
understand it, it is the best news to
come out of Washington since VI

Taylor Thinks Brewster Errs.
Speaking of his call on Mr.. Tru-
man yesterday, Senator Taylor said:
HE told me that long before the
war ended he had said to James M.
Mead, Democrat, of New York, then
chairman of the War Investigating
Committee, that, as soon as the
japanese war ended, the affairs of
the committee should be wound up"
Senator Brewster told the Senate
Wednesday that when he mentioned
to the President recently that he
had become chairman of the special
committee, Mr.. Truman observed
that Senator Brewster and his col
leagues should know from expert
ence something of the problems they
would face.
Senator Taylor said today he be-
lieved Senator Brewster had mis-
taken a compliment by the Presi-
dent as an indication he favored an
extension of the committees life.
The committee will pass out of ex-
istence January 81, unless the Sen
ate orders it continued.
Brewster Sees Reckoning Field.
Chairman Brewster told reporters
the committee already has gathered
material that would make its earlier
investigations look like small po-
tatoes."
One member of the cabinet, Sen
ator Brewster said, has called to
suggest that the committee look into
renegotiation of war contracts.
1--WE want to look over the big fell
lows, the little fellows and many
dummy corporations, Senator
Brewster declared. You can be sure
that the things to come will make
the Garssons and similar exposes
seem unimportant."
He was. referring to last years
hearings into a group of Carson
munitions companies, whose war
time activities are also being studied
by a Federal grand jury.
The secret mobilization report
which Senator Brewster would like
to 60 into was prepared by Edward
B. StettiniuS, jr., while the steel ex-
ecutive was defense adviser to Mr..
Roosevelt before American entrance
into the war.

good deal of trouble putting on his
particular project.
Mr.. Bannister is head OF the
Bannister Motion Picture Service
located at IT'S Eleventh street NV.
Having two children Of his own,
he came to the conclusion some
time ago that it would be worth
while project to put on a series Of
free shows for youngsters in the
poorer neighborhoods during the
summer.
He reasoned that, If he were will
ing to supply the feature-length
films and shorts as well as the
projectors, screens and operators,
he wouldn't have much trouble get
ting someone to provide a hall or
vacant lot and the electricity. He
found, however, it isn't so easy to
give something away these days.
His offer Of 60 fsll-length shows
drew hardly nibble.
Because he was sure Washington s
children are not that well enter
tanned, the young colored veteran
kept the offer open. He interested
