IVA Begins Reducing
Ills Publicity 5faifs
From 267 10 100

The Veterans Administration al
ready has begun dismissing public
relations personnel in a move or
dered by the House Appropriations
Committee that will slash off 64
per cent of the agency's publicity
staff.
Veterans Administrator Bradley
was warned last month by Chair
man Taber's committee to make
every effort to eliminate excess per-
sonnel" and to cut his public rela-
tions staff to 100. It now numbers
I267.
VIII Drop RegionaI Office.
Under the plan, the Washington
regional Office public relations Of
flee will be cut out entirely, along
with four other Offices under juris-
diction of the branch headquarters
of Richmend.
The regional Offices are at Wash
ington, Roanoke, Winston Salem
N. c.; Huntington, w. Va, and Bal
timore. Each had one public re.
lations officer except Washington
which has been assigned two. II
the future, all public relations work
of the area will be consolidated al
the branch Office.
The order is contained in the same
deficiency appropriations bill which
is holding up checks to 2,780, ,000
veterans due today for benefits un-
der the CT Bill. While the bill is
still in Congress. Gen. Bradley al
ready has begun to comply with the
public relations provisions because
it was passed by the House and met
no objection in the Senate.
| Forty-two of the 267 public rela-
tions employees work in the WASH
ington central Office. The rest hold
jobs in branch and regional Offices
throughout the country.
Field Officeres to Lose.
Gen. Bradley's plan, it was
learned, calls for the central Office
staff to be reduced to 25. The field
offices will lose $50 men.
AS first step, the agency has
eliminated its field service, which
directed all activities outside the
Washington Office. A visual aid
service, which took motion and still
pictures and prepared exhibits for
public display, has been reduced and
transferred to the administrative
and contact service at the main
Office.
Offices that will remain in opera
ton here, under reduced staffs, in
clude the News Division and the
Radio Section. Each of the 13
branch offices. which formerly en-
ployed up to 20 public relations
men, will be limited to six. officials

tive May II. He will be succeeded,

Today And Tomorrow
BY WALTER LIPPMANN

Secretary Marshall has, l be.
lieve, made more progress at
Moscow than may appear. He has
done much to repair the deficien.
cies and to correct the errors OF
the European policy he inherited
- a thing which has to be done
before the conditions can exist fol-
a S e t fe m e n with the Soviet
Union. In measuring his work we
must, it SEEM to me. look first
at how far the British, the French,
and the Americans have succeeded
in co-ordinating and harmonizing
their ideas.
For until they are agreed about
the shape of the German and the
European settlement, no agree
ment with the Soviet Union is con-
ceivable. If any agreement is
reached with Stain before M a r
shall leaves Moscow, it will be be-
cause of, and more or less in pro-
portion to, the effectiveness of the
agreements reached among the
Western Allies.
The great error of our previous
policy, which had its roots in
President R~oosevelt's prejudices
about France, has been the notion
that a European peace could be
made without Europeans, that the
Big Three - none of them a Eu-
ropean power-could shape the
destiny of the Continent. They
were bound to disagree on how to
impose a Europeon peace, and
were doomed instead to quarrel
among themselves for the leader
ship and domination of Europe.
Not until Secretary Marshall
began to get a grip on our policy
which is naturally taking some
time-was anything done to cor
rect this error A year ago Mr..
Bevin made a faint : hearted at
tempt to reach an understanding
with France, which would h a v e
carried with it an understanding
with Belgium and the Neither
lands, but the political structure
of Germany and the indignation Of
the German economy into a Eu-
ropean system. Mr.. Bevin lacked
strong convictions of his own,
and got little encouragement from
Mr.. Byrnes. The scant attention
which MI. Byrnes was able to de-
vote to Germany and Europe was
confined almost exclusively to fol
lowing the advice of General Clay
who, with all his immense ability
and virture, has been so preoc
cupied with Germany that he has
never been able to interest him
self in Europe.
Therefore, when Mr.. Marshal
went to Moscow, the indispensable
preliminary preparation h a d moi
been done. He had to seek agree.
ments with Mr.. Molotov before il
had been settled as to what the
British, the Americans and the
French would agree to-if, Wher
and as Mr.. Molotov were willing
to agree to anything.
Under these conditions agree.
ment with Mr.. Molotov was incon'
ceivable. The disunity of the West
ern powers invited Soviet obstruc-
ton. Only if they were united
could there exist any compulsior
or any inducement for the Rus
SLAMS to agree.
For we may take it as certain

NATIONAL MAKES
q CENTS SHARE
President G. I. Baker Re-
ports March,, 1947
Earnings AT 20 Cents

The current trend is upward, G.
L. Baker, National Airlines presi-
dent, noted today in announcing
March earnings of STAT, O69, net
after taxes-equivalent to 20 cents
per share on common stock-with
a load factor of 1912.
The company has earned more
than a million and one-half dol
lars before taxes during the r.
month period ending March 81, he
said. Net profit after taxes for the
nine months of the fiscal year end
ing March 81, total!ed $549, 844,
equal to 70 cents per share. The
March profit was nearly five times
the net profit of $29, 857 for March
1916.
Baker said that these figures in
dictate that National, after consis-
tently showing profits during a
period when the air transportation
industry generally was experience
ing a slump, has excellent posi-
bilities of proportionately greater
earnings as the industry begins to
recover.
"Inasmuch as National has earn
ed reasonable profits when con-
ditions we're bad, as they have
been for the past several months,
it follows we should show greater
earnings as conditions improve"
Baker further noted.
Another major factor in Nation
ais future outlook is that the first
of a fleet of new Douglas DEG
transports is scheduled to be deliv-
cred in May. This new 320-mile-an-
hour, four-engine plane will reduce
flying time as much as one-third
over NAL routes-to less than
four hours between New York and
Mainland will carry So passen-
gers in living room comfort as
compared with IS on Nationals
present DC-4 Buccaneers. This is
an increase of approximately Is
per cent in passenger seating ca
pacity, at a saving of about one
third in operating time.

Something Of this sort, # l in

For one of the crucial features Of
