Example of Teamwork
He was Mr.. McNeils counsel when
the latter was Navy fiscal director
going to the Navy Secretary's office
early this year. He had intended to
practice law here before Mr.. For
restal named him to his present post
"Unquestionably, universal mill
tary training is the No. item on
the military legislative program and
with Mr.. Only, we have made some
exhaustive studies on this subject,
Mr.. Leva said. "You see, that shows
what Mr.. Forrestal means when we
are q team not intended to work
along separate and distinct func-
tional lines"
Mr.. Leva does not plan staff OF
more than Is lawyers "at the very
most, because we will operate
through the existing legal staffs."
He is specifically charged with re-
viewing all legislation initiated b.
the military establishment, and Mr.
Forrestal has already made a move
to stop any public squabbling ovel
legislative matters by the three
services by issuing an order calling
on them to coordinate among them
selves or bring their differences tc
him.
Mr.. Leva also is counsel for the
Munitions and the Research ano
Development Boards, the War Coun-
Gil and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
There are no intermediate layers
of authority between Mr.. Forresta,
and the heads of several depart
ments, boards and agencies" Mi
Leva said.
I'VE are the hired hands around
here" he concluded.
Mr.. Mcneil lives at 1902 Irving
street NV; Mr.. OILY at 2722 n
street NV, and Mr.. Leva at 306s
Porter street NV.

Secretary Forrestol's S
Aides Versatile
Young Men
By John A. Giles

Roughly comparable to the late
President Roosevelt's assistants with
a passion for anonymity" are
three special aides to Secretary of
Defense Forrestal whose ages aver
age less than SO years.
Indeed, Mr.. Forrestal could have
been drawing on his own expert
ence as one of F. D. RS assistants
when he recommended to Congress
the creation of such posts, although
his main reason was to keep from
relegating the Secretaries of Army
and Navy (and, with the passage
of the unification act, the Air Force
to subordinate roles when they lost
their cabinet status.
The Army, Navy and Air Force
civilian chiefs must feel that there
is no one between them and the
Secretary of Defense" Mr.. Forres-
tai said. The foursome now repre-
sent the Nations No. l defense
team" as Mr.. Forrestal calls it.
On a Seven.Day Week
But the "home team" or brain
trusters" who must do much of Mr..
Forrestal's spade work are the
three $1O,OOO-a-year special assist
ants whose duties and offices are
certain to become far more far
reaching and powerful as the evo-
luton of unification becomes a
reality. Their day-to-day work is
roughly parallel to that OF the un-
dersecretaries and assistant secre-
taries of the ordinary Government
department.
None of the assistants has &C
tually known Mr.. Forrestal more
than four years. Like him, they
are now working seven days q week,
but are going slow in building the
small staff which he feels will be
necessary to use his tremendous
Evening star., 1947-11-23

"The framework Of the 1850 budg-
cts already is being developed, and
I am sure that we will be able
to iron out many Of the problems
that have cropped up in the past, "
Mr.. Mcneil said. "It requires in
dividual and exhaustive studies Of
all angles and there cannot be just
a mere waving of a wand to &C
complish this ordination"
To Keep Public Posted
Mr.. Mcneil would not predict
what. savings may be expected but
did point out that mere combina-
tions of services or activities do not
necessarily bring about economies.
"In some cases combinations will
bring about savings but in others 1t
merely adds routine and slows up
processes" he said. Time will have
to be the judge of that"
Mr.. Mcneil also heads Offices of
financial policy and procedure, Or
ganizational policy and standardiza-
ton, personnel military and civil
ian) policy, and administrative serv-
ices.
It will be his duty to develop
standard accounting, disbursing and
reporting procedures which will give
the taxpayer a better idea of just
what happens to his defense dollar.
The ideas of Mr.. Forrestal and
Mr.. Mcneil on the application of
business methods in government
probably will come in for some
down -to-earth treatment when Mr..
Mcneil gets around to studying the
organization patterns of the Army,
Navy and Air Force, many of which
have been used for generations and
which many war veteran has lam
basted as being archaic and waste
full.
A start already has been made on
a uniform military personnel policy
with the appointment of an inter-
service board to study the reserve
components of the three services,
and Mr. Mcneil is charged with the
development of a uniform civilian
personnel policy as well.
Two Harvard Men
Two brilliant young Harvard Law
School graduates are the other two
special assistants, and their work
is very closely related.
John Hallowell Only, 36, former
special assistant to Secretary of War
Patterson, Is secretary of the Ma
tons War Council and also is
charged with the important task of
maintaining liaison with the Ma
tional Security Council and the Ma

powers in unifying the defense es-
tablishment.
Perhaps the most important Of
the trio is Wilfred J. Mcneil, a
slightly graying Iowan OF medium
height and build. The Oldest of
the threesome at As years, Mr.. Nc
Neil is concerned with fiscal, budg-
etary and administrative matters.
A Navy seaman and later yeoman
in World War I, Mr.. Mcneil rose
to the rank of rear admiral in the
Naval Reserve in the last war and
became the Navy Department S
fiscal director.
In between wars, Mr.. Mcneil
found time to engage in banking
and the automobile business in
Iowa and Colorado and newspaper
circulation work in Des Moines
and Washington.
To Use Business Methods
Government ana business are
supposed to be different, but ac-
tually there Is not so much diff
ference in day-to-day operations
<as is generally believed" Mr.. Mcneil
said.
Mr.. Forrestal believes that ac-
cepted business practices can be
applied to the military as well as
elsewhere and we plan to make a
real effort to apply the best bust
ness practices in the Defense Es-
tablishment," he declared In a
lot of ways we are ahead of bust
ness, but in many other ways we
have a long way to go.
I'VE must remember that the
military departments expanded more
than 30 times their natural size
during the war years." he added
THE ordinary business would take
generations to accomplish compa-
rable expansions"
Efforts to improve the business
methods of the several departments
and boards of the defense estab-
lishment will occupy much of Mr.
McNeil's time and he will have an
opportunity to initiate his ideas
of economy and efficiency by vlr-
tue of his duty of passing on their
budgets and policies.
| He is charged with the co-ordi-
nation and supervision of the prep
aration of the military budgets be-
fore they are submitted to the Bu-
reau of the Budget. Next year S
Navy and Army-Air Force budgets
were submitted before Mr.. Forres-
tai took the oath of office, and the
first fully co-ordinated budgets will
be for the 1850 fiscal year.

Through the war he broadcast Al
lied propaganda to Bulgaria.
On the German defeat he rushed
home to take part in forming a
new government. But in 1945 he
was tipped off he was on the secret
list of the Communist-run police.
He fed to the American Embassy.
1t is Dimitrov's apartment which
now serves as headquarters for a
new peasant unions campaign.
Macy was Premier of Hungary
until last spring, when he slipped
out to Switzerland for an ostensible
vacation. Immediately the Hun
garian underground sought out the
Associated Press and requested that
a message be put out warning Macy
to stay away. Naturally this was
itself a story and was handled as
such. After a drama packed week
Nagy's entire family joined him, ard
they came to Washington.
-- DR.. Mack was a lawyer and
owned small farm. He spent the
war in a Yugoslav Jail, put there
by the Quisling government which
collaborated briefly with the Ger
mans. AS the war ended Mack
learned that Tito was no more
favorable to democratic leaders than
the Germans had been. Mack was
smuggled out through the Yugoslav
underground.
Gavrilovic was the first Yugoslav
Minister to Moscow. But after years
of watching the Muscovites he took
off for a holiday in London--and
didn't go back, either to Moscow
or to his home capital, Belgrade.
He came to Washington.

be required under the foreign aid
program, and why, as we'll as the
precise risks and sacrifices to be
undertaken. Whatever action Con-
gress may adopt, 1t will not be
entered upon blindly. Though
agreed as to the necessity of for
eign aid, the committee never for
a moment lost sight of projections
due to the domestic economy and
American taxpayer.
If the committees recommends
tions are followed the administrator
of the European recovery plan will
occupy one of the strategic posts
of civilization. All operational de-
cisions would be in his hands. Thus
far only two men have been pub
licly mentioned for the appoint
ment-Mr. La Toilette and Lewis
w. Douglas. Ambassador to Great
Britain.
Should La Toilette be named, the
American people could be assured Of
humane and efficient administra-
ton of ERP. 1t would also be real
istic and just, with constant eye
upon welfare at home.
And thereby would hang tale Of
irony. The chief of the greatest
peacetime enterprise Of interna-
tional collaboration ever undertaken
by the United States would be the
son and namesake of the late Sem
ator Robert M. La Toilette Of Wis

The dangerous underground road

in Washington in small middle
class apartment out on Connecticut
avenue.
There. in an ordinary living room
stand typewriter and desk loaded
with papers-all the weapons five
famous European refugees have right
now in a fight to turn back the tide
of communism which has engulfed
their home-lands.
Form Peasants Union
The five have banded together to
form the international Peasants
Union with the primary purpose of
returning representative govern
ment to Middle Europe.
The men are:
/. George M. Dimitrov, leader of
the Bulgarian Peasant Party.
2. Ferenc Macy, leader of the
Hungarian Stockholders Party.
3. DR.. Vladko Mack. president of
the Croatian CYugoslav) Peasant
Party.
4. Milan Gavrilovic, president of
the Serbian Peasant Party. Like
Croatia, Serbia is part Of Yugo-
slavia)
S. Gregori N. Buzesti, member of
the Central Committee OF the Ro-
manian Peasant Party.
Dimitrov was flown to Italy in
1943 by the American Minister,
Maynard Darnes. Dimitrov says he
was just two jumps ahead OF the
secret police at the time and that
Barnes courageous aid saved his
life.
Gronically, the Communist Pre-
mier Of Bulgaria also is named
George Dimitrov. The two men
are not related and haven't met In
many years.)
Dimitrov is physician who de-
voted leisure time to political actiyi-
ties. He was one Of Middle Eu-
ropes most outspoken anti-Nazis,
and as the Germans moved east
he escaped TO the Middle East.

tional Security Resources Board,
which do not come under Mr.. For
restal's direction. and report directly
to the President.
Marx Leva, 80, one-time law clerk
to Justice Hugo Black, and one of
Mr.. Forrestal's assistants when he
was Secretary of the Navy, is the
legal aide who will have a great deal
to do with universal military train
ing and other important legislative
proposals.
Mr.. Only, mild-mannered, blond
and of slight stature, is native of
Brooklyn. He graduated from Har-
ward Law School in 1896 after fin
ishing Williams College. Under Mr..
Patterson, he was concerned with
labor relations, manpower and re-
lated matters, and from December
1916, to June, l947, was executive
secretary of the Presidents Comp
tom Advisory Commission on Uni
versal Training. He once practiced
law in New York.
"This is a brand-new type of or
ganization and there is nothing par
allel to it in Government" Mr..
Only said. For example, for the
first time the Joint Chiefs of staff
have been brought under a civilian
head of the military establishment.
Only a Co.ordinator
Therefore, we are feeling our
way slowly and building up small
staff of high-type individuals who
are interested in the work and plan
to make it their life careers" he said.
Mr.. Ohlys duties are the hardest
of the trio to describe for, as he
says, his work frequently invades
what might be termed the provinces
of the two other assistants. He is
charged with undertaking special
studies" for the Secretary and with
assisting him "in co-ordinating the
operations of his Office with the
overall national security activities. ."
Mr.. Only must insure that each
of the departments and boards of
the Defense ablishment, as we'll
as other interested Government de-
partments is Informed of inter-
relating action by any other group"
Mr.. Leva, a deep-voiced, black
haired Alabaman, graduated from
the University of Alabama before
attending Harvard, where he edited
the Harvard Law Review In 1910.
He was with the War Production
Board before going into the Navy
as an ensign in 1912. On an LIST,
he participated in the landing op-
erations in Sicily, Salerno. Anzio

for decades has sought to break ur
Middle Europe's large estates ano
parcel them out as small farms tc
the peasants.
Dimitrov explains:
ITO q European peasant small
farm means independence. AND
those peasants are like farmers any
where, great individualists. They
resent dictatorship in any form
whether Nazi, Fascist or Com
munist.
That's why we feel the peasant
unions are the best nucleus for the
anti-Communist campaign we in
tend to wage. We intend to meet
Communist propaganda wherever il
occurs. For every lie they broadcast
we will try to tell the truth"
The group needs money and hopes
to get it through donations from
anti-C Communists in all the democ-
racies-in particular from those
American citizens whose families
came from Middle Europe.
They would like to broadcast the
fresh news they get from the under
ground. They particularly want to
broadcast to Middle Europe.
Expect More Recruits
They have presented program
to the United Nations which they
hope will inspire at least the worlds
non Communist countries to help
them rid Middle Europe of its new
Communist governments.
Their q. N. program calls for an
international commission to go to
Middle Europe to set UP "caretaker
governments" which would take con-
troll of the police, the army and the
courts and organize free and secret
elections.
They ask that a U. N. tribunal
hear the cases of the men who have
been charged with treason by Com
munists. And they ask the U. N.
to refuse to accept Bulgaria, Ro-
mania and Hungary as members
until they have democratic govern
ments again.
