Cost of Disunity
to their task
Washington Post)


 In projecting necessary air strength the Con- gressional Aviation Policy Board forced to take separate figures of the Air Force and Navy and attempt to weld them into workable program It recommends alternative plans, calling for a combined tctal of 35O41 aircraft for mounting a prompt offensive, and the other calling for lesser number to withstand initial attack and provide what would be in essence a holding operation The total defense cost under the first plan would rise to 1872 billion dollars annually by 1853; under the second to 1542 billions In this connection the board touches what regard major defect in the present system of determining the military budget {" . amounts arbitrarily allocated by the Bureau of the Budget" which 'do not approximate the stated requirements of the services
 If increasing military expenditures are to be ac- cepted necessary for survival in the air age if las in this case) the existing expenditures are grievous burden the taxpayer, then there is par tcuar releVance in the boards estimate of material savings" through a unified plan. Indeed, the report specifically advocates that the military establishment submit a revised budget by June 30 based on the achievement of unified plan, and moreover that there be annual determination of budget needs in overall rather than piecemeal terms Among many other excellent observations civil aviation and Government organization, the Congressional Aviation Policy Board merits especial praise for the penetrating and nonpoltcal fashion in which it has pointed up the cost of disunity.

NEBRASKA TEST

Nebraska adds steadily to it's unique features. Not only is it the only State with a unicameral Iegislature It is also the only Sate-so far as Is now known whose Republican voters will have chance to mark ballots for Sen Arthur H. Vendenberg Nebraska is one those States in which the permission of candidate is not required as prerequisite for filing Of his name in the presidential preference primary.
 So it is that Nebraska Republicans will have galaxy of COP stars from which to choose. It now appears that Dewey Taft Vandenberg, Stassen, Mar tin Warren Saltonsta and MacArthur will be on the ballot when Nebraskans go to the polls April IS
 That seems to nearly everybody who has been under discussion-and who are not very extensively discussed The system works to the dis advanage of some potential candidates, of course It is doubtless Of benefit to Stassen who has strong following in that part of the country generally ana who is making active campaign.
 It probably is detrimental to the prospects of some like Warren, Vandenberg and Saltonstall, who are not actively seeking Nebraska votes but who would make effective campaigns if nominated The net result of such preference poll is to give little comes cut on top and also to that of any other who gets a much stronger vote than was anticipated
 An election in Nebraska would tell the country very little for the State is heavily Republican as to be no barometer at all But the outcome of Republican primary there ought to give fair clue to the relative strength of several contenders for the COP nominations clue at least to their strength in the agricultural States of the West This is doubly true since the choice is wide
 But it does not follow that the lowest three or

man of Alabama mad suggested that the Committee take Up the recommendation of Senator Ralph Flanders, Vermont Republican. These were almost identical to Me Carthy's recommendation, except for two glaring exceptions: Fland- CTS proposed building 500,000 units under a four-year public housing program also farm housing on a large scale.
 Mccarthy protested that these issues were too controversial and should be presented in separate tills. Seeing the scales tipped against him, he urged the vote be delayed until Congressman Frank Sundstrom of New Jersey Con- gressman Wright Patman of Texas, and Senator Harry Cain of Wash ington were present.
 This touched OH the fireworks.
 Tt looks snorted San Diego's Congressman Charles Fletcher, who was elected by the California real estate lobby, like some unfair shilly-shallying."
 If there is any shilly -shally- ing" snapped Sparkman, i've learn ed it from you at the first meet ing. Only this time we have more men to shilly-shally."
 Mccarthy then threatened to discuss suggested changes in the staff report'-s2 of them alto gether-which brought an immed- fate charge from Senator Tobey of filibustering.
 This is just an obvious at tempt" he fumed, to put off vot- ing today!"
 T want to know" demanded Alabama's Congressman Albert Rains. If you are a one-man fili- buster"
 T intend to talk until Pat man and Sundstrom show up," shot back Mccarthy.
 Tt won't do you any good to wait for Patman,' snapped Rains. Hes on our side"
 We are all adults" soothed Mccarthy. Let's be sensible about this.'
