Joint Chiefs Oppose
Boiling Base Merger
with Naval Air Station
Report to ForrestoI Coils
Proposal Impractical
And UneconomicuI
By John A. Giles

Merger of Boiling Air Force
Base and AnacoStia Naval Air
Station would be both impracti-
cal and uneconomical. according
to a study just completed by the
Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The Joint Chiefs recommended to
Secretary of Defense Forrestal that
the two airfields, which border each
other. continue to be operated sep
arately by the Air Force and Navy,
it was learned today. Mr.. Forrestai
has taken no action on the recon-
mendation.
The report, based on a long study
of operations and facilities at the
two installations and the first of
such surveys of adjacent installa-
tons of the armed forces, states
that both airfields already are taxed
to capacity and that facilities are
being used to the best possible ad-
vantage.
The report, however, does state
that some additional surveys might
be made with the view of possible
joint use of fire-fighting equipment.
ships service and post exchange
facilities and one control tower at
night.
During the long congressional de-
bates on uniflcation Of the armed
services in 1947 there were numerous
references to the two airflelds as
being an outstanding example of
duplication of facilities which it
was hoped would be eliminated un-
der the ''Unification Act which final
ly was passed.
Merger of the two fields, the joint
chiefs have found, however, would
only bring about new top overall
command echelon and thus add to
the already high budgets Of the Air
Force and Navy.
The Joint Chiefs gave a detailed
report on landings and take-offs
at Boiling and Anacostia.
The Joint Chiefs report is the
elimination of a long series of
Investigations and conferences on
the two bases which began shortly
after the unification act became
effective in September, 1947, and
the Air Force thus became an in
dependent service.
A special joint Air Force-Navy
Committee, it also was learned. has
come up with possible solution to
the matter of training Air Force and
Navy airmen simultaneously and
also has dealt with various aspects
of technical training of the two
services.

Legion Chief Scores
Draft Deferments in
Armistiee Day Talk
100 Organizations Take
Port in Ceremonies al.
Tomb of Unknown Soldier

Before the Tomb of the Un-
known Soldier in Arlington Gem
etery, National Commander S.
Perry Brown of the American
Legion today charged that "the
draft is shot full of deferments'
and urged early congressional
approval of universal military
training.
The Legion commander was the
principal speaker at Armistice Day
ceremonies in which representatives
of more than 100 patriotic organiza-
tions placed floral tributes on the
Tomb of the Unknown Doughboy
who fell in the war to end all wars
30 years ago. Approximately 5000
persons participated in the cere-
monies.
The purposes of national defense
will not be served by picking in
dividuals from either the top or the
bottom of the manpower barrel, u
Mr.. Brown declared There must
be participation, not by the few
but by ALL"
Many Avoid Service.
Even If the current selective serv-
ice program could meet the Nation s
manpower needs, it would fail in
its purpose because of the many
opportunities afforded. young men
to avoid service, Mr.. Brown said
I'VE have only one reasonable and
realistic course before US Mr.
ne said. That is for the United
States to muster in full view of the
world sufficient active and reserve
military strength to convince one
and all that extinction must be the
price for breaking the peace
Fulfillment of this country's pledge
Ito defend free peoples against I'M
just acts of aggression Mr.. Brown
added, stands in serious jeopardy
for want of the minimum necessary
military resources to carry it
through"
Earlier, Air Force Secretary
Symington, Secretary of the Navy
Sullivan and Admiral Louis E: Den
field, chief of naval operations, is
sued Armistice Day statements en-
phasizing the need to keep America
strong to help maintain peace.
Mr.. Symington promised the full
support of the Air Force in an in
creasingly effective international Or
ganization" for world peace.
Patience and Humility Urged.
If it takes patience, let us be
patient: If it takes humility, let
us be humble; If it takes strength,
let us be strong" he advised.
Mr.. Sullivan said this country S
war dead deserve the best efforts
the American people can make for
the security of the Nation and the
preservation of civilization. Amer
ica, he said, must remain strong
as shield" for freedom loving
nations.
Without the victory celebrated 80
years ago, Acmiral Denf1eld said,
the world would have been turned
away permanently from the path of
freedom.

ceremonies at the Tomb of the

Defense Chiefs Appeal District Auto Dealers
For Armistice Day Aid Attack House Charge
To Chest Campaign OF Excessive Prices
Hearings to Begin Here
Monday; Complaints
Pour in, Probers Soy

Spokesman for the Washing
ton Automotive Trade Associa-
ton today branded as unfair
charges by a House subcommit-
tee that new car dealers here are
guilty of questionable trade
practices, but the committee
announced at the same time that
it had received "a flock" of new
complaints to back the charges.
Public hearings will be held Mon
day and Tuesday by a House Public
Works Subcommittee which has
made the inquiry into auto trade
practices. Many witnesses, includ-
ing buyers who have complained and
new car dealers as well will appear.
The latest round in the dispute
over auto dealers and buyers here
was fired yesterday whom Chairman
Macy in a statement for his sub
committee criticized two principal
trade practices: The undertaking
of used cars traded for new ones, and
dealers forcing buyers to take ac-
cessories they do not want.
To Deal With New Car Sales.
The hearings next week will be
confined to practices of new car
dealers, it was learned today, and
will not be directed at those who
handle used cars. The committees
staff investigators have made care
full inquiry, however, into used-car
transaction and have gathered a
mass of data. A later hearing may
be devoted to this subject.
Referring to the committees
charges, Earl o. Baker. president of
the Washington Automotive Trade
Association, said: Il do not believe
it's fair to say that the public has
been victimized In the purchase OF
equipment"

Sullivan and RoyoII Join
Forrestol in Pointing
To Need for USO Here

Armistice Day appeals for sup
port of the Red Feather -USO
campaign for s4,566,79 came
today from Defense Secretary
Forrestal, Army Secretary Royal
and Navy Secretary Sullivan.
To-day it is our opportunity to
remember not only the families who
are our neighborS whom We sustain
in adversitv through Red Feather
services, but also our obligations to
our sons, and our neighbors' sons
through generous support Of the
USO," Secretary Forrestal said.
The Secretary's message, issued in
response to a request of Chauncey
G Parker, general chairman of the
Community Chest Federation cam
paign, explained:
Here in Washington, on Armis-
tice Day, we are campaigning in the
name of United Service Organiza-
tions-in order that our servicemen
and women. particularly those who
will be drafted. may have again the
'hcme away from home which
played so useful and significant a
role in their lives from 1912 through
l946.
Asked USO ReactivatiOn.
AS Secretary of Defense, I have
asked for reactivation of the USO."
He pointed out the USO campaign
is only a part of the larger effort
to provide for those in need.
Let us make our Red Feather
USO contributions with these
thoughts in mind he concluded.
Let us do our share today, and
tomorrow and until the job is done. "
The campaign goal includes a
proposed ALLEGATION of $53,85 to the
national USO budget for l949 opera
tions. In addition, 104 Red Feather
agencies will benefit from the drive,
with $850,OO0 slated for the Fedora
tion's disqualification Fund for aid
to those unable to meet their med
ical and hospital bills without as
siStance.
Appeal BY Royal.
Secretary Royal declared that, as
citizens of the Nations first COM
munity, we cannot do less than our
best for our USO and our Red
Feather Services. Let's guarantee
success for this campaign"
His statement said that, on
Amistice Day ''it is highly proper
and most logical for all OF us to
think of the past.
However, to merely recall the
past is not sufficient: we must in
terpret bygone events in light OF a
possible future need, SO that when
contingencies arise we can meet
them intelligently and courageous
ly," he went on.
In our united campaign for USO
and Red Feather services we have
an opportunity to look ahead to
1949 and re-activation of many
USO clubs and centers. Many mem
bers of our armed forces, and par
ticularly our trainees, will be away
from home and friends for the first
time, and this is one way Of making
