Street boys, but liberal.

OLICCL OOJOJ OuI AANOA0As
We have today many advisory
bodies surrounding our President.
The National Security Council, for
instance, which was fathered' by
Mr.. Forrestal and which is re-
sponsible for causing President
Truman to default on his Pales-
tine pledges, is an Illustration of
this. Well, King Ahasuerus also
had these advisory bodies. You
remember the time when Vashti
refused to appear before the
boys, the roisterer ,Memucan,
suggested that she be liqui
dated and that forthwith a decree
be sent throughout the land that
all wives must obey their hus-
bands. 1t goes to show you how
wise it is for rulers to have adj
visory bodies.
Ahasuerus himself sounds to me
so real. If 1 didn't know that
he belonged to ancient times 1
would think that rather he was one
of us. Consider how he acts.
He is one of the best friends the
Jews have. Why, Mordecai on one
occasion even saves his life, and
he appreciates this act. He makes
a big parade of Mordecai for this
act of patriotic heroism upon the
part of the Jew, and yet a few
days later, when Hannah asks that
the Jews be exterminated, he &C.
quiesces in that, too.
Ahasuerus has no character. He
is spineless. It is these Ahasuer-
uses who are real dangers. The
Humans can never get far with
out them.

Hannah around Purim time. Yet
as much interest is Ahasuerus,
the king of Persia.
Hannah is a villain, outside and
inside, but no one calls Ahasuerus
a villain. Even Jews do not call
him a villain. The fact is every
body in Persia probably regarded
Ahasuerus as "a darn good fellow:
one of the boys" almost.
Take that party which he gave
for the people to exhibit the might
of his reign. believe the Book
of Esther says it lasted six months
= six months of feasting and
drinking for the people.
Further, the Book of Esther
says that no one was Compelled"
to drink. We may not under
stand that today, but it appears
that in those days at such func-
lions, certain quota, often of an
extreme character, was set = and
you had to lie under the table
whether you wanted to or not.
But not so did Ahasuerus rule.
He did not compel drinking. You

This ancient Talmudic legend
has the smack of real politik" and
I shouldn't be surprised if these
old legend makers didn't, in some
of these cases, come nearer to
apprising the fundamental truth
than did the professional histor-
ions. Just why Ahasuerus ap-
pointed Hannah to his post, the
Book of Esther does not tell us,
but there is one sentence which
suggests a reason. I refer to the
part where Hannah makes an
offer of large quantity of silver
to AhaSuerus The King does not
accept the gift. It probably wasn't
election time yet, but the offer
shows that Hannah was one of
the Wall Street boys of Persia,

partments but leave each DEPART
ment Secretary two Assistant Sec
retaries.
The committee also would repeal
the section of the law giving the
three department Secretaries the
right of appeal to the President and
to the Budget Director. The COM
mittee added that, so far as it can
ascertain, this right never has been
exercised.
Under the committee program,
also, the three Secretaries would be
subject to the direction and author
ity of the Secretary of Defense"
The Secretaries of the three services
now are members of the National
Security Council, but the committee
recommended that the Defense Sec
retary be the only military member
on the council.
The committee would remove the
legal limitations on the Secretarys
right to establish policies and pro-
grams and to exercise direction,
authority and control over the de-
partments and agencies.
Secretary Would Control Funds.
= The Secretary also would be given
authority to supervise expenditures
and control of requests for congress
sional authorizations of funds. The
section of the act reserving to the
departments the powers and duties
not specifically conferred on the
Defense Secretary would be re-
pealed.
The focal point In the military es-
tablishment, the committee said,
are the Secretary and the Joint
Chiefs of Staff.
1T has proved difficult to expe-
dite decision on the part of the
joint chiefs or to secure from them
soundly unified and integrated
plans and programs and clear,
prompt advice" the report stated.
To try to iron out this situation,
Secretary Forrestal held two i'm
portant conferences with the Joint
Chiefs, at Key West. Fla. and at
Newport, R. I. These concerned air
power problems and the roles of
the naval air arm and the Air
Force.
The committee opposed the sug-
gested merger of the two air service.
Concerning the dispute between
them, the committee said ''it would
seem prudent to develop both land
based and carrier-based bombing"
adding:
"A merger of the two services
could rpt remove this necessity,
but might destroy the efficiency Of
one or both .. The fact Is that at
the moment we are In q rather
painfully expensive transitional
period in which the safest course in
not the cheapest.
But we can and should
make sure that the cost of the
