congressional intention in their
establishment or to the urgent needs
of the times.
"The NSRB," according to the
report, "has a satisfactory pattern
of internal organization, although 1t
needs some active civilian and in
dustrial participation in its PLAN
ming. The internal organization Of
the Munitions Board does not ap-
pear to be satisfactory"
Neither Functions to Fullest.
Both boards, according to the
report, are devoting some attention
to plans for some future emergency
although they have not yet COM
pleted long-range plans-but nei-
ther is functioning to the extent
of its capabilities "in the current
context" The last phrase appar-
emily is a politely worded reference
to the present serious times.
The committee said the NSRB
has failed to complete an adequate
staff, to grasp clearly its own duties
and lacks an effective working rela-
tionship with the White House and
the Budget Bureau. The commit
tees solution is to suggest that 1t
be merged with the Council of
Economic Advisers.
There is little said in the report
about atomic warfare. The COM
mittee made this rather guarded
statement:
"The committee finds that the
National Security Organization has
made some progress in its provision
against new and unconventional
methods OF war. This is broad,
rather ill-defined field, with many
special aspects.
ut includes the development of
all possible means of defense, both
active and passive, against mass
destruction weapons-not only the
atom bomb but the other radiologi-
cal and biological and chemical
weapons that have appeared def
nitely and terribly upon the hori-
IONS Of warfare"
Would Activate Civilian Defense.
The recommendation is made that
plans for civilian defense recently
prepared in the Defense Secretary's
office be put into operation and that
an Once of Civil Defense be estab-
lished as promptly as possible under
the National Security Resources
Board.
It Is also recommended that effec-
tive steps be taken promptly against
attack by unconventional means"
The report takes up the problems
Of education Of officers. The COM
mittee said this education Should
be more definitely aimed at In
stilling greater sense of mutual
interdependence through a Military
Education and Training Board.
| "The officers of each service are,
by and large, appailingly ignorant
about the organization, capabilities
and limitations of the Others" the
report said. It urges that decision
on the current proposal to establish
an ait academy be postponed until
a thorough study can be made Of
the entire field of officer education.
A number Of suggestions regard
ing service education were listed,
some calling for regular college
training before service training.
The committee joined with the
Hoover Commission's Committee of
Medical Services in suggesting the
Evening star., 1948-12-16

consolidation Of military general
hospitals. with certainsother Federal
hospitals. But each service would
continue operation Of a single medie
cal center, probably Bethesda for
the Navy and Walter Reed for the
Army. Station and post hospitals
would not be affected.
Concerning scientific research, the
committee said the services are
spending more than $500 ,000, 900 for
this purpose and the country is not
getting full value for these expend-
Iitures. More important, the COM
mittee said, "are the risks to the
national security resulting from the
existing situation"
"A satisfactory complete and
integrated program of research and
development for military purposes
(as enjoined by law on the Research
and Development Board does not
exist" according to the committee.
THE board has not been able to
establish adequate reciprocal rela-
tionships with the Joint Chief of
Staff and has consequently been
unable to bring the full influence
of scientific advance to bear upon
the strategic plans to insure that
the military dollars now going into
research are bringing their full value
In return"
Current Moves Noted.
Progress has been made toward
common policies in the military field,
the committee recorded. It listed
an overall legislative program as
under preparation, personnel board
in process of formation, a study
under way of pay rates and retire.

uniform code of military justice. ,
The committee found one source
OF amusement and relegated to a
footnote In its report. It cited as
an indication that membership in
a common team is not fully devel-.

scare, prevalent in certain quarters
at that time, would have been even
greater"
The Air Force estimate was on
the situation in Europe, he added.
The report said the committee
had become convinced that too
many disparate intelligence esti-
mates have been made by the in
dividual departmental intelligence
services, that these separate esti-
mates have often been subjective
and biased, that the capabilities of
potential enemies have frequently
been interpreted as their intentions
and that a more comprehensive
collection system, better co-ordina.

Air Force and the Naval Air Arm
are kept within reasonable limits
and that the two are so eo-ordinated
in plan and program that each
dollar spent will bring maximum
return In military efficiency. This
has not been true in the past:
both services have too often allowed
their statements of requirements to
be affected by service ambitions and
desire to hold up their end"
Problems between the two services
are being settled now too largely
at the expense of the American
taxpayer" the committee said.
This cannot go on. And 1t need
not go on provided the new agen-
cies of coordination and control
are brought to function as they are
capable of doing
Returning to the position Of the
Defense Secretary. the committee
said his difficulties are magnified
by having under him no less than
II high officials with whom he must
work, but over whose appointment
|and removal he has no control. He
should at least be consulted in the
appointments, the committee held.
The committee report devoted con-
siderable space to discussion Of
the operations of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. It said the joint chiefs
have suffered from a want Of guild
ance from the National Security
Council which advises the President
Jon integration of domestic. foreign
and military policy ana which
makes recommendations on military
power based on objectiyes, commit
ments and risks.
The committee said the council
has suffered also from q certain
aloofness on the part of the Joint
Chiefs"
Joint Chiefs Too Removed.
Taking up the trouble with the
Joint Chiefs" the committee said
they have kept themselves too re-
moved from other parts of the Ma
tional Security Organization and too
deatched from the political. eco
nomic and scientific factors that
must enter into all strategic plans.
They have allowed themselves to
be influenced too much by "sonsid-
erations of service particularism and
aggrandizement," They have been
too heavily burdened with depart
mental obligations and minor mat
ters.
Individually, they need more as
sistance, the committee said, and it
recommended q moderate increase
In the number of officers on the
staff of the Joint Chiefs, now lin
tied to 100.
The inability Of the several mem
bers of the joint chiefs so far to
cope with service rivalries and diff
ferences has been the inherent,

underlying weakness" Of the organi-
cation, the committee said.
'The power to resolve such diff
ferences lies with the Secretary of
Defense" according to the COM
mittee.
One important element In stra-
tegic planning is the closest pos
sible relationship between the joint
chiefs and the Research and De-
velopment Board, the committee
said, but this does not exist now.
Evaluation Unit Set Up.
The committee stressed the need
OF a weapons systems evaluation
group. Secretary Forrestal an
nounced creation of such a group
yesterday. The committee report
said this important question re-
mained unsolved for months because
OF conflicts of opinion between the
Joint chiefs and the Research and
Development Board.
The Joint Chiefs are not equipped
for technical evaluation, according
to the committee. and this is "one
OF the most glaring deficiencies in
the whole panorama of the Ma
tional Security Organization" The
situation is described as not good
news for the American taxpayer,
who Is spending more than $500, ,000-
600 a year for military scientific re-
search and development.
Turning to budget problems, the
committee urged the establishment
Of a controller in the Secretary's Of
flee and uniform accounting and
classification procedures for all
three services. It described the bud
get as the most important single in
strument of control in the hands OF
the Secretary and a possible potent
instrument for economy.
"A sense of economy and cost
consciousness, instilled from above
by strong cost-control and account
ing methods and injected from be-
low by teachings in our service
schools, Is needed in the armed
forces" the report added.
In its consideration of teamwork,
the committee referred to the Ma
tional Security Council as the key
stone Of the security organization
and said the council has not yet
produced a comprehensive state
ment Of current and long-range
policies.
Important Fields Neglected.
1T has not yet measured up fully
to the needs of the times" the
report stated "s In its early
months. it has failed to operate
In many fields which seemed to
fall squarely within its jurisdiction.
A notable omission was its failure
to deal with occupation policies
which appear to be the very type
Of problem for which the council
was conceived.
Until quite recently, these mat
ters were left to the State-Army-
Mayfair Force Co-ordinating Com
mittee, junior organization. Now,
however, the council is itself han
ding major occupation questions"
Members Of the council are the
President, the Defense Secretary
and the Secretaries of the three
services and the chairman of the
National Security Resources Board.
Other officials may be called in.

sources Board and the Munitions
