New Heads Of Reserve
Officers Association
Halt War With Army
By John A. Giles

The Reserve Officers Associati ton
apparently has called Off its war"
against the Army today, with a
new set of officers who described
the groups almost constant criti-
cisms of Reserve policies in the past
as water under the bridge"
Col. Clarence E. Barnes Of
Guthrie, Okla, who recently Sue
ceeded Col. william H. Neblett as
association president, used that term
yesterday when asked il his con-
ferences with the Nations defense
chiefs meant q complete change In
policy.
"The situation is bigger than any
personal gain now" he declared.
"We are dealing now with a. critical
national objective, and we want to
lend every effort toward that OBJ
jective. We want to work together
with the armed forces"
"Get Acquainted" Meetings.
Under Col. Neblett, the associs-
tion has been critical Of what was
termed an inadequate" Army Re
serve Program and asked for the
merger of the National Guard and
organized Reserves.
Col. Barnes said his meetings and
those of the associations three vice
presidents with Defense Secretary
Forrestal and the secretaries and
chiefs of staff of the three services
were largely "get acquainted meet
ings." They lasted more than two
days.
He said he viewed as "a plea for
unity" Gen. Bradley's recent speech
in Denver, Colo, in which the Army
Chief of Staff said he was "diS-
mayed that we should find this con-
slant acrimonious pickering and
debate between the Army and the
association"
Attending the meeting with Col.
Barnes were the following vice pres
idents of his association: Col. Morris

serve; Col. Henry j. Mutton, Army

This Changing World
Latins to Petition L. N for Resumption
Of Full Diplomatic Relations With Spain

Franco they blamed Russia and its
tools in the United Nations. Spanish
peoples closed their ranks behind
Gen.. Franco, who gained the sup
port of one-time opponents.
1t soon became obvious that the
halfway measures adopted by the
U. N. as q sop to Russia he'd no
practical consequences. Further-
more, in the last IL months Britain
and France Offset the effects OF
their diplomatic snubs by conclud-
ing extensive business deals with
the Madrid government. 1t has
become clear to all concerned that
continuation of the present anoma-
lous situation is inadvisable. There
Is no point in being represented IN
Madrid by junior diplomats, who
are not able to contact Gen. Franco
or his cabinet officials, when I'M
portant transactions are being con-
Quoted.
Moreover, relations between Rus
sia and her satellites on the one
side and the Western nations on
the other in recent weeks have be-
come so tense that almost every
government in Europe fears early
outbreak of war.
Truly Defensive Barrier.
Officially those governments con-
tinue to express their optimism. but
they are really frightened and wor-
rjed. Spain is considered by all
top military leaders in the West
as the only truly defensible barrier
between the Elbe river and the
Atlantic.
The mountain range which seps-
rates western Europe from the
Iberian Peninsula presents seri-
Gus handicap to an invading army.
Hitler would have liked to take the
Western entrance to the Mediter-
ranean. even over Gen. Frances op-
position, il he had felt he could do
so without serious losses. He con-
centrated some 16 divisions on the
French-Spanish border, but for
once needed the advice OF his pro-
fessional military men, who re-
minded him Of Napoleon's fate.
Spain's strategic Importance, both
as q natural barrier to the Soviet
armies and as an important poten-
tial air base, is not overlooked by
either European or American plan
ners. The handicaps they have en-
countered in dealing with Spain
have been due principally to the
fact that the Spanish people re-
sent the useless slap given them IN
1946 by the U. N.
But because Of the powerful
propaganda against Gen. Franco In
the major western countries, they
prefer to have Latin American re-
publics take the initiative. The
United States, Britain and France
then will follow their lead.

'On the Other Hand
Lack of Money May Have Bearing
On Nature of Democratic Campaign

NAM to raise for the Republicans
and what a pleasure it would be to
start doing same.
The G. o. P. already was as
sured. of course, OF all the funds
it can use. The record OF the 80th
Congress had done that, what with
it's tax reductions, its Taft-Hartley
law, its tender concern for the real
estate interests, the private utilities
and business generally.
Always Joe Grundy.
And then there's always Joe
Grumpy. Having managed the
maneuvering in the Pennsylvania
delegation that made Governor
Dewey's nomination certain, he can
be counted on to be more than
ordinarily generous this year, with
his own money and that of the
high tariff beneflciaries he has
long represented. Mr. Grundy is
considered just about the best
single-fisted money raiser in poll
tics.
So the Republicans will have
plenty of money and the Democrats
won't.
That should have bearing on
the kind of campaign the Demo-
Gratis attempt. Less radio time can
be bought. That may be no great
loss, since President Truman doesn't
exactly sparkle on the cir. Less
travelling. That may be unfortun-
ate, since Mr.. Truman's recent trip
turned out to be q success. Less
OF all the things that cost money.
What then can the President DO?
He can call on the Republicans for
help. He can call the Republican
Congress back to Washington to
complete the legislative business it
abandoned in June. He can compel
it to do its job or admit its un-
willingness or incompetence to do 1t.
That would be politics, but it
would be politics of a high order,
politics in the peoples interest.
Which is what we elect Presidents
for.
