Military Developments Reported in "VerY Seri-
 out" World Situation
By ELTON c. FAY P Military Affairs Reporter


 WASHINGTON, March 11.-IR- Military developments in the United States reflect the very, very serious" world situation noted by Secretary of State Marshall.
 High command conferences (. new weapons quests for mili- tary manpower Congression- al warnings against cutting de- fense funds. All these coincided today with Marshalls grave sum- nation of the trend of global af- fairs.
 But just as the Secretary voiced an implied plea to the American people yesterday to keep cool, other top officials in both the diplo- matic and military branches of the government took pains to stress this:
 All efforts to build up the United States armed might are aimed solely at guarding against aggres- sive attack.
 Secretary of Defense Forrestal told a news conference yesterday that it is not the nature of demo- cracies, particularly this democra- cy. to plan war deliberately. But the United States is determ- ined to put it's military house in order.
 Here are some of the latest ef- forts:
 High Command: Forrestal has ordered the joint chiefs of staff to meet with him and tell him where they disagree about what service should do what in a war
 Weapons While making ready for further tests of atomic weapons in the Pacific, the military has tegun experiments in California with the worlds biggest standard explosive bomb--a 21-ton missile.
 The Navy stressing more and more the role of carrier-borne aviation in it's fleet, proposes to build giant 80,000-ton flattop. Such a carrier could make pos sible new and even harder-striking task forces.
 Manpower: A new effort to push universal military training through Congress is underway.

" WASHINGTON It has now been nearly four years since Demo- cratic party moguls met at secret White House dinner and persuaded Franklin Roosevelt to accept Sena- tor Truman of Missouri as Vice. President. They knew then, of course, that the chances of FDR s living through the next four years were slim.
 Present at the dinner were Ed Flynn of the Bronx, Mayor Ed Kelly of Chicago, Mayor Hague of Jersey City, and Bob Hannegan. Today, almost the same Democrat ic moguls convene at the White House. And despite, this weeks announcement thHt Truman is a candidate, they still hope they can deftly dislodge from office the man they put in.
 They know in advance that this will not be easy--for two reasons: l, the embarrassment of breaking the news to Truman; 2, finding another candidate who can win.
 Two years ago all this would have been easy. At that time, Truman himself was saying he did not want to be President. But no man likes to retreat under fire, and Truman's ideas on this are well illustrated by the staunch
