Novick didn't even suspect that the

were cOmmunistic fronts.
And he couldn't remember

What the administrative procedure will be
has not been determined. A routine check
Of names against records at the FBI might
impose no great amount of detail. But If
the FBI is to be held finally responsible
for clearing-in security matters-all Of
the 205,O0 displaced persons who may be
found eligible for entry, the FBI's insistence
on the perfection and accuracy of its own
records may run counter to the demand
for speed in getting the program in
operation.
Consideration should be given to reviv-
ing the practice adopted during the war,
when alien admission was placed before a
security board composed of representatives
of the FBI, Army and Navy Intelligence,
the State Department and the Immigra-
ton and Naturalization services. The board
became a clearing house for all records
bearing on individuals as security risks.
There Is need for such an agency now in
connection with alien admission.

Operotion Combine

The joint Navy, Army, Air Force maneu-

Tor the first time some of the latest de-

tactics, as worked out in Joint planning
schools and conferences under the unifica-

plans evolved in the classrooms of the
Air University, the Armed Forces Staff
College, the Infantry Center, the General
Staff School, the Marine School and other
institutions of the National Military Estab-
ishment will be put to actual test.
The games are a serious business to
the participating forces, as they should be.
For the lessons learned at Eglin Field
might be put to use sooner than the
students may realize. The recent war
showed the value Of realistic planning and
intensive training. Already many of the
weapons and tactics of that war have
become obsolete or are becoming obso-
lescent. 1t is only through constant re-
search, planning and training of the type
that has gone into the maneuvers in

Jupun's Cabinet Falls

Japanese politics have somewhat un-
real quality. This Is because Japan has
not yet regained full sovereignty, ultimate
authority residing in the Allied Military
Occupation Government headed by Gen
eral Douglas Macarthur. All major acts
and decisions Of the native regime must
be validated by the occupation authorities,
who also issue "directives" that amount
to orders. In addition, there is the factor
Of General MacArthur's moral prestige
with the Japanese people, which is very
great.
Nevertheless, Japans political life func-
tions, within limits, in rather ebullient
fashion. This alien-controlled nation is
being encouraged by its conquerors to
erect new political edif1ce along demo-
cratic lines. So Japan Is vouchsafed q
constitution, legislature elected by popu-
lar suffrage, and cabinet form of
government responsible to Parliament.
And the Japanese have entered zestfully
into their political privileges, with several
parties which hotly dispute with each
other for power and preferment. The
Cabinet headed by Premier Ashida, which
has just resigned, is the sixth since the
Allied occupation began somewhat over
three years ago.
The Ashida Cabinet was a coalition
affair. 1t was slightly leftish in complex
ion including the Socialists But 1t was
never strong, and its fall was precipitated
by decidedly malodorous bribery scandal
involving one Of its members. Another
reason for its growing instability was its
lodging of responsibility for measures
suggested by Allied headquarters such
suggestions being treated by the Cabinet
as formal directives which should be
carried out regardless of the Cabinets
opinions
The fall Of the Ashida Cabinet, accom-
panied by breakup of the coalition that
supported 1t and participated in it, leaves
the parliamentary situation rather con-
fused. The strongest opposition group is
the Liberal Party, headed by former
Premier Yoshida. This party is conserva-
tive IN character, representing business
and financial interests. However, 1t is
doubtful If Yoshida can build q Cabinet
which can obtain the requisite majority
support in the present Lower House.
Yoshida has previously indicated that he
Will not try to patch up an unstable coali-
ton regime, but prefers instead dissolu-
ton Of the present House and general
elections to choose a successor. The indi-
cations are that an election today would
result in Liberal gains perhaps sufficient
to enable them to dominate the Cabinet
which would ensue.

First CROSSING Remembered

The death Of Sir Arthur Whitten- Brown
in London recalls the part he played in the
aviation history of his time. He was one
OF the team of two men who made the first
nonstop crossing of the Atlantic in flying
machine. His companion, John William
Alcock, survived the achievement only a
few months The feat they shared was
accomplished in 4 36O-horsepower Rolls

1t was an amateur contraption; but 1t did
the work required Of it and blazed q trail
which Charles A. Lindbergh and thousands
OF other aviators have followed.

beginning with an Associated Press flash
from st. Johns, Newfoundland, announc-
ing the departure of the plane, and naming
Alcock, Britisher, as pilot and Brown an
American, as navigator. This bulletin
appeared on the front page of the paper
for Saturday, June IA, 1919. It gave the
departure hour as 4:13.o'clock, but 4 :28 later
was accepted as correct. The hazard of
the venture was emphasized in dispatches

There can be no question as to Mr..

self a former Federal employe, he has

organization supported by Rockefeller

Improving civil service procedures of State,

A Republican but not a politician, he
meets the requirements as to political

time his record makes it evident that
partisanship will not color decisions that
should be based only on impartial regard
for the public interest. Mr. Flemming set
a shining example of this high type of

From Somebody Who Knows


As Q former member Of the Washington
High School Cadet Corps, class of 1916 I have
read with interest the news accounts and let
ters to the editor which have appeared in the
columns of The Star concerning low enrolment
In the corps. In particular I was impressed
with the communication from "A Parent in
your issue of September 80.
This letter showed a sincere interest in the
enrolment problem Especially noteworthy
was the reference that the corps 'inculcates
good fellowship, courtesy, neatness and team
work" These elements of good citizenship de-
rived from membership in the Washington
High School Cadet Corps are helpful to every
one-whether he seeks a career IN civilian life
or in the military service
I hope that the recent publicity will focus
the spotlight of attention upon the enrolment
situation, 50 that suficient improvement may
be made to permit the corps to continue and
thus provide future cadets with the same op-
portunities offered its former members
