SHIPBUILDINC:
NnUy E2Dands

Increasing Importance in the
minds of U. S. defense chiefs OF
underwater and air warfare, in
cluding consideration of possible
attacks across the Arctic, was re-
vealed in a statement outlining
the navy's postwar shipbuildin-
program.
Vice Adm. Earle M. Mills, chief
of the bureau of ships, listed the
development Of advanced proto'
types in four major fields as the
aim of the building and conversion
plan:
FIRST, aircraft carriers cap.
able of handling the fast, heavy
lony-range naval planes developed
and under development since the
wsr; second, high-speed, deep
sUbmergence submarines; third.
aEti-submarine vessels to combat
these submarines; fourth, ships
equipped for Polar and picket
sNrvice."
Battleships were not mentioned
Ia the statement, nor was there any
direct reference to preparations
against air attack over the roof OF
the globe, but the programs EN-.
phasis on polar ships was consid-
cred self-explanatory.
IN THIS phase of the program.
two destroyer escorts and two sub.
marines will be specially fitted for
off-shore aircraft detection. One
cargo ship and two floating dry
docks for landing ships will be con-
verted for service in polar waters.
The aircraft carrier part Of the
program includes the construction.
to begin late this year or early
In 1949, of the yet-unnamed super
carrier of $4,000 tons, designated
as the CVA-58.

TREATY.:
On the Wdy?

In view of the existing physical
and theological rift which has di-
vided the world into two opposing
battalions, it has come to seem
almost inevitable that the western
bloc sooner or later would devise
some kind of formal military
treaty for the mutual protection
of the nations concerned.
AND A few days before the cleo
ton word began to creep out from
among thigh American sources"
that military treaty was on the
way.
The report was that drafting
was scheduled to begin soon Of an
agreement pledging full aid to the
tive-nation Brussels alliance Of
western Europe. Results of the
u, S. election were in no way sup
posed to affect the plan, since
both major parties had committed
themselves in principle to backing
the Brussels alliance.
SUCH AN alliance supposedly
will link the United States and
Canada in formal treaty relation
ships with Britain, France, Bel
giunl, Holland and Luxembourg.
From a behind-the-scenes stand
poin:, this will not be new move.
It is highly probable, indeed, that
the broad outlines of a north At
lanti,: pact-with some details
sketched in-has been in existence
for some time.
The alliance is expected to COM
NIT tae U. S. and Canada to:
1. BUILD up air, land and sea
forces of the Brussels powers.
2. STANDARDIZE equipment and
training.
3. CREATE a seven-nation uni
fed military strategic command
under an American commander-in-
chief.
4. PLEDGE a guarantee of each
nations territorial integrity in case
of war.
S. GIVE the North American
powers the right to establish air,
land or sea bases in any of the
five other countries.
U. S. officials expect that the
treaty will be ready for ratifica-
ton by the middle of 1949, barring
extraordinary events. How con.
gress will react to such a treaty
is, for the time being. a debatable
question.

REJECTION:
u. N. Proposal

Russia wouldn't play ball with
the United Nations on the settle
ment Of the Berlin dispute.
A six-power ''face-saving" reso-
luton for solving the crisis was
presented to the U. N. security
council and promptly batted down
by the Soviets-to the surprise of
no one concerned.
THE RESOLUTION proposed
that Russia lift the Berlin block
ade Immediately; that the four
military governors of Germany
begin immediate negotiations to
implement the Moscow agreement
of August 80 for a Soviet-backed,
four-power controlled mark in Ber-
lin by November 20. and that a
foreign ministers council be con-
vened within 10 days thereafter to
take up other serious differences
over Germany.
Russia's stated objection to the
resolution was that it provided for
the lifting of the blockade before
the currency control went into
effect.
Previously, the western powers
had turned down Andrei Vishin-
sky's counter proposal for stimuli
taneous lifting of the blockade and
putting into effect the currency
agreement.
IN REALITY, this point of diff
ference upon which the latest
deadlock centered was a minor
one, but it served to illustrate the
vast gap that must be closed be-
fore a meeting of minds between
the East and West can be achieved.
MOREOVER, it has become in
creasingly clear that Moscow does
not even have any desire to lift
the blockade. It is, for them, too
good a weapon with which to at
tempt to bludgeon the U. S. and
the West into granting them fur
ther concessions in Germany, in
cluding a voice in the operation
Of the all-valuable Ruhr industrial
area.

BLUFFINC:
In Berlin

Gen. H. H. Arnold, wartime COM
mander-in-chief of the u. S. air
forces, turned up in the news with
a military mans hearty opinion
about what to do with the Russians
in Berlin.
WHY NOT take a motor convoy
and push it through the corridor to
Berlin?" he suggested. Perhaps
we might have learned something
from Gen. George Patton's tech
nique. If Patton were running the
show he would take it through"
Russia, he claimed, is attempt
ing a tremendous bluff against the
U. S. and the western allies, but
is mot ready to fight, doesn't want
to fight and won't fight" If some
one should call her bluff.
WHAT would the Russians do if
an armed convoy did plow through
the blockade? mot much, If any
thing" was Arnold's laconic esti-
mate.
1T would be a grave and basic
error to let the Communists bluff
us out in the present deadlock in
Germany.
" ney are not ready to fight and
they do not want to fight. We should
curb the national tendency to be in
awe of the Russians, an awe
amounting almost to fear.
TIME plays with the Russians.
We have the superior power now.
They may have it later. Meantime.
it would be folly to let them bridge
the gap by bluff alone"
Whether he was right or wrong,
Hap Arnold at least had done the
worrying U. S. public one favor:
By reducing the problem to hard,
simple terms of pure action and
divorcing it from the intricate
realm of diplomacy he made it ap-
pear more understandable, less
overwhelming and less frighten-
ing. General Arnold, at least, isn't
expecting a war tomorrow.

STAIN TALKS:
Horrors

In what is probably the most
amazing outburst he has made
since the war, Soviet Premier
Josef Stain told the world that the
u. S., Great Britain and France
are seeking new war through a
''policy of aggression"
The accusation, despite the high
level of its source, amounted to
nothing more than a repetition Of
the already stereotyped Russian
practice Of attempting to turn an
opponents reasoning back on him.
HOWEVER, he added, the pub
Lie forces favoring peace" are too
strong to permit ''the instigators Of
q new war" to plunge the world
again into the horrors Of con-
Hict.
Stain named Winston Churchill
as "the main instigator of new
war" and predicted that Church
us pupils of aggression" would
be rejected by the people just as
Churchill has been.
Although he did not label Presi-
dent Truman. or any other leader
as a pupil in aggression" the
implication was too clear to be
mistaken, particularly since the
Moscow radio had broadcast q pre-
diction that Mr.. Truman would be
defeated on November 2.
STAIN accused the U. S. and
Britain of twice rejecting settle
ments of the Berlin crisis with
Russia and said that debate on
the Berlin question in the U. N.
security council twas a display OF
aggression on the part Of Anglo
American and French ruling cir.

Soviet premier said, declared

only 176 have been instructed to

added that 576 will 60 to Phlladel-

The House-passed bill to strength

Five proponents Of the bill rep

ers and optometrists' groups, urged
enactment Of the measure as neces-
sary to prevent practices alleged
to lead to overcharging the public
and to false advertising.
Two opponents speaking for op-

urged defeat of the measure. They
expressed fears the bill would give
so much power to the already exist
ing Board of Optometry that it
would drive them out OF business
