Any attempt or move to circum-
vent that law is not only going con-
trary to the will of the Congress,
but also is tampering with the
security of the Nation. I feel that
very strongly, and If I have to I
will say it very strongly.
Il have never opposed the ex-
istence of naval aviation. But ]
am vehemently opposed to any
scheme that attempts to set up two
coequal air forces that divide re-
sponsibility for strategic lombard
ment. We had plenty of bitter
lessons on divided responsibility in
the last war. That's one lesson we
certainly should have learned. In
creating an independent Air Force,
1t was the clear intent of Congress
not to divide air responsibility but to
center it in an independent Air
Force.

u. 5. Diplomats Scan
Bogota Reports for :
Hint Of Reds Role
BY the As.oe;o,ed Pres,

Diplomatic officials here scanned
Bogota reports today to determine
what role Communists played in the
Colombia revolution.
The nations President, Mariana
Ospina Perez, laid the whole revolt
to a Communist maneuver"-and
promised to prove it later.
And a dispatch received at the
State Department last night indi-
Gated that the Communists are at
least giving support to the rebels. A
call for general strike to support
the revolution was signed by a men,
Der Of the revolving Liberal Party,
and by Communist.
Directed at Liberals.
Authorities here, weighing these
reports-as we'll as a message from
Ambassador Willard Beaulac that
the rioting appeared to be directed
.chief1y by liberals to the
theory that the Communists had
leaped into the fighting to gain
whatever advantage they could.
The Communist Party in Colom-
bia repeatedly numbers about 5000.
In his communique last night
Conservative President Ospina Perez
charged that the man who killed
Liberal Party Chief Jorge Eliecer
Gaitan-and thus touched off the
rioting-was apparently of Com
munist affiliation."
The assassin, at last report, lay
dead and unidentified, his torn
body sprawled before the Presiden-
tial Palace.
The strike order came from the
Colombian Confederation of Work
ers and was signed by Confereda-
ton President Victor Julio Silva,
a Gaitan supporter, and Secretary
General Pedro Abella, a Communist.
~. Liberals Dominate Workers.
Diplomatic officials pointed out,
however, that Liberals dominate the
Confederation. They have seven
votes in the organizations directive
council, while the Communists have
but three.
Officials added that Gaitan had
been trying for some time to whittle
down Communist influence in this
organization.
The Liberal leader never had
openly spurned Communist support
but neither had he actively courted
it. Diplomats said he was looked
on as "leftist liberal"
He recently had gained support of
the two dissident factions of the
Liberal Party as their only presi-
dental candidate in 1910. Many out
standing leaders of this party have
denounced communism.

Force May Be Used by u. N
For Truce in Palestine

NEW YORK, April 10 (P.-The
United Nations may use force to put
through a Jewish-Arab truce in
Palestine.
This possibility arose today after
the United States called on other
Security Council delegates to sub
NIT suggestions on terms Of a cease
fire order The ideas will be con-
sidered here Monday at another in
formal meeting of delegates.
Efforts to get a cease-fire agree
ment between the Jewish Agency

virtually have collapsed because Of
conditions laid down by both sides.

Feud Precipitates Outburst.
Gen. Spaatz's fighting outburst
was precipitated by a bitter inter-
service feud among the Air Force,
the Navy and the Defense De-
partment since early last January.
At that time Admiral Chester w.
Nimitz, retired chief of naval oper-
ations, issued statement on naval
aviation that called for a long-range
construction program to build a
number of $4,000 and 10000 ton air.
craft carriers The statement was
given to the press by the Navy Pub
lie Relations Bureau and was ac-
cepted as the Navy's public bid for
the role of the strategic lombard
n,ent arm.
This was direct invasion of the
long accepted function of the Air
Force.
The Nays action in making Ad-
miral Nimitz's provocative state
ment public led to bitter undercover
warning between the armed services.
Finally, Defense Secretary Forrestal
issued an order requiring that all
such statements be cleared first
through his Office However, this
was little comfort to the Air Force,
as practically all of Mr.. Forrestal s
staff is made up of Navy personnel.
In the last two weeks the smol-
dering uncover feud again broke
into flame when Mr.. Forrestal pre-
vailed on. President Truman not to
recommend expansion of the Air
Forces strength from SIS to 70
groups This had been previously
recommended to Congress, and had
received strong support among leg
islative leaders.
Gallery's Report Adds Fuel.
Early this week further fuel was
added to the controversy by the
disclosure of report by Rear Ad-
miral Daniel W. Gallery. chief OF
the guided missiles branch of naval
operations. In this report, Admiral
Gallery advocated that strategic
bombing be made a naval function
and that the Air Force be confined
chiefly to a defensive role in the
United States.
| In addition to this provocative
proposal, Admiral Gallery's report
further incensed Air Force chiefs
by his admission that the tradi-
tional- role of surface fleets had
become obsolete and that it was
necessary for the Navy to find some
new justification for its continuance
as major military branch. His
solution for that was to build ul
task forces of super aircraft car
riers that would conduct strategic
bombing operations.
| Admiral Gallery's report was the
spark that touched of Gen. Spaatz's
outspoken explosion at the meeting
Of military chiefs.

Hirshberg Sentence
Upheld After Appeal
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, April 10 The
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals has upheld the Navy court
martial conviction of Chief Signal
man Harold E. Hirshberg, accused
of striking two fellow prisoners OF
war in a japanese prison camp.
The Circuit Court handed down
its 2-to-l decision yesterday, revers-
ing a Federal court ruling last Sep
tember which voided the Navy trial
and its sentence of a diShonorable
discharge and 10 months imprison-
ment.
At that time the lower court ruled
the Navy lacked jurisdiction to try
Hirshberg since he had been honor
ably discharged after the offenses
allegedly took place and then had
re-enlisted. --.
The new ruling holds the 29-year-
old petty officers honorable dis
charge docs not terminate the
jurisdiction of the Navy to call him
to account for offenses during that
enlistment,
Hirshberg, now stationed at a
Navy receiving station in Brooklyn,
indicated last night he would seek
a. rehearing.
The lower courts ruling had been
appealed by the Navy. Navy spokes-
men said yesterdays decision auto
matically restored the original
court-martial sentence, but that nc
action would be taken until a final
court order is entered. The order
might take several days.
Hirshberg pleaded he had tried tc
maintain discipline among his fell
low prisoners in order to shield
them from japanese punishment.

ing the proposal to the House Vet
erans Committee yesterday, said
direct loans now are necessary be-
cause veterans are unable to get
them from lending agencies.
Walter L. Allessandroni of Phila-

National Housing Committee, told
the committee the proposed legisla-
ton would not conflict with private
builders who last year protested
another housing bill.
He said the loans would be made
to groups of five or more veterans
who band together in strictly nom
profit homestead associations. Each
would be under a Federal charter
and would organize the mass con-
struction of homes with a $4,000
top limit on each.

Mr.. Allessandroni said the Legion
believes that through mass buying

Federal grants for community util-
tiles, costs could be reduced to 40
to Is per cent below present levels.

amendment to the 1948 Veterans
Homestead Act.

| fall, which drew storm of protest
from private builders. provided that
veterans associations could sell tax

Reds Took Advantage
|0f Assassination
By GEORGE Beveridqe

DR.. GonZalo Restrepo-Jaramlllo
Colombian Ambassador to the United
States, declared today he is con-
vinced that Communist elements
have taken advantage OF the assas-
sination of Jorge Eliecer Gaitan,
popular leader of the Liberal party,
to foster their own ends in his
revolution ridden capital.
The ambassador, in an exclusive
interview, said last direct word he
received from his country was that
the government is taking control
of the situation. He predicted

ness of this, hour"
Spontaneous Outburst.
DR.. Restrepo said he believes the
revolution was a spontaneous result
of the assassination but it is plain
fact to me that Communist ele-
ments took advantage of that op-
portunity."
He said one of the proofs of that
assertion is that lone of the most
we'll known Communist agitators.
