Agreements Reached
On Role Of Services,
ForrestaI Reports
BY John A. Giles

Secretary Of Defense Forrestal an
nounced today that general accord"
had been reached by the military
high command on the functions,
duties and responsibilities" of the
Army, Navy and Air Force ct a
weekend meeting at Key West, Fla.
Secretary Forrestal, who conferred
with President Truman Immediately
after his return late yesterday, said
the substance of these decisions
which affect the long-term develop
ment Of procurement programs" will
be made public when they have
been formalized and expressed in
specific language and approved by
the President"
Mr.. Forrestal's aides said the
phrase procurement programs"
means aircraft, weapons, and other
equipment
Army Studies Draft Plea.
They said it does not include the
question of allocating manpower be-
tween the three forces. This pre-
sumably was a subject discussed at
the Key West session.
The military manpower problem
has assumed increasing proportions
in recent weeks. The Army is re-
ported to be considering a request
that Congress put the selective serv-
ice system back.
Army authorities say q return OF
the draft law would not mean re-
call to military duty of the veterans
of the last war. They say the lower
age brackets-men who have become
OF military age since the war-would
provide enough manpower
Others suggest that the mere
presence of draft law might in
crease volunteer recruiting to the
point where the present 100000
shortage in the Army would be
filled.
General Accord Reached.
The meeting at Key West was
with the joint Chiefs of Staff and
Mr.. Forrestal had announced in adj
vance that if accord could not be
reached he would make the deci-
sions himself.
Secretary Forrestal will carry the
Defense Departments fight for
funds, manpower and equipment to
Capitol Hill this week.
His statement today said:
THE points discussed at Key
West were subjects in an area of
disagreement between the armed
services upon which the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff had not been able
to reach a determination. Gen.
eral accord was reached in all these
areas, and number of basic deci-
sions affecting the assigned func-
tions, duties and responsibilities of
the three services were reached dur
ing the meetings."
Meanwhile, the Air Force an
nounced that it had reached the
$4,000 enlisted strength ceiling set
by the Presidents budget message
to Congress and was accepting new
recruits no faster than 1t loses men
through normal separations and
terminations of enlistment" It
added that officer strength now
stood within few hundred of the
$4,000 recommended by President
Truman.
The Army disclosed at the same
time that its enlistments last month
reached 1894, a drop from the
peak figure of 17,076 during the pre-
vious month. The Air Force re-
cruited 11,270 in February, compared
with 14,573 In January. The over
all strength Of the Army on March
was approximately $4,000, not in
cluding 226,363 officers and men in
the National Guard.

BY LEONARD n. BELL

Democracy in America is at
the crossroads. The crossroads
between total economic serfdom
and military dictatorship. And it
faces this cataclysmic change
without ever having had a real
chance to really work in it's en-
tirety. This trend toward total
itarianism which is being stead
lily accelerated by wave of an
ti-communist hysteria, if con-
tinued, will destroy the few lib
critics that do exist in our So
called democracy. -
Those liberties now enjoyed by
Negroes will most certainly be
snuffed out if the supposed self
appointed spokesman for demo-
cracy are allowed to continue
having their way. A sample OF
the worldwide trend toward to-
| talitarianism and a retrun OF the
Negro to outright slavery held
a few days ago. In South Africa,
/ where the native African has
always been held in actual, and
economic slavery, even under
the so-called liberalrminoed
Smuts. has now succumbed 10 a
so-called form Of nationllsm that
has brought into power as Prime
Minister. the notorious native
hater-Mr. Malan. This same
trend of extreme natiOnalism has
taken control of our country. IL
is disguised under another name
hut it meaning is the same as
what has just occurred in South
Africa. They fought English rule
and the unlimited entrance OF
foreigners, we are fighting the
oyerly-vaunted spread OF world
wide communism and the en-
trance of more communists to
this country. This is the same
brand of nationalism that exist
ed during the late President
Wilson's t erm of office, finally
defeating the League OF Nations
ana HOW dUOuI " uOAS
crush the United Nations idea.
Such a form OF nationalism also
brought Hitler to power.
In South Africa now, we can
expect those bonds Of ad]ect
slavery and all-embracing pow
; erty and total ignorance to be-
come more complete under Mr..
| Ma1an.
F! This can also happen here, as
/ we have just tried to demon

unless true seekers after a more
complete democracy continue to
support those forces who are

who seek to use the people OF

HIGH COURT
DECISION

CHICAGO, Ill. UNIV Father John
LaFarge, S. j., editor Of Ameri-
ca and spiritual director of the
New York Catholic Interracial
Council, this week hailed the.
Supreme Courts recent decision
incalidating. court action in sup
port of restrictive covenants as
lone more longstepl towards
marking the end OF a great de-
ception."
The priest spoke at the annual
Faculty dinner Of the She'll
school of Social Studies.
The decision. illustrated the
fact, Fir. LaFarge said, that the
American consciousness is rapid
ly coming to look upon racial
segregation no longer as a fit
instrument OF social policy either
from the stanpoint of moral fit
ness or of practical workable
ness.
Bitter experience has shown .
Father LaFarge stated, "that re-
strictive covenants are not
agents OF social peace but OF
discord, or. racial tensions and
or moral degradation and even
bloodshed. The harm wrought by
the use Of this outmoded and ut
terly inappropriate weapon, i'm
moral under our existing cir.
cumstances, has damaged not
only the material and spiritual
welfare lot the minority grups
