The American people, in all pro-
liability, have not yet experienced
the full cost of building and main
tanning our military power in a
troubled and unpredictable world.
The military services are growing
concerned over the limitations i'm
posed by their current budgets,
and their chiefs are saying, that
they can't do the job that is ex-
pected of them without more
money. President Truman has set
expenditures for defense purposes
at 15,000,000,000 for fiscal year.
However, there is a strong likeli-
hood that this figure, vast as it
is, will be substantially upped.
The last Congress, with an cleo
tion facing it, took the easiest way
out and approved 70-group air
force-which is still a long, long
way from existing in fact-and a
limited draft law, with so many ex-
emptions and exceptions that the
Army has had an extremely diff
ficult time filling its quotas. 1t left
unsettled the broad, basic questions
of just how our defenses shall be
built, and it is with these that the
S1st Congress will have to deal.
On paper, our armed services are
now unified. They are all headed by
a single cabinet member, who has
an assistant in charge of each Of
the three branches, and they are
guided in military matters by the
decisions of the Joint Chiefs of
Staffs. Actually, however, unifica-
tion hasn't gone very far. The old
inter-service jealousies and differ
ences still exist, and in some cases
they are stronger than ever. The
long-standing debate between the
Air Force and the Navy is in point.
The Air Force has strongly OPP
posed the building of carriers, on
the grounds that it can handle air
warfare by itself. The Navy claims
that carrier-based Navy air power
will be vital to its mission in any
future war, as it was lin the last.
Secretary Forrestal, in a Saturday
Evening Post article, said that it
will be a number of years before
real unification is achieved. In the
meantime, it will be necessary to
go ahead with our defense plans.
All the talk about push-button
warfare, in which amazing mac
hines, requiring the services of
relatively few men, will do the
fighting, has probably given a good
many people some dangerously un-
sound ideas. The push button,
guided-missile age will come, but
it isn't here yet. And neither, in
the view of the best military
minds, have we reached the stage
where air forces can obtain vic
tory practically by themselves. The
backbone of military power today,
as in the past, is men. Voting bill
lions for defense can produce lit
tie result unless the men go with
the money.
General Omar Bradley, whom
many consider the best Chief of
Staff the Army ever had, and who
had a superb combat record as
Eisenhower's principal field COM
mander, has made constant effort
to awaken the people to the facts
of life when it comes to military

But Still Dangerous

NEW YORK -P)- tuberculosis
was given a setback in 1947, with a
new low for deaths in the United
States. Provisional figures show
1885 deaths, Miss Mary Dempsey,
statistician of the National Tuber-
culOsis Association, writes in the
NTA's Bulletin.
This, she says, is the first time
the cOuntry's TB death toll has
been below $4,000. There were So
911 deaths in 1916. Wrong ideas
about tuberculosis are one reason

ical director Of the Peoria County
(lll) tuberculosis SanatOrium.
One false idea is that you can't

get TB unless someone in your
family had it. Another, he writes,
is that a change of climate is the
most important thing in treatment.
Still another is that one X-ray ex-
animation is gOOd~fOr a lifetime.
DR.. Runde lists five other reasons
TB hasn't been licked:
1. Complacency on the part Of

the public. 2, Until recently, there
weren't facilities for early dag
nosis. 8. Many localities still lack
facilities for treatment. A.. There is

cine has been widely used abroad
with encouraging results. 5. There
