NAyY's WHITE ELEPHANTS

When high-up U. s. air officers really let their hair down, they are scathing in their criticism of big land army and of navy blue prints for giant airplane carriers.
 Carriers, they point cut, not only take two years and tremendous quantities of steel to build, but are white elephants. It takes too many warships to protect them, and they are knocked out for keeps if they get anywhere near an atomic bomb.
 Many people wondered why the hattleship Pennsylvania was lowed cut to sea and sunk when the nation was desperately short of scrap iron. The reason-radioac tivity. Nearly two years after Bikini, battleships from Bikini are still contaminated by deadly radio active fumes.
 Thus, if an atomic bomb comes anywhere near an ailplane car rier. that giant mass of steel re- Quiring two years and $l00,000 GOO to build is knocked permanently out of commission.
 Air generals also smi.e over the fact that their branch of the ser vice has no trouble getting plenty of recruits. Neither do the Ma rines. Its the land army which has trouble getting men
 If you need big land army tc i protect the USA, argue the air gen. 1 erals, you might as well admit de- feat in advance A big land army at home means fighting on U. s soil and deadly destruction. Only a big air force to meet and rout the enemy before it strikes the U s. can prevent destructive fight ing on American soil.

Seek To Take
 Foreign Aid Away From State Dept.

WASHINGTON, (P - Senator Brooks R.-IllJ, one of the sever est Congressional critics of admin istration foreign policies said to- day he will head a group demand ing that operation of the Marshall plan be divorced from the state department.

 If any other method is used, it will be simply Operation rathole'," Brooks declared.
 ''I am in favor of the intelligent investment of American money in Western Europe to get production. It must be done under the control of men who are engaged in pro- ductive operation in America and not by hangers-on from govern ment departments"
 Brooks said he thinks leaders from the fields of industry, agri- tulture and labor should be called in to organize the recovery pro- gram, in much the same way as they were employed to get large scale production going in the United States after the Pearl liar bor attack plunged this country into war.
