Army Plans New Rating System

Another step in the U. s. Army's program to make it easier for enlisted men to rise through the ranks has been announced by the Department of the Army. It consists of new rating system in which on-commisSioned officers, for the first time. will officially evaluate the work of the men who serve under them.
 In the past, efficiency reports for enlisted men have been made by officers only, and have con- sisted of one-word ratings rang ing from unsatisfactory" to 'ex- cellent." The, new system pro- vides for detailed evaluations of a mans technical skill, leadership ability. and similar qualities.
 These reports will be made by the direct superior of the man concerned, and in most cases this StpeIlOI VIII De HOn-CO1lllllS- stoned officer. The next higher superior, usually an officer or warrant officer, will check the rating and also indicate his own evaluation.
 Under the new system, a sol dier's efficiency rating will direct ly affect his chances for promo- ton, advancement to more re- sponsible job, or assignment to specialized training.
 Efficiency reports will be made for all enlisted men above the grade of Private.

Form Governors Advisory Board

Formation of a Governors Ad-- visory Board to act with respect to application for executive elem ency has been announced. Mem bers appointed by the Governor are: The Attorney General of Alaska, Ralph J. Rivers, MT. John F. Mullen, and Mrs. Mildred R. Hermann.
 A year ago the pardon power of the Governor of Alaska was ex- tended by Congress in the follow ing language: 'He may grant par dons and reprieves and remit fines and forfeitures for offenses against the laws of the said Ter ritory and reprieves for all of lenses against the laws of the United States until the decision of the President thereon shall be made known"
 Since extension of the Govern OTIS pardon power it has been ex- erciSed in behalf of but one ap- plicant, Miguel D. Zamora, whose sentence was commuted in De- cember of 1947 to time then served. However, some forty oth- CTS have since sought executive clemency, an investigative load too large for continued individ- ual attention.

In all fairness, the three rail- road brotherhoods which are challenging the constitutionality of the federal court injunction restraining them from striking should have government cooper ation in getting that case before the United States supreme court. In fact, the administration should be as eager as the unions to have a clean-cut decision on this ques- tion. But government attorneys, in moving to have the injunction dissolved, seem to be trying to block supreme court ruling.

OOPS! HE DID TT AGAIN
(By Lawrence Martini

President Trumans wise-cracking dismissal of the Communist spy investigation "red herring" is one for the book It will join the long list of his off hand remarks which now look foolish on the record.
 The President has very facile ability to coin phrases of the wish-Ihadn tsaidtha variety, and his dersion of the Communist expose is one of the choicest.
 Mr. Truman points out that the Congressional inqui ry has not brought out anything which the FB had not already known and that the evidence is not sufficient bring criminal charges agans those accused This pos sibly true But that is not the point.
 Whether not the evidence produced is adequatefor indictments. it is nonetheess substantial It is start ling index of the extent to which Communists and their epmpathzers had penetrated high offices
 There is denying that the Republicans are getting
 Cheshire cat grin of political satisfaction out of the probe It is good campaign material And it does offer welcome diversion from the embarrassing spot on which the President had placed the G. O. P with his de- mand for anti-inflation program. :
 But by lightly and laughingy dismissng the evidence of Communists in government the President has walk ed right into the Republican sack. Henceforth as evil dence of Communist infiltration of Washington deve ops the Republicans will be able to point at the Man Who Laughed And they ask this question: Can such man be trusted to clean the Reds out of government? It was too smart Mir President.

 Most of President Truman's omnibus anti-inflaton program died It is just well it did. There Is more than suspicion that the program drafted largely for the purpose of giving the President verbal ammu milton for his fall campaign No would have been surprised than if his request for unprecedented peacetime economic powers had been granted in toto
 There is little to believe his proposal to store the profits tax would have proved antn- fatonary It is doubtful that the President would have dared to wage control authority it had been granted him.
 His suggestions for stronger controls speculation and rents would have proved to be but mildly pallia tive best Congress knows of courSe that high prices annot be cured by putting ceilings few basic sumers ites which what the President appeared to have in mind when he proposed partial restoration of the OPA ceiling price system
 High prices are due fundamentally to the fact that too much money and too few goods available in the country. The only parts of the Presidents program which Congress enacted therefore, two proposals dealing directly with money supply and buying power.
 One restored wartime restrictions on inStalment buy ing The other called for tightening of bank credits.
 The President, by declaring an emergency could re- store instament credit controls at any time Congress- however voted to grant the Presidents request for Congressional action to restore the controls
 Just how effective instament credit control will prove to be as means of holding down imitation mains to be The total of installment credit out standing in the country is approximately billion do lars The increase has been less than billion dollars

 Congress picked out for enactment the few curbs which might prove to be really effective but weak ened those controls that prices probably will keep right on going up although the rate of increase may be tarded somewhat
 Anyhow the special session succeeded, as the Pres- dent undoubtedly planned, in drawing up the battle lines for the fall election campaign. The people will be final indo
