Preparing for 'Phuse /

The recommendations by Defense Sec
retary Forrestal for immediate strength
ening of the Nations ground, sea and air
forces are in line with what the Presidents
Air Policy Commission described as mini
mum requirements for survival in the air
age" They fall far short Of what that
commission and other expert groups re-
gard as necessary to wage continuing,
effective offensive leading to complete de-
feat OF an attacker during phase l."
The commission explained that Phase
is that part of military preparedness
essential to repel initial attack by an
enemy not equipped with atomic bombs
in quantity. During this phase, the group
said, a balanced military establishment
must be built up at once and maintained
at safe strength. The program for expan-
sion of our military power presented to
Congress by Mr.. Forrestal Is designed to
provide that minimum safe strength
properly balanced among the Army, the
Navy and the Air Force.
Since manpower shortages are the i'm
mediate concern of the three services,
the emphasis given selective service in the
overall program Is well JUSTIFIED. The
voluntary recruiting program has failed
to supply the urgent personnel needs OF
the armed forces in this critical period, "A
revival of the draft offers the only real
assurance that the men needed right
now. can be obtained. AS Mr.. Forrestal
pointed out, this is a short-range expedi-
ent to meet short-range requirements.
Universal military training is a long-range
measure that will provide not regular
combat troops but reserves available for
service only after war strikes
The draft would enable the Army to
fill out our alarmingly skeletonized combat
divisions to effective strength. The plan
calls for rapid build-up of our CONT
mental mobile striking force from barely
more than two divisions to $4,000 men.
The Navy and Marines would be given
additional men to provide war compile
ments for ships and stations and to recall
more ships from storage. The Air Force
would be brought to 100000 strength.
The proposed increase in Air Force funds
would still be insufficient to add all the
planes needed for the seventy groups
desired by the Air Force, however.
Secretary Forrestal did not touch in his
public testimony on the problem which
has been worrying him since unification
of the three services-the necessity for
unified plan of action, agreed to by Army,
Navy and Air Force strategists. The lack
of such a plan was criticized by the
Presidents Air Policy Commission andd o5
the Congressional Aviation Policy Board
It was to resolve the differences over stra-
tegic bombing, scope of Marine operations
and similar issues that Mr.. Forrestal held
his recent closed conference with the Joint
| Chiefs of Staff The fact that details OF
| any agreement have not been made public
do not necessarily indicate that disunlty
still exists, however. If an overall stra-
tegic combat plan has been adopted, 1t il
not likely that we will tell potentla
enemy about it. And the def1niteness o.
the program just submitted to Congress
indicates that we at last have carefully
worked out program and that we mean te
implement it without further delay.

Americas Bio Come

That persistent efforts of Americas Wild
life conservationists are paying dividends
is attested by the latest census figures on
the Nations big-game population. The
Fish and Wildlife Service has just reported
that the number of hoofed big game and
of bears increased about twenty-five per
cent from 1943 to 1946, according to esti-
mates that are necessarily imperfect.
Animals are notoriously less cooperative
than human beings in census projects.
The 1s43 estimate placed the big-game
total at nearly 6,600,000 animals-mostly
deer and related species. BY the end of
1946, however, the total had risen to
approximately 8240,0O0 animals. The
trend is even more striking when COM
pared with the 1915 low mark of 100000.
1t was the distressing decline of the
country's big-game resources that stimu-
lated wildlife lovers to organize campaigns
to prevent utter determination of the
bison, bear, caribou, moose, elk, bighorn
sheep and other distinctive animals which
once fourished on the American continent.
\ The near extinction of the bison by the
turn of the century gave warning of
GllC ucGu lOI SGcIll WuQll1c COIlScl FdGlOIl
measures by Federal and State authorities.
survey in 1890 showed that few bison
remained except herd given refuge by
the Federal Government in Yellowstone
National Park. In 1925 the number had
increased to more than 1000, and the
latest estimate is 5000 of the huge,
bumped d-shouldered buffalo"
Government experts attribute the SUBJ
stantial increase in big-game numbers
from 1943 to 1916 not only to improved
conservation measures but to wartime
shortages of ammunition and gasoline.
Licensed hunting of the animals suffered
from both shortages during the war years,
as we'll as from a shortage of hunters.
The enforced holiday shows how rapidly
Americas animals of the fields and forests
would multiply if nature were allowed to
take its course. Some restraints are
needed to keep the animal population at
reasonable levels-and that is where the
hunter has legitimate and necessary
part to play in the wildlife scene.

Rurol Nonforminq Work

Reports indicate that during the neXt
few years many city and SUBURBAN
dwellers are planning to build or buy
homes in the countryside within COM
muting distance OF their work. The
movement in decentralization of popula-
ton had its first important impetus after
World War l. During the difficult finan-
cial years of the early sos, many tamliles
found that big gardens, chickens ana
perhaps a COW or goat materially lessened
the cost of living. Now a new angle mas
made itself felt AS people move onto the
roads radiating from cities and larger
towns. as small-village populations in
crease, there will be numerous oppor-
tunities In rural nonfarming work.
A survey made in the autumn OF 1s46
shows that almost all urban services are
available in country communities OF Z,ooo
population The most important rural
lack is modern medical resources. But so
far as trades, crafts and service vocations
are concerned the general population
wants them and will pay for them. Within
twenty to thirty mile radius of larger CEN
ters many of the trades and shops may be
branch Offices of larger concerns with
headquarters in cities. But in more than
so per cent of the cases the shops and
trades are individually owned by local
citizens.
AS the area around our larger centers
fills up there will be vocational oppor-
tunities for those who prefer to work
outside the cities. increasingly, people
prefer to trade where traffic problems are
not pressing. One interesting angle is the
increase in custom work for both large
acreage farmers and small-land owners.
Farmers and gardeners are discovering
that it is more economical to have certain
tasks done by contractors: Flowing, har-
rowing, grain harvesting, silo filling, hay
baling. Veterans with farm background
are making success of this type of work.
The newly devised portable power saws for
telling and cutting up trees offer tremen-
dous possibilities as farmers and nonfarm
woodland owners learn how to handle
woodlands. In the next decade increased
population in the circles around cities and
the increasing interest in part-time farm
ing mean that many people will find work
in rural, nonfarming vocations.
