ANOTHER MILITARY MAN

The appointment of Vice Adm. Alan G. Kirk as
Ambassador to the Soviet Union maintains we'll
established policy of sending military men to Moscow
for what must be considered of our two or three
most important diplomatic assignments. He follows
1t Gen Walter Bedell Smith and Adm. William H.
STANDBY in the Moscow post.
AS a rule of thumb it is not wise to draw heavily
on military men for high diplomatic posts But like
any rule that should not be followed SO savishly
as to deprive the country of the services OF able men
when they are needed And Moscow is one capital
where it is especially desirable to have man OF
military experience.
The Russians draw extensively on military men
for high governmental office. Their relations with

TRUMAN FORCED CLAY
RETIREMENT

Inside fact about Gen Lucius
Clay's retirement as U. S. Mill
tary Governor of Germany was that
he didn't want to be retired at this
time at all. Truman forced his
hand.
Clay had been sending messages
to Chief CT Staff Omar Bradley,
complaining that he was tired and
i'll and wanted to come home. But
close friends say the General had
expected Bradley to urge him to
stay on. He wanted to see the new
German republic finally set up. So
Clay get the shock of his life when
alighting from a train in Germany
on May 3, he was Informed that
his retirement had been officially
announced by the White House.
What actually happened was this
President Truman just happens to
have been on OF the Senate cru
saders against cartels and monopol-
les. In fact, it was his expose
Oh Germany's l. G. Farben and its
conspiracy to control rubber and
synthetic gasoline with Standard
Oh of New Jersey which first shot
the Truman War Investigating
Committee into the headlines.
On April 20, therefore, the Pres
ident read the report of Federal
Trade Commissioner Garland Fer
guson on the U. S. Army's failure
under Clay to disband l. G. Far
ben and other Nazi cartels. Call
ing in an aide, Truman said:
Now is the time to get rid OF
that top sergeant in Germany"
Three days later, and much to the
dismay of the General himself, the
White House announced that Clay
would be relieved on May Is. Clay's
friends and advisers Immediately
started some backstage wire pulling
to keep the General in office, but
when Truman makes up his mind,
it usually stays made up.
Note-Just a few days prior to
this, Richardson Bronson of the
Decentralization branch, severely crit
icized in the Ferguson report, was
telling friends not to worry about
the Ferguson report, because his
friend, former Undersecretary of the
Army William Draper, had put the
Xix" in at Washington. Apparent
ly Mr.. Draper, of the Forrestal
Wall Street banking firm, didn't
have the fix fixed securely.

understanding of the French than Mr.. Bruce in his
year chief of the ECA mission in Paris. He

in his quiet and persuasive way, for the Mashall
Plan and for the foreign policy that links the
United States closely than ever to France and
the rest of western Europe When he becomes Ambas-
sador. the job and the will be ideally matched.
President Truman said wistfully the other day
that it hard to find qualified for important
Government posts. Yet good men can be found if
fitness is the only guide The President proved it
second time by nominating Barry Bingham of Louis
vile to succeed Mr.. Bruce head of the ECA mis-
sion in France MIR. Bngham's ability and public
spirit have been tested other Government posts as

SENATORIAL HEART-THROBS

Washington's most battling ro-
nance is whether Sen. Harry Cain
II Washington State is divorcing
or honeymooning his wife, Marjorie.
1t has all Capitol Hill talking.
The gravel-voiceo Republican took
/ the unusual step Of summcning a
press conference last summer tc
announce that all was over between
| him and Mrs. Cain. But while the
divorce papers are supposed to be
going through the courts, the Gains
are going around town-together.
The other woman in the triangle,
though not announced at Gains
press conference, is attractive Mary
Louise Hall, who used to work for
the COPS Senate Secretary, Carl
Loeffler.
Meanwhile, Mrs Cain has started
heroic battle for her man. Dur
ing his six-hour filibuster against
Washington's Ex-Governor Mon
Wallgren, Mrs. Cain was a faithful
spectator in the Senate gallery. To
other Senators wives, she exclaim-
ed; Isn't he great That's my
mani"
A friendly photographer even took
her picture leaving the Senate gall
lery, and the picture was printed
from coast to coast.
Mrs. Cain also has taken a great
interest in the Senate wives auxil-
larry, whose meetings she now at
tends, and has begged the Senator
to take her to official receptions.
But Mrs. Gains two aces in the
battle to win back her husband
are = ll-year-old "Raisin'" Cain
and 5-year-old Marlyce Candy
Cain. Mrs. Cain often pleads with
the Senator that the children want
TO see him, and once shreWdly took
off for New York for SIX weeks

turned, he moved back to his hotel

 Collins, army chief of staff, said Some of our marine friends have misrepresented the army's posi- tion.
 'We have no slightest purpose to impose the army's will upon a sister service"
 Collins testified before the House armed services committee. The committee is getting now the counter arguments against navy and marine complaints that pres ent defense policies are lopsides that they overemphasize the air force and strategic bombing while cutting down on the navy and ma rineS.
 Collins was replying to testi- mony that the House group got on Monday from Gen. Clifton B. Gates, commandant of marines.
 Gates had complained that ap- parently there was an intention among some high military policy planners to reduce his fighting corps to a ''police force"
 Collins picked up where Gen Omar Bradley, chairman of the policy-making joint chiefs of staff left off Wednesday in replying to navy-marine charges.
