JCS Co-ordinutor

Having proved to be firm but tactful
co-ordinator in time of war, General Eisen-
hover is logical choice for co-ordinator
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It is no secret
that the overall military staff organiza-
tions is in need of some firm and tactfu
coordination. Defense Secretary For
restal made significant headway toward
the goal of jos unity at the Key West and
Newport conferences last year, but he ad-
mitted in his recent annual report that
much remains to be done. The Joint Chiefs
organization in its own annual report
stressed the Importance of resolving initial
disparities in separate viewpoints"
Mr Forrestal expressed conviction in his
report that differences of opinion among
the three military branches could be recon-
ciled by "free and frank discussion, con-
Quoted without rancor and with an open
mind" Some of the initial disparities"
already have been resolved, largely as a
result of the two major conferences called
by Mr.. Forrestal. 1t has been announced
that all services now are agreed that pri-

Tokyo Spy Report

The Department of the Army has done
we'll to disavow, as manifestation of
Army policy, the report issued a few days
ago on the operations of an alleged Soviet
spy ring in Japan prior to the attack on
Pearl Harbor.
Properly gotten up, and issued simply
as matter of information, the report
might have served useful purpose But
neither of these tests was met. The re-
port was written in the best Hollywood
style and its effect, if not its intent, was
to smear individuals without adequate
supporting evidence and without giving
the individuals any chance to be heard
in their own defense
1t is bad when congressional COM
mittee resorts to this sort of thing in the
course of an authorized investigation;
much worse when an agency of Govern
ment like the Army does it for no good
reason at all. The effect on public opinion
was bound to have been harmful to the
best interests of the Army, and the state
ment of disavowal is to be welcomed as an
indication that the responsible officials
in the department realize that this is so.

plane over it-and apparently the long
range course would be used chiefly for
rocket testing.
How long it will be before delivery of
bombs by piloted planes will be obsolete
remains unanswered. Some new light on
this question has been thrown by General
Muir S. Fairchild, Air Force vice chief of
staff. He says that guided-missile experts
now believe that within the next ten years
conventional shells and bombs will be on
the way out and that within fifteen years
surface-to-surface guided missiles will
have earned an important place in strate-
gic aerial warfare. He did not say that
such weapons by then would be ready
to replace bombers entirely. Perhaps they
never will be a complete substitute for
piloted aircraft But they are an impor-
tant new source of military power which
the United States cannot afford to over
look-particularly in view of reports OF
Russian researches in this deadly field of
scientific progress"

frightening Missile Progress

Push-button warfare is still long way
from realization, but indications are tnat
research is bringing that portentous era
closer than many persons had supposed.
An inkling of the rapid progress being
made was contained in Air Secretary
Symington's annual report. In section
on guided missiles he described the prog
ress during the past year as particularly
gratifying" To many persons this news
also will be particularly frightening.
Additional progress, Mr.. Symington said,
is being hampered by the inadequacy OF
existing testing grounds. In otner Woros'
our rockets and other electronlcally-con-
trolled pilotless missiles have developed
beyond the range capacities OF available
proving grounds in New Mexico and else
where AS long ago as July, l941, tne
Research and Development Board toresaW
the need for longer test ranges and rec
commended the establishment of joint
long-range proving ground. Sites for such
a Laboratory were suggested.
Congress now has been asked to
authorize such a proving ground, at
cost estimated at $200,00O,0OO. And In
requesting this authorization the National
Military Establishment has lifted the
curtain on some of the progress already
made in the guided missile field. Thus,
It has been revealed that rockets with
ranges up to five hundred miles will be
ready for field testing this year-but no
proving ground is long enough to try them
out And a range some three thousand
miles in extent is urgently needed to test
governmental 1ong-range rockets expected
to be ready for study within the next few
wears. DR.. Karl T. Compton, chairman OF
the Research and Development Board, told
a House Armed Services subcommittee
that guided missiles with ultimate ranges
of about five thousand miles are within
the range of possibility" Such missiles
would be true intercontinental weapons
with grim implications.
The difficulty of finding possible sites
in this country for so vast proving
ground is obvious. The board does not
contemplate purchasing e-thousand-
mile strip of land from which the inhab-
itants would be evicted 1t proposes
ACQUISITION by the Government of main
launching base and one or more target
areas, with regularly spaced control and
observation stations along the path OF the
missiles Residents along the missile course
would be assured that the danger of mis-
guided missile hitting them would be neg
libe" Whether this somewhat qualified
assurance would be sufficient to quiet their
fears remains to be seen. Certainly it would
be less hazardous to shoot rocket over
popul"ted area than to send pilotless

Airships and National Defense

To the Editor of The Star:
Your recent editorial, Comeback OF the
Blimp," should be welcomed by all VINO
want to see dispaSsionate evaluatlon OF I'M
portant aeronautical and national defense
problems Permit me to make but few
of the many comments that could oe IN
spired by your timely editorial.
Your mentioned opposition to olimps De-
cause one was shot down by U-boat on
Florida hardly does credit to mature think
ing by any one let alone by some otncerS.
When did we decide to engage In only SAFE
actions? Airplanes got many chances ana
cot many U-boats But just because they
were airplaneS or something besldes ar
ships can we overlook the fact that one
well-placed bullet can be the end OF any
airplane and that U-boats shot down some
nlanes as we'll as the one blimp? Unfor-
tunately. it is this sort of slip-shod. super
fetal thinking-if not more unforglvaole
kinds. from which airships have too long
suffered
Only a bad break-one such as planes
too have suffered-robbed the blimp k-74
of lasting fame, even though it had been
shot down. With his .50-cal1ber gun reg
istering hits on the U-boat the pllmps
captain unhesitatingly maneuvered his
craft into perfect bombing position only to
have his bombs fail to release. Untortu-
nately, we never shall know why for the
only crew member lost was the bomoaroler.
U-boats fought losing battle against
aircraft and though late, brought ABOUT
elimination of the subs guns and its sur
faced tactics That is also our own current
practice Through the press the pubic 1or
some time has known this. Can 1t be that
"some officers who were so concerned over
blimp "vulnerability" weren't aware OF this
development in subs?
Just why July 1947, should have been
the time of the Navy's decision to retaln
blinps Is not clear unless possibly 1t marKeo
the happy but overdue exodus OF some OF
the classic airship opposition like that men
toned above from Washington. But as
continuing student of airShip progress, l
fail to detect any great surge OF enthusiastic
effort to expedite attainment OF the very
definite advantages possessed by alrshlps
in countering the new subs that admltteoly
are the Navy's number one problem OF To-Day.
Ignorance of Technique Emphasized.
There is nothing so mysterious about
blimps and their uses that cannot be
fathomed by a reasonable amount OF con-
scicntious study and interest. But since there
is so much evident ignorance concerning this
small form of airship, there is little wonder
that rigid or large airships are apparently
too big subject for many minds, even in the
military. But in fairness to the Army and
the Air Force in connection with airshlps.
let it not be forgotten that for over 80 years
the Navy has been responsible to them and
to the country at large, for the development
of rigid airships. Are these two services going
to have the Navy hauled up on the mat TO
account for its airship custodianship and It's
indsoutable failure to give the country

Evolution in Home Rule

IT is interesting to note tnat, IN fousH
form at least, the new home rule bill goes
back to what seems to be the inevitable
starting point in all such measures.
This is to give the proposed elected city
council legislative powers over the DlStrlcC
of Columbia which would be exercised
independently of Congress; Independently
that is. up to the point that Congress
could step in and override it.
If history. repeats itself, further STUDY
of the implications of such procedure WILL
lead to reconsideration and change. AS an
example, the evolutionary thinking OF the
Auchincloss subcommittee of the Eightleth
Congress. and its staff of professional
experts, might be reviewed.
This group decided at the outset that
there is ample ground for assuming that
Congress has the power to delegate to the
District Council the power to enact general
legislation with respect to the District.
But if this power is limited, 1t Is limited
by the general principle that a legislative
body Congress, in this case) may not
delegate it's powers to another body or
authority.
To get around this possible limitation
the Auchincloss group wrote bill provld-
ing that legislation initiated by local
council would become law unless Congress
explicitly disapproved it. AS precedent, it
cited the reorganization authority prevl-
ouslv given to the President, under which
presidential reorganizations would become
effective unless disapproval is expressed
by either House within a specified time.
This proposition was submitted to
distinguished group of lawyers. Some OF
them expressed doubt as to the constitu-
tionality of this process of legislation by
disapproval in connection with the District
of Columbia So in order to remove all
doubt the final draft of the bill would have
permitted the City Council to submit
legislation to a Joint Committee on the
District of Columbia. If approved there,
it would take the form of an enabling
Joint resolution, not subject to amend
ment, and be submitted to Congress and
the President. If approved, it would be-
come law.
It is unlikely that Congress will grant
to any elected city council general legls-
lative powers over the Seat of Government.
AS the drafting process on home rule
legislation continues. that fact will become
more and more apparent.

mary responsibility for strategic bombing
rests with the Air Force, that primary re-
sponsibility for antisubmarine warfare
rests with the Navy and that each service
must make use of the facilities of the other
services whenever it would contribute to
victory to do so.
Defense strategy for the immediate fu-
ture also has been agreed upon, it has been
disclosed, but further studies are necessary
to bring complete agreement on longer
range defense and offense plans. tits into
this still unsettled situation that General
Eisenhower will bring his mediating and
co-ordinating talents. Taking leave for
few months from the presidency of Colum-
bia University, the wartime commander in
Europe has been assigned by President
Truman as military adviser to the Presi-
dent and to the Secretary of Defense and
as presiding officer of the Joint Chiefs
His job as chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff has no statutory basis. He will, as
the White House statement expressed it,
"sit in" as presiding officer. In this role he
will serve in much the same capacity as
Admiral Leahy, chief of staff to the Presi-
dent, who is ill and whose retirement has
been rumored for some time. In effect,
Secretary Forrestal Is carrying out by
executive direction his proposal for legis-
lation to create "a responsible head" for
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Without such a
head it has been difficult to achieve the
unity at high staff levels necessary if uni
fication is to be effective in fact as we'll as
theory. If General Eisenhower can demon
strate the desirability of such jos re-
organization, congressional action to give
the Joint Chiefs "a responsible head" prob
ably will be Forthcoming.

Undergraduate Nurses

To the Editor of The Star:
Undergraduate and practical nurses are
rapidly Supplanting registered graduate
nurses in the homes of Washington. Public
schools and number of commercial schools
are Watriculating more and more each year.
Many undergraduate and practical nurses
are practicing who have had no training and
no instruction. A conservative estimate of
the number of undergraduate and practical
nurses in the District of Columbia is 1900.
Some of them understand and keep within
the limits of their capabilities. Most of
these are intelligent, competent, and salts
factory; others are incompetent, unsatiSfac-
tory, and ignorant. not only about nursing,
but about their relationship with the grad
uate registered nurses and about ethics.
Undergraduate and practical nurses are
not licensed, regulated, or otherwise con-
trolled, and the result is a ridiculous and
dangerous situation. Instances have been
reported where they have demanded and
collected fees in excess of those allowed by
the Graduate Nurses Association for the
registered graduate nurse. A number of
the mo1e progressive communities in the
United States require licensing. registration,
and regulation Of undergraduate and prac-
tical nurses. The District of Columbia
should and must have such legislation.
The better undergraduate and practical
nurses would welcome Such leglSlatlOn De-
cause it would dignity their calling and ele-
vate their position in the eyes of doctors
and the public. The difference between the
graduate registered nurse and the under
graduate and practical nurse would be de-
fined to the advantage of both. Fees would
be regulated and the public would be
protected.
The facts which have related are we'll
known to many people, out no one has done
anything to correct the situation. I am
writing this letter with the hope that men,
bers Of organized groups in Washington will
see it and will urge their groups to pass
resolutions demanding that bill be pre-
pared for consideration by this Congress
which will require licensing, regulating. and
registering of the undergraduate and prac-
tical nurses. These resolutions should be
forwarded to the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia.

Objects to Communist Musicians
To the Editor of The Star:
That was very touching letter by Ro-
Wena Weiss, concerning the now Infamous
case OF German artists. The quotation from
Arthur Rubinstein was equally soul rending
Somehow. though, it seems to me that
neither Miss Weiss, nor for that matter Mr.
Rubinstein, has ever protested against the
importation Of artists from behind the Iron
Curtain. Neither have they protested
against the playing of music by such noted
Soviet composers as Shostakovich and Pro-
kofiev, both of whom are not only musicians
but bootlicking Stalinist propagandists. Both
Of these Russians-as wellr'as the rest of
their Soviet company-constantly are quoted
in the Soviet press as worshippers of Stain
and Bolshevism.
This of course, is just a strange COIN
cidence but to poor, naive fellow like me,
it would appear that the Communists and
Nazis are not much different. AS a matter
of fact, the present danger of the United

The inevitable first reaction of a group.

ters. is to want rent control. as is the case

If members of Congress were to discount

and realize that many of their constituents
depend upon rental income for existence, the
