The leaders Of our newest arm
Of national defense were firmly
convinced that the Air Force was
the most effective branch Of the

security and. in order 10 obtain
much-needed appropriations 70,
its rapid development. made what
the other services consider eX-
aggerated claims about the speed
with which il could win a war.
Such exaggerations occur in
connection with the development
of any new type Of weapon, par-
ticulariy during and after a major
war. A similar attitude developed
in naval aviation. but it never
came prominently to the front
since the naval air arm never be-
came independent Of the Navy as
the Air Force did of the Army.
Navy Maintained Balance.
It was naval aviation which in
sisted on construction Of the
much discussed supercarrier. Can
collation. of work on that ship. on
orders from Defense Secretary
johnson. caused considerable pub
lie dispute. But it is doubtful
that the Navy's top men were sold
on the necessity of building such
a ship. They believe. however, in
the Importance of the air arm and
are anxious to obtain funds to put
into use an additional number of
carriers. now in mothballs for lack
of money. to implement the United
States air strength.
At the end of World War II,
many naval airmen believed that
the Navy's battleships. cruisers.
destroyers and submarines were
obsolete and that the Navy hence
forth must become a super air
force, with seagoing airf1elds. But
because aviation and the other
branches of the Navy are still one
unit, a balance has been main
tanned between the air admirals
and the surface admirals.
The ranking officers of the Army
and Navy maintain that America S
national defense must be balanced
and the Army and Navy possess at
least equal Importance with the
Air Force.
The unpublicized tests between
fighter planes and the B-36 will
tend to demonstrate the big bomb
ers effectiveness in combat. but
they will not prove that the air
arm has become supreme.

Subject of Bitter Row.
The question of the efficiency
and effectiveness of America S
largest bomber now is the subject
of a bitter controversy with deep
ramifications involving special in
terests. These will be closely scru-
tinized by the Armed Services
Committee of the House of Rep
reSentatives.
The House investigation has
nothing to do, however, with the
desire of the armed services to
find out the actual value Of the
plane, which has been proved to
possess great range, but which
has not yet demonstrated its
maneuverability in combat against
the latest fighters.
The Air Force and the Navy are
anxious to make conclusive ex-
animation, based not on one or
two spectacular Photographic COM

tests which may last many weeks

trial" of David E. Lilienthal,
chairman of the Atomic Energy
Commission, in the Senate Offlce
Building. A similar experience it
is. though less acute. to another
year ago in the House Office
Building caucus room. There
are the same trappings in kleig
lights that focus constantly on
the witness, the same photogra-
pliers popping up and darting
about. But there is more orderly
procedure here-for Senators put
more store on dignity-than in
that screeching inquisition by the
House Un American Activities
Committee where witnesses were
actually pushed around physically.
There is not here, either. the same
mean and leering spirit.
But there is something insidiouS
about it, in the endless probing,
probing. probing. by three or four
members of the Joint Atomic
Energy Committee to fish up if
possible some Communist who
may have worked his way into
the giant atomic energy organiza-
ton somewhere, so that they can
stand up and announce the dis
covery of a Communist plot"
Everybody Suspect.
AS the probing goes on, as there
rises up before the imagination
the great Federal police network
that is busy night and day. as
the web of suspicion and fears is
woven, you suddenly get the feel
ing that everybody in the country
is suspect and being watched.
Such a feeling seems finally to
have translated itself to the man
who started this trial" Senator
Hickeniooper, Republican, Of Iowa,
for he finally blurted out:
81 think the overwhelming
majority of Americans are trust
worthy"
This confession, itself. under
the circumstances. told lot
about the atmosphere gradually
created in this big room.
You become conscious. too. OF
the influences involved here be-
hind the scenes. Atomic energy
creates a weapon and the military
wants to get control of it again.
It is also a source of power which
the Government will control under
existing law. Private interests
would like relaxation OF the
law so they can get hold OF it.
You become conscious also OF an
attempt to create a political issue
for next years elections. Nor Is
this a straight party matter. For
these interests, which work
through politics, have their agents
in both parties.

Members of Congress differed

An attempt to blow up a fake

nounced that with the approval
Of the President all service days

Armed Forces Day. League Pres
ident Hecht informed him that
Navy Day was the leagues baby
that the league was composed en-
tlrely OF civilians who paid the
bills. This. he contended, made il
different from Army and Air

Secretary Johnson S reply was a
terse order TO the Secretaries of
Navy, Army and Air Force re-
minding them OF his order and
requiring that they cease prior
activities and help to develop
Armed Forces Day.
League Begins Crusade,
Following Secretary johnson S
cancellation of the super-aircraft
carrier, the league really went to
work. It's members received "a
very serious and personal letter
attacking "the autocratic civilian
who was responsible only to the
President and not to Congress and
the people"
You must join our crusade. "
commanded the letter, which con-
tinued with detailed instructions
on how to lobby Congress and
public opinion channels. Similar
letters summoned them to pres
sure Congress not to pass the re-
vised unification bill sponsored by
Senator Tydings, Armed Services
chairman.
Senators got a scorching letter
direct from the league about this
bill which described Secretary
Johnson's first consolidation order
as having "a net effect as absolute
as anything ever issued by the
Soviet Cominform."
The party could get rough. The
Van Zandt resolution points to
Secretary Johnsons connections
with the maker of the B-36. The
great steel companies which build
ships are in Representative Van
zandts Pennsylvania and their
possible connections with the Navy
League are also under scrutiny.
