APPLIES TO ALL

We jiggle the right hand against high
er taxation and then jiggle the left hand in
favor Of higher salaries or fees for public
officials.
How can we conscientiously expect to
have taxation lowered If we advocate the
adoption of legislation that tends to in
crease taxation?
In many parts of Florida public off
Gals are striving to get higher salaries or
fees. A movement started in Dade county
and endorsed by two judges, calls on the
Dade legislators to introduce and support
pay increase bills.
Salaries of public officials have been
increased recently in various parts of the
state, including Key West. In some Of those
places action is contemplated for further
increases in salaries of public officials
The Citizen, a few days ago, publish
ed an editorial in which A. M. Stafford,
chairman of Florida Betterment Associa-
ton, declared that if action is not taken to
curb spiraling taxation in Florida, the peo-
pie of the state are likely to find them
selves in position similar to that which
existed in the early '30's. when SO percent
of the taxes in the state was delinquent and
practically every city and county in the
state was virtually bankrupt.
No other city in Florida was worse off
than Key West at that time. City officials
should bear in mind those hard times and
also realize that no action that conflicts
with economic conditions can be taken to
stop their recurrence, Hard times and
good times come and go, and he is wise
man who conserves in good times to be in
a position to provide buffer when hard
times comes. What is true of that man is
true also of public officials, whether they
serve in nation, state, county or city. 1t
applies to all of them.

MONOGRAPH
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES NOTHING

The recent globe-girding flight of an
American plane, without refueling, does
hot prove, as many headlines asserted,
that the Air Force can drop bombs any
where in the world
The flight only proved that B-5O
bomber, with good weather and conven-
iently located refueling stations, can fly
nonstop around the world This feat does
not add anything new to fueling in the air
Or increase the range of our bombers. In
fact, it merely shows that they cannot fly
halfway around the earth without refuel-
ing from advance bases.
The flight was well-kept secret until
one of the planes completed the journey.
Il was timed to coincide with the consider
alton of Air Force appropriations in Con-
gress and many Washington observers
believe that this was the chief purpose of
Che exploit
General Curtis e. lie May, Chief Of the
Strategic Air Command, was asked at
news conference whether the flight meant
that refueling would enable the Air Force
60 deliver bomb anywhere in Russia. ;"
his answer was: Let's say any place that
would require an atom bomb
This conclusion is somewhat errone-
eus. The implication overlooks the neces-
sity of advance bases and of refueling and
tends to create the idea that we can have
= cheap war because Of the ability to de-
liver atomic bombs anywhere.
While the atomic bomb is terrible
weapon of destruction, it will be danger
Gus if the people Of this country assume
that the next war can be won by the
dropping of atomic bombs without much
blood and suffering. While the bomb
gives the United States considerable
advantage over possible enemies, it does
not as yet, leave out the possibility OF
lighting on large scale. with bleeding
suffering and dying for millions of PEG,
Tle.on both sides Of the titantic struggle.

OUR LAST ARMY DAY"

8
Under resolution passed by Con-
gress in 937, Che people of the United
States are asked to observe April 9th as
official Army Day. Military units will as
sist civic groups in appropriate celebra-
tions It is hoped that in communities
where such displays are unavailable, the
people will give some attention to the day
set apart to pay respects to the Army
1t should be noted that Army Day,
1949, will be the last one celebrated as
such, because, in the future, unified
Armed Forces is expected. Appropriate
ly, the slogan for Army Day this year is
"the U. S. Army-part of the team-for
security
While looking hopefully to interna-
tional cooperation, as explained by Gen.
Omar N. Bradley, U. S. Army chief of
staff, the leaders of the American Army
do not overlook the fact that the United
States is the richest and most powerful
of the community of nations. They know
that it is impossible to write off danger
by resolutions or pacts on paper and that,
in the event of trouble, the safety of this
country will depend upon fighting
army.
1t is appropriate for the people of
this country to give some thought to the or
ganization of the Army which has had a
glorious past. Not many years ago, mil
lions of Americans were in the Army of
their nation, fighting on. foreign soil, but
nevertheless for the protection of their
own country. The record they have writ
ten in arms is worthy of respect and GER
tainly the people of this country should
| pay some tribute to it and those who made
| it possible.
While the Army is only part of the
team, it is vitality important segment of
| the defense mechanism of the United
| States. No one should overlook the basic
fact that if this country is threatened
with invasion, its defense, security and
safety will depend upon the courage and
fighting spirit of armed men and the in
telligence and training of their officers
So, we feel that it is appropriate in
advance of Army Day, 1949, to call the
attention of our readers to the day set
apart for public recognition of the Army,
Let US hope that the Army of the United
States will never fail the people of this
country and that the converse is also true
that the people of this country will not
| fail the Army of the United States.

FORGOTTEN REFUGEES

A United Nations committee reports
that hunger and cold remain the prime
concern of the 100000 Arab refugees in
Middle East.
For some reason, the plight of these
refugees, now in camps in Egypt, Trans
Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Pales-
tine, arouses little concern in the United
States
1t appears, however, that the refu-
gees are victims of the fighting in Pales-
tDe and it would seem that they deserve
the consideration accorded the victims of
the war in Europe, Unfortunately for the
Arabs, however, there is no Arabic vote
IN the United States and, hence, nobody
"a apply practical politics to the pleading
OF their cause.

Congressional
|Crist Mill


The last Congress. BY the Ma
tional Security Act, attempted to
coordinate the activities Of our
armed services. World War III
had shown us that there was
wasteful duplication Of effort by
the Army and Navy. This was
especially true in the procure
ment of supplies as each service
set its own specifications for
equipment, which often resulted
in its being more costly and pre-
vented nter-changing Of parts
between the services.
The Security Act established
the office of the Secretary of
Defense, and it was intended and
hoped that by unification of our
services greater efficiency in the
planning and calculating of our
national defense would result.
However. il now appears that
this legislation has failed TO ac-
complish its purpose. Although
the Secretaries of the Navy.
Army and Air Forces arc. techni-
cally under the Secretary Of
Defense, they are still directly
responsible to the President and
can, and do. go over the head Of
the Defense Secretary with their
problems.
Furthermore, budgets for the
Navy, Army and Air Force are
made UP separately and though
integrated by the Defense Secre-
tary, each service can appeal di-
rectly to the Congress for funds.
Therefore, each service now vies
with the others for obtaining APP
preparations so that their bicker-
ings and rivalries have been in
tensified rather than decreased
by the creation of third armed
service--the Air Force.
Under the present law the De-
Tense Secretary is primarily an
umpire without the authority
necessary and desirable to main
tain order and unity of purpose in
our military establishment.
President Truman has now
recommended that the Security
Act be amended to make the
Secretaries of the Army, Navy
and Air Force responsible to the
Defense Secretary. This would
put stop to each service taking
its problems TO the President and
the Congress. This would mean
that for the first time the Defense
Secretary would have the power
to act as the real head of the De-
partment of Defense. After hear
ing the representatives of the
three services, he would have the
authority to make decision
which, of course, would still be
subject to the review of.sthe
President Of the United States.
Truman's proposal would also
add Craftsmanship to the joint
Chiefs of Staff Consisting Of the
Chief of Staff, u. S. Army, the
Chief of Staff o Naval Operations
and the Chief of Staff, u. IS. Air
Force). The person holding such
Craftsmanship would take prece-
dence over all other officers Of
the armed services and would
be the military. advisor To the
Secretary of Defense. General
Dwight Eisenhower, on leave as
president of Columbia University,
is now in Washington on active
duty fulfilling the responsibilities
of the Craftsmanship. However,
since the chairmanship has not
yet been officially created by
Act of Congress, General Essen
hover is acting as the personal
representative of the President,
and as such is advising the Sec
rotary of Defense.
