the lack of sweeping directives
might quiet the fears of some
House members who were hesitant
in passing the act on grounds that
it would give the secretary too
much power.
Several Directives Seen.
Several directives are in the mill
but most of them are the result of
long-range surveys of possible
consultations, some of them ini-
tiated under Mr.. Johnsons pre-
decessor, the late James Forrestal
The main task, as Mr.. johnson
sees it, is to effect monetary saw
ings in the far-hung military es-
tablishment, and already a survey
of all branches of the establish
ment is underway to attempt to
bring about this economy.
Mr.. johnson has told the Senate

hopes to effect savings at the rate
of $1,000,000,000 a year by July l,

Pentagon SpecuIates
On Johnson Use Of
Unification Powers
By John A. Giles

There was increasing specula-
ton at the Pentagon today on
how Defense Secretary johnson
will use his vast, broad reorganiza-
tion powers when President Tru-
man signs the recently passed
Unification Act, but officials close
to- him insisted he will act with
moderation.
Mr.. Truman is expected to sign
the act soon.
The speculation was coupled
with talk on new appointments to
positions created by the act, in
Guiding a chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and three assistant
defense secretaries. Gen. Bradley.
Army Chief of Staff. was most
prominently mentioned for the
Craftsmanship, and this brought
about further speculation as to
resultant Army command changes.
Foreign Affairs Office Set.
Mr.. johnson took steps to mesh
the Nations military machine
with other Federal agencies fight
ing political battles abroad by set
ting up foreign military affairs
Office.
N. E. Halaby, a former State
Department official who became
foreign affairs adviser to the De-
fense Secretary in 1948, heads the
new setup.
Maj. Gen. James H. Burns, war
time assistant to Harry Hopkins
in lend-lease administration, was
named special consultant to the
Secretary. Mr.. johnson said that
Gen. Burns would advise him on
policy and discuss related policies
with officials of the National Sc
curity Council, the State Depart
menL and other agencies. The
role of the general, who Is 64. is
widely expected to grow into that
of an "elder statesman" He will
have no executive or administra-
tive duties.
Presumably most of Gen. Burns
dealings with the State Depart
ment will be in connection with
the military assistance program
should Congress pass that legisla-
ton. He lives at 1901 Connecticut
avenue NV. AS a colonel, Gen.
Burns was executive to Mr.. John
son when the latter was Assistant
Secretary of War in 1889.
CalIaghan Sea Transport Head.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
Rear Admiral William M. CAL
| Ilaghan,. director of operational
training of the Atlantic Fleet. has
been named director of the newly
created Military Sea Transporta-
ton Service. Mr.. Johnson on

Practically
Disfranchised

NEW ORLEANS CAMP The
boldest stroke to disfranchise the
Negro since the days of the nefar-
ious "Grandfather Clause" act
which had it's origin in Oklahoma,
was effected here last week when
the State Supreme court held as
constitutional a legislative act of
1913, wherein the legislature en-
acted a measure which reverts
the city tothe aldermanic form of
government.
The city, which has enjoyed
a Commission Council form ofgov-
eminent since 1912, will now be
governed by seven aldermen, and
will be divided into as many NUM-
cipal districts. The Negro vote
totalling more than 1889, &C
cording to the registrars report
for Sept. last, has been irrecover-
ably scattered.

stated the spokesman. According
tothe 1910 census, only 1888 or
90 percent of all male policeman,
sheriffs and marshalls employedin
the United States were Negro; but
no census statistics on Negro wo-

1t was learned in the course of
least 70 Negro women employed
as policewomen in % cities. In
these same cities only % Negro
women were employed in 1910.
Married women are eligible for
employment on the same basis
as single women. However, they
may find alternating shifts diff
cult tofit in with home response
bilities.
Women are usually required to
take a rigid physical examination
because of the high degree of
strength, agility, and endurance
needed in this work. Marked ply
steal handicaps are virtually pro-
hibitive in police work. Women
who are unusually short or stout
or obviously out of proportion in
height and weight may find it
difficult to qualify for this work.
Not all cities have age require
ments for police women, but it
was found that the maximum age
of entrance for both sexes is IS,
with FL the lowest age limit for
entrance. 1t is very difficult to
ener the work at the age of 40,
however, there are some women
of that age already working as

sick leave, vacation pay, and pen
sions at retirement.

aminations will soon be given by
the Civil Service commission to
women who are interested in Sc
curing jobs on the Metropolitan
Police force.
This announcement came soon
after the Women's bureau, U. S.
Department of Labor, had releas-
ed a study on "The Outlook for
Women in Police Work"
The study revealed that an in
creasing future use of police wo-
mems services seem likely, not
only because available statistics
indicate steady growth in this
field over a number of years, but
also because there is increasing
recognition of a need for police
participation in community pre-
ventive and protective programs.
There were more than 1000
women employed as police, mar
shals and sheriffs in 1910, accord
ing to this report. This doubled
the number thus employed 80
years ago. For all policemen,
sherriffs and marshalls taken to-
gether the rate Of increase from
1880 to 1910 was greater for
women law enforcement officers
than that for men, but in spite
of this apparent growth, less than
two percent Of the nations 172,-
900 law enforcement officers are
women.
The study shows that the first
woman was employed in the pro-
tective service occupation in 1898
in Chicago where she served as
patrolman. In 1905 a woman was
assigned to work with girls and
women in Portland, Ore, at the
time of Lewis and Clark exposi-
ton.
The Women's bureau stated
that as far as they could determine
the first Negro to be appointed
as policewomen was in Washing
ton, D. C. in 1919. But other re-
search has shown that Sadie
Black Hamilton, a Negro woman,
served as prohibition officer in
juvenile court of Allegheny
juvenile court of Allegheny
county, Penna., as early as 1909
and that another Negro woman,
Eula Ross Gray was prohibition
officer in the Municipal court OF
Washington back in 1914.
It is known, however, that there
are now eight Negro policewomen
in Washington, who compose
nearly one-third Of the total num-
Der of women on the force. Seven
are serving in the Women's bu-
reau of the Metropolitan Police
force, with an opening for one
more, and one serves on the Park
Police force.
These women are assigned to
all cases involving Negro girls
and women and have proved es'

opposition and joined together
Algiers and New Orleans which
have since remained inseparable.
A previous administration had
enacted a measure which had
separated the city from the re-
mainder of the parish, and includ-
ed only the "free" white citizens.
Dunn's measure read "that all
that portion of the parish of Or
leans situated on the left bank
of the Mississippi river, and all
that portion of the parish Of Or
leans and the city of New Orleans
and that all the inhabitants there
Of, shall be a body corporate"
Act Z of 1874 was the next
legislature enactment which gave
to New Orleans, additional ter
ritory. Prior to this act there
| were only six municipal districts.
The latter named act, however,

though there is little love for
"carpetbegger" government here
with it's Negro accomplices, New
Orleans from all indications was
not sold short on the science of
