PERSISTENT ADMIRALS

Argument continued, however, re- garding the delivery of the atomic bomb. Despite the decision taken at Key West, the Admirals persist ed. They were so persistent that another conference was called by Forrestal at Newport, R. l., Aug 20, l948, to rehash the same thing.
 Once again it was decided that the Air Force should be respon- sible for delivery of the atomic bomb. But even then, the Admir- als' revolt persisted, and Secretary Forrestal, desperately anxious for harmony, finally called in Eisen- hover as umpire.
 It has only been since that time that the admirals have shifted their tactics and argued that the A-bomb was inhuman, barbaric, in- effective and not a decisive factor in time of war.
 Meanwhile the Bikini report, which tells the story of the bombs effectiveness, continues to be hush ed up by the Navy. Scientists say privately that its findings are so sensational as to make surface warships almost useless.

CRITICIZING THE CAB

An Alaska Development Board spokesman blasts the Civil Aeronautics Board for refusing to allow unscheduled airnes free rein in flying the north Herbert Hilscher says it is these lines which helped develop Alaska, with low freight and passengetr rates
 He says the board favors two scheduled airlneS and says they're enough. Perhaps if Hilscher would look at the record he would find the board isn't doing disfavors altogether
 Within the past year in Seattle two unscheduled liners crashed with great loss of life and property One of these planes had just completed flight from Alaska. Just why the only accidents lately have been unscheduled ships is queston-whether lack of in spection, lack of upkeep, or lack of something.
 It is true their fares and rates are cheap. But they don't take off until they've full load. Sched- ued operators fly each schedule whether they've got passenger 50 whether one pound of freight or 10 tons They naturally must charge more.
 The question of being developed by opportunists or by those who keep going whether the loads are good or bad is easily answered We prefer the man who keeps going matter what.

EISENHOWER OK'D B-s6

Statement No. 5-Admiral Den- field, chief of Naval Operations charged last week that the B-3f program had been expanded last April without consulting the Navy
 Statement No. 6-In April Ad- miral Denfeld joined the other Chiefs of Staff in OK'ing continu- ation of the B-36 program.
 This is one of the most signifi- cant and least known of the back stage maneuverings between the Air Force and the Navy. Here is what happened
 Louis Johnson, assuming the office of Defense Secretary in late March, found that a certain num- Der of B-36's had been ordered and that the final order of additional B-36's had not gone through. There fore, he asked Budget Director Pace to write letter to General Eisen- hover, copy of which was sent to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, asking whether the rest of the B-36 pro- gram was to proceed
 Eisenhower's answer, by telephone was that there was no need to reconsider the matter. Simultane- ously, the Joint Chiefs of Staff unanimously ruled-and this in cluded Denfeld-that the B-36 pro- gram was to go ahead

ALASKA DAY TOMORROW

It bright sunny day, 82 years ago tomorrow that American troops took command the sprawling 586000 square miles known Alaska. The ceremony was conducted at New Archangel better known to modern Territorial residents Sitka.
 An official report to Secretary of State Seward described the transfer ceremony as follows
 "The day brigth and beautiful. We fixed the hour of three and half o'clock for the transfer, , General Rosseau the first American commissioner, reported.
 "The command of General Davis, about 250 strong, marched up to the top of the eiainence on which stands governors house where the transfer made

T H HESE DAYS
 - B Y-- GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY
LODGING THE ISSUE

The United States Census Bureau gathers data on all subjects: How many people there are; what ages, whether white or black or other- wise; how employed and how hous- ed, married, single or indifferent, and so on. All this information is interesting, often vital, and occa- sionally amusing. The Census Bur- eau is a great organization and its publications are numerous. This article must not be taken as a criticism of that bureau, but rather as a discussion of phase of American life
 Such bureau ought not to be sensitive to objections to the gath ering of facts on particular sub jects. It should not become involv- ed in the horrible rule of political necessity. It should never dodge fact. Yet it will not ask, in 1850, whether you are affiliated with any religion or with none at all. That question is as valuable as whether you are married or single and how many children have you? Religion is an activity of a great many persons, there being in the United States some 250 varieties. It would be interesting to know how many belong to each, whether they are increasing or de- creasing; how many are just born that way or practice their faiths by conviction. It is not idle cur

NAVY FACES ABSOLESCENCE

Significantly, Admiral Gallery al- 0 stated
 Tt has been assumed, at least implicitly, that the next war will not be much different from the last one. This assumption is basil cally wrong, and if we stick to it the Navy will soon be obsolete"
 Following the Gallery memo, the Navy did stage an all out fight to take over delivery of the A. bomb This was what the contro- versy over the super -airplane car rier was all about Two vitally im- portant conferences were held to decide this question, and the first meeting, the famous Key West con- ference was called by Secretary Forrestal March II, 1948, decided the following two basic policies:
 l. Strategic bombing, in other words delivery of the A-bomb should be the responsibility of the Air Force.
 2. Anti-submarine warfare should be the responsibility of naval avia- tion.
 This latter point received stant attention, but there was quite ar argument over whether the Navy or the Air Force should battle

jor consideration today in the war plans of the Air Forces and of naval aviation"
 Statement No. 3-Naval testi- mony presented before the Armed Services Committee last week was that the A-bomb would do little damage a short distance from the target and that its importance was being over emphasized by the Army, Air Force and Secretary of De- fense
 Statement No. 4-Early in 1948, Adm. Dan Gallery wrote memo which for about year became the Navy's textbook in its battle against the Air Force. The memo read
 The next war will be lot diff ferent from any previous one. It seems obvious that the next time our Sunday punch will be an atomic bomb aimed at the enemy capitols or industrial centers and that the outcome of the war will be determined by strategic bomb ing. The war will be won by whichever side is able to deliver the atomic bomb to the enemy and at the same time protect it's own territory against similar delivery
 T think the time is right now, continued Admiral Gallery, "foI the Navy to start an aggressive campaign aimed at proving that the Navy can deliver the atomic bomb more effectively than the Air Forces can.
 If the Navy makes delivery of the atomic bomb it's major mission, and if we develop the proper ships, planes and tactics, the Navy can become the principal offensive branch of the national defense sys- tem-the branch which actually de- flyers the knockout blow"

iosity to desire to have this infor-
 nation; it provides a clearer view
 of the actual pattern of thought in
 this country.
 Apparently, the Census Bureau
 has avoided this subject as mat ter of factual data, although 1t
 has, on occasion, conducted special
 censuses of religious bodies, which may or may not be of value be- cause the religious bodies have diff i iferent yardsticks and thereby pro
 duce different results, some of
 which may not be accurate but
 rather appraisals or guesses. Also 1 many of them are optimistic.
 | It is interesting to note that iprior to the 194O census, the bureau
 received many letters on the sub ject, both pro and con, many ob- | jecting to being asked whether he
 ever had loathsome disease which
 he could only have got by a volun- tary act, but I cannot begin to grasp the mentality of the person who resents answering an objective | question concerning his political or religious affiliations. l suppose some assume that it is an invas- sion of privacy, but they will ans wer whether they are married or l t1,ta Je tNts 1-
 deed. Affiliation is right in this country amply protected by the constitution: it is right so secure that many wear emblems on their lapels or other devices to indicate affiliations. It seems to be cow
 ardly for a person to belong to something, to partake of its activ- ities, and then to deny it.
 , Apparently the religious "denom- ination themselves are not in con- plete agreement as to the advisa-
 bility of collecting information on religious utilization
 This is very difficult to under stand. Why should these bodies not want us to know the facts? They provide the statistics; why
 not have them checked by an ob- jective body not directly concerned with necessity of proving popularity
 or indicating conversions, or even
 raising funds? It would be of great value, at this moment, for instance,
 to know how many young people,
 says ages 21-35, are willing to de- clare directly, in response to ques- tion, that they believe in God; that they practice that belief be means of a particular creed, canon, and
 ritual that they practice it pri- /, vately in their hearts, or commun- ! ally through an association.
 | Certainly such data would pro- vide much food for thought and ! discussion and could give us the
 material for an appraisal of the ! next years of American political orientation For the truly relig- ious person cannot accept Marx : ian dialectics, no matter what the 1 professors teach him. He will resist
 a biologic interpretation of mans
 place in the cosmos If Marx rules
 our youth, we ought to know it..
 If the churches are growing in strength, the American tradition is
 safe. If the churches are dying
 off, what is taking their place in
 the associations of youth? These
 facts need to be known, but they need to be gathered factually and | collectively.

Red Tape and Dolls
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 Two hundred dolls for children overseas given by children in Canada snarled in customs red tape out in Pittsburgh The donors can't afford to pay the duty. Customs officials say the donors can claim the dols estimate their value, and then file reasons for tariff exemption That obviously, will take time, and perhaps the children overseas won get their dolls for Christmas, after all
 This surely is a case in which little official imagination and initiative are needed. The tariff laws of the United States were not enacted to pre- vent gift of dolls to foreign children or to harass those who are trying to make the gift. Undoubtedly the customs officers following out routine regula- tions But the laws were made for man and not man for the laws There must be some way to waive their application in a good cause.

New Years Resolution
for the Home Cook

let's resolve not to settle for
anything but the very best olive
oil-it isn't much more expensive
in the long run because we use
much less of it.
Let's resolve to eat more fruit
and cheese for dessert and give
the heavy sweets, the cakes and
the pastries a rest for a while.
This especially Is advisable after
all the holiday feasting. Good for
the digestion and the waistline.
too!
Let's resolve to give thought to
turning out the simplest dish in
perfect form. A humble rice pud-
ding should be a thing Of milky
goodness, full of cinnamon and
nutmeg-not a gooey thick mass
Of custard and rice. A baked po-
tato scooped out, whisked with
butter and little milk, and re-
turned to brown in the shell is
far more delectable than just
plain spud.
And let's make up our minds to
treat vegetables with the tender
ness and care they deserve-and
not to overlook them or drown
them In water. To drain them
well, and season them with ina
gination. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO

Everybody is making resolutions
this week end. A few suggestions
of what we may avoid in the art
Of preparing, serving and con-
suming good food:
First. let's resolve to get out
OF a gastronomic rut. Let's try
out new and weird sounding dishes
for a change. Let's investigate
the possibilities of the lesser
known meats and vegetables, in
stead Of sticking to the same old
roast and potatoes all the time.
Second, let's resolve to use more
fish in our menus. Don't let's
conf1ne it to fast days-let's learn
to enjoy it for itself, several
times a week. There are so many
varieties Of fish that it should
never become monotonous. Nearly
every one knows and likes she'll
fish and such standbys as tuna,
salmon, haddock and so on, but
let's take note Of such oddities as
eel and Squid.
Let's resolve to keep our salads
simple and prepared with an eye
to texture and color contrast. Let's

(From Miss r. r. T., ArlingtonJ
To Mrs. w. P. S.: Bless your
heart, you do sound like you are
having a time for yourself. If
you haven't discovered the fact,
music will solve many problems
with children. Plain singing will
do. Sing and dance and march.
All through your singing, march
your head off. It helps. If you
will write to me through RICH, I
will send you the address Of a
place to write that furnishes a
helpful pamphlet in dealing with
children.
(From Mrs. S. r. B., WashingtonJ
Get your children outside. They
have colds because they are In
the house too much. They may
have snif1es or runny noses, but
if not running a fever (Which T
doubt they do, 10 out of IL
months) then get them out in
the air at least one to three hours
daily.
They will sleep better and play
better.
They could not possibly possess
that boundless energy If they
were really i'll, so give them some
good fresh air. This vicinity has
had some wonderful weather
these past few months, and
though even cold, but clear, the
air does do wonders.
You will find a walk will help
you. too. Let your house go, and
get yourself and kiddies out In the
