This Changing World
Low Morale in Navy Believed Due
To Resentment Against Politicians

armed services have made what
would have been routine matter
INFO a major incident.
The case of Capt. Burke, who
was we'll known in the Navy as
"31-knot Burke" but was almost
totally unknown to the public,
was even worse. Despite Official
denials there appears to be no
doubt that he was removed from
the selection list, for his name was
due to come before the selection
board last month.
Capt. Burke's record, from the
day he left Annapolis in 1923
until he came to Washington this
year to head Operation 49," was
superb. He was regarded by all
his superiors as the outstanding
man in the Navy-for his physical
courage. his comprehension and
execution of orders and his un-
derstanding of the problems OF
the Navy's role in national de-
fense.
There was no need for any
member Of the selection board to
let it leak out" that Capt.
Burke's name had been removed
on orders from civilian heads of
the armed services. This is obvi-
GUS, since his record as a naval
officer told the story of his abil-
ity. His number" was high
among the captains eligible for
selection to flag rank and in
evitably would have been pre-
sented to the admirals who,
without exception, considered him
the best qualified officer for ad-
vancement in the Navy.
List Not Yet Made Public.
The promotion list has not yet
been made public and because OF
the storm raised by the revelation
that his name was not included,
lit may be kept in President Tru-
mans files for some time. The
President has discretionary power
to make public promotion lists
whenever he likes. Last summer
the Army promotion list was held
up for about three months. The
President also has power by law
to remove any name from the
list, without explanation.
Mr.. Truman has denied that he
has removed any officer from the
list sent to him from the Penta-
gon. This unquestionably is true.
But it is doubtful. II he reads 1t
carefully, that he will find the
name Of Capt. Burke on 1t.
President Truman obviously was
not informed about what the top
men in the Pentagon considered
a minor matter. While the Presi-
dent has the power to remove any
name he wishes from the selec-
ton list, he has no power to add
another name. Hence. he cannot
come to the defense of his civilian
aides. They will have to bear the
brunt Of public and congressional
criticism for undermining the
morale Of one branch OF the ma
tional defense.

one.
The second headline was based
on a statement by Senator Scott
Lucas of Illinois. He revealed his
intention to buck once again the
solid Dixiecrat lineup within his
own party against civil rights leg
islation and, as majority leader,
he is in position to precipitate
a decisive fight.
The first headline, however, was
based only on the purpose of sew
eral Republican Senators to per-
suade their own party leaders to
join in this effort. How persuasive
they will be remains to be seen.
Plenty of Argument.
They have plenty Of argument.
There is the accepted fact that
to regain control of certain North
ern industrial States they must
recapture the Negro vote that
once was theirs. There is the
brooding shadow Of Abraham Lin
coin, still claimed as the party S
spiritual sponsor.
All this they had. of course. last
winter, plus the declaration Of the
grim determination Of their Sen
ate Leader, Senator Kenneth
Wherry, to join in the elimination
of the filibuster as a legislative
tactic, the tactic by which civil
rights have been defeated in the
past. They have now, however
the sad recollection Of Senator
Wherry's default. They remem-

On the Other Hand
Republicans May Follow New Jersey
Lead, Not California, Michigan, ct al

hands with the Dixiecrats to make
filibustering even easier than 1t
had been before.
But these hopeful Republicans,
Senators Ives of New York. Smith
Of New Jersey and some others,
have a new and potent argument.
It is the reelection of Alfred E.
Driscoll. Republican. as COVER
nor of New Jersey. The governor
has been an unremitting champion
of civil rights in his State, with a
record of achievement as well as
championship. In the election OF
a few weeks ago he carried num-
Der OF Negro districts that had
been overwhelmingly Democratic
for years.
Action Not Promises.
So, it is urged, New Jersey has
shown the way for a Republican
comeback on the national scene
1t requires action, rather than q
repetition of unkept promises. And
the action will have to be taken
in Congress, since the record made
by the party in other States last
year was quite different from that
made in New Jersey.
In California a fair employment
practices bill was buried in COM
mittee, with the Democrats voting
almost solidly to bring 1t out and
the Republicans voting almost SOL
idly to keep it there.
In Michigan a similar bill, advo-
vacted by the new Democratic gov
ernor Mennen Williams, was
smothered by the Republican ma
jorities in both houses of the legis-
lature.
The same story was told in the
Legislatures Of Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Illinois. And in none Of these
States could the blame be given
to the filibuster or the Dixiecrats,
the legislatures not being pos
sessed of either Of these legisla-
tive anachronisms.
The Democratic Policy Com
mittee of the Senate has decided
to call up the McGrath FEPC bill
not later than February. The Re-
publican Policy Committee when
it meets in January will consider
the action to be taken by the
minority Senators. Senator Ives
and his group are convinced they
should support the McGrath bill
and join in enforcing cloture on
the fiilbuster that is certain to be
! attempted.

Diplomatic
Parties

By Katharine M. Brooks

Two fetes on the diplomatic
calendar yesterday were cocktail
parties. One was that of the Hon.
duran Ambassador and Sonora de
Vale who entertained in honor
of the Assistant Secretary Of
State and Mrs. Edward G. Miller.
jr. The hosts and their honor
guests stood in the drawing room
of the embassy on Sixteenth
street to greet the 200 or more
who called. The rooms were dec
GRATED with seasonal flowers, and
members of the embassy staff and
their wives assisted through the
reception hours. In the company
were diplomats from Latin Amer
lea and officials of the State De-
partment.
The other party was in the ma
ture Of house warming given by
the Military and Air Attache OF
the Pakistan embassy and Mrs.
N. A. X. Raza. 1t was the first
party they have had in their new
home at 3725 Fessenden street
which they leased in the early
autumn. They have been in
Washington since July and had
an apartment at the Shoreham.
Yesterday Mrs. Raza chose a
gray chiffon gararah elaborately
embroidered in red and silver,
which was extremely becoming to
her black hair and olive skin.
The $50 guests were, for the
most part, officers of the United
States services and military and
air attaches of other diplomatic
missions in Washington as well
as officers Of the joint STATS on
duty here. Also in the group
were officials of the State Depart
ment. Mrs. M. A. H. Ispahani,
wife of the Pakistan Ambassador,
and her sister-in-law, Mrs. M. M.
who is staying with her
at the embassy, were among coun- T
trywomen of the hosts at the
party.
