the years which have followed
World War H. Mr.. Truman told
the Congress. Despite the fact
that we have not sought this po-

this responsibility squarely and
carry it through. To achieve the
task which history has laid upon
our shoulders we must make GER

entertained the club yesterday
with personal anecdotes about
characters like Mark Twain.
Teddy Roosevelt and William Jen-
nings Bryan.
The veteran Evening Star car
toonist, who celebrated his 80th
birthday on April 2, recalled that
he once sat beside Mark Twain
at Gridiron dinner the year be-
fore the authors death and re-
lated part Of the conversation.
The humorist said he began to
believe he was a celebrity when
small boy rushed up to him on
a New York sidewalk and ex-
claimed. Il know who you are,
sir! Mark Twain bowed and
asked, "Who?" and his admirer
replied, Buffalo Bill"
Mark Twain told his dinner
companion that. as a youth. he
and fellow students visited Pales-
tine. Because their funds were
low. they tried for three days to
find boatman whom they could
afford to hire to take them out
on the Sea of Galilee.
Mark Twain said he finally told
the boatman. Il don't blame Peter
for walking on this sea-"
Mr.. Bergman said he enjoyed
his "grandstand seat" as a car

iron out details of overall stra-
tegie plans. which previously have
been laid out in theory.
II was continuation Of q con-
ference that was interrupted when
Gen. Eisenhower was taken IL
with serious stomach silment
He has been recuperatine AT Key
West for more than a week
The effect that rearmlng Of
Western Europe might have on
this country's armed forces IN
doubtedly will be one OF the prob
lens up for discussion.
Indirect Effect Seen.
President Truman told q news
conference yesterday that money
for military aid would be separate
from the overall defense budget.
But such vast OUTLAWS of funds for
arms unquestionably would have
al least an indirect effect on the
Nations defense setup.
II eventually II is decided 10 use
some OF the militarys budget for
rearmlng Western Europe the
drain likely would be heaviest on
the Army's equipment and budget
share since 1t has been the gen.
eral impression here that the i'm
mediate need was to build up the
strength of the ground forces OF
the nations in the path of any
Russian invasion.

Defense Secretary johnson will
join the Joint Chiefs this week

Wednesday.
So far AS is known. Mr.. John
son has not told the military lead
ers what he had in mind when
he told news conference he had
"a pretty fair conviction of what
missions should be given each
service. He added that the chiefs
would have "a chance to argue me
out of that conclusion.
1t is known that Gen. Eisen-
hover wants to get the Joint
Chiefs away from the idea that
their own usefulness and that
of their respective services are
contingent solely on the chang
ing amounts Of funds they get
from Congress each year.
Wants Specific Strategy.
ne NdIltS W get II4e NAHUM ,
strategic plans down to specific
details. so that in event of hos
tilities, the Army, Navy and Air
Force would know exactly what
they are to do and with what
weapons.
Since Gen. Eisenhower took
over as temporary presiding Of
flcer of the Joint Chiefs organi-
cation last February IL. he has
been holding long sessions in an
attempt to arrive at these specific
goals. Once these details are
nailed down, it is believed, there
will be less rivalry among the
three, branches. 3D..
The conference follows a blunt
warning TO the armed forces from
Congress that, unless public
squabbles are stopped, an investi-
cation would be made.

Speaker of the House Rayburn
made a strong plea for enactment
of broad rivers and harbors and
food control program.
Army Engineers Praised.
IF we don't stop erosion of our
lands in the next so years, we will
have to look to foreign lands to
raise what 75,000,0 900 of our peo-
pie must eat and wear" he warned.
Flood control and what we are
doing with our good earth has be-
come one Of our major problems.
We must carry on a great pro-
gram of flood control to prevent
erosion. to prevent our good earth
from being carried into the sea
never to come back again." Rep
resentative Rayburn said.
Chairman Mcclellan of the SEN
at Appropriations Committee, one
Of the veteran advocates Of river
and harbor projects in Congress,
also pleaded for a program Of nee

bluntly that President Truman

top bracket pay bill to go through
as soon as possible and that they
don't want any rank-and- file

The Administrations insistence
on clear sailing for the top
