Marshall Centralizinq
Control OF Activities in
Defense Department
Generals and AdmiruIs
Will Have Larger Part
In Top PoIiey-Moking
By John A. Giles

Greater centralized control over
some Defense Department ac-
tivities is planned under a re-
organization program inaugurated
by Defense Secretary Marshall, it
was learned yesterday.
However, the generals, and the
adnlirals Of the Army, Navy and
Air Force will have a larger part
in the top policy making opera
tionS than under the regime of
the generals predecessor. Louis
johnson.
Two appointments late last
week were the forerunners of the
reorganization program. The de-
tails of that plan are still to be
ironed out, however, from the
recommendations of the business
management firm Of Robert Heller
and Associates of Cleveland, and
the ideas of Gen. Marshall and
his deputy, Robert A. Lovett.
Control to Be frightened.
Mrs. Anna Rosenberg, whose
appointment as an assistant sec
retary Of defense was signed by
President Truman yesterday, will
centralize direction of manpower
policies which heretofore have
been shuttled around by the three
services and no less than four
top-level boards.
In announcing her formal ap-
pointment, Presidential Press Sec
retary Charles G. Ross told re-
porters there was nothing to re-
ports that the choice of a woman
for this post presaged a call for
a draft of women. "She was ap-
pointed because she is one of the
leading experts on manpower,"
said Mr.. Ross.
John D. Small, as new chairman
of the Munitions Board. is ex-
pected to exercise tighter control
over procurement policies. These
will become of far greater i'm
portance as more billions are spent
for defense and the civilian econ
omy feels the pinch.
It is the Marshall-Lovett plan
to reorganize the department
more along business lines, with
Gen. Marshall as sort of chair
man of the board and Mr.. Lovett
as president and general manager.
Work Overlapped Often.
Both top officials feel that the
huge military establishment has
been organized to meet daily prob
lens as they arise-such as the
appointment of special commit
tees to handle specific subjects

days election, declared the Tru-
man administration was repudi-
ated in it's conduct of the Ma
tions affairs in general.
The G. o. P. national chairman
suggested that President Truman
change his dangerous course"
and discharge Secretary of State
Acheson and Secretary of Agri-
culture Brannan.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
the long-ailing Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, of Michigan,
expects to be on the job January
3 when the new Congress steps
in. 1t is expected that he may
seek to temper G. o. P. fire on for
eign policy issues. Out of action
for many months, Senator VAN
has a record of seeking
to settle differences and present
a united American front to the
world.
Attention Called to Imitation.
AS for domestic issues, another
Republican, Senator Wiley of
Wisconsin, fresh from a re-elec-
tion victory, demanded quick con-
gressional attention to the grave
inflationary situation"
Senator Wiley also called for
new efforts to achieve economies
in the vast rearmament program,
declaring:
cit is an national tragedy the
way the prices of military items
have been allowed to leap since
the Korean conflict started"
Senator Wiley urged that Sem
ate and House committees sum-
mon Government leaders to review

BY the Associofed Press

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Com
munist backed Second World
Peace Congress, scheduled to start
Monday in Sheffield, England. to-
night ordered all but one Of its
sessions shifted to Warsaw. the
capital of Communist Poland. Or
ganizers said British security
measures were responsible.
Britain refused visas for the
most prominent delegates and her
watch at air fields and seaports
throttled the flow of lesser dele
gates headed for Sheffield, Brit
ish industrial center.
The Sheffield meeting, original
ly scheduled for all next week, will
be confined to an opening session
Monday. The remainder of the
conference will be held in Warsaw
November 1921. The first such
congress was held in Paris in 1949.
Laborites Called Rude.
A statement by the British Or
ganizing committee, assailing "un-
precedented discourtesies, said
the British Labor Governments s

impossible for the congress to

November IA in response to a Sc
curity Council invitation extended
September 20 for the Communists
to be represented in Council talks
on the Peiping charge that sealing
off of Nationalist-held Formosa
by the United States 7th Fleet
constitutes aggression against
China.
Second Bid Rejected.
2. The Chinese Communists, ir
another communication later tc
Mr.. Lie, said they rejected a Sc
curity Council invitation issued
November for Peiping to send q
delegation here to talk about
American charges that the Chi
nese Communists have intervened
in the North Korean fighting.
8. The Chinese Communists pro-
posed, in turn. that the Security
Council consider together their
charges concerning Formosa and
of other American aggression in
Korea and air attacks on Man
churia.
The early view of delegates and
officials here, on the basis of the
communications received from
Chou, was that the Korean situa-
ton undoubtedly would be dis
cusSed.
Warren r. Austin, American
delegate. told the Council last
Wednesday in voting for the in
vitation to the Chinese Reds that
he had a number of questions to
ask their representatives If and
when they came.
Since the Chinese Communists
want to talk about American ag-
gression in Korea, Mr.. Austin is
expected here to have an oppor-
tunity to ask his questions.
Resolution Before Council.
The Council has before it a
resolution proposed by six coun-
tries-the United States, France,
Britain, Cuba, Ecuador and Nor
way-calling for the withdrawal
of Communist Chinese forces from
Korea and promising that Com
munist China's boundaries will be
respected.
This resolution is expected to
be discussed when the Korean
question comes up and the Chi
nese Communists are at the table
There was no indication when
the Council would meet on Korea
again for another round of talk
Chou's first telegram to Mr.
Lie was merely a short notice
that his delegation would leave
November IA. It will be headed
by WI Hsiu-chuan. He has beer

invitation of November 8 was

Shortly after the text of thu

acted, and said China could no

In the promotion of savings bond
sales by Mrs. Georgia Neese
Clark, Treasurer of the United
States, at their 10th anniversary
luncheon held yesterday at the
Maynower Hotel.
Guest speaker at the luncheon,
which was given by local chapters
of B'nai Birth Women. Mrs.
Clark said the $2,126,25o quota of

ence Drive"
The luncheon address was the
highlight of the final session Of
a four-day meeting Of the coun-
Gil, which represents 115,000
women in the United States and
Canada.
Discussing the many ways in
which women control national
economy, the speaker declared
that they owe a great response
bility to the maintenance and
preservation of free enterprise.
1--WE can't work at democracy on
a part time basis. It's the job
of a full-time citizen" she said.
The Importance of women in
the savings bond program was
stressed by the Treasury official
who said that the safety of the
country is increased by the indi-
vidual savings of the people. She
pointed out that 200 billion dol
lars are in liquid savings accounts
at the present time, of which. 4812
billion are in savings bonds, and
added that the amount exceeds
the entire National income of
1888.
Urging greater participation in
the work of women in selling
bonds, Mrs. Clark said that
single vote has often changed
the course of history. Never let
it be said that one woman's lack
of work lost the battle for free
