Hub Of War: The Joint Chiefs Of Staff
BY John A. Giles

ITO THE left of the river
Il entrance on the second
floor, the long corridors of the
Pentagon are walled of and
sternly labeled: Restricted
Area-Keep Out" Two guards
stand at the door and any one
civilian or military-enter-
ing the sacred premises must
show a special Identification
badge.
Visitors are sometimes ad-
mitted to the restricted area,
but they must sign a ledger at
the entrance and must await
an escort from the Office be-
ing visited.
These are the working
quarters of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff-the Nations highest
military planners. Within
those $4,000 square feet de-
cisions are being made daily
which affect not only the
muddy, bloody battlefield in
Korea but the lives of millions
of Americans at home.
Actually, the four members
of the jos have their own
Offices elsewhere-Gen. Brad
ley, the chairman, on the sec
ond floor just to the right of
the river entrance: Gen. Col
lins. Army Chief of Staff, on
the third; Gen. Vandenberg,
Air Chief of Staff, and Ad-
miral Sherman, Chief of Naval
Operations, on the fourth.
The JCS quarters are in
habited by the picked off,
GERS of the joint staff-the
men who do the spadework
for the chiefs. The incubator
of the quarters where impor-
tant, far-reaching decisions
are made daily is a 20x40 room
in the inner recesses of the
area. The jos conference
room Is softly lighted by 10
big rectangular tubes in the
ceiling.
In the center of the room a
long mahogany table is sur
rounded with comfortable
leather chairs. There are
maps on three sides-but they
are ordinary maps. When the
joint chiefs get down to de-
tails, other maps and charts
are brought in and hung on
racks which may be covered
by thick, beige curtains.
Before the Korean war the
joint chiefs met on Tuesdays
and Thursdays and an agenda
always was prepared three to
four days in advance and cir
culated among the members.
It usually included from two
to eight subjects.
Now there are no agendas
and lanky, twangy Gen. Brad
ley is likely to call a meeting
on IS minutes notice. For
the first six weeks of the Ko-
rean war the joint chiefs met
on an average of twice a day
and one day-August 8. when
the first American counter
attack was underway-there
were three meetings. Some of

However, 1t is no secret that
a great many of the decisions

creasingly important since
the Korean war opened. 1t

The Joint chiefs decided to

car owners and drivers divvied up
a record $201 ,035 in prizes today
from the fastest-and the Short

Motor Speedway.
Johnny Parsons pocketed the
$57,458.63 top prize at the 500

The handsome Van Nuys, Calf,
racer won't keep it all, but drivers
of his kind usually get at least

The prize distribution got no
more than grudging acceptance
from one car owner-Ervin Wolfe,
Tulsa, Okla. The $8,388.63 which
Joie Chitwood and his relief driv-
er. Tony Bettenhausen, collected
for fifth place was about $13,510
less than Wolfe thought it should
be.
Unofficial results announced at
the end of the race Tuesday gave
the Wolfe special second place. A
check of the tape and charts
pushed the car down to fifth, and
Bill Holland, Miami, claimed the
$21.898.63 second prize.
Wolfe had t7c1 threatening to

Orioles Studying Plan
For Own Ball Park
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, June Jack
Dunn, youthful president of the
Baltimore Orioles. confirmed to-
day the club is studying plans to
build it's own baseball park.
The Orioles have been tenants
of the city's memorial stadium
since fire destroyed old Oriole
Park July 4. 1914.
Dunn said "the club cannot sur
vive under the present rental set
up of seven cents a head and
without the concessions. It now
costs the Orioles twice as much as
any club in the International
League.
"A major league owner told me
during the spring training season
that he could not survive if he
were forced to pay seven cents a
head rent with no revenue from
the concessions. Dunn said the
yearly attendance now had to total
100000 before the club could break
even. With its own park, that fig
ure could be halved. He said the
Orioles have lost about $200,000
during the last two seasons.

A bid to recapture the crown

his IL years in the professional
ring.
Ortiz won the crown August 7,
1912, by beating Lou Salica. He
lost it to Harold Dade January

months later.
Towel, with more than 100 vic

First baseman of all time by more
than few competent judges. He
was born in Manchester, Ohio. in
March, 1893. At the University of
Michigan he was a brilliant pitcher
and a brilliant eutfielder. He was
also as good a first baseman as
any one ever saw.
On the offensive side, George
hit .343 for 13 big league years. He
batted .407 in 1920 and .420 in
1922 before he was forced out of
the game in 1923 through serious
sinus trouble that affected his
optic nerve He was never quite
the same after that and except for
this tough break might have
equaled or surpassed Cobb's life
time 1867.
George also was one of the best
of base runners. In 1922 he picked
up 81 steals. He could easily have
