'lntemperate' Critics
In Navy Warned
BY the Associated Press

The Navy threatened yesterday
to punish other naval oficers-as
it did Capt. John G. Crommelin-
If they engage in "intemperate
criticism of the Defense Estab-
liShment and it's leaders.
Admiral Forrest P. Sherman
said Capt. Crommelin had been
furloughed indefinitely with half
pay, effective April /, for failing
to obey orders to stop his public
attacks on Pentagon policies.
In q letter made public by the
Navy. the Chief of Naval Opera
tions asserted:
1.-THE good of the service and
the welfare of the entire national
defense structure require that
there be an end to intemperate
public criticism of responsible Off
cials and agencies of the National
Defense Establishment by officers
on active duty in the Navy"
In Sacramento, Calf, yester-
day, Capt. Crommelin told serv-
ice club:
We've got to capitalize on our
mass brainpower because Rus
sian manpower outnumbers our
manpower."
In his first public address since
being furloughed, Capt. Crom-
melin sajd Navy policy is to do
what Is right. But there is an
other philosophy, he said, which
calls upon men ito do nothing and
to tell the superiors what they
want to hear"

French Police Probe
Three Mysteries Of
International Intrigue
BY the Assoeioted Press

PARIS, Mar. 17.-French Sc
curity police grappled today with
three separate mysteries of pos
sible international intrigue, in
cluding the death of a man found
carrying British intelligence serv-
ice envelopes.
The body of a man found by
railroad tracks near Metz in
Eastern France yesterday was
Identified as Emile Stemmler,
born in NeuSatZ, Germany,
naturalized British citizen since
March %, 1889.
Envelopes of the British intel
ligence service were found in the
luggage by his body, police said.
Death was due to a skull frac-
ture.
At the Franco-Belgian border
yesterday, police arrested four
Czechoslovakian and Yugoslav
citizens.
Police said the four carried
varied and contradictory identity
papers and that papers in a for
eign language" were seized. The
four men were taken to Lille for
questioning.
Police said Mr.. Stemmler was 81
years old, and that because of this
they leaned to the theory he might
not have been secret agent on
active service. He had a ticket to
Strasbourg, and a passport valid
for all European nations. They
speculated he fell or jumped from
the Metz-Strasbourg train.
At MulhouSe, also in Eastern
France, police were trying to learn
the real identity of young Ger
man girl arrested recently while
trying to enter Switzerland secret
ly. She had given the name of
Ingrid Won Buelov, and said her
father was Gen. Won Buelov.
jailed in Holland. Dutch police
have advised the French this is
not true.
The girl had no papers and no
luggage when picked up.

munist-controlled. House Concurrent Resolu-
tin 212 on this subject, carries my name.
Senate debate on President Truman's Re-
organization Plan No. IL, to abolish the office
of general counsel on the National Labor Re-
lations Board brought out some of the incon-
sstencies which politics engenders. The final
vote, $3.50, which killed the proposal con-
firmed the charge Mr. Truman made: 1.-THE
history of this matter leads me to believe that
most of the opponents of Plan II are more
concerned with politics than with the merits
of the proposal"
Ever since the release of the Hoover Com
mission Report, we've heard little but praise
for its recommendations, especially from the
Republican party. Some of them even ap-
peared, last year, before the House Education
and Labor Committee to urge adoption of
those recommendations, including Plan H.
And last year, Ohio's senior senator, Mr. Taft
offered this change as an amendment to the
Taft-Hartley Act. But when the matter came
to a vote, lot of former supporters seemed
to have changed their minds
Plan IL is in accord with the Hoover Com
mission recommendation "that all administra-
tive responsibility be vested in the chairman
of the commission" The position of the gen.
eral counsel is further described by the
Hoover Commission Task Force Report as
anomalous" unstable" "in peculiarly ex-
posed position and "inevtably subject to
Division of responsibility between the gen.
eral counsel and the Board has produced moth
ing but confusion and inefficiency. 1t is hard
to understand how those who have been cry
ing the loudest for greater efficiency and
economy in government administration could
vote against this plan to reorganize the
NLRB.
The House will be unable to do anything
about the proposal since a veto in either
house kills the issue.
Executive sessions of the Education and
Labor Committee began this week on two sub
committee bills to assist schools in areas af-
fected by government installations. One pro-
vides for current expenditures and the other
is construction bill.
The committee is inclined to approve these
as a one-package bill so as to keep them sepa-
rate and distinct from the Federal grant-n-aid
concept of Federal Aid to Education. This is
logical since this legislation, rather than pro-
vide a grant-in-aid, would correct the prob
lem which is totally the responsibility of gov
ernment utilizing land in the affected school
districts.
Sincerely,
THOMAS H. BURKE M. c.

as well as by advertising competition When
company judged by these standards, can show
that the manner of its past performance has
been in the public interest, it escapes dissolu-
ton or ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of its monopo-
listic position in the economy.
The main advantages of the proposed bill
are threefold First, it is not general dissolu-
ton decree against all industrial giants 1t is
not death sentence for big business merely
on the grounds that it is big Instead, the bill
provides for a careful selective case-by case
approach to cope with such concentrated eco
nomic power as is conducive neither to a
maintenance of efficiency or the encourage
ment of competition. Secondly, the bill pro-
poses to benefit not only consumers and the
general public but corporate investors well.
1t does so simply by requiring that no business
be so big that its component parts could func-
tion more efficiently as separate units than as
parts of the whole. Thirdly the bill imple-
ments dissolution proceedings by more So
phisticated techniques than the hammer and
tongs method available under the Sherman
Act
Whereas the Sherman Act equips the JUS
tice Department with a blunt axe, this bill
provides the enforcement agency with set of
fine surgical instruments In this connection,
it might be noted that Senator Taft recently
recommended that our lawmakers Should
consider whether we should place a limit on
the proportion of any industry which be
controlled by any company and whether it is
possible to make the Sherman Act more def
mite and effective"
In conclusion, let me repeat the warning of
Senator Murray who some years ago said: "If
we believe that our system of free enterprise
should be preserved, If we believe that the
