Marshall as it related to work Of
his organization.
Gen. Marshall said the Defense
Department and joint chiefs Of
staff based their support ION the
advantages to national defense
that this project offers"
Mr.. Wilson said plans now call
for expansion of the American
steel industry so it will be pro-
ducing 100 million ingot tons
year by 1860. This expansion
will be useless, he said, If ores
cannot be obtained to keep the
facilities operating at capacity.
Mr.. Wilson, who in the past
has openly opposed the seaway.
added:
without the seaway we shall
become steadily more vulnerable
in this most strategic of all stra-
tegic industries. We must not
permit that to happen"

White House Explains
Hiring Of Australian a,
Vaughan 5 Secretary
Nv the kssoejo,ed Press


The White House has confirmed
that an alien-a pretty, 41-year-
| old Australians secretary to
Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan,
Army aide to President Truman.
Presidential Secretary Joseph

Mrs. Frances Veronica Jolly joined

Ia New York Journal-American
column. The column said Monday
that "a former Australian who got

Mr.. Short said Mrs. jolly had

ry Mitchell and Commissioner
Frances Perkins have made hur-
ried personal trips to Capitol Hill
in an effort to enlist the aid
of more friendly legislators. And
the commissions staff works in
day-to.day uncertainty. not know
ing just what is going to happen.
WHO'S TO BLAME?-The big
question is whether the Con-
gressional critics of the commits
sion are correct when they charge
that the commission has failed
to do a good job in converting the
Governments personnel system
to an emergency basis.
Some Of the criticism appears
justified. There's no doubt the
commission acted much too slowly
after the outbreak of the Korean
war in getting the Government on
an emergency personnel footing.
Too many of the old-timers at
the commission advocated a sort
of business as usual" attitude. 1t
wasn't until the Defense Depart
ment started to complain long
and loud and members Of Con-
gress also voiced criticism that
the commission started doing
something.
Once the commission got start
ed, however, it began to make up
for lost time. 1t has given the
defense agencies considerable au-
thority to hire directly. has facili-
tated the Government transfer
program and has helped the de-
tense agencies in recruitment.
There's still more to be done.
Whether the commission will have
to be prodded into doing these
necessary things remains to be
seen.
Some impartial observers feel
the commission won't become the
100 per cent effective agency 1t
ought to be. and have the conf
dence of Congress, until it has new
leadership. And there again. the
fault isn't entirely the commits
sion's.
Chairman Harry Mitchell IS we'll
over the 70-year retirement age.
He submitted his resignation sew
eral years ago but has remained
at the request of President Tru-
man. Mr.. Mitchell has been COM
mission chief for nearly Is years
and has done-a good job over the
years, but he is past the age for
effective. dynamic leadership. And
this is precisely what the commits
sion needs.
However. President Truman re-
fuses to appoint a successor. Just
why. nobody knows. Whenever
there is a barrage Of criticism. the
White House from time to time
discreetly let's it be known that a
new chairman will be appointed
"in a matter of weeks" but moth
ing ever happens. In fact, it's a
standing joke in Government per-
sonnet circles to inquire as to
what's the latest White House
communique on the situation.
The situation is unfair to Mr..
Mitchell also. He is ready for a
well-earned retirement, but being
good soldier. he is staying on
the job until the President says
otherwise. Some Administration
officials say it is hard job to pick
his successor, but there are at
least rs men available for the job
who would be excellent choices.
SHAKEUP-The Importance Of
new leadership in the commission
cannot be overstressed. It would
mean a shakeup of the commits
sion's "old guard" and the ap-
pointment of younger, more
progressive officials with new
and more modern ideas regarding
the Government personnel's set
up. Under the recent authority
granted the commission, its chair
