Continuity in Defense Post

Secretary of Defense Lovett is demonstrating
his usual sense of responsibility and conscientious
concern for the interests Of the Nation in his
suggestion that q postelection continuity be
established in the civilian administration Of his
department
To assure this, MIR. Lovett proposes two
alternative plans His first and preferred one
would be for the November winner-either
General Eisenhower or Governor Stevenson-to
name representative Immediately to sit in the
councils and become acquainted with the work.
ings of the Department of Defense. Obviously
it would be an advantage if such person were
to be the next Secretary of Defense, but that is
not essential. His second plan would be for the
new President and Secretary to retain certain
key appointive civilian officers who are now
in the department to coach the incoming
replacements.
The urgency of the times and the magnitude
of the responsibilities which We have assumed
in the overall effort for defense of the free
world make it particularly vital that continuity
in the military program should not be interrupted
by political campaign. There is no time for
leisurely transition from one administration to
another. Budget estimates for the fiscal year
1854 already are being drawn and other planning
functions are projecting departmental interests
even further into the future These jobs cannot
be done quickly and at the last minute; nor can
a new staff of top civilian administrators walk
in with the immediate qualifications to discharge
them.
1t would be most fortunate for the national
interests If Mr.. Lovett would remain In his
present post and his reappointment would reflect
credit on whichever presidential candidate wins
in November. The Secretary has made it clear,
however, that he does not wish to do this and
his suggestion for establishing continuity OF
responsible and effective administration is .

seriously by both presidential candidates.

Rokosi's New Title

The Hungarian parliament" whose members
exist merely to carry out the legislative orders of
the Kremlin's puppet Communist regime in
Budapest, has now elected" Matyas Rakosi to be
Premier of the country. The action seems to
have little meaning beyond formalizing govern
Ing situation that has been in effect for several
years past.
To pave the way for this change in office,
the obscure and wholly unimportant Istvan Dobi
has resigned from the premiership and moved
into the presidency of the parliamentary execu-
tive body. In his new position, he will be just
as much powerleSs fgurehead as he has been
up to now The real boss all along has been
Matyas RakoSi, and his sudden elevation from
Vice Premier to Premier accordingly changes
nothing as far as running Hungary is concerned.
The only thing that appears to have happened
Is that the country'S top ruling personality has
taken on more imposing title Heretofore ever
since the small Communist minority seized power
In Budapest and created another Soviet satellite
} in 1947, he has gone through the make-beleve of
playing a second-in- command role, but nobody
has been fooled by that; he has long been known
as the head man of Moscow's puppet Hungarian
tyranny.
It is not precise, of course, to refer to Premier
Rakosi as the real boss of Hungary. The real
boss is the Soviet Union, and he u.s. and has been,
and will continue to be-uness and until he
slips and is purged-one of the most obedient
and ruthless stoogeS that the Stain government
has anywhere in the world. The fact that he has
assumed the title of Premier merely suggests that
he now has the Hungarian people under such
tight control that it is no longer necessary for
him to masquerade behind lesser title. This is
another way of saying that the country whose
independence he has done so much to destroy is
caught tighter than ever in the grip of the
Kremlin. Here is one of the great and grim
classic examples of how effective Communist
subversion and treason can be in wping out the
freedom Of nations.

Up goes food. Down goes America.
Our boys will be cheap men toiling for
dear food. Since Truman became Presi-
dent. the world horde has grown by 100
millions-an extra North America of
folks but not an extra acre of good soil
to feed them. So we exhaust our soil to
feed them. Ten years hence, 260 mil
lion more people win demand our food.
Shall we give it up? If we do, our
grandchildren will have to work more
than half of the time just for food.
Thus they will become cheap men,
like the serfs in the great slave states Of
Asia. Truman doesn't know what he is
doing. Nor does any other politician.

Syracuse: Why do we refer to. a
saying or proverb as IAN old saw?
It always reminds me of an old
worn-out implement for saving
wood.
Answer: This particular saw
means "a saying" hence, "a maxim
or proverb." It is akin to the word
saga, "a tale" which is of Icelandic
origin. Incidentally, saga is pro-
nounced either SAH-guh, or say
guh. The latter Is the prevailing
pronunciation, I believe.
Buffalo: A commentator spoke
of American soldiers returning
home in "disheveled uniforms. f"
This has an Illogical sound to me,
but I do not know why.
Answer: Strictly speaking, "dis-
heveled" describes disorder of the
hair, for the word comes from the
latin dis "a prefix denoting mega
tion) plus capillus, 1.-The hair of the
head" However, long literary
usage has established the figurative
meaning "disarrayed; disarranged;
untidy."

Mr.. Muzzy opened the king of
diamonds and followed with a small
diamond to his partners ace. Mr..
Meek returned the five OF clubs
and Mr.. Champion carefully played
the king so that he could reach
dummy later in the club suit.
The ace of clubs won and Mr..
Muzzy's best return at this point
was another club. Apparently he
thought there was another diamond
trick to be had, however, and he
laid down the queen of that suit.
Mr.. Meek discarded a club and Mr..
Champion ruffed.
With three tricks already lost,
the only hope seemed to lie in
squeeze. Mr.. Champion cashed the
queen, the jack and the ace of
spades. Mr.. Muzzy followed suit
once, then dropped the trey and
four Of clubs. The last spade was
led and Mr.. Muzzy shed the five of
hearts. The six of hearts was
played from the board.
Do you see now what Mr.. MuZzy
could have accomplished by return
ing a club Immediately after win

pion would have had no entry to
dummy after trUlmps were out.
At trick nine Mr.. Champion led
to dummy's queen, Mr.. Muzzy dis
carding the eight of diamonds.
Here Mr.. Muzzy had left three
hearts to the queen, and the jack
of diamonds to beat dummy's ten
spot. He showed his cards to his

the deuce Of hearts from his hand.
Mr.. Muzzy fidgeted. Obviously he
couldn't let 60 the jack of dia-

eight Of hearts, whereupon Mr..
Champion won the rest with the

It may sound startling, but it's

Because many Of them simply
