Gen. j. Lawton Collins, Army
chief of staff had this to say
on the subject:
Certainly transport of ground
forces and their equipment by
air would be a vital factor in
the battles of any future war.
Therefore, our ultimate goal is
to have all Army combat ele-
ments-except armored divisions
and their supporting units
capable of making airborne
assaults.
This means that the Army
must maintain the nucleus of
trained and equipped airborne
divisions capable of employment
in airborne assaults, and that
the remainder of the Army
must, insofar as possible. be
organized. trained and equipped
in such a manner as to be air
transportable."

He sucked a candy drop as he

that he was old and tired.
AS S o'clock passed he pulled
out a gold pocket watch and
peered into it from a distance
of 3 inches. But he put it
back and raised his stick again.
And through it all his memory
seemed redoubtable as ever.
Hardly once, in the four hours,

ended on a sour note. In World
War II he served two years as
executive vice chairman of the
War Production Board. He per-
formed notable work in lifting
war production, particularly of
aircraft. But he quit in a huff
because of differences over re-
conversion policy with WPB
Chief Donald Nelson.
Mr.. Wilson returned to WASH
ington in 1850 only upon re-
ceiving the fiat assurance of
President Truman that he would
have absolute authority in the
mobilization field.
Because of his big business
background, Mr.. Wilson was the
constant target of organized
labor and other liberal groups.
And by his actions he didn't
make his own road any smooth
er. The use of a little diplo-
matte salve here and there
would have made life in Wash
ington much happier for him.
Ignored Window Dressing
For example, a few weeks
after Mr.. Wilson arrived the last
time, the defense mobilizer in
CURED the wrath of labor by
fatty refusing to appoint
union official to a high position
on his staff. Mr.. Wilson took
the position that he would
choose his own top assistants
and there was no opening for
a labor man. He could have
avoided the whole bitter con-
troversy by fixing up a bit of
window dressing for the union
people in the beginning, some
thing he finally did in the end
anyway.
Mr.. Wilson'S lack of diplomacy
was demonstrated again week
before he resigned. In fact, it
came at a critical time in the
steel Wage-price talks. He told
reporters that the pay recon-
mendations of the Wage Stabil-
ization Board in the steel case
were SO high as to pose "a seri-
Gus threat" to the authorization
program. The fact that Mr..
Wilson made the charge pub
licly about the action of a board
that supposedly was under his
supervision not only created
bad feeling in official circles
but stirred the anger of CLIO
President Philip Murray and his
steel union as well.
The Wage Board was in all
most constant touch with Mr..
Wilson before it made it's steel
wage proposals. He could
scarcely have been completely
unaware of what the board
would recommend. Even if he
had been completely surprised
by the boards findings, Mr..
Wilson certainly could have
handled the situation better if
he had dealt with it quietly.
Friends attributed Mr.. Will
sons Washington troubles to
an absolute honesty and forth
rightness of character which
often made it impossible for
him to disguise his feelings.
They admit that such admirable
traits sometimes make Govern
ment operations difficult.

In a sense, the "rebel" soldiers
of the Dixie Division were max
ing history when they climbed
aboard the transports near Fort
jackson, S. c.. recently to rush
1000 miles into the maneuver
area surrounding this fort. Al
most the whole of the National

equipment in a four-day shuttle
of C-124s, C-119s and wartime

The first contingent came

A two-and-a-half ton dump

various light trucks and jeeps
was secured on a ramp sloping
toward the nose of the transport.

The final movement. using sing

Charles E. Wilson
His Second Resignation, on Sour Note,
Deprives Government of q Strong Man
By jones Y. Newton

Somewhat obscured by politi-
cal and other news of the past
week was the Governments
loss of one of it's few really
strong men in Defense Mobil-
izer Charles E. Wilson. And in
the end. his departure may
prove to be. of more significance
to the Nation than the events
which crowded it off the front
pages.
Even the accounts of Mr.. Will
sons resignation did not do
justice to the Importance of the
event. Since he quit because
of differences with President
Truman over handling of the
steel industry's wage and price
difficulties. the impression was
created that dealing with such
problems was a major part of
Mr.. Wilson's job.
Actually, the Wilson job was
among the biggest in Govern
ment. perhaps ranking in i'm
portance second only to that of
the President. The setting of
high policy in matters of price
and wage control was only a
small part of Mr.. Wilson's re-
SponSibilitieS He was OverSeer
of the program to make Amer
lea strong. AS such, he was the
boss not only of the defense
effort. but of the civilian econ
omy as well.
Guns and Butter Man
He was the chief architect
of the plan to provide the coun-
try with both guns and butter,
a scheme which has been rather
successfully followed.
Mr.. Wilson knew the country's
economy could not support for
very long an about defense eff
fort. and that the threat of
Communist aggression likely
would be with us long time.
1t would be necessary to keep
the civilian economy strong for
this long haul. His plan in
volved taking the risk that Rus
STA would not Immediately sig
nal the start of World War III.
Most of this danger had
passed by the time Mr.. Wilson
left Office. He said the country
had straversed two-thirds of the
road to real military prepared
ness. In other words, we al
ready have most of the guns that
are needed and the supply of
butter has never dipped too low.
But Mr.. Wilson's departure
leaves tremendous gap in the
Governments high command
which is proving difficult to fill.
Mr.. Wilson possesses neither
the patience nor the fair for
diplomacy which are necessary
for survival in WaShington's
political climate for any long
period of time. At the big Gen
eral Electric Co.. of which he
was president and absolute boss
for years, his word was law.
He could never understand why
he could not operate in the same
way in Government.
When President Truman &C
cepted his resignation a week
ago it was the second time Mr..
Wilson's Government service had

walls of the fusilage to accom-
modate cargo like power cranes
or heavy-duty buses.
The scene resembled that
within some landing craft in
the Pacific War. There was
the same waiting for the word
to move. A monsoon-like rain
beat on the walls of the great
metal cavern, and an occasional
gust tugged at the moorings.
There was the same odor of
gasoline. rubber, oiled machin-
cry and tension. Some men
were sacking down in odd cor
ners and beginning to snore;
others wiped the moisture from
their rifles, and a few sat alone
with bowed heads. For most.
it would be their first time off
the ground.
Outside, the big compound
engines were beginning to cough.
kick their propellers over and
come to life with throaty
din that beat against the thin
walls of the transports and
drowned out the rain. Skies
apparently were clearing to the
westward.
Minimum Risk
The weather. however, would
never have delayed the armada
in an emergency. But this was
a practice maneuver. and no
possible safety factor was to be
discarded in favor of the war
time calculated risk"
The planes, loaded with
around $1,000 pounds as against
a rated capacity of $4,000, and
a proved pay-load some five tons
over even this figure, were to
fly the Federal airways at Is
minute intervals of separation.
These peacetime precautions.

with only one recess until
nearly 6. 1t set the pattern for
the two that followed. The
pattern was of remarkable
concentration and devotion. The
atmosphere was that of the
diamond cutters bench: One
false stroke, and the whole
might be shattered: strike right.
and posterity would possess a
precious heirloom.
Toscanini's place was a plush
covered podium with a railing
on three sides. Before him was
a little red light which burned
when the recording tape moved.
Adjacent was a music stand
bearing the massive score. A
hundred symphony players
famed out in front. Eighty
choristers sat in tiers beyond.
Microphones and loudspeakers
communicated with the control
room above. The doors of the
concert hall were barred.
Once Toscanini entered, how
ever, these were but details.
There was only one focus to the
scene-his figure on the podium.
Toscanini wore a familiar cos
tume-striped formal trousers, a
jet-black coat buttoned to the
neck. The black accentuated
his white hair.
A Slight Cropping
He had to Chamber down Is
stairs and up four more to get
to the stage. He did it UNI
assisted. His gait was slow, his
shoulders bent. His extreme
near-sightedness made him
grope slightly. But he walked
with determination. He mounted
the podium. He said:
Good afternoon.
A moment later his baton was
moving firmly in his right hand.
What followed was quite UNI
like any concert. A concert
