when to quit as so many in
politics do not. He decided to
escape from the trap of frustra-
tions which found him pilloried

interest in particular projects
has always won out over the gen.

the increasing scope of the flood
disasters-Kansas City last
spring and now the great sweep
through North Dakota, Iowa
and Nebraska-may have af-
fected the thinking Of the
people.

Southern tradition except they
are Republican.
Unless and until their present
leaders have a change of heart
or they raise up new ones, WASH
1ngton can probably do little.
The great projects which change
the face Of America do not, as
many think, originate here; the
drive from the grass roots must
come first, expounding the need
and demanding a remedy.
When the victims Of the flood
ing rivers really feel they have
had enough and that present
programs do not meet the
situation, other remedies will get
congressional attention in spite
OF the vested interests of the
Army Engineers.

Constantine Brown:
joint Chiefs Bickerinqs Blamed
American Air Force Logs Far Behind That of Soviet Russia
In Actual Numbers and in Construction of Modern Jets

The American Air Force is
tagging far behind that of the
U. S. S. r. both in actual num-
berS and in construction of mod
ern jet planes. This was revealed
recently by highly responsible
authorities at hearings before
congressional committees.
The total strength Of the
Soviet air force has reached
10000 planes. OF these 10000
actually are in unit organiza-
tions" while the balance are in
reserves and requirements.
Soviet aircraft factories are
working overtime in building
new jet planes of all types.
In spite of the vast amounts
spent by the American taxpay-
ers for defense this major arm
OF national security is far be-
hind our principal enemies. The
reason for this lag is an over
optimistic approach to the
problem by the civilians in the
administration and the bicker-
ingS In the Joint Chiefs of Staff
among the "bayonet minded"
the "battleship minded" and
the "air minded" Each Of these
groups wants as much as pos
sible of the total appropria-
tions. Everybody recognizes the
vital Importance Of the air arm,
whether land or ship based.
But in the turmoil of politics
and confusion We are still only
short distance from the post
while the Reds are many
lengths ahead of us.
Normally it takes about six
years to change from the con-
ventional to the jet type. The
Russians started this conver-
sion "as a gamble" as far back
as 1946 when they traded Brit
ain some wheat and lumber for
blueprints and prototype jet
engines. The German techni-
clans who were sold on the jet
idea during the last war pre-
vailed on their Red employers
to launch a large-scale building
program. And while the con-

has to build the necessary
aprons. airstrips and housing
for the military personnel
flyers, bombardiers and MAIN
tenance men. The public works
program is stingy with the ac-
tual requirements Of the Air
Force. which finds itself In the
position Of the individual who
buys furnishings for o 10-room
house and Is offered only o
small efficiency apartment when
he is ready to move. The cell
ings imposed by the Budget Bu-
reau on public works do not
permit q sufficient immediate
expansion of the Air Force to
approach even vaguely that Of
the enemy.
This explains partially at
least why a large amount of the
sums appropriated by Congress
in. the past has not yet been
utilized for the production Of
planes. In view of the quality
and skill of American airmen
we do not need at present the
vast numbers possessed by the
Russians. But we are still o
very long way from the l26
groups which are considered a
must" by the end Of 1856. And
nobody knows whether that tar

flood control and rivers and
harbors work from the engi-
neerS to the Interior Depart
ment. The Hoover Commission
recommended the transfer.
Interior has long wanted the
change. Secretary Chapman and
his predecessors have struggled
hard to induce the engineers to
incorporate potential If not
actual power generators in their
projects to help satisfy the
Vests ever-increasing demands
for power. They have not always
succeeded and it has been a
bone of bitter contention. In
terror is also committed to the
principle of river planning.
Another hard, possibly fruit
less, battle had been forecast for
the proposed transfer when the
new Midwest disasters occurred.
Now President Truman has de-
cided to inspect the scene him
self and confer with Governors
OF the seven affected States in
the full spotlight Of publicity.
1t Is an excellent setup for
public review of the faults of the
present approach to the prob
lem. If the long-suffering Mid
west can be moved to open its
collective mind to fresh ideas
about it, the administration may
be on the right side Of a popular
issue it badly needs in that
region.

ventional type Of heavy bomber
is still being manufactured
the Soviet factories now are
producing jet planes on large
scale.
Our Government followed q
policy Of trimming the fat from
the national defense budget
from the end Of the last war
until Korea. In spite of the
billions appropriated by Con-
gress up to June Is, 1850, there
was little to show for those
large appropriations. In 1947,
for instance. when Tito seemed
to threaten Italy and the State
Department was thinking Of
intervening. we had in the
United States fewer than 30,-
900 Army combat troops. The
Air Force did not fare any
better than the Army. The
80th Congress had approved 72
air groups. The White House
had cut them down to so. But
when the Korean campaign be-
gan in 1850 we did not have
more than AZ. Supplemental
appropriations were passed in
November. 1850. after the Chi
neSe Reds entered the war. The
money was not made available
to the Air Force until January,
1851. when we started applying
ourselves to building jet planes
on a larger scale than had been
planned earlier.
Unfortunately, money for air.
plane construction alone does
not create an air force. There
are many bottlenecks which are
interfering with rapid develop
ment of the land-based air
force. Congress appropriated a
number of billions for modern
planes and the personnel needed
to operate them. That will be
allocated to the Air Force and
will be sufficient in the event
that part of it is not impounded
by the Chief Executive as has
been the case occasionally in
the past. But one difficulty is
the public works program that

Senate Is No Lonqer the Same
Tom Connoy in 35 Years of Congress Has Stood for Stability
Amid Two Hot Wars a Depression and Cold War

We in this trade devote much
Of our time to having at poll
ticianS, and sometimes it is
vice versa, which also is in order
and frequently deserved.
But the time comes every so
often to be mellow, especially
if, in your heart, you really love
politics and politicians.
The time has come now be-
cause of Senator Tom Connally
Long TaWm of Texas" of
many joyous memories through
the yearS-who is leaving the
Senate at the end of this session
after IS years in Congress that
began with his election to the
House back just before our
entry into World War I. as we
now call that first blood bath in
our turbulent century.
Amid all the turbulence-two
hot wars. q depression, a cold
war-Tom Connally has stood
for stability in a symbolic fash
ion. To look back at him and
at him today is to see the
Senator incarnate. as Senators
were so long, and as they are
no longer.
Somehow Tom Connally and
his kind were fellows to cling
to-so much in the tradition, SO
much American Of legend and
folklore. Suddenly, in realizing
he is leaving the body of which
he was so much a fixture, there
comes a lost feeling-the same
feeling that often comes in look
ing around at q world today
that is so different, a lost world
it is. itself, with nothing GER
tain any more.
No longer is the Senator
our world-the same when there
are no more figures there like
Tom Connally to wear big hats
with a veritable bob Of hair
curling out around the edges;
fellows who loved the spoken
word, who had the quick, apt
and tart phrase in debate as
does Tom Connally, who could
melt down foe with irony-and
not mean it really. withal.
He is nearly the last of the
breed.
There was o time around
here-and not too long ago
when there were many, when

are trying to- get across the
same idea that President Tru-
man used in his radio speech
last week-namely, that it would
have delayed matters to utilize
the Taft-Hartley Acts ma
chinery. Certainly this would
not have been true If the Presi-
dent had acted at least a month
before the strike was called.
This correspondent long ago,
in one of these, dispatches,
warned that a deadlock had
been reached In the steel nego-
tiations and that, without
substantial price increase, there
wouldn't be any settlement.
Most Of the, news correspondents
who followed the case knew
this. too. 1t seems that every
one in Washington knew it ex-
cept the President, who was re-
ceiving inside reports almost
daily from the negotiators.
But Mr.. Truman preferred to
play politics. He preferred to
take the unions side on wage
increases and evidently believed
that the steel industry was suf-
f1ciently unpopular from a po-
litical viewpoint that it wouldn't
matter If he seized the industry
without benefit of law. But,
instead, Mr.. Truman has sue
ceeded in sending cold shivers
down the spines Of every one
who owns property in America.
For if. without specific author
1zation by Congress, the Presi-
dent can seize the steel indus
try, he can seize all the corner
grocery stores, all the shops and
all the savings-bank deposits
and hand them over to any
pressure group that he selects.
Seizure of private property
without due process of law" is
a plain violation of the Consti-
tuition. No President has ever
done it before. All seizures in
the past have been derived from
an existing statute, usually
passed in connection with mill
tary operations in wartime.

Issue Deeper Than Wage Raises
Passive Mood Of Congress in Face of Steel Industry Seizure
Resembles That of Noz Lawmakers in EorIy Hitler Days
Dovid Lowrence:

When Hitler began ignoring
the constitution Of the German
republic back in 1888 and argu-
ing that he had inherent pow
ers" and that judges should de-
eide cases on the basis of local
sentiment" the members of the
national legislature in Berlin
were passive and acquiescent.
There is no Hitler in sight to-
day in the United States, but the
passive mood Of Congress in the
face Of a usurpation of power
by the President Of the United
States in seizing the steel indus
try is just about as it was in
prewar Germany.
There has been more excite
ment and outburst of indigna-
tion here lately over the way
mink coats were obtained and
more denunciation of the be-
havior of a lot of underpaid
and dishonest employees of the
Treasury Department than
there has been about the steal
ing from the people of the con-
Stitutional rights which are de-
signed to protect private prop
erty.
1t is true that many men,
berS of Congress are absent
from Washington due to the
Easter recess. but even in the
Senate about the strongest
action they can think of is to
make an academic study Of
seizure powers of a President
in circumstances when there is
no law that authorizes it.
There are some signs that
businessmen throughout the
country are greatly disturbed
by what has happened. One
would think the liberals" who
are usually in the forefront in
any battle to preserve consti-
tutional liberties would be de-
manding action by Congress to
repudiate what the President
has done. Instead, the radical
and So-called liberal" group
are standing by the admins
tration. insisting that the CIO
