WASHINGTON, A-The Essen.
hover Administration is closing out
the first 100 days of its Great
crusade'-an eventful period of
roller coaster ups and downs I'M
precedented in recent history.
It viii be 100 days Wednesday
since President Eisenhower took
the oath Of office and declared
that peace-with honor and with
out representatives. the SUI
preme goal of the new regime.
AS the days have flashed by,
the administration has begun re-
aligning American foreign policy
toward snatching the Cold War
initiative from Russia and the
President himself has laid down
specific peace proposals.
Yet the administration has had
trouble getting some new people
into office and some old ones out.
And sparks flew for time over
the way Sen. Mccarthy (R.-Wis. J
investigated the State Department
and sidestepped the Department
and White House in promoting an
agreement by Greek ship owners
to quit carrying war supplies to
Red China.
Of course, stacking the early
days of the Eisenhower Truman
and Roosevelt administrations
alongside one another is some
thing like comparing prunes. peas
and pecans. They were fundamen-
tally different, yet had some SINH
1arity.
Roosevelt took over in 1893 a
panic-ridden, despairing nation
with millions of jobless.

Civilians To
Control Dept.
OF Defense
BY ELTON E. FAY

WASHINGTON R-Civilian con-
troll of the Defense Department
may tighten and military influence
diminish under the reorganization
plans which President Eisenhower
says he is studying.
This tightening could result from
both the reorganization and the
money cuts about which the PEN
tagon administration of Secretary.
OF Defense Wilson is talking.
In addition to the 3Is million
persons in uniform, the national
defense establishment nov has
about 1900, 900 civilian employees.
A large number are clerical and
labor employees. But there also are
thousands in purely administrative
work, in the Pentagon and through.
out the nation.
And there are something over
800 boards, committees and coun-
cils. Sen. Taft (R-0hio), emerging
from White House meeting YES.
terday at which Pentagon reorgan-
ization was discussed, made il
plain some of these organizations
within organizations are tabled for
termination.
indications were the plan is to
turn the functions Of some of these
multitudinous agencies over to
assistant defense secretaries. Cur
rent guessing was that about half
dozen new assistant secretary
posts might be contemplated
assistant secretaries for produc-
ton, for supply, for research and
development. for engineering, for
atomic liaison, for the post Of gen.
eral counsel.
The thought seems to be that
even with creation of the new sub
secretary jobs the overall man.
power for administration stilI
would be substantially smaller than
under the present system.
Recommendations by the Gov
eminent Reorganization Commit
tee, headed by Nelson Rockefeller,
and which win cover both State
and Defense Departments, win 20
to Congress soon.
The expansion Of the ciyilian
of the Defense Depart
ment, with a re-allocation of re-
sponsibilities and authority, could
mean that some functions of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff--the military
high command of the country
would be turned over to civilians.
II has been q complaint of all
previous defense secretaries that
because they had no large staff in
their immediate office they were
forced to rely upon the joint chiefs
for work and advice not purely
military.
Some previous service secre-
taries are known TO have felt they
were captives Of the generals and
admirals who were supposed to
respond to the directives Of the
secretaries.

In the field of foreign affairs.
Roosevelt did little and attempted
little in the 100 days devoted to
fighting a depression.
Truman sent Harry L. Hopkins
to see Stain: and Joseph E. Da-
vies to see Churchill as he made
it clear he was standing four
square behind the Roosevelt for
eign policy.
President Eisenhower's first ma
ior address since his State of the
Union message to Congress was
a foreign policy announcement
challenging Russia to act rather
than talk on peace. He proposed
world disarmament and limitation
of military production, prohibition
of atomic weapons and interna-
tional control of atomic power,
curbs on other weapons of mass
destruction, enforcement through
U. N. inspection, use of resultant
savings for another kind of war,
against poverty and hunger In the
world.
And by sending Secretary of
State Dulles and Mutual Security
Administrator Harold e. Stassen
to Europe, the President prodded
Western powers toward greater
unity against the Red threat.
Regardless of what factors here
or abroad are responsible, these
first 100 days have seen the first
prisoner exchange in Korea and
revived hope for an armistice.
He withdrew the u. S. 7th Fleet
and left Chinese Nationalist on
Formosa free to attack Reds on
the mainland.
All along the line the new ad.

ment still is working on the prob
lem.
Accompanying budget slaShing
as economy moves have been hold
downs on spending and employ
ment and freezes on new govern
ment projects. And in the interests
of efficiency, the chief executive
has sent to Congress plans to re-
organize the Agriculture and JUS
tice Departments and merge the
