|McNeito Act as Defense Chief
Until Wilson Is Confirmed
Assistant Secretary
To Take Over From
Lovett Tuesday
By John A. Giles

Assistant Secretary of Defense
Wilfred j. Mcneil, So. will be-
come acting Secretary of De-
fense when President-elect Eli
senhower takes office Tuesday.
Mr.. Mcneil, the Defense De-
partment's controller, will con-
tinue to run the sprawling mill
tary establishment until the
Senate confirms successor to
Secretary of Defense Robert A.
Lovett, whose resignation is ef-
fective at noon Tuesday. He has
submitted a resignation to Pres
ident Truman effective "at the
pleasure of the President"
Other designations, including
that of the present Deputy Sec
retary of Defense, William C.
Foster, have a definite termina-
ton time. Mr.. Truman has ac-
cepted them with warm let
ters of appreciation. Mr.. Nc
Ueil, as the senior assistant Sec
retary, is the No. 3 civilian Of
fetal in the establishment.
Both Mr.. Lovett and Mr.. Fos-
ter recommended the retention
OF Mr.. Mcneil to Secretary OF

obviously" Mr.. Summerf1eld
wrote, these limitations are un-
fair to the committees and
candidates, and it is my earnest
hope that Congress will see fit
to completely re-eXamine the
statutes in this regard on a nom
partisan basis"
In his address accepting elec-
ton as national chairman, Mr..
Roberts told the committee that
Republicans would make a fatal
mistake if they should relax and
rest on their oars after the 1852
victory. He urged that all of them
prepare to wage a battle to elect
larger Republican majorities in
the House and Senate and to
defeat efforts of the Democrats
to regain control of those bodies.
Drive in South Urged.
Mr.. Roberts also urged that
Republicans redouble their ef-
forts to strengthen their party
in States of the South-four of
which were carried by EiSen-
hover in the November election.
What a fertile field exists
there" commented Mr.. Roberts.
THE political traditions of the
South and their love of the
American system have clashed
increasingly in recent years. The
South has found that under it's
virtual one-party system, it has
become a political orphan.
Dwight Eisenhower put a light
in the window an dour Southern
colleagues responded. We must
raise the shade higher, and throw
wide the door of Americanism
and Republicanism to let them
know the true measure of our
hospitality. The birth of a two
party system in the South is at
hand"
The election of Mr.. Roberts
as national chairman capped a
day of activity on the part of the
National Committee, holding its
first meeting since the presiden-
tial election at the Mayf1ower
