Admiral Carney Calls for Steps
To Toughen Navy Command

according to Admiral Carney.
are these:
/. Many reserves. who are
fundamentally civilians" must
be kept in command positions,
although there may be q natural
lack Of enthusiasm which filters
down to the subordinates with
an adverse effect.
2. World wide commitments
make it necessary to deploy feet
elements beyond the ideal one
third at sea, two-thirds at home
ratio. which makes 1t tough on
the ships and on the people"
Admiral Carney said the Navy
itself can solve many Of its own
problems, and he returned to the
theme Of personal leadership:
"The premium is on the ex-
ercise of leadership by the In
dividual. No statute can gen.
crate in your subordinates the
will and spirit to overcome difii-
culties. No order or directive by
the Secretary Of the Navy or the
chief Of naval operations can
produce a top-to-bottom spirit
which will accept the tough
breaks cheerfully and maintain
enthusiasm at a high pitch in
the face Of disappointment and
diScouraging trends"

Admiral Robert B. Carney be-
lieves the Navy is tending to lose
sight of its fundamental pur-
pose military operations against
the enemy.
And the Chief Of Naval Opera
lions called an unusual meeting
Of 1880 officers Of his Pentagon
staff at the Department Audi
torium Monday to discuss the
matter personally with them.
He said the complex admin
iStrative structure which has
been superimposed on the fight
ing forces is responsible in large
measure for diverting the eye
from the main goal and he listed
this as one Of several factors
working today against the esprit
de corps essential to a success
full military organization.
Emphasize Combat.
Speaking on the urgent need
for the highest type personal
leadership "up and down the
line" Admiral Carney reminded
his listeners-from ensigns to
four-star admirals-that the ul-
innate. objective Of the Navy sis
to prepare its forces for combat
and to prepare to lead those
forces in combat"
Indicating that he wanted a
toughening up Of command
throughout the Navy. he warned
that If a military service is to
be successful ip war there can
be no abridging Of authority. He
added:
"War is highly competitive: we
are trying to train people to en-
dure the hardships and strain Of
war and we would be doing our
selves and our country a dis
service to adopt measures which
would soften the fibre of the
men in uniform"
Hits Justice Reforms.
In speaking of authority" and
discipline" the admiral de-
clared the Uniform Code Of Mill
tary Justice has made "the ad.
miniStration of discipline SO
cumbersome as TO seriously de
lutte authority and even to en-
courage infractions."

For Actors

Workmen'S Circle are anX-

YiddiSh sketches and plays,
many of them literary gems.
But the group is hampered
by the lack of young people,
according to Hyman Feiner-
man. These are needed in
order to do a good casting
job. He points out that the
players would derive much
pleasure and is sure there are
a number of young men and
women who speak sufficient
Yiddish to take part.

ELECTION RI, Name
SUCCESSOR TO HENRY

BILLINGS resolution calling
for an election" to fill a vacancy on
the Montana Railroad and Public
Service Commission may be presented
at the Montana Democratic Central
Committees state platform conven-
ton here Saturday.
A news release from party officials
said the resolution is expected to read
that "a vacancy exists and the office
should be submitted to the voters for

filled by appointment until the 1856
election"
The vacancy would be the unex-
PRED term of Republican John E.

and confirmed by the U. S. Senate
for the Federal Parole Board.
Henry was elected to the commits
sion in 1862. He is a former state
treasurer, state purchasing, agent,
prison warden and registrar of motor
vehicles.
The release said, "Political observ-
ers feel the governor should make
his proclamation before the official
ballot is certified to the clerk and re-
corders. Democrats will urge that the
office be voted on by the people and
not allowed to go by default through
the Nov. 2, 1854, general election al
lowing this important office to then
become a political plum by appoint
ment." &c. F. TRIBUNE.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(AFL)-
Industrial production in the U. S. in
July dropped about 6 per cent below
the previous month, and about 10
per cent under Levels of year earlier,
the Federal Reserve Board reported.
The figure bore out the assertion
Of the AFL Executive Council last
week that the nation is in the "eco-
nomic doldrums."
The board cited plantwide shut
downs for vacations and "other pur-
poses" for the drop in output of fac
tories and mines. It's production in
dex stood at 1T of the 1947-49 av-
erage.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, in
dustrial production has been at 124
per cent since May. Officials cited
this figure to show that business was
stable"
Observers recalled that the AFL
Executive Council called present
levels of business "low," and said
that Americas economy cannot stand
still.

day so-called filibuster, the protectors
of the public interest seemed to be
champions of a lost cause-of a
cause too complicated to understand
of a cause unpopular and misunder-
stood
"The newspapers and the news
pundits and the organs of special in
terest misinformation kept up such
barrage of propaganda that the
senator's voices were drowned out
and what they said was discredited.
"The majority party was party to
and prime mover in this campaign
to give away atomic energy resources
and patents. The majority party per-
sonified by Senator Knowland used
every trick in the book to shut off
debate and to jam the giveaway bill
through before the American people
knew what happened.
Fortunately, the American peo-
pie were alerted in time. Members of
co-operatives, farmers and working
people began to wonder why those
in favor of the bill were in such great
haste
FINALLY it dawned on all those
with stake in low cost electricity
and in public power programs that
the atomic energy bill as passed by
the House was the greatest giveaway
in history and would result in the
greatest monopoly of all j.. Many
know now what is at stake.
PEOPLE KNOW SCORE
Farmers, housewives, people in all
walks of life know that atomic ener-
CIV carries with it untold possibilities
that may be the sesame that will open
the gate to abundant low cost power
which will tighten their labor and
increase the standard of living for all.
'The American people :. realize
that they have almost in their grasp
the advantages and benefits that will
flow from the magic of atomic fis-
sion. But there are those who would
rob the American people of this great
resource. Great monopolies would
prevent atomic power from being diff
fused and its benefits from being en-
joyed by the American people
'"The fact that the great monopolies
almost had their way should be a
challenge to all of us. The people
now alerted should defeat every con-
gresham who co-operated with the
private power gang in turning the
resources of all the people to few"

antilabOr organizations" the conven-
ton noted that the purpose of these
"right-to-scab" laws is to destroy
free labor unions by prohibiting the
union shop and further restricting
the rights of organized labor" Hold
ing that "to bargain collectively
without restrictive legislation is a
fundamental right of a free labor
union movement" the convention re-
affirmed its position as opposing en-
actment by any State Legislature of
q so-called 'right-to-work' law" In

ASK 4O-HOUR WEEK FOR
WARM SPRINGS PERSONNEL

Noting that members of the
State, County & Municipal EN-
ployes, Local 205, are working 48
hours a week and that employees at
other state institutions are work
ing only 40 hours, the convention
resolved to ask the Board of Ex-
aminers and the Legislature to
adopt 40-hour, five-day week for
State Hospital employees with no
decrease in wages.
Hotel and restaurant workers in
Montana, unlike other wage earners,
are without statutory assurance that
their wages will be paid in case an
employer closes up shop. To rectify
this, the convention in another reso-
luton requested that the legislature
amend present laws to provide these
workers with the same protection of
"a prior lien on the earnings and on
all the property used in the operation
of said business to the extent of the
monies due him for labor performed
within six months next preceding the
filing of his claim therefor, and no
deed of trust, or convey
ance shall defeat OF take precedent
over such lien -
Pointing out that there are several
contractors working in
the state of Montana who are break
ing down working conditions and not
paying prevailing wage scales -,
the convention requested the Legis-
lature to enact a bill (which will
require all contractors to have a con-
FACTORS license, and the union wage
scale shall be in all bid specifications
in which State money is involved ;"
REQUEST PER CAPITA INCREASE
The convention, taking note of
the fact that "the addition of poll
cal activity and the Treasure State
Labor Journal to the functions of
this federation will make it i'm
possible for the federation to OPP
crate effectively with its current
revenues" went on record request

of poverty and restitution"
Also urged as means of easing un-
employment and spreading the work,
was that all unions affiliated with the
federation make every effort to
negotiate six-hour day and 30-hour

Reiterating a long held stand in
favor of prepaid national health in
surance as proposed under the Muir

''the health of the nation is suffer
ing from inadequate medical care
especially in the lower income brack-
cts, and again called on Congress to
enact such a program, stating:
Enactment of this program
would be "a stride toward solving
this great problem by setting aside
an amount from the wages of per-
sons covered by the program and
causing no further tax burden on
the general public -
The convention also gave its back
ing to the Civil Defense program, as
sorting that labor and all members
"have a direct interest and definite
role in the Civil Defense Program

Still another resolution of general
interest urged the necessity of main
tanning a Naval ordnance plant in
the west for defense purposes and
to provide jobs, pointing out that of
the seven such plants only one is
located in the west, and that at Poca-
tello, Idaho. In this plant, said the
convention, there is lover one mil
lion square feet of machine shop and
warehouse space. Also, over 5000
daily machine tool hours that should
be utilized -. If this space and
tool hours were utilized to the full
extent, this would bring to the west

featuring establishments, and great
er economic stability . :"
