Davies Lays His Custer to Fact
He Spoke Out on u. S. Policy

John Patton Davies, jr., ousted
after % years in the Foreign
Service, believes he might still
be in his job If he had been a
safe and silent "bureaucrat" in
stead of speaking out frankly to
his superiors.
On recommendation of a Civil
Service Security Board, Mr..
Davies was dismissed Friday by
Secretary of State Dulles for
lack of Judgment, discretion
and reliability" The firing of
the career diplomat, a target of
Senator Mccarthy, was not for
disloyalty, Secretary Dulles en-
phasized.
Mr.. Davies declared he would
not challenge the Dulles decision
but would be content to let
history be his judge. He said
yesterday, however, that his
basic views and main activities
in the most controversial part Of
his long career were explained in

Saw Chang Weakening.
Concerning what he called q
broad accusation that he "ac-
lively opposed and sought to
circumvent United States policy
toward China" in 1914 and early
1945, he wrote:
II do not remember any ex-
plicit statement issued by the
United States Government to the
effect that its policy was to sup
port the National government of
Chang Kai-shek. At the same
time I do not believe that the
board will find in any of my
papers of the period under con-
sideration any recommendation
that the United States Govern
ment should withdraw support
from the National government of
Chang Kai-shek.
Il did believe, however, that
the power relationship among
the various Chinese factions was
radically changing, that the Ma
tional government was steadily
declining, that the Communists
were steadily gaining, and that
this trend was not likely to be
reversed by anything we would
be willing to do. Holding inflex-
IDLY to a policy that seemed
doomed to collapse, I thought,
would lead to serious damage to
the American national interests.

Naming Of Top

Merger Of Brigudes
Makes Selections
Too Complicated
BY jones G. Deone

BY James G. Deone
Washington's 72-year-old High
School Cadet Corps is drilling
without O commanding oficer
this year.
School officials have decided
not to appoint any cadet colonel
or brigade staff for the present.
tits the first time since 1893 that
the corps has been without o
colonel.
The decision stems from the
recent racial integration Of the
school system. Until this fall the
cadets were divided into two bri-
gades, one for the white division,
the other for the colored, each
with its own top command. But
integration has ended the need
for separate brigades.
Solution Put on.
Merging the top command.
however. has apparently turned
out to be too complicated for the
school authorities, and they have
put OF q solution until next year.
Assistant Supt. Harold A..
Haynes, commenting on the
postponement. said yesterday 1t
was felt that this was best dur
ing what he called the current
transition"
The cadet colonelcy. in each
brigade, has long been the corps
highest honor. Besides the coll
onel, the brigade staff has in
cluded two majors and q SER
geant major.
Each brigade staff has been
charged with leading the cadets
in parades and public ceremo-
nies, as well as carrying out in
spections of individual school
regiments and battalions.
Different Systems Used.
One complication in the mer-
ger of the two stats results from
the fact that the white brigade
staff has long been drawn from
one school, while in the colored
division the practice was to form
the top command with cadets
from several of the divisions
high schools.
Because Of the lack Of q top
commander, representation of
the corps in public ceremonies
will be complicated this winter.
The first such ceremony is next
week, when. the corps is sup
posed to take part in wreath
laying at the Tomb of the I'm
known Soldier in. Arlington.
1t. Col. William E. Barkman,
professor Of military science and
tactics. said a scheme for han
ding next Thursdays ceremony
has been proposed, but officials
at Franklin School refused yes
terday to make 1t public.
Unit Leaders Picked.
Cadet units at individual
schools already have been stated
with officers. A list Of ofiicer
appointments is now being pre-
pared for submission to the
Board of Education, Col. Bark
man said.
Cadet enrolment has in
creased somewhat this fall. A
check yesterday showed o total
Of 1926, a climb Of 146 above a
year ago. The total breaks
down this way: Anacostia, SIT;
Eastern. 1879; Mckinley. 289:
Western, ISL: Roosevelt, 262:
Wilson. 116: Coolidge, 800: Bell,
243; Chamberlain. ITS: Cardozo,
406; Spingarn, 538; Dunbar, 225;
Armstrong, 303. and Phelps. 481.
A number of Negro transferees
are now In units at several for
merly white schools, including
some high-ranking non-commis-
stoned officers. Only younger
students were transferred for the
most part. SO none Of the colored
cadets were eligible for officer
posts at those schools this fall.
