Earlier she viewed secret

.BridgesF Fights
General Staff

Senator Bridges, Republican of
New Hampshire, told the Senate
yesterday he is convinced that
"a drive is on to enforce the
adoption of a supreme general
staff" and declared he will do
all within my power" to prevent
it.
He was commended by both
Democrats and Republicans as
he warned against junking "our
war-proved joint chiefs of staff
system" and replacing it with
the Prussian type of high COM
mand."
Senator Bridges, member OF
the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee and chairman of the Sen
ate G. o. P. Policy Committee
said he had seen the issue de-
velop over more than two
decades.
In 1916. he said, I'VE defeated
the Collins plan-so named for
its chief sponsor, Gen. j. Lawton
CollinS-for a single chief OF
staff and a supreme general staff
after the Prussian system"
He said the campaign to de-
stroy civilian control is mo mere
matter of imagination" and that
the master plan has been pre-
pared"

crat of Montana, Saltonstall, Re-

demning any proposal which
would take away top civilian
control over defense forces.
There is good reason for label
ing this single chief of staff
supreme general staff as the
'PruSsian system, :" Senator
Bridges said. 1T was the method
by which the Prussian, and later
the German chiefs of staff con-
trolled military and political
policy, enslaved their nation, and
goose stepped their people along
the road of militarism to ma
tional disaster"

Sir Anthony conceded that the

the Iron Curtain should relax

The Russians, and some Sec

be worked out at a general dis
armament convention, a position

United States, as late as last

do this ourselves. We have nc

I'VE know that it is not goine
to be easy. But it would be wise
to prepare now to avoid the risk
that the multiplication of ex.
periments, if extended over 8
long period of time, could have

The possibility that radiation
and other effects of fall Out
from nuclear explosions might
be injurious to human health
has caused increased pressure
in Britain for their control.
