Argument Among
Armed Services
Seen as Healthy

WASHINGTON, R-President
Eisenhower said today he would
be frightened indeed if, in these
times, there were not good strong
arguments among the armed ser
vices of America
The President told a news con-
ference, however, all differences
should be studied in a spirit of
honest search for the truth, and
not with any purpose in mind of
just seeing whether an interser-
vice flight can be promoted.
A great many of the questions
put to Eisenhower death with the
rivalry among the services which
came to light last weekend.
At the outset of his news con-
ference Eisenhower was asked for
his views of the situation.
He noted that he is Commander
in Chief, as we'll as President,
and said no important matter
dealing with the armed services
comes up that does not concern
him.
Abiding TO the interservice diff
ferenceS over the role to be played
by the various branches, Eisen-
hover said it is necessary to get
the matter in proper perspective
In these days of new weapons,
Eisenhower said, there is constant
change and fluidity, and military
doctrines that were sacrosanct in
the past now are being deserted.
It was then he said that if there
were not good, strong arguments
among the armed services, he
would be frightened indeed.
Later on, Eisenhower said with
great emphasis that the strength
of America is not found alone in
bombs or in guided missiles. 1t is
instead, he added, combination
of many things, such as balancing
the budget.

A spokesman said Pan Ameri-

diately the route authority it has
held so long, if the conditions
agreed upon by Russia are salts

American.
Pan American also has asked
the Civil Aeronautics Board for
a transpolar route between Eur
ope and the us. west coast. The
spokesman said this route also
would tie in we'll with a Moscow
service.
The Pan American spokesman
said there have been indications
from the Russians they would
welcome a visit by us. airline
officials for air service confer
ences. He added some Pan Ameri-
can officers very likely soon will
go to Moscow.

Tense officials reported Monday.
A new bombing mission has
been ordered in the Delta area.
Most critical point is Alakanuk on
the south of the Yukon.
Two hundred villagers there
have sought refuge in boats, Jo-
seph Agayard, Ground Observer
Corps supervisor, said. Yesterday
villagers reported a new ice jam
10 miles down river had forced
water up 18 inches and threatened
the trading post.
Monday night rising waters
forced the villagers to spend the
night in boats. The water then
dropped, but was up again the
next day. The Alaska Command
hoped to drop 500-pound bombs
to break the jam. The bombing
was requested by villagers thru
the civilian defense at Anchorage.
The village of Hamilton on the
north fork of the Yukon was
flooded Monday night and resi-
dents sought high ground at a
nearby cemetery. The water later
dropped when ice broke near
Hamilton.

Anzio Beach Landing Mistake?
Truman Denies He Said So, But
AP Reporter Sticks BY His Story

NAPLES, Italy, R-Harry S.
Truman disclaimed today the
comment attributed to him con-
corning the Anzio-Salerno beach
head-and added he's embar-
raised about the whole affair.
Reporters accompanying Tru-
man on his tour through Italy
quoted him yesterday as saying
the two World War IL landings
were unnecessary land planned
by some squirrel-headed general"
not named.
These developments followed:
l. The controversy over the
landings, previously criticized in
Congress and elsewhere, took on
new life. Gen. Mark w Clark, 5th
Army commander in the landings,
said he had just followed orders
A British commander accused
Truman of talking nonsense.
2. Truman's secretary said the
former President made "a COM
plete denial of the quotations
attributed to him yesterday. Fred
Zusy, AP correspondent who filed
yesterdays story, said Truman's
comment was reported exactly as
he said it." A reporter for the
United Press filed a similar story,
and also stood by it today.
3. President Eisenhower said he
and his wartime staff did not ia
vor carrying out the Anzio beach
landing exactly as it was done,
but that he does not think it can
be called a failure. He said it
would be long story to tell who
planned the operation.
A. Truman himself spoke to the
of the three major news
services, several hours after his
secretary had issued the denial"
Il would make no comment like
that" said Truman, referring to
the quotations attributed to him.
Il had been listening to con-
versation of several people who
had been there. l am sorry about
it. But it's a very embarrassing
situation and l hope you'll clear
it up"
