Pentagon chief would run into
serious opposition.
Secretary McElroy surprised
newSmen at his most recent
press conference when he re-
vealed that Gen. Gruenther
had been sitting in on some Of
the reorganization discussions
and would join the McElroy
group on a four-day week END
visit to Puerto Rico later this
month to hammer out at least
some tentative conclusions"
The Secretary said the So
year-old general had been in
vited to be a full-time con-
sultant but that his duties as
president of the American Red
Cross had prevented his ac-
ceptance.
The other McElroy reorgani-
cation consultants, whose ap-
pointmentS were described in a
formal announcement, are:
Gen. Nathan F. Twining, jos
chairman, and Admiral Arthur
w. Radford and General of the
Army Omar N. Bradley, former
chairman; William c. Foster,
former Deputy Secretary of De-
Tense, and Nelson A. Rookie
Teller, chairman of the Presi-
dents Advisory Committee on
Government Organization.
Charles A. Coolidge, a former
Assistant Secretary of Defense
is acting as a sort of executive
secretary for the group.
Mr.. McElroy has indicated he
would have his recommends
tons ready for the President
early in March. Mr.. Eisen-
hover is expected to send his
final legislative proposals tc
Congress a week or so later.

ously any moves toward a single

In Space Cabin

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Feb. IL
B.-Apparently in excellent
health and spirits, Altman
Donald G. Farrell today neared
the halfway mark of his weeks
stay in a tiny sealed cabin on
his mythical trip to the moon.
The 25-year-old native of the
Bronx, N. Y, passed his 72d
hour in the Air Forces expert
mental space cabin at Randolph
Air Force Base at 9:35 this
morning. He is due to reach
the halfway mark of his seven
day experiment at 9:35 tonight.
Operating on a 14-hour day,
Mr.. Farrell appeared bright and
alert when he finished a four
hour work period at 5 am. to-
day. He told observers outside

will have proved that a human

President Eisenhower, Gen
Gruenther and most of Defense
Secretary McElroy's top-level
reorganization consultants - is
understood to have been ruled
out at this time.
But a plan being actively
considered by the McElroy
group calls for removal of the
strategic planning stats from
each of the services and con-
solidating them into a separate,
independent staff under the
direction Of the jos chairman
asSuch q move would make the
chairman, in effect, the prin-
cipal military adviser to the
President and Defense Secre-
tary. The Joint Chiefe CO..
lectively. now hold that desig-
nation.
In the view of worried Navy
leaders, a unified staff would
be- the first step toward a
German general staff" setup
and a single chief.
ID Influence on President
? Gen. Gruenther has been an
answering advocate of the
one-staff, one-chief idea. Be-
cause of his long personal
association with the President,
he has perhaps influenced Mr..
Eisenhower's military thinking
more than any other single
person.
1t was widely reported last
spring that the White House
sounded out Senate leaders on
the possibility of naming Gen
Gruenther to succeed Charles
E. Wilson as Secretary of De-
! tense. The idea was dropped

apparent that the nomination

falls on q Saturday or any
other day. he is entitled to two
extra days of within 80 days,
This would apply, for example,
to the upcoming Washington
birthday. which falls on a Sat-

As for rank-and-iile Federal
workers, they are compensated

Mr.. Holland told the House
that Uncle Sam is the one
employer in the United States
who has made the least prog
ress along these lines"
Mr.. Holland criticized gloomy
lighted interiors, insufficient
toilet facilities, insufficient
locker space, inadequate eating
facilities, lack of ventilation,
etc. Lack of adequate medical
facilities and doctors and
nurses in many postal units also
was criticized by Mr.. Holland.
He called on Congress to APP

Combined Europe Stats
Gen. Gruenther is recalled as
the architect of a plan which
several years ago combined the

The first commander was
Army Gen. Matthew Ridgway.
Surprisingly, Navy officials

tinued opposition to a single
chief but are afraid his record
as a strong" jos chairman
Q953-5D might lead him to
go along with moves to give
that officer more power.
Admiral Radford is known to
have opposed the unanimous
Joint Chiefs on a number OF
important matters and con-
WINGED Secretary Wilson that
his views were the correct ones
Most congressional leader;

predicted over that. But any
