Fight Over Pentogon Plan
Renews Old Power StruqqIe

program designed to de-emphas-
ize differences between the indi-
vidual services would also enhance
the fear of critics that the Joint
Chiefs might tend to become self
perpetuating. The proposed re-
moval or de-emphasis of an Of
ficer'S service loyaltieS, it has been
argued, would leave him with 10y
atty only to staff organization
which could, in time, become a
colossus. In addition, such a "neu-
tralization" of the service loyalties
of the top brass might, it is feared,
also strengthen tendencies toward
an eventual "Single service"
The reservations on the en-
larged and more powerful gen.
eral staff have been far less vocal,
however. than the criticism of the
greatly increased powers proposed
for the Defense Secretary. Most
congressional witnesses critical of
this aspect of the plan have taken
pains to praise Secretary McElroy,
and to state that they fear no
tyranny from him. But, they go
on. what of his successors? Gen.
Randolph McC. Pate, Marine
Corps Commandant, was most
graphic; he foresaw the possibility
of the Marines being wiped out of
existence by some future defense
czar.
Under present law, the Defense
Secretary is expressly forbidden
to merge the three military serv-
ices. Neither can he set up a
supreme general staff in command
of all the services or bring about
such a result by his control over
funds and personnel.
The roles and missions of the
three services. at present, are the
specific responsibility of Congress.
Additionally, the civilian Secre-
taries OF the Army, Air Force and
Navy have the right to take in
dividual protests of their serv-
ices to Congress, although. before
doing so, they must inform the
Defense Secretary.
Ii Con Be Done
In many respects, however, the
President and Defense Secretary
already have the power to carry
out many of the objectives criti-
cized. Since the Unifcation Act
OF 1916, executive orders have been
used not only to allocate funds
and personnel. but to some extent
roles and missions as we'll. 1t was
not a congressional act, but an
order by Defense Secretary Charles
e. Wilson. that divided the respon-
sibility for the rockets and mis-
sile program. Even now a study
is going on of the activities of the
services public information and
legislative liaison activities with
the view to possible merger or re-
duction in their activities.
On the other hand, the admin
istration's reorganization measure
would clearly remove the privilege
the civilian Secretaries of the three
services now have of taking their
troubles directly to Congress. And
as presently written it seems clear
that the Defense Secretary could.
in effect, merge the separate serv-
ices by using his new powers over
roles and missions. Through this
device, the Defense Secretary could
combine the three services, leaving
only the name, tradition and few

sibllities through the separate

Here are some known facts.
compiled largely from reports of
the Reds themselves:
. Between 1850 and 1853. nearly
l20 million acres Of land-more
than 40 per cent of the total
arabic land-had been conflscated
and parceled out to the peasants.
Farm implements and animals
went with it. Probably, the Com
munists' stock was never higher
with the peasants than in the
latter year.
o BY 1855. the Reds announced
a crop yield of 1874 million tons of
grains. They said that wss 20 por
cent higher than the all-time nigh
yield, achieved in 1886. But-with
the increase of population. this
worked out to only about 500
pounds per person. The average
American consumes 1,540 pounds
of food per year.
. BY 1856. the Reds were putting
nearly a billion dollars in capital
iSt investment, and loans. into the
collective farms. Yet the rate of
increase of food production was
dropping steadily.
Widespread Disturbances
Today, anti-Communist sources
say, the farmers are deserting the
collectiveS wherever the opportu-
nifty presents itself.
The NationalistS say rations on
grains, pork and edible oil have
been reduced. The allotment on
pork is about a pound a month
per person, and edible oil only an
ounce.
They report widespread disturb
anceS as a result. primarily. of the
shortage of food.
Most recently, Peiping Radio
quoted the provincial secretary of
Hopei Province as saying drought
had severely damaged nearly half
of the IA million acres of spring
crops.
Was it the weather? Or was it
peasant resistance?

Parties To Confer
On Injunction Plea

Members of the Mayor and Town
Council are scheduled to confer
this evening with Horace Whit
worth, Jr., attorney for Browning's
Inc, in regard to the curbing diff
ficulties in front of the Browning
Grocery store.
The store went to court last week
seeking an injunction against the
town which would prevent it from
constructing along several hundred
feet of the Browning property.
Corporal Sam Conrad of the State
Police, at the April meeting of the
council, recommended three-lane
traffic system on Third street to
lessen the congestion in that area.
Northbound traffic desiring to turn
left at Alder and Green streets
many times tie up traffic greatly,
and it was his suggestion that
third lane be provided, removing
all parking meters from the east
side of the street from the Brown
ing store on Third street to the
alley at the Court House.
The Council authorized curbing
a part of Third street at the June
meeting, and town employees be-
gan work there on Monday, June
80. The petition for an injunction
was filed shortly thereafter. The
store owners declare that curbing
in front of their place of business
would discourage and hinder bust
ness.
1t was the intention of the coun-
Gil to leave a 30-foot opening at
the alley across from the city coun-
Gil chamber and also an opening
of 40 feet at the northern end of
the Browning lot.
Whether some compromise will
be worked out at tonight'S meeting
or whether the concern will press
its petition is not known at this
time. The Mayor and Council we're
ordered by the Circuit Court to
show cause within fifteen days why
an injunction should not be issued
as sought.

Little Yough Water
Level To Rise Again

The water level of the Little
Youghiogheny river will rise again.
An agreement was reached Mon
day evening between the Mayor
and Town Council and M. V. Kill
dow, owner of the Kildow dam.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Kill
dow opened the sluice gates, low
ering the level of the river several
feet, and exposing a number of
sewer lines. DR.. Arthur F. Jones,
health officer, wrote letter citing
that the water level could not be
raised or lowered without authori-
cation from the Department of
Geology, Mines and Water Re-
sources. DR.. Jones also pointed out
that it created health hazard and
asked that the gates be restored.
At the Council meeting Monday
evening the town agreed to pay Mr..
Kildow 500 for use of the dam and
gates and agreed to keep the dam
repaired at town expense.

Mt. Lake Voters Say
No To Amendment

Mt. Lake Park voters issued an
overwhelming mo" to a proposed
amendment to the towns charter
at the annual election Tuesday
afternoon. They also elected Or
vile Kitzmiller and Earl Sebold as
members of the city council for
a two-year term.
The proposed amendment was
voted down 154 to 81. 1t would have
given the Mayor and Council the
power to increase the tax rate on
property up to 81 on each 500 of
assessable property. The limit I'M
der the present charter is go cents.
H. M. Weeks, mayor, said the coun-
Gil had planned to raise the rate
some ten or fifteen cents.
Sebold was high man on the
ticket with 125 votes while Kitz-
miller received 100. Defeated can
didates included Joe Turney with
IS votes, Clinton Shrout with 48
votes, and Arvey M. Richie with
81 votes. Two hundred thirteen

Bloodmobile to Visit
Accident on July 80

The next trip of the JohnstoWn
Red Cross bloodmobile unit in
Garrett county will be made to
Accident. This is one of those extra
summer time trips known as the
flying 48" and will be made to
Accident on Wednesday, July 30.
The hours will be from 2 to 6 p. m.
Mrs. Grover C. Stemple, blood
recruitment chairman, was stress
ing the urgent need for blood
again this past week and pointed
out that the JohnStown unit has
distributed practically all its sur
plus blood to hospitals where
needed.
The quota of the JohnStoWn unit
in June was 1888 pints. The intake
was 2,948 pints and the distribution
was 1884 pints. Mrs. Stemple said
that calls for blood had been made
by the local hospital to the unit
and the word has come back that
there is no blood available.
Mrs. Stemple has procured ID
blood donors since June IA who have
been giving direct to the hospital,
but these volunteers are never
credited at Johnstown. Only the
blood that goes through that organi-
cation is credited to the area, she
said.
Mrs. Stemple said she had spent
several hours this week calling for
contributors for emergency use at
the hospital and would appreciate
it if the people would cooperate in
this endeavor.
She repeated again the urgency
of the blood program.

Home Destroyed By
Fire at Corinth

The frame dwelling owned by
Lloyd Sylvester at Corinth, w. Va,
was completely destroyed by fire
of undetermined origin early last
Friday moring about $50 o'clock.
Oakland firemen answered the call
and made the six mile run in rec
ord time but the flames had gained
too great Roadway. The fire fighters
did however, prevent the loss of
two nearby homes. Also assisting
were firemen from the Terra Alta
fire department.
The house was occupied by
Maude Sylvester and two other
adults.
The home was located on the
sharp turn just before crossing the
overhead bridge.
