By BOB SLOAN For years the operators of most j news media, whether it be news- ! papers, radio commentators, or | magazines, when dealing with j military leaders of our country ! in an editorial vein have been | unjust, unfair, and prejudiced ; Why. I have never understood. | but military leaders and editorial ' writers seem to regard each other in about the same light that dogs and cats do. Of courser this does n't apply when we are at War I and patriotism is running hot in everyone's blood. In normal times ( most Of our editorial writers take k great delight _ in picturing our , 1 highest military leaders as, "a j ' group of narrow minded individ uals ? vain with pomp and jealous of their prestiege, bicker ing about service position with th? j safety of the country at stake." I recently read an article by Hanson W. Baldwin, who is recog nized as one of the news writers who is best informed on the mill- ] tary situation and personnel in the United States ? he is the military analyst for The New York Times ? which described the j above view as unadulterated non sense. Mr. Baldwin further points out that contrary to public opinion (which is but a reflection of what the various news media feed the public, it was not rivalry or competition between the armed services that delayed our launch ing of an earth satellite for at least six months to a year. It was, he says, mistaken civilian judge ment that prevented service com petition. He backs this up by pointing out that the Army had, fully a year ago, missle "hard- I ware" with sufficient thrust to 1 launch a satellite, but the Van- j 1 PLUMBING And HEATING I For A-l Work at Reasonable Rate* < CALL < W.

Other examples of the military nistakes made due to civilian de risions cited by Mr. Baldwin are eduction in the military budget >etween World War II and the Corean War, and the dominant balanced-budget" philosophy of he Secretary of Treasury and the director of the Budget Bureau. Mr. Baldwin cited as one of the nam problems in the Pentagon he tremendous layer of civilian >ersonnel that has been built up it Department of Defense level. There are. he said, a total of ?hirty civilian secretaries or their equivalent in the Pentagon who ran give directives to the military :hiefs of service, even though .hese civilians have no legal re sponsibility. According to Mr. Baldwin the ;asic law of sound organization ? the coupling of authority with esponsibility ? has been broken n the Pentagon. What makes t worse. Mr. Baldwin added, is hat virtually all of the senior civilians are political appointees vho know little about the military ind stay at their posts only a >rief time. I certainly enjoyed the article ind was glad to see for once in jeace time the shoe of military lefense put where it fits the best. VIrs.
