SKHERN bell Telephone and Teleoraph company mCOftPOCATU ' t WASHINGTON General "Ike Eisenhower is taking over one of the biggest jobs of his life. His predecessor as army chlef-of-stalT. General George C. Mar shall built up one of the strong est armies in the world to help win the war. Ike will have to work with much less to help win the peace. There is no doubt that the kind of army the United States has in the coming years will tell to a great extent whether or not the surrenders which ended World War Two were just another armis tice before an even greater catas trophe. Eisenhower, like Marshall, be Jivese that only through strength can America hope to maintain its own security and the peace . . . that weakness in the ypars to come is an invitation to aggression . . . that from a broad outlook, the United States owes it to the world to remain strong so that would-be international bandits would hesi tate to clash with our ideals and interests ... and that from a purely selfish viewpoint, the Unit ed States must maintain its strength to protect those very Ideals and interests should another group of mad-men set out on the bloody trail of world conquest. The importance of American military' might plays in even peaceful diplomacy was powerful ly portrayed by the aged former Secretary of State Hull in telling the tragic story of international double-dealing which led to the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. When he first took over at the state department, Hull told the Pearl Harbor committee, he ex pected that when foregin diplo mats came to talk to him, they would look him in the face. In stead, he soon found they were looking over his shoulders at our army and navy, and he found that America's military establishment, or lack of same, were present without invitation at these inter national conferences. For all practical purposes, Eis enhower must start almost from scratch in building this peacetime army. The powerful striking force erected in wartime is being torn dow under the impact of swift demobilization. In cpnpral nnlv occupation armies are being left intact. Ike will have the job of build ing it up all over again. Of course not to anywhere like the size it was in war, but rather to a strik ing power which will command respect and serve as adeauate warnings to any hopeful conquer ors. This should be okav with Ike. He's convinced that the armv of the future will be vastly dif ferent than the ones we've had in the past. His ideas on this matter are keynotcd by a storv told by a senator, who toured Eu rope on an investigation of surplus property, and saw Eisenhower. The senator, astounded at the vast amounts of surplus military equipment left over from the war, asked the General what should be done with if. How much should we keep? How much should we sell to other countries? How much should be destroyed? The lawmak er was greatly disturbed over the great effect this vast amount of equipment could have for good or evil. In effect, this is what the General told him: For all he cares, we can take almost all the equipment and sell it or give it away or dump it in the ocean. The next war. if war must come, will be fought with entirely different weapons, and he'd rather concentrate on scientific develop ments to build up entirely new weapons for the future United States Army, rather than depend upon the big supply of old weap ons on hand. Before Eisenhower can reallv get going he'll have to know what powers he has, what material he's going to be able to work with. For instance, congress still has to say what the size of the peacetime army will be. Also, whether there will be universal military training. Ike has argued strongly for this, making a special trip back from Europe to urge this peacetime training program on congress, and if he doesn't get it, there's no question but that he'll demand a larger standing armv. In addition, there's the question of unification of the armed serv ices, which Eisenhower has. said is imperative if we are not to be caught disorganized in another Pearl Harbor. On this question of unification, Eisenhower's greatest personal contribution to victory, his associates have said, was his great ability to blend, to unify seemingly disintegrated military units into a single, powerful strik ing force. If unification ever comes, to Ike might well fall the job of being this country's first secretary of national defense, even though he s a military man, and by tradition and policies, the war and navy secretaries are civilians in the United States.

HABITAT With The COLUMMISTS DEFENSE MERGER David Lawrence The truth is we won the war by teamwork. There was, of course, some efficiency in Washington. But this was due to the overwhelm ing size of the two major departments and their topheaviness and not because they were not large enough. Actually an impartial In vestigation of the War Department would disclose that size materially impeded efficiency there. The way to find out more on this phase is to summon some of the civilian officers who donned uniform and who are now back in civilian life. They may be able to tell how the War Department in Wash ington really functioned and whether a merger wouldn't make lt even more difficult to get rid of duplication inside the army and air forces. DAV1ES ALARMED Drew Pearson Ex-Ambassador Joseph E. Davies, one of the best envoys ever sent to Russia, is writing a book which will make some fur bristle around the State Department. Davies is shocked at the Truman-Byrnes policy toward Russia, says that inside the State Department a vicious anti Russian group is out to stir up trouble perhaps eventual war with the Soviet. Davies wants Truman and Stalin to sit down across from each other and put all their cards on the table face up. . He feels the USA and the USSR, each with tremendous wealth and tremendous territory, are the last nations in the world to he natural enemies though they can be if certain clique ; in both countries keep stirring things up. RIVALRY SHOULD END Ernest K. Lindley Secretary Forrestal's proposal that the whole question be given fur ther study by a civilian commission would have been received more favorably if it had been urged earlier. Such a study would take time. Unless action is taken, the services will revert to their pie-war relation ship six months after the formal cessation of hostilities. Testimony on the single department bills has brought out sharply the rivalries among the services, and so has undei lined, in the minds of many Con gressmen, the need for prompt action to prevent the rivalries from becoming worse. Comdr. Mack Davis Home on Terminal Leave Here With Parents Lt Commander Mack Davis, U. S. navy, la on terminal leave and will be officially discharged on February 6. He is spending part of his leave here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Davis. Comdr.

Davis, dentist, practiced his profession in Huzelwood. He plans to re-enter his profession but will open offices in Furt Lauderdale, Fla. His offices will be located at 15 South East, 16th street.

Ketner, who en tered the service on December 22, 1942, has recently been discharged from the armed forces. He was at tached to the 238th Engineers of the First Army, and has to his credit 26 months of overseas duty. Sgt. Ketner served in England, vas with the invasion forces on -Day, and went into Belgium, Hol 'and and Germany.

TOO FEW TRUTHS TOLD Marquis Childs One fact emerges above all others. The American people were not told enough of the truth in the critical year of 19-11. Truth-telling was perhaps impossible in 1940.

PHILIPPINE ISSUES Wm. Philip Simms The Philippines have been held up to the world for decades as a sort of colonial model. Held in tutrlaoi- t "j " uuiu ul ni l lltrtJ JUOL as soon as they learned how to govern themselves. The date of their independence has been fixed. To change that date now, even for the Filipinos' own good, would be misunderstood clear around the globe but especially in Asia. Colonial powers have always claimed they were acting for the colonials' own good whether they were building native hospitals' or restoring law and order with machineguns For wha: ver reason of delay, we would not be believed and those who have faith in us would be terribly disillusioned. GIVE HIM A BREAK Peter Edson Thoughtless people forget the responsibilities which hang over a President's weary head. What to do with the atomic bomb is a de cision that must largely be made by the President. That one responv sibility is bigger than most people have in a whole lifetime. A President has many others. It would be simple good business, therefore, to permit the President to enjoy a little more of Drivafr lifn Anv m,,.-, i r :j a. operate in high gear when he's on the job. To keep in condition he snoum De permitted to idle in neutral and have his oil changed frequently. Kept running constantly, fatigue sets in and decisions are hard to grind out. Whon faticmo h . - . . .o w.nuuaiiuM it is impossioie 10 make any decisions at all, and that is still worse for the public interest. OUR DRIFTING SHIP Walter Lippman As the President is now conducting his administration, there is no prospect whatever of his becoming again, as he was four months ago invested as few men In history have ever been, with the opportunity to shape events because he was the leader of a mighty and victorious people wanting above all things a decent and lasting peace There is no prospect, as the Truman Administration is organized and v.v,..v,uu ui us recovering me control of the situation. Only a radical change in the inner working of the Administration can now pre vent the situation which is not under control from becoming uncontroll able. Mr. Truman's trouble is that neither he nor his chief Cabinet officers, who conduct our foreign relations, are devoting enough of their time, their energy or their minds to the great issues.
