NATiUnAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 141L Peurth Avenue Bldy , Seattle, Wash. ANOTHER CAREER MAN P. Anderson as Secretary of To succeed Clinton Agriculture, the President has chosen long-term ¢ Agriculture, Charles employee of the Department of a F. Brannan. A Denver lawyer, Mr. Brannan has been with the department for 13 years, beginning as a jonal attorney in his home city and moving up civil service ladder to become Assistant Secretary in 1944 A few months ago Mr. Truman filled another cabi- net post by advancing a career employee to the top in the Post Office Department. The practice of mov- ing career men to the highest appointive posts in the ‘Federal service is not new, but it seems to be gaining some ground in the Truman administration Such appointments usually insure cabinet officers or Ambassadors, in that branch of the civil servici who know the detail of their work who are thor- oughly familiar with public administration, and who PR know their way around Washington of career personnel have another advantage. encourage men and women in various grades of the civil service to stay on, even when promotion is slow and salaries lag behind When it is shown, occasionally, that career people can go all the way to the top, the morale of the ranks below 'is strengthened. A cabinet top-heavy with career men would be unfortunate, however. For it is considerably than a group of administrators. It is, or ought to be, a balanced group of outstanding citizens, not only well informed in their special fields, but capable of discussing the largest policy problems of the country That is why the prices. and advising the President on them to include men from busi cabinet normally cught oS agriculture, banking, the law and other fields, nd from carious parts of the country STATESMAN NEEDED of our In the proud histcry tively short life The Washington Merry-Go-Round By DREW—I’-EARSON (Continued trom Page One) and | Whether these any law Certainly, by ed ater to tions, here is the reason why. ® . well as the letter of the word'cooperation and peace | Appointments | They | more | remains to be using speeches 1esclutions of a United States Sen- influence At- market, they violated a lot of busi- | as a nation, these United Stateés have produced many outstanding statesmen, men such as Washington, Lin- coln, Clay, Jefferson, Patrick Henry and many others.

It was he, who with the help of Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin, set forth, in the Atlantic Charter and the plans | for the United Nations, the blueprinits for world peace These two documents deserve equal place with the Magna Carta and our own documents as the plans and guarantees of human lives and liberties. 4 Today we are straying far away from the spirit we so earnestly desire. The reason? We do not have the leadership which 'we had. When the conyentions meet this year, it is hoped that they leave no stone | unturned in the search for a great ledder. /Let it not make any difference if he be Republican, Democrat or Liberal, as long as he has the ability to guide us ely to the shores of peace. | Now is no time for petty political differences to| There are important issues | enter into the picture at stake. bordination | (Washington Post) Nothing can be so heart-warming to an enemy as, the intraservice free-for-all now going on. The uni- | fication which is needed, and for which we believe | Secretary Forrestal is sincerely striving, is not a uni-| fication of thinking. It is, rather, a unity of approach and an assurance that decisions, once arrived at by |defense chiefs after considering the tacts, will ‘be re spected and not sabotaged by fifth-column activity :\t“ | cocktail parties. A unified policy in-which all the| services participate by conviction is,infinitely to be | preferred to one achieved by flat;but the knowledge | |that sterner compulsions are available may be helpful | to Secretary Forrestal in his present efforts | One highly effective cure for insubordination Is described by that wise old statesman, Henry L. Stim- {son, in his book, On Active Service. The situation | | which prevailed in the Army when Mr. Stimson became | Secretary of War under President Taft was not unlike | |the present imbroglio. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, the new Chief of Staff, was attempting to implement the new concept of a general staff, a concept with | which Mr. Stimson agreed. The chief foe of the move was the Army adjutant general, Maj. Gen. Fred C, Ainsworth. Early in 1912, the conflict came to a head | with submission of a memorandum by Ainsworth *so | grossly insubordinate that as soon.as he read it Stim- | |son realized that the time for drastic action' had |come.” Secretary Stimson brookew no foolishness. After | consulting with Army legal authorities, he learned that | there were two disciplinary means available: ad- | ministrative punishment and court-martial. He choose | the latter, for, as he savs, “When I had to deal a| blow, I believed in striking hard.” The court- | martial of a high-ranking general officer presented | difficulties, for it was necessary that the board bc‘ composed of officers of similar rank. Mr. Stimson | | called upon a number of retired generals to serve qn the court. This, however, proved unnecessary, for, con- fronted with the prospect of such decisive action,! General Ainsworth backed down and requested retire- ment. In evaluating the result of the ouster, Secre- Itary Stimson observes: * . it enabled the depart- | |ment to work as a harmonious team and it dealt a | | death blow to the idea that any one member of that | | team could run his office for his own personal ad- | vancement.” Onl | urer st | insurance companies.

EXIT U. S. AMBASSADOR The American Ambassador ' to Egypt, S. Pinkney Tuck, has sud- denly resigned to go to work for the British, and the White House isn't at all happy about it.

What makes the White House un- happy is that Tuck is familiar !with all American diplomatic sec-| | rets pertaining to the Middle East.! NS i e o6 0 0 0 0 - « 8 00 ° . . TIDE TABLE . . — . .
