The Army can see to it that some installa- tions are not greatly overstaffed while others have too few doctors, and it can see to it that established specialists are not assigned to duties entirely unrelated to their specialized fields.

Wilson Hubert Wells Personnel relationship in the armed forces come in for some pretty scorching criticism from Robert | Wood Johnson in the August Harper's. Mr. Johnson, a wartime brigadier general and vice chairman of the | War Production Board and an industrialist of stand-l ing, implies strongly that in military “management ' by compulsion” lies the “Maginot Line of America.” As an alternative he suggests that more attention be given to developing the quality of leadership whic | evokes spontaneous and willing response, similar to the ! | casteless allegiance which he says prevails in industry. | Specifically he opposes the concept of universal mili- | |tary training, at least until there has been a whole- |sale house cleaning of the personnel system—and in that event he says UMT would be unnecessary. i Much of what Mr. Johnson says of the deterrents inherent in “the red tape, the extravagance, the | inefficiency. the bad planning and the general obfusca- {tion” is too profoundly true to need comment. There “Xs no denying that in too many instances the Army | | has displayed a singular genius. for forcing square pegs !into round holes and removing what little dignity the ‘individual retains. It is only fair, however, to recog- nize the acute consciousness of these defects which has overtaken the Army.
