Beattle, Wash. Alas ewspapers, 1411 One Defense Or Three Washington Post) i The proposal to elevate Mr. Sidney Souers to the | ition now occupied by Admiral William D. Leahy | hief of Staff to the President illustrates one of the ! ic inconsistencies of the present kind of unification. | These inconsistencies result both. from flaws in the! Unification Act itself and from the failure of the three | | services fully to implement the act as it stands. T | newspaper has supported Secretary Forrestal against earping critics who expect too much in too short a time, but acknowledgment of the genuine accomplish- | ments under unification only makes more necessary ! | an effort to correct the defects. There is no more reason for the President to | have a personal Chief of Staff than for him to have| | \wrmy. The effect of this ex-officio position, | ive of the ability of the holder, is to undercut | he authority of the Secretary of Defense.

T are working on ways to protect the ten million residents of Long It’'s not the bomb that worries the scientists, but the deadly waste gases that will be discharged into | the air beginning this spring whtn: the world’s most powerful atom pile goes into action at Brookhaven, | Long Island—only 50 miles from | New York City ! The scientists have noted that! under certain wind and atmospher- io conditions even the lightest| smoke will emerge from a chim- | ney and settle to the ground. If | the radioactive gases from the new atomic pile were to blow down in- | stead of up and hover close to the | earth in a densely populated area, | the result might be tragic To avoid any possible danger | from this direction, Dr. Lyle Borst, noted physicist in charge of the new pile, called on the experts of the U. S Wezather Bureau for assistance, Today the two groups of scien- tists—atomic and weather—are ex- ploring every angle of low-level weather conditions. They feel that if they can learn enough about what makes smoke go down instead ¢f up they'll then be able to fore see the approach of dangerous mospheric conditions. As scientist puts it: “When we finish our research, zll the smoke and fumes that leave the Brookhaven pile will go in one direction, up and they’ll keep on going up Note: Weathermen think ti the research underway at Brook- haven may go 2 long way in pre- venting tragedies due to industrial smoke. They're thinking of Don- ora’s recent smog victims FORRESTAL VS. FORRI AL Senators who are studying De- fense Secretary Forrestal's demands for sweeping power over the Secre- taries for Air, Army and Navy can't help remembering one thing which the public may have forgot The James Forrestal who now de- mands such sweeping power is the very same James Forrestal who with his Wall Street partner, wrote the National Defense setup which he now complains about. Senators are also inclined to be lieve that when a man fails at a one Island ( and New York City from possible |the Army, Na exposure to deadly atomic radiation. iWhM c'mmm&g | restal and Eberstadt purpos of his own lobbying When President Truman, as a re- sult of his Seratorial work on the Truman Committee, poposed unifi cation of the Army and Navy, For restal, then Secretary of the Navy waged a vigorous, poorly concealed campaign against it. Forrestal’s campaign was so suc- cessful that he was finally asked wh cembination of the armed forces would suit him; so he brought in his old Wall Street part- ner, Ferdinand Eberstadt, to draft the answer. The compromise he drafted was called the “Eberstadt Plan.” This loose-knit regrouping of and Air Forces was eventually bought and is in effect today. In it For- ly set up the loose controls which For- tal now complains about EBERSTADT REVIEWS EBERSTADT Later, Herbert Hoover, charged with the job of reorganizing the executive branch of the govern- ment, called Eberstadt back and asked him to head the committee |reviewing the success of unific: tion. There was considerable pro- test against this inside the Hoover Commission, for it violated a well- founded American principle that a man should not sit as judge in reviewing his own decisions That principle was discarded however, and Mr. Hoover decreed |that Eberstadt should sit as judge to decide if his own unification plan was working. The result was as could be expected. Eberstadt found little wrong with the Eberstadt Plan. Eberstadt and Jim Forrestal have fecunght many battle shoulder houlder. They were not only part- ners in Dillon Read and Company pack in the days when their fim poured millions into Germany, but |they were partners in backing the military in the struggle against civ- ilians in the War Production Board This time, however, Forrestal quietly split with his old partner His plea last week for far-reachi power over the Secretaries Air, Navy and Army shows the ¢ tent of the split.
