In th ;| famed battle off the River Plate,| UNHAPPY ADMIRAL Unhappiest Admiral in the Navy | today is probably Louis chief of Naval Operations, one of | T the squarest shooters ever to com mand a battle wagon. Denfeld is right in the middle|* of the Navy-Air Force battle, a battle which he did not start. Now that it’s started he is publicly sid- ing with his brother admirals. But before it started, he expressed the private view that the Navy could better use more money for sub- marines and smaller airplane car- riers, rather than putting all its eggs in the giant experimental air- plane carrier which has now be- come the war cry of the admirals. Since then, some admirals have tried to cold-shoulder Denfeld, ac- cused him of transferring Adm. Arthur Radford out to the Pacific because he had been a contender for Denfeld’s job—an accusation completely untrue. Rows like the present flare-up are not unusual in the Navy, and the situation between Admirals Radiord and Denfeld is not unlike ‘a similar Navy fracas which har- vested just as many headlines back in the Hoover Administration. It illustrates the unfortunate fact that the admirals frequently put their! Jjudgment ahead of their command- | er-in-chief. At that time, the admirals, who worship bigness, were bent on build- ing a lot of 10,000-ton, 8-inch-gun cruisers, and refused to go along with Secretary of State Stimson on a treaty of limitation. Spearhead' of the Navy attack against Stim- son was salty Adm. Hilary —the Admiral Radford of his day. and Jones | But siding with Stimson, holding the same Chief of Nav Operations job which Admiral Den- feld occupies today, was Adm. Will- | iam V. Pratt. Pratt believed that smaller cruisers with 6-inch guns! could ffre faster, and were more| effective at close range or at night. | But because he held these views | Pratt was almost ostracized from | the Navy. For a time his fellow | admirals would not speak to him And when he retired as Chief of | Naval Operations, almost no one was on hand to see him depart. | LEAK | THE ADMIRALS As today, the admirals arranged Ford in the Kendler Apartments.| a series of “leaks” and threaten- ed the resignation of Admiral Jones. As today also, various Congres: men took up the cudgels and debat- €d the pros and ¢ons of the 8-inch- gun and 6-inch-gun cruiser—much " to -the delight of the Japanese retary Stimson forced into building some fast 6-inch-gun cruisers turned out to be the Navy’s salvation when it came to patrol-|one cannot ling the vast South Pacific dur-|him, refuse to lend more, refuse United States lots of money before | Denrem.i‘h" British Navy with small, fast- moving 6-inch-gun cruisers was ]_twmplelely victorious over the 10,- | 000-ton German cruiser carrying 8- nch guns What Admiral Pratt had argued in the face of almost every other| admiral about the speed and mo- bility of proved right. the small cruiser, was And the fact that Pratt and Sec- the Navy ing the recent war. THE MYSTERIOUS MARAGON Jack O'Brien, director of infor- mation for the office of Housing Expediter, got a phone call some time ago from a man with a thiak accent who said: “This is Drew Pearson calling, and I want to know why Colonel James Hunt spends to much time around your office? If you're not careful I'm going to write a story about it. You'd better get rid of that fellow Hunt.” The alleged “Drew Pearson” re- ferred to “Five-percenter” James Hunt, the friend of General Harry Vaughan and supposedly also the friend of the mysterious Maragon Howeyver, Jack O'Brien, being rea- | sonably familiar with the voice of | this columnist, recognized the thick accent to be that of Maragon, him- self.

The jtheory is that if nobody has the money to buy American goods, give it to them for nothing so that they can earn dollars, not to pay | debts, but to compete with us. | That way, we shall become rich! Bedaux foresaw the necessity of doing plenty to the weak and back- ward countries. He conceived thy wonderful idea of planting peanuts in Africa and building a pipeline across the Sahara Desert, through which to bring peanut oil to the Nazis. That the pipeline would also carry water and thus make the building of the trans-Sahara rail- road possible was incidenetal to ringing peanut oil to the Germans.{ i When Bedaux was a prisoner of the FBI, he made the point that| he was really serving the United ‘Stmes. because he was diverting German steel from war purposes to jpeanut oil.
