The Washingfon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) Drew Pearson’s hands. What stumps the investigators, however, is that the column also quoted what Gen- eral Bradley said off-the-record—| which doesn't even appear in the stenographic transcripts. So far the subcommittee suspects a certain Republican Senator of leaking the story to Pearson, bu® I can assure the subcommittee that its chief suspect wasn't even pre- sent during Bradley's testimony. Meanwhile, this column serves notice that any time a responsible officlal is misquoted on anything the public is entitled to know about, the column will do its best to get the true facts.

Leverett Salton- stall, good citizen you believe we should live within our means.” Yes, but I would like to quality that,” Bradley hesitated. “You don’t want to qualify the good citizen part,” smiled Salton- stall.

On the books, the NSRB has the vital job of blueprinting civil defense, relo- cating industries, finding the most effective use of resources, and plan- ning for regulating production, manpower, and government facil- ities in time of emergency. But, this all-important board has been both leaderless and kicked round by agencies that should be obeying its orde: The military-controlled mupitions beard is now virtually independent atomic commission has not turned over enough hard facts atomic warfare to plan a realistic civil defense. And, the Services Administration want to give the board government. Inside reason why the NSRB takes such a kicking around is tifgt it has had no full-time boss. John Steelman, the eager professor and No. 1 Whm' House aide, is the acting chairman. His method of op- eration was to take a quick peek at the board once a week, see a few officials on the run, and dash back across the street to the White House. During the coal strike and the Presidential junket to Key the only way to reach Steel- man was by telephone. Note—The kidnapping of the re-| luctant Symington for this key post was a neat double play by Secretary of Defense Johnson, Symington was the last remaining armed force se- 1 have |’ son to handle. Neither conscientious Navy Secretary Francis Matthews nor Secretary-of-the-Army-to-be Frank Pace is likely to get in a public scrap with Johnson over economy cuts. MEMBERS OF ALASKA WING MAY COME HERE INSPECT LOCAL SQUAD The Juneau squadron of the Civil Air Patrol inadvertently reported to The Daily Alaska Empire on April 6 that General Spaatz®might in- spect the local unit in August.
