PAGE FOUR Ivnsu\'x.w, Invariably, the cost of operation far ex- ceeds the cost of purchasing the required printed| matter. California is a notable example. A recent report by that state’s senate investigating commit- tee discloses that, since the state plant has been in operation, printing costs have risen so sharply as to varrant a close scrutiny by that body. The report | cites instance after instance where work performed in the state printing plant has cost the tu v more than three times competitive market. That printing is best done by printers is axiomatic. Sideline ventures, such as that contemplated by the Employment Security Commission, undertaken with- wise credited in this paper and also the local news published : equipment, can only result in failure—at the taxe herein, payer's expense.

These assurances were undoubtedly given in good faith. However , if this is indeed the case, we fail to see how the Commission can justify purchase of equipment that it does not intend to utilize to its; fullest capacity. Apparently, the Commission has given little thought to the problems their printing venture will entail. For one thing, a skilled offset pressman will be required to operate and maintain the press. At} prevailing wage scales, his salary will be at least $110.00 weekly. Excluding the equipment price, the + |cost of paper, inks, composition and miscellaneous expenses, his salary for the biennium ($11.400.00) will exceed by nearly $2,000.00 the Commission’s total} Alaska printing bill for the two years just past. The date set for the bid opening is Monday, September 10. It is to be hoped that the Commission will give serious thought to the problems outlined »ffset printing press. above and act in the best interests of the people Since then, printers and publishers in every judi- | #hose money they propose to spend.

But even that time is some years away. Eventually, and eventually means quite a™bit off, there may be a time when we may“even be in a third phase when guided missiles will have reached a stage of development far beyond where they are now, when they may be able to take over all or most of the job of the man-flown airplane. But we haven't even reached the middle stage where guided missiles can take over an important part of the function of the man-flown airplane. There are, however, some chan- ges that we can estimate at the end of this two year period for which we must plan now. The most important of these is the fact that the atomic weapons re- sources of both ourselves and of our potential enemies will increase importantly. This requires a major develop- ment in our planning. Heretofore| we in the Air Force have not been! able to think in terms of being able to use atomic weapons for| the actual battle lines. Now we can| think in these terms and must make our plans accordingly. This does not mean that this tactical operation is to become the main| task of the Air Force. The job of the strategic air command will not be diminished by this new develop- | ment. On the contrary the work of SAC will be increased because it will have more weapons it can use. R Incidentally, when thinking about | these various functions of the Air| Force we must not fall into the er- ror of ewhat someone "has called monogamous thinking—that is the notion that you can’t be married | to more than one idea at a time. ‘We must not think because we see of common planning and coordin- ation without interfering with the morale that comes from having separate forces. This is the way a lot of modern industry works. General Motors, for example, is a decentralized operation which thakes a lot of different types of cars with different names and gives a good deal of autonomy to the! managements of the individual companies. The same is true of the U. S. Steel Corporation and count- less other companies. It seems to me a better system than the one uniform-one service idea. But to make it work involves a lot of re- straint and wisdom on the part of those who are in the separate ser- vices, especially at a time such as the present when we are not at full war but where we are in phase of expansion, (Incidentally, when you get to the actual fighting front in Korea these problems of unification come ‘close to being entirely eliminated.) On the whole, I think that uni- fication is working quite well. The responsibility for seeing that it dobs work is at the top with the' service secretaries and the joini chiefs. The spirit of healthy rival- ry among the services cannot and should not be suppressed. But it is up to those in charge to see to it that this' rivalry does not get be- yond certain self-imposed limits. I think that this'is being’ done very well. It is being done Ly the“joint chiefs of staff and it is being done among the three service secretar- ies. Personally, I have never work- ed with more cooperative and fairminded colleagues than Secre- tary of the Army Pace, former Secretary of the Navy Matthews and new the new secretary of the Navy Dan Kimball. 3. It may seem that peace is not the busihess of the military es- tablishrgent, but I do not agree with this. 1 think that we in the United States have gone about this have to build a force which will{ protect the country from disaster | if our efforts fail and war comes. | | But this deterrent quality of our | force is something that we must and do have constantly in mind.
