In fact, they use words far less refined. Air Force pilots who sometimes go into battle against superior Com- munist odds believe the Navy i trying to hide the fact that its jets are inferior to the MIGs. Since the Navy specializes in fighters, and not long ago boasted the best jet fighter plane in the world, this is a bitter pill to swallow. Navy pilots today are among the best in the world, but apparently planes haven't kept up with either the Air Force or the enemy. As a re- sult only two MIGs have been shot down by the Navy during the Kor- ean war. One was bagged by a Navy Panther jet some time ago, the other by a Navy pilot who, however, flew an Air Force Sabre jet. DEBATE OVER McGRATH President Truman’s advisers are split down the seam on a bold move to oust Attorney General Howard McGrath and name crusading Sen. | Estzs Kefauver to clean up the Jus- tice Department. This proposal was pushed back- stagé by Averell Harriman, who has been on speaking trips out of ‘Washington and knows how deeply the corruption issue is hurting; al- so by usually cautious White House counsel Charlie Murphy, and the younger staff mmebers. Their argument with the Presi- dent is: “The investigations are not going to stop with Internal Rev- cnue and RFC, but will go into Alien Property Custodian, Surplus Property and possibly the Federal Judiciary right up to the Supreme Court. The American people won't be satisfied unless the administra- tion cleans house boldy and dramat- jcally. A sure-fire way to regain public confidence is to name Sen- ator Kefauver as Attorney General, giving him complete authority to prosecute, no matter who is hurt.” Mr. Truman seems to like the idea and has been saying privatély: “I've always been loyal to my frineds. But they haven't been fair to me.” On the other side, a force, Matt Connelly,” who sits next to the President and makes all his appointments, is more than cool. Connelly vigorously defends his fellow Irishman in the Justice Department and has been digging up political friends of Mr. Truman to talk up McGrath and talk do his ouster. The decisive factor and still on the fencé is the forthright new National Democratic Chairman, Frank McKinney. McKinney owes powerful his appointment to Connelly, but| agrees with Harriman that cor- ruption is the issue and requires bold steps by the administratics. In a recent talk with Presideut Truman, McKinney told him in ef fect: “You don’t have any obliga-| — EHPIIKE WANT ADS PAY — | is | of a candidate. ation |To a considerable extent this les- |sens the chance of the American presidential a President. For, | while they can elect, not many can | nominate. This frequently leaves the sel- |ection of the presidential nominee a matter of barter and backstage lobbying by the party bosses. | This was true when Bob Hanne- gan and the big-city bosses fin- |agled in the Blackstone Hotel to | pick Truman for vice president in ;19-14. It was also true of the fa- |mous smoke-filled room confer- |ence in the same Blackstone Hotel which picked Harding in 1920. And it was likewise true that most Dem- ocratic delegates in 1948 were roped {and hog-tied for Truman before | they ever took the train to Phila- | delphia. Today, |people to elect Taft scouts have been combking every state in the union, pledging delegates six months in advance. Some of these may repre- | sent the people of their state, some !may not. Some may realize that world conditions, the threat of war, the hopes for peace, ‘can change ithe world in six months, and with jthem can change the presidential needs of the nation. | Therefore, to sound out the true | political sentiment of the American people through the 600 newspapers publishing the Washington Merry- | Go-Round, this column is conduct- g a post-card poll on the Repub- lican candidates. | poll will come later.)
