INCOMPETENCE IN THE PENTAGON Senator Stuart Symington has charged that the peo- ple are not being ‘given the truth by defense officials and believes that this country is not making sufficient prepar- ation for an emerggncy which threatens to overtake it. Senator Symington’s blast is only one of a recent se- ries from investigators in Congress, who are impressed with the inefficiency they find in the Pentagon. Another senator charged recently that the slowness in production of artillery ammunition since the Korean war broke out in 1950, is a national scandal. The question of bungling and inefficiency in the De- fense Department is an issue rapidly coming to a head. Not only do American taxpayers spend over forty billions of dollars a year to sustain the armed services, but they also spend another six billions for veterans and veterans’ benefits. Counting another six or. seven billions spent on military and economic aid programs abroad, the taxpay- ers’ levy for defense measures is truly a gigantic one, comprising two-thirds of the U. S. budget! Tt was disclosed several months ago that, with a force of about three and a half million men and women in the armed services today, the military services now have on duty more generals and admirals than were on the payroll at the height of World War II, .when over ten million men were in service. This shows the trend toward top brass, big salaries and inefficiefft operation. Another investigation recently showed that, for every fighting man on the Korean front, several desk-chair fighters were required behind the lines. The figure was a distinct contrast to the proportion in the enemy army in Korea, where fewer chair-warmers are required per man at the front than in the U.S. Army. Senator Bstes Kefauver, and many other senators, recently put enough pressure on the Navy to win for a captain who had achieved excellent results in the Navy’s atomic subma- rine effort a new chance for the promotion to, admiral. The captain had been twice passed over by naval selec. tion boards, although the senators believed there was no legitimate reason for his rejection, aside from personal considerations, : A careful investigation will show that the United States has won most of its wars with superior numbers and material, although the quality of military leadership has sometimes been less than desired. Since the Korean war began, it has been obvious that defense efforts are not coordinated properly, that production has not been what it should have been and that military leaders have given the country some poor advice. The U. S. taxpayer, spending what he is to support the Defense Department, has a right to demand more from the armed services of his country.

This flourishing weed in Ameri- ca’s present Garden of Plenty is guided only by the golden goal— It is & matter of opinion whether the male or female free loader has it better.

Free loaders today are found in every community, in every levél of society. They come in all ages, shapes, and sizes—and the usual sexes. These life-on-the-cuff artists are united by three simple beliefs: 1, “This is a free country, isn’t arr 2. free. 3. “A poor friend is a poor Everybody is victimized now and then by amateur free loaders (such as relatives), but the natural tar- gets of the true pros are the bored well-to-do and newly-rich, urisure people who need experienced help in getting rid of their cash. A topflight free loader: here in Manhattan can fatten himself by introducing into cafe society a prestige-starved, retired chicken rancher with an appetite for the world of dazzle. All the chicken rancher has to do is reach for the tabs, “lend” the free ioader folding money regular- ly, and soon he is a big-name in cafe society.

Some of them even prehap: admire as a fellow craftsman a man who is able to wheedle his way through life. The feminine cadge artist, of course, has a big edge when it comes to making dupes out of male dopes. Who expects a pretty lad: to buy her own drinks or pay for her meals? What well-heeled guy minds a loan to tide her over the first of the month while she waits for the right job that smehow never comes along? Actually the gal probably doesn’t think of herself as free toading. She just ‘calls it a kind of court- ship, known by some cynics as the oldest form of free loading. But a real lady free loader is no golddigger who trades her favors Her motto is still “something for nothing,” not “something for some- thing.” And any chump with a padded wallet who makes the mis- take of marrying one of these dames soon finds that his reward hair.
