common that it is not regarded as intermarriage The Indian is regarded not as a member of another race but of another nation— Dr E E Dale University of Oklahoma professor Work lor the Aging Bombers Jets Versatile Fighters in Korean Witt In Defense State Groups lites He accordingly ordered a study to determine where the kremlin was most likely to strike During the course o£ this study a defense department view of the military situation in Korea was requested The defense department quickly returned an answer — the South Koreans were so strong that the North would never dare attack Thus Korea was stricken oil the list of possible areas of satellite aggression and the United States was even less prepared to deal with the danger when it otherwise would have been Intelligence Failure This might be interpreted at ah intelligence failure In fact U was nothing of the sort—the central Intelligence agency had estimated with reasonable accuracy the strength of the North Korean forces It reflected something a great deal more serious than Inadequate intelligence— the total breakdown of any close working relationship between the state and defense departments For so obviously nonsensical a military estimate would not have been either submitted or accepted while the two departments were working intimately together as in the days of George Marshall James Forrestal and Robert Lovett This sort of thing could only happen when the two departments were working at arm's length And the fact Is that the state and defense departments are now not only working at arm's length they are working in an atmosphere of beady-eye- d mutual suspicion and open hostility This is a situation which simply cinnot be allowed to continue Indefinitely There are all sorts of minor personal and petty instancies of this defense hostility A second-levdepartment official for example whose job was liaiaon with the state department was recently demoted because he was "too frienddely to state" Another fense official who must also work with the state department remarks that he is "in the doghouse because I haven't tried to beat state down" And so on Serious Examples There are other far more serious examples of what is going on Effective liaison between the state and defense departments on the real political-strategi- c situation Is virtually because as one official put it "state isn't on the defense department's confidential list" The state department thus must try to make Far Eastern policy for example without knowing the real military estimate of the likelihood of holding in South Korea or the true estimate of the rapidity with which ft counter - offensive can be mounted This means that policy decisions are consistently shoved under the rug and this in turn has its converse effect Because no one in the state department can tell anyone in the defense department whether it is American policy to go beyond the 38th parallel ine telligent military planning even for the small war In Korea becomes as impossible as intelligent foreign policy planning Aware of Situation President Truman ts quite aware of this situation and he has been trying to deal with it by strengthening the national security council for example But such expedients do not go to the root of the matter which lies elsewhere It 'lies in the simple fact that no' effective working partnership between two departments is possible when the chief department lis carrying on constant warfare against the other guerrilla and encouraging his subordinates to do V likewise There are of course straight policy disagreements Defense Secretary Louis Johnson's "economy" line which before Korea made nonsense of all Secretary of State Dean Acheson's anguished appeals for strength and sacrifice has now been abandoned with indecent haste Instead Johnson is now warning members of congress and others that defense spending is due to go up $50000000000 or so in the near future Aside from the fact that this knocks into a cocked hat Truman's stand against all-ocontrols these warnings are also conveyed with the implication that general war soon is inevitable This flies in the face of both White House and state department policy Personal Element There is also a petty but important personal element Johnson has consistently distorted to newspaper men and others the position of Acheson and the state department on a whole series of vital issues Johnson is fond of describing high state department officials as and "pacifists" Inevitably this sort of thing gets back to the state department and it is hardly conducive to the Intimate partnership in defense and foreign policy planning which is now absolutely essential to American security Truman is also quite aware of jonnsons private war on the state department but he apparently takes the tolerant view of an infather toward a wayward dulgent son — "poor old Louis just can't keep his big mouth shut" Yet the fact remains that the present situation simply cannot continue for very much longer And it is a pretty good rule that situations which cannot go on do not go on (Copyright 1950 New York Herald Tribune Inc) el top-lev- el

retirement age Sentiments expressed by speakers were that retirement should be based not upon the calendar but upon ability of elderly workers to perform useful work It was felt that many able persons are being removed from the working force merely because it is customary to use age 65 as the retirement age Workers at that age may be doing more and better work than younger persons 2 Arguments were not based so much on the humane aspects of the situation as upon cold economic realism It was revealed that there are now 11500000 men and women in the United States today who are age 65 or over and that at the present rate of increase in the number of aged the number will be 20000000 in 1975 It would be follyTor the nation to maintain such a large population of taking into account that large numbers of the aging can perform useful work and are eager to continue at work A provision in the new social security act recognizes the need for many elderly persons to continue as wage earners and their desire to do so The new law permits a retired person receiving benefit checks from the old agej and survivors insurance division'to earn up to $50 a month without having his benefit check deducted because he obtained part-tim- e work This is an action reflecting a more enlightened public non-produce- rs i The picayune faith we had before the last two Wars solved no problems then and

illegally with his conduct of the office to which the people had entrusted him t educators known Seven nationally comprising a named by the National Education association to investigate the Utah controversy last week made a written report in which they charge that the finance commission indeed has hampered the education department by using the power of the purse to control policy "It seems clear" the report says "there are limits to the usefulness of fiscal supervision and control Such supervision has overstepped the limits of its usefulness when it Interferes substantially with the freedom of departments to carry out the program imposed upon them by law The report! also takes the legislature to task for giving fiscal control to the financial commission after having made an appropriation to a department The specific point was that the state board of education set up a salary schedule for the state education office personnel The finance commission disapproved of the increases Accordingly the state school office can't staff the office satisfactorily at the existing salary schedule If the legislature doesn't deprive the finance commission of its controversial powers the courts should be asked That is tile recomto put the commission in its place mendation from the educators This recommendation added to the questioning in other state departments Including

mem-oer- s of his staff) By Tom McNamara and j Fred Blomenthal WASHINGTON Aug 22— Though subs have been reported in Panamanian waters since the Korean fighting our vital Panama Canal defenses have been dangerously neglected It is no secret in Panama for example! that we don't have a single fighter plane in the area When an unidentified sub was reported lurking off the Canal Zone recently the navy was caught without even a scout plane and had to appeal to the air force for help All the air force could get into which the air was one lone SB-1- 7 scouted the waters but found nothing Sunday Surprise Plane Our military bases in Panama are also supposed to be on wartime alert Yet one month after the Korean invasion a private plane drifted in for an emergency landing at Howard field a key base now run by the army The pilot Enrique Kochman of Panama City tinkered around with the instrument panel then took off again without anyone so much as noticing him This happened on a Sunday a favorite day for surprise attacks Though Kochman reported what he had done another private pilot Lawrence Breece pulled virtually the same stunt the following Sunday He was forced down on Howard field also without attracting any attention In fact he had to spend 15 minutes hunting a sentry to report his trouble Fortunately for Howard field these were peaceful private planes and not enemy bombers Note — A Pentagon spokesman explained that the Panama canal has had a low priority because the needs have been more urgent elsewhere The joint chiefs of staff believe the greatest danger in Panama is sabotage therefore a large ground force is guarding the canal Meanwhile planes and equipment are being readied for Panama as fast as they can be spared G P O Eavesdrops Just down the street from the

keep government employes on their toer since they never knew when their calls were being recorded However the telephone transcripts sometimes were used to check up or the contractors long-distan- ce

From the French word salon we nave the English word saloon which is identical in meaning with the French salon: "an elaborate drawing room or ballroom" In America in the old days barrooms were known by the title of "saloon bars" saloon having the meaning of "elegant sumptuous" Later the name was shortened to saioon and the word has been in disrepute ever since hence the adoption of the French salon in such phrases as "beauty salon salon music" etc In England saloon In the meaning of "barroom" Is not used "pub" being the popular term But railroad parlor cars are called "saloon carriages" and the type automobile knowin America as the sedan is spoken of as "saloon car" Thus the British use the word in its proper and literal sense But ine Darroom connotation is so firmly fixed in the
