When the consolidation of the war and navy departments into one agency wj.s before congress, assurance was repeatedly given that no loosening of the civilian reins on the military was in contemplation.

Thus, on May 13, 1946, In reporting the bill providing for the department of defense. Chairman Thomas of the senate committee on military affairs said: The military forces must be managed and directed in such fashion that they strengthen and do not impair the traditional and fundamental principle of civilian control. This primary condition is fulfilled by S. 2044. The head of the unified department must, according to the national tradition, be a civilian and civilian control is clear at all levels."

My physical disability has not prevented my taking a keen interest in national and international affairs; so it was most natural that I should look forward to the time when I could exercise my privilege to vote. Upon telephoning the Illinois election commissioners last spring, I was informed that there is no provision in any Illinois law for those who are physically unable to go to the polls to vote. I was greatly shocked and disappointed, for I thought that there surely would be some absentee arrangement for cases such as mine. I later learned that In Cook county alone there are 16,000 people who are hospitalized and, therefore, unable to vote, to say nothing of mitted 36 floaters to cast ballots on forged applications in the 1948 election.

Various ceived a letter from my son in Korea in which he asks these ques follows: SEN. AUSTIN: I am referring to the policy of the civilian control of the armed forces.

By adopting your plan of having one single department of armed forces substituted for the three, in that general over-all plan, is it not true that we would continue that civilian control over the military capacity of this country which we have always adhered to? GEN. COLLINS: To a much greater extent SEN. AUSTIN: Now can you give us the situation if we should by legislation provide for a United States chiefs of staff? We would still leave the control of the United States chiefs of staffs in the civilian branch of the government thru the congress of the United States, would we not? GEN. COLLINS: That is definitely the case. SEN.

AUSTIN: If your plan were carried out, we would maintain a civilian control of the military capacity of this country and that would be done thru the civilian secretary, undersecretaries, and assistant secretaries. Is that not true? GEN. COLLINS: Yes, sir; that is the case. SEN. AUSTIN: So that the policy would be formulated by the recommendations only of the United States chiefs of staff; but the determination of the policy would be done by civilian control? GEN.

COLLINS: That is correct, sir. SEN. That is. by providing this legislation we would the more sig-' nificantly and the more apparently be showing to our people that we were keeping the military under civilian control: we would make it clear that we have carried out the theory of our government namely: that our military shall always be in the control of the people of this country. GEN.

COLLINS: That is correct. That is the point of view of the war department. Thus, the department of national defense was sold to the people of the United States as a way of strengthening the civilian control of the military. When the defense bill was 'before congress, a number of senators, notably Styles Bridges, repeatedly expressed fear lest the elimination from the cabinet of the civilian heads of the army and navy and their replacement with the secretary of national defense would put dangerous power in the hands of the military if the super-secretary should turn out to be merely a tool ef the armed forces. Accordingly, it was provided that no one could be Secretary of defense who had been a commissioned officer in the military services in the preceding 10 years.

Mundt of South Dakota has proposed a new party to be composed of the majority of the present Republicans and of Democrats of conservative and patriotic inclination.

He thinks the present parties are not homogeneous. He believes that a new party would shake the Truman Republicans into the New Deal. He has proposed that the new party be called the Freedom party. This suggests that the designation Democratic is no longer apropos to Mr. Truman's party, and that it could stand a new name.

FAX Laughing Matter By Salo However, last September when the war in Korea was running strongly against the United States and there was need for finding someone upon whom to shift the blame for the defeat, the President fired Louis Johnson, the secretary of defense, and requested congress to change the law so that Gen. George Marshall could become defense secretary. The pressure upon congress was great.

The long respected precedent that the military hall be immediately responsible to a civilian cabinet head was broken. The army is running the government to an extent never before known. A mer "er of congress who seeks to establish some limitations upon the generals is denounced as an amateur general. When our only living ex-President. Herbert Hoover, appeared to advise the senate on the use of troops abroad, he was depicted in a cartoon of one of the eastern newspapers as our new J.
