WASH I NOTIN Two hi army officers with a long ol public service retire With their retirement a drastic change in tary policy.

these qua lit vi tally important Unfortunately the man v.ho replaces Bradley a. chairman of the joint Adm Arthur Radford, has not always these same qualities Strange Decisim And with the president of the United States having ordered the Joint chiefs of staff, at the recent Quantico conference, to bring him only unanimous de cisions, the personality of the new chairman can infulence the lives of millions. Furthermore, the of President Eisenhower that he wants no disagreement from, his joint chiefs is one of the most important and sobering statements the new pre.si dent has ever made For it is the constitutional duty of the pres ident as commander-in-chief to get all points of view among hi military advisers, to review their agreements and disagreements then make up his own mind However, the new himself a military man, told the I.OK OAII.Y I'KKHH MKMIlKK OK I UK ASSOCIA I I'KKHH Aff irU-'I Frmn If ti!

And while the much-; publicized Field Marshall Montgomery was still sitting at near Normandy coast. Brad- lev was romping up to the Rhine Bradley's only real differences with Eisenhower were: 1 When Ike diverted gasoline and men away from both Patton and Bradley to Mont-I gomery at a time when Bradley and Patton were convinced they cou'd have penetrated Germany and won the war before Christmas. 2 When Ike wanted to run for president in 1948. Bradley, as one of his oldest friends, helped argue him out of it, 1 him polities was no place for a I military man, that he would be a fish out of water. Ike ed in IK Bradley got no chance to talk in Dynamic Radford The man who succeeds Omar Bradley as chairman of the joint chiefs of staff literally talked his way into his job.

When the president-elect was i en route to Korea last ber, his plane stopped for one I hour in Iwo Jima to refuel. During that hour, redheaded Adm. Aitluir Radford took him on a leg-stretching work-out around the island during which he talked brilliantly about using Chiang Kai-Shek's navy against the China about us- i ing troops in Korea. At end of that hour, Tke iLsnid to his j)ilot: "can't we make room for Admiral Radford on the plane?"

Fancy Dan Admirals It was probably the smelliest, most acrimonious interserviee feud in history, and the chief backstage commander of the battle strategy was the man who now becomes chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. Seldom has an officer in uniform challenged civilian authority more brazenly than Admiral Radford in the summer of 1949 He was relegated to the Pacific as a result. He was so brazen in his challenge of civilian authority that mild-mannered Omar who does not have a low boil- ing point, went before Congress and made his famous 'fancy dan state- ment about the most vigor- ous public criticism ever voiced.

Blake was as renowned for his prowess with a bottle among cronies as he was for his sports writing among the reading public. But, to the surprise of friends, the sports editor declined the invitation.

Blake went to an unoccupied room and fell to his knees. Ho stayed there for the rest of the day, praying, and when he arose he believed he would never again have the desire for alcohol. Nor did he. Mr. Blake climbed to new heights gjf writing fame as a sports editor for 18 years and editorial page columnist for 11 years with the Journal.

But he became hotter known as a man who had glimpsed the glory of Clod than as a newspaperman. He labored unceasingly for his Lord and the Agoga Sunday School class which he taught was famous throughout the state. Mr. Blake wrote in his book, A Sports Editor Finds Christ, not true.
