1EWSP4PERS Patterson rOSi In War Dep'f Expect Entire New Command Of Armed Forces WASHINGTON, July The departure of Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson from the cabinet was regarded today as another step in the unification reshuffle that is expected to provide the nation's armed forces with an entirely new high command by Jan. 1. Patterson's resignation becomes effective Thursday, and Undersecretary of War Kenneth Royall was appointed yesterday to "succeed him. There was speculation that Royall, a 53-year-old North Carolina lawyer, would remain as army secretary under the unification plan.

The new setup calls for a single secretary of national security with cabinet rank, and three secretaries for army, navy and air who will not be cabinet members. The merger plan has been passed by the Senate, and comes up in the House today. Passage at this session of. Congress is considered certain. Forrestal in Line Informed sources insist that Secretary of Navy James Forrestal is in line to bc the first secretary of national sccuiity.

Forrestal himself denies knowledge of such plans. Undersecretary of Navy John L. Sullivan is expected to step into Forrestal's job when the new arrangement goes into effect. W. Stuart Symington, now assistant Secretary of War for Air, is slated for the new post of secretary for air.

Thc postwar juggling of administrators was not confined to civilians. Gun. D. Eisenhower, Army Chief of Staff, already has accepted "the Presidency-of-Columbia University 'and will leave the service about the first of the year. The White House has not named a successor, but it was announced yesterday that Gen.

Omar N. Bradley, now Veterans Administrator, would make a six-week tour of Europe soon to review troops at the request of the army. This was regarded as tantamount to an advance announcement of Bradley's appointment to succeed Eisenhower as Chief ot Staff. Spaatz to Resign. Adm.

Chester W. Nimitz completes his term as Chief of Naval Operations about Jan. 1. Navy sources say he will be succeeded by either Adm. W.

Gen. Carl Spaatz, AAF Commander, is reported ready to resign about Jan. 1. Lt. Gen.

Hoyt S. Vandenberg, his chief of staff, reportedly will succeed to the top air force job. Successful Fair Indicated as Entries Arrive Indications of a successful Saline county fair next week are still mounting. The fairgrounds had the appearance of a well-organized mad house today, with livestock, especially horses, arriving by the hour. Entries began arriving yesterday and the two new stables and all available tents wJl be filled to overflowing.

Many of the entries came today after completing the Golconda fair yesterday, but a lot of them are from other areas, some of them attracted to the Saline county fair from other fairs. Monday will be the traditional "free ciay" at tne lair. Tuesday a general admission will be charged except children will be admitted free until 5 p. m. and until that hour they will be given special rate on carnival rides and amusements.

French Opposition to Revived German Industry Is Blow to Marshall Plan WASHINGTON, July France has delivered an alarming blow to Anglo-American plans for increasing German industrial production which threatens the present American concept of the "Marshall plan," it was learned today. Both Britain and France have thrown monkey-wrenches into the U.

S. plan to proceed rapidly with the revival of German industry-under allied controls--so that German production in the western zones can be used in the European economic recovery program. The French difficulties became known after French Ambassador Henri Bonnet delivered an hour- long "demarche" to Undersecretary of State Robert A. Lovett. Stripped of diplomatic verbiage, the French position is that she cannot go along with a "Marshall plan" which envisages a vastly increased German production without satisfying France's security needs against a strong Germany.

Bonnet put it very bluntly--for a diplomat--in talking with report- ers: "If France is faced with cisions which she cannot approve, the Paris negotiations on the Marshall plan will be greatly endangered." The decisions he was referring to were those by the United States and Britain to go ahead in their merged zones of Germany to double the present allowable level of industry. Britain still is hesitant about the American proposal to do something now about increasing German coal production. Having lost out in her effort to get the U. S. to expand the coal conference to consider British plans for the U.

S. assuming more of the occupation costs of the Anglo-American combined zone, Britain now wants the conference held in Berlin. But American coal experts are waiting in Washington for the British and they refuse to change the site of the talks. No reply has been received from the British to the last American note. Record School Budget Studied; Teachers' Salaries Still Low Girl, 15, Missing After Arrival For Visit in So.

Illinois EFFINGHAM, 111., July --State police and county officials started a search late yesterday for a 15-year-old high scnool girl missing since Thursday morning, when she arrived here for a visit with her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Beal of Gilmore. Beal said the girl, Frances Holt, called him from an Effingham hotel on her arrival from her home in Georgia. When he came to take her to the Beal--home, the girl disappeared" Ir.

trace of her had been found today. Home Construction Active Here as Materials Increase Availability in i a i amounts of building material scarce during and following the war, is bound to bring about a great deal of building activity in Harrisburg. Particularly hard to get until recently have been doors and windows, and high grade flooring. The latter is not plentiful, but will be available by the time building sites and plans are a a enough to call on its more extensile use. according to Ray Durham of the Harrisburg Lumber yard.

One cannot walk into a lumber yard and buy a finished door or window, because they are not being turned out fn stock like that. But they are being built to order and on fairly short notice, Mr. Durham said. Patent windows rearc available in complete sets and all kinds of aluminum sash material is available. Some of the new materials being received are being used in the construction of four excellent homes under construction in and near Harrisburg at present.

One of these is the new cottage being built on South Granger street by Glynn McCormick. Another is the new home being built for Edwin R. Evans, on Route 34 near Rudement. More pretentious and in a higher priced bracket are the ranch type houses being built for C. W.

Adams east of Harnsburg. and Cecil Sullivan north of Harrisburg. Another ranch type house newly completed and occupied is that owned by Julius Cooley also on South Granger street. There is also a potential demand for other better type homes as soon as more supplies are available, Mr. Durham said.

Toft Urges Passage of Bill to Cash Terminal Bonds WASHINGTON, July 19--OIE)-The Senate passed by voice vote and sent to the House today a bill to increase subsistence allowances of war veterans attending schools and colleges under the G. I. Bill of Rights. As soon as the subsistence bill was passed, the Senate turned to a House-approved measure which would allow veterans who were enlisted men to cash their terminal leave bonds immediately.

The bill for veterans in schools would cost about $217,000.000 a year. It would increase the subsistence allowance for single veterans from $65 to $75 a month, for married veterans from $90 to $105 and for married veterans with children from $90 to $120. Sens. Robert A. Taft, 0.

and Wayne L. Morse, had urged approval of the bill in the 60 minutes of debate preceding the vote. Taft also endorsed the measure to allow cashing of terminal leave bonds and said it offered a wav of reducing the national debt without risking serious deflation. Would Reduce Debt Taft said failure to enact the Republican tax bill left the Treasury with more than $6.000.000.000 to apply on the national debt. The G.

I. bonds, he said, are part of that debt. Under present law, the bonds cannot be cashed until five years after they were issued. This would be 1951 or 1952 payment of these bonds will reduce the debt just as much as" the payment of any other Senate Backs j- Truman oh RUN OVER BY TRAIN--LIVES.

Second Veto Rep.

Martin Raps President's Action 'as Political WASHINGTON, July (U.R)-- President Truman's two vetoes of the Republican bill to cut personal income taxes shaped up today as a major issue in next year's presidential election campaign. Republicans reluctantly put the bill back on the shelf after the Senate sustained Mr. Truman's second veto yesterday. But they promised to bring it out again -possibly at the next session of Congress and certainly in the election campaign. Chairman Eugene D.

Millikin, of the Senate Finance committee said he was "very happy" over the GOP record of twice getting the tax reduction bill thru Congress, even though it was kayoed by a presidential veto. President Praised, Blasted House Speaker Joseph W. Martin, termed President Truman's action a "political veto" that would, make the American people "realize that while the spending policies of the present administration continue there will be no chance for relief from the strangling war taxes." Senate Democratic Leader Alben W. Barkley and Senate Democratic Whip Scott W. Lucas lauded the President for his "political courage." They said they believed a majority of voters would agree with him that the Republican bill represented the "wrong kind of tax reduction at the wrong time." The Senate backed up Mr.

Tru- man on his second veto, whereas the House had sustained the first last month without the Senate's raving ly act upon it. The bill was the same in each case except that the effective date was changed from July 1, 1947, to" Jan. 1, second -swing; gress. Senate Vote 57-36 President Truman sent his second tax-cut veto to Capitol Hill shortly after noon yesterday. And six hours later, it was "all over.

The House voted 299 to 108 to override-- 27 more than the necessary two-thirds majority. But the veto was sustained when the Senate vote fell five short of the necessary two-thirds majority to override. The vote 57.to 36.
