STANTON The current squabble between Navy, Army and Air Force "Big Brass" is a sorry spectacle and one indicative of weak administrative leadership. The President is commander-in-chief of our military forces, yet he permits a squabble of the juvenile sandlot variety to be publicly aired. A strong hand in the White House would be shaking up the military personnel until the clashing of medals, gold braid and brass hats could be heard across the country. Nothing has given stronger evidence of weak administrative leadership than the present military wrangle. Unification of the armed forces naturally could be ex pected to cause trouble. The Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force, steeped in tradition, tremendously competitive, ex tremely jealous, could hardly be expected to see eye-to-eye on matters of personnel, appropriations, strategy, planning, etc. It was evident that it would take strong, forceful leader ship to force compromise, eliminate throat-cutting, and develop a semblance of harmony. But that leadership has been lacking and now the matter is completely out of hand. Generals, admirals, cabinet officers and congressmen, squabbling like street urchins, certainly are not helping prestige or morale of our armed forces. We would suggest that if the President is unable to keep order in his own military family, he select a good, tough, Regular Army first sergeant and instruct him to get the military forces' organized. We'll never get anyplace so long as we leave it to the "Big Brass." 4 rmMSWrT-. VCmF CPSaJ 1 WWW! A fit iW't ; Veto Hits Bill Involving Death Of Prohi Agent WASHINGTON. Oct. 15. President Truman hat vetoed a bill which would have directed the Bureau of Emplove'i com pensation to consider the death of William H. Thompson, a pro hibition agent, to have occurred in the line of duty. He gaid in hit veto message to Congress that the agent's mother, Mrs. Sarah E. Thom son, could submit any new evi dence she has to the commission. Thompson was shot in 1927 by a police patrol in Tacoma. Wash. The bureau had rejected Ills mother's death benefit claim on the ground that he was not per forming official duty at the time he was killed. EST Viahnett S. Martin The Ws are keen about horses. So when we stopped at their filling station the other day they asked If we'd like to see "some thing unusual?" Proudly Mrs. W led us to the corral and there Psychology of Fear The late President Roosevelt gave the country the bold doctrine that the only thing to fear was fear itself and then proceeded to scare the people half to death and keep them scared. From a long succession of "crises" we have developed a fear neurosis now manifest in rejection of long-tried meth-1 beside its gray mother stood ods and forms and substitution with alien theories such as controlled shortages, something-for-nothing, benign pater nalism, limited production and others. We have rejected the previously governing laws of supply and demand, full production, pride in craft, personal inde pendence, free enterprise, and open competition. Instead we experiment with limiting the supply in an effort to control prices. We encourage socialized medicine, public housing, free pensions and other socialistic and paternalistic systems. It is our belief that these trends this psychological revo lution In political and economic thinking results from mass fear. Caught in a serious depression, we became easy con verts of a directed campaign of fear, leading to reliance in an all-powerful stale as the bulwark of our security. And because we have been absorbing this propaganda for almost two decades, enough of our people have become so thorough ly imbued with distrust and fear of the principles upon which our government grew and became strong thnt they, like other peoples, lean toward totalitarianism. There was a time in this country when we met adversity with faith in our own abilities and Intelligence; when we worked hard, convinced of the fact that security must be earned not given. But prolonged indoctrination in fear psy chology has so weakened moral fiber that it may be those dayi are gone forever. Well, with an unabridged dic tionary it would be no trouble In the Day's News (Continued from Page One) across party lines. One wants to guarantee farm prices at a perma nently high level. The other The nickname by which Thompson was known was "Kin ky." The presidential veto was the second dose of bad news for his mother, Mrs. Sarah Thompson of Seattle, in as many days. She was laid off from her Boe ing aircraft plant job yesterday. "I don't have any new evi dence," she said upon being ail vised of the veto. "I submitted two affidavits last May from for mer prohibition officers that Kin ky was on duty when he died. I can't give and more. That's all the new evidence there is. But I'll fight until I die to clear my boy's name." Student Suspended For Joining Steret Socltry SALEM, Oct. 15.
