Army-Navy
Merger Set
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 (AP)—
A compromise plan designed to
unify the armed services while re
taining their separate administra
tion and military leadership was
announced1 Thursday night by
President Truman with the bless
ing of both the army and navy.
It would create a separate air
force and place a new secretary
of national defense in over-all
charge of it, the army and navy.
Each of the three services would
have secretaries, too, who may be
cabinet members.
The expected unification would
be achieved by vesting the secre
tary of national defense with au
thority to lay down common poli
cies and programs for the three
arms. But each department would
be administered as a unit.

Governor Dispute
ATLANTA, Jan. 16 (AP)—El
lis Arnall’s contest for the Georgia
governorship Thursday night ap
peared certain of being prolonged
at least until Monday, although
the rival claimant, Herman Tal
madge, held possession of the gu
bernatorial chambers at the capitol
and the executive mansion in fash
ionable Ansley park.
As the dual state administra
tions neared the close of their
second business day, the capitol
was thrown briefly into turmoil
by the explosion of a firecracker
high up in the rotunda above the
spot where Amall established his
temporary "office” this morning.
Apparently tossed from an upper
floor, the firecracker burst with a
terrific report that reverberated
through the dome and sent capi
tol workers scurrying into the cor
ridors. aid i
