Page 2. Register-Guard. Eugene. Ore., Wed.. Jan. 28. 1948 Army, Navy Bickering Hii WASHINGTON (U.P.) Form er Secretary of War Henry L Stimson charged Wednesday that Navy backwardness and jealousy or the Army Jeopardized U. S, victory in the World War II bat tle of the Atlantic. The 80-year-old former cabinet officer asserted in the Ladies' Home Journal that the Navy re jected Army proposals for use of radar-equipped airplanes against submarines at a time when Ger man U-boats were sinking mil lions of tons of allied shipping. Gave Both Credit Stimson gave the Navy full marks for doing its part in win ning the ultimate victories over Germany and Japan. And he agreed that the Army contributed Its bit to inter-service bickering and rivalry. But, conceding per sonal bias, he directed his heaviest verbal blows against the Navy. He particularly criticized: "The peculair psychology of the Navy Department which frequent ly seemed to retire from the realm of logic into a dim religious world in which Neptune was God, Mahan his prophet, and the United States Navy the only true church." Army-Navy Game Stimson's views on the Navy are detailed in excerpts from his forthcoming biography, on Active Service, which the Journal is pub lishing under the title, "Time of Peril." Stimson said inter-service rival ry begins in the academies and reaches a peak each year in the Army-Navy football game. He dis closed tliot during the war he tried vainly to get the annual service game called off In the interests of unity. He expressed the hope that un der the Unification Act of 1947 the services would "learn or be taught, to live together in friendship." In the first 16 months of U. S. participation In the war, the Ger mans sank 7,000,000 tons of Allied shipping "mostly in areas of American responsibility," Stimson said. While this was a blow to naval pride, "It was the Army which more seriously felt tho pinch." Early in the war, he and Gen. George C. Marshall, then Army chief of staff, proposed use of radar-equipped aircraft under a single command against U-boats. But Adm. ErneBt J. King, then chief of naval operations, insisted the escorted convoy was "the only way" to fight the submarine, and In June, 1942, the late Secretary of Navy Frank Knox asserted that "no airplane had ever sunk a sub marine." Knox "corrected" this statement later, "but that he could make It at all was Indicative of the blue-water attitude." v g .'.Tf.&xu- :.i!
