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."

During the 1948 election cam
paign when Roxas defeated Sergio
Osmena (who spent the war years
In America) for the new nation's
presidency, Roxas was called a
collaborator by the opposition
party
His election despite charges of
collaboration was viewed by Fili
pino observers as an indication
that so many Filipinos had "done
business with" the Japanese that
no lasting stigma could be at
tached to the term "collaborator."
