Washington, Oct. 20 Uli- Hen.
Dwlght I. Elsenhower divorced
himself from lioth sides In the
military unification battle today
and warned that the bickering
is giving "aid nnd comfort" to
Russia.
The former army chief of staff
delivered his Impromptu state

between the Pentagon's warring
admirals and generals. ,r

It la time for the quarreling to
stop,
"I believe that from this mo
ment on we can actually make
unification work," he said
"This country unified can whip
(lie world.
Comments On Strikes
In nn apparent reference to the
eonl and sleel strikes now cut
ting deeply Into the national
economy, he told the committee:
"When I see Unit a few men

"I don't want to see the some

Elsenhower made It plain that
by "potential enemy" he meant
Russia, He said the soviet union

As for the present nrmy-navy-

he told the committee that "we're
expecting perfection too quick
ly." He sulci he recommended uni
fication to President Truman af
ter the war ended and still be
lieves it will work If given
enough time.
Elsenhower's statement was In
mnrked contrast to tlie blistering
denunciation of the navy made
yesterday by Gen, Omnr N. Brad

of staff. Bradley's rebuttal was
so strongly worded that It left
the capital wondering when
heads would begin to roll in the
defense department.

Collins acknowledged, however,
thnt lite nrtnv had offered a plan

President Not
To Interfere
In Big Strikes
Washington, Oct. 20 UP Presi,:
dent Truman said today he still
is relying on mediation and bar
gaining outside of the White
House to settle both the soft coal
and steel strikes.
Mr. rruman told a news con
ference that he has no plans at
the present time to intervene in
either dispute.
He said he is in close touch
with settlement efforts in both
disputes and is hopeful mediation
and bargaining would settle the
strikes in the near future.
The soft coal strike is a month
old; the steel strike 20 days. Both
are beginning to cut deeply into
the nation s economy.
Mr. Truman said he has no
plans to seize either the coal
mines or the steel mills.
