Navy's Quarrel With Other
Services Stems from New Act
By JAMES MARLOW
Washington, Oct. 31 ii The quarrel between the Navy and
the other armed services has its roots in the unification act.
Congress first passed that ret in 1947 and then tightened and
toughened it this year. It has this purpose:
To make the armed services work together better as a team,

Something else was added by
the unification act. That's body
called the joint chiefs of staff
(JCS). It's made up of:
The army chief of staff (Gen
eral J. Lawton Collins); the air
force chief of staff (General
the war department; Navy, chief
of naval operations and secre

both cases the civilian heads
were over the military chiefs.
Further, the two secretaries
operated independently and each

Each has its own top military
man: army chief of staff, air

And each department has its
own civilian secretary. But
power was taken from the sec

whole show. He's a member of
the president's cabinet. He's boss
over the three civilian secre
taries.
And those three civilian sec
retaries cannot carry their com

Johnson approves. And they
can't go to the President over

What final authority do the
members of the JCS have? Sup
pose the army and air force
chiefs think the navy strength
should be cut down, although
the navy chief disagrees. Is that
2 to 1 vote final and is the navy
cut down?
No, says Secretary Johnson.
He told congress the JCS mem
bers have final say-so on noth
ing, that they can only recom
mend what should be done. He
makes the final decision.
The admirals squirmed but
were unable to block decision
after decision to cut down navy
strengtli and ambition.
Before unification, it had been
able, as an independent agency,
to do its own planning, subject
only to decisions by the Presi
dent and congress.
Finally, unable to do anything
under the unification law to get
what they wanted for the navy,
the admirals finally protested by
making their feelings public.

Dallas Woman Nearly Buried

They gave up on a "booster
box" and built it themselves,
complete with false bottom and
hinged flaps.
i "This," explained Mrs. Young,
"is a common tool of the shop
lifting trade. You can scoop a
lot of valuable articles off a
counter into the top. Then you
hide them in the false compart
ment." She also ordered studio da
signers to whip her up a volu
minous black satin dress with
slits around the hips. Then she
produced a huge pair of bloom
ers. "This," said Mrs. Young, "is
the latest wrinkle in the racket."
Seems the female theives are
snatching everything from dia
mond necklaces to high-heeled
shoes and caching the stuff away
in their panties.
"The trick is simple," the lady
dick explained. "They just shove
the merchandise through the slit
and drop it into a corresponding
pocket in their bloomers."
So don't worry if the Misses
King and Freeman look like
they're putting on a little weight
lately. They'll just be practicing
with their bloomers on.
"Housewives are the greatest
amateur shoplifters," Mrs. Young
said. "If their husbands won't
buy them the luxuries they want.
they go out and steal them."
