When Secretary of State Byrnes
presented the U. S. plan for a 25-
year control of Germany to the
Paris conference of foreign minis

determination to prevent a postwar

calling for complete demobilization
and demilitarization of the reich;
elimination of its munitions indus

inspections to check on observance
of regulations.
In proposing the 25-year treaty,
which could be renewed for an
additional 25 years at the date of its
expiration, the U. S. took the initi

For several years the closest ap
proach to this has been the “smoke-
jumper,’’ or parachuting fireman of
the forest service. Trained at the
regional base at Missoula, Mont.,
this sylvan paratrooper has served
heroically and efficiently, but a
chute does not steer like a helicop

David P. Godwin, assistant chief
of the division of fire control of
the United States forest service,
flew out from Washington for the
tests. He was met by regional offi
cials of the service and by Lt. Col.
Rollo Lawrence, in charge of the
army air force search and rescue
work centered at San Francisco.

of the party said. Like the helicop

principle by the army last October.
March Field’s own search and res
cue unit, to which the helicopter

Maj. Fred W. Milam of Meron, Ind.
Besides the rotary planes, the unit

Morse had identified the bill only
by number, so Magnuson did not
at once recognize it. But, even if
he had, probably he would have
hesitated to pass a controversial bill
without debate.
He was rescued from this dilem
ma by Senator Ernest MacFarland,
Arizona Democrat, who quickly
came to the floor and objected.
Since then, senate mall has been
strong with letters both objecting
to the Morse attempt as trickery
and supporting Morse on the ground
that this strategy was no more un-
fuir than the filibuster.
Regardless of the above mer
its, a bipartisan group of ten
senators has determine^ that
senate rules must be changed.
They seek to lim it debate on

which would bring up the anti-

the house, before the senate re

of bringing up legislation to cre

Believe it or not, but the long-
delayed reports on the Pearl Har
bor investigation at last are being
whipped into shape. They will not
be published until around June, but
here is the inside story on how the

The Democratic majority on the
committee, led by Senator Aiben
Barkley of Kentucky, will absolve
the two top military leaders in
Washington—Gen. George Marshall
and Chief of Naval Operations Adm.
Harold R Stark—of major responsi
bility.
They will receive some
minor rebukes, especially for poor
co-ordination of army and navy in
telligence; but nothing serious.
Democratic members of the
committee also will absolve the
state department of any blame
and will let major blame rest

port contended It belonged—on

PATTON'S DIARY
The war’s stormiest hero, Gen.

secret diary.
