About the Power and Influence of Our General*
As the war progresses, we are compelled to watch
the development and achievements of the generals
and admirals of the allies with an absorbing inter
est. Whether from natural genius or deep objective
purpose, or from the opportunities afforded, we find
the greater numbers of these great leaders in the
American ranks. From MacArthur in the Philip
pines, around the world on every front, back to Ni-
mitz in the far western Pacific, the allied forces are
mainly led by American generals and admirals.
General Marshall, as chief of the army board ; Ad
miral King, as head of the navy, and General Hap
Arnold, chief of the air, have been proven great or
ganizers of our armed forces.
Following them we find Eisenhower, McArthur,
Stillwell, Clark, Hodges, Patton, Patch, Omar Brad
ley, Simpson, Gerow, Wedermyer, and other able
generals of the land forces; Nimitz, Halsey, Mitsch-
er, Spruance and other Americans of the navy, and
Spaatz, Doolittle and Chenault, and other great fly
ers, scores of whom are winning honors on land and
sea and in the air. Many were unknown, and many
untrained, when we were compelled to enter the
war.
This is no attempt to discredit our other allied na
tions. Perhaps we know our own best. Publicity is
what the propogandists feed the public and natural
ly we Americans like to hear all we can about our
own part in the war. Of the fifteen armies on the
western front, ten are ours, and are led by Ameri
cans. In Italy the campaign is led by our man and,
of course, the Pacific war is ours. In none of these
campaigns have our generals failed, but have fought
on to great successes.
Great Britain has her unequalled Montgomery,
and her Mountbatton is leading a great campaign in
Southeast Asia. General Alexander is another great
general and no doubt there are many others of whom
we hear little. France now has a good army and
general on the the Southern Rhine and Canada the
same in Holland with Montgomery.
Looking farther into the future, this long list of
generals, along with many colonels and majors, will
be back home and on the front of our possessions
and will have much influence in the affairs of the
nation. They may have a good deal to say as leaders
of the soldiers who return to civilian life. These
generals appear to be great men—other than in mil
itary affairs—as we judge them from statements is
sued and in their planning for the days following
victory.
They have followed our efforts in support of the
war, and have watched the group actions, and those
of congress at home. They are in the main young
men and we must take them into account in the ef
forts to win and maintain a lasting peace- -and in
the conduct of our national affairs.

One of the pitiful happenings on
the session was the continued
‘Tiding” some senators gave their
president of the senate. Howard
Belton. Belton, who is a fine fel
low and a successful farmer, was
in “hot water" almost from the
first day of the session until its
close. Almost wholly inexperienc
ed in parliamentary procedure.
Belton was at the mercy of the
“senator lawyers," who gave him
a "bad time" on many of his rul
ings when the "hot” bills were be
ing debated. The chief clerk of
the senate, who is supposed to
know how to advise and direct the
president, did a swell job of fur
ther “gumming up the works" be
cause she just didn’t “know her
stuff". All of which added more
grief and trouble on the shoulders
of President Belton. A chief clerk
can make or break an inexperien
ced presiding officer. Over in the
house, the smart and able Eugene
| Marsh turned in a wonderful job
as speaker, and his chief clerk dit-
| to.
One reason why the session
′ | broke all records for length is be
cause not one night session was
held during the entire 69 days
None of the "old-timers around
here can remember of any legisla-
I ture that didn't have several night
sessions, especially during the
closing days. Be that as it may
and all the hollering about a lone
session, experienced lawmakers
don t like the idea of "grinding” at
their desk all day and night too
They would rather work a few i
days longer (for free) than to work
both day and night
Many a |
trick bill has been put over in ■
the dying days of past sessions !
when the “powers that be" would |
grind the boys morning, noon and !
night and the lawmakers would i
become so tired and sleepy they |
didn't know what it was all about
| —except the “smart boys".
There were quite a few “hot"
bills in both hiuses this session, |
but by far the “hottest" was the
firemen's pension bill, which this |
colun n predicted three weeks ago
would be defeated in the senate,
and it was less than an hour before
the lawmakers closed up shop
The politically smart Tom Maho
ney tried every parliamentary
trick in the book several times to
I get the bill out on the floor for a
final vote, but was blocked each
time, and once by only one vote
The governor’s “mansion" bill met
the same fate on the same day af
ter being railroaded through the
house just the day before By far
the strongest lobby seen around
the state house in years were there
