holding their client's right to sue
the government for damages re
sulting from his war service.
Attorneys John Mahan and C.
Z. Pew brought action against
the government in behalf of Ed
ward C. Commers of Helena as
test case on grounds that in
voluntary induction was "taking
private property for a public
use."

mander of the American Legion.

OF 558,
ASKED
Number Needed for 319 Ac
tive Ships, 3,731 Planes,
36 Bases Thruout World.
Washington. Feb. 14 U.f9
The navy asked congress today
to approve a peacetime trans
ition" force of 558,000 officers
and men pending the outcome of
atomic bomb tests on warships
and of United Nations efforts to
stabilize world conditions.
It told the senate naval af
fairs committee that many men
would be needed for its proposed
fleet of 319 active ships, 3,731
planes and 36 bases scattered
throughout the world.
Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, chief
of naval operations, urged
prompt approval of the program.
He said it was the minimum re
quirement for the nation's need
and was flexible enough to meet
any changes in navy makeup
which may be necessary later.
Reduction Hop
Nimitz also held out the hope
that the nation's military re
quirements could be reduced in
the next few years through
more effective international co
operation and the elimination of
conditions "which breed wars."
Nimitz said the atomic bomb
and other new weapons would
doubtless bring radical changes
in the makeup . and tactics of
the armies, navies and air forces
of the future.
But the fundamental role of
the navy, he added, "will con
tinue to be the defeat of our en
emies at- the greatest possible
distance from our own shores."
