BRAIN TRUST
TDSTUDYWAR
NOTES IN U. S.
By PETER EDSOH
WASHINGTON, S e p t . 8
Organization of what will prob
ably become known as a "brain
trust' for war" is now underway
in Washington under the direc
tion of Col. William J. Donovan
of New York, better known as
"Wild Bill of the Fighttn' 69th,"
but whose' official title lor the
past few weeks has been co
ordinator of information. ,
There was considerable ar
tificial mystery built up when
Colonel Donovan first was ap
pointed by the president, but it
was largely the creation 01 gos
sips who wanted to make more
of the Job than It really was.
Consequently, the colonel has
been trying to live down rumors
that he was to be the Heinricb.
Himmler of an American ges-
tapo, the Goebbels of a U. S.
propaganda agency, a chief cen
sor, a 1 super-spy boss of the
G-men and army and naval in
telligence units, or even heed of
grand strategy board which
would outrank the army and
navy general staff and tell every
body where to head in.
Any and all such rumors can
be definitely labeled as the
bunk. What the colonel will do
is just what the title of his job
Implies he , will coordinate
Information. '.:,
MILLIONS OF WORDS '
That, however, isn't as simple
as it might sound. Pouring into
Washington every day are some
two to 10 million words of re
ports from all kinds of places
and people. J. Edgar Hoover's
FBI has its dope. Army . and
navy intelligence ' get reports
from their foreign observers.
State department gets diplomatic
pouches. Consular agents report
to the department of commerce.
Secret service, customs, and
coast guard report to treasury
Immigration service reports to
labor. The transcript of the fed
eral communications commis
sion's ' radio-listening-in 'service
of -foreign broadcast runs to
nearly a million words a day.
Heretofore, the meat of all this
has been poured directly on the
president's desk. To say that it
was confusing is too' mild. Its
conflicts, incompleteness, - frag
mentary suggestiveness and lack
of evaluation have been enough
to - drive anyone nuts. That's
, where the coordinator's job will
come in' trying to make order
out of all the chaos. '
-, Doing a job of brain trusting
on the war will be Donovan's
division of analysis. It will be
headed by James, Phinney Bax
ter, - HI, president of . Williams
college. Baxter, in addition to
being an able administrator, is
a historian. He has been a mem
ber of the Naval War college
staff for some years, and is the
author of "The Introduction- of
the Ironclad Warship."
SCHOLARS GALORE -
As chief, assistant to Presi
dent Baxter will be Dr. Edward
Meade Earle of Princeton's in
stitute for advanced study, auth
or of an Outline of Modern
' History," and a member. of the
War college.-How large a staff
Baxter and Earle will have to
assemble for their task is some
thing they themselves don't yet
know, but-in . their work they
will have specialized sections of
historians, geographers, econo
mists and miscellaneous profes
sors recruited from the ablest
scholars in the country. .Their
experting will be supplemented
by staff and field officers from
various government departments
whose information they will co
ordinate. Backing all- up - will
be a library of congress research
staff under Prof. William Leon
ard Langer of Harvard. Langer
was a sergeant in the first gas
regiment of the AEF." and saw
action in the Argonne and at
St. Mihiel. .-..-'
' Granting that the now-tamed
Colonel Donovan's Fighting 69th
protessors, or how many of them
there may be, can coordinate
all this information, it . is not
the idea to boil , it down to a
daily bulletin and then drop it
on me president's desk. While
the Donovan office will have no
authority over the departments
whose information it , coordin
ates, it will be a Donovan func
tion to "hunch" the various de
partments on courses of strategic
action they might follow, and
follow fast. For instance, if the
foreign broadcast monitoring
service picks up advance infor
mation of a new Japanese move
to the south, as it did a month
before the invasion of Indo
. China, that is something the
state , .and navy departments
want to know about. .
