Gen. Eisenhower Favors Merger Of Armed Forces WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (P) General Elsenhower said today that unless tho armed services are placed under a unified com mand "we may enter another emergency, in a time to come, as we did at Pearl Harbor." The European theater com mander told tho senate military committee in prepared testimony that "this nation must preserve a balanced, adequate measure of our land, sea and air power lest we lose the peace we have so dearly bought." In World War II, he said, the United States had to achieve the change from Joint to unified command "the hard way." He added: "I know that our efforts would have met with failure without unity of direction. No system of joint command could possibly have brought victory to our cause." Shortly before Eisenhower testified, Senator Hill (D-Ala.) said Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Pacific navy commander who flew to Washington for a naval conference, would appear before the committee Saturday. Nlmlts Oppostd Nimitz is against any merger of the armed forces. Eisenhower said unity of land, sea and air forces under his com mand "was not easily achieved." He added that he thought the "difficulties grew directly from the traditional separation of the army and navy which is the in evitable outcome of the present organization of our military de partments. "Separation at the top neces sarily fosters separation all along the line." Replying to what he said were criticisms of the unification pro posal Eisenhower went on: "I am told that the task of the civilian secretary, who would m. ..... .... r I - . ' " , A 0 .

If this were true, then It follows that no man has the capacity to assume the presi dency of the United States." "Fears Groundless" As to statements that creation of a single department would subordinate one service to an other, he commented that the result in Africa and Europe "proved such fears to be ground less." To arguments that Germany had a single military department and yet lost the war, Eisenhower replied: "The facts are that Germany never had such a single depart. ment or even unity of direction except in the fuehrer nimseu. "On the contrary, the Luft waffe was commanded by Reichsmarshal Goering, who was second only to Hitler, and the successive chiefs of the Ger man general staff were never able to achieve anything ap proaching unity of direction of Reprinted Courtesy MianapoHi Moral Df Tribus It's What You Ordered Victories over Germany and Japan have been accomplished but that' not all of the storyl The U. S. Treasury Department must look to the American people before the end of 1945 for further financial support through generous participation in the Victory Loan Drive. Billions of dollars are needed for: Army and Navy Costs A substantial Army and Navy must be maintained until world order is restored. It means occupation forces, their equipment, supplies, pay all adding up to a lot of money. Car of the Wounded We cannot pay our debt to them, but we can do our best Thousands of American boys now need and will continue to require medical care; and, additional thousands whose permanent disabilities from battle are our responsibilities. Bringing Our Boys Home Millions of homes are waiting for millions of our service men and women who have been away too long. They must be returned, with every attention to their travel needs. Mustering Out Pay Returning service men must have a stake for the resumption of civilian life. The law provides up to $300 per man. If the reduction in armed forces goes as scheduled, this item alone will add up to something like 2 billion dollars in the next year. Victory over America's enemies is what you all of us ordered.
