PACE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. ORECON SATURDAY, NOV. If, 1f4f Naval Scene Scribe Says Matthews Hasn't Had Chance to Prove Ability By DOUGLAS LARSEN WASHINGTON, NEA See retary of the Navy Francis P. Mat thews has a little mure than a month to which to bauco down the hatches on hU deck In the Pentagon before the next atorm can hit. There'e not much more that the navy rebels can do until the house armed force committee makea 1U report on the hearings. The com mittee won t meet until aomeunie after the llrst of the year, when congress reconvenes. How long It will take the committee to act after that la anylxxly i guess. Chances are It will act quickly. But the longer It waits the more time Sec retary Matthews will have to scat ter and alienee the rebels. Of coiu-be he and Secretary of Defense Johnson hope that the worst la over and that there's clear sailing ahead. However, neither man la taking any chances. While they have thla breathing spell they're doing all they can to pre pare for what might come. Bight now the committee's staff Is briefing the 3000 pages of testi mony which were read Into the rec ord. That Is being done so that members won't have to wade through the whole transcript, much of which la repetitious criticism of the B-36 bomber. In order to prepare a report or take whatever action they de cide upon. Hangs ha Balance It la agreed that what the com mittee recommends will be a major factor In determining how comfort ably Matthews will serve out the balance of his secretaryship. Mat thews Is committed to carrying out the decision ot the joint chiefs ot staff to reduce the size ot the navy. It the committee disagrees with this basio policy, or recommends that some proposed cuts be restored, the secretary will find himseii trapped between Johnson and the rest of the navy. Johnson has made It clear that he isn't going to back down on the plan to make the navy smaller. It's up to Matthews In the uni fication law to carry this out. But If the admirals and captains know that they have the house armed services committee on their side there will be no holding them back. It'll Just mean more outbursts, suh as the one by Capt John Crom- melin, and more revolting. It'll be a situation no government executive could control. Perhaps with his eye still on the White House, Johnson has very neatly dumped the most unpleasant aspects of the problem In Matthews' lap. It was the President's decision, on Johnson's advice, to remove Ad miral Denfeld as chief of naval operations. Either one of them could hare legally accepted the responsibility for this decision and thereby have lightened Matthews' losd. Instead they ordered him to do It and let him decide how and w hen. Misled However, this particular chore probably didn't bother Matthews too much. Denfeld hsd led him to believe that he aould testify for the cause of unification before the com mittee. Instead he threw his lot with the rebels to the complete em embarrassment ot Matthews. If the committee finds that the Navy rebela were completely In the wrong and supports the decision of the joint chiefs, that the present strategic picture calls for a reduced navy, Matthews has a fighting chance to make good, most experts agree. It will be then perfectly clear to the admirals that they can do nothing but accept a lesser share of the country's military budget. So far the secretary hasn't had a chance to prove his executive ability. First, he started out with the stag gering job of learning what the navy was all about. But before he ever got well Into thla task he was swamped by revolts around him. He hasnt had a chance to come any where near establishing a normal operating procedure. Almost none of the problems which he has found himself involved in were on his creation. Pentagon ob servers agree that he has been the victim of a vicious situation. They even agree that it's difficult to look back and say that he might have changed this or that decision for the better. Even the admirals won't say that former Secretary John L. Sul livan, a stout navy defender, could have done much better than Matthews. Mail Privileges Cut Suggested WASHINGTON. Nov. IS Sen ator Douglas (D-m has suggested that newspapers and magazines get ting second class mail privileges give up their -S4O0.000.000 handout" to help cut down the government deficit. "If the newspapers which carry editorials about the need for balanc ing the budget would come up to the altar and say w e don't want any subsidies for ourselves, and we want to be Christians.' Douglas told re porters yesterday, "it would have a more salutary effect than anything else." In fairness to the newspapers, he added, he wanted to point out that magazines are the chief gainers from the second class mailing rights. It Pays to Use the Want-Ads! SM00TH-RIDING TRACTOR SEAT How to take the Jerki and bumps out of tractor driving has plagued engineers for years. This new tractor seat with a pair of rubber torsional springs mounted underneath was' developed by V. S. Rubber to solve the problem. The springs are the cylindrical objects mounted below the arrow. As" the tractor rides over rough ground, these springs rather than the rider twist and turn with each jolt, cushioning the shock for the operator. 3$ Santa Siiqaesfs a SINGER Vaconoi Cleaner fj exclusive 11. fir.
