power. Stimson told the House post-
war military policy committee
“The ideals which inspired the
world plan now being framed at
San Francisco must be supported
and made to work by methods of
known efficacy—by the use of force
in the last analysis if necessary to
prevent the depredations of an as-
trees this disordered world,
for decades to come, the success
of a program for peace will de-
pend upon the maintenance of
sufficient strength by those
who are responsible for that
peace. To advocate any Dum-
barton plan and then sheer
ourselves of the power to earry
it out would be even worse
than our refusal to join the
attempt at world organisation
in 1919.” '
Stimson said that compulsory
peacetime training legislation
should be enacted immediately so
as to aid the transition from war
In a nation depends far more on
the attitude of the nation to-
ward the nucleus than any
ether consideration.
“If they are treated is a privileg-
ed and ruling caste as has been the
case in Germany and Japan the
danger may become real: if on the
contrary they live constantly under
the Anglo-Saxon tradition that
military authority is ever subject
to the civil as in the case of Amer-
ica. the danger in my opinion is
wholly imaginary.”

Another reason for immediate ac-
tion by Congress, Stimson said, was
the American tendency to “want to
forget” wars.
“We owe it to the next generation
and those who will follow them that
we shall this time make decision
while the lesson of experience is
still upon us," he declared.
“This is no counsel to act during
a time of war hysteria. It Is only
resolution and common sense for
people to come to their decision
while they are well-informed and
mindful.'
Stating that under the proposed
system the only body of profession-
al soldiers in the nation would be a
comparatively small nucleus In the
shape of a regular army, he declar-

Work Suggestions
Cash awards totalling $85 have
been won by three persons at Abi-

campaign, it was announced today
by Col. Harry Weddington, Station
commandant of Abilene and Aven-
ger Fields.
Recipients of the prizes are:
C. IL Hines, 1433 Beach Street
Abilene, $50 for his suggestion,
“Oil Tank Cleaner.”

Johnnie W. Perkins, 925 Cheat-
net Street, Abilene, $10 for his
device, “Safety Reaction Cable
Assembly.”__
Evaluation of the prises was
made by maintenance officers and
passed upon by the AAP Sugges-
non committee. It was estimated
this the three suggestions will save
a minimum of $2,000 annually here,
in addition to providing a measure
of sofety to the command.

the cost to repair or clean eight
units per month is $24, whereas
previously the cost to the govern-

It was impossible to place a mone-
tary value on Perkins' safety cable
assembly, but the device has very
definite safety advantage. This cable
assembly le used on all P-47 planes
when testing the down lock pin. In
the past, blocks and bases were
used to hold up the strut while
making the test, this process re-
suiting in the loss of a finger to an
enlisted man here. The cable elimi-
nates danger from this source.
