Calls For Council Of 1
Common Defense Headed
By 3 Cabinet Officers
(By Au«ilM Pltttl
Washington, April 22.—A compromise
merger plan has been advanced by Senator Style* Bridges
of New Hampshire. The proposal advocated by Senator
Bridges calls for a Council of Common Defense, with
Ahree cabinet officers representing the Army, the Navy,
and the Air Force.
This contrasts with the

unification plan now under
consideration which calls
for a single department of
defense headed by one cab-
inet officer. The latter plan
is embodied in a bill intro-
duced by Senator Elbert
Thomas of Ut*h. The
Thomas plan is understood
to have the tacit endorse-
ment of President Truman,
Bridge*, however, declares that
the Thomas plan, with its single i
department, headed by one secre-
tary and one chief of staff, sub-
scribe* to what ho call* a militar-
istic doctrine. The New Hamp-
shire Republican argues that it
would place too much power In
the hand* of one man, would un
balance the armed forces, and
would eliminate what he call* the
demonstrated strength of the
combined chief* of staff.
In addition, Bridge* believe*
that the unification plan now be-
