Washington.—One of history’s big history writ-
ing Jobs, a Chronicle of the Army’s part in World
War H, will be ready in about five years.
be rewritten, already have been published. The
latest covers the first seven days of fighting for
the Omaha beachhead in the Normandy landing.
At work on the final hiatory are possibly 600
officers, enlisted men and civilian historians, cull-
ing reports, Interviews, photographs and drawings
which in many instances originated under enfcmy
fire.
The result is expected to be a monumental nar-
rative of probably 120 volumes, the most compre-
hensive chronicle of any war and the first for any
conflict in which American troops have been en-
gaged.
If five yeniH seems long, note that the official
history of World War I is not ready even yet. It
is a compilation of battle orders and other signif-
icant documents, rather than a narrative; and is
now expected to be completed in a year or so and
to require some 28 volumes altogether.
The 128-voiume collection of records of the
Civil War did not appear until 1902.
With plans made in advance for the first time,
the Army set out from the start to make a com-
plete record of World War II, placing historians
in each war theater headquarters and with each
field army, air force and technical service. In the
later stages teams of historians went into action
with combat troops.
Gen. George C. Marshall, then chief of staff,
directed the prompt writing of preliminary ac-
counts of individual campaigns, for the special
beheftt of wounded men. These have been found
valuable, officials said, in preparing the final work.
Others of the preliminary chronicles were ac-
counts of the first phase of the North Africa cam-
paign, the Papuan operation in the Pacific, three
monographs on the fighting In Italy and the story
of Merrill’s Marauders in Burma.
All but the first two were initially prepared in
the field. Photographs were supplied by signal
corps combat cameramen and civilian news photo-
graphers, a number of whom met death- in mak-
ing daring shots.
In accordance with Army policy, the authors
cf the official histories are anonymous, but some
top-flight professional historians have had a hand
thus far in collection and classifying of informa-
tion and writing of uctual narratives.
ment when the war ended indicates how radically different an
the problems of national defense. ......
Air transport is just beginning. The possibility that all ground
form will in time have to become airborne Is very real.
The use of guided missiles—drone planes and bombs operated by
remote control through radio and television—is also just beginning!
The use of rockets is just beginning. ... /I
The airplane itself may stilt be in the toy stage of development*
What the atomic bomb will do to naval vessels may be demonstrated
n tests at Bikini atoll this year That warships, as presently con-
nived, may have to be scrapped is no remote pipe-dream.
IN view of such prospects as these, it is impossible to see how any-
* one can resist the logic of a complete reorganization of national
defense. It needs reorganization from the highest to the lowest
echelons. _ _ ,
Gripes against Army and Navy caste systems and courts-martial
and uniform regulations are fundamental.
The service educational system needs modernizing. West Point
and Annapolis and the Air University at Maxwell Field may be all
right as graduate schools for the training of specialists. But courses
at these three academies might be preceded by a Joint-service prepara-
tory school.
But perhaps the most important recommendation of all those made
by Sen. Elbert D. Thomas’ Military Affairs subcommittee is the pro-
posal of increased and co-ordinated research under a new Assistant
Secretary of Defense Some of the fanciest braid to be worn in any
future military organization should be hung on the scientists uitd in-
ventors who perfect the new weapons of common defense. _

Yet the new housing legislation, when
. into practice, promises to limit most
atruction to cheap dwellings at inflated
ces. And by, in effect, restricting most
the veterans whom it is trying to help
these dwellings, it is restricting them to
st may be slum sections in a matter of
The housing program also limits non-
erans pretty largely to their present
ces of residence. Many of these non-
erans would like to build better houses
n are contemplated under the program,
i are in a position to do so.
The normal urge to move or build has
» drastically inhibited during the last
r years. Meanwhile, many families
-e grown and are straining the seams of
ir present quarters. ■!#-.’ -
At the same time, the apartment or
ise where they now live would be quite
squate for a veteran with a wife and
i child—or none, For about the same
ney that the vet would pay for a new-
built place, he would probably get a
ch better value, under existing rent ceii-
So why would it not be better and fair-
for all concerned to permit a reasonable
ount of house construction above the
000, or even the $10,000, limit, and per-
: veterans and non-veterans to build or
tion here from the national pol-
iticos—hut for different reasons.
Probably the most powerful
groups sitting in on FPC hear-
ings on Texas gas pipe line hear-
ings are the roal mine operators
and miners themselves. They fear
large scale movement of national
gas to the East through use of
the Big Inch line as has been pro-
posed, and through enlargement
of Tennessee Gas and Transmis-
sion Company’s Texas-West Vir-.
ginia line as is now being sought
before the l’FC. It would dls.
place tens of thousands of min-
ers, not to mention railroad
workers who haul coal, they ar-
gue.
Another big pipe line applica-
tion currently under considera-
tion before the FPC is that of the
Reynosa Pine Line Co. of Corpus
Christi, which seeks to deliver
gas from the Rio Grande Valley
to Monterrey — a Mexican con-
cern would pipe it south from the
border. Chairman Olin Culber-
son and Boauford Jester went on
record before the- commission
against the application, but the
third member of the Texas Rail-
road Commission, Ernest O.
Thompson, didn’t agree with
t%m.

me it appears basic and simple
that the public interest would be
dented if this application were
not granted.”

Depend on Senator Tom Con-
nally for quirk wit under any
circumstances.
The other dny lason Blunt, the
French statesman, came to the
Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee to discuss the economic
situation of hia country. Before
the conference began photogra-:
idlers asked the two to pose to- j
gether, so, in a jovial mood, they
struck up a friendly attitude
while interpreters and others
moved to one side.
“They want us to talk, so the *
picture will look natural,” Con
nally told Blum, with a sweeping
gesture. “You’re a good talker,
so talk.”
Blum, an old hand at press re-
lations, needed no translation to
comprehend the situation. He
turned to Connally hopefully and
rolled off a flurry of French. As
the flash bulbs popped, the Tex
an wrapped his long arms around
the aging Ilium and said: “Well
at least these pictures will look
the same in French as they do in
English."

The loyalty of the convinced

trated during the St. Patrick’*
Day parade. . . . One typical son

Card, a regular customer of the
fashionable restaurant on 44th
street across from Shubert Alley.

however, when Card brought in

Washington — With a record-
setting turnover of at least four
among their 21 members in pros-
pect for next year—-not counting
any possible involuntary retire-
ments dictated at the poll*—Tex-
as House members are almost
talking to themselves these days.
They grin and greet each other
in the corridors and lobbies with
such quips as; “Good morning,
colleague—or are you’”; or “oh,
I say, have you heard the-latest
—I’m running for re-election,
but don’t let it get out.”
Incidentally, they all noted
with envy that Rep. Luther A.
Johnson’s new federal judgeship
appointment of 12 years duration
saves him six election campaigns.
There are reports around Cap-
itol Hill that Ft. Worth’s veteran
Congressman Fritz G. Lanham,
who recently announced hia re-
tirement, had been offered a lu-
crative position with a private
concern in the building trade.
The Lanham housing act made
