WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND:
Services Feud About Feuds
By JACK ANDERSON
(EDITOR'S NOTE: With Drew Pear-
son in the middle west, his column
today is written by his associate, Jack
Anderson.)
WASHINGTON - The Presi-
dent's military reorganization
plan, which is supposed to stop in-
terservice feuding, has started
some dandy new feuds.
Feud No. 1 - The armed serv-
ices are feuding behind the scenes
over the best way to halt their
feuding. The Air Force favors the
President's plan, the Navy is
against it and the Army is split.
Through its civilian arms-the
Navy League and Naval Advisory
Council - the Navy is waging an
undercover campaign against Ike's
proposals. Retired Adm. J. W.
Reeves, Jr., advisory council chair-
man, has called on his members
to bring pressure on congressmen
to defeat the President's reorgan-
ization plan.
REEVES'S confidential letter
warns: "Do not - repeat do not--
speak as a member of the Advisory
Council or Navy League, but as an
individual citizen. This personal
contact is most important at this
time either by telephone, wire or
person-to-person approach."
Feud No. 2 -Georgia's crusty,
crafty congressman Carl Vinson,
who has opened hostile hearings
on the reorganization bill, is feud-
ing with the White House over
who should write the final ver-
sion.
"I appreciate the President's in-
terest," Vinson told White House
aides bluntly, "but Congress is go-
ing to write the reorganization
bill."
The caustic Georgian prepared
a speech last week blasting Ike for
talking about reorganization but
sending Congress no formal rec-
ommendations. The White House
got advance wind of the speech
and, in order to thwart Vinson,
rushed Ike's proposed bill to the
press a couple hours before Vin-
son took the floor.
It remains to be seen whether
the reorganization battle will be a
feud to end all feuds.
Whatever the outcome, how-
ever, it promises to be the great-
est military debate since the Air
Force was split off from the Army
in 1947 and the three sister serv-
ices were sent to live together in
the pentagon in what was sup-
posed to be one big happy family.
Instead, they put on a display
of eye-scratching, back-biting,
and hair-pulling that drove the
first secretary of defense, the late
James Forrestal, literally out of
his mind. Interservice rivalry has
gone so far that the services now
keep secrets, including vital mis-
sile information, from each other.
Thousands of classified papers
are stamped for Army, Navy or
Air Force eyes only.
s * s
AT THE SAME TIME, the de-
fense machinery has become
hopelessly clogged with red tape.
Gen. Maxwell Taylor, the Army
chief, has complaned that 19 ci-
vilian officials stand between him
and the commander-in-chief. All
19 have a say in how the Army
should be run.
Former Secretary of Defense
Charlie Wilson surrounded him-
self with 29 deputy or assistant
secretaries, similar to General
Motors vice-presidents, who had
authority to say "no" but seldom
"yes." In other words, they had a
negative authority which does not
permit them to make high policy
decisions but only to block them.
They are still functioning.
Wilson built up a gigantic, un-
wieldy staff of over 2,400 em-
ployees, divided into empires with-
in empires. These empires are
headed by deputies and assistants
who keep adding more employees
on the theory that the more In-
dians they command the bigger
chief they become.
The result, however, is to im-
pede and obstruct decision-mak-
ing. A new idea must pass through
stifling layers of bureaucracy. By
the time it has run the gauntlet
of assistants, it is weighted down
with so many comments that the
Secretary of Defense has difficul-
ty wading through the accumulat-
ed memos.
Eisenhower and Vinson have
different ideas about how to cor-
rect the abuses. Ike wants to
downgrade the three services and
give the Secretary of Defense
more power. His plan, however,
abolishes the right of military
subordinates to bring their dif-
ferences over defense policies to
Congress. This is a right for which
Congress will battle to the end.
* * *
THE PRESIDENT seriously
considered strippings the three
services of their departmental
standing and making their civil-
ian chiefs Undersecretaries of De-
fense for Army, Navy, and Air.
Secretary of Defense McElroy per-
suaded the President,ihowever,
this would be too drastic.
On the other hand, Vinson
wants to bolster the independence
of the three services by bringing
the secretaries of the Army, Navy,
and Air Force into the powerful,
policy-making National Security
Council.
His plan would also streamline
the Pentagon more drastically
than the President's recommen-
dations by slashing the Secre-
tary's staff from 2,400 to 600 em-
ployees And eliminating 14 Deputy
and Assistant Secretaries. It
would also curb the power of the
Defense Comptroller, whose fiscal
policies have often determined de-
fense decisions.
Meanwhile, the battle lines are
drawn and Washington is settling
down to a good fight.

THE MORE THE YUGOSLAV and Russian
Communists talk about overcoming their
differences the farther apart they seem to get.
Relations got a little better after the death
of Stalin, but have been strained again since
the Hungarian revolt in 1956, when the Red
army was revealed as the suppressor rather
than the supporter of the workers. There was
also a diplomatic incident in which the Soviet
Union ignored Yugoslavia by arresting through
subterfuge a Hungarian leader who had placed
himself under Yugoslav diplomatic protection.
Since then the pendulum has swung back
and forth, with considerable effort on the
Kremlin's part to smooth the waters.
But the Yugoslav's Tito has remained the
outstanding proponent, among Communists,

of national independence within the world
Communist movement.
NOW HIS PARTY platform has taken Yugo-
slaviadeeper into both neutralism and de-
viation.
It holds tht Soviet Union responsible with
the West for the arms race.
It doesn't espouse what history makes clear,
that Western rearmament after World War
II was purely a reaction to Soviet military
threats and expansionist policy, but it goes a
long way for Communists.
That is neutralism and deviation with a
vengeance. Leninism holds that wars made in
behalf of communism are goods wars, and all
other bad wars. That makes it proper for the
Soviet Union but bad for the democracies to
arm. Now Titoism says its bad for everybody.
Titoism also says now that socialization has
been taking place in the midst of capitalism,
which is true, and that evolution may obviate
the need for revolution.
ACCEPTANCE OF THAT theory among all
Communists would rob the Soviet Union of
communism as a weapon for expansion, which
is primarily a traditional Soviet policy rather
than something produced by communism itself.
At the opening of the Yugoslav party con-
gress this week Tito, although firmly warning
Moscow to stop meddling in Yugoslav affairs,
spent a lot of time praising Soviet efforts since
the death of Stalin to ease international ten-
sions.

D IFFERENCES among the three
military services over the best
approach to national security
have seldom been more clearly fo-
cused than by the three top offi-
cers who addressed the American
Newspaper Publishers Assn.
Thursday.
Gen. Curtis LeMay, Air Force
vice-chief of staff, called mutual
deterrence a myth and said the
danger of general war is increas-
ing along with the rise in Russia's
striking potential.
He thinks the Air Force would
have to do 90 per cent of the re-
taliatory work.
* * *
GEN. MAXWELL Taylor, Army
chief of staff, said that under mu-
tual atomic deterrence the danger
three services will be able to pro-
vide the nation with the broad
capabilities it needs.
There is here, however, a dif-
ference of political evaluations as
well as military concepts.
Under the American system,

ROBERT AMORY, the CIA Dep-
uty Director who told a Har-
vard "kaffeeklatsch" in December,
1955, that the government's "chief
problem" was conditioning the
American people to accept Red
China's admission to the UN, was

partments are supposed to lay
down military objectives, and the
military departments are sup-
posed to lay plans, within the lim-
its of congressional appropria-
tions, for attaining them.
Coordination is supposed to be
provided through civilian heads of
the military departments, a part
of the general executive system.
When there are differences in
concept among all three groups
as to the conditions which most
urgently need to be met, the uni-
formed groups are left to compete
for appropriations.
Under its former General Staff
system, Germany made great use
of such war resources as it had
but became anathema to the de-
