ARMED SERVICES MANPOWER
If reports are accurate, David Sarnoff, chairman
of the board of the Radio Corporation of America, is
soon to begin a sweeping investigation into the armed
services’ use of manpower. The Department of Defense
was charged with this investigation by congressional
order, which directed that the study of manpower uti
lization be made on an impartial basis.
Secretary of Defense Robert A. Lovett, has an
nounced that the President is organizing the high cali
bre fact-finding committee in compliance with the con
gressional order.
Records show that in the last war, the U.S. Army
division required a mass of desk and typewriter per
sonnel behind the lines for every small unit sent into
combat. For every soldier on the front, three or four
others were engaged in some sort of non-combat duty
to sustain them. \
Records show that a Russian division’s mainte
nance is more efficiently handled. The Russian soldier
in the front lines requires no such maze of bureaucratic
red tape and paper work behind the lines as the Ameri
can soldier supposedly requires.
A good hard-boiled businessman’s committee can
perform an outstanding service for the taxpayers and
combat soldiers of this country if they will cut out the
fat which has been allowed to grow in every armed
service. The fat includes impractical administration,
ineffective utilization of manpower, excessive red tape
and outright wastefulness of manpower.
Wealth is really a lot of stuff and nonsense. If
you’ve got the stuff, people don’t mind listening to
your nonsense.—The Chicago Tribune.
If you want to stay young, associte with young
people. If you want to feel your age, try to keep up
with them.
The last war brought a lot of displaced persons;
looks like the next one will bring a lot of dispersoned
places.
If you think you’re going to be happy and pros
perous by sitting back and letting the government
take care of you—take a look at the American Indians!
Truman Happy
Over Ike’s View on
Korean POW Issue
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President
Truman said Thursday he is ve^y
happy over Gen.*Dwight D. Eis
enhower’s views on the Korean
prisoner of war issue, and de
clared “this country is a unified
organization in its policy toward
the rest of the world.”
In his first post-election news
conference—his first in fact since
Sept. 25—Truman laid emphasis
on unity and on the effort to make
the shift of power to President
elect Eisenhower as smooth as
possible.
He began with this statement
which he permitted reporters to
quote directly:
“I want ycru to understand that
the election is over and that we
are trying to get things in shape
to make an orderly turnover of
the government to the successor,
and that we want to let the world
know that this country is a uni
fied organization in its policy to
ward the rest of the world.”
“I was very happy to see that
Gen. Eisenhower had told Sen.
Wiley that he was with [sic] the
policy on the prisoner of war
in Korea. That was one of the
main things about which we
talked in the meeting the other
day when he was dcrwn here.”
Eisenhower and Truman met
at the White House on Tuesdaj'
and later announced jointly that
they had arranged for an ex
change of information. They ex
pressed belief this cooperation
would be to the advantage of the
country and promote a favorable
progress of international affairs.
Yesterday, Eisenhower had a
meeting in New York with Sen.
Wiley of Wisconsin, who will be
come chairman of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee in the
new Republican-controlled Con
gress.
Wiley said Eisenhower “is com
pletely dedicated to the principles
of the U.N. and re-emphasized
his agreement with the principle
of no forcible repatriation of Com
munist prisoners.”
After Truman’s reference to
this, a reporter said the wording
of Wiley’s statement has .been
taken to indicate the general is
agreeing only with the principle
of the United Nations stand on
prisoners of war and does not
necessarily endorse the specific
U.N. position.
Truman replied he was not go
ing into semantics—that is, into
the meaning of words. He said he
was going by the headlines, which
reported without elaboration that
i Eisenhower backed the United
Nations position.
Truman said he would meet
again with Eisenhower before the
general takes over the White
House—if Eisenhower wants an
other meeting.
The retiring President told re
porters he now regards Gov. Adlai
Stevenson, the defeated Demo
cratic candidate for President, as
head of the party.

By Grand Jury for Alleged
Union Bank Irregularities
(Continued from Page One)
the Banking Board except Gover
nor Gruening, who is out of the
Territory.
The bank is third in size among
the four in Anchorage. Territorial
Treasurer Henry Roden estimated
it would rank about 15th in size
in Alaska.
Ten persons, including Mc
Cutcheon, were listed on the in
dictments as having appeared as
witnesses before the grand jury.
Judge Anthony Dimond of U.S.
District Court appointed George
Jones, Anchorage accountant, as
temporary receiver for the bank.
The Board said the temporary
receiver “will promptly investi
gate affairs of the bank and re
port to court.”
McCutcheon later said he was
“much interested to note that
among those appearing before the
grand jury were my long time
political enemies, Mark Jensen
and Neil Moore.
“Jensen appeared here with his
briefcase full of poison and he
! finally succeeded in convincing an
j uninformed group that I am guilty
i of a misdemeanor.
, “After having been investigated
; by the Territorial Senate, a grand

i joint session of the Territorial
j Legislature in 1951, a special com
I mittee of the U.S. Congress and
! finally this grand jury—if all they

j a suspected misdemeanor, then
j heaven help me. I must be the
j oniy man in Alaska that can
| prove his honesty.”
