The Washington Notebook
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —Department of De
fense has finally found out where all its 1,504,000
civilians are employed. Army has 622,000 of them,
Navy 563,000 and Air Force 319,000.
The question first came up about a month ago.
Economy-minded Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia
tries to keep books on the rise and fall — mostly
rise—of government help. He wanted to know
where all these defense people were and what they
do.
Department of Defense officials couldn’t answer
the guestion at the time. But since then a number of
tabulatiorn sheets half as big as a desk top, have
been prepared to show where they work.
With the uniformed Army, Navy, Marine Corps
and Air Force being built up to 3,500 men, it seemed
rather high to have another 1,500,000 civilians to
take care oi them. It averaged out one civilian be
hind the lines for every two and a third people in
uniforim.
And this did not include the 95,000 uniformed
personnel which Texas Senator Lyndon Johnson's
preparedness sub-committe has just reported it
found in the “chair brigade.”
Giving a detailed breakdown on where Army,
Navy and Air Force have their civilian employes
scattered all over the country and the world would
be too statistical and take up too much space. But a
broader classification can be given to show what
the principal job classifications are for these men
behind the men behind the nren behind the guns.
This is the way it shapes up, in round-number com
bined totals for the three services:
Supply svstem, handling military stores .. 324,000
Maintenance and operation of Army camps 250,000
Operation cf air bases, with plane overhaul 247,000
Operation and repair in naval shipyards .. 94,000
In ordnance stations, serving and testing
ammunition and explosives .. .... .... 87,000
Administration of the S6O billion defense
program all over the world ... .... .... 79,000
Technical instructors at service schools .. 60,000
At military and naval hospitals .... .... 55,000
Finance disbursement and military pay.... 28,000
ADD 280 MORE
The above nine categories add up to 1,224,000 civ
ilians emmployed to operate and maintain the military
establishment. But that ain’t all. Still farther be
hind the lines are another 280,000 civilians employ
-24 on production and procurement of military sup
plies. They add up to:
Government arsenals and navy yards
manufacturing weapons .... .... .... 164,000
Research and development on new weapons 77,000
Care of government industrial reserve plants
and tools, and industrial mobilization... 9,500
Defense public works construction . ... .... 4,500
Offices of Defense Secretaries .. .... .... 2,000
Civilian instructors at staff colleges ...... 1,000
Handling National Guard matters . ... .... 22,000
The big drive now before Congress is how to re
duce these numbers. And the Department of De
fense has a battle on its hands trying to justify
them.
The big argument on government employment of
civilians in the military establishment is ‘whether
private business could perform some of these servi
ces on contract at a saving to the taxpayer. Taking
all arms production dut of government arsenals and
navy yards, for instance, would cut down civilian
employment by ten percent.
DEFENSE ARGUES BACK
The armed service heads claim this would be
more costly in the long run. Army and Navy have
built up working forces of special technical skills
over the years. Breaking up these organizations
would mean that all the 164,000 employes would
have to be transferred to private employment, or
new labor forces developed. The government manu
factures none of its own aircraft, however.
The effort to cut down civilian employment in
the military establishment is to be carried forward
on several fronts. President Truman, in a new di
rective letter to all agencies, has instructed them to
save manpower wherever possible.
The Citizens’ Committee for the Hoover Report
on government reorganization has just appointed a
new group to exert pressure on all agencies to mod
ernize their personnel policies.
The armyed services themselves have made some
Atfort to reduce the number of uniformed personnel
on non-combat duty. But whenever they replace a
uniformed man or woman with a civilian, they
merely increase the percentage of civilians,
Our reccgnition of a country is based on fact and
not approval or disapproval of the regime in power.
—Sir Oliver Franks, British Ambassador to U. S.
The greatest political mistake we made in a hun
dred years in the Pacific was in allowing the Com
munists to grow in power in China. I believe we
will pay for it for a century. — General Douglas
MacArthur,

Coach Fare For Airlines Real
. .
Contribution To Travel
Heartening signs have developed recently of a
widening trend toward use of air coach or tourist
reduced-fare service by the commercial airlines,
Amrerican Airlines, which led the way with fast
DC-6 daylight air coach operations last year, has
added another coast-to-coast coach flight by an
alternate route. The original run is reported a sub=
stantial success.
Other domestic lines can offer similar testimony.
Since coach operations became common in late 1949,
the carriers have picked up extra revenue without
apparent harm to their regular full-fare trade.
To illustrate, coach service brought the domestic
companies $43,000,000 in 1950, as against only
$9,600,000 in 1949. But first-class passenger reve
nues didn’t suffer correspondingly. They rose $14,-
550,000 to a total of $347,000,000 in 1950 as com
pared with 1949.
All coach service is under temporary authoriza
tion from the Civil Aeronautics Board, which
viewed it originally as an experement and has not
yet revised its official attitude. The idea was to test
the service to see whether it would tap a wholly
new market, as sonre lines claimed, or whether it
would simply subtract business from the full-fare
service.
None of the lines would contend that air eoach
revenues are all pure gain. But those employing the
service believe most of the return represents new
customers who otherwise wouldn’t travel. They
think air coach is here to stay.
In the overseas field, Pan American World Air
ways has been urging since 1948 that tourist fares
be applied to the rich trans-Atlantic route. Like
the domestic lines, Pan American argued that lower
fares would broaden the base of the air travel mar
ket and more than compensate the overseas carriers
through increased volume.
The Economic Cooperation Adnrinistration sup
ported’ this contention, recommending tourist rates
as a means by which dollar-hungry European coun
tries could earn more dollars.
The CAB, opposed for some time to extension of f
the coach-fare plan to overseas lines, changed its
mind this spring.
Last month at Bermuda, at a meeting of the In
ternational Air Transport Association representing
major international carriers, Pan Am'’s tourist ser
vice plan, urged also by Belgium’s Sabena Airlines,
was at length adopted.
Sonre foreign lines are skeptical of the economics
of lower fares, however, and their opposition was
still felt at Bermuda. To obtain unanimous agree
ment on the cheaper service, it was necessary to
put off its effective date 18 months, beyond the end
of the 1952 summer season.
Nevertheless, the principle has now been ap
.proved and the decision brings within definite
sight fares low enough to attract students, teachers
and other moderate-salaried professional groups,
and a wide range of others who heretofore could
not even contemplate traveling to Europe either by
air or sea. For exampie, round trip tourist fare to
London from New York may be $405, compared
with a present $675 regular fare.
American enterprise always has grown and
thrived on measures whose objective was lowered
prices and broader markets. Though air coach
tourist service makes no pretense at matching reg
ular service, it does represent a sound effort by the
commercial airlines to expand their business vol
ume by tapping untouched markets,
The lines which have pioneered In this effort
merit the nation’s commendation. It is a real con
tribution to a healthy, expanding transportation
economy.
Iran Being Watched
Soviet Russia has already explored Northern
Iran’s oil prospects, drilled and capped the wells,
then camouflaged them by covering well locations
with earth. Confidential reports say the drilling
was done while Russians occupied the area during
the last war. Native Iranian populations were ex
cluded from certain areas while the Russians were
there.
After the Russians pulled out, Iranians started
investigating these areas, and uncovered well loca
tions. Rigs, pumrps and all other machinery had
been removed. But cement caps on some wells in
dicated 20-inch casing had been used to start the
hole, and drilling carried to perhaps 10,000 feet. If
the Russians moved in again, they could open holes,
put pumps on foundations and start producing.
. .
No Economizing
Congressional record on economizing — which
means cutting President Truman’s s7l billion bud- 1
get—still is not making much headway. The Senate
has not yet completed action on any appropriation |
bills for the next fiscal year, which begins July l.'
But the House has passed five money bills. They
cover six agencies — Treasury, Post Office, Labor,l
Interior, Agriculture, Feceral .Security and a hOstl
of independent offices. |
For these agencies, the President asked $13.907l
million. The House approved them for a total of;
$12,918 million. The cut of S9BB million, while im-:
portant money, is only a little over 7 percent. !
If we cannot trust those who are charzed with'
.+ . the defense of this country; then in whonr can |
we p'a~e our trust--save in our Maker?—Senator

Weekly Bible Lesson
Christianity In Daily Life
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
As never before in modern times
we—that is all of us—are think
ing of Christianity in terms of
world-wide ministry and need.
Some, of course, have always so
thought of Christianity and have
emu.laged the example of the early
Christian Church, and have sought
to take literally the commission
of Jesus to go into all the world
and preach the Gospel to every
creature. |
Some have fulfilled that com
mission as missionaries; others
have fuflilled it in ministering to
their support. But these on the
whole have been in minority of
professing Christians. The great
majority have had little world
wide missionary vision, or have
responded rather feebly and casu
ally to the appeals of their var
ious missionary boards. They have
been concerned chiefly about their
own doorsteps.
Now, however, Protestants have
awakened to a consciousness of
world-wide fellowship, mission,
and purpose, such as the Roman
Catholic Church has long mani
fested. This is emphasized in the
World Council of Churches, and
in the World Communion which
is celebrated on a Sunday in
Octoker.
1t is worth-while to point out
that this newly found ecumenicity
—a big word meaning broadly
“all inclusive”—is as yet largely
outward and , organizational
though motivated by an earnest
spirit. It is.based on limitations
and compromise, which in their
very nature are un-ecumenical,
and which some sincere Chris
tians have been unable to accept.
But great progress has been
made since the days of the early
conferences, only a few years ago,
looking toward a world faith and
order, when the delegates were
unwilling, or unable, to share in a
common communion service.
To me that has always seemed
a triumph of churchianity over
Christiznity for if these dele
gates had been Christians first,
and churchmen secondarily. the
most normal, natural, and Chris
tain thiing in the world would
have been to begin with commun
jon in the name and spirit of
Christ.
It is in individual Christian
lives, deeply devoted to the Mas
ter, seeking His nresence and guid
ance in manifesting His spirit in
' daily living, that the quality and
power of the churches and their
world-wide movement ultimately
denend.
This world-wide organization.
consciousness, and purpose has
come at a crucial time when Chris
tianity in many varts of the world
is confronted with powers of de-

struction and persecution, such
as one would never have thought
possible “in the world of today.
Conditions such as early Chris
tians had to meet in the catacombs
of Rome are not unknown in many
parts where the outward worship
and organization of the church
has been suppressed.
Survival depends upon the qual
ity of the faith and life of in
dividual Christians, perhaps as
never before in our time. But
this is true not only of those in
such dire situations. The strength,
power, and survival of Christianity
depends upon the Christian faith
and living of every professed
follower of Jesus.
A Christian life, lived faith
fully from day to day, is the best
contribution that you and I can
make to the world’s organization
and the world’s needs.
