This time it is not solely a
case of a conspiracy against
policy. It centers around a dis
pute over the capabilities of
certain weapons and of course,
it touches on the role to be play
ed by various services, also, in
the air.
The Air Force is involved in
the middle, and is in the un
fortunate position of being the
youngest of services getting the
most money and stirring up the
(most envy among top brass in
the other two, older services.

IKE IS FINAL ARBITER
But the case isn’t settled yet.
President Eisenhower is an old
Army man And although most
top Air Force officers are too,
the Chief Executive wants the
Army to have a fair hearing.
And he doesn’t want to have a
big row over defense weapons
in an election year or any other
time, • for that. matter.
| Also entering into the_ happy
picture at this time is a dif
ference of opinion as ‘to the
Navy’s capabilities to maintain
a strategic bombing offensive
with its huge carriers. How
much the Navy can contribute
m such a sustained offensive is
a matter now being thrashed out
between service brass and Con
gressmen, but there is a differ
ence of opinion on this among
Air Force and Navy officers.
