iffected until their return here.
William Semar, general man- j
iger of the Northland Transporta-'

the companies can do. The ships!
are still government owned, and
any alterations must be ordered by
the maritime commission."

Unification Will
Give Sufficient
Armed Strength
WASHINGTON, (Ah—Secretary
! Forrestal told Senators today that
unification of the armed forces in
to a single department would give
this country the force it needs to
back up its foreign policy.
The navy secretary was the ini
tial witness before the Senate
armed service committee in be
half of legislation asked by Presi
dent Truman to bring the army
and navy under one cabinet officer
and raise the air forces to co-equal
status.
“This bill provides an organiza
tion which will allow us to apply
the full punitive power of the
United States against any future
enemy,” Forrestal said. “It pro
vides for the coordination of the
three armed services, but what is
to me even more important than
that, it provides for the integration
of foreign policy with national
policy.”
Forrestal explained that he re
ferred to the bill’s provision for a
national security council to be
composed of the secretary of na
tional defense, the secretary of
state, the chairman of a national
resources board, and the secretar
ies of the land, sea and air forces.
The three latter officials would be
undersecretaries of national de
fense.
The unification proposal is a
long-pending one and the armed
forces committee is not primarily
Durant, Auto
Magnate, Dies
\T.\V YOI?k f/P)—William C.
Durant, 85, shrewd “bull market”
operator who Iwice held and twice
lost control of General Motors,
died yesterday in the quiet Gram
ercy Park apartment where he
spent his last years after a declara
tion of bankruptcy. Only his wife
and a nurse were present when he
died. He had been ill since Octo
ber, 1942.
A super-salesman of ideas, a
daring plunger in investments, Du
rant was also an able judge of the
automotive industry, knowing the
trade from its earliest transition
from wagon manufacturing.
Ill and in reduced circumstances
though far from impoverished,
Durant retained an active interest
in American business. On his 85th
birthday last Dec. 8, he said he
saw a big future for American in
dustry at home and abroad, declar
ing, “quality is more important
today than ever before.”
