Action On Merger Measure Expected Shortly By Clark
Pope Field, Fort Bragg, June 28. "I anticipate that before we adjourn Congress will take action on the President's proposal for legislation to unify the nation's armed forces," Congressman J. Bayard Clark, representative of the Seventh district, stated just before he returned to Washington from a brief visit to his home in Fayetteville.
In an effort to establish a definite military policy on the vital issue of establishing a unified force for our national defense, President Truman in a recent letter to Congress reported favorably on the efforts of the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy to reach a compromise on their differences of opinion on the Army-Navy merger.
"They have reached an agreement on eight important elements of unification," the President's letter to Congress stated, "and with reference to the four upon which there was not full agreement their differences are not irreconcilable."
