Army Proposes a Single civilian Head for Armed Forces
War Department urged Congress to place the Army Navy and Air Forces under a single civilian Secretary of the Armed Forces with military chiefs of staff advising. The plan would keep air and sea components with autonomy while rotating leadership to prevent dominance by any one branch. Lt Gen J Lawton Collins testified that fusion means integration not merger, and envisages new assistant secretary positions and a rotation system. The proposal includes a president’s chief of staff and a joint armed services chief not from the same component.

Ohio Farm Income Hiked by Wheat Despite Losses in Profits on Stock
Ohio farm receipts rose to 406.232 million dollars in the first seven months of 1945 from 403.209 million the year before. Crop income climbed while livestock receipts fell, hog production shrinking after hog market gluts. Wheat’s 1945 bumper crop and higher prices drove most of the gain, even as farm numbers and sizes shifted toward larger, mechanized operations.
