Army Proposes Single Head for New Armed Forces
The War Department urged Congress to place the Army Navy and Air Forces under one civilian Secretary of the Armed Forces. The plan keeps each service autonomous with military chiefs of staff and civilian assistants, and would assign command of air land and sea elements to respective service heads while maintaining unique service forces. Lt Gen J Lawton Collins presented the proposal, stressing no merger but integration with autonomy. The concept includes a center to prevent one branch dominating military thought and requires presidential and armed forces chiefs not to share a single component.

Ohio Wheat Boosts Farm Income Amid Livestock Slump
Ohio farm receipts rose to 406,232,000 in the first seven months of 1945 despite weak profits from beef and pork. Wheat contributed the bulk of gains with 62,508,000 bushels sold at about 1.00 a bushel, while hog production softened due to earlier market glut. Dr. J J Falconer of Ohio State University links higher wheat output and prices to the overall income rise, noting farm numbers fall while acreage rises.
