Knotty problem of new defense secretary salutes
The article discusses how many guns to grant the Secretary of Defense after the Army Navy merger. It notes current salute rules: the President and foreign leaders receive 21 guns, a cabinet officer other than Navy Secretary gets 19 one way, and Navy Secretary gets 19 coming and going. It suggests a solution: grant the Navy Secretary the one way 19 gun salute only, letting him do his own shooting, preserving distinction and hierarchy.

Alabama's Trade Cruise Faces Senate Approval
The U S Alabama will make regular calls to Latin and South American ports to showcase Alabama industry and farms. The House Ways and Means Committee now favors a 350000 appropriation paired with a 500000 industry match, with federal aid of 4 million in victory ships. Congress left about 300 bills unsigned, including a 5000 commemorative half dollar for Wisconsin's 100th anniversary, a pocket veto by President Truman. He warned against further special coinage proposals as the nation seeks a breather from such issues.
