Reorganization debate swirls over Pentagon shake up
Washington reports three recent talks by President Eisenhower on reorganizing the Defense Department. Congress and military leaders express mixed views on scrapping the Joint Chiefs of Staff and creating a single military chief. Twining defends the system. Gavin and Burke oppose a single commander. Public committees urge changes after Sputniks spurred calls for speed and reform.
