Defense Unification, Big Three Talks Dominate Washington
The House Armed Services Committee questioned basing US strategy on atomic bombing and urged a formal judgment by the National Security Council led by President Truman. It faulted interservice friction, endorsed limited Air Force B 36 use, and pressed cross education and joint training while noting no early consensus on strategic bombing. Secretary Acheson signals possible Big Three talks with Bevin and Schuman to tighten Western alliance against Russia, with Britain planning a council meeting of North Atlantic pact nations to review the first year and future plans.
