U.S. WARNED OF TREND TO MILITARY CONTROL
WASHINGTON. Feb. 13. Professor Albert Einstein and 17 other prominent citizens asserted today that “the marked trend toward military control over American life’’ has grown more dangerous than ever in the past year, in a report published by the National Council Against Conscription. They accused the Army of spending nearly 4,000,000 dollars during 1948 on porpaganda to undermine the American tradition of civilian control. The report said Americans must become aware of the degree to which foreign policy, science, education, labour, ' industry, public opinion, and civilian activities in general are controlled or influenced by the military. The signatories of the report included Mr. Ray Wilber. Chancellor of Stanford University, and the authors, Pearl Buck and Louis Bromfield.
