WASHINGTON, Mar. 3—One of the cutest cold wars you ever did see is Funning between the Navy and the Air Force, although it is still illegal for the services, now shotgun- -wedded, to battle with each other, That .non-stop globe circling trip of the Air Force's B-50, which splashed the front pages yesterday, was a real pretty example of how-the competing branches drive each other nuts. Navy had just kicked off a big set of maneu- ; vers in the Caribbean, had dropped a mock atomic bomb, and was smacking its lips over the headlines.’ Mr. Stuart Syinington’ 8 ‘Air Force had regretfully declined an invitation to play war with the senior service, hinting ruefully at budget deficiencies, and more or less implying that war games, at this point, were a slightly shameful extravagance. “Whereupon the “Lucky Lady II" whisks round the world in 94 hours, refueling four times in flight. She drops down onto Ft. Worth to be met by the modern equivalent of a brass band-—Air Secretary Symington, and Gens. Hoyt Vandenberg and Curtis LeMay, with a-pack of photographers, reporters and feature writers, _
Purest Cat-Talk to Navy
THE flight was demurely described as a “training mission,” which Air ‘Chief Vandenberg modestly embroidered as “additional evidence that we have an intercontinental air force.” This is purest cat-talk to the Navy, which is stoutly touting its carriers as necessary to the successful waging of a future war. Unofficially, Navy high shots are blistered over this latest attempt by the Air Force to crab their show. Yet there is no “official” violation of the presidential command for the boys to behave themselves and quit squahbling in the lodge. All Air Force did was show up at somebody else's party in’ a more daring dress, sneering quietly at the outraged hostess. The same, off-stage rassle has veen going right along on &maller, bit no less galling, lines:
There are, for instance, two Navy squadrons working on the Berlin airlift. They flew over from, Guam about four months ago, and almost. imme-| diately: began to set records.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 3—8en. William Maclay of Pennsylvania was unhappy with his evening grog—he thought it was about time something was “done-about-those Southerners: ” The Senator said they: talked so much a guy couldn’t get a bill passed. Said he.didn't blame the voters for getting fed up. wo. That. was.in 1790. It's now 159 years later but the gentlemen from the South haven't changed a bit. They're still talking. Cranky Northerners in the Senate call it filibustering. The Southerners know better; they're just upholding a glorious tradition and can they help it if some bill gets talked to death? They did it in Henry Clay's day and it got Henry so mad he called them alot of dirty names. Ha, ha, laughed the Southerners, just don’t forget; Henry, to tell your landlady you'll be around .all winter, They did it the hard way fn 1880, holding’ out for four days and nights, Now they're at it again and it lopks even more familiar than ever because one of the talkers is

Young Man's Name Is Long
THEY HAVE-—o0nly in an earlier model. The young man's name is Russell Long and he is the son of a man named Huey, who put on the most famous filibuster of all. Huey's filibuster didn’t crack the record. That's still held by the late Bob LaFollette, who once put on a show that lasted 18 hours and 23. minutes. But Huey was a lot more fun #&nd his 151% hours was nothing: to be sneezed at when you remember that Sen. LaFollette had 20 quorum calls that wasted a total of seven and one half hours, while Huey had only two. Hyey was a happy filibusterer—and full of facts. He quoted from the Bible.
