Since Army and Navy make a great pother about secrecy in the design and construction of planes, questions had to be asked in Washington. From Major General Henry H. Arnold, chief of the Air Corps, Chief of Staff Malin Craig and others, the Senate Military Affairs Committee learned: 1) Ambassador-to-France William C. Bullitt months ago asked Douglas to show the French the new plane, was turned down because of Army objections; 2) Mr. Bullitt appealed to Franklin Roosevelt, who reversed the Army decision; 3) General Arnold signed the permit for French inspection of the plane on orders from...
More welcome to Chief of Staff Malin Craig than a huge air fleet is the money for other Army material. He estimates that he now needs at least $140,000,000 to equip properly the Regular Army's 174,300 officers & men, and 200,000 National Guardsmen & Reserves who would comprise an Initial Protective Force of 400,000-the Army to bear the first brunt of war while drafted citizens are being trained. The Roosevelt estimates (including the "educational" $32,000,000) would just about fill out General Craig's minimum program...
...General Malin Craig, Chief of Staff of the U. S. Army, up to last week had not been consulted about the big new Rearmament plans. The law makes it his job to formulate military policy for his Commander-in-Chief. For weeks he has peeved in silence, loath to admit in public that he knows little more about the Administration's ideas for remaking the Army than ordinary newspaper readers. Admiral William D.

...Good Neighborly gesture, Dictator Batista was invited by his counterpart in name only, U. S. Chief of Staff Malin Craig, to attend last week's celebration of Armistice Day at Arlington National Cemetery. Boss Batista eagerly left Cuba for the first time in his 37 years, turned up with his buxom lady, several aides and a trunkful of uniforms. His old enemy Sumner Welles, now Under Secretary of State, was the first to pump his hand at Union Station. To make the welcome royal, the U. S. Army band struck up the Cuban national anthem, and with a blare...
Colonel Fulgencio Batista, Chief of Staff of Cuba's Army and the island's proletarian dictator. Officially the guest of Chief of Staff Malin Craig for Armistice Day ceremonies, Dictator Batista, though only informally the head of his State, is to exchange amenities at the White House with President Roosevelt. Likely topics of conversation for Colonel Batista in Washington: Who would make a mutually agreeable next puppet-President of Cuba? What about another U. S. naval base in Cuba, like the one now leased at Guantanamo...
