THE COMBINED CHIEFS ARE STILL THERE

By WILLIAM F. McMENAMIN

The British-American Combined Chiefs of Staff set up during World War II to co-ordinate the armed forces of the two countries are still functioning today in a quiet corner of the Penta- gon Building in Washington, D.C.

Defence Secretary James Forrestal's staff reports they will continue to function "as long as necessary.

The Combined Chiefs were established in February 1942, to co-ordinate "all the factors of military intelligence, transportation, muni- Cons, staff planning, meteorology and communica- tions" of the two nations.

With every element of global combat at their fingertips, the Combined Chiefs were the nerve centre of the Allied war effort.

Section Roped Off

That co-ordination of the war effort has never been dropped. A special section of the Pentagon is roped off against the curious, with wartime secrecy still set aside for the Combined Chiefs.
