home on leave after two years of fight
in@ with the British Sth Army Before
his division sailed back To England
after the great desert campaign and
the invasion of Italy. the colonel-the
only officer who'd seen the whole thing
and was still alive and fighting-called
all the troops together and made II
speech, his first and maybe his last
because he was Il fighter and not Il
talker.
The men stood at attention-tough.
tired and bleary eyed from too much
fighting and too much blood. What
they wore wouidn't be pictured in any
military handbook. They We're filthy
and ragged and raw from the sun.
Desert rats they were called. Many
hadn't been home for four years
Sorry to take up your time" the
colonel barked, i'll at ease but as you
know, we are about to go on Il long
trip. There have been rumOrS that We
are going home to England. As a
matter of fact, we are going home"
He cleared his throat. Many of you
have not been home for Il long time.
You will find many things have
changed in England. | want to tell you
about some of these changes. because
we must all of us know how to meet
them"
He paused Solemnly. First" he
said, ''there'S Il salvage. Out here per-
hapS we haven't always been too care
ful about salvage, but they are very
concerned about it at home. And we
must do our part.
"Finally,' he said looking down at
his boots, I'VE will meet many men
who have not been at the front yet.
They will be very eager to know what
it is like. Now we all know that war
can be eXciting-in fact very exciting.
And we know that at times it can be
rather bad e. q. But we won't tell them
about that, will we?'
The colonel was finished He dis
missed the men. And the British Sth
Army, heroes of El Alamein, returned
to the homefront-tO salvage and vic.

Washington UP) Without queS-
ton of doubt, Gen. Douglas Macarthur
is an able and courage military
leader. He has done much for his
country as ii soldier. His record as II
commander cannot be attacked.
Eut great soldier is not necessarily
sterling statesman. Especially when
he hasn't been in the L. s. for more
than six years.
Although Macarthur may know
jungle techniques and how to meet the
tricks Of the willy Japanese. he's ap-
parently intellectually muScle-bound
in the political field Or so it appears
here April II.
II seems to this corner that our
Pacific commander has put his large
foot in his mouth with his unfortunate
letters to the freshman congressman,
Rep. Arthur l.. Miller OR, Neb.).
Macarthur wrote Miller last Oct.
and again this Feb. II in a sort of
baclhand Endorsement of Miller'>
ScOrching denlnciatOn of President
Roosevelt and all his works. Miller re-
leased the letters April 13, together
with his own in which he Slurred
MacArthur's commander = in chief by
referring to this monarchy which is
being established in America" and
what. happened?
General Macarthur acknowledged
Miller's ''Schoarly letter" and said
I'VE must not inadvertently slip into
the same condition internally as the
one which we fight externally"
The glee with which Col. Robert
Hearst press and the whole cabal of
America FirSterS and SO-called ma
tionalists seized upon the generals
letter ought to tell the tale =. to help
Americans separate the sheep from the
goats politically.
If that isn't enough. the editorials
in the sound but traditionally Repub-
lican press should finish the job.
Take the ScrippS-lIoward papers
Their editorials April II said: Gen.
Macarthur is the victim of careless
letter writing and of Il friend who
the generals answers to fan mail, if
the letters are genuine.
The Associated Press distributed
wirephotos of the letters with Mas
Arthur'S signature. which seems TO
dispose of the question of their being
genuine. Eut the Scripps- Howard
papers said IF these are MacArthur's
letters, we regret they were written,
even in confidence . But no political
indiscretion should detract from the
Macarthur military record"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. CUP)-
Senator A. b. Chandler, Cd. Ken
lucky, has released the purported
text of cable from a British Off
cial in India declaring former AM
bassador William Phillips persona
non grata" and stating that I'VE
could not again receive him" should
he be sent back to India.
Chandler, %ho made a Senate
speech on Wednesday. denouncing
British interference" in American
diplomatic affairs. released the
cable in reply to charges by the
British ambassador, the Earl of
Halifax, that persons in respon-
sible quarters" had made assertions
which are quite untrue"
. Phillips recall from London as
adviser to General Dwight D. Eisen-
hover was recently attributed by
Columnist Drew Pearson to Pear
sons publication of a Phillips men,
orandum to the President criticiz-
ing conditions in India. Chandler's
speech, demanding a presidential
report to the Senate on the case,
followed the Pearson story.
l. In this memorandum to the Pres
ident. Phillips was reported to have
urged a solemn declaration" by
King George of Britain that India
would achieve full independence at
a. specific date after the war. The
British government repeatedly has
rejected such promise to India
While adviser to Eisenhower,
Phillips retained his previous title
as the Presidents personal repre-
sentative in India.
