An eminent New York industrial psy-
chiatrist, DR.. Lydia Giberson, declared
In An address here last night that it was
her personal experience that the great
mass Of fighting men have been essen
TALLY unchanged by service at the front
and are motivated largely by a feeling
Of relief that they are reverting to
civilian status. Those still fighting, she
feels, want only to get the dirty work
done and return home Every few will
have been inoculated, I think. with the
virus Of militarism," she added.
OF course, there viii be . tragic num-
Der who will carry the mental scars Of
battle with them into the peace, but DR..
Giberson is firmly convinced that many
unnecessary bogies have been raised in
this connection by over-zealous students
Of human relations.
Her words Of reinsurance are indeed
welcome after all the sonbre warnings
that have been voiced in some quarters.
However, most of us have always had
too much faith in the men who make
up our fighting forces, and the careful
screening they undergo at reception cen
ters. to have been unduly concerned
even when the worst of the cry-havoc
school took to the platform.

tion the CIO agents-worked their heads
of and cluttered up the House corridors
and ofdces for q week before the vote
was taken. But even so, change of
just flve votes would have tied up the
bill.
Senators who do not like the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Wallace, including some of
those who voted to take his appoint
ment up before the George bill, have
come to the conclusion that after all
they have won what they set out TO
get-the removal of the loan agencies
from the control of the former Vice
President. Some of them are inclined.

he sent up the nomination Of Mr.. WAL

the theory that the President has an
unwritten right to pick the members oil

times called.
Mr.. Wallace really had quite q bit
OF luck In this tight. Had Senator
George not introduced his bill, in the
first place, probably nothing could have
saved the former Vice President.
Evening star., 1945-02-20

The administration won its fight to
put across the George bill stripping
the Federal loan agencies from the
Department Of Commerce, as pre-
requisite to Senate confirmation Of the
nomination Of former Vice President
Wallace to be Secretary Of Commerce.
This in all probability saves the skin
of Mr.. Wallace and the face of the ad-
ministration. So close was the vote
in the House. however, that the
Republican and anti-New Deal Demo-
cratic leaders in the House are freely
predicting that the administration will
have difficult job in the future putting
across any 'leftist" legislation.
The vote on q motion to recommit
the George bill-which would virtually
have killed the bill, at least until after
the Senate had been forced to vote on
Mr.. Wallace, was 204 to 1876. Only two
Republicans joined with the admins
tration forcess against the motion to
recommit-one from California and the
other from Pennsylvania, where the
CIO, whose fair-haired boy is Mr..
Wallace-are strongly intrenched.
Had the Senate Republicans shown
themselves as stout as the House Re-
publicans. the Wallace nomination
would have been forced to a showdown
in the Upper House before the George
bill was considered-and Mr.. wallace
would have been defeated When the
vote comes on the nomination on
March /. it Is now believed a majority
of the Senate will vote confirmation
although new fight Is starting against
Wallace. Nine Republican Senators
voted against taking up the Wallace
nomination-making the vote a tie
when they had q chance Of forcing
immediate action. Opportunity to de-
feat the Wallace nomination was lost
right there-and opportunity does not
often knock at the door second time.

be given now the cabinet once he

Dumuqe in Athens

Dispatches from Athens tell of
damage suffered by several ancient
monuments during the recent civil
strife there, but 1t is not clear as yet
to what degree or extent the injuries
are serious. Mere bullet marks on
the Caryatids of the Erechtheion-
the famous maidens Of the portico-
might not mean very much. The
ancient Ionic shrine Of Athena has
been battered more or less system
atically for centuries. Part of its
glory is that it defies abuse. Not
even Lord Elgin could destroy its
beauty altogether. He carried away
tons of its marbles, yet enough re-
manned to indicate why even In
antiquity the temple widely was
celebrated for its grace and grandeur.
A few additional mutilations OF
the walls and pillars sacred to the
wingless Goddess Of Victory-Nike
Apteros-likewise~ may be inconse-
quential. The Turks about 1884
made use of the original building
as a quarry for stone they required
for constructing a battery. An
architectural masterpiece that could
survive such desecration would not
be amenable to complete disintegra-
ton from modern mortar shells
landing in its neighborhood.
Shells also struck the Parthenon,
with what effect the Associated Press
thus far has not disclosed. One
missile hit the western foundation
steps, second "the inclosed portion"
and a third the western gable.
Whether the impact Of these blows
was heavy enough to bring down
large portions of the structure is a
question which is sure to be asked
on this side Of the Atlantic as we'll
as in Europe. Scholars will remem-
ber that during the siege Of Athens
by the Venetians IN 1887, bomb
fell into Z powder vault which
the Turkuh military authorities
thoughtfnlly had .secreted" Ia the

The Two Jima Landing
By Maj. George Fielding EIiof

The power OF the American forces con-
centrated against little Two Island indi-
Gates that Fleet Admiral Nimitz and his
stan believe the Japanese defenses to
be Of unusual strength.
A tremendous series of air lombard
ments, accompanied in the last stages
by the fire of at least six battleships
mounting fifty-four 14-inch and twelve
12-inch guns, Is a tremendous prepara-
tion when directed against triangle of
land no more than 5 miles In length and
an miles in width at Its broadest, taper
ing OF southwestward to q long thin
point.
{ The total area Of Two is only S or 6
square miles. Much Of this area Is
rocky wooded hillside, rising to heights
Of $40 feet In the broad northwestern
part OF the island, and with another
height Mount SuribachD at the south
eastern tip.
Then comes the landing-no less than
two divisions of marines-an amphibi-
Gus corps. Obviously the American COM
manders-Adniiral Spruance, 1t. Gen.
Rowland Smith-mean to make sure of
Two. and hope by the application OF
terrific power to cut down the price
in casualties
First reports say that the marines
have secured q 4,500-yard beachhead
on the southeastern coast Of the island,
and have advanced several hundred
yards. II this Is correct, it means that
the initial landings have covered the
whole shore line of Iwo's stall" and
have already pushed well up the sloping
ground which faces them.
The capture Of the tail" viii, how
ever, probably be the easiest part Of the
task as far Is the marines are con-
cerned. It win be Mount Suribachi
down at the tip on the left Of the
marines landing area, and the main
hill mass of the island on the right,
which will present the real difnculty.
There can be little doubt that the
japanese are well dug in, that they have
built deep shelters, tunnels and con-
cealed gun positions. Some Of these
will have been knocked out by the
preparatory bombardment, but others
will be revealed only as the marines 90
forward, and viii have to b reduced By
hard fighting on the ground

ing with only comparatively small
part OF its force in the first wave and
with plenty Of reserve strength to come
in behin6. Since we are told that at
least two divisions are taking part, an
other landing is indicated.
Considering the situation as q whole,
there seems no reason to doubt that we
shall gain possession Of Two Jima. The
price we shall have to pay for 1t de-
pends very largely on the determination
with which the Japanese tight On the
very threshold of their sacred" home
land, they may fight harder than they
did for Guam or for the central valleys
Of Luzon.
They may fight as they fought for
SaipAn, or Peleliu, or on Leyte. That
remains to be seen. It is necessary to
point out that the Japanese despera-
tion had some weak spots in 1t OF late,
but we would be rash to assume that
this will be the case on Two.
Much also depends on the thorough
ness with which the. preliminary bonn
bardment by air and gunfire has done
its work. We have come long way
since Tarawa. We have acquired new
perfections of technique in the matter
Of destroying deep shelters and other
japanese fortifications. But again, it
would be rash to assume that any con-
centration of IRE can SO reduce the
ability Of the enemy to resist, even On q
little island like Two, that the work of
the landing forces will be other than
hard and bloody.
When we get Iwo-as get 1t we shall
we have taken another long step for

sea can be kept under constant sur
veillance.
We have a staging base for medium

proved to that extent, which seems
possible $50 that We can keep up far

This Changing World
By Constantine BroiCn

Gen de Gaulle's refusal to meet Pres-
ident Roosevelt outside France Is con-
sidered in diplomatic circles Is more
than show Of III temper because he
had not been invited to Yalta. II Is
pointed out that the Big Three con-
ference was held on Russian territory
and consequently It was up to Premier
Stain to issue invitations to those he
desired to have as guests.
Gen. de Gaulle is really illustrating
the attitude of Europe toward the
United States. This can be summed up
as follows: "You Americans are nov
ices In the field Of international politics.
What you do or say Is OF little conse-
quence since all your actions are de-
termined by what Moscow decides. We
are willing to accept lease-lend and
other benefits which you are able to
deliver from your factories and your
food stores But so long as we enjoy
the confidence and support Of the
U. s. 8. r. we know that We can get
along politically without you"
Friends Of Gen. de Gaulle's who are
now visiting the United States MAIN
tain that ut this time neither France
nor any other European country can
afford to incur Russia's displcasure,
even by implication. On the other hand,
any manifestation Of independence to-
ward the United States or Great Britain
is not frowned on by the leaders in
Moscow.
In the new world political setup
France has made her choice and 1t is
not an exaggeration to say that as
France goes so goes the rest Of Western
Europe.
For more than four years Gen. de
Gaulle and his associates have been fol-
lowing from London and Algiers the
political trends of the United States
and Great Britain. They had better
inside view of the shape of things to
come than most people in this country.
When Gen. de Gaulle arrived in Paris
his first real concern was whether he
could obtain Stalin's support. His trip
to Moscow, where he signed 20-year
offensive defensive treaty with the
U. 8. S. r., has given him the assurance
that while he and his government would
have to be subservient to Russia in all
European political matters he was OBJ
tanning an independence Of action to-
ward the United States and Great
Britain.

Hope for an Opportunity

The Summers -Capper resolution is
yet to be reported from the House
Judiciary Committee, or even from
the subcommittee which has it
under consideration.
Yet it Is not counting chickens
before they are Matched to speculate
on what the House Rules Committee
will do with the resolution and every
one realizes the significance of
Chairman Sabath'S statement that
he will do all within his own power
to see that the resolution is taken
up and placed before the House.
-Four years ago comparable but
not identical resolution by Chair
man Summers was indorsed by the
Judiciary Committee, only to be
pigeon-holed in the Rules Commit
tee. Representative Jennings Ran
dolph, In arguing for the resolution
at the subcommittee hearings last
week, placed much emphasis on the
importance Of getting a rule which
will make a House vote possible this
year, confidently predicting that the
House would approve the resolution.
Much depends, therefore, on the
Rules Committee and Mr.. Sabath's
personal Endorsement Of the resolu-
ton and his assurance of prompt
consideration are highly encour-
aging. Like Mr.. Summers, he stressed
the negative characteristics of the
pending resolution. It does not
impinge on the exclusive control of
the District by Congress. It does
not propose transfer of such control
to the residents of the seat of gov
eminent. 1t does not decrease any
powers Of Congress, merely granting
to Congress a new power (the power
to provide for District of Columbia
representation in the National Gov
ernment) to be exercised in the
discretion Of Congress. 1t does not
create a new state or affect the
sovereignty Of any existing State
nor commit Congress to any step
that is irrevocable.
It does make possible the means
for removal of an unsound, unwhole-
some condition at the seat of gov
eminent which is contradictory to
everything we advocate. as a Nation,
in representative government. It
is only reasonable, therefore, to be-
Heve that a favorable recommends
ton from the House Judiciary Com
mittee, if given fair consideration
in the Rules Committee, will bring
the resolution to the House floor for
the opportunity, so long delayed and
50 much deserved, of vote by the
representatives Of the people.

Arqentine-Germon Tiff

Growing tension between Buenos
Aires and Berlin is giving rise to
widespread speculation. The Argen-
tine government recently broke dip
lomatic relations with Germany and
has now followed this up with a stiff
note, sent through the Swiss Lega-
ton, protesting strongly against
what Is termed a German threat"
to deny safe conduct to some Argen-
tine diplomats accredited to the
Reich. The note states that failure
to comply with the normal exchange
procedure would be regarded as a
hostile act. In diplomatic parlance,
that phrase means war.
However, one should not Jump to
the conclusion that war is inevitable
or even imminent. Since the note
contained no time limit for an an
swer. the German reply may take a
leisurely course. Considering the
circumstances, a fortnight would be
normal. Meanwhile, Cesar Ameghino,
the Argentine Acting Foreign Minis
ter, has stated that the incident is
not deemed Of sufficient gravity to
precipitate a declaration of hostili-
ties, while the Argentine public takes
the news with a calmness bordering
on Indifference.
The whole matter of Argentine
German relations should be viewed
In the larger framework of Argen-
tine foreign policy. That policy has
been one Of "isolationist" neutrality
which, in practice, has favored Axis
interests and has kept Argentina
aloof from the program of Pan
American cooperation that has
rallied virtually all the other Latin
American republics with the United
States to the cause of the United
Nations. Most of the nations in the
Western Hemisphere have declined
10 recognize the present Argentine
regime headed by General Edelmiro
Farrell, and the problem Of Argen-
tina will undoubtedly be discussed
and possibly handled at the inter-
American conference which convenes
tomorrow at Mexico City, from which
Argentina has been tacitly excluded.
1t is unlikely that anything short of
an Argentine declaration Of war on
the Reich would have much effect
upon the conferences deliberations.
In many quarters Argentina's diplo-
matte break with Germany is taken
more as gesture than as genuine
change in policy.
A state Of war between Buenos
Aires and Berlin might. indeed.
