Teamwork for Defense

Defense Secretary ForreStal finally has
found q formula which, If its unquall1ed
approval by the Joint Chiefs of Staff means
anything, should bring uniflcation into
being-whereas 1t has existed largely on
paper in the past. The understanding
reached by the three armed services at
the recent Newport Conference seems,
from the announcement, to be so clear
cut as to leave little if any room for
further pickering and backbiting. This
dissension had become so bitter that de-
fense planning was in danger of being
seriously impeded
The major bone of contention had been
strategic air warfare, field which the
Air Force claimed as It's exclusive province.
Efforts to bring an agreement between
the Air Force and the Navy in this area
had been made at prior conference at
Key West, without success. The Navy had
insisted that 1T had not only the right
but the duty of bombing land targets from
carriers If this would contribute to victory.
With this concept in mind, it succeeded in
getting congressional approval of super
carrier, capable of launching bombers
carrying atom bombs. The Air Force
regarded this project with misgivings, and
firmly resisted any invasion Of the stra-
tegic bombing field by carrier-based avia-
tion. There was friction, also, over the
Navy's insistence on exclusive control of
antisubmarine warfare
Under the agreement adopted in prin-
ciple at Newport the Air Forces primary
responsibility for strategic air warfare is
reafirmed, but the eminently sensible
reservation is made that carrier based
aviation will be used If such added striking
power will render the attack more effective.
This is to be more than just permissive
arrangement. The Air Force is required to
seek naval help when circumstances make
1t advisable. Similarly, the Navy is pledged
to make use of Air Force bombers when
ever their employment against enemy SUBJ
marines will advance the war effort. The
decisions in such cases presumably will
be made by the Joint Chiefs of Staff
AS Mr.. Forrestal has pointed out, the
new understanding should not be looked
upon as victory for either the Air Force
or the Navy in the unfortunate inter-
service battle which has ragged since the
so-called merger of the three arms The
real victor is the national defense which
should be materially strengthened. The
situation which has prevailed since pas
sage of the Unification Act has been an in
tolerable one. Mr.. Forrestal deserves great
credit for his firm but tactful efforts to
create an effective, co-ordinated defense
team, dedicated to warning against
common enemy, rather than to squabbling
among themselves.

Koreu's American Liberutor

An epochal chapter in Koreas troubled
history will come to a close with the de-
parture of Lieutenant General John R.
Hodge from Seoul The chapter began
September 8, 1945, with the occupation OF
Southern Korea by American troops under
command of General Hodge. 1t ends with
the replacement of military control by
Southern Korea civil government, freely
elected according to democratic principles.
The lovers of liberty in Korea owe a great
deal to the American general who came
to their Japanese-despoiled country as a
liberator and stayed for nearly three years
as a protector of their rights as "a free
people. 1t was not a routine occupation
which befell General Hodge. Indeed, he
soon found himself in one of the most
potentially explosive hot spots of our post
war dealings with the Russians. Korea,
no less than Germany, became seat of
contention between United States and
Soviet occupation authorities. The obdu-
rate and inexplicable Russians transformed
the thirty eighth parallel into Korean
brand of Iron Curtain, behind which they
trained North Korean troops and con-
Evening star., 1948-08-26

Quoted military operations which posed
serious threat to our small Army and its
commander. Provocative raids, kidnap-
ings and other incidents were frequent irri-
tants that taxed the temper, tact and in
telligence of General Hodge. Throughout
the continuing ordeal he stood firm against
Russian bluster and bullying, and stanchly
defended American rights and the rights
of natives who looked to him for leader
ship.
General Hodges difficult job was COM
pleted satisfactorily with the peaceful elec-
tion of Southern Korean native govern
ment. That election marked the end of
military government south of the thirty
eighth parallel. The occupation will go
on, however, as protective measure, under
Major General John B. Coulter, deputy to
General Hodge Now General Hodge is
coming back for permanent" tour of
duty on home soil. Having been on over
seas assignments since June, 1912, much
of which time was spent on arduous and
dangerous combat duties, the General well
deserves the "stateside" assignment and
the Communications given him by President
Truman and Army Secretary Royal.

Rebuilding plymouth

The recently announced plan to rebuild
the ancient town Of Plymouth, Massachu-
setts, is certain to be of interest to all who
care about Colonial history John D.
Rockefeller, junior, set an example at
Williamsburg, Virginia, which apparently
Is to be followed in at least one other place.
Further developments along a similar line
would serve to dramatize the Nations
origins constructively. The more of them
there are the better picture of the past
will Americans have.
Plymouth at its start was called New
Plymouth to distinguish it from Old
Plymouth in England where the Plymouth
Company was organized in 1907 The vii
lage was established by passengers arriving
IN the Mayhower on its first voyage over
the Atlantic. They came ashore on the
famous Rock, December II, 1920. One
reason for their selection OF the site was
the availability of cornfields planted by
Indians who had died of pestilence during
the preceding autumn. The winter was
not severely cold nor stormy, but the
settlers were in poor condition for even
mild climate. Lack of sufficient nourishing
food and proper housing caused much suf-
fering. BY spring nearly half of the COM
munity had perished. The rest, however.
had caught on" to life in the New World.
Within single year the second permanent
English settlement in North America really
was permanent.
Indeed, for whole decade it was the
only colony in New England It's character
as metropolis gave added significance to
It's development Relics preserved in Pill
grim Hall reflect the growth of the town
and the planting" of its satellites, some
OF which eventually overshadowed it to its
serious injury. The influence of Plymouth
for democracy in government and the con-
gregational principle in religious affairs,
however, never faded. It follows that the
rebuilding of the old town should have a
social and cultural value in respect to
reminding modern Americans of the lib
erty-loving ideals of their Colonial fathers.

= The Graves of Our Soldiers
Search for Remains of the Fallen Still Goes On in Countries
Which They Died to Free
By the Req. Edmund A. Walsh, S. J.
vice President, aeorsetovn university

:, Editors Note The f. foG.ins low @ orig
represents the personal al impressions of man veil
auaifed to and to Judge the work he describes.
On pleasant morning in early April of this
year motored from Rome to the American
Military Cemetery at Nettuno, near the Anzio
Beachhead, where so many soldiers of the
United States were buried This trip and the
subsequent view of the activities at Nettuno
served to confirm certain earlier Impressions
had gathered in the Far East concerning the
methods and practices of the Graves Regis
tration Service Of the American Army in
accomplishing Its task of returning bodies of
servicemen for feinterment in the United
STATES.
In Japan had made the acquaintance OF
officers and other personnel charged with the
duty OF conserving in proper dignity the last
resting place Of soldiers fallen in discharge of
duty in that area, eg., in the military ceme-
terry at Yokohama. In addition, they were pre-
pairing large groups Of recovered bodies for
the long voyage back to their fnal burial in
American soil.
To many Americans the whole program Of
exhumabon and re-burial Is q regrettable
example Of exaggerated devotion to the
memory OF the dead. In their opinion it
would be far better-and more in keeping with
a soldiers destiny-to let the dead rest peace
fully where they fell, in honored graves in
cherished plots Of foreign soil, tended by
public care and revered by private gratitude.
But such considerations are beside the point;
the law setting up such program of reinter-
ment is actually In existence and operating.
What is of Importance Is to know how 1t is
conducted and with what success particularly
in respect to certainty of Identification.
The Far Eastern area has been Systematically
combed from Burma to the islands of the
Pacific and every effort made to locate and
recover tho bodies of Americans from all
branches Of the service.
Work In the Philippines.
In the Philippines = very extensive-and

chaplain engaged in this operation, Major

record which shows in detail the exacting
process Of Identification and reverent care
exercised in the discharge Of obligations
imposed on the Army. He personally seeks
out bodies in the most remote spots, on infor-
nation furnished by observant natives or by
Army records; he performs the religious rites
which might have been rendered impossible

A. A. A. S. Centenary

The celebration OF the one hundredth
anniversary of the organization of the
American Association for the Advancement
of Science should and doubtless will be an
event of national Importance. Five special
exhibitions of books, manuscripts, engrav-
1ngs, photographs and other material
relating to the society have been an
nounced by the Library of Congress for
the period between September IL and
October Is Similar notice of the occasion
may be expected to be taken by other
agencies.
All the learned bodies of the United
States have played vital roles in the de-
velopment of human culture Many of
them trace back to a club founded by
Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia in 1727.
The Dictionary of American Biography
credits William C. Redfield, Connecticut
Saddler and harness maker who became q
leading meteorologist, with being the first
president of the A. A. A. S. His successors
include some of the greatest American
savants-Joseph Henry, Louis Agassiz, Asa
Gray Simon Newcomb, Samuel P. Langley,
Daniel G. Brinton, Asaph Hall, William H.
Welch, David Starr Jordan, Albert A.
Nicholson, Charles w. Eliot, Henry Fair
field Osborn, Franz Boas and Edwin G.
Conklin among the number.
1t is not simply for it's distinguished
administrative officers, however, that the
A. A. A. S. is memorable. The larger value
of it is to be discovered in the multitude
of earnest, selhess workers who may not be
famous even in their own home neighbor-
hoods yet who are building up day by day
the wealth of organized common sense"
upon which national security, prosperity
and progress most notably depend. 1t is
fair to say for the association that it is
scientific democracy at its best. The
centenary affords the general public an
opportunity to express appreciation for
it's constructive services.

A Revolt CoIIupses

If there is going to be any revolt in
Virginia this year against President
Truman it will not be staged by that
States professional politicians. This is
the only meaning that can be read into
the announcement that there will be no
meeting of the State Democratic Central
Committee until after Labor Day-a delay
which as matter of law commits the
Democratic slate of electors to the Truman
Barkley ticket.
This is an ingloriouS ending to the pro-
feSSional revolt which began last February
when Governor Tuck asked the State Leg
islature to make possible the Withholding
of Virginias eleven electoral votes from
President Truman if he should persist in
his advocacy of the Civil Rights program.
1t does not mean, of course, that Gov
ernor Tuck or those who went along with
him are any less opposed to the Civil
Rights program or, for that matter, to
President Truman. But it does mean that
they have not been able to persuade
enough politicians and enough voters that
the proper remedy is formal break with
the National Democratic Party-a break
which almost certainly would bring about
a victory in the State for the Republican
presidential nominee who might well prove
to be a more effective champion of civil
rights than Mr.. Truman.
In all probability the Governor and his
supporters could have gone through with
their program had they wanted to do so.
But heavy restraining influence was laid
upon them by the fact that all is not well
within the Virginia Democratic Party. A
gubernatorial election is coming up and
there are three Democratic primary candi-
dates in the field One is tested organiza-
tion man, State Senator Battle of Char
lottesville. Another is Horace Edwards,
the Mayor of Richmond. 1t is not entirely
clear whether he is an organization man
or whether he is trying to make the or
ganization his own. The third is Francis
Pickens Miller, formerly of Fairfax County
and now of Charlottesville, who will seek
the Democratic nomination with the sup
port of all those elements opposed to the
Byrd-Tuck organization. In this situation,
lacking strong voter support for Truman
bolt, 1t is not hard to understand why the
organization leaders have concluded that.
for this year at least, discretion is the
better part of valor.
The effect of the collapse Of their revolt
Is to leave the decision to the rank and
ale Of Virginia's electorate. They will be

Moscow Holds the Kew

There is no reason to attach any great
Importance to the closing of the two
Russian consulates in this country and
the Soviet demand that we shut down
our own consular outpost in Vladivostok.
The incident is spectacular, but it is not
calculated to have any important bearing
on our future relations with the Russians.
1t is to Moscow, and the discussions still
under way there, that the world must
look for an answer to the overriding ques-
tion offwhether there is to be an early
Improvement in the international climate.
The American consulate in Vladivostok
has been of almost no value to U.S. The
personnel there have been little better
than prisoners in the city, and so close
watch is maintained that at night the
Russians keep searchlights playing on the
consulate building. Hence, we have derived
little benefit from the consulate, even as
listening post" and since trade with
the Russians is a government-co controlled
affair neither our consulate in Vladivostok
nor the comparable Russian establishments
in New York and San Francisco have full
filled the usual commercial functions of
consular agencies.
The fair inference from this is that the
Soviet action is a face-saving move with
out any significant practical consequences.
1t was hardly to be expected that the
Soviet government would acquieSce tamely
In our expulsion of Jacob M. Lomakin, its
consul general in New York, for improper
conduct. For L.omakin, if not under spe-
cific instructions, unquestionably was act
u,ifh
men abducted the Russian school teacher.
Mrs. Oksana Kasenkina, from che White
Russian refugee farm, and 1t was a fore
gone conclusion that the Kremlin would
reject the American protest and make
some countermove to avoid loss OF face as
result OF the expulsion OF their repre-
sentative.
1t may be doubted that they have
succeeded. For the Russian government
has taken the position that Mr.. Lomakin
acted properly, that he was merely trying
to protect Mrs. Kasenkina from the machi-
nations of the White Russians and the
FBI. But she tells another story In an
interview yesterday, Mrs. Kasenkina said
she jumped from the consulate, not to
kill herself but to escape from consular
officials who were holding her prisoner
there.
Be this as it may, the fact remains that
the really significant scene is being acted
out in Moscow. And it is difficult if not
impossible to form any worthwhile
opinion as to the trend of the conversa-
tions between the Western representatives
and Premier Stain. The reports which
!, ,on1r4 r., I,fa
often contradictory About all that is
definitely known is that the feared break
down of discussions has not materialized,
that there will be at least one more meet
ing with the Soviet leader. There may not
be much comfort in this state of affairs
but the people of the West will have to
content themselves with the thought that
the situation could be much worse.

Trouble With the Schools


Are you one Of the persons who was shocked
when Miss Elizabeth Bentley testified that
though she attended high-ranking woman's
college she had studied little or no American
history or civics? Could 1t be possible?
One of our local radio stations features a
Saturday radio contest for school children on
which each participant is asked several ques-
tions all of which are supposed to be based
on his or her grade in school. Here are three
questions I recall seventh and eighth grade
students could not answer:
Cd How many terms did George Washington
serve as President?
ca For whom was the State Of Pennsyl-
vania named?
60 Is Pennsylvania north or south Of the
Mason and Dixon line?
You may say that was because Of mike
fright" Maybe 50. but have my doubts. I
dare say that II those youngsters had been

One incident In particular remains wildly
In my memory. A photograph Of one cemetery,
No. Manila, shows young American Jesuit,
In ecclesiastical garb, standing beside the grave
OF an American soldier whose name on the
white cross he had recognized as that Of q
former comrade at st. Peters College in Jersey

In Italy some 10000 American soldiers laid
down their lives from the moment Of the first
invasion to the surrender Of the Nazis. OF
these, 900 bodies have been recovered, identi-
fed and properly inferred. An unending search
for the missing is still in progress.
Some newly arrived remains were being as
sembled on the day of my visit and was per-
mitted to follow the progressive stages by which
the expert anthropologist is enabled to identity
each body and vouch for the results All that

Question About Peace
In addition to my appreciation of the care
and unfailing reverence manifested by the
officers and men in charge of this operation I
could not refrain from meditating on another
thought which stayed with me on the drive
back to Rome: How long will the conscience
OF the world tolerate the vicious inhumanity OF
war as an accepted. permanent institution of
modern civilization and permit the continued
slaughter Of its youth, instead Of devising
means to solve international controversies by
rules Of right reason, by law universally ac-
cepted and by adherence to the pleadings of
the Prince Of Peace?
The writer Of these lines is not q pacifst in
the current acceptation OF that term. But
no man who knows the price of war and can
count the graves it has dug can refuse to raise
his voice in condemnation OF any government
which deliberately provokes armed warfare,
or which wantonly embarks on aggressions that
must ultimately lead to another devastating
conflict
