On the Other Hand
Stassen's Bid for Another Talk
With Stain Not Well.Timed

machinery capable Of actually
safeguarding peace.
The notion that it may be pos
sible for somebody to sit down
with Stain and persuade him to
mend his ways is difficult notion
to kill. We can see very clearly
all the reasons why he and his
country would benefit from the
abandonment of the present arms
race and the avoidance of an
other world war. 1t ought to be
possible to make him see it just
as clearly and cause him to do
something about 1t. Or so we are
apt to think.
What Would Be Achieved?
But there isn't anything that
we, including Stassen. can tell
Stain that he doesn't already
know. If it were otherwise. if
the grim mystery man should be
susceptible to the logic and the
eloquence of a Stassen or, more
Importantly. to that of an official
spokesman for the American peo-
pie, what would be achieved? We
would then have a new under
standing" with the Russian hero,
what might be called a moral
understanding, for whatever value
that might have. And if Stain
meant it with all his heart and
If his power is as absolute as
generally believed "a debatable
point-how long would the under
standing last? AS long as Stain
lives, perhaps. Well. Stain won't
live forever and he is now an old
man.
All this being so 1t would be just
as well If Stassen's brash letter
were to get lost in the mail. It
would be better, indeed, If Stassen
were to recall it and devote part
of the leave he is taking from his
educational duties to furthering
the efforts of the hard-working
delegates at Lake Success. This
he could do by turning his con-
versational talents loose on other
leaders of his own party, to en-
courage them to give their out
spoken support to the delegates.
1t would be helpful to have the
Russian group know that America
is united in its determination to
make the United Nations work
and is not disposed to follow any
more wishful will 'o-the- -Wisps
such as Stassen's latest amateur
Offering.

to throw them into battle IN sup
port of the collapsing North Kor-
can regime. They may delay the
unification of Korea. but cannot
prevent our inevitable victory.
Reports from Tokyo show that
Gen. Macarthur now is fully con-
fdent that the United Nations
ground, air and sea strength can
not be seriously interfered with,
regardless of what the Peiping
regime decides to do.
The columns of supplies being
sent to the Pyongyang area from
Manchuria are extremely vulner-
able. They are made up of a mix
ture of motorized and animal
drawn vehicles. The distance is
long and when weather conditions
interfere with our Air Force the
flyers can make. up for lost time
because Of the sslowness of the
moving columns. Naturally a
number of vehicles do reach their
destination. but by no means all.
Costly Campaign Still Ahead.
We still have ahead of us a
costly campaign which will in
volve severe casualties. But there
is no longer any fear of defeat in
that area, which the Russians
chose for their first test Of
strength with the West.
Some of the Chinese Commu-
mist military leaders themselves
have serious doubts about the
advisability of engaging United
Nations forces openly in this lost
North Korean campaign. Their
fear is of the effect on the rank
and file of their forces if they
are defeated by Americans, South
Koreans, British and Australians.
The battle-hardened Chinese
Reds hitherto have fought only
other Chinese. Some of the vet
erans fought as guerrillas against
the Japanese. But they have
never been pitted against West
ern troops. The fact that the
North Koreans. who had every
advantage - surprise, numerical
superiority in men and equipment
on their side when they started
the invasion June Is. have utterly
collapsed in less than a month.
gives serious food for thought to
the Chinese Red leaders and their
Russian advisers.
Untimely intervention in North
Korea now might prove disastrous
to the Communist government,
which has been established little
more than a year in all Of China
The Peiping rulers are too shrewd
to risk a defeat, which would de-
stroy the myth of the invincibil-
ity of the peoples army" and
would have serious consequences
for a regime which is as shaky as
the rest of the satellite govern
ments imposed by Moscow's force
and trickery.

The Chinese Communist armies
supposedly 100000 strong, are
well trained and to point well
equipped. But they lack effective
air power. Even if Russia were to
send them large numbers of planes
which is highly improbable
lack of gasoline would make them
ineffective.
Oil Refineries Destroyed.
The oil refineries in Korea it
self have been destroyed by our
Air Force. Those in Manchuria
must rely on shale oil available
there. There are no important
oil fields being exploited in ST.
IBERIA. Nor have the Russians
been able-as far as is known
hereto construct asTrans- Ural
pipeline.
The oil and gasoline for the
Reds in that portion of Asia used
to come primarily from the
United States. Up to last spring

ers piled between our West Coast
and Siberia. carrying crude oil
to be transformed into high oc-
tame gas in plants delivered to the
U. S. S. R. during the war by this
country under the lease-lend
agreement. But that source of
supply now has been shut off. So
have those from Southeastern
Asia, ever since the British gov
ernment ordered an unofficial en-
barge on such shipments after
the outbreak of the Korean war

world organization for peace.
These delegates, representing
the greater part of the civilized
world, have been closing in on
the Soviet group. Under the
leadership of Secretary Acheson,
they have been finding the cour-
age and the means to brush aside
the Soviet processes of obstruc-
ton. The United Nations seems
about to become what 1t was in

promoting and protecting world
peace.

This is something not easy to

BeIoff Girl Handed
To Mother, Removing
Jail Threat 10 Uncle

Four-year-old Sylvia Belof
was handed over to her mother,
Mrs. May Beloff Spivak. in New
York yesterday afternoon, thus
removing the threat of District
Court contempt action which had
hung over the child's uncle, Sam
uel Beloff, all day.
Mr.. Beloff, brother of Simon
Beloff, wealthy real estate dealer
who died last Tuesday, was Or
dered Thursday to bring the child
into court by 10 am. yesterday.
When he showed up without
Sylvia Judge Alexander Holtzof
warned he would Jail the uncle
unless the child were produced
for habeas corpus proceedings
brought by Mrs. Spivak.
Mrs. Spivak and her attorney
made a rush flight to New York
just after the courtroom episode.
When they arrived there. Sylvia
was turned over to the party by
relatives of Samuel Beloff, who
had taken the child to New York
on Thursday. The lawyers noti-
fled Judge Holtzof by phone.
Mrs. Spivak charges in her
habeas corpus petition that Sam
uel Beloff took Sylvia, principal
heir to his brothers estimated
$250,O00 estate, into his custody
the day his brother died.
Simon Belof won a divorce and
custody of Sylvia from the mother
in 1948. The mother later mar

In Texas City Explosion

TEXAS CITY, Tex, Oct. T.
James Clark Franklin, 46, died
last night-another victim Of the
Texas City disaster which took
between 500 and 600 lives more
than three years ago.
The exact number of dead as a

never been determined. Mr..
Franklin was working on the
docks as a longshoreman foreman
on the morning of April 16, 1947,
when the S. S. Grandcamp blew
up, starting a chain of deadly
blasts. Though terribly hurt, he
was one of the few on the docks

weeks ago to overrule the death
sentence, which has seldom been
carried out in modern times. Her
request was turned over to the

Mrs. Gilbert returned to York
from Tokyo after the fighting
began in Korea. They have two
children and are expecting q
third.
1t. Gilbert, she said, wrote her
that he was convicted because
military authorities wanted tc

Gen. Brannon said that the
findings of the military court con-

an Army board here and by q
judicial council in the Judge Ad-

STEELE HOME
 DAMAGED BY FIRE

The Valleys most serious fire in many months partially de stroyed the home of Don Steele last Monday afternoon. The Steele home, located next to the Jack Cope farm, was newly built and still was not entirely com plete when 1t burned.
 Fireman Al Hagen estimated that the blaze resulted in 1000 structural damage, but he said the home could be made livable again by the re-celotexing of the interior
 Damage to personal effects and furniture was extensive, partci- larly to clothing packed in suit cases and ready for the Steele's planned visit to the states. Water was the major cause of damage.
 Cause of the fire apparently was a bacon rind simmering on the back of the kitchen range. Mrs. Steele left the kitchen to work in the garden and did not discover the fire until she glanced up to find her home wreathed in smoke. Flames were breaking through windows and doors by the time the fire fighting equip ment of the Valley Volunteer Fire Association arrived. Volunteers fought for an hour before the fire was controlled.
 In reference to country fires in particular, fire truck driver Johnny Gore has particular plea to voice today: ''Let the truck go first" he asks. It can mean , the difference between saving a home and losing it"
 MT. Gore was slowed to almost walking speed when driving to the Steele fire, because of the clouds of dust rolled up by ve- hicles speeding down the road before the fire truck.
