hate to give it up, but it's driving
me crazy. Rather, Jean is driv-
ing me crazy on the subject of the
hat.
The fact that I bought and
lost two Borsalinos in Italy last
year, and permanently misplaced
the one purchased in London last
March, seems to have engraved
itself on her memory. She almost
threw fit when I got this one in
Luxembourg a few days ago,
and suggested that 7 buy a soap
bubble because it would last me
longer.
Rules for the Hat
We now have what are known
as the Rules for the Hat.
They are as inflexible as the
articles of war.
Rule No. / is that I am never
allowed to wear it any place where
I might have to take it off. This
means that I can't wear it to res
taurants or movies, in elevators or
to any ones house, because Jean
says that once removed from my
head it's goner.
I got in a jam over the hat the
very first day in Rotterdam. I
was allowed to wear it because
we were just going to walk about
the streets, sightseeing and win
dow shopping. Everything was

The United States would strongly
support a move within the Secu-
rity Council to implement its

In the absence Of such an Or
ganized international police force
as an enforcement arm, the United
Nations, as we know, promptly au-
thorized an emergency U. N. mill
tary force when the North Korean
Communist attack came to shock
the world, sent out a call for
troops and other military and ma

Gen. Douglas Macarthur a.

This now has been symbolized
in Gen. MacArthur's first for

as u. N. commander which served
to dramatic the support by Sc OF

Only Russia, Poland and Czecho-

Thus far, as is known, we have
furnished all the land troops that
are operating with the South
Korean army, though naval and
air units have been furnished by
Great Britain, New Zealand, Aus
tralia, Canada and the Neither
lands. Little Thailand now has
come through with an offer OF
1000 ground troops, which, it is
hoped, will be an inspiration to
other member nations, and Great

recommendations as to the type
of equipment needed in the near
future. On the basis of these
recommendations, President Tru-
man is expected to decide whether
partial or total mobilization is re-
quired.
AS yet there is little interference
with mass production of con-
sumers' goods. The large indus
trial establishments have not had
time yet to prepare conversion to
wartime production. Thus. even
if general industrial mobilization
is ordered soon, it will take some
time to prepare the change from
civilian to military production.
Arms Orders Reduced.
Cuts in orders for planes, tanks
and other weapons needed by
large modern armies have been
made in the last two years because
some one in Mr.. Truman's official
family thought war was still
long way off. Those cuts led
American industries to devote all
their energies to the manufacture
of commercial goods. either for
American or overseas customers.
The latter purchased billions OF
dollars worth of goods each year
under the Marshall Plan. Not
being alerted for war, American
industrialists devoted all their
skill to increasing peacetime pro-
duction.
In their optimism our policy
makers accepted various evalua-
tionS from American and Allied
chiefs of staff. Some guessed that
Russia might be ready to start
shooting war sometime between
1854 and 1857. Others, more re-
Gently, changed their estimates
and predicted that if Russia were
going to fight the West-which
they still doubted somewhat-she
might be ready after 1852.
Western Strategists thought of
World War III on the pattern of
World War II. They believed that
another world war would be more
or less q repetition of the last,
which started when Hitler and
Stain "blitzed" Poland in 1899.

nearly always reasons why the hat

marginal lands Of the Western
nations.
Boom Continued.
Because military leaders be-
lieved overwhelmingly that moth
ing but a cold war would be
waged, at least until after 1852,
our Government decided to take
advantage of this respite and con-
tinue our economic boom. It pro-
ceeded on the theory that produc-
ton of war goods was wasteful.
Thus, while we created weapons
superior to those we had in the
last war, we built only prototypes
Moreover, we cut deeply into the
personnel and training of our
ground, air and naval forces.
It is true that the 1,600,0 900 men
we had in the three services rep
resented a much larger number
than we had before World War
II. But conditions had changed
radically since 1889, when a wal
in Europe appeared to many of us
as another struggle between those
perennially fighting nations.
Until December 7, 1941, we had
no global commitments. Even our
war planners believed that
Frances and Britain's strength
which enabled them to mobilize
some 100 divisions after Hitler's
aggreSsion-would give us the
needed time to prepare ourselves
if we should be drawn into the
conflict.
America Is the Target.
China, with its 2 million armed
men, was at least thorn in the
side of Japan's military effort. No
such conditions have existed in
the last three years. Only in
veterate optimists could blind
themselves to the fact that Amer
lea is the primary target Of the
men in the Kremlin.
Thus. the 100000 we had un-
der arms-of which barely SO per
cent were combat forces-were q
poor force with which to meet our
commitments, extending from Ko-
rea to the British Isles. But our
policymakers, convinced that Rus
sia did not have the war potential,
thought we had plenty of time in
which to arm ourselves. They
looked only for reports to show the
disposition and the movement of
Russian troops and disregarded
the preparations of Soviet satel-
lites. We might as well enjoy our
prosperity, it was thought, be-
fore we gave any real thought to
the grim business of war.
The Kremlin men upset our
plans. Now it is a matter Of arm
ing ourselves more speedily than
we have ever done in our whole
history as nation. We must pre-
pare speedily the latest military
equipment for a force which even
tually will be as large as that we
had at the end Of the last war.
At the same time we must pro-
vide every bit Of equipment for
those nations which are willing to
meet the Soviet onslaught on our
side.

Pentagon Tuesday for a special
briefing with the Joint Chiefs OF
Staff and defense planners. They
got satisfactory report on Korea.
The military said plainly that no
body told them they'd have to
fight in Korea, so they weren't
ready. They promised that in
about ten days the situation would
be stabilized and the story would
be different.
Faces Lengthen.
There were some complainers
but for the most part members
went along with the salty Geor-
gian, hartman Vinson of
House Armed Services. Mr.. Vim
sons story Is that he doesn't care
how the OK got into the ditch, he
wants to put his energy into get
ting the OK out and keeping him
on the road.
Congressional faces heightened,
however. when the questioning
began about the situation above
and beyond Korea. For example,
Admiral Sherman, Chief of Naval
Operations. said he had issued
orders to the fleet to defend For
mosa. When pessimist inquired
what he would do If that didn't
work, he said stif11y that he had
not gone further than that.
Nobody expects Admiral Sher-
man to run the war. But mem
bers Of Congress are going into the
fall election with q sense Of guilt
about the green troops that have
fallen In Korea. They are pre-
pared to admit fault In them
selves; they are, however, demand
Ing better planning and wiser
guidance from the executive
branch for the future.
Their temper is reflected In the
speech Representative Vinson later
made in the House, demanding
that American forces be built up
for the "global war that ID q
distinct possibility at any time. :"
The Vinson thesis will be devel-
oped In the Senate by Lyndon
johnson Of Texas who trained un-
der MIR. Vinson for many years In
the House on the old Naval Az
fairs Committee, and by others.

Hot Leave

considerable exercise of the imagination
would be required to see any justice in the
suggestion that working time lost by Federal
employees in excessively hot weather should be
charged against their annual leave.
1t would seem that the real responsibility
here lies with the Government. not with the
worker. 1t is up to the Government, as the
employer, to provide, quarters in which its en-
ployes can work, even when the temperature
is soaring on summer afternoon. If the Gov
ernment cannot, or will not do this, there is no
reason why the employe should be penalized
by having charged against his annual leave
the few hours that he loses from work. 1t might
be different IL. the employe could make some
good use of the time lost from work. But Wash
