4-Year Task Of Restoring
KremIin Walls Completed
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Sept. 6.-Workers
today completed their four-year
job of restoring the walls and gilt
tering towers of the 450-year-old
Kremlin-the heart of Moscow
and once it bastion of defense.
In past centuries the ravages OF
time and wars on the famed By
zantine fortress have been re-
paired, but never so thoroughly as
the job just finished. Even re-
pairs done after Napoleon blew ur
the walls were not as complete az
today's work.
Along the nearly 2 miles of thick
walls masons and stone cutters
have put in 100000 new bricks
Steeplejacks have scaled the
bulging, Oriental towers to gild
the copper decorations. Stone fig
ures of strange beasts and alle-
gorical figures have been restored
New glazed tiles cover the roofs
The easements which Peter the
Great made wider have been re-
stored to their original narrow
shapes.

President Moy Try
To Stem Criticism of
Remarks About Corps
By George Beveridee

President Truman intends to
send a message to the Marine
Corps League convention at the
Hotel Statler this afternoon, pre-
sumably in an effort to stem the
bitter criticism arising from his
comments about the Marine
Corps, it was learned today. F..
White House spokesmen would
make no official comment, but it
was learned Mr.. Truman is dis
turbed by the widespread reaction
to his remarks that the Marines
are the Navy's police force" and
have "a propaganda machine al
most equal to Stalin's."
The President conferred at
length about it with members of
the White House staff this morn
ing, while protests were pouring
into his Office.
May Amplify Remarks.
It was expected that Mr.. Tru-
man would give considerable am
plification to the terse statements
made in letter to Representa-
tive McDonough, Republican, of
California which touched off the
turmoil.
The Marine Corps Leagues COM
mandant, Clay Nixon, who earlier
demanded an apology from the
President, told reporters today he
wants to consider it "a closed
iSsue.s
Mr.. Nixon said a convention
resolution had been proposed to
throw the President out of the
league and things of that sort. !"
but that he would try to quash
anything along that line. CAS-
commander in chief of the armed
forces, the President is a men,
Der of the league.)
Despite the propaganda" char
acterization, The Star learned,
the Marine Corps ended the last
fiscal year with only 83 of the
2,495 personnel authorized to
handle military publicity for all
the armed forces.
Included in Navy's Budget.
Stacked against the Marine
Corps 83 public relations men and
women. a Pentagon official said,
were totals of $50 for the Army,
935 for the Air Force, 393 for the
Navy and 124 for the Defense De-
partment.
Actually, the 83 Marine workers
were included in the Navy's budget
authorization for the fiscal year.
OF the 83, only 20 military and
FIVE civilians were in Washington
and Sc military and two civilians
were at field installations.
Further. the spokesman report
ed, only four Marines are among
the 124 personnel set up to handle
publicity at the Defense Depart
ment level.

breakdown, this table shows the

Of German Aid
In West Defense
Says Pact Nations
Must Do Vastly More
To Protect Europe
By Gornett D. Homer

today that a way should be found
for West Germany to take part in
the defense of Western Europe.
He told a news conference that
all the North Atlantic Treaty
countries must do vastly more
during the coming year to get an
adequate defense against Com
munist aggression build up.
The purpose of strengthening
the armed forces of Western Eu-
rope is to protect the whole area
against aggression, Mr.. Acheson
pointed out.
He added that West Germany
is in that area and therefore it is
highly desirable to find an appro-
pirate way in which the West
Germans can participate in that
defense effort.
Backs Up McCIOy View.
His remarks about Germany fol-
lowed a statement yesterday by
John j. McCloy, United States
High Commissioner for Germany,
that 1.-The Germans ought to be
enabled, if they want. to defend
their own country"
Mr.. Acheson was asked if he
intended to pursue policies toward
that end in meetings in New York
next week with British Foreign
Secretary Bevin and French For
eign Minister Schuman.
He implied this would be done,
but said he could not go into any
detail now about how the German
problem might be worked out.
Mr.. Acheson also was asked
about continued British shipments
of machine tools and other stra-
tegic materials to Russia. He said
discussions were going on about
this which he hoped would lead to
an arrangement compatible with
the security Of Western Europe.
Wide Range of Problems.
A wide range of problems, prob
ably greater in magnitude than
ever faced similar meetings, con-
front the Western Big Three For
eign Ministers and subsequent ses-
sions Of the North Atlantic Coun-
Gil in New York, Mr.. Acheson
said.
The work of the North Atlantic
Treaty organization during the
past year has laid the foundation
on which now some sinews have
to be put. he asserted.
The treaty nations, he pointed
out. have agreed on the strategic
concept for defense of the North
Atlantic area and have been at
work on plans to build up balanced
collective forces for unified de-
fense operations.
But so far, he said, there hasn't
been in fact hardly the beginning
of the increase in actual forces
that is necessary. With the plans
made, the great task now is to get
men actually under arms, equip
ment produced and the command
structure set up so that there will
be an effective defense force in
Europe, he added.
No Data on Arming Reich.
Mr.. Acheson did not spell out
what he may have in mind re-
garding a way for West Germany
to participate in the defense of
Western Europe.
It is understood, however, that
the trend of official thinking here
on this problem does not involve
rearming of Western Germany as
separate military force. Presi-
dent Truman has made it clear in
the past that American policy is
against such German rearmament.
Plans being studied are under
stood to involve working out some
way of using German power in a
unified European defense force
as a part of an overall command
rather than as a separate Ger
man army. Such an idea is con-
sidered the only practical solution

Administration Like
Man Who Feels, but
LacksBrains, Taft Says
Ohioun Attacks Truman,
Charging Firm Policy
Is Needed for Nation
BY the Associated Press

Senator Taft, Republican. OF
Ohio declared today the Truman
administration is like a man who
can feel and see "but has no
brain in his head to put together
the various sensations and de-
velop a consistent course of ac-
ton"
This country" he said. "is
badly in need of an administration
with clear principles on foreign
policy, military policy, economic
policy and some ability to direct
a practical, common-sense pro-
gram in accordance with fixed
principles"
Senator Taft, the Senate Repub-
lican policy chieftain, suggested in
his weekly newspaper column to
newspapers in Ohio, where he is
seeking reelection. that only Re-
publican Congress could provide
some kind of consistent action
from an administration divided
within ITSELF"
Follows Knowland Blast.
His attack followed up a fresh
volley of criticism leveled at the
administration by another Re-
publican, Senator Knowland of
California.
Senator Knowland, taking the
Senate floor late yesterday to blast
Far Eastern policy again, said that
Chinese Communists five years ago
had cold bloodedly shot to death
an unarmed American Army
officer.
He named the officer as Capt.
John M. Birch of Macon, Ga,
and said Capt. Birch was killed
by Chinese Reds while on a North
China mission to observe the sur
render Of Japanese forces follow
ing vi Day.
The California lawmaker said
the Staying was witnessed by a
Chinese officer who had accom-
panied Capt. Birch to a Chinese
Communist outpost where the
shooting occurred. The eye-wit-
ness account, he added, now is
held by the Army in a confidential
file.
"The disarmed American cap
tain was shot first through the
leg and then killed with the Sec
ond shot," Senator Knowland re-
lated. His body was thrown into
a ditch.
Chinese Officer Rescued.
His Chinese companion was
shot and he was thrown into the
ditch on top of the American
captain and was left for dead"
The Chinese officer, Senator
Knowland continued, was later
rescued by friendly Chinese far
mers and was escorted back to an
American unit.
Senator Knowland suggested
that if Congress had known
earlier of the incident it would
have had a major bearing on
Far Eastern policy.
He went on to declare that
the State Department now is
laying the groundwork for the
"appeasement" of Communist
China by permitting the Reds to
be seated in the United Nations.
The State Departments position
has been that it will neither vote
for nor veto a motion to seat the
Chinese Reds.
Senator Taft said the Korean
fighting had made "crystal clear"
conflicts within the administra-
ton, and that those over foreign
policy were the most obvious.
Senator Taft said Gen. Mac
Arthur, United States supreme
commander in the Far East, had
