since the outbreak of the Korean
wal. The French are believed to
have no objection any longer to
the creation of German contin-
gent of about 100000 men fully
equipped and under the overall
command of any Allied officer, as
will be the case with all Atlantic
pact nations if a general war oc-
ours.
Frances political men, who have
to take public opinion into ac-
count, unofflcially have suggested
a scheme to organize a Western
European army wherein the COM
ponent parts would lose ''for the
duration" their character as ma
tional armies. This was the case
during the coalitions in the Ma.
poleonic wars, when British, Aus
trian, German and Russian troop:
fought side by side and theil
units were at the disposal of who
ever was commander in chief.
Whether we still have the time
to create such an organization de-
pends on what the Kremlin'
timetable is. But insofar as this
country is concerned, and con-
sidering the widespread commit
ments we have undertaken from
the Pacific to the Mediterranean

obligations on the Korean ques-
ton which the General Assembly
and the Interim Committee had
laid upon U. N. members up to
the time of the Communist at
tack on South Korea this past
June.
That attack led to Security
Council action which created still
further obligations on members to
help establish a free and unified
Korea.
Argument Challenged
On June as. the Security Coun-
Gil determined" that the North
Korean attack constituted a
breach of the peace, called for
the immediate cessation of hos
tilities and the withdrawal forth
with" of the Communist forces
o the sSth parallel.
This first Security Council res
olution would appear to have left
open the possibility of the status
quo and the maintenance of the
pre-invasion border. The Com
munists ignored the resolution
however, and pressed forward with
their attack, and the Security
Counhil thereupon passed secone
Evening star., 1950-08-27

resolution which, it is argued
here, supersedes the first one.
On June 27 the Council noted
that the North Koreans had de-
fed its resolution of two days
before. It then went on to rec
ommend that "the members of
the United Nations furnish such
assistance to the Republic of Ko-
rea as may be necessary to repel
the armed attack and to restore
international peace and security
in the area"
This second resolution rules out
the possibility Of any solution
based on the status quo and the
maintenance of the invasion
border, officials here argue.
There seems to be a large meas
ure of agreement among policy
makers in Washington that this
legal-moral argument is sound,
although it is challenged in some
quarters.
Some officials here say that the
U. N. may possibly be entitled
to take over all Korea. but it is
under no obligation to do so,
and least of all is it clear that
the U. N. would be legally justified
in using force to go north Of the
38th parallel.

Russia, because Russia is much
stronger as a fighting nation now
than when she stopped Germany
Should we decide to go ahead
and force the thing to a finish on
our own schedule rather than
that of the enemy. we would be
involved in a colossal undertaking
by sea, land and air. First there
would be the huge major assault

Possible Strategy ~
Almost as strong in their COM
bined numbers as the great as
sault force would be two. far
away menacing forces poised for a
strike. if events justified it, from
Japan and the Philippines and,
on the other side Of the world,
from Great Britain andlor Spain
We would also probably try to
keep the Mediterranean open so as
to supply the main attack force
through the shorter route of the
Red Sea. A strong but minor
force might be thrust toward the
Bosporous, perhaps taking the
Rumanian Oil fields and moving
in to join the main force as it
smashed forward toward the
Volga basin. Tied up with such a
campaign on a totally global
scale would, of course, be some high
bombing by way of the North Pole,
and the question of the A-bomb
This new strategic center, the
Middle East, is really the odd
world in a sense applicable to no
other part of the globe.
All because of oil which has lain
unsought beneath their territory

World Literacy Follows Communications Pattern
Most IlIiterutes
Are Found Where
Facilities Poorest
By Saul PETIT

Mass communications and lit
eracy are first cousins around
the world.
Illiteracy. almost invariably,
is greatest where there is the
least proportionate number of
newspapers, radio receiving sets
and movie houses. according to
a study released by the United
Nations Education, Scientific
and Cultural Organization.
The highest rate Of illiteracy
occurs in areas like Africa, the
Near East, Southern Asia and a
central, interior portion of
South America. In such areas
at least 81 per cent of the popu-
lation doesn't know how to read
or write.
Breakdown Shown
In Russia, the Balkans, Italy,
Spain, the bulk of South
America. Central America and a
small portion of South Central
United States. illiteracy ranges
from II to 80 per cent. The
lowest illiteracy rate, from zero
to 10 per cent, occurs in the bulk
of the United States, Canada,
England, Central and Northern
Europe. Australia an New zea-
land.
And now here's how the world
supply of communication facili-
ties is distributed:
North America, with 210,908.-
900 population, has a daily
newspaper circulation of $685.
750 copies, 87,197, ,534 radio sets.
and 100000 movie house
seats.
South America, with los, 1885,
900 people. has a daily news
paper circulation of 1902, 500,
$685. 800 radios and 3,519,000
movie seats.
Africa, with 193,359.0OO peo-
pie, has a daily newspaper cir
culation of 1,920,650, 927,266
radios, and 877 $50 movie seats.
Asia, with 1,247,731, 900 peo-
pie, has a daily newspaper cir
culation of 27.423.400, 10,412,643

Kalorama, now known as Wash
ington Heights, is one of the most
beautiful sections of the city, and
many a grandfather and grand
mother recall attending summer
time Sunday school picnics in
Kalorama woods. A reference here
to the enormous cans of ice
cream, the high rope swings and
the large omnibusses which con-
veyed them to the grounds will
undoubtedly bring smiles to many
as they reflect upon those good
old days.
At a very early date, Kalorama
belonged to Anthony Holmead,
one of the original proprietors of
land selected for the Federal Cap
ital. He erected the original house
on a commanding eminence and
called it Rock Hill.
It was a tract called Widows
Mite, and as such was granted in
1864 to John Langworth. 1t then
contained some 600 acres. Later
the name was changed to Belair,
but considering the number of
places then bearing that name,
it was eventually decided to call
it Kalorama.
Back in the early days, Arling-
ton Spring was the leading picnic
ground. Among other favorite
spots, especially for schools and
churches. were Bumford's woods,

The writer recalls the Sunday
school picnics. Omnibusses took
us to the B. & o. Station, and the
train went via the Metropolitan

for its hills and valleys, forest and

more potent of it's smaller foes.
BY contrast. Hitler never had more
than about 1913 of the earth's
surface and about 1/9 of its popu-
lation under his grasp. Above all
he never had even Russia's oil,
plus access to that of the Near
East.
1t is now agreed that when
Hitler declared war on America
he thought Russia was beaten and
that he could grab her oil lands
and rush into the Iranian plateau,
richest oil area in the world out
side the Americas. He guessed
wrong and also encountered in
Russia in 1941 one of the worst
winters of her history. Thus
Hitler, who mastered Europe by
blitz tactics, lost it when forced
to stand on the defensive and
allow others to blitz Germany
For the blitz is simply super
mobility in warfare. and mobility
now means oil.
Source of fabrication
That oil is the real queen of the
battlefield becomes clearer wher
actual statistics are used. Ir
World War I. for instance, the
American Army used only 165, 5,00C
tons of petroleum products. 1t re-
mained begged down almost to the
last, and even when victorious
moved forward at foot soldier
pace. In World War II that army
consumed 7,108,718 tons of petro.
leum products in the ETO alone
up to v day, but it struck like
lightning by land and air. The
German Army used an estimated
100000 tons up to Pearl Harbor
but had only about 100000 tons
thereafter, though operating or
two long and widely separated
fronts. It's tanks and planes were
always severely handicapped BY
lack of fuel. A small part of Ger
many's fuel, by the way, came
from squeezed Ignite and was
called Leuna, after its center oil
manufacture.
Russia had about 4 900 900 fight.
ing tons of fuel. Cali these figures
exclude petroleum products fol-
civilian and industrial purposes
although they generally had Sec
ondarily military Importance. }
RusSia's combat petroleum came
from three sources, namely, hel
own production, the Near East
and shipments from America. Hel
own production accounted fol
about 65 per cent of this. Ever
with outside aid she was never
able to mount a real blitz war. but
simply tore the Germans to pieces
in ground fighting by lavish pour
ing in of manpower.
In another world war it is prob
able that petroleum consumption
would be much heavier than ir

the past. RuSSia'S military petro-
leum needs probably would run
to II or Is million tons, even for
a short war. In 1886 Russia used
for peacetime, non-military pur-
poses % millions tons, of which
she produced 18 and bought four
from the Near East. Today at
least 40 million tons per year are
needed for the iron curtain ma
tions and probably a minimum of
Is to 90 million combat tons.
Where can it be had? Russia S
maximum output seems to be
about Is million tons annually and
that Of Rumania, the only other
oil producer behind the barrier
with important output, yields only
about S million. The balance
comes from the Near East, and
will continue to come from there
unless the West is strong enough
and determined enough to block
the way by swift action.
With access to the Near East
communism could make war al
most indefinitely. Without it ii
cannot sustain a maximum speed
all-out war for more than a short
time.
! This is the line of thinking
which prevails in some high mill
tary circles. From it springs the
advocacy of powerful blow at
communism's fighting heart, the
oil district around Baku on the
west bank of the Caspian Sea
Such blow would be by way OF
the Arabian Sea and the Persian
Gulf. Such an approach would also
cover the oil fields of the Near
East. leaving only the inadequate
Rumanian area, which would not
then be far away, as distances are
now reckoned.
All of which is quite easy on
paper. In reality it would take
a deal of doing" if done. And
Russia may get there first, pushing
the Communist frontier out an
other thousand miles to the tip
of the Arabian peninsula.
A hard blow of this type at the
heart of communism would come
within the category of a "preven-
tive" or a short" war. It would
almost have to be a short war for
| it would have to be carried out on
a gigantic scale to succeed, so
gigantic a scale that it could not
be sustained indefinitely. Never
thelesS, it would be a war in the
So-called democratic tradition
that is, one waged with a maxi
mum outlay OF material in order
to insure minimum cost in lives.
Assuming that manpower were
available and willing for a ham,
mer-and-t -tongs frontal attack on
Russia across the German plains,
it would probably cost far less in
money to go at her that way. In

lof the Forest Glen Improvement
Co, when there were only q few
homes in this neighborhood,
mostly occupied by farmers. The
old Catholic Church, st. John the
Evangelist was even then historic,
or at least the ground upon which
it stood. Here stood Rock Creek
Mission, the forerunner of st.
Johns, which is frequently called
Nancy Carroll Chapel.
This modest frame structure
probably formed a part of the
Carroll homestead, and is said to
have been built in 1774 by Father
John Carroll, who later became
Archbishop of Baltimore. This

outstanding characters.

now known as the Macarthur
boulevard.
Canal boats then were not all
operated by mule power, some be-
ing driven by steam. On one Of
the latter type the writer made
his voyage to Dickey's and to the
surrounding country for a day
of recreation.
The custom of making excur-
sions up the canal evidently began
at an early date for we find re-
corded in the National Intelli-
gencer that line of passenger
boats began running as far back
as 1881. A special event, heralded
by the Metropolitan as being of
much Importance, occurred on
July 4, 1885. when President Jack
son and his cabinet, the foreign
minister, and about so invited
guests, took an outing in a canal
boat-described as an "all-day
trip"-up to 6 miles above Great
Falls.
/ The first spadeful of earth for
the canal was dug July 4, 1928 by
President John Quincy Adams.
1t is said that by July 4. 1881. the
water was let in from the first

Although it's suburban area is
gaining new residents over the
city at a rate of two to one,
Chicago officials see no problem.
THE outflow of people has been
more than offset by people coming
in." says William Fort, admins
trative assistant to Mayor Martin
Kennedy.
Washingtons suburbs in 10
years have grown six times as
fast as the city itself. Result:
Headaching traffic congestion in
the city where thousands of sub
urbanites ride to and from work
in autos and buses. To try to
meet this crisis. Washington has
staggered work hours of Govern
ment employees. thus spreading the
morning and evening traffic loads.
lOut of the city already are the
National Health Institute, the
Census Bureau, Agricultural Re-
search Center, the Pentagon and
other military and defense
agencies.
Detroit's Attitude
Mayor Albert E. Cobo of Detroit,
while admitting that the suburban
boom has created problems for
his city. says, ut is healthy sign
rather than otherwise. 1t is natu-
raj for people to seek more elbow
room and fresher air and to wish
to- get away from congested areas.
A normal movement in that direc-
ton is only to be expected"
AS elsewhere, Detroit's main
headache is transportation. Says
Mayor Cobo: I'VE have already
spent millions in street widening
and are embarking aggressively
on the eXpressway program which
Will tend to alleviate traffic con-
gestion in large degree"
Some city officials frankly ques-
toned whether their governments
could do anything to stop the
wholesale move to the outskirts.
In the Los Angeles area, the
suburban population has almost
doubled in 10 years. THE time
is coming when a new form of
government will have to be de-
veloped," says the city'S Mayor
Fletcher Bowron.
In my opinion we're coming
to a government for metropolitan
areas to pull together the whole
thing so that it will be cohesive
and integrated."
Something like that is being
considered around Cleveland. In
November voters in 20 cities, IS
villages and 5 townships in Great
er Cleveland will decide on a |
proposal to set up a county form
of government which would CO.
ordinate water and sewers, well
fare and transportation What is
going on in Cleveland suggests |
one hurdle plan of this type |
has to overcome, however. -
City politicians feel that their
preserves are being invaded. DEM
ocratic Mayor Thomas A. Burke
of Cleveland and Democratic Boss
Ray T. Miller are fighting the
plan on grounds that it would
make the county administrator a
political cZar" They prefer to
have the city absorb the rest of
the county.
