Nine unsung prophets three
years ago gave the Government a
remarkably accurate picture of the
type of war in which the United
States is now engaged.
What they wrote into an official
report May 90, 1s47, sounds like a
history of how this country be-
came involved in the war with the
Communists in Korea:
I'VE might become involved ID
a war through the aggressive tac4
tics of some nation against its
neighbors, in a distant part of the
world, which we and the United
Nations could not countenance

international conscience would not
permit us to stand passive while
the rights and liberties of others
were transgressed. Such involve
ment might come at any time.

Attempt 70 Turn Blasts
OF Critics on Acheson
Laid 10 Johnson
By Jay G. Hoyden

If Secretary of Defense johnson
Is slated for the ak, as is insist
emily reported, it will not be on
the grounds of ineficiency and
false economy, the charges chiefly
raised against him by his host of
official and official critics.
The economy complaint did Mr..
Johnson more good than harm in
the eyes of President Truman, be-
cause the economy policy actually
was the Presidents own.
What has put Mr.. Johnson on
the skids is evidence reaching the
President, too circumstantially es-
tabliShed for him to disbelieve,
that Mr.. johnson has tried to save
himself by shifting the fire to
his fellow, cabinet member, Secre-
tary of State Acheson.
VT. w. Maneuver Cited.
Specifically, the President Is
said to be convinced that Mr..
Johnson's lobbyists, failing last
week to prevent the convention of
Veterans of Foreign Wars from
demanding removal of their chief,
maneuvered to put Mr.. Acheson in
the same boat.
AS reported by VFW delegates
returning to Washington, the con-
vention resolution committee first
demanded removal of Mr.. john
son. but voted down the same
proposal aimed at Mr.. Acheson.
Informed of this development,
the half-dozen Defense Depart
ment lobbyists on the job, headed
by Marx Leva. Assistant Secretary
of Defense, went into action in a
big way. They contended espe-
cially that it was unfair to make
Mr.. johnson the sole goat for pol
icies emanating actually from the
State Department.
Indirect Jab at Acheson.
In the end the convention called
fatty for new and competent
leadership in the Department of
Defense" and aimed a companion
jab against Secretary Acheson,
but not so directly.
Condemning policy of our De-
partment of State, which is en-
dangering the very existence of
our beloved country" the VFW
resolution called for immediate
discharge of those whose ig-
norance, misfeasance and nom
feasance have resulted in the fail
ure in the field of diplomatic re-
1ations."
State Department wire-pullers
returning from the convention
were able to contend to Secre-
tary Acheson that the latter blast
was softened at their behest to
avoid condemnation of him per-
sonally, while the demand that
Mr.. johnson be fired was un-
mistakable.
Another charge now being
pressed upon Mr.. Truman in the
attempt to get Mr.. johnson fired
is that he has played "footsie"
with both Gen. Macarthur and
Republicans in ways detrimental
TO the administration.
MIR. johnson many months ago
was reported as in agreement with
Gen. Macarthur that Formosa
should be kept out of Communist
hands at all cost, contrariwise to
the Truman-Acheson view that
Formosa was Chinese territory, as
to which the United States had
no right to intervene.
