Of this amount, as the Go-Between

Were it not for the pull in years

be that he wouldn't last more than
three or four rounds against the

From what I read in the papers
I gather that most of the authori-

be rather dismal affair, tedious

I don't agree. I have been look

When he was youngster, in his

AS I get it from the boys in

Soviet Hopes to Get Off Korean Hook

and deduced that it was not far
off and would come at the U. N.
Assembly when, at the very. out
set, Andrei A. Vishinsky. Soviet
Foreign Minister, and his asso-
ciates adopted studied concilia-
tory attitude which Immediately
aroused suspicious.
Acheson's Bold Proposal.
We were prepared for it. Sec
retary of State Acheson seized
the first opportunity to present to
the Assembly his bold proposal
that it clothe itself with author
ity to act promptly to check any
future aggression, with an inter-
national army of its own, and
thus circumvent and replace the
u. N. Security Council which
again is impeded by the Russian
veto.
Coupled with this were his bris-
tling indictment of the new Rus
sian imperialism" and his brusque
challenge to the Soviet. All this
was designed to rally the free
nations of the world-before the
world in the Asembly-and call
Russia to account. This obviously
1t has done, coming as it has on
top of our prompt utilization of
the U. N. at the start to check
North Korean aggression, the
greatly stepped-up arms program
for ourselves and our allies, and
now the bad news for Russia from
Korea.
After thus seeking to bolster the
free nations. Secretary of State
Acheson now is seeking to enlist
them to counter in the U. N. As
sembly Russia's attempt to wash
out her North Korean adventure
with a quick peaceful" settlement
that would settle nothing.
The future Of Korea is to be a
U. N. decision. President Truman
has adopted that attitude, and
wisely. Our aim now is to see
that Russia does not blithely get
off the hook. with most of South
Korea In wreck and ruin, by re-
storing the status quo. but that
Korea be unified and independent.
Whether this will mean that U. N.
armies eventually will cross the
38th parallel to take control of
North Korea seemingly Is not de-
cided, but that is being urged.
The U. MS task is not easy or
simple. Peace" however arrived
at, carries a magic appeal. and
Russia is playing that harmony on
all strings. Furthermore, we must
necessarily proceed with delicacy
because of Russia's influence in
the Orient and the tensions she
promotes.
It is fortunate that we have
projected this whole drama that
so affects all of us into the open
in the U. N. Assembly.

Gestures Too Patent.
Too pat and patent have been
Russia's gestures, as, for example,
the way Mr.. Malik grabbed at the
first straw offered. This was the
visit of delegation from the
Maryland Committee for Peace
with its tailor made QUESTIONABLE.
In prompt and easy yes" replies
to this QUESTIONABLE, Mr.. Malik
came out blandly for a top level
meeting between United States
and Russian officials for broad
scale negotiations on all differ
ences and offered a pledge that
Russia would not use the atom
bomb first. Then he personally
telephoned the Associated Press to
tell that far-f1ung news agency all
about it, an unprecedented action.
For hitherto it has been almost
impossible to get any Russian off,
cial to comment even on the time
Of day or the state of the weather.
Since Mr.. Malik went through
his act before the U. N. Security
Council in August when he was
its presiding officer things have
happened, and happened quickly,

North Korean army and crush it

that Mr.. Malik's peace" stunt

a few hours before the capture
of Seoul was announced formally
by Gen. Macarthur.

CONGRATULATIONS. When the smoke
of battle clears. the magnitude OF
the strategic concept and execu-
ton of the pincers movement
planned by Gen. Macarthur IN
the early stages Of the campaign
will be appreciated.
The enveloping strategy Is not
new. But the movement in Korea
was daring because Of the numeri-
cal inferiority of the forces in
volved and the danger Of inter-
vention by not less than % fully
equipped Chinese Red divisions
whose presence had been definitely
identified on the Manchurian-
North Korean border. Gen. Mac
Arthur relied on the Air Force to
prevent these forces from joining
the battle.
Political Repercussions.
The victory in Korea has even
greater political repercussions
than the military result itself. 1t
has pulled the rug out from under
the men in the Kremlin, who were
taken completely by surprise and
still have not decided what to do
in other areas of the world where
new korean incidents" were being
planned.
Insofar as Gen. Macarthur him
self is concerned, the overwhelm-
ing success Of his gamble means a
good deal. There was strong
current in high quarters in Wash
ington-not the Pentagon, how
ever-to replace him as effective
commander of the field forces
with a younger man. The name
of Gen. Van Fleet was most prom
inently mentioned until two weeks
ago.
Gen. Van Fleet had a distin-
guished career in Greece, where he
directed the Greek governemnt's
campaign against the Communist
guerrillas. Those who advocated
the replacement of Gen. MacAr-
thur said that the Korean war
was in many respects guerrilla
campaign and Gen. Van Fleet
had gained enough experience to
be as successful as he had been
in Greece.
There was no question of re-
moving Gen. Macarthur from his
post of Supreme Allied Com
in Japan and commander
in-chief of the United Nations
forces in Korea. But he would, in

fact, have become merely a top
administrative officer with head
quarters in Tokyo. while actual
command of the fighting men
would have gone to a younger
man.
Those who urged this change
said that while nobody doubted
the military qualities Of Gen. Mac
Arthur, the fact was that he had
become too old, that his refexes
were those of an elderly gentle
man at a time when the fighting
men had to have at their head a
more agile leader.
1t was an open secret in Wash
ington that Gen. Macarthur was
not exactly a favorite of the ad-
ministration. Soon after assuming
the responsibilities as supreme
commander in Japan he entered
into a number of controversies
with the State Department. He
rarely agreed with the Far Eastern
policies of that organization.
Breach Became Wider.
This breach became much wider
after the Korean invasion. Gen.
MacArthur's visit to Formosa
irked the State Department and
his message to the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars convention in Chi
cago annoyed our diplomats. Pres
ldent Truman rebuked Gen. Mac
Arthur officially.
Official gossip -mongers regarded
his actions as politics-and Re-
publican politics at that. When
both these incidents occurred
conditions in Korea were bad for
our forces and Mr.. Truman was
urged to replace the old war
horse with younger. non-political
leader.
Some newspaper columnists and
radio broadcasters, who generally
are known to be the pacesetters
for the administration. started
their softening process by telling
the public that Gen. Macarthur
had been derelict in his duties.
They told stories about the lack
of preparedness Of our forces in
the Pacific. They mentioned the
soft life" of the officers, who were
principally concerned with their
own comforts than with harden
ing the occupation divisions for
battle.
Gen. Macarthur had conceived
the pincers operation early in the
campaign. He did not have the
required number of troops and is
to have been in favor Of
bringing the three divisions of
Chinese Nationalists-offered by
Chang Kai-shek on June 90
into action. At that time the Chi
nese Communists had not yet con-
centrated on the Yalu River.
The opposition of the State De-
partment, which believed that
participation of the Nationalists
in the Korean campaign would
force the Communists into the
war, was in all probability justi-
fed.
The pincers operation was de-
layed until new forces from the
United States and Gen. MacAr-

The search for the best that
can be said of "Backflre"-nevel
say less than the best is the motto
around here-turns UP a some
what odd distinction. The new
Metropolitan screen attraction is
the first picture in long time
maybe the only one you ever saw
which opens with the hero recov-
ering from a broken back and
closes with the hero's buddy re-
covering from a broken back he
has enjoyed off stage throughout
most of the action. This, you must
admit. has a certain originality
as occupational diseases go.
"Backfre" actually is a toler-
able melodrama and it surely is
not the least plausible offering of
the year, though it may receive
some scattered nominations for
the honor. It's about this man
fresh out of a veterans hospital
(Gordon MacRae). His doctor
tells him not to do anything more
strenuous than pushing a pencil
for at least year. A police cap
tain tells him playing and
robbers is a kids game and he'd
better stay out of trouble.
So, with the occasional aid of
a pretty nurse impersonated by
