Senator Russell of Georgia, per-

South look to a conservative party
of rebellious Democrats and con-
servatives. This does not at all
horrify Midwest Republicans as
the history of civil rights legisla-

ers are not sufficient to meet a
Soviet submarine threat. The
British light cruiser had to return
for repairs, after being damaged
slightly by Korean shore batter
les. The few corvettes placed at
Gen. MacArthur's disposal are not
sufficient for major emergency.
The trouble is that the bulk of
our powerful fleet is in mothballs.
It is true that they can be taken
out of reserve. but that would re-
quire a substantial increase in the
personnel of our shore establish
ments. The economy minded ci-
villains in the Pentagon who
looked at the world situation with
such optimism did not foresee the
possibility of imminent conflict.
Budget Cut Drastically.
The Navy's budget, like that of
the Army and Air Force, was
drastically cut last year. In order
to keep a minimum of ships in
commission within the framework
of the budget. shore establish
|meptS were drastically reduced,
Navy yards cannot do a hurry
up job Of reactivating ships now
in mothballs without an increase
in their manpower. And there is
no indication that such action will
be taken Immediately. Nor Is it
possible to man the ships unless
all available naval reserves are
called up.
It takes at least 8 months to
train the youngsters who now are
enlisting or who are being drafted.
In the Army. Navy and Air Force
we need men who had fighting
experience and after the war
agreed to stay in the reserves.
The optimistic view that we
may be able to hold a beachhead
in Southern Korea is predicated
on the number of ground and air
force units we are sending to the
Pacific. A Marine division already
has embarked and is expected to
reach its destination within the
next 20 days. The Second In
fantry Division on the West Coast
also has been alerted and is not
expected to arrive in Japan until
sometime in August.
1t may be that Gen. Macarthur
will take a chance and send to
Korea one of the remaining three
divisions he has in Japan, until
the Second Division has been sup
piled for a heavy campaign and
is embarked. 1t is on this assump-
ton that the optimists believe
that we may avoid a Dunkirk and
hold the beachhead.

President In 1948.
The administrations choice Of
two evils. the re-nominated Sena-
tor Olin D. Johnston, We'd with
Gov. Thurmond in attacking Pres
ident Truman and civil rights.
But like the Alabama Senator's
who whipped that States Dixie
Gratis, the Senator pleaded that
the fight should be made within
the party.
Byrnes Discounted.
James F. Byrnes' election as
Governor had been discounted and
no fear exists that he will menace
the party nationally. 1t is be-
lieved that a former Secretary Of
State will be reluctant to join in
internecine warfare with the
world in its present crisis. Even
more reliance is placed upon his
nature and old habits of operation.
In the many years the prospec-
tive Governor, who is now II. was
building a great career in House,
Senate. Supreme Court and the
executive branch. he never grab
bed the flag and ran up San Juan
hill with it. The Byrnes talents
were for compromise and political
arrangements which gave every
body something of what they we're
after. A gay and friendly man.
Mr.. Byrnes served the successful
admirably; he did not initiate
affairs Of great moment.
He became Secretary of State
in an era when it was hoped pro-
foundly that his precise gifts
would serve the central problem
of United States-Soviet relations.
Mr.. Byrnes has recorded his frus-
trations when they did not; his
health suffered and he soon there
after resigned.
Able to Do Business.
The administration has always
been able to do business with
Senator Johnston and expects to
again. With cynical expediency
the National Committee was help
ing him even while he poured out
venom against the President. It
also kept the small, select COM
pany Of Truman Democrats in
South Carolina from putting a
third man in the race for fear it
would help Gov. Thurmond. For
their reward, this group will prob
ably disappear from the scene.

On the Other Hand
Knowland's Notion of National
Unity Contains Certain Flaws

President would be likely to sur
render, even though Senator
Knowland were supported in it by
a considerable number Of his COL
leagues, which is scarcely to be
expected.
The Senator made his political
motivation clear enough when in
the same breath he demanded that
the President refrain from assist
ing in "the partisan campaigns of
members Of his own political party
in the Congressional elections this
year" -
This sort of nonpartisanship is
nonsense. The President has a
duty this fall to assert his own
views with all the vigor of which
he is capable. The same goes for
the Senator, in or out of the
Senate chamber. Nothing is re-
quired of either except that they
be honest and that they take
care to say or do nothing calcu-
lated to give aid or comfort to
the enemy.

are that we had better prepare to
evacuate our troops from Korea
and withdraw them to Japan. The
struggle is far too unequal. At
this time, when their reserves
have not yet been engaged, the
Reds have a 10-to-1 superiority.
Moreover, while we have Sherman
tanks and anti-tank weapons cap
able of piercing light armor, the
Korean Reds have been provided
with the latest weapons. including
the formidable Cotton land cruis-
err" new Russian tank which we
believed existed only in very few
numbers.
Naval Force Inadequate.
The American naval force in
the Far East equally is inadequate.
This has been shown in operations
during the last Is days. The car
rier Valley Forge has done excel
lent work. But it can operate
for only two or three days at a
time. 1t must return to its base
at Okinawa after number of
sorties to refuel, repair damage to
it's planes and take on board fresh
supplies. This means round trip
of about 1000 miles. during which
time there are no carrier-based
operations.
The Pacific feet was strength
ened before the outbreak of the
Korean trouble through the FORE

Chief Of Naval Operations. All
the same, that feet is small, par
ticularly in view of the fact that

The Senator didn't say anything
about the ousting. to be sure. He
merely said that national unity
could be established "by inviting
Republicans, having the confidence
of that party. into the Cabinet" 4"
1t probably didn't occur to him
that some Of the present members
of the Presidents official family
would have to be thrown out in
order to make the necessary room.
Indeed, number of things didn't
occur to him.
Where Could He Turn?
For example, the President
would hardly know where to turn
to find Republicans having the
confidence of that party" The
titular leader of the party is
Gov. Dewey. Would the selec-
ton of the Governor or someone
of the Governors choosing in
spire the required confidence? Ask
Senator Taft or ask any of that
large contingent of Republican
leaders who are still complaining
of Gov. Dewey's me-tooisn. They
wouldn't want me-too man in
the Cabinet. even though that is
regarded as natural characteris-
tic of a cabinet member.
Well, then, could Senator Taft
pick the new members for the
President, or Taft and his lieu
tenants. Senators Wherry and Mil
likin? Ask Gov. Dewey and Gov.
Duff and all of the others now
openly demanding a new type of
Republicanism. Senator Taft, of
course, knows where he would be-
gin ousting. It would be with Sec
retary Acheson. How much ma
tional unity that would produce is
another question. The country has
come to think pretty highly of Mr..
Acheson, despite the sniping of
the diehards on The Hill.
Could we leave it to Senator
Knowland himself? The same
afternoon that he presented his
brain-child to the Senate, the
Senator dutifully followed the in
credible Mr.. Hickenlooper and
voted against the confirmation of
Sumner Pike as a member of the
Atomic Energy Commission. Mr..
Pike is a Republican, vouched for
by the voices of the two Republi-
can Senators from his home State
Of Maine and the votes of II Re-
publicans in all. Some of the II
might have doubts concerning any
one Senator Knowland selects.

Roosevelt's action in naming two

numerical control of Congress by
the thinnest of margins today, stun
ned and battered by Republican ell

Bowling over top Administration

up in the upcoming 82nd Congress to
AZ, as against the Democrats 40.
With IL House contests still to be
decided, the Republicans had gained
"a places to raise their total to 1876.
The Democrats held 227, or nine
