mentS in their proper perspective
it is necessary to give great but
not undue weight to the geograph-
ical and logistical demands that
automatically accompanied our
decision to assist in the defense
of South Korea. Boiled down, the
requirement was that we were
forced to launch a movement Of
fensive in its basic character in
order to undertake defensive &C
ton. We were, in other words,
called on to move men and equip
ment across water. and finally
several thousands of miles of it,
in order to fight.
Forces Only for Defense.
Whether the Russians believe
it or not, the United States has
not been planning or preparing
for war of aggression. Our forces
in Japan. in Okinawa. in Trieste,
in Western Germany and in con-
tinental United States have been
held in being during these past
five years only for purposes of
defense. We had no troops in
South Korea when aggression was
launched by an enemy and we
had even determined the area
was beyond our zone of defen-
sive responsibility. Circumstances
brought a reversal of that deter
mination and with the reversal
a requirement that we strike out
beyond our prepared positions.
The manner and speed with
which this requirement has been
met may we'll be considered proof
of readiness and competence
rather than of woeful unprepar-
edness. The fact that nearly
everything was in short supply
battle trained troops, tactical air,
shipping and naval strength
serves only to emphasize the
courage and the skill with which

Indictment of U. S. Policy.
But nothing in his testimony
was complimentary either to the
President or to the Secretary OF
State. Indeed it was an indictment
of U. S. policy. In addition. with
a Tass reporter happily taking 1t
all down, he furnished a reason
able facsimile of hulking Wall
Street millionaire thirsting for
war and Russian blood.
The Democrats almost died.
Quick to sense danger, Senator
johnson of Texas, got it on the
record that the Pauley views were
his own and had not been cleared
by any Government agency. The
Senator also lnveighed against

But Mr.. Pauley ploughed on.
The happy Republicans want
him back and will get him in ex-
ecutive session next week, that is
if some Democrat does not put
arsenic in his coffee.
In fact the Democrats would
gladly forget the whole affair If
allowed, which is unlikely
Frankly, they can't make any
sense out of the business.
True. Mr.. Pauley has a press
agent but he doesn't need busi-
ness advertising. A fair guess is
that he is suffering from a deep
need for public vindication.
He was denied confirmation as
Navy Undersecretary in very
harsh hearings by a Senate COM
mittee. 1t was apparent then that
he simply did not see the ethical
case of those who agreed with
Harold L. Ickes that government
favors must not be traded for
political contributions. Not for
him the role of a hypocrite paying
vices tribute to virtue. He clearly
thought he was the victim of
jealous politicians. who would do
what he did If they had the nerve
and brains.
He sees himself as an impor-
tant man who helped elect a Pres
ident and served him well in the
reparations job. He
fully what he did and
saw in that job: events have con-
vinced him that his diagnosis was
good. He may well have thought
that a public demonstration of
his foresight would serve to rub
off some of the tar Of those earlier
hearings.
One thing Harry Truman has
surely learned again-the power
of four magic words. ''The White
House calling" His problem is
as always to keep them from being

been established and built up or
a far-off field of combat which
was chosen not by us but by ar
enemy. Factors of unfavorable
weather and terrain, inadequate
ports, airfields. railroads ano
highways favored this enemy and
worked to our own disadvantage
Initial troop elements were
moved from Japan, a water cross
ing exceeding 100 miles to Pusar
and $50 miles from Seoul. Initial
air strikes for tactical planes were
launched from Japan and fol
strategic planes pressed into tao
tical service from Okinawa. From
Hawaii and the West Coast the
long pipe lines began to fill with
ships, men and materiel.
Requirements Of Operation.
Few outside of students of mill
tary logistics realize the require
ments of such an operation.
A fighting American in Korea is
not merely a youth with a gun
and belt full of ammunition. He
is a man who needs an average of
seven tons of equipment of amaz-
ing variety to provide him an
even chance to be an effective
soldier for 80 days. For each 80
days thereafter he needs an addi-
tional ton of armor, ammunition,
food, housing. medical supplies
and so on to sustain him in COM
bat.
Even with the tremendous de-
velopment we have had in ali
transport, most of this tonnage
on any continuing basis must be
moved by ship. From Seattle, our
closest West Coast point, to Pusan
means anything from IA to 20
days. Under best conditions. load
ing and unloading a cargo ship re-
quires seven or eight days.
Ali of these and more demand
ing requirements have been met
in building up our position in
Korea-even in the southeast cor
ner.
And no tribute to. or evaluati, i
of. this operation could be complete
without unreserved commendation
of the men who have translated it
all into fighting strength on the
field. American fighting men do
not tend easily toward learning
the skills of delay, withdrawal
and retreat. They have learned
these the hard way in Korea, as
they have on other earlier battle
grounds. But they have learned
them and applied them in these
past five weeks to a degree where
our losses in manpower have been
light, our front has never been
ripped clearly apart and our solid
corner is not only still there but
stronger than ever.

have passed on the suggestion to
Chairman Tydings of the Senate
Armed Services Committee as
tantamount to a White House
command.
Mystery Build Up.
Otherwise. that high ranking
Senate Democrat would not have
staged his mystery witness build
up. only to produce Mr.. Pauley
in the role of a critic of admin
istration policy.
This and other details come
from informed participants in
what irate Democrats are freely
describing as the biggest piece OF
nonsense to hit the caucus room
since press agent put a midget
in J. p. Morgan's lap. Since these
sources were so mistaken about
the nature of Mr.. Pauley's con-
tribution to the war effort, 1t is
possible they are In error about
attributing blame. Anyway they
were thereto their intense re-
gret.
The Presidents statement is de-
scribed as a diplomatic denial. Mr..
Truman said that the request for
public testimony did not come
from the White House. It is sug-
gested that he has been told moth
ing was said about public testi-
mony-though since the mystery
witness was we'll advertised for
two days, the public part could
have been called off by Pauley or
Connolly If Senator Tydings him
self was in error.
These sources add firmly that
by "the White House" the Presi-
dent must mean Harry S. Truman
personally.

Of his current standing that he
was the first fall guy universally
suggested - Defense Secretary
Louis johnson is in the clear on

repeat not. he had no part in it.
Anyway, Senator Tydings, who
is well aware that the American
people are not happy about events
in Korea and could use some con-
vincing explanations, assumed
that President Truman had in
mind a propaganda triumph. After
all, Mr.. Pauley was head of the
American Preparations Commits

tions survey in Korea. The Presi-
dent thinks SO much of him he

Gas Home Heat
Shows Big Gain

The number of Ohio homes
equipped with gas heat increased
by 133,800 during the past year,
a report by the states utility
firms points out.
About 95,527 more homes will
get gas heat in the next year if
heating materials continue to be
available by the end of 1851, the
report continues. This increase of
81. per cent in homes with gas
heating over the two-year period
is the result of the rapid eXpan-
sion of natural gas pipelines on
which SIT, 900 has been spent
in the state since 1916.
Pipeline and storage facilities,
authorized by the Federal Power
Commission in Ohio and adj
! joining states since VI Day, have
/ brought natural gas into Ohio
in such greatly increased volume
that many more thousands of
homes and major industries now
have the advantage of loW-cost
fuel. Many large and small COM
munities have been aided, in
Guiding Cincinnati, Akron, Cleve-
land, Columbus, Dayton and To-
ledo, according to w. Paul Jones,
president of SerVel, Inc, the ma
TONS leading gas equipment and
! appliance manufactures.
This new natural gas con-
struction is part of a nationwide
expansion program, in the course
of which the gas utility indus
try has spent three billion dol
lars since August, 1945. There
now are almost 100000 miles of
pipeline in service in the United
States, delivering energy for
manufacturing and household
uses at an annual rate exceeding
four thousand billion cubic feet.
Because supply still does not
meet demand, the gas utilities
plan still further expansion
through 1854. OF the aproxim-
ately 3,140,0 600, 900 to be spent
in the coming five year period,
about 2 ESQ, 5000 will be used
by the natural gas industry.
