A Calculated Risk

a 'C0lcUloted Risk
Trygve Lie, secretary general Of the
United Nations, is convinced some
thing must happen" this month OF
next if the Security Council Is to
complete anything worthwhile be
fore opening Of the U.N. General As
sembly in September.
That something" in Lies mind is
solution TO the China deadlock
which has brought about a boycott
Of all U.N functions by Soviet Russia
and her satellites.
On his own initiative and against
the advice Of some Of his cabinet, .
Lie set out to work for recognition
Of Chinese Communists In place Of
the FOrmOsa-based remnant Of the
Chinese Nationalist government. Lie
bases this on his own common sense"
and on a legal opinion drawn up by
U.N. lawyers He challenged the
Chang Kai-shek delegates TO take It
20 the Hague Court for a test and re-
portedly is convinced that history
viii prove him right.
Lies personal mission TO the four
major eapitals-Wa Washington, London.
Paris and MoscOw-is another ''calcu-
lated risk" in a diplomatic sense. He
sought by face-to-face talks to bring
about 2 solution Of the China uues-
ton in order to reopen big power dis
cussiOn Of SUCH vital international
problems as atomic controls.
IN Washington, the State Depart
ment is receptive but hardly Optimis-
tie about Lies efforts TO negotiate an
end 70 the cold war. In the words Of
Underseeretary Of State James Webb
what America hopes for from Russia
is not words but action in the inter
estS Of world peace.

New Test

Another chapter IN the ship versus
air power story left unfinished by tho
last war VIII be written soon when
the US. Navy tests one Of its new
superweapOns-the guided missile
against a capital ship.
Nearly so years ago the FIRST test
was set up when the late Brig. Gen.
Billy Mitchell demonstrated q capital
ship could be sunk BY aerial bombs.
That time the target was a battle
ship. This time it win be an aircraft
carrier which has superseded. the
dreadnaught as queen Of the fleet. The
weapon, this time, win be a robot
rocket, either preset OF remotely con.
trolled, flying faster than sound.
Naval experts disputed MitchelpS
views for years after that first test
It took World War II TO bear out his
theories. No such opposition is eN-
pected after this test however. The
deadly effectiveness Of the guided
missile was demonstrated by the NSzl
V-bombs which American scientists
have further perfected
The experiment may alter naval
tactics radically, both by showing how
much damage a powerful rocket can
infiict on a vessel, and BY leading b
possible new detenses against such
weapons.
The exact explosive force Ia The
rocket warhesd is a secret So IS the
precise time and place where the test
win be held.

FOR BETTER MANAGEMENT

1OA1 - In H1ANdGEMEN1
H time has come for the Virgin Islands
Corporation to take stock of its operations, to clean house, and
to set its sights for new goals Of higher efficiency, and create
service to this Island. Certainly the officials of the Virgin Is
lands Corporation must be conscious of the grave RESPONSE
biity which is theirs, and the fact that they are faced with
much upon which the future economic welfare of this place
depends. Running the Virgin Islands Corporation IS serious
business and should be approached cautiously, carefully, and
with the deepest conviction that the work undertaken is more
than just a pasttime, but a missionary duty and one which
can, and should bring economic relief Of which the early pro
ponents Of this great company must have dreamed.
IT is NOT enough that the Virgin Islands Corporation
goes through its planting and grinding operations each year.
What is required is keen business management, vision Of what
the future holds, and the SincereSt desire to make the Corp
Grafton pay its way. It must be run exactly as if a private
board Of directors had been given the task Of running a cor
poration 50 that it not only breaks even, but provides that
earned surplus from which dividends could be paid the share
holders. If this is not done, then the officials need to take time
out tosre-examine their work and their approach to the task
which faces them
EVEN THOUGH it might be argued that the Corpora
ton is not a social agency, and that its primary function is
not to provide relief and employment, vel, f it is efficiently
run, It can accomplish just that result. Of late, several moves
IF the Corporation would tend to impress outsiders that the
necessary care il management had been lacking. Machinery.

to the factory. More recently, horses were shipped in from
Puerto Rico. All that we ask is why should an island like
st. Croix, with ample pasture, and crops, an island which has
bred all kinds Of horses, send to Puerto Rico for horsesP If it
IS that there were not enough, then perhaps il might be well
to work in cooperation with the Experiment Station in work
ing out a breeding program. No doubt the answer will be
that these animals were needed right away. But people who
run big corporations do not wait until something is actually
needed, at the very moment, to start thinking about it, and

continue to oppose granting the
full sum, requested by District
civil defense leaders.
Opposition Unexpected.
Unexpected opposition to the
bill developed in the course of yes
terday's session, resulting in con-
cessions from administration lead
ers to get the measure to a vote.
Most outspoken criticism came
from Senator McCarran, Demo-
crat, of Nevada, who threatened at
one point to submit a formal reso-
luton sending the entire bill back
to the Judiciary Committee for
review. Senator Gordon, Repub-
lican, of oregon also urged a
delay in the vote until after the
Christmas recess.
The opposition melted as rap
idly as it had arisen after Senator
Lehman. Democrat. of New York
said he would object to any recess
if action on the bill was not taken.
AS a compromise gesture, Senator
Kefauver, Democrat, of Tennessee,
who piloted the measure on the
floor, agreed to drop two sections
which Senator McCarran chal-
lenged as unconstitutional.
The implication was strong,
however, that the sections giving
the agency immunity from suit
would be restored in conference
Amendments Agreed On.
Earlier, three amendments to
the original bill were agreed on.
They had the effect of placing
the burden of investigating i'm
portant civil defense personnel on
the Civil Service Commission in
stead of the FBI; of spelling out
the procedure by which the agency
could acquire property, and of
requiring the civil defense admin
istrator to consult with the Sec
retary of Defense before deciding
which cities of the country were
critical targets for enemy attack.
A fourth amendment, offered by
Senator Taft. Republican, of Ohio
also was adopted. 1t provides that
the broad emergency provisions of
the law shall take erect after a
special proclamation by the Presi-
dent or a concurrent resolution of
Congress that the country is in
imminent danger of attack" The
emergency provisions could also be
applied to exposed areas, such
as Alaska, Hawaii or the Canal
Zone, without a public announce
ment.

Gen. Walker once said. "I didn't
know whether we could hold or
not. But. after six days, knew
we had them licked" .--e--v
Two weeks later, Gen. Walkers
9th Army was on the offensive
in its big drive northward. The
9th and 10th Corps defeated the
Red Korean army-but then were
driven back by overwhelming
numbers of Chinese.
"Shoe String General"
This withdrawal was CALLING to
Gen. Walker, the "shoe string
general who had won recognition
as an expert on attack. But he
was proud of the way his army
fought out of the Chinese trap.
Gen. Walker was not a head
quarters general. He shuttled
back and forth to the front con-
stantly to check on his troops.
1t was not unusual to see his three
star jeep in the shooting zone.
And he would not have needed
any advice to be cautious even if
it had been given to him.
Once his 80-year-old mother
wrote him:
Son. there's no use for me to
beg you to take care of yourself
1 know you'll not do it. Write
me if you have time, but don't
worry about me-"
The general took out time to
write to his mother. But, he was
more interested in the welfare OF
his Army than his own safety.

Faint Hope Is Held
That Chinese Reds
Will Discuss Truce
BY the Associaied Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Dec. 23.-The
United Nations cease-fire COM
mission clung to thin hope to-
day that Communist China would
still agree to dicker with 1t on
terms for a Korea truce. -
Discouraged diplomats chilled
by yesterdays icy blast from the
Peiping radio rejecting the mere
idea of e-fire-saw little
reason for this optimism.
The three-man committee in
sisted, however, that it would not
consider a radio rejection final
and all three said they would
continue to await a formal reply
from Communist Premier and
Foreign Minister Chou En-lai.
They have sent him three
urgent cabled appeals to begin
negotiations but the radio broad
cast was the first answer.
Translation of Broadcast.
AS translated by the Associated
Press in Tokyo it said:
The commission-consisting of
Assembly President Nasrollah En-
team of Iran, Sir Bengal N. Rau
Of India and Lester B. Pearson
of Canada-is illegal because Red
China was not represented in the
U. N. committee which established
1t. Therefore, Peiping will refuse
to deal with the "illegal" commits
sion.
No cease-fire can be negotiated
except on these Red terms:
l. Withdrawal of foreign {Amer-
ican) troops from Korea.
2. The United States to quit
guarding Formosa and leave 1t
open for Communist conquest.
3. Red China to be admitted
to the U. N.
These are the same demands
Red Chinese Envoy WI Hsiu-
chuan made at Lake Success and
caused little surprise here.
viii Meet Again Tuesday.
It is known that they are COM
pletely unacceptable to the United
States which has insisted that the
question of a Korea cease-f1re and
political solution of Far East
ern problems be handled sep
arately.
Unless the cease-fire commits
sion's hopes come true, the attempt
to end the Intervention of Red
Chinese in the Korean war by
negotiation appeared doomed.
The three men are scheduled
to hold their next meeting Tues
day to begin drafting their report

ical Committee 1t is to be

military operations at some fu-
ture date. He smiled and said:
This old war horse is going
out TO pasture after this one.
This is two for me-and I'm afraid
I'll be too old for another one"
The chief criticism of Gen.
Walker in Korea concerned his
public utterances-and not his
military strategy and tactics.
There were some who thought
Gen. Walker was inclined to make
ill-considered statements at times.
After the Chinese had driven
the 9th Army into retreat, a
statement was issued from head
quarters under Gen. Walkers
name saying that the November
offensive may in fact have saved
the Army from disaster. There
were some raised eyebrows over
this statement.
But I happen to know the state
ment was not Gen. Walkers own
1t came from upstairs" with Or
ders that Gen. Walker should
release it under his name.
Sensitive to Criticism.
Like most military men, the
general was sensitive to criticism
But he never tried to block
critical stories or to argue with
correspondents who did not SET
eye to eye with him.
Il think the press has beer
more than fair with me-" he sale
in that last interview. There ha!
been criticism. but on the whole
think maybe you've been better
than deserve"
Most correspondents felt Gen
Walker had done a masterful jot
in handling the 9th Army-undel
the handicap Of not having full
command of the Korean battle
front. Actually, he had nc
command control over the United
States 10th Corps, which operated
as an independent force.
Perhaps his greatest achieve
ment in Korea was the defense o1
the southern beachhead perimetel
in the early days of the war, wher
his Army was greatly outnumberec
by the Red Koreans.
There were times when Gen
Walker did not have so much a!
a platoon in reserve. Every uni
he had was committed to battle
to hold that thin line until enough
power could be mustered for ar
offensive.
Once he admitted he did mo-
have a single unit in reserve. Ther
he smiled and said, "You won't
find that in the books, will you:
They would say you were crazy tt
fight war without reserves. Blu
that's what we are doing-becaust
we have to-"
The critical period in the early
days of the war came with thu
arrival of September. That wa.
when the Reds launched theil
all-out assault to smash the 8tf
Army's defense line.
THAT was our toughest time,

By Don Whitehead
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent

HONOLULU. Dec. 23-Lt. Gen.
Walton H. Walker died in Korea
while still hoping he could send
his 9th Army into a counter
offensive against the Chinese Red
armies.
In one of his last interviews
with this correspondent, Gen.
Walker said:
1.-The time is coming when my
army will stop withdrawing. And
then we will attack. We will at
tack as soon as we are able"
But his ambition to attack was
wiped out in one tragic accident
of war.
Gen. George S. Patton, jr., was
Gen. Walkers military idol.
Whenever possible. he recalled the
days in World War II when he
commanded the famed Goth
Ghost Corps" in Gen. Patton's
victorious Sd Army-the days
when his troops never retreated,
but always attacked.
Resented Dispatch.
I was asked to come to Gen.
Walkers Office at 9th Army head
quarters in Seoul for an interview
10 days ago. I was bit surprised
because Gen. Walker for weeks
had refused to see or talk to cor
respondents.
I found him busy at his desk,
sitting under the flags of the
United States, South Korea and
the United Nations. He greeted
me warmly. Then he disclosed
that he bitterly resented dis
patch by correspondent who had
written that the 9th Army had
been "in headlong flight" before
the Chinese Reds.
Gen. Walker slapped a fist into
his hand and said:
my Army never has been in
headlong flight. This has been
an orderly withdrawal and under
my complete control at all times.
1t isn't fair to my troops to say
there has been any panic or head
long flight"
Irked by Reflection on Army.
1t is true the 9th Army did make
an orderly and weIl-planned with
drawal in front of the Chinese
Reds who outnumbered U. N
troops as much as S to /.
But Gen. Walker was enraged
that a careless phrase should re-
fleet on his army.
The retreat of the 9th Army
was a bitter dose for him. If he
doubted the wisdom of Gen. Mac
Arthur's end the-war BY Christ
mas offensive, he gave no hint o1
it-but he made it clear he was
only carrying out orders when he
attacked on November "a.
Even while his army was pulling
back before the Chinese, Gen
Walker was thinking. of the time
when he could attack.
my army isn't whipped" he
said. I'm proud Of the way II
came out of the Red offensive
And we will fight again"
Self imposed Censorship.
When the interview had ended
Gen. Walker shook hands anc
apologized for the fact he had not
been available in recent weeks tc
the press.
''I've been operating under a
self imposed censorship because
of a delicate military and political
situation" he said.
He never explained this remark

would meet in another theater Of
