Plans for District Jail
Alcoholic Clinic Put Off

The proposal to extend the work
OF the Alcoholic Rehabilitation
Clinic to the District Jail. which
was to have started today, has
been abandoned for the time being,
DR.. Leopold E. Wexberg, director
OF the clinic announced today.
The reason for the postpone
ment, DR.. Wexberg said, is in
adequate personnel. For this same
reason. he said, the clinic hours at
the Weightman School, Twenty
third and M streets NV, have
been cut from 48 hours a week to
40.
The changes at the Weightman
clinic, which became effective Mon
day, cuts out the Monday and Wed
nesday morning sessions. Here
after the clinic will be open on
Mondays and Wednesdays from
pm. to $50 pm. and Tuesdays
Thursdays and Fridays, from 8:15
am. to 4:45 pm.
DR.. Wexberg said he has asked
the Commissioners for additional
personnel. Enough money has ac-
cumulated from the special liquor
tax to pay for the additional help

On the Other Hand
An Echo Heard Today of Pledge
Given the World ia Years Ago

vinced Of the deadly seriousness
of our purpose and that of the
other free members of the United
Nations who have joined with us,
the Soviet government may recall
the invaders or leave them to their
fate. If not, there is no blinking
the fact that the Third World War
is on. with all its incalculable
consequences.
AS for the extent to which we
have pledged our honor, there
should be no question that it is
complete. This involves undeviat-
ing adherence to the principles of
the United Nations. which are
clear enough for all men and all
governments to understand, al
though hamstrung in operation by
weaknesses in the Charter to
which the nations have subscribed.
The whole spirit, purpose and in
tent of this world organization,
born in the throes of the Second
World War, was to end armed ag-
gression and protect the right of
all peoples to decide their own
destiny.
Statement Is Implicit.
In its effort to live up to this
commitment in that part of Aisa
now involved, the United States
Government has met with misrep-
resentation abroad, chiefly from
Russia, and with misunderstand-
ing at home, some of it due to
domestic politics and seemingly
quite deliberate. While there is
little we can do concerning mis-
representation, there is no reason
for any misunderstanding on our
own part. If there ever had
been the Presidents proclamation
should have removed it.
THE United States will con-
tinue to uphold the rule of law"
THE determination of the fu-
ture status of Formosa must
await the restoration of security
in the Pacific. peace settlement
with Japan, or consideration by
the United Nations"
Implicit in his statement is the
determination that China, as we'll
as all other Asiatic countries,
shall remain free to decide its
own destiny, free from coercion by
any country, including our own.
That must be our policy if we
are to retain the worlds respect
and sacrifice no portion of our
own sacred honor.

The President has acted for us
and the Congress has voiced its
support of his action, although
not without some of the same
cautious criticism that was heard

Injunction Suit Filed
Over GP0 Waste Paper

A waste-paper dealer here to-
day was seeking to enjoin the
public printer of the United States
from letting a waste-paper pur-
chasing contract to another
Washington firm.
In a District Court action, the
Kline Paper Stock Co. of 1915
First street Sc, argued that John
j. Deviny, as head of the Govern
ment Printing Office, should be
restrained from accepting the bid
of the Thomas Paper Stock Co. of
2001 Sixteenth street NE, to buy
all the waste paper of GPO for
the next six months.
The suit asserted that at the
behest of the Kline firm Controller
General Lindsay Warren has asked
Mr.. Deviny to look closer into the
Thomas contract.
The Kline company expressed a
fear that the public printer would
award the contract to the Thomas
firm, a high bidder in recent COM
petitions, Notwithstanding the re-
quest of Mr.. Warren. Kline ac-
knowledged that it's own figure in
the competitive bidding was third
highest.

Win denomination,
But Faction Loses
Nv IN. Associated Pres.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. July L.
Senator Capehart was renomi-
mated by acclamation at the Indi-
ana Republican State Convention
yesterday, but his wing of the
State organization took a beating
on minor State Offices.
Senator Capehart, Senator Jen-
ner and State Chairman Gale j.
Holder disavowed their organiza-
ton and left its direction to floor
lieutenants. Delegates voted in
secret instead of the old county
block voting, and the system paid
lof for unslated delegates.
The Jenner-C Capehart group took
only one clearcut victory and lost
decisively in the race it chose for
the big test of its ability to win
and hold delegates.
Senator Jenner, the keynote
speaker. and Representative Hal
leck, the permanent chairman,
told the delegates that America
assuredly would stand united in a
time of crisis. but they were crit
ical of the Truman administra-
tion's policy. ..+
Mr.. Halleck said that patriotic
unity "does not mean that we Re-
publicans who have co-operated
with the administration since the
winning of World War II, in a real
endeavor to win the peace, cannot
point out what our position has
been and hence avoid the unjust
and unfair accusations which were
constantly hurled at us after
Pearl Harbor."
Senator Jenner said in his key
note address that President Tru-
mans action in sending military
aid to South Korea was 1.-THE most
complete reputation of a Secre-
tary of State in our history" and
that Secretary Acheson Ought to
have enough moral decency left to
resign"
He said Republicans would be
rendering criminal disservice to
America" if they support the ad-
ministration's foreign policy in the
future.

This Changing World
Defenseless South Koreans Failed to Get
American Arms Aid Voted Last Year

their equipment and now are
being rounded up and placed
again in the ranks.
It was realized that without
American ground troops in South
Korea the chances of resistance
to the Northern invaders were nil.
Hence, on the recommendation of
Gen. Macarthur. President Tru-
man ordered that this be done.
4 Divisions in Japan.
There are four good American
combat divisions in Japan. It
would be dangerous to use more
than a limited number of these
electives, in view of the uncer-
tainty of Russia's next step. Under
these circumstances Gen. Mac
Arthur is said to have urged the ac-
ceptance of Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek's offer to send two or
three Nationalist divisions to sup
port the Koreans. These troops
are American-trained and have
the know-how to handle Ameri-
can equipment. Chang is anxious
to have them fight on the main
land again. There are enough
LISTS and transports in Japan to
carry them to Korea in less than
week,
Washington is faced, however,
with political problem in this in
stance. Gen. Macarthur has a
completely free hand to handle the
military aspects of the situation in
the Pacific, but he cannot make
any move which might interfere
with international political situa-
tionS.
Although President Truman
ordered the Seventh Fleet to stand
guard around Formosa to pre-
vent a Communist amphibious
operation, the status of Chang
politically is still uncertain. Until
the outbreak of the Soviet-spon-
sored attack from North Korea,
it was taken for granted in official
quarters in Washington that the
Nationalists would be unseated in
the United Nations, in favor Of
the Communists. The American
delegation was to vote against
this resolution, fully aware that
the majority would carry the day.
In the event that Chang is
allowed to send reinforcements to
South Korea. on the basis that
China is a member of the Security
Council, the position of the NaG
tionalists will be strengthened
greatly in the eyes of the Amer
ican people. And there will be
overwhelming sentiment in this
country against our policy-makers
unless they oppose with all means
at their diSposal-including the
veto-the expulsion of the Ma
tionalist representatives from the
United Nations.
Hence, the civilians in the .ad-
ministration are weighing the
strong military arguments from
Tokyo in favor of using Nation
alist ground forces.

million were asked by the Gov
ernment to provide Korea with
arms for defense.
Normally the economy minded
members of Congress would have
welcomed the news that less than
10 per cent of last years appro-
priation had been used for mill
tary aid to Korea. But under the
impact of the North Korean ag-
gression and the news that the
Southerners were unable to re-
sist the onslaught, the legislators
were dismayed:-
They have been told that the
defense forces of the Korean Re-
public were melting away, not be-
cause they were cowardly or un-
willing to fight, but for lack of
adequate military equipment to
resist the invaders, who are well
provided with offensive material
by their Russian hackers.

The Korean Embassy in Wash
ington is reported to have been
aware of the danger of an attack
from the north. The Seoul gov
ernment has been asking for sew
eral months that war material be
Speeded up. Because of the grow
ing danger from the North it had
gone so far as to use its small
dollar reserves to buy small arms
in this country.
There was an ill-concealed an
tagonism in certain influential
quarters in Washington to the
"Chiang Kai-shek character" of
some of the policies of Korea's
President Syngman Rhee.
The sequel of this theological
dislike is that when the Russian
puppets attacked last Sunday
morning with their tanks and
heavy artillery the Southerners
were overwhelmed. They pos
Sessed only a few anti-tank weap-
