likely. one Of the first to be attacked
by Russia. And because of this, an ALI
ance has been formed with Yugoslavia
to protect Tito. Thus we have the NATO
nations, which includes France and
England, committed to defend Yugo-
slavia. Yet, paradoxically, France and
England and the ADA didn't and
haven't as yet raised the "high hells'
about such q commitment as this.
France and England and the ADA were
aware then and are aware now, too,
that Tito is more vulnerable to attack
than is Franco.
France and England and the ADA
give Frances totalitarianism as their
reason for opposition to a Spanish pact.
I ask them what is Tito's regime? Is it
heaven? Has not Mr.. Tito imprisoned
Yugoslavia's churchmen, killed of oppo-
Sition, such as Gen. Draja Mikhail-
ovitch. abolished the freedoms. and
obligated the Yugoslavs to the state?
Tito's sword is just as bloody as is
frances; both of them gained power
by employing the methods of "Com-
rade Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin."

That's Not How Bradley Spends His Time
By Carl W. MccordIe

:" HEN photographer catches Gen.
w Omar N. Bradley In the midst Of
one Of his rare rounds Of golf, there are
some, perhaps. who say testify: $50 that's
how he spends his time while the coun-
try's going to pot"
While the click Of the camera may
cause him to miss . shot and look like
q hacker, the general really is q pretty
fair golfer, dipping well into the 70s on
occasion. But this is not because he
spends lot of time figuring out the
tricky rolls Of Army Navy or Burning
Tree.
He simply doesn't have time for such
things, as his work sheet plainly shows.
His associates, those who watch him
grind away and follow his travels with
map pins. are staggered when they see
in black and white the record of his
assignments, all taken In his easy-going.
soft-spoken, modest stride. 1t almost
seems that the figures must be wrong.
even If figures don't lie, or that the
general must have double sharing his
workload.
s. In his tWo-year stretch as chairman
of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff he has flown
100000 miles, attended 248 meetings Of
the JCS, gone to the White House 174
times to brief the President or discuss
strategy, and visited the President on
his yacht three times
Gen. Bradley established the prin-
ciple that the jos should as often as
practicable visit the united commands
to study service problems. He has prac-
ticed what he preached. He went to
Alaska in 1949; in early 1850 he toured
the Pacific.
In June, 1850. on the eve Of the Ko-
rean war, he accompanied then Secre-
tary of Defense Louis johnson to de-
tense installations in the Far East.
Gen. Bradley went with President
Truman on the latter's historic flying
trip to Wake Island in the fall Of 1850
to confer with Gen. Macarthur.
He has gone to meetings Of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization In Paris
and The Hague.
In the spring Of this year he went
to France and England to confer with
Gen. Eisenhower and British and French
military chiefs.
Gen. Bradley has sat In on 112 brief

At least IS times he has gone to the

Climbing Mount Mckinley

No matter how many times the top OF Mount
Mckinley is attained, the story always will be
interesting both to professional climbers and to
those who never aspire TO be Apinists. The
latest ascent of the highest mountain In North
America has all the fascination Of the hrst
successful attempt in 1913 Among the pioneers
OF SO years ago were Archdeacon Hudson Stuck,
II. P. Karstens, Robert Tatum and Walter
Harper. They were three months on their way
to the apex, 2O270 feet above the Pacific. It was
the northeast face Of the loftiest of the Rockies
that they scaled, and the same approach was
used by the next five parties to make the hazard
GUS trip over the snow and ice to the crest.
This summer, however, something new has
been added. A group of seven mountaineers
under the leadership Of Bradford Washburn,
director of the Boston Museum Of Science has
reached the top for the first time by the western
route. They have had. the aid of modern
methods in terms Of aircraft and radio. DR..
Terris Moore, president Of the University Of
Alaska, was the pilot Of small plane which
landed on the Kahiltna Glacier, at an altitude
Of 1900 feet, again and again, carrying passen-
gers and supplies that far toward the top. His
share in the expedition was abetted by the Air
Force with larger ship and the Geological Sur
vey. The latter agency Is preparing new map
of the whole Mount Mckinley territory from
Cook Inlet north.
When the group had finished the seasons
work, DR.. Moore flew It's members back. The first
man "in" was landed June IS; the last "out"
was taken of July %. Between those two dates
the peak had been studied as it never was pre-
viously. The most difficult phase was the climb
between $4,000 and 1900 feet-much of it
through fog and waist-deep snow. Temperatures
were abnormally high, the lowest recorded being
only below zero. Mr. Washburn, who twice
before had reached the crest, prefers the western
angle to the northeast because of the absence
Of crevasses and the relative freedom from
avalanches.
OF course, every such excursion is character
lied by risks all of which cannot be anticipated
and avoided The margin Of danger, however,
can be reduced by scientific procedures, and that
is what was done by this years mountaineerS
on the Bolshaya of the Russians and the Trsleyka
of the Indians.

HobbIing the Acc

Senator Long of Louisiana has used the right
word in describing as ridiculous" the rigid
payroll and personnel limitations that have
been imposed upon the Atomic Energy Commits
sion by the So-called Jensen rider. The rider
attached to the Independent Ofices Appropria-
ton Act that has been adopted by Congress-is
kind of across-the-board economy measure
designed to force Federal agencies to reduce or
hold in check their present levels of employment
Despite its audable objective, however, its appli-
cation to the Acc just does not add up to
common sense.
As matters stand now, the AEC-apart from
the scores of thousands employed by the private
industries working under contract on the atomic
project-has about $500 of its own direct en-
ployes. But the newly enacted limitations, which
forbid the agency to spend over SOS, ,135 900 on
wages and salaries 40 per cent less than the
sum it had requeSted), would require it to cut
down this number to an average of about 5,165
for fiscal 1852. In effect, what this means is
that the commission is faced with legislative
ukaSe to lop off much-needed personnel at q
time when it's operations are undergoing vast
and portentouS expansion.
That expansion, involving the development
and production of revolutionary weapons (includ-
ing possibly the hydrogen bomb, is overwhelm-
tngy military in character. In the circumstances,
considering the nature and scope of this greatly
accelerated and extremely important program,
nothing could seem more unreasonable than that
the Atomic Energy Commission should be called
upon to run it with far fewer people than at
present That is why both Democratic and Re-
publican members of the joint Senate House
committee on the atom have urged that the
agency be exempted from the limitations, just
as the Defense Department has been. Congress
should act accordingly. There should be no
hobbling of the Acc.

Encyclopedia Bicentenory

Just two hundred years ago this summer the
nrSt volume OF the famous French Encyclopedia
came from the press The anniversary is being
celebrated in America as well as in Europe It
furnishes an opportunity for a new appraisal of
what the writer's enlisted by Diderot really ac-
complished Their aim originally was set forth
as an attempt ito gather together the knowledge
scattered over the face of the earth" They
strove to collect call books into one" But they
also added vast quantities of new material
Unfortunately however, they sought not only to
give information but to guide opinion. Their
own views varied, of course, and it followed that
there were nnumerable contradictions in the
text.
Among the encyclopedistes contributing to
the debate were Voltaire and Rousseau, MonteS-
quieu and Button, De Jaucourt, Boulanger and
Boucher dArgis Morellet, Bellin, Tarin, Goussier,
Blondel and Baron d'Holbach. Many Of the
collaborators were men deeply impressed by the
belief that the past was dead. They wrote Of
1t largely as if it had ceased to influence man
kind Their own brands of rationalism and
materialism necessarily were reflected in their
endeavors. The printer, wishing to keep out
of jail, deleted some of their criticisms of the
church and the state. What remained after
these amputations still was suspect The parle-
ment of Paris ordered the Encyclopedia burned
In 1859, and Diderot almost surely would have
been severely punished had he not been under
the protection of Nine. de Pompadour and
Malesherbes director general of the Librairie.
But in spite of all the difficulties q volumes
were published by 1774. Ten more were pro-
duced later The net result of the venture was
q tremendous acceleration of political activity
out of which eventually came the French Revo-
luton and the empire of Napoleon. Karl Marx
owed much to the encyclopedistes. So did many
other reforHers. What has been happening

in the name of communism since 1917 traces
back in principle to the dogmas established by
the romantics Of the 18th century. They favored
the changes which in theory are the objectives
of most critics Of capitalism and Christianity.
Yet the Encyclopedia was not exclusively
propaganda. 1t did convey knowledge to multi
tudes Of readers and in that respect 1t is entitled
to grateful remembrance 200 years after the
release of the first of It's sections.
