Agency Withdrawal
From Chest Seen
II Campaign Fails
Log in Government
Contributions Worries
Drive Chuirmun

The Community Chest may lose
some of it's member agencies if
it doesn't make its goal this year,
Chairman Thornton w. Owen
says.
And then. he has warned cam
paign leaders, the city would face
more individual fund drives-a
situation the Chest was designed
to correct.
Mr.. Owen addressed this warn
ing to top leaders of the 81 mil
lion drives biggest unit. Govern
ment, at a special meeting yes
terday. The meeting dealt with
a lag in contributions from Gov
ernment employees.
Just Under Half of Goal.
AS a whole, the campaign now
has reached just under half Of
its goal. But Government work.
ers. who generally take the lead,
are trailing nearly 100000 be-
hind last years progress.
Mr.. Owen said that, if Gov
ernment can manage to catch
up, he won't have any worries
about reaching the $4,050, 900 goal.
But, he added, it will take many
more contributors to do it.
The chairman told campaigners
that some Chest agencies may
withdraw" if the drive fails, be-
cause of a need to repair buildings
and facilities that have been neg
lected on account of previous fail
ures. He didn't name specific
agencies. ...
"The campaign must go across
this year." he said, "in order to
hold the Chest together and avoid
breaking up the one big campaign
in the city"
Target Date November Is.
Mr.. Owen emphasized he still is
shooting for the target date of
November Is, when he hopes to
end the active public campaigning.
"It must not drag on as it has
in the past" he declared.
In addition to the Government,
leaders also hope to step up con-
tributions among employees of
Washington business firms. Busi-
ness units so far are ahead of last
years reports, but individual con-
tributors are not yet so numerous.
The present subscription total
is 1881 400. or 48.9 per cent of

But it was learned that Mr.

Mr.. Caudle was before the SUBJ

The subcommittee was in re-

TOKYO. Nov. SITS home by

United States enlisted man whit
has been fighting on the Korean
front since last January /.
That was the virtual promise
in an announcement from head
quarters of the boss man of the
United Nations command, Gen
Matthew B. Ridgway.
Gen. Ridgway said he was max.
ing the announcement to cleal
up a little misinformation that
all enlisted men would be re-
lieved from Korea prior to the
onset of a second winter"
Officers Must Wait.
"It is entirely beyond the capa-
bilities of the Army" Gen. Ridg-
ways announcement said, Ito re-
lieve those $4,000 non-divisional
personnel in Korea who are Serv-
ing in Army rear areas"
All divisional officers. unlike
their men, also will have to wait
for qualified requirements" be-
fore they can go home.
Then Gen. Ridgway got down
to what many a fighting man has
been waiting to hear. He said:
Except for few critical spe-
cialists and special categories of
personnel, all enlisted men who
were serving with infantry divi-
sions in Korea on January l of
this year will be out of the lines
and on their wa. home by the end
of November"
While the announcement did
not specifically say Gen. Ridgway
wanted all his front-line enlisted
men home by Christmas, it was
understood at his headquarters
that this was the plan.
Gives "True Situation"
Ships sailing from Japan on
the last day of November will
have docked at some Pacific Coast
port by mid-December.
Gen. Ridgway said he wanted
"all troops and their commanders
fully informed of the true situa-
ton"
Rear area troops" he said,
"are well sheltered and protected,
and the maximum effort must
continue to be devoted to the re-
lief of front-line troops"
Then the supreme commander
made clear that the plan ap-
piled "only to enlisted men serv-
ing with infantry divisions, who
accrue four constructive months
of service for each month served

This would seem to imply
that the sacrifices made by the
U. N. forces, including casual
ties of $4,000 Americans. have
not swerved the aggressor from
his course. Then comes this
curious paragraph:
Neither war nor weakness is

Apathy Appears to Affict Everything in Washington

Eisenhower's first choice as his
successor.
A point generally made by all
the returned travellers is that
Gen. Bradley, now Chief Of
Staff, has come close to writing
himself out of Allied command,
at least short of hot war, in his
best seller, "A Soldiers Story"
Gen. Bradley's frankneSs about
the British prima donna, Gen.
Montgomery, was described as
more entertaining than diplo-
matte.
Senator Lodge was equally
impassioned over the necessity
of continuing foreign aid as
planned. A strategy of cutting
the $8.6 billion in half or ex-
tending the period it covers for
two years has some Republican
and conservative Democrat
support.
This would undercut Gen.
Eisenhower completely, Senator
Lodge charged. He cited figures
from Gen. Gruenther showing
that it would result in a Is per
cent cut in land and air
strength. He also warned that
the strong United States econ
omy was much more flexible
than the economy of Europe
which, he said, could not adjust
itself to constant shifts in de-
tense planning.

with the general. They'll go on
speaking their opinions about
his views, or Harry Truman's, or
Senator Taft's, and everybody
else's. Just as the general can
go on doing it, too, even though
he seems to have the idea that
somebody is going to stop him,
a sort of martyr complex.
For instance, in Boston he
said: "I have been warned by
many that an outspoken course,
even if it be solely truth, will
bring down upon my head ruth
less retaliation-that efforts will
be made, to destroy public faith
in the integrity of my views
not by force of just arguments
but by the application of false
methods of propaganda. am
told in effect I must follow
blindly the leader-keep silent
or taLe the bitter consequences"
Who told the general all
that?
Propaganda, as We Ameri-
cans say whimsically among
ourselves, is what the other
fellow says. The general GER
tainly has been "outspoken"
and he's spoken a number of
times, freely and without hin
drance. And he's still speak
ing, with nobody saying him
nay. 1t will be helpful if he'll
go on speaking. The more he
talks the better. For it reveals
him, and our people catch on
eventually. They're smart that
way.
1t is we'll for us to know
what he's been revealing about
himself in his recent speeches
as, for example, in Boston when
he said: Il find in existence
new and heretofore unknown
ana dangerous concept thaC Cne
members of our armed forces
owe primary allegiance and
loyalty to those who tempo
rarily exercise the authority Of
the executive branch of Gov
ernment, rather than to the
country and its Constitution
which they are sworn to de-
fend."
A species of sophistry in
which the general struck at ci-
william supremacy over the mill
tary. and revealed himself. In
the Executive is imposed civilian
authority, and the Executive iii
its symbol. The executive ofice
