Constantine Brown:
Chinese Poised for Operation Ki|F
Meantime Military Men Are Asking if Chang May Send
Formoso Forces to. Engage Growing Red Army in Korea

Will our State Department
and the Allied governments
which have sent token forces to
Korea agree to the inclusion of
Chinese Nationalist forces from
Formosa in the event that the
cease-fire parleys break down
officially? This is the $64 ques-
ton which military men are
asking today.
A resumption of fighting on q
large scale is expected to be
even more violent than in the
past. The enemy has been pro-
vided during the 20 weeks of
truce conversations" not only
with strong aviation, but also
with more firepower than ever
before. Under these conditions
and because of the severe winter
which lies ahead Of the U. N.
forces. the number of casualties
is likely to be higher than last
year. We have sent from the
United States almost everything
that is available, principally as
replacements for the 100000 cas-
ualties suffered since the out
break of the war.
Our Allies. the French and
British, are unlikely to increase
their manpower above what
they have now. The French need
their troops in Indo-China,
where hostilities on a large scale
are expected to resume shortly.
The British. faced with serious
situation in the Middle East and
in Malaga. can provide nothing
further for the U. N. forces out
side the $4,000 men they have
in Korea now. The British
garrison on the Suez Canal has
been increased from the treaty
strength" Of 10000 to nearly
$4,000 troops, and nobody can
foresee when the Middle East
ern crisis may end.
Under these conditions the
only member of the U. N. who
has troops available in satisfac-
tory numbers is the Chinese
Nationalist government. Chang
Kai-shek offered 10000 men
when the Korean conflict broke

scinded. That directive. while
intended to defend Formosa,
also forbade the Nationalists to
make incursions on the Com
munist mainland. This enabled
Peiping to send two of its best
armies-four army corps-to
Korea.
The Nationalist forces. accord
ing to the American military
mission now in Taiwan, are
some 100000 strong. OF these,
about one-fifth are we'll trained
and battle ready.
1t is true that the Nationalist
armies are still short of am
munition and their aviation is
weaker than it was a year ago
because Of the lack of replace
ments for wornout motors. But
what Is needed desperately in
Korea today Is actual manpower.
The Nationalist small arms,
machine guns and artillery are
OF American make and conse-
quently the stocks of ammuni-
tion available in Korea could be
used for them.
According to some reports.
Gems. Matthew Ridgway and
James Van Fleet are anxious to
have as many divisions of
trained men as possible added to
their command. The Nationalist
government is still eager to join
the other members of the U. N.
in the battle against the Com
munists In Korea; the Amer
ican and British officers are
equally anxious to get fresh
troops on the battle line.
The decision must be taken.
however. on the diplomatic level
at Paris where the U. N. As
sembly is meeting now. And in
the past it was impossible to
overcome the diplomatic objec-
tions. Military men in Korea
and Tokyo hope that the Dip
lomats will appreciate the new"
situation in the Korean action
and will give Chang the needed
green light.

impels them toward a rugged
individualism and a distrust of
centralized government. To this
is added the emotional impact
of their problems with their very
large Negro minority.
The South, however, yields to
none in its grasp of practical
politics. and its politicians, by
and large. are among the coun-
try's ablest. They cannot. with
a straight face. contend that
they stand in any immediate
danger Of congressional enact
ment Of the Truman civil rights
program. That program. per Sc,
is dead on the vine and they
know it.
What the Truman program,
with its implied threat Of Fed
eral action. has certainly done
is to spur the drive for civil
equality for the Negro. The
defending South has increased
its own concessions and the
courts have been active. Many
people feel that this type of
gradual improvement is the
best answer.
Its emotional content. how
ever. is low and will not serve
to overturn Presidents or upset
a States balance of power.
This is clear to those who op-
pose President Truman because
they are more conservative eco

Lowell MeHett:

This administration, 1t now
seems likely. will have to pay
for the sins Of some of its tax
collectors. Scandal is something
the people understand, and the
scandal hasn't stopped spread
ing. People who pay their own
taxes. cheerfully or otherwise,
are pretty certain to revenge
themselves on officials who per-
NIT themselves to be bribed or
pressured into writing off taxes
due from other citizens. And
they will not, because they can
not, be too discriminating in
their revenge. In marching to
the polls to vote the rascaIs
out they naturally will vote out
some who are not rascals at
all. But even so they will be
following a sound instinct, for
the administration cannot es-
cape responsibility for conditions
now being exposed in the In
ternal Revenue Bureau. Those
conditions should have been
known. The personal anguish
expressed publicly this week by
Secretary of the Treasury Sny-'
der comes a little late. So, too,
does the very real reform pro-
posed by Democratic Chairman
Mckinney and President. Tru-
man, the placing of all tax col
lectorS under civil service.
Politically the damage has
been done. enough damage to
undo the Democratic Party next
year, unless the scandal should
be submerged under issues
equally understandable and po-
tent, not now foreseen.
The administration will pay
for its sins in the field of taxa
ton. 1t will not be rewarded
for its virtue in that same field.
The. administration sought dur
ing the session of Congress a
much fairer tax bill than that
which was enacted by Congress.
It was defeated in its efforts to

Depth Of Struggle is Puzz|inq

Observers Find 1t Difficult to Assay

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Nov. IS.
A strong flavor of this is
where I came in" clings to news
developments with respect to
the Southern revolt against the
concepts that have elected a
Democratic President five times,
beginning with 1882.
Reporters old at the story are
often accused of tanning the
flames and the Southern Cover
nors' conference just concluded
here is no exception. The States
Rights Governors seemed to feel
that somehow they had been
euchred into putting up an
argument which was untimely,
since they have reason to be-
lieve that President Truman
does not now intend to be their
1852 whipping boy. However,
challenged by Cows. Sidney
McMath of Arkansas and Kerr
Scott Of North Carolina, with a
strong assist from Speaker Sam
Rayburn, they dutifully put on
their act.
What is difficult for the visit
ing correspondent to judge is
the political depth of the strug-
gle.

a mere shibboleth in the South,
whose Anglo-Saxon blood. less
diluted than that of other re-

Pollution of Anocostio Given
las Reason for Many Dead Fish

Pollution of the Anacostia River
was advanced as a probable rea-
son today for large numbers OF
dead fish seen in the Potomac
River below Fort Foote.
District officials said there has
been a seasonable decline in the
flow of water, with a consequent
reduction in the amount of dis
solved oxygen needed for fish sur
vival.

were observed last week in the

the banks below the rivers con-
Ifluence with the Potomac.
Mr.. Thurman and A. H. Paess-
Ter, executive secretary of the

waters and some fish for analysis

has been made.

Chosen to be on the Lenten read

year. This reviewer likes it better
than the authors previous work
on Prayer. He gives fine inteypre-
tatlon to great beliefs as expressed
in the Apostles Greed and the
Lords Prayer. The very first chan
ter asks that our modern question
lngs issue in true faith, and a rec
ognitiOn of Christ. The concluding
chapter asks for the surrender of
mans will in worship. In the chan
ters between he writes compelling
ly Of trust in God, the humanity and
deity of Jesus, the new spirit, the
meaning of the church, the neces-
slty for forgiveness, and the sense
OF eternity. DR.. Buttrick links his
chapters together in close relation
