Officials Deny Gray
|WiII Replace Acheson
By III. A..ee;at.d Pres,

High officials said last night that
the job Gordon Gray is being
considered for is psychological
warfare chief-not Secretary oi
State to succeed Dean Acheson.
An offhand remark by Gov. Kerr
Scott of North Carolina yesterday
gave rise to furry of speculation
that Mr.. Gray. former Secretary
of the Army and now president OF
the University of North Carolina
might be groomed to replace
AcheSon.
Gov. Scott said at Raleigh,
IN. c.. that President Truman was
insisting that Mr.. Gray come to
Washington two days each week
When reporter asked whether
the job might require more than
two days a week, Gov. Scott
replied:
"If, he felt like he should take
some important job, like taking
over Acheson's job, it could be-"
But high officials here stressed
that the job for which Mr.. Gray
lis under consideration is chairman
of a new board to coordinate
activities in the field of psyche
logical and political warfare.
President Truman has repeat
edly said that Mr.. Acheson is
doing a fine job as Secretary OF
State and that he has no inten.
tion of letting him go.
The University of North Caro-
lima trustees will meet Monday al
Raleigh to consider giving Mr.
Gray a leave Of absence so he
may do the psychological warfare
job. :

particular leadership is dubious

The last elections were in
1916. In these the Commu-
nists emerged as the strongest
single party, with 28.2 per cent
of the vote, the MRP popular

per cent, the Socialists with
17.9 per cent, the Radical Re-
publicans with Ill per cent,
and the right wing groups with

The third force government
is coalition of MRP, Social
lists and radical Republicans.
How the parties gauge French
opinion can be seen by their
actions and programs.
Those of the third force
stand for moderation, parlia-
mentary government and the
present foreign policy. Through
the Marshall and Monnet plans
they have checked imitation and
achieved remarkable recovery.
But their German policy, new
taxes for rearmament and de-
pendence on the United States
OF America are not popular.
How they themselves estimate
their chances was indicated by
their modification of the elec-
toral law, to provide that par
ties presenting candidates in 80
out OF 80 departments may
make voting alliances, and that
where a voting alliance wins an
absolute majority it gets all the
seats. (Formerly. they would
have been proportionately dis
tributed.) The reform even pro-
vides a special system of allo-
eating seats in the two depart
ments of Greater Paris where
Communists and De Gaullists
are strongest. 1t is obviously
directed against both and is
open admission that the survi-
val Of the third force could not
be left to the voters under the
old PR system.

by the State Department and
the United Nations early In the
campaign vanished into thin
air. A number of peace feelers
and cease-flrc approaches were
made to the enemy under terms
which the Military considered
tantamount to surrender. Thus.
when the Calculated risk" be-
came a reality, the diplomats in
Washington and New York cow
cred before the threat, which
they must fully have expected,

tiating with the aggressor.
One of the several reasons Of

justify Gen. MacArthur's dis

to bomb the Red Sanctuary" in
Manchuria had been accepted
by Washington and the United
Nations we might provoke Rus

Yet this contingency. according
to Mr.. Johnson, was taken into
consideration on June 26, when
the decision to intervene was
made.
Mr.. johnson also revealed that
in l949 the military establish

Chiefs of Staff, favored sending
a military mission to Formosa to
find out what, if anything, could
prof1tably be done for us there.
This was strongly opposed by

pealed to President Truman and
won his full support against the

Constantine Brown:

Former Defense Secretary
Johnson did more to reveal the
true state of affairs than any
other witness who has appeared
before the Macarthur investi-
eating committee.
He has confirmed under oath
what was suspected. and We
hemently denied by admins
tration spokesmen, that military
strategy is being dictated by
civilians in the State Depart
ment.
He cited two typical in
stances: The decision to defend
Korea and the formal opposi-
tion, until that decision was
made. to providing any kind Of
assistance to the Chinese Ma
tionalists, whom we still rec
ognize as the only legitimate
government of China.
Testifying about the decision
to intervene in Korea, the for
mer Defense Secretary stated
unequivocally that Secretary of
State Acheson took the lead
all the way for Intervention
during the momentous confer
ences at Blair House.
No member of the high COM
mand proposed such action. Mr..
johnson said. Under direct ques-
tioning by Senator Hickenlooper,
he admitted that it would be too
much to say that the military
establishment had "concurred."

sion of the President, who had

argument that we should inter-

lished in the press last June 26

were never asked. He was merely
informed of the decision and

This was in conformance with
the views of the civilian strate-
gists, who had been briefed--
during the discussions at Blair

French Vote May Upset Coalition
Outcome Could Have Direct Effect on Foreign Policies
Of Both the United States and Great Britain

One of the greatest difficulties
of maintaining such an interna-
tional coalition as that repre-
Sented in the Atlantic Treaty,
and the interlocking economic
agencies arising out of the Mar
shall Plan, is that parliamentary
democracy affords no reliable
promise of stable continuity.
Thus, the outcome of the
French elections could have a
direct effect on the foreign poll
cies of the United States and
Great Britain, so closely have
the fortunes of these countries
become associated with France.
The attitude of the French
people toward the United States
will play a role in these elec-
tions, registered by the extent
to which they support the par
ties of the so-called Third
Force" who share responsibility
for the present policy.
French politics perennially
battle outsiders. The French are
immensely politically minded,
but their decisions are as likely
to be based on an anticlerical
mood in this or that village, or
on local issue for or against
provisions in a finance bill, as
on matters of apparently trans
cedent international impor-
tance. They are politically frag-
mentiZed and both tickle and
traditional. Though they can
become strongly worked up in
a national election, to demon
strations even riots, they leave
actual conduct of politics al
most exclusively to professional
politicians-and French politi-
clans, like old soldiers, never die
and rarely fade away.
The United States hopes that
the elections will demonstrate
French unity, will to resist, and
will to take a stronger role in Eu-
ropean leadership. Without ven-
turing predictions, we doubt that
anything so clear will emerge.
The French people undoubtedly
will to survive. Their production
figures show will to work; their
birth rate will to live. But that
