Warn Against Letdown

fright and hysteria, which we
often do"
The report said Gen. Eisenhow-
er acknowledged the Soviet bloc
has unity lacked by the North
Atlantic Treaty nations. but said
1T was brought about by a gun
and a sword held forever behind
a mans back, ready to chop off
his head"
To gain real unity. the Senators
said Gen. Eisenhower told them,
the job is to convince every ma
ton and man participating in
Western Europe's defenses that
I'VE are approaching this thing
from the standpoint of enlight-
ened self f-interest."
There will be unity when every
man believes what he is doing is
good for him." Gen. Eisenhower
was quoted as telling the COM
mittee during conferences at his
Paris headquarters.
Senator Smith, Republican, of
New Jersey, one of the touring
group, said he agrees with Gen.
EisenhoWer's views on potential
Western strength and believes the
generals encouraging words will
be reflected in a determination
by the committees not to reduce
materially the $6.3 billion in for
eign military aid that would be
authorized by the bill.
Il think our conferences with
the general strengthened the feel
ing that we are justified in going
ahead to try to equip the Euro
pean divisions as fast as we can, -
Senator Smith said.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Green, Democrat, of
Rhode Island, said Gen. Eisen-
hover had been promised a IS
per cent increase in European
contributions to the North At
lantic army next year. to be fol-
lowed by a 40 per cent increase
in the number of divisions the
! following year.
More Arms Are Needed.
Senator Hunt said that one of
the reasons Europe hasn't already
put more men into uniform was
because American arms had not
yet been made available to equip
them.
LIT. Gen. (Alfred M Gruenther
Gen. EisenhoWer's deputy told
us they were holding back mobili-
zation until they can get the equip
ment,' the Wyoming Senator said.
The committee said United
States uniformed forces had been
more than doubled since the start
of the Korean war, while European
forces had increased only from
I10.8-man-per thousand population
in 1850 to 125 per thousand now
Senator Hunt said he agrees
with the subcommittee findings
that Spain and Yugoslavia ought
to be brought into the Master
plan" for defense of Europe. The
touring Senators said 5000 million
in military aid and a like amount
/ in economic help will be necessary
to put Spain in position to help
defend Western Europe.
U. S. Can't Be Permanent Arsenal.
Reporting that Europe expects
to raise it's military production
from $1,501 100000 this year to
$2,547 ,O00. 900 next year. the sub
committee said the speed with
which the Western nations rearm
will determine how fast American
troops can be withdrawn and
United States arms shipments de-
creased.
The United States cannot serve
as arsenal for the Free World for
more than the limited time re-
quired to get the defensive

feet" the report said. Nor does
the United States want large num-
bers of American troops stationed

Julie Taylor decided she
wasn't getting anywhere. 1t had been fun:
year of excitement with lots of dates - but
no serious romances, and of course she had
job = but it was just job as secretary to the
head of research in an advertising agency
Her understanding with her family was that
if. after year, she hadn't done anything in
New York that she couldn't have done just as
well at home. she come back and behave
sensibly." This meant to marry one of the
nice boys in town and forget that nonsense
about living away from home.
Then one day while she was tabulating
some statistics, the idea came to her. That
night she said to her roommate, "You know.
I've been thinking about men,"
Her roommate, seeing nothing astonishing
in this, didn't comment
Marriage" said Julie, 'is the most impor-
tant career woman can have And what do
we do about it? Practically, mean. We
spend lot of time on how we look, we buy
clothes, we 60 places - but all we do is wait
till some guy gets ready to ask us - and we
don't even know if he'll be the one we want
We don't act that way with other careers.

We plan for those: we know what we want.
and we make an intelligent effort to get it. ."
Her roommate pointed out that this had
been going on for quite while.
WELL" Julie said. why shouldn't we be
just as intelligent about getting husband?
I've always had pretty clear picture of the
man want to marry. know how old he is,
how he looks, how much money he makes -
and will make. know the kind of world he
lives in, the sort of people who are his closest
friends, the things he and would have fun
doing together. And I know he's in New
York. because the kind of person he is, he
couldn't be any place else.
Right now, he's got an apartment in town

- after we're married, we'll move up to Con-
necticut some place because neither of us will
want to bring up family in the city. Well
keep the apartment though it'll be con-
venient for shopping and for when we don't
feel like going home after the theater."
'YoU don't really think you could ever
find guy like that, do you?" her roommate
said.
II can figure out where I'm likely to find
him." Julie said. For example, when was
typing some statistics today came across
one that said 5l.7 per cent of the members of
Classes 1910 and Al of Harvard, Yale, Dart
mouth and Cornell were earning seventy-fve

hundred year or more ten years out OF col
lege - as opposed to 51.44 per cent of the
same group in the Big Ten and 81 .36 per cent
in the Pacific Coast Conference. That means
I'll probably marry a man from one of the
Ivy League colleges, because the man I'm
thinking of will be making at least seventy
five hundred a year after he's been out OF
college ten years.
"And something else came across: 4.8
per cent of the junior executives in twenty
five representative corporations capitalized in
excess of three million dollars are 3O.2 years
old. See how can narrow the field? The man
l marry won't be much over thirty. That
means II have to look for junior executive"

BROWN I5
 INDICTED,
 TAX CASE
Arrdinged in Federal Court at Anchorage on En-
 bezzIemeni Charge

ANCHORAGE. Alaska. May 15-- R- Archie L. Brown, former depu- ty tax collector for the Territorial Tax Office at Anchorage. was ar raigned yesterday in Third District Court on a charge of embezzlement.
 Brown was accused of misappro- priating $4,350 in Territorial funds between March 12 and August 28 of l948. The charges were contained in an indictment returned by a grand jury Feb. 27.
 The indictment was kept secret until Brown was arrested and re- turned here for prosecution. A war rant was served on him in Atlanta, Ga. He was returned here over the weekend from Seattle in custody of Deputy Erwin Metcalif of Seward
 Brown is scheduled to appear in District Court May 2l to enter a plea. His bond, originally $5,000, was reduced to $2,5O0.
 bIOWI WdS uCpuCy tdA SoAASSooA here about three years before re- signing in May of l949 under fire. Attorney General J. Gerald Williams claimed at the time Brown admitted borrowing Territorial funds and that the borrowing resulted in $559 shortage of accounts.
 A grand jury vindicated Brown in October of l949 after conducting an investigation of alleged irregu- larities in the tax office.
 Williams later criticized the grand jury stand. Testifying before the Alaska Senate last March 23. he said the Brown case was an illus tration of grand jury difficulties with what T considered an iron clad case"
 Williams said the tax commits sioner had found what appeared to be an additional shortage of $4,35O on Browns book The Territory ex- poets to collect the money from the company that bonded Brown, the attorney general said.

(RA(kD0WN ON PROFITS
 NOW ASKED
Johnston Says There Are Six Major Threats 10
 Sound Dollar
By FRANK O'BRIEN

WASHINGTON. May IS - lR - Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston asked today for powers to enforce a national crackdown on spiraling profits - ranging from the barn. yard to the union bargaining room and industrial price sheets.
 He told the Senate Banking com- mittee in prepared testimony there are six major threats to sound dollar. He laid down six point pro- gram for flattening the imitation spiral. Unless we have stabilized economy, unless we hold imitation in check he declared, we cannot mount the defense effort we need.'
 Johnston called for removal of one price ceiling = the $10,000 limit on fines which can be assessed against violators of the Defense Production Act. Economic mobilization author ity stems from this act. Johnston called the $1O,000 maximum fine "an invitation to try to get away With bigger pickings.y
 Johnston was called before the committee in behalf of the admin istration's request for extension and broadening of the Production Act. It expires June 30.
 Farm, industrial and landlord earnings must all be levelled off together. Johnston said, if we are to have completely rounded, inte- grated, sensible economical stabiliz- ation program"
 The threats to the sound dollar which Johnston outlined include:
 l. The expected injection of one billion dollars weekly into the coun- try's economic bloodstream when defense spending goes into high gear later this year
 2. "Milk-it-dry" profits, price and wage demands.
 3. Rising food prices.
 He proposed that Congress pro- vide six remedies, including.
 "Pay-as-we-go" taxation to pump spending money out of circulation.
 2. Pay-as-we-go credit policies to avoid credit which merely al- lows more people and more busi- nesses to bid for a tightening sup ply of goods -"
 3. Increased savings - income not spent does not put pressure on prices ."

Staie Department Giving 0ui 0id 00iidi Dope of Alaska
 To Ru5sia, Cain Learns

WASHINGTON, May 15 = lR - Senator Cain (R-WasiD says the State Department has confirmed that it is providing Russia with in- formation on Alaska but it. isn't what you'd describe as up-to-date dope.
 It's all information and records on the Territory prior to 1867.
 Cain told Seattle Post-Intel- ligencer correspondent about it. The senator had asked the State De- partment about a report that Soviet Russia was requesting and getting the information.
 A State Department official re- piled that the United States is obli- gated under the convention of 1867, under which Alaska was purchased. The official said the records are micro-film copies of records of the American Company for the period 18O2-1867.
 He said the materials included the following papers: @
 Letters received by the governors general (of Alaska l802-67; letters sent by them; logs of Russian-Amer- ican Go. ships l853-67; journals of exploring expeditions, 1842-64.
 Cain told the reporter the last item interested him particularly be- cause mo doubt the Russians ex- plored Alaska rather thoroughly during the more than half century they occupied and exploited it."

WASHINGTON, May IS - tR - Senator Bridges (R-NHD said today he has asked the House UnAmerican Activities committee to investigate charges that Communist cell has been set up in the Portsmouth, N. H., Navy yard.
 A spokesman for Bridges said the charges have been investigated by various Federal agencies since 1947, but so far as he knows none of them has ever made public report of it's findings.
 He said the inquiries were made by the Federal Bureau of Investiga- ton, the Senate Armed Services committee and the Navy Depart ment.
 Bridges request to the House committee was made in response to demands by the New Hampshire and Maine American Legion depart ments for a new inquiry.

BIG BUILDUp
 OF CHINESE
 |5REp0RTED
Large Units of Communists Are Forming in Rdin-
 Drenched Sections
By Associated Press

n-drenched Chinese troops plodded south through Centra Korean mud today in their buildup for new offensive.
 Spearheads of a growing Red force facing the center of the 100-mile LIN line were reported 12 miles south of the 38th Parallel.
 LIN patrols spotted Communists in units of 500 or 600 slogging through the hills east of Kapyong. The U. s. 9th Army did not indi- cate how close they were to LIN lines.
 But no fighting was reported from this area. Clashes elsewhere on the rainswept battle line were between groups of 100 or 200.
 The 9th Army said the Reds east of Kapyong were south of the Puk- han river. This would put them 35 to 40 miles northeast of Seoul and roughly IS miles northwest of Hong chon, LIN base on the Central front < 24-Hour Warning
 An Allied officer said well pro- tected LIN positions and restless pa- trols probably would insure about 24 hours warning before the Chinese hit in strength.
 A Central front briefing officer said the weather probably would speed up the expected Red offensive about two days. The strike generally is expected next week.
 This is their meat" one officer commented. .'The Chinese can do lot of moving under these clouds without being seen from the air. They are undoubtedly taking advan- tage of it."
 Bomb Supply Center
 B-29s were out Tuesday despite heavy weather. They bombed the Sariwon supply center, above the Western front, by radar.
 On the Western front 10 Allied soldiers - eight Americans and two Turks -- returned to their own lines after being released by Chinese. They were taken prisoner April 25 in the Reds first spring offensive. AP Correspondent John Randolph said all told of comparatively good treatment by their captors. They said they were told never again to fight the Chinese, and released. Fighting Washed Out Rain washed out most fighting Tuesday.
 An 8th Army briefing officer said 1 500 Communists were killed or wounded Monday.
 The great debate" in Korea among LIN officers centers around the question whether the Reds have mustered enough men and equip mcnt to drive the Allied forces into the sea. Some officers believe they have. Others say the Chinese never ---------------

U. }. IS NOT READY FOR
 SHOWDOWN
Gen. Bradley Gives Views on Red China, Russia,
 World War III Threat

WASHINGTON. May IS - tR --I Gen. Omar N. Bradley testified to- day the United States is not ready for a showdown" with Russia and should not risk world conflict by adopting Gen. Douglas MacArthur's Korean war proposals.
 Making plain he considers Russia to be this country's real foe, Brad ley said MacArthur's proposals for direct blows at Red China would involve us in the wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time and with the wrong enemy"~--
 Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told senators he knows some critics are impatient" with the administration plan to fight limited war in Korea and are calling for showdown" with the Soviet Union Bradley then added:
 Military Viewpoint
 From a purely military viewpoint, this is not desirable. We are not in the best military position to seek a showdown, even if it were the nations desire to forfeit the chances for peace by precipitating total war" Bradley also said the joint chiefs top military planners of the Army. Navy and Air Force - believe Mac Arthur's proposals would increase "the risk ofAglo5aI war; ss f1S declared, eoJ. that they are in a better position than Macarthur to assess the risk of general war and to judge of the country's military resources.
 Bradley forecast that some critics would say, Why are the Joint Chiefs of Staff advertising the fact that we are not militarily in po- sition to have a showdown" with Russia.
 Capabilities Known
 Our capabilities are not unknown CO UIl6 OOiilIlluillolo, llC WCiiO oii.
 They are apt students of military power, and fully realize that al- though we are not prepared to de- liver any ultimatum, we could hurt them badly if they attacked us or our friends. '"They also know that with our potential, and the strength of our Allies, in the long run they could not win a war with United States that is alert, and continuously pre- pared"
 Gl0bal Strategy
 Bradley said the administrations "global strategy is paying off and see no reason to let impatience alter it in the Far East" linen he de- clared: Certainly the course of action we are pursuing has avoided total war which could only bring death and destruction to millions of Amer jeans, both in the United States and on the battlefield"

WASHINGTON. = General Hoyt Vandenberg, the Nations NO. l airman, has sounded a private warning during talks inside the Pentagon building that the worst threat to American cities is not from Europe but Siberia.
 This is flat contradiction ol General MacArthur's contention that Russia cannot wage war against the United States from Si- beria.
 We have heard quite often that the defense of western Europe IS the defense of the United States, Vandenberg warned. Now that IS true in some phases, but it surely isn't true of air power, because from bases in Siberia, the Russians can cover with present Soviet bombers a much greater area than can be covered today from western Europe"

 UNITY IS
 DEMANDED
MobiIizer Wilson Takes Rap af Congress-TaIks
 10 IndustriaIisfs

WASHINGTON, May IS = R - Pleading for American unity, Mo- bilization Director Charles E. Wilson today decried the 'foolishness like what's been going on up on Capitol Hill, where some of our leading gen. erals are on the pan"
 Wilson told the 1851 Industry Armed Forces conference that American squabbling over military and foreign policy must certainly be wonderful music to the ears of the Russians"
 Helping Communists
 He spoke of the possibility that publication of documents revealed in congressional hearings might help the Communist enemy in decoding secret messages.
 The mobilization chief said he has reached the conclusion that the na- tion's mobilization isn't going to be as long a job as I had thought-1 we have some unity in this country"
 Attainment of unity, he said, might mean cutting out some of the foolishness like what's going on up on Capitol Hill.'
 Addressing 1000 industrialists, re- presenting six national associations of military contractors, Wilson said:
 Music to Russians
 What you people are doing isn't music to Russian ears.
 Wilson predicted that the indi- cated speed of rearmament probably will mean increasing business dis location in the last half of this year and early next. But the prob lems should taper off about year from now, he said.
 The mobilizer punched his finger at the industry group to emphasize this enjoinder: Don't hoard"
 Wilson said it could be almost fatal" to the munitions effort if in- dustry piles up big idle stocks of scarce materials.
