It was refreshing to read your art

Berryman's courageous and Intelligent
approach to the problem that besets all
artists; namely, whether to paint like
bunch of sheep and follow the racketeer
dictates of few museum directors,
patrons and art dealers, or to paint with
complete honesty without turning out
cheap limitations of Paul Klee, Leger or
Picasso.
One nationally known critic recently
pointed out in her column that a cam
paign is under way to sell the work of
a deceased abstract painter who did
nothing but copy the style and COM
positions of other abstractionists. 1t is
an insult to adult intelligence for any

Donald H. Clark, Nor thwe t

most persistent hobbies" is to
study Scandinavians, their back
ground and influence in the Pacific

AS a nOn-Scandinavian, he may
be regarded as rather impartial
observer, and one who has also
warmed up to the subject with
amazing candOr.
By a happy coincidence he has
developed this Scandinavian inter-
est'largely through his work as an
expert in the lumber industry.
And of course, as Clark readily
discovered, the mighty saga of
the Pacific Northwest lumber in
dustry is closely linked with the
Scandinavian immigration. Add to
that Clark's interchangeable interest
in Northwest history, and one can
easily surmise how we'll he has
been able to trace multiple effects
of that immigration, and where
many of the early-day Scandina-
VANS settled.

Scandinavian are too reticent
about themselves" Clark notes,
adding that it takes an outsider"
to appreciate their influence. In a
talk before the Swedish Cultural

went as far as to say that the

empires in Washington" He refer

y. S. Is Military Agent for u. N.
Testimony Of Joint Chiefs Appears 'ToIor-Mode
To Fit Trunon,s Decision to Fire Macarthur

Bradley had protested publicly
against the strategy Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who had drawn
a line in Germany beyond which
American and British forces
were not to advance. because
the Russians did not want them
to. But If they had protested as
loudly as Gen. Macarthur has
done recently. we might not to-
day find ourselves in our pres
ent predicament.
It might have been bad for
military discipline If the mill
tary men who accompanied
President Roosevelt to Yalta
had protested publicly against re-
creation of the Russian Asiatic
empire at our expense. An alert
public In the United States
might have prevented the sur
render of Manchuria, Sakhalin
and Kurile Islands to the Sow
lets and We might not find our
selves now in a deadly and
costly war in Korea.
The diplomatic reasons for the
removal of Gen. Macarthur are
equally ominous., Regardless of
official denials that any of our
allies had a hand in that de-
ciSion, there are strong indi-
cations that the British, French
and Indians have been warning
the State Department that so
long as Gen. Macarthur re-
maineo in command "un-
checked" he might take actions
which their governments could
not possibly approve.
These governments more than
limited to the Secretary of State
and our ambassadors in London
and Paris that if Gen. Mac
Arthur's strategic concept-an
attempt to strike decisively in
Korea-was adopted by Wash

warnings were conveyed to Mr..
Truman and fell on a receptive

Evening star., 1951-05-31
Constantine Brown:

Many members of both part
les in the Senate committee
which is investigating the dis
missal of Gen. Macarthur are
becoming convinced that Presi-
dent Truman was prompted in
his action by political-diplo-
matte reasons rather than mill
tary considerations.
Defense Secretary Marshall
and his chiefs of staff made
earnest efforts to prove that
Gen. Macarthur was removed
in the interests of military di-
scipline and because his strategy
was. in their opinion. dangerous
to the overall global strategy.
This thesis, supported by a
wealth of arguments, has con-
vinced only those who wanted
to be convinced. To those who
have kept an open mind the
testimony of the defense sec
retary and the Joint Chiefs
appeared tailored" to fit Presi-
dent Truman's decision. In
other words, the Chief Executive
decided to get rid of Gen. Mac
Arthur and the Pentagon top
men found the arguments to
support the dismissal.
Mr.. Truman became actively
hostile to the former supreme
commander because he publicly
opposed the present strategy. as
conceived by the civilian author-
tiles. That strategy is based on
the belief that the Chinese
will give up because Of their
losses. 1t may be that, strictly
according to the book, gen.
eral-regardless of his ability
should not publicly oppose his
civilian commander -in-chief
and should ask to be relieved if
he thinks the strategy is wrong.
But in this day and age the
civilians who contitutionally con-
troll the armed forces frequent

prominent headlines in the
press.
It has row been brought out
in the testimony that the only
message that went to Gen. Mac
Arthur was dated March 20 and
this merely said that the State
Department was planning
presidential announcement" No
mention was made of the terms
of that proposed announce
ment and no message ever was
sent to Gen. Macarthur to
advise him whether the Presi-
dent eventually accepted or
adopted the State Depart-
ment'S plan or what the
terms of it happened to be.
Since he was then the United
Nations commander it would
seem that Gen. Macarthur.
should have been advised of
such a vital matter affecting
his command.
The following from the official
record. however, shows what
did happen:
Senator Knowland-Did sI
understand your testimony ear
lier in the morning to indicate
that with the exception of the
message that was sent out about
March 20 advising Gen. Mac
Arthur that the State Depart
ment was planning a presi-
dental message that so far as
you personally know he re-
ceived no other specific infor-
nation regarding that mes
sage?
Gen. Collins-That is my
understanding, yes, sir"
Later Gen. Collins read into
the record the text of a Joint
Chiefs of Staff document fur
niShed to the Senate commit
tee which made public for the
first time a paraphrase of the
terms of the proposed armistice
in Korea. The fact that no
such message was sent should
have been known to the Joint
Chiefs because of telegram

1t has seemed the more re-

men believe the gas company

Then there is the case of the
Phillips Petroleum Co. against
the people of Wisconsin. Through
a bit of legal legerdemain the
Commission seems to have made
certain that the charge Of ex-'
ceSsive rates In Wisconsin cannot
even be tested for three years.
It won't be easy for the Presi-
dent to correct the condition
that has developed. It will be
very difficult. First he must find
the man for chairman. Then he
must obtain his confirmation by
the Senate.
The accepted rumor around
the commission is that Senator
Kerr has demanded the right to
name the new man. as q reward
for his early and earnest
championship of the President
in the row over Gen. Macarthur.
This would be an ironic turn of
events and it is not necessarily
true. A little more plausible is
the report that the political
powers in the oil and gas pro-
ducing States-Texas, Okla.
homa and Louisiana-are insist
ing that the chairman come
from one of those States. In
any case Senator Kerr and his
colleagues from that section
swing a good deal Of weight In
