With two-thirds of Korea now
destroyed. its social and economic
rehabilitation poses a colossal
problem" the Women's National
Press Club was told yesterday by
j. Donald Kingsley. United Ma
tions agent general for Korean
reconstruction.
Mr.. Kingsley, who returned
Tuesday night from Korea. point
ed out that only a minimum re-
lief program can be carried out
at the present time.
The immediate program. he said,
includes bringing in food so the
refugees won't starve now; bring
ing in fertilizer so food can be
produced for next year. and bring
ing In cotton for the manufac-
ture of textiles for clothing.
Medical supplies, technical as
sistance and housing also are
among immediate needs. accord
ing to the speaker, who said that.
fortunately, the type Of housing
built in Korea requires little i'm
ported material.
MIR. Kingsley, who also is di-
rector general of the international
Refugee Organization, described
the Korean refugees as the most
completely destitute and pitiful"
he has ever seen, and the destruc-
ton in Korea beyond anything
he has seen in any other country.
Putting the number whose
homes have been destroyed at
3.5 million. Mr.. Kingsley said the
Koreans are doing what they can
to help. OF the 250,000 refugees
in Pusan, only about $4,000 are
being cared for in camps, he re-
ported, while the rest are being
cared for in the homes of Ko-
reans.

Price Is Found
.Over-CeHing at
freeze Center

Office of Price Sterilization en-
ployes yesterday discovered an
over-ceiling price. Guess where?
Right in the building where the
price freeze was made-World
War I Tempo Building c." in the
Mall.
This is the way it happened ::
Miss Joan Lee, a secretary in the
OPS information section, as is her
daily custom. went to the Govern
ment Services, Inc, cafeteria in the
building to get jug of coffee for
the presSroom reporters.
When she offered the usual
Is cents in payment for the five
cup jug, the cashier, according to
Miss Lee, said she was sorry but
the price now was 80 cents. Miss
Lee protested. asking the cashier
if GSI didn't know a price freeze
was on. Then she left the quarter
and walked out with the coffee.
Other OPS employees had similar
experiences when they went for
jugs of coffee. However, cafe
terra aide said that coffee by the
cup was still selling at the old
price of 5 cents.

that so far as he knew the former,

main in the Cabinet.
Protest Choice of Flemming.
Four labor leaders yesterday
spoke out in support of Mr.
Tobin's efforts to win policy con-
troll over the manpower program.
In a letter to Mr.. Wilson. they
protested vigorously the appoint
ment of DR.. Flemming.
The leaders were AFL President
William Green, CIO President
Philip Murray; George E. Leighty,
of the Railway Labor Executives
Association and A. j. Hayes, .presi-
dent of the International Asso-
citation of Machinists. They wrote
Mr.. Wilson as members of the
United Labor Committee.
Their protest apparently was
intended to persuade Mr.. Wilson
to give DR.. Flemming only con-
sultative powers while leaving di-
rection and real control of man
power in the hands of Secretary
Tobin.
Then it was revealed that Cyrus
S. Ching will soon step down as
chairman of the Wage Stabiliza-
ton Board. He will return to the
time direction of the Fed
eral Mediation and Cancellation
Service whose activities are to be
tied in close with wage board
operations.
Split Delays Policy.
When he was named chairman
by President Truman last October,
Mr.. Ching told friends that he
would stay with the board only
until it was organized and had
drafted a wage control policy.
A split among labor, manage
ment and public members of the
board has delayed drafting of a
full wage policy. They have been
unable to agree on the size of
percentage formula for control Of
pay. However, Mr.. Ching believes
the work will be completed soon
and that he then will resign as
chairman. The size of the board
also is to be expanded from nine
to 18 members.
AS successor to Mr.. Ching, it
was expected the President would
name either w. Willard Wirtz.

does. The expression of the will
of whole people offers far more
certainty than any commitment
by a dictator
I believe very strongly in the
necessity of this Government car
rying out its promises lawfully
made. Whatever project may be
approved by Congress, whether I
agree with it or not, will have my
support in future years. If the
President undertakes to make
promises which he has no right
to make, 1 feel no obligation to
support those promises. There
will never be unity behind the pro-
posal The only path to unity is
to obtain the approval of Con-
gress to a definite program or
agreement relating to the use Of
American armies in Europe in
time of peace.
No one is proposing that we
abandon Europe or run out on
Europe or invite the Communists
to take over Europe. We have
assisted Western Europe continu-
ously for many years. We helped
many of the countries by lend
lease during the war. Many loans
and grants were made after the
war. Under ECA, billions have
been freely given in unprecedented
generosity to build up the eco
nomic life and the industrial po-
tentiality of Western Europe so
that production is approximately
40 per cent over preWar today. We
have appropriated billions to pro-
vide armament with which these
nations may defend themselves,
and no one has questioned that
since it was adopted by
Congress in the military partici-
patton act last year. -.

maintenance in this country OF
Government by the people.
It is argued that no one can
stop the Commander in Chief
from sending the Army anywhere
he wants to send it. This argu-
ment only goes to his power, not
to his right. If he has not the
right. Congress can properly re-
strain him by law or resolution.
I do not think the people in
this country have faith in Presi-
dent Truman's judgment suffi-
GENTLY to entrust him with this
tremendous power to involve the
United States in war. His actions
have been thoughtless and reck-
less and made without consulta-
ton often with those who know
most about the subject. On
Thursday, on one day. he def1ed
Congress to cut a budget which
contains a large increase In nom
defense expenditures when every
authority agrees that these ex-
penses must be cut; he condemned
the leaders of the railroads unions
generally as Russians; he de-
nounced Senator Fulbright's re-
port on the RFC as asinine,
although it was the unanimous
report of the Democrats and Re-
publicans alike who had con-
Quoted a thorough study of the
loose practices and improper po-
litical influence which character
lied many RFC practices. His
personal letters also show lack
of judgment. Yet we are asked
TO surrender to this man complete
power to make snap judgments on
the commitment of millions of
American boys to war in foreign
lands.
Demands Safeguards.
1t is vitally important that the
people let Congress know whether
they approve of this project and
insist that at least it be definitely
limited and safeguarded.
In the first place we should at
least know what the project is. It
has only been made more hazy
and indefinite by the report OF
Gen. Eisenhower. Before his re-
turn I supposed that some
definite program had been worked
out at Brussels.
Today no one knows whether
an agreement was entered into
or not. Gen. Eisenhower tells the
committees that he does not know
whether or not there is any COM
mitment on our part. Congress is
unable to obtain any reliable in
formation on the size of the
united, unified, integrated army
which is to provide for the de-
fense of Europe" We are unable
to find out how many American
divisions are to be contributed to
it. Senator Douglas seems to feel
that the army is to be one of S.
divisions of which we contribute
10. I have heard from high sources
that it is to be approximately so
divisions of which we contribute
Is.
The newspapers report some
talk in the committees of total
army of 40 divisions by the end
of 1852 after two years of prepa-
ration. There has also been some
suggestion that there will be 5
or American divisions in Europe
by the end of 1851. Gen. Eisen-
hover has said that we would
only contribute a minor fraction,
but not major fraction, but this
might mean 80 per cent or 40 per
cent and might amount to mil
lion men before we get through.

handled in one package and be
delayed until an effort is made to
slash the budget.
One of these is Senator George,
Democrat. of Georgia, the chair
man of the tax-handling Senate
Finance Committee. Senator
Georges views have been made
known to Secretary of the Treas
ury Snyder and to Chairman
Doughton of the House Ways and
Means Committee.
The issue may reach a point of
some decision when the Ways and
Means Committee resumes hear
1ngs next week on the Presidents S
request for so-called "quickie'
tax bill to provide for SO billion
in additional revenue. Sentiment
within the committee seems sharp
ly divided on the matter of the
two-package approach, with Re-
publicans lined up almost solidly
in favor of only one tax bill this
year arrived at after a compre-
hensive study of the whole tax
situation.
Senator O'Conor lined himself
up with those favoring the one
package approach.
Sees Staggering Load.
Because of the staggering load
which will be thrust upon the
public the Senator said, Il think
it would be most unwise to rush
through any so-called 'quickie' bill.
Furthermore I think it would be
highly desirable to have the entire
tax question presented to the Con-
gress in one bill so that the law
makers and the general public can
understand exactly the size and
nature of the levies."
Senator O'Conor also called for
a single omnibus appropriation
bill-a procedure recently dis

gram would ad about $25 billion to

Trumans May Attend
Rites for Lincoln at
Memorial Tomorrow

The 142d anniversary of Abra-
ham Lincoln's birth will be cele-
brated in simple ceremonies at
noon tomorrow on the steps of the
Lincoln Memorial.
President and Mrs. Truman are
expected to take part in the trib-
ute to the Civil War Presidents
memory. D
The ceremony is sponsored by
the Military Order of the Loyal
Legion. This will be the 25th year
the organization has held the cere-
nony. Some 40 other patriotic,
civic, fraternal and veterans or
RaIlizations will join in placing
WreathS.
Presiding at the ceremony will
be Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III.
commander of the District chapter
of the order. and Rear Admiral
Reginald R. Belknap, commander
in chief of the order.
The wreath from the District
Commissioners will be placed by
1t. Col. Carlin H. Whitesell. AS
sistant Engineer Commissioner.
Music will be furnished by the
Marine Band under the direction
of Maj, William F. Santelman.
Color bearers and guards of honor
will be furnished by the Army,
Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force.
The ceremony will begin with
the march of participating Or
ganizations up the stairs of the
memorial. Slocum KingSbury,
member of the order, will call the
roll of those placing wreaths and
then read Lincoln's Gettysburg
Address. The ceremony will be
concluded by the march down of
the participating societies with
their colors.
The Military Order of the Loyal
Legion is national organization
of the men descendants of officers
who served in the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps during the Civil
War. It was organized in Phila-
delphia the day after President
Lincoln was assassinated.

ed in doubt. Gen. Eisenhower
stated that there would be 25
French divisions at the end of
1852, but this was Immediately
contradicted by Mr.. Pleven, and
the figure perhaps is Is divisions
on that date. I get the general
impression from Gen. Eisenhower's
broadcast and testimony that we
will contribute 5 or 6 divisions in
1857 including the two already
in Germany, and then wait to
see what the others do. At Brus-
sells it seems to have been con-
templated that there would be
German divisions, but Gen. Eisen-
hover says that the Germans are
out for the present.
There is just as much un-
certainty regarding the nature of
the proposed army and concerning
the status of Gen. Eisenhower
himself. He did not tell the COM
mittee whether he was only
the Presidents representative in
Europe, or whether he was a COM
mander of the new army deriving
his power from the action of nine
governments. 1t seems clear to me
that he is the appointee of the
Atlantic Pact nations if they had
any authority to set up an army,
which I doubt. Perhaps the coun-
ellis action is only recommended
ton. Is this in fact an interna-
tional army. or is it only a loose
grouping of various national
armies? To whom are the Ameri-
can divisions responsible after
they are assigned to this army?
Do they take orders only from
Gen. Eisenhower, or do they take
orders from Gen. Marshall or Gen.
Collins? Can Gen. Eisenhower
overrule the Jiont Chiefs of Staff
on questions of military strategy,
or are they to be superior to him?
In all my experience in Wash
ington, I have never seen an i'm
portant program so confused and
uncertain.

this should be done. 1t stated
clearly in the report of the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committee

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-Partial
tert OF speech By Senator Taft.
Republican, OF Ohio, tonight at
the Illinois Republican Lincoln
Day dinner:
In many respects there is
no difference of opinion in Wash
Iington of the general kind of ac-
ton which is necessary I think it
is agreed in theory at least that
American power and American
safety must be based on an over
whelming superiority on the sea
and in the air in order that we
may have an unasssailable bastion
from which to defend liberty
throughout the world, if neces-
sary.
I believe it is agreed today that
We must give military aid to those
nations throughout the world
which desire to arm themselves
and defend themselves against
possible military aggression. In
some places 1t may be necessary
I to give American sea and air sup
port to countries battling for their
freedom.
believe it is agreed that the
commitment of an American land
army to Continental Asia or Con-
tinental Europe is much more
dubious and dangerous under
taking. I believe also it is agreed
that there must be definite limit
on the overall size of the armed
forces. America. with 6 per cent
of the population of the world,
cannot hope to be supreme in sea
and in the air and on the land.
The expense of such an under
taking would be so great that it
would wreck our own economy and
interfere with the very produc-
ton so necessary to support and
arm the free world.
The Chiefs of Staff themselves
apparently feel today that 3l2
million men is as large a force as
we can hope to support over the
long run: but even such a force
requires, they say. universal mill
tary service for 81 months, the
denuding of farms and industry
of many workers taxes in the
most burdensome form and COM
plete economic control of prices
and wages. I, myself. felt that
3 million is about the limit for
the long pull. and what we may
do now may last 20 years. :.
May Be Issue of Peace or War.
On the decision we make may
hang the issue of peace or war.
On that decision depends the size
of the total armed forces, per-
haps for the next 10 years. On
the size of those forces hangs the
tax burden which must be paid
by the American people during
that period. 1t will determine also
the question whether We must
draft boys of 18 or 1872 or 10 with
all of its effect on education and
industry. Finally. the extent of
credit and price and wage con-
trolls so difficult to enforce and so
burdensome on freedom and prog
ress. will also be measured by the
size of our armed forces and the
economic effort in arming other
countries.
1t is most dangerous to base our
policy or our thinking primarily
on a great integrated army on the
Continent of Europe. The Presi-
dent asserts that he has unlimited
power to commit any number of
American land soldiers to a Euro
pean army under the control of a
council made up of the IL Atlantic
Pact nations, with an American
Evening star., 1951-02-11

commander. unless thlS commit
ment is very severely limited. this
land army becomes our principal
interest; it spreads our energy
thinly over sea and land and air
and inevitably must result in the
neglect of the vital build-up of sea
and air. We see now how the
Korean land force has thrown
practically all of our fighting divi-
sions to one point and weakened
us elsewhere throughout the
world.
Cites Constitution.
What most concerns me is the
claim of the President that he can
commit us to this dangerous prof.
ect without the slightest authority
from Congress or the people. I do
not think that the American peo-
pie have ever faced a more serious
constitutional issue, or one which
in the end may present great
threat to its freedom. The trainers
of the Constitution provided ex-
pressly that only Congress can do
certain things, and we find these
powers in Section of Article l.:
To declare war. grant letters
of marque and reprisal, and to
make rules concerning captures
on land and water;
| To raise and support armies,
but no appropriation of money to
that use that be for a longer term
than two years;
ITO provide and maintain a
navy:
To make rules for the govern
ment and regulation of the land
and naval forces"
| Certainly an obligation to fur
nish armed forces to an inte-
grated force for the defense of
other countries has all the dignity
of treaty, and certainly it is not
within the Presidents power as
Commander in Chief. Certainly it
seems also clear that as Com
mander in Chief he cannot dele
gate his command to a foreign
government, or to 10 foreign gov
ernments, without the approval of
Congress which has full power to
make rules for the Government
and regulation of the land and
naval forces.
Says Authority Is Lacking.
do not say that the Congress
by resolution or the Senate by the
adoption of treaty may not au-
thorize the President to involve US
in war without a Congressional
declaration of war. That Ger
tainly is a debatable question, but
I do say without qualification that
neither the Congress nor the Sen
ate has given any such authority
to the President. A somewhat
similar authority was contem-
plated under the United Nations
Charter which was approved as a
treaty, but the actual authority
to send soldiers to an interna-
tlonal army was limited by Article
43 to the terms of a special agree
ment, and Congress provided that
that agreement must be subject
to approval by Congress.
/ Any other view means that the
President today would have power
to involve the United States in
war in any section of the world
| in his unlimited and arbitrary
discretion, and that Congress in
creating a great American armed
force of 3l2 million men and
drafting every boy of 18 for that
purpose is completely without
power to limit the Presidents S
arbitrary discretion. Merely to
state this proposition should
arouse the undying opposition of
every man who believes in the
