Lack of Water Quickly
FutuI to YOUNG Mink

MINNEAPOLIS.-Fur ranchers
have found that although a man
may live without water for about
IL days. three days without water
is almost sure to be fatal to a
mink.
Many young mink are likely to
die if deprived of water for a
single day. In a recent test young
mink watered seven times day
grew IL per cent heavier thar
those watered only three times
a day. And pelts of male mink
were 2 inches longer because of
more frequent watering.

New Metal Analysis

AUSTIN, Texas.-University of
Texas scientists have developed
new methods for analyzing plati-
mum metals that are expected to
save United States industry many
man hours spent in testing.
Researchers analyze four prin-
cipal, platinum metals by using a
spectrophotometer. With the in
strument they measure the inten-

cial solution in which the alloy
has been dissolved, they can de-
termine how much light the plati-

Administration Setback on Oil
TideIonds Issue Points Up Some Cross Currents
Which Are StoIemotine Legislative Program

A snappy closed session of
the Senate Interior and Insular
Affairs Committee points up
some of the cross currents which
are effectively stalemating the
administration legislative pro-
gram.
In it Majority Leader McFar-
land voted with four Repub-
licans and two Southern Demo-
Gratis to give the administration
a setback on the tidelands oil
issue. Two Republicans from in

sided with administration forces
were absent. They could not

McFarland's detection.
The two Southerners whom
Senator Mcfarland joined in the
voting were placed on the COM
mittee after he was elected
leader with the almost unan-
tmouS support of the Southern
bloc. They are Senators Long
OF Louisiana and Smathers Of
Florida. AS Coastal State Sen
ators, they were dead certain to
oppose Federal ownership of
tidelandS, in fact both were on
record to that effect, Mr.. Long

Macarthur Firinq Facts Barred
Bradley Testifies Different Method Should Be Used
In Relieving General of For Eqst Commend
David Lowrence:

Now the truth about how Gen.
Macarthur was fired begins to
come out.
With commendable candor,
Gen. Bradley, chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, revealed
in his testimony that he thinks
a different method of relieving
Gen. Macarthur of his COM
mand should have been adopted.
He made these significant dis
closures:
/. That the Joint Chiefs of
Staff did not know what the
method of changing the COM
mand would be nor the timing
of it.
2. That he told the Joint Chiefs
that the President was con-
cerned about something on April
5-the day Gen. MacArthur's
letter to Representative Martin
became public-and would prob
ably ask for a military opin-
ion."
8. That someone at the White
House or the State Department
told him the President was
concerned"
4. That the Joint Chiefs re-
sponded as individuals and not
by a formal vote to a request
for their view. and this was an
expression Of opinion that un-
der the circumstances a change
of command should be made.
Thus the Joint Chiefs were,
in effect, told that the Presi-
dent wanted to remove Mac
Arthur and they were asked to
60 along or to offer their dis
sent. They concurred. as all

but lack, in various degrees, nee
essary modern military equip
ment.
This can be available from the
United States. Unfortunately.
the British and French govern
ments are formally opposed to
any assistance for Spain. They
are equally reluctant to include
the Turks and Greeks in the
Atlantic pact. London and
Parts have consistently opposed
the conclusion of a mutual de-
fense agreement between Tur-
key. Greece and the United
States, although both Mediter-
ranean countries have at this
time a far more effective and
larger military force than the
entire Western European group.

strategy. A truce acceptable to
Peiping would merely give the
Chinese and Russians additional
time to increase their striking
power in Asia and the Pacific at
a time when Americas attention
is concentrated on other areas.
American people are warned
by the administration that our
security can be destroyed if
Europe is unable to resist
Russian onslaught. And Europe,
we are told, is still weak. The
latter statement is true. Accord
ing to some observers. Europe
has less military power than it
had a year ago. This is due to
the following facts:
/. Our continental allies have
been tagging in their efforts to
increase their defense potential
because of political considera-
tlons; and
2. France was compelled to
divert three divisions from her
metropolitan forces to protect
her possessions in Morocco,
Tunisia and Indo-C China.
Today France has only six
trained divisions on the conti-
nent of Europe. It had nine
last year. Britain is anxious
over developments in the Middle
East, where her oil sources are
being threatened by the clever
irtrigues of the U. s. S. r. She
has practically lost her holdings
in Iran. Iraq is now equally en-
dangered. The Labor Govern
ment feels that under present
conditions it may have to make
a show of force in those areas.
Meanwhile, the American di-
visions which are being sent
across the Atlantic will be
barely sufficient to make up the
deficiencies caused by the lack
of enthusiasm among the At
lantic pact nations to meet the
commitments for 1851.
However, Europe could have
in very short time more than
one million trained men at her
disposal if it were not so reluc-
tant to include in the defense

Joint Chiefs Of Staff" The
record now shows that they
were asked to concur and they
did concur in the change OF
command, but that they did not
recommend summary dismissal.
The Bradley testimony, in
answer to questions from Sena-
tors, made it clear that there
were no disagreements between
the Joint Chiefs of Staff and
Gen. Macarthur in carrying
out military directives and that
they themselves. ip their Janu-
ary IL message concerning pos
sible evacuation of Korea,
steered clear of all decisions on
so-called political" or policy"
questions.
General Bradley in his testi-
mony disclosed another impor-
tant piece of information. It
was that the United States
Government did not have any
information from any reliable
source-that is, from its own
intelligence or foreign govern
ment intelligence - indicating
an intention by Red China to
intervene in Korea. So Presi-
dent Truman probably put un-
due emphasis on his statement
to a press conference recently
that he had relied primarily on
Gen. MacArthur's prediction
that the Red Chinese would not
intervene. Little by little, the
facts are slowly coming out.

Constantine Brown:

The United States has two
equally vulnerable frontiers, the
Pacific and the Atlantic.
If the Russians were to "blitz"
Western Europe or the Mediter-
ranean area from the Adriatic
to the Black Sea, our defenses
would be seriously weakened.
But by the same token. If they
succeeded in keeping our forces
on the defensive in Korea and
at the same time were to launch
a successful attack on Japan
and Okinawa, our strategic posi-
ton in the Pacific would be in
greater danger than when the
japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
According to Gen. Macarthur.
the U. S. S. R., while having
important forces in the Far
East, has great logistical prob
lens in any sustained opera
tions. The Joint Chiefs of Staff
say that the presence of large
Soviet land, air and naval forces
in that area is SO threatening
that unless we exercise utmost
caution in our handling of the
Chinese Communists, Russia
may be provoked. In Gen. Mar
shall's words, she will not permit
+her principal ally on the Asiatic
mainland to be defeated.
We are bearing the burden Of
war almost alone at present in
the Pacific. American forces in
Japan are so negligible that it
is doubtful they they can with
stand Soviet onslaught against
Hokkaido or Okinawa. The bulk
of our forces is fighting in Korea
and could not be deployed in
time to save the two extremi-
ties of the japanese islands.
The fundamental principle of
Gen. MacArthur's strategy is to
take a calculated risk in an at
tempt to defeat the Chinese ag-
gression in Korea before the
Russians can gather more force
and war materials to extend
their operations in the Pacific
to the lifeline of Americas de-
fense. Even a cease-fire agree
ment would not now be to our
advantage, according to the

handled by Interior and In
Sular Affairs statehood for
Alaska and Hawaii. However,
Senator Long supported Hawai-
ian statehood. AS a practical
matter this accomplishes little
since statehood must be a dou-
BILE dose or nothing. Hawaii is
Republican territory; Alaska,
Democratic. No Congress will
take one in without the other

known as tidelands oil. Actu-
ally it is a miSnomer since the

the narrow strip over which the
tide ebbs and flows nor in bays,
inletS and harbors. What it
does claim are rights over the
stretch from low water mark to
the three-mile limit and the
continental shelf beyond it.
President Truman has SO far
beaten back efforts by the
States to get back the so-called
tidelandS by Congressional
sanction. But he has not been
