The ease with which Chief

The chief casualty of these
developments is not Alan Valen-

chairman of the National Sc
curity Resources Board. Mr..
Valentine was little known and

Mr.. Symington had been the

the first Air Force Department
with notable notches on his gun,
including the Navy. He is still

The President tells those who
venture to inquire that Mr..

permit him to undertake the
overall mobilization authority.
Politicians declare that business
vetoed him because he had
scared them by insisting they
should forgo profits incident to
war. In a well-reported ex-
change with a National Asso-

the NSRB chairman explained
that normal profits were fair

Congressman Disappointed by Visits
To Europe Ready With Interrogation
Constantine Brown:

Gen. Eisenhower, now on the
last leg of his trip through the
North Atlantic Pact capitals, is
expected soon in Washington.
He will report to President Tru-
man, the Joint Chiefs of Staff
and the joint membership Of the
Armed Services Committees Of
Congress.
The Senators and Representa-
tives who will listen to him In a
secret session hope that the
commander Of the Western
forces In Europe will be frank
and outspoken. They hope that
neither considerations dictated
by the administrations policies
nor his we'll known natural OPP
timism would affect the picture
of Europe's military prepared
ness and willingness to fight.
Thus far, Gen. Eisenhower's
statements to the press in the
capitals he has visited exuded
confidence in the paper"
armies which exist for the time
being in Western Europe. This
is natural. AS an honored guest
he could not do otherwise. Any
word of serious criticism would
have played into the hands Of
the many European opponents
of rearmament and would have
offended citizens Of the coun-
tries he has visited.
There are. however, many
Congressman who, while not
possessing the generals qualif1-
cation. have recently gone
thoroughly into the question Of
Europe's willingness to fight and
make sacrifices similar to those
being made by the American
people for the struggle ahead
Of us. They have returned from
European visits somewhat dis
appointed.
These Senators and Repre-
sentatives have been impressed
by two factors: Cd a feeling on
the part of the Atlantic Pact

Punishment Calling for Reopproisol

drawa1 itself has become politi-
cal as we'll as military. So long
as the Chinese Communists
thought a growing American
opinion strengthened by policies
of the British Commonwealth
of States would result in a vol
untary withdrawal of troops
there was no sense in accepting
the cease fire" proposal. Now,
however, that the American at
titude has stiffened and the high
command here has been per-
mitted to say publicly in posi-
tive terms that we intend to
remain in Korea, the Red
Chinese know the fighting must
continue.
The calculation here now is
that Red China cannot take the
losses or the punishment being
given the flower of her armies
by our air and naval power and
ground forces and that a
change in the political attitude
of Red China soon will emerge.
In the meantime those ma
tions in the U. N. which are
counselling delay and are hesi-
tating to vote for a resolution
condemning Red China as an
aggressor are playing into the
hands of the Red Chinese. If
these nations were really united
behind the resolution, the Red
Chinese would face up to a
serious set of circumstances.
Here is how our high officials
view it:
1. If Red China isn't an ag-
gressor then there is no sense
in maintaining any Allied
troops, including Americans, in
Korea, and the U. N. might
better announce now that in
vasion of Hong Kong, Indo-
China, Japan and the Philip
pines will not be resisted and
that Red China can take them
all at her pleasure.
2. But if Red China is an
aggressor, then the q. N. must
support vigorously the program
to resist aggression. This means
more troops from U. N. men,

which 1t was deprived two years
ago to pigeonhole legislation.
In those long gone days
back in 1923 it was-Southern
Democrats tied up with insur-
gent Western Republicans and a
couple of New Yorkers to effect
a reform by which bills could
be forced to the floor by petition
of $50 members and thus bypass
the Rules Committee. This
coalition held up election of a
Speaker and organization of the
Republican House for days until
they got this reform sponsored
by Representative Crisp of Geor-
gia. 1t was abolished and by
petition of 218, a majority, was
restored in due course when
Democrats returned to power,
as is the custom of majority
parties. But it was victory
for those days, and what fun to
watch!
Over in the Senate in that
same 1923, Republican insur-
gents, led by Senator La Toilette
and the late George w. Norris
of Nebraska, were busy, too.
They teamed up with Democrats
to hold up organization of that
body for days also to prevent
election of a conservative Re-
publican as chairman of the In
terstate Commerce Committee
and, instead, elected a Southern
Democrat. The issue there was
legislation to curb the power Of
the railroads and get cheaper
rates for farm products.
All through that era Repub-
lican insurgents were fighting
constantly and paved the way
for later New Deal reforms.

All of this Mr.. Wilson saw,

reports of the war effort made
by a Senate Investigating COM
mittee headed by Senator Tru-
man of Missouri. All he wanted,

his responsibilities as the Tru-
man committee had urged. He
quoted the committee. at length.
The President squirmed a
little. Naturally his perspective
on the White House has altered
considerably from that of a not
too consequential Senator from
the Midwest. Why he consented
so readily is still his secret. He
had appeared to be rocking
along quite happily with the 60
slow counsels of his rather
motley group of advisers. Per-
haps he was influenced by the
unfortunate coincidence that
profits, prices and the Korean
casualty lists were marching
three abreast, all upward.
Perhaps he thought it might
prove good politics to let busi-
ness have its chance. Some poll
ticians suggest it is and that

the u. N. can content itself
with localizing the air, naval
and ground operations to Korea
itself and wage the battle there
as long as is necessary to bring
Red China to terms.
The whole situation is not
one that need be resolved at
this moment from the military
standpoint. It's the political
side that needs the showdown.
Each month the situation can
be examined in the light of the
progress made by our armies in
Korea toward Furnishing the
aggressor. Meanwhile Red
China runs the risk of counter
attack from within and she will
not be able to supply equipment
to her millions of troops with
out draining Russian sources OF
supply. 1t is getting to be a
pretty costly war from the
Soviet standpoint, too.
So time and this policy of
attrition must eventually bring
a favorable result to the U. N.
The critical decision comes now
in branding Red China an ag-
gressor for, If approved. its Sc
quel will be continued military
pressure until such time as the

which is now much more prob
able than at any time since the
Chinese Intervention began last
October 20.
There is every reason to re-
iterate now the statement made
in these dispatches last June
that the prompt action taken
by the U. N. in general and the
United States in particular in
resisting aggression in Korea
may have truly prevented World
War III from being fought in
the immediate future-and per-
haps from being fought at all.

David Lowrence:

The Flower" of the Red
Chinese army has been taking
such intensive punishment in
Korea that all previous ap-
praisals about the future course
of events there now must be
revised. This is what's really
behind the stay-in-Korea state
ments flowing lately out of the
Far East and Washington.
The general impression here
tofore has been that Red China
has an unlimited number OF
troops ready to be committed
to the fighting in Korea. But
what has been overlooked is
that most of these are unframed
and badly equipped and that it
is risky business for Red China
to take the devastating losses
which she is now taking among
her trained and best-equipped
troops.
The announced decision of
the high command to stay in
Korea is based upon a firm be-
lief that the Red Chinese can
not afford a prolonged action
and that some peaceful out
come must eventually emerge
in which the objectives of the
United Nations in protecting an
independent Korea will be
realized.
It's all q question now of how
long the occupation should last.
Shall it be months or perhaps
years If necessary as in the
case Of the occupation of
Japan? The Red Chinese in
the last few days have shown
an unwillingness to press the
fighting southwark in Korea
and the lull has been variously
interpreted throughout the
world. It could mean that Red
China is up against some top
level decisions too and that last
weeks defiance of the cease
fire" proposal was really an at
tempt to outbluff and out
maneuver the Allies and bring
about, If possible. a voluntary
withdrawal from Korea.
