The children expressed a desire
to remain together among their
relatives and chums.

Place Of Women in the Crisis
National Conference Scheduled Here in April
To Study Indignation Into Mobilization Picture

She criticized "the folly Of q
national policy of discussing
manpower In a national emer-
gency as though 1t we're only
male-power." Such an attitude.
she said, put women in the
category of q national luxury
instead of an available asset"
The women'S armed services
on which Mrs. Horton is so
formidable an expert will Of
course be included in the
planned conference. Senator
Johnson's preparedness SUBJ
committee has already recog-
nized they must be expanded:
its proposed legislation removes
existing limitations on the size
Of those services.
Women interested in the
problem have also noted with
some apprehension that the Air
Force seems to be going its own
way in expansion efforts. a way
which has some strong social
and self glorif1cation overtones.
They are certain that competi-
ton Of this sort between the
services cannot help them win
public acceptance.
Women's colleges take seri-
ously the doctrine of women's
responsibilities: they recognize
also that as a practical matter
they may be adversely affected
by the higher taxes on income.

exactitude because Of It's very
nature.
In It's investigations the Tru-
man committee occasionally
delved into the field of "infiu-
ence." Once was In the case Of
Thomas G. Corcoran, previously
highly connected in the Roose-
welt New Deal, who had left the
Government for the private
practice of law and was active
in connection with some mat
tiers that came within the Tru-
man committees purview. But
this inquiry was not very thor
ough. Tommy Corcoran had
influential friends in the adj
ministration and also on the
committee. among them the
committees chief counsel. Hugh
Fulton, who had been a protege
Of Mr.. Corcoran In the Govern
ment. It was at the one-day
hearing into the ex-New Deal
lawyers activities that he told
the committee, with perhaps
pardonable pride, that he would
not touch a case for less than
S., 900.
After Harry Truman became
President word was passed out
by White House aides that the
White House door would not be
open to Tommy Corcoran in the
new administration. Fashions
in favorites change. New faces
appear, with new connections.
But the system goes on.

Some Mi|itory Experts Agree That
Sea Plus Air Power Is Our Best Bet

A number Of qualified Army.
Navy and Air Force officers
agree with some Of the views
expressed last Friday night
by former President Herbert
Hoover. They believe that q
build-up OF American air and
naval forces to maximum
strength would do more than
anything else to defend the free
world.
The most important point
which cannot be intelligently
discussed at present is the ques-
ton of timing on the part Of
the U. s. s. r. Nobody can
fathom the minds Of the men in
the Kremlin. II Moscow de-
cides to risk q full-scale war
this year. there is little hope.
regardless of how fast we and
our allies try to build up our
ground forces. of saving a major
portion Of Western Europe.
Gen. Eisenhower himself is
said to be skeptical over our
chances Of resisting the Red
armies, If they are ordered to
move westward this summer.
The best we can hope for Is to
withdraw across the Rhine the
American, British and French
divisions now stationed in Ger
many.
The rearmament program,
as envisaged at present by the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
cation, is predicated on the
hope that Russia will not strike
before 1858. BY that time the
ground forces Of the Western
coalition are expected TO total
some so divisions. This army,
supported by adequate stra-
tegic and tactical air forces,
could defend Western Europe
without much trouble. But the
question is whether Russia will
wait until we are fully prepared.
The main difference between
the concept Of former Presi-
dent Hoover and that Of the adj
ministration Is over the question
Of attempting to defeat Russia
on her own territory with
ground forces. The concept Of
the Joint Chiefs Of Staff and
Of Gen. Eisenhower appears to
be that the Atlantic alliance,
being q defensive organization,
will not take the offensive
as the best defense. In support
Of his contention Mr.. Hoover
points out that Hitler. with some
$50 divisions. failed lamentably
In his attack against the vast
Soviet territory. And Russia is
much stronger today than 1t
was in 1941 and 1912.
Administration spokesman say
that since our plans are purely
defensive, so Western divisions
would be ample to absorb the
shock of any amount Of Red
forces.
The debates which viii occur
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1951-02-12

in the next few weeks over the
question of whether to send
ground forces-and how many
to Europe may be purely aca-
denic If Stain decides to strike
this year. Even II Congress
agrees to send an unlimited
number of divisions across the
Atlantic, all we shall be able to
rush over in the next six months
will be six divisions. This is a
drop in the bucket when we con-
slider that our Western Euro
pean allies, under the most ia
yorable circumstances, will not
be able to muster within the
same period an equal additional
number Of ground forces.
We talk glibly about an Amer
lean Army Of 4 million men.
Few people realize that upkeep
OF such an army, exclusive of
weapons and war materials
which must be used either in
combat training or actual fight
ing, will cost about $40 billion a
year. This is based on last years
estimates, which must be re-
vised upward because Of the
rising cost Of living.

A national conference of
women to give the Government
light and leading on the prob
lem Of womanpower during the
national emergency will take
place here In April.
Presidents of the principal
women's colleges and women
leaders in politics and civic Or
CARNATIONS are cooperating
with DR.. Arthur s. Adams of
the American Council of Edu-
cation on the arrangements. A
wide. variety of sponsorship is
being sought in the hope of ar
irving at genuinely national
solutions.
The first goal will be to iden-
tify the total problem; then the
national solutions will be
sought. Initiators of the con-
ference start with but one fixed
premise: Women have q con-,
tribution to make and 1t should
be intelligently planned on the
whole front. military. social and
economic.
Mrs. Mildred McAfee Horton.
World War II commander Of
the Waves and former presi-
dent of Wellesley College, put
trenchantly this point of view
In an address last weekend adj
vocating drafting Of women for
military service.

They see no reason why the
Government cannot help out
with programs like the Nays
Viz program for boys. which
would train their students for
the technical jobs women will
be called upon increasingly to
do.
DR.. Vannevar Bush for
example says women could run
the entire radar network here
as British women did In war
time. Existing schools could
readily train them with some
Government aid. DR.. Bush Is
firmly of the opinion as are
educators that the alert Ameri-
can girl should not do mere
busy work" In this crisis but
should be directed into genu-
inely productive channels.
Aside from the purely mill
tary, there Is the really bigger
and more difficult question of
how to mobilize women against
the social evils of a war period
like inadequate schools and hos
pitfalls. juvenile delinquency. etc.
AS Agnes Meyer demonstrated
in her brilliant ne-woman cru
SADIE, this was much neglected
field In World War II and an
appalling price was paid by the
American home for that neglect.
The proposed conference will
give substantial attention to 1t.

The Case for Biz Land Armies
Ground Troops Required to Hold Air Base
The Combination of All Arms is Essential

ahead Of the already obsolete
conceptions of five years ago
with respect to the usual opera
tions Of. land armies. it is per-
tinent to quote one paragraph
from q copyrighted interview
last week in U. s. News and
World Report in which Gen.
Collins, Chief of Staff of the
United States Army. said:
1.-THE guided missile also will
eventually carry an atomic
warhead which will be a great
asset that I think can ultimately
be used perhaps for the defense
Of Europe. because the guided
missile can be brought in with
considerable accuracy under
certain conditions, relatively
close to your troops"
At another point in the ex-
tended interview the general
said that 200 Communist
divisions are the equivalent Of
only 100 American-type divi-
sions and that while 20 of our
divisions wouldn't be enough.
the new weapons make 1t pos
sible for him to say: you don't
have to match division for divi-
sion"
Mr.. Hoover was quite right
when he declared that the
American people should have
more information. but 1t is also
true that laymen who are think
ing solely of the number of
divisions of land armies In
measuring our strength. and
who fail to see the overall pic
ture in terms Of a combined air
power, sea power and land
power with new atomic weapons
for each armed service are not
really informed on what 1851
warpower can do.
The question Of expense is
frequently mentioned but 1t Is
at best only relative. How much
money would the American
people pay today to prevent a
third world war? The result
can hardly be attained at q bar
gain price, but where liberty
and survival are at stake the
value of money itself is also
relative. Imitation Is bad. but
defeat and enslayement are
much worse.

army well supported by air and
naval forces can fight an enemy
which is vastly superior In num-
bers. Thus. from the point OF
view of defensive strategy as
envisaged by the Atlantic ma
tons, a strong air and naval
force can do much to Offset the
long-range aims Of an aggressor.
The very crucial question
which no amount Of debate or
argument in this country can
solve is whether the Russians
will strike before plans have
been complete for creation Of inn
portant Western ground forces.
It Is a question Of whether they
will give US time to get ready.
In any case. the consensus Of
qualified men is that America
can help best by becoming q vast
arsenal for all the free nations
which are willing to resist Mos
COW and by organizing as quickly
as possible the best and largest
air and naval striking force ever
known in history.
If time permits, token ground
forces. principally for morale
purposes, would be useful In the
present defensive preparations
of the Western planners.

ing Congress. They are almost,
in effect, "untouchables."
They go on serenely undis-
turbed, safe from the limelight,
year after year. with only occa-
sional exceptions. Con: ress
justifies itself as a crusading in
stitution for the public interest
in other and usually more sen
sational ways. 1t goes into right
eous furies, for instance. about

five per centers" who 70 an

or claiming they can. 1t fumes
piously about gamblers who OPP
crate in Chicago, or Cleveland,
or New York, or New Orleans.
Those are indeed necessary &C
tivities in the public interest
and are not being discounted.
In dealing with the "infiu-
ence" business, too, 1t is not
always easy to distinguish in
the case of lawyers between
influence" and legitimate busi-
ness. Some do both, and some
times influence" as such merely
opens the way for a good and
sound case. Government Is a
complex affair and those who do
business with it often require
bona fide legal advice in con-
forming with procedures and
regulations.
The only restrictions in effect
in Government are regulations
in most Government depart
ments and agencies. though not
all, forbidding practice before
any such department or agency

In his criticism Of the Senate

fly from here to Europe and
back carrying the atom bomb;
but every military man familiar
with the general strategy Of to-
day knows that this Is an in
itial stage and that the second
stage will require repeated and
sustained sorties from overseas
bases integrated with land and
sea operations.
Another fallacy which seems
to permeate the Taft Hoover
addresses is that America should
wait for an attack before start
ing q large expeditionary force
to Europe. True the North
Atlantic Pact literally doesn't
obligate us to aid until an at
tack comes, but American citi-
zenS would not for a moment
want to wait till Europe is at
tackled and Russia is on the
march to begin build-up of
resistance, actual or potential.
To deter an attack by assem-
bling an adequate force is an
implied obligation Of any treaty
Of mutual defense.
There are some good points
in both the Taft and Hoover
speeches such as the necessity
for thorough consideration Of
the problem Of getting congress
sional authority to send large
bodies of troops to Europe and
of assuring that proportionate
contributions Of manpower will
be made by the Europeans. But
this is q far different question
from that which confronts our
military chieftains.
Plainly the American people
must entrust to their RESPONSE
BILE military chiefs the task of
formulating a basic strategy.
1t is not for laymen to say how
many troops shall compose q
division or how many divisions
are necessary to ward of an
attack. 1t is for Congress to
decide whether or not to take
the advice of the military and,
If the Nation does not have faith
in its military advisers, no mill
tary program which is evolved
out Of partisan debate in the
halls of Congress can win the
confidence Of the country. To
illustrate the point as to how
far military science has run
