There are various reasons for
their wariness.
One is Gen. Macarthur him
self. Republicans are intensely
grateful to the glamorous man
who has so suddenly crystal
lized for them Americas frus-
trations with respect to Korea,
the domestic weaknesses Of the
Truman Administration and the
threat of war. But the seasoned
political brains among them
realize they do not know him
well or what to expect Of him
and that they cannot control
him. ff
All politicians are naturally
allergic to dream princes any,
way. These make their con-
facts too directly with the
people and get out Of hand so
easily. " f's'-s --'.s
Many Republicans. too, want
to know more about the Mac
Arthur policy and what. 1t Is
good for besides q stick with
which to whale Harry Truman.
They fear that war-party label
and its possible timeliness when
the election is a great deal closer
than it Is now.
There seems to be very little
belief that Gen. Macarthur him
self will wish to run. It is not
ruled out but it is not expected.
Basically. Republican caution

When I had pulled myself to.

clip but one foot at a time. This
leaves the cat three free feet,

6. Is American public opinion
going to demand an overhauling
Of the whole defense setup in
Washington with particular re-
lationship to the haphazard way
that military advice is disre-
garded or superseded by the
Department of State under the
convenient excuse that this is
all political" and concerns our
allies?
Z. Will the Macarthur propo-
sition be accepted that the ma
ton which furnishes 80 per cent
of the men and resources in a
war should not yield to the de-
cisions of its allies who make
token contributions?
These are the basic issues that
have arisen on the international
front and. in the end, both the
Departments Of Defense and
State will come in for a con-
siderable airing of their methods
Of operation.
The Senate committee hear
ings are. moreover, only a fore
runner OF more activity In other
directions. Gen. Macarthur,
having donned civilian clothes,
will accept invitations from
State legislatures and cities from
coast to coast and express him
self freely-not on political or
personal issues-but on the basic
question Of making America
strong enough to protect its own
interests even If its allies should
develop with respect to Europe
some day. as they nave toward
Asia, an unwillingness to take
the risks Of a showdown with

The caution which the astute
Mr.. Darby sought to instill in

No Change in the Human Side
The Interests of Rank and File Of Nation Still Subordinate
To Wishes of Powerful Groups With Influence

We are far enough in the de-
Tense program to take stock Of
what Is happening to what the
late Franklin D. Roosevelt
called "the human side" and to
give you a report on what your
public servants here are doing
about it-or not doing.
"The human side" relates to
the needs of the great rank and
file of Americans, those whose
sons and husbands fight the
wars. little and big, and who
turn out the things with which
they're fought. Again, as usual,
they are straining to keep up
with the rising cost Of every
thing they wear and eat, their
rent. their taxes. Federal, State
and local.
1t can be reported that "the
human side" story is no differ
ent than in the defense pro-
gram and war program of the
early 1940's. So far as Con-
gress-your public servants
Concerned, the interests Of the
great rank and files are sub
ordinated to those Of powerful
groups. These. because of their
control Of the facilities useful in
war and their political influ-
ence in Congress and the de-
Tense program administration,
are getting away with all sorts
OF, things under the guise of the
\ defense program. Or, for an
other dodge, the prate of
economy" and. behind that
cloak, they are getting Congress
to curtail all sorts of programs
for the common public interest,
necessary now. if not more so,
than in normal peace times.
The examples are spread out
before you, clearly visible to
the naked eye. For instance,
the way the House of Repre-
sentatiyes limited the low-rent
public housing program to q
scant 5000 units a year-wher
it was specified at $4,000 9
year by Congress in the 194s
Housing Act. The real estate
lobby, indeed, is powerful, a.
this shows and as will be plainly
demonstrated later when il
rises up to try to emasculate
such recent control as still ex.
ists-and that will affect mi
lions.

rests on a solid foundation
that 1s4S upset. They were
leery at Tulsa of boasting about
their prospects. rosy as they now
look. Americans of the present
generation will never forget the
great depression and Republi-
cans will never forget Harry
Truman's feat.
Tulsa also demonstrated again
that only one candidate for
Presldent-in either party, as a
matter Of facts in there
pitching as hard as he can.
Backers Of Senator Robert A.
Taft were on the job as usual,
cultivating the delegate garden.
Similar activity for Senator Taft
was reported from several States.
The Taft people are said to
feel that Gen. MacArthur's con-
tribution improves the Senator's
chances almost to the point Of
making him inevitable. They
reason that Gen. Macarthur
eclipses Gen. Eisenhower and
that despite his differences with
Senator Taft on European in
tervention, he Is closer to him
than to any other prospect.
But the nagging doubt persists
among many Republicans that
Senator Taft can be elected and
that q wholesale commitment
now to Gen. Macarthur will be
a good buy a year from next
November.

Once more we are adopting

Electricity is another item in

Henry McLen1ore:

There is such a thing as.per-
petual motion.
1t is the brain Of a wife.
1t never stops thinking up
things for a husband to do.
The perpetual motion ma
chine of my wife came up with
a couple Of new ideas today.
The first one was that I take
our two cats for walk.
She said that Duffy and Bidey
needed more fresh air than they
were getting as well as the feel
Of a sidewalk under their feet.
Woman" I said, do you
think that I am going to put
leashes on a brace of cats and
walk the streets of New York
with them? I've done some fool
things in my life. but have
yet to be caught exercising
cats"
But she talked me into it, and
the next thing I knew I was
out on Park avenue with two
toms. They got exercise all
right, but not one-tenth as much
as I did.
The first thing we met was q
boxer as big as barn, and his
sole aim in life seemed to be to
make a meal of cats. He charged
them, dragging his mistress
along as easily as if she had
been on skates. and Duffy and
Bidey accepted the challenge
with monumental hlSSes and an
uprising Of fur that made them
look like expensive carpets.
I was in the middle, unfor-
tunately. The boxer mistook my
right leg for cat and gave 1t
1t a chew that will have me U.s.
ing iodine for six months. The
cats took me for a tree and
climbed straight up to my
shoulders where they called
that boxer everything in the
feline language.
And while they cussed him,
they tore bark off me. So took
of. A cop saw me tearing along
with two cats on my back. and
mistook me for a cat thief. He
set out in pursuit, and every
second I expected him to pull
his gun and plug me six or seven
times.
But he didn't shoot when he
caught me. Just told me what ]

4. Is American public opinion

though the United States is

China, the assembly of the

Secretary Acheson has hereto

The fundamental reason for
Gen. MacArthur's custer, as it
has developed so far in the
hearings, was neither his dis
obedience Of the Presidents
orders nor his reluctance to
adapt himself to the strategy
OF the United Nations. 1t was

is no substitute for victory"
Both Washington and the
United Nations, believe in COM
promise rather than outright
victory.

The political leaders of the
two European countries failed to
realize that compromises are
possible before the shooting war

sees victory within its grasp,

surrender by one side or the 9TH

Deep Issues Begin to Show
Macarthur Controversy Is Becoming More Intense
As Emotional Furry Gives Way to Sober Study
Dovid Lowrence:.

The Macarthur earthquake
which arrived from Tokyo just
about q month ago has left q
series Of tremors that show no
signs Of abating.
The first impression that just
an emotional disturbance had
been stirred up over a dramatic
personality Is giving way to
something more fundamental.
If the only thing concerned
was the dismissal Of a COM
mander who differed on policies,
the episode would many days
ago have vanished from the
headlines. AS it is the con-
troversy is getting more and
more intense because deeper
and more lasting issues involv-
ing war and national security
have been raised and the
Senate hearings have revealed
much information hitherto sup
pressed. The broader questions
which now are developing may
be summarized thus:
l. Is American public opinion
going to accept the thesis that
somewhere between 250.000 and
$50. .000. Americans shall be COM
initted indefinitely to the war
In Korea in which casualties al
ready have reached more than
$1,000? This is far more than
an emotional question through
out the country, though at
times in official Washington the
Indifference to our own casual
ties is quite surprising.

going to hold President Truman
and Secretary of State Acheson

more assertive during the last
