Denial To Others

The Board had proposed to grant certificate to Pacific Northern Airlines for the service and to deny all other applications.
 This decision required approval of the President, who must put his Q. K" on all decisions relating to service outside of the domestic Un- ited States.
 CAB officials told a reporter that the law charges the President with responsibility for making final judg- ment on service outside the domest- ic United States. In such eases, they said, the CAB acts only as his agent. They added that such presidential power previously had been chal- lenged unsuccessfully.
 The President, in a letter to the Board, pleaded for more service to Fairbanks and Anchorage from Seattle because of the defense pro gram.
 Air transport Appiieu
 The Board then authorized the service by both Pacific Northern and Alaska Airlines.
 Air Transport Associates, Inc. was one of the other applicants for authority to engage in Seattle-Al- aska service
 Amos F. Heacock, president of Air Transport, in brief filed with the Federal court, argued that the presidential powers were limited to approval or disapprOvai of . Board order and not to recommendations for issuance of authority to oper- ate.
 Must Follow
 He argued in the brief that it is appreciated that the members of the Board, holding as they do their tenure of office at the pleasure of the President, would be embarrassed to refuse to follow his directive, ev- en though, as here. it was made contrary to and without authority of law. However, they had no altern- ative, in the absence of any control ling court decision"
 Heacock also told the court that the Boards order might force his company Ito withdraw from it's bus mess operations"

18 Planes in Air; Fog Lifts In Mountains
Pilots Confident Missing Air|iff Plane Can be Spotted Soon

Clearing skies over the Gulf of Alaska and the coastal range today gave hopes that the miss ing Canadian airlift plane, with 3s persons aboard, would be spot ted soon.
 Eighteen planes took off early this morning from Yakutat and Elmendorf Air Force base on a cross-hatch pattern of flights to SCOUT the mountainsides and coastline where the plane Is thought to have crashed.
 A broken cloud belt from 5000 to 5000 feet still hovered over the Cape Spencer to Yakutat area, Coast Guard headquarters here said. The plane is thought to have crashed in the mountains above the 5000 foot level.
 Missing aboard the Tokyo bound Canadian Pacific Airlines plane are three civilians reported on a United Nations mission. 26 U. s. servicemen, two seamen of the Royal Canadian Navy and a Canadian crew of seven, includ- ing two stewardessess.
 CAP Joins Search
 Joining the search today were two small Ciyil Air Patrol craft from Sitka and Juneau, and the Arctic Institutes Norseman, be- lieved flown by Morris King, mo- ted Arctic flyer.
 Five more Air Force planes are en route to join the search, Coast Guard headquarters here said.
 Pilots said late yesterday they were confident the missing plane could be located if they had one olsar day. It appeared that today would give them that opportunity.
 Any wreckage located will be double checked. Coast Guard headquar sars said, bs0iuse there are crashes known in the area, in cluding that of C-54 which hit in the St. Elias range in Janu- ary, 1850.
 The airlift plane was on the first leg of it's great circle flight to the Orient, and was last heard from off Cape Spencer, 30 miles west of here. It's next check-in was due from the Yakutat area, but was not received.
 Believe Ship Drifted
 The Coast Guard, which is CO., ordinating the search with the Air Force, believes the plane "drifted" off beam as it crossed the Gulf and crashed in the mountainous area north and west of here. It was flying at 5000 feet. Peaks rise to l5,00O feet oil the coast.
 The two branches of the armed forces hold midnight conferences each night to plan the ensuing days flights and patrols of three cutters. scanning. the shoreline. Each plane reports to it's base ev- cry 3 minutes, and is given an overlapping pattern of land and and sea to search, so that no area will be overlooked, they explained.
 Four CPA planes were Il the search yesterday, but the Coast Guard here did not know if they were flying today. One is a Cat alina flying boat, the remainder DC-4's they said. Two planes are flown by Coastguardsmen and 10 by the Air Force, including pilots from the noted 10th Rescue Squadron.

The U. N. position is that the question of withdrawing troops is a political issue to be debated at a higher level after the shooting war has actually. been halted.

The Need to Determine What Victory Will Be?

A lot of us heavy thinkers are

We find it difficult to maintain
our philosophic calm in the
midst of all the screaming. We
cry peace, peace, but there is
no peace, just like Patrick Henry

likes. while endeavoring either
to prevent or prepare itself for
a war that everybody would like
even less. So everybody-except
us philosophers, of COURSES
yelling at everybody else and
trying to fasten the blame on
somebody else, for the state we
are in, including the state of
our nerves.
There are a number of causes
for this. but a principal cause
may be our conception of what
war is. We've always thought
war is something you win"

that Moscow, having armed the
Chinese revolutioniSts from the
japanese arsenals. expects Pei
ping to carry the Far Eastern
load, while Moscow keeps its
posture of strength poised in
Europe. This seems to be the
generals thesis-as it is that of
the administration.
The generals testimony lends
no support whatever to the ac-
cusation that he. wants an all
out war with China. He has
recommended only a limited war
Limited to achieving United
Nations directives of driving the
enemy out of all Korea, to be
accomplished by cutting its
armies from the sources of its
supplies. He has spoken as a
military man assessing a mill
tary situation within the OBJ
jectives set by the President
and the U. N. Beyond that he
expressed conviction that a per-
petual Stalemate or defeat in
Korea would not serve to deter,
but rather to encourage other
ventures in other places. In this,
too. he is not in disagreement
with administration policy.
Indeed, if areas of funda-
mental disagreement are ex-
plored, they appear narrow. Real
disagreement would appear to
be between the administration
and some Of the U. N. govern
ments, who have never had en-
thusiasm for the Korean project
at any time and who now want
peace at almost any price. That
is not the administrations view,
however.
Both documentary evidence
and reason suggest that the
primary nationalist-imperialist
Soviet aims-as distinct from
the ideological-are not in Asia
but in the Middle East and
Europe. The negotiations be-

Korea Objectives
Are Summed Up

Senator Northumberland,
think it would be worthwhile to
clear up the difference. if there
is a difference, between our po-
litical objectives in Korea and
our military objectives in Korea
I think it is important that we
have that in the record. Would
you please do that for me, sir?
| Secretary Marshall-Our mill
tary objective in Korea is to resist
this aggression and in general to
secure the situation. That may
mean the advance into Northern
Korea, as it did at one stage. or
our holding South Korea safe
from aggression.
The advance into North Korea
as military proposition was the
destruction Of the North Korean
forces. At the present time the
military objective is dominated
by the factor that the security OF
our forces is the pre-eminent re-
quirement because we are Sc
much outnumbered in Communist
China strength.
But in the general terms, it re-
mains the same-to resist the
aggression. which carries with it
the implication that we not only
resist the aggression but within
our means we try to terminate the
possibility Of a continuation OF
aggressive threats.
AS to the political requirements
or policies governing the situation
I mus ask you to. question the
State Department on that, be-
cause it involves information
that. first. ought to be very accu-
rate for the benefit of you gentle
men. and, in the next place, I do
not think should be advertised in
part. Because while it is a politi-
cal policy, it pertains very directly
to military procedure.
American Strategy.
Senator Northumberland, I
think the American people would
appreciate it if you could assure
them that the strategy that has
been adopted by the Government,
as I understand it, with the united
backing of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff. and with yourself, with the
backing Of the President of the
United States. is the strategy
which you have adopted after
looking at the global picture and
