French Urging Guerrilla Outbreak
Constantine Brown:
New Offensive Supported by Chang Troops in Formoso
Expected to Begin in Southern China in February

A guerrilla offensive supported
by a limited number of Ma
tionalist regular troops from
FormoSa is expected to take
shape next February in South
ern China. To what extent our
own Government is approving
this first action of the regular
and guerrilla forces which are
directly or indirectly under COM
mand of GeneraliSsimo Chang
Kai-shek is not yet known.
According to available tor
nation, the French gov 'ent
at the request of Gen. de Aattre
de Tassigny has been urging the
generalissimo to start something
in the area near the Indo-C China
border before the Communist
forces under the overall COM
mand of Gen. Chu-teh begin
their winter offensive in connec-
tion with the organized forces of
Ho Chi Mini.
Whether the present tenn

or not, some military observers
believe that the war in that

only local actions.
The prospects of an actual
peace in Korea are extremely
limited. The United Nations,
representing responsible gov
ernmentS. does not know even
today with whom it may have
to deal to determine the actual
peace terms. An armistice is
agreed on by local fielo COM
manderS who need not neces-
sarily represent a responsible
government. But a peace treaty
is something different. 1t re-
quires a definite pledge from an
authorized and fully recognized
body to carry out the decisions
of the diplomats.
For instance, when our diplo-
mats were being criticized for
not making a treaty with Ger

For Bribers and Bribed
BY the Assoeioted Press

Senator Moody, Democrat. of
Michigan. says people on both
ends of any bribe involving the
Government should go to jail. He
plans to sponsor a bill on it as
soon as Congress goes back to
work.
'"The briber and the bribed are
equally guilty." Senator Moody
said in a statement yesterday
"They should be put away in the
same jail"
Senator Moody said he will Join
Senator Monroney, Democrat, OF
Oklahoma. in an "anti-corrup-
tion" bill, which would substitute
mandatory jail terms for fines.
The proposal was decided as an
outgrowth of an inquiry into al
legged income tax scandals and
charges of influence on Govern
ment loans.

Six-year-old Don Peck doesn't
know it yet, but after Monday, his
daddy won't have as much time
to make the most wonderful"
wooden toys boy ever had.
Daddy is Robert A. Peck. 81,
who will take his seat on the Arl-
ington County Board with the be-
ginning of 1852. Mr.. Peck, who
describes himself as Democrat
by heritage and a Republican by
conviction, is the first Republican
elected to the board in 16 years.
The tall. slender. blue-eyed and
Igraying automobile dealer believes
his business experience will help
him bring new point of view to
Arlington.
He believes also that business
intends to and should pay its prop
Ier share of the tax burden. How
ever, he favors thorough study of
the business privilege tax and the
effects of any change in rates be-
fore a decision is reached. There
is sufficient talent in Arlington
to make such a study, he said.
Real Stake in County.

School, but I have operated a

Bob Peck, as he is familiarly
known to his associates in the Op-
timist Club and the Junior Cham
Der OF Commerce, is a man of
several interests and hobbies. And
it doesn't take much encourage
ment for him to develop a new
one.
About a year ago he took up
oil painting because he and his
wife, a native Kentuckian, needed
a rather large picture for one
wall space in the living room of
the modern rambler they designed
and built several years ago. His
first subject was his son resplen-
dent in cowboy regalia busy play
ing traps and drum.
There were immediate COM

.plications," Mr.. Peck said. "You
see, I'm partly color blind, so my
wife spent much time looking over
my shoulder to be sure the prop
Ier colors appeared on the can
vas"
A second picture is a still life
"Deuces Wild" and now he is
trying to make up his mind what
the subject of the nving-room
picture will be.
A wood working hobby grew out
of living on a small farm as a

Another is that Mr.. StaSsen
has had at least a half-nod from
Gen. Eisenhower on the theory
that he may be able to take a
few State delegations from Sen
ator Taft, which could be added
later to the Eisenhower total. For
this, in case of Gen. Eisenhower's
election. MIR. Stassen could ex-
pect to be rewarded with a spot
in the Government of his own
choosing. It would have to be a
spot that would put Mr.. Stassen
in running position again four
or eight years from now. Even
at the later date he will be only
So years old.
Then there's the possibility
that it Is wholly his own idea
and that the man he is actually
running against is Gov. Earl
Warren of California. This
would mean he is seeking to OBJ

Grafton as a compromise candi-
date in case Gen. Eisenhower
and Senator Taft tie the con-
vention in a knot that cannot
be untangled in any other man
ner. That is generally assumed
to be Gov. Warren's real ambi-
ton.
On the face of things, as OF
this date, Gov. Warren would
seem to have the better pros
pect. He hasn't thus far and he
is unlikely to do anything to
arouse the bitter hostility of
either Taft or Eisenhower. On

There already are indications
that some of the best route
armies which had been gathered
for the last eight months in the
Yalu River area already have
been transferred or are in course
of movement to the south.
There is nothing that the
French high command can do
but wait for the attack. 1t is
impossible for it's forces to meet
the Chinese Communists before
they actually penetrate into
Indo- China.
But guerrillas, whether active
NationalistS or mere anti-Com-
munists in Southern China,
could be Of real use. They could
blow up lines of communica-
tions, bridges and ammunition
stores, provided they were prop
erly led and equipped. In the
last IL months the arms sup
plies to these guerrillas have
been falling off. The 7th Fleet
was vigilant in preventing the
transfer of military supplies
from Formosa to the mainland.
Recently there have been
strong indications from Taipeh
that the Nationalists will not
only start once more to provide
these men with military equip
ment but would also dispatch
detachments of regulars to sup
port these guerrillas.
In the past Washington was
adamant to such a plan. But
apparently the views of the
French military transmitted to
Washington. it is said, through
other channels than the en-
bassy have softened up the re-
sistance Of the State Depart

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-What is
kimche?
This is the national dish-and
what a dish it is!-of Korea.
Maj. Gen. William F. Dean in a
letter to his wife broadcast this
week by the Peiping radio said
that during his II months as a
captive of the Reds he had be-
come fond of rice and kimche. u
IT this be true. the gallant gen.
eral has shown as much stamina
as a prisoner as he showed heroism
in battle. But Mrs. Dean, who has
accepted the broadcast letter as
authentic. hardly knew what was
in store for her when she an
nounced she'd learn to cook kim

If that's what he really wants.

For kimche pronounced kim
cheeD is a concoction too rugged
for the ordinary stomach of the
Western World. It is part and par
eel of the mysterious East. It is to
the Korean what wine is to a
Frenchman, spaghetti to an Ital-
ian or ham and eggs to an Amer
ican.
Along with rice it is the staple
item in his diet, but only a race
as enduring as the Koreans could
survive it.
Only a Korean housewife can
say for sure what kimche actually
is. But so far as it is possible OF
analysis it seems to be a kind of
picked vegetable hash, composed
largely Of cabbage, peppers, and
spices inundated in a mighty tide
of garlic.
The cabbages are harvested in
the fall and stacked for sale in the
muddy market places of Korean
villages and cities. The house
wives buy as much as they can
afford and try to pickle enough to
last the year.

How mild can an investigating

asked on his weekly broadcast

He scored the recent Davis

crime for being mildly worded
failing to name names and not
going far enough in calling for a
mere overhaul of law-enforce-
