of American prisoners Of war
and the fragrant violation of the
Geneva convention (Which even
the most backward organized
armies have been respecting for
years., If fully confirmed, is not
the handiwork of the Chinese
alone.
1t is difficult to gauge what
determined the enemy the
U. S. S. r. must be included in
the rankS-to proceed in such a
manner against helpless men
who fought clean fight. Soon
after the Chinese entered the
war against us last year they
made some endeavors to treat
our prisoners as decently as cir
cumstanceS permitted. 1t was
good propaganda. Some were
actually released soon after their
capture. The rest underwent a
course of Communist indoctri-
nation and the enemy's radio
was blaring alleged denuncia-
tions of our Far Eastern policies
by our own prisoners. There is
no doubt that If these broadcaSts
were not faxed the men who
made them were compelled to do
so at pistol point. The release of
some of the prisoners by the
enemy permitted some bleeding
hearts" in this country to wax
lyric about how nice the Reds
were and to advise the admin
istration to seek an early set
tlement of the conflict by &C
cepting the inevitable fact that
the Communists were in full
control of China and should be
recognized.
One of the assumptions for
the dastardly crime, which
should place the enemy outside
any humanitarian considera-
ton, is that the indoctrination
work on the American prisoners
was utterly unsuccessful and
the high command decided that
harsh methods might pay bet
ter dividends. This had been

the charge of Col. James M.
Hanley that $500 American
prisoners Of war have been
murdered by the enemy in Korea
would be thoroughly unbeliev-
able.
Communist atrocities had been
rumored for some time-with-
out sufficient proof to make
them public-at least by some
top American officers in Korea
who expressed in private COM
munications their doubt about
"how many of our prisoners will
ever be returned to the United
States"
Mass murder of prisoners is
nothing new in the Communist
handbook on warfare. The A.
900 Polish officers were mur-
dered on orders from the Krem-
lin. Our Government, for the
sake of not disturbing the cor
dial relationship with the Krem-
lin at that time, refused to take
notice of the evidence which
proved the Russian guilt con-
clusively and preferred to accept
the Soviet governments ex-
planation that it was the Nazis
who perpetrated that crime.

1t could be that all the War;

of him are two young. vigorous
and ambitious Senators, William
F. Knowland and Richard
Nixon. Both are getting more
Washington attention than the
majority of their Senate classes,
both give every sign of propos-

politics.
They can be expected to give
their candidate shrewd and en-
ergetic support. There has not
been up to now any real effort
made to organize a Western
bloc of Republicans; possibly,
with Western presidential can
didate running up his standard,
something of the sort may be
attempted.
1t mad already been reported

the issue is likely to provoke
even more discussion in the
future than the past. This COR
respondent is in receipt of sew
eral documents and statements
from Protestant sources indicat-
ing deep feeling about it. The
principal argument made is
that diplomatic recognition in
wolves a union of church and
state. Catholic statements, on
the other hand, insist that the
American hierarchy does not
believe in a union of church and
state either, This phase of the
debate is not likely to be re-
solved in the court of public
opinion, because it is bound
to be lost in religious prejudices.
The issue, however, will play
a part in next years politics.
The Republican, dominated Mas
sachusetts Senate just the other
day voted unanimously to sup
port President Truman's pro-
posal. The membership there
consists of 20 Protestants, 10
Catholics and one Jew. No rec
ord vote was taken.
1t is regrettable, of course,
that the controversy has arisen
at all. 1t is still mystery why
the President, holding the view
point he has expressed. didn't
promptly appoint successor to
Myron Taylor when he resigned
in January 1850. That would
have simply continued a prece-
dent established by his prede-
cessor in the White House. Even
the personal representative"
idea on the other hand, was
vehemently opposed by Protes-
tant groups, some of whom
claim the President promised he
wouldn't do it. This form of ap-
pointment did not. however,
evoke the widespread bitterness
= that has developed as a con-
sequence of the formal request
for the establishment of an en-
bassy at the Vatican.

Made Commitment to the Pope
rumon Intends to Send Representative to the Vatican
No Matter What Action Is Taken on Gen. Clark
David Lowrence:

President Truman has every
intention of sending a repre-
sentative to the Vatican no
matter what happens to delay
or block confirmation Of the
appointment of Gen. Mark
Clark as ambassador.
This is because Mr.. Truman
has made a commitment to the
Pope that he would send a rep
resentative to the Vatican, and
he means to abide by that
pledge.
1t is not known just when the
agreement was arrived at or by
what means, but it Is assumed
that either the message was
conveyed through Myron C.
Taylor, who resigned in jan
uary, 1850 as personal repre-
sentative of the President at the
Vatican, Or by some one else
who has since visited the Pope
in behalf of the President and
conveyed the same information.
1t could, of course, have been
an exchange of letters, but the
important fact is that Mr.. Tru-
man has given assurances that
he intends to remain faithful
to his promise.
If both Houses of Congress
fail to bring to vote or to pass
the special legislation required
to give Gen. Clark the status
that has been requested for him,
so that he can serve in a dip
lomatic post and still retain his
rank in the Army. the Presi-
dent may name some one else.

Changes Political Pace
Formerly Content to Be Merely Available, He Joins
Early Bird Candidates With Handicap Unotered

Gov. Earl Warren'S decision
to join the early birds among
the presidential candidates rep
resents decided change of pace
for the Californian. In other
years, he has been content to
be merely available practically
up to the moment the Republi-
can convention began.
In experience, personality and
character, Gov. Warren is the
equal of his competition. His
single greatest handicap re-
mains unaltered. 1t is that the
flow of news is from east to
west, not west to east. He has
not had and cannot get the
sheer publicity that Senator
Taft in Washington and Gen.
Eisenhower in Paris. Washing
ton and like points will.
At the moment. he may even
have receded from the pinnacle
OF the prestige won when he
was elected Governor of Cali
fornia on both the Democratic
and Republican tickets in 1916.
Yet he has decided to plunge
into the fray faster and more
vigorously than before.
The official reason is that.
since Senator Taft is getting so
far out in front, it is necessary
for Gov. Warren to head him

ers were killed after they
reached camp and we're not
murdered in anger in the heat
of a sharp engagement. There
were such incidents - severely
punished by the high command
of both antagonists-on the
western front during the First
and Second World Wars. The
present crime appears to those
in the know In Korea as a CAL
culated act.
The figure of $500 American
prisoners murdered, given by
Col. Hanley, is believed to be
correct and represents nearly
so per cent of the number Of
men known to have been cap
tured.
What steps will be taken
against this barbarism, which
had already been hinted by
Secretary Acheson in his speech
before the U.N. earlier this
week, is for the time being un-
known. Suggestions were made,
soon after the report reached
Washington, that the matter
be presented to the United Ma
tions. What good that would
do even its advocates cannot
say except that we would be
placing the crime on record.
The United Nations has neither
sufficient prestige with the saw
ages nor enough power to take
any action. Comrade Vishin-
sky, who presides over the Soviet
and the puppet delegations at
the Paris gatherings, is sure to
denounce our report as another
proof of the bad faith of the
capitalist st-imperialiSts. A vote
Of censure on the part of the
other representatives will GER

the Communists than a flea bite

wagon psychology develops. But
Senator Taft is fighting no
harder at this point than he
and Gov. Dewey we're in 1948,
and Gov. Warren held back.
Nor are Republicans more
confident now than in 1948 that
1852 is their year and their
nomination a pearl of great
price. If anything. Mr.. Tru-
man has put the Indian sign
on them to the point where they
fear him almost unreasonably.
A possible reason for the un-
usual Warren drive is a feeling
that the Taft-Eisenhower COM
petition. which is briskly devel-
oping. may kill them both off
as candidates before the ulti-
mate roll call at Chicago. In
that case. of course, the Cali
fornian will be in a much bet
ter position if he has had and
is holding a nucleus of dele
gates.
In some quarters. it is ar
gued that the public's desire
for new faces and a fresh
breeze in Washington is so great
that none of the men now in
the limelight will do. Politi-
cal observers with a past record
for astuteness are willing to pre-
dict that the upshot of all the

Mr.. Truman would send a per-
sonal representative" to the
Vatican without waiting for
congressional action on the
matter of an embassy. He has
handled it by the personal
representative" method before.
and so has President Roosevelt.
But the envoy would not then be
a formal member of the dip
lomatic service. So far as the
Vatican is concerned, it natural
ly would prefer that the repre-
sentation be regulariZed as an
embassy. If Congress shows a
disposition to delay indefinitely,
Mr.. Truman is determined that
during the balance of his term
there will be some representa-
ton at the Vatican.
Incidentally, the National
Catholic Welfare Conference
here, in statement just re-
leased, gives the statistics about
diplomatic representation at the
Vatican by various countries
and says:
1T should be plain from the
statistics we cite that many
countries which do not have
Catholic maJorities maintain re-
lations with the Vatican City
on the ground that it is a sover-
eign state. The only major coun-
tries which do not send
representatives to the Vatican
city are: Communist Russia,
Communist China and the
United States of America"
The President has been i'm
pressed by the fact that all the
other major powers in the free
world except the United States
are represented at the Vatican.
1t is known, too, that the
furor which the appointment
OF Gen. Clark has brought
about has been carefully noted
by tn ePresident, and it is re-
ported that he expected far
more disapproval than has been
manifested.

tie-up Of California with the
Eastern New York Pennsylvania
axis for Gen. Eisenhower which
was the aim of Gov. Dewey and
Senator James H. Duff of
Pennsylvania. That would have
been a most formidable early
combination for the Eisen-
hover movement.
There is plenty of time, Gov.
Warren seemingly intends to
be patient-and watchful-in
his own interest. If deadlock
should not materialize with the
golden opportunity for him.
there might be at least the
handsome silver ornament, so
to speak, of a cabinet post
should Republicans win next
year, or even another vice
presidential nomination such as
he had in 1948. if he threw his
votes into the right pot at the
strategic moment.
Gov. Warren has two possible
handicaps in the nomination
contest of which he, himself,
is fully aware.
One is that he has become
known, in his three terms as
Governor, as a lone operator in
party politics. This role is inf1u-
enced by the fact that Demo-
cratic and independent votes
have contributed heavily to his
Republican victories in a State
where registration still strongly
favors the Democrats. Also, be-
cause of the cross filing system
and The confusion of party
labels it produces, he has had
to call on Democrats for help
IN his legislative battles. Regu-
lar organ cation leaders COM
plain about his sometimes luke
warm attitude toward other
candidates on the Republican
ticket.
The second handicap is the
duolous-if not actually hostile
feeling toward him among the
Republican Old Guard because
OF his progressivism. Extremists
among them probably would
agree with President Truman's
designation of him as really
