Strategy Of Wishfu| THINKING
Top Pentogon Chiefs Hide Heads Like Ostrches
As U. S. Troops in Korea Brace for New Attack
Constantine Brown:

The Pentagon medical staff
is not particularly worried over
the amnesia cases which devel-
oped recently when top-ranking
generals like Defense Secretary
Marshall and the chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff-Gen.
Bradley-appeared before the
Senate committee investigating
the dismissal Of Gen. Macarthur
and our strategy in Korea.
The medicos are convinced
that all who are afflicted with
partial loss Of memory will re-
cover after they leave the wit
ness stand.
Meanwhile. about 10000
American soldiers are bracing
themselves to meet a new Com
munist attack. Many know that
they will be casualties. And they
ask: What next? What will
happen after the Chinese Reds
have been stopped once more
and their second offensive has
been repelled?" Very few Ameri-
can fighting men in Korea have
sufficient political education to
believe that the Chinese now are
being taught a lesson and will
beg for mercy,
But even if the Chinese Com
munists suffer heavy casualties,
the question in the minds of
those who have followed Gen.
Marshall's testimony carefully
Is whether the Russians will
not intervene if the Chinese are
losing their wind.
The Defense Secretary, who
is in fact, although not officially,
also our chief military planner,
stated before the investigating
committee, in trying to refute
Gen. MacArthur's arguments,
that Russia would intervene In
the Korean war If we attacked
Chinese territory with our Air
Force.
He based his evaluation on
the fact that the U. S. S. r. can
not afford to lose the Eurasian

not made South Korea more
viable! So, assuming that we
could restore the South Korean
republic. it would have to come
to terms with North Korea, or
be a permanent American relief
burden.
But North Korea Is meshed
in with Manchuria, whose in
dustries are heavily dependent
on North Korean electric power,
water reserves and minerals.
Thus. in geo-political terms.
Korea and Manchuria are a
single area.
During World War II, no one
in the West paid the slightest
attention to geo-political fac
tors. This column managed to
revive Sir Halford Mackinder's
Democratic Ideals and Reali-
ties" but, as in 1917. when it
first appeared. no leaders in
the West paid 1t heed-so we
got Yalta, an arrangement
against which Sir Halford had
specifically warned a genera
ton earlier.
Geo-political factors are re-
alities. far transcending ideolo-
gies. South Korea cannot be
supported by Pittsburgh or the
Ruhr or sell it's agricultural
products to the United States.
1t can be supported only
against another Iron Curtain
by the American taxpayer.
Thus, every victory we win
against geo-political realities,
presents us with new burden
ad inf1nitum, drives us further
into State Socialism. and fur
ther into war.
And the more war the more
communism, as everyone must
have observed by now.

erin Chief of the calculated
risk that either Communist
China or Russia or both might
intervene in the conflict.
We knew then that we had
embarked on war, but there was
no opposition, so far as is
known, from the military. Polit-
ically the Presidents decision
was excellent. The time had
come when we could no longer
retreat before continued Rus
sian aggressions. But Mr.. Tru-
man is neither a military man
nor a student of strategy and his
final decision must have been
based on the best military ad-
vice.
Equally there were many
raised eyebrows when Gen.
Bradley stated that we must
stand ready to fight Russia and
not China. According to what
Gen. Marshall said the previous
week, Russia cannot permit
China to lose the war.
He warned that if the Mac
Arthur strategy were adopted,
we would run serious risk of
having the whole might of the
U. S. S. r. in Asia-which he
described as considerable - on
our necks and even our hold
on Japan would be threatened,
Russia, according to Pentagon
strategists, has the capability of
expanding the present Korean
conflict into a third world war
and it would not matter whether
she uses Asia or other parts Of
the world for that purpose.
Thus. when we discuss war with
China we cannot escape the in
clusion OF Russia, which engi-
neered and ordered the aggres-
sion of last June against South
Korea.
To say, under these circum-
stances. that we must avoid
Soviet Intervention is following
the legendary ostrich, who hides
his head in the sand.

them this would be the sixth
increase. if they get it, since the
end of World War II. The justi-
f1cation, Of course, is the con.
tlnuing rise in the cost of liv-
ing-the same justification as
that given by the members Of
the faculty of Rutgers College
this week in asking for $1,000
individual bonuses for the cur
rent year.
Justified or not, the prospect
Of sixth round" of wage in
creases has given the Presi-
dents emergency men a serious
scare and they hope it may
have the same effect on Con-
gress. Although the Defense
Emergency Act, providing the
limited controls now in opera
tion. is due to expire at the
end Of June, Congress has
appeared to be in no hurry to
extend the act and to strengthen
it at the points where it appears
to be weak. This could be due
to the fascination of the Mac
Arthur melodrama, perhaps,
and the fun of prying military
secrets out of the Defense De-
partment. Or it could be due to
the unceasing clamor of i'm
portant constituents against
such limited restrictions as have
thus far been imposed. In any
case the deadline is drawing
near and not a lot is being done
toward building a real barrier
against disastrous imitation.
Eric Johnston testified before
the House Banking Committee
this week, asking for action.
Significantly, he put his strong
est emphasis on the need to curb
prices and profits. He made it
clear that there is no doubt in
his mind as to which is the
chicken and which the egg-and
which comes first.

Dorothy Thompson:
Realities of Asia Not Understood in Wa:
More Wdr Leads to More Communism

This column, having read the
testimony. sticks to its thesis
that nothing of a fundamental
nature is being debated In
Washington.
The fundamental issue, 1t
seems to us, is American COM
mitments under the U. N.
The prevailing bipartisan
view is that peace is indivisible,
and that it is the American duty
to police the globe against ag-
gression.
We, however, maintain that
a universal system of collective
security is impossible without
agreement between the United
States and the U. S. S. R.. that
ali American attempt unilater-
ally to enforce peace-with
whatever states can be per-
suaded to go along in secondary
roles-has already involved us
in war; that permanent politi-
cal pacification as a result of it
Is quite unimaginable; and that
the pursuit of this concept will
bankrupt the United States and
lead not To the strengthening of
liberty and law, but straight
into socialism.
We wish everybody in any po-
sition of authority would read
George Orwell's 1884" That is
where we are heading, by the
process Of calling war peace.
Congress suddenly had to
push through a special resolu-
Mon to give the veterans OF the
Korean war many of the bene-
fits. including medical care. al
ready available to veterans of
other wars. They were not avail

Doris FIeeson:

The Senate inquiry into war
policy stands at a crossroads in
United States Constitutional
history.
At issue in Gen. Bradley's re-
fusal to disclose his converse
tions with President Truman
about the Macarthur dismissal
Is the Constitutional doctrine Of
checks and balances with a
separation of powers among the
executive, the legislative and
the judicial branches.
1t sounds technical; further
more with four terms for
Franklin Roosevelt recently in
mind the public is currently
more apt to fear dictation by
the White House. But this time
the question is whether Con-
gress is seeking to upset the
precious Constitutional balance.
The situation, though serious,
has at least one guffaw in it.
Bumbling Senator Wiley of
Wisconsin upset the Republi-
can applicant by posing the is
sue against Gen. Bradley. They
had figured on springing it on
Secretary of State Acheson who
a large section of public opin-
ion thinks can do nothing right
since he said: II will not turn
my back on Alger Hiss"
1t is foregone conclusion
that the Secretary of State is
going to maintain that the Con-
stitution protects his intimate
relationship with the President
who appoints him. He would
be bound to disclose much: In
the temper of the Republican
opposition it is impossible to
doubt that they would press him
on matters he would refuse to
disclose. They would figure that
anything done to Mr.. Acheson
would be accepted by the pub
lie as legal. The tragedy is
they are probably right.
Gen. Bradley is another cup
Of tea. It can be argued even
against the majestic George
Marshall that he has a vested

David Lowrence:

Gen. Omar Bradley has been
consistently wrong about the
strategy of the United States
in his testimony heretofore be-
fore congressional committees,
and hence there is a tendency
to question whether he is right
now.
The general told the House
Armed Services Committee in
October, 1949, that. because of
the use of the atom bomb, he
never expected to see another
large-scale amphibious landing.
But in less than two years he
was proved wrong-the United
States was compelled to use
large and powerful units of its
Navy to protect large-scale
landing in Korea involving at
that time at least 100000 troops.
Gen. Bradley was one of the
members of the Joint Chiefs
who. because of their conf
dence in a one-weapon strategy
the atom bomb-voted against
the building of a -sized
naval carrier on the ground
that the United States Air Force
would be adequate to take care
of strategic air warfare. Since
that time the United States
Navy has had to take out of
mothballs many aircraft car
riers and Congress has author
iZed the construction of a large
sized carrier on the direct
recommendation of the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff. The Navy's air.
craft carriers have participated
regularly in both strategic and
tactical warfare for 10 months
In Korea.
Two years ago, when Gen.
Bradley and some of his asso-
ciates were testifying before the
House Armed Services Commit
tee. the doctrine was being
espoused that intercontinental
bombers - needing no overseas
bases - would take care of an
enemy forthwith by bombing 10
of its cities. Today the military
men at the Pentagon, including
Gen. Bradley, are telling the
congressional committees who

Word passed by "Mukluk Telegraph, and few proSpectors began con gregating around Pete McGrath's trading post. Among them were Eaton, Gaines, Spencer and Mackcy, and these four joined in a petition to the Postal De- partment for location of post office at Pete McGrath's Me Grath had apparently been ap- pointed US. Commissioner for this region already. The group asked specifically that mail service be instituted from Sew ard via dog team each winter. This was the beginning of Sew ards participation in the Idita- rod gold rush.
 Ii is rather interesting to note that while this was taking place Gin I90D two of Stewards great est competitors for road and rail terminals serving the Interior were abandoned. In October 1907, the Reynolds group at Val dcz suspended operations, and in November of the same year, construction ceased at KatalIa. These events helped boost Sew ards morale, despite the slowing down of it's own railroad pro gross.
 A number of Seward folks made the trip to the KuskokWim that fall. One of them was Al Lowell, son of the original Res urrection Bay settler, William Lowell. Returning with a sled load of mail, he had a mishap at Eagle River in December, 1907, which resulted in an icy duck ing for driver, dogs, and mail. When he reached Seward, the letters were frozen together in one solid mass. The Seward post office not only had to thaW them out, but had to make new en- velopes for most of the lot. But the worst job of all was un- tangling the yards of govern ment red tape that was found to encircle the whole question of opening and readdressing the letters, the local newspaper added.
 In the spring of 1908. there was already talk of a possible government trail from Seward to Nome. via the KuskokWim gold creeks. and a survey party un- der George Pullman was assigned to make a reconnaissance. More over. there had been another rumor of gold at Valdez Creek. east of the Susitna Valley, and Seward was boomed in the local paper as the best port of entry for this country as well.
