Important facts for the Amer
ican people to ponder have come
out of the hearings being held
jointly by 25 Senators-mem-
bers of the Armed Services
Committee and the Foreign Re-
lations Committee. These facts.
with some possible results, may
be outlined as follows:
/. The Secretary of State says
that the United Nations will be
willing to settle the Korean
war by letting U. N. forces and
Communist forces hold up at
the 38th Parallel--the old
boundary-while the diplomats
seek assurances that subsequent
ly, with the gradual withdrawal
of the troops of both sides,
peace and security may come
to the "area" and unified
government set up for Korea.
These were the main detectives
before and since the war started.
But our Government seems to
have forgotten that punishment
Of the aggressor has become the
objective, too. Not single
word has been said by the Sec
retary, however, as to how the
United Nations can gain pres
tlge from such a settlement
when no punishment is to be
imposed on the aggressors-Red
China. North Korea and Rus
sia. Certainly the representa-
tive of the aggressors isn't go
ing to accept a proposal Of
punishment through diplomatic
discussions.
2. The United States, after
spending $84 billion in the five
years from June 1916 to June
1851. has, today only a "shoe-
string Air Force" This des-
cription came from Gen. Van
denberg, the head of the United
States Air Force, and severely
indicts the record of President
Truman. To the extent that
military man spoke out to
Congress in criticism of the
commander chief on such a
vital matter. it was commend
able. To the extent that it
may be an exaggeration of
Americas unreadiness to fight
in the air. it will be subject to
further investigation by Con-
gress. To the extent that a
member Of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff publicly informs the
enemy-he wasn't asked to say
it-that the United States can
not successfully fight a war on
two fronts as it did in World
Evening star., 1951-06-04

War II it is q valuable confess
sion of the attitude Of our mili-
tary leaders for Moscow's in
formation book. It raises an
interesting question as to why
Gen. Vandenberg didn't speak
out in the open carrier and risk
his command when President
Truman, ignoring the explicit
legislation Of Congress, decided
to impound and hence not to
spend the $648 million appro-
priated more than a year ago
for new aircraft because he
didn't think 1t was necessary.
That $648 million would at
least have bought a number of
extra pairs of shoes. !" For two
years previously the President
had repeatedly discouraged the
70-group Air Force idea. The
commander chief can remove
Macarthur for proposing a plan
that is interpreted as desire
to expand" an existing war
and win a victory, but the
commander r-in-chief can refuse
to obey an order of the Con-
gress of the United States and
can get away with it even
though it later turns out that
Americas security has been
imperiled.
3. The Chief of Naval Opera
tions has revealed in his testi-
mony that the Communists
have steadily been getting sup
plies primarily through British
trade and almost entirely
through non Communist coun-
tries which are members of the
U. N. He has disclosed the
figures and the methods and
being conscious of the need for
restraint, lest he be dismissed,
too, he says he is satisfied with
the efforts to bring about an
effective economic blockade. But
nobody has as yet Investigated
why the non-Communist coun-
tries have for so many months
carried on this trade while
American boys were being killed.
The failure of the American
Government to assert its leader
ship on this issue information
ally until just recently is
written into the record.
4. After all the talk about how
Russia alone uses the big lie"
in its public statements, the
Secretary of State confesses that
our own propaganda uses the
big lie, too, and this is excused
by him as a sort of doctrine OF
"all is fair in diplomacy and
propaganda" The document of
December. 1s4s, which was sent

Thonos [. Stokes:

Television, yet in it's very
early stages, offers untold future
opportunities, it is agreed, for
information and education as
well as entertainment.
At hand is a new and vivid
agency for informing all of us
in this rapidly changing world.
and for education for the COM
ing generations. So that, for
instance, the latter may get
more. than Hopalong Cassidy,
mystery and gangster thrillers
and those reiterated CONNER
cials that the youngsters in your
homes, as you are aware, can
recite perfectly if with ironic
slngsong. Much more perfectly,
indeed, than their geography or
history lessons which, of itself,
shows television's potency.
Many thoughtful people, in
cluding educators. who are con-
scious of all this, realize that
now is the time, while tele-
vision is in its formative pc
riod. to see that its educational
and informative functions are
given full recognition and ade-
quate time on the air. That
never has happened. as we
know, with radio.
This viewpoint, luckily, is re-
flected in Congress. among other
ways. specifically, in two reso-
lutions introduced in the Sem
ate by Senator Benton, Demo-
crat, of Connecticut, who has
done considerable research in
both the radio and television
fields.
One would suspend, for a
minimum Of six months to q
year after its passage, the as
signment Of television channels
BY the Federal Communications
Commission, to give time for

a thorough study of the educa-
tional needs Of television so
they might be met before tele-
vision wave lengths become
frozen" so to speak. Licenses,
too. would be limited to one
year under the resolution.
The other resolution would
set up a special advisory COM
mission of II outstanding citi-
Gems, appointed by the Presi-
dent and confirmed by the Sen
ate. which would be a continu-
ing review board to check on
both teleyiSion and radio to see
that each Is filling its respon-
sibilities to the public, includ-
ing those Of an educational, in
formative and cultural nature.
1t would report regularly to the
FEC with any recommendations
Tor changes necessary and USE
full in the public interest.
This commission, Senator
Benton suggests, could as its
first task organize and supervise
the study as to educational re-
quirements in television during
the period Of suspension of wave
length assignments provided by
the other resolution, He feels
that such a study might be too
much of burden upon the FEC
or congressional committees be-
cause of other pressing duties.
The commission, which would
operate on a per diem basis.
would be representative of our
people. including parents, teach
ers. churches, civic groups,
farmers, labor, and so on.
Recently, after long public
hearings, the FEC tentatively
assigned 200 television channels,
about 10 per cent. for non-com-
nercial educational television
stations. That might be enough

a city which seems to be under
going one Of its periodic spasms
OF reform. The hearings estab-
lished him as q lucid. calm and
fair interrogation who drove
ahead remorselessly to .well-de-
fined goals.
The Liberals who are launch
ing him at what appears to be
so propitious a season are the
anti-Communist left. They in
clude many influential New
Dealers and labor leaders who
actively supported Franklin
Roosevelt and Fiorello La
Guardia. Their backing, gen.
orally speaking. attracts an in
dependent vote; they are no
slouches in the public opinion
field and they have access to
what is so very important,
sources of campaign funds.
1t was the Liberals who
launched Representative Frank
lin Roosevelt, jr., in 1949 after
Tammany had refused him the
regular Democratic nomination
to succeed the late Sol Bloom
in the House. incidentally, they
are reported to be somewhat
disillusioned with the young
man, both because he is not
more of a producer as a legis-
lator and because he is so very
regular a Democrat now.

dition that he would not accept

sent secret instructions stating
exactly the contrary. The
heretofore secret policy in
formation paper" further denies
the present testimony of the
Secretary of State:
"Formosa," it stated, "politi-
cally. geographically and stra-
logically is in no way
especially important or distin-
guished."
And to emphasize this, the
document reminds the State
Department officials that "even
the small group of United States
military advisers sent there at
the Chinese (Nationalist) gov
ernment's request was COM
pletely withdrawn a year ago
Tin 1948)."
The publication of this docu-
ment, nearly two years old, casts
a doubtful light on the policies
of our Government which even
today when we are in a shoot
ing war with the Chinese Com
munists continues to dictate
military strategy to the pro-
fessional soldiers who are in
charge of military operations.
1t explains to a great extent
why the State Department has
been so lukewarm to press our
allies to accept blockade Of
the China coast and why it has
so eagerly submitted to the ad-
monitions from India and Great
Britain to permit neither our
Air Force to lombard the mill
tary installations across the
Yalu River nor to use the
Chinese Nationalists in the Far
Eastern war.
1t is conceivable that the same
lack of Judgment shown by our
policy makers in December,
1949, may still exist today when
they declare that the present
half-hearted strategy in Korea
will succeed in conf1ning the
conflict to that area alone.

Henry McLen1ore:

II Americans were half as
worried about the atom bomb
as they are about a moth eat
ing a hole in a l0-year-old
sweater. this country now would
be pretty well prepared to with
stand an attack by Russia.
Within the past month mil
lions of Americans have spent
millions Of dollars. and used up
millions Of work hours. making
sure that Tinea pellionella

ior's raccoon cap with the de-
tachable tail, during the sum-
mer.
Within the same month most
Of these millions of Americans
haven't done q hootin' owl thing
about the most elementary pre-
cautions In case their homes
came under atomic attack.
They'd be lucky to find much
more than a bottle of iodine
and q roll Of adhesive tape on
hand il the Soviet bombers came
over and were able to break
through this country's television
II mean, radar screen.
The home from which this
originates is just as moth con-
scious and atom bomb uncon-
scious as any in the land. It
is wide open to nuclear fission
and its by-products. but the very
bravest moth in the world would
think twice before knocking on
the door or flying through the
window.
Have you ever walked in an
old-fashioned garden near the
close Of a lovely day and smelled
the fragrance OF the flowers?
And did you like it?
Well, don't come around our
home then.
It smells so awful from moth
preventives that keep a brazier
Of feathers and rubber burning
in the corner for relief.
Wonder II any industrialists
have made as much progress in
the past 10 or is years as the
moth men? There was a time
Evening star., 1951-06-04

if commercial stations gave suf-
f1cient time to educational pro-
grams, or it might prove made
quate. Already there are many
demands from colleges, univer-
stiles and other educational in
stitutions and agencies.
Recently the regents Of the
University of the State of New
York asked the FEC for eleven
educational reservations for the
State-three more than the FEC
had assigned. An appropriation
of $3.500.000 is being requested
of the legislature to build the
stations.
Senator Benton is frankly
skeptical about commercial sta
tions meeting educational needs.
He cites his own experience
six disillusioning years" in
which he worked at the Univer-
sity Of Chicago on a special
project to get more recognition
for educational programs. It was
his impression at the end OF that
time, he said. that the networks
were doing q poorer educational
job than when he began and
now. he added, he thinks they
are doing q poorer job than 20
years ago. AS for television, he
pointed to q recent analysis
made Of television programs in
the New York metropolitan area,
now the most saturated TV area
in the country. It showed only
8 per cent Of the output
classified as International, Of
which 2 per cent was on public
issues. 1 per cent on religion.
Five per cent was news.
Now, he emphasized, is the
time to lay down the guides for
television. For .if we miss them
now. we may not only miss them
Tor q generation, but for keeps" !"
