The deep differences of opin-
ion which exist within the 26-man
joint Senate committee investigat-
ing the Macarthur controversy are
accompanied by one striking con-
trast, a unanimous committee feel
ing that Chairman Dick Russell
has provided a fine demonstration
of fairness and effectiveness.
The 53-year-old Georgia Demo-
crat acquired the task of directing
the controversial investigation by
virtue of his position as chairman
of the Senate Armed Services
Committee.
Did Not Seek Job
For Senator Russell it was an
assignment he did not welcome
and did not want. His Armed
Services Committee, in the coun-
try's new mobilization program,
faced an unusually heavy load of
work. At the time the inquiry
began, he and other members of
his committee were deeply in
volved in trying to write a new
draft law to replace the one ex-
piring July ga law carrying with
it a controversial provision for
establishing universal military
training.
II the assignment was one that
Senator Russell did not want, il
also was one from which he would
not shrink. He conceived it as his
duty, as chairman OF the Armed
Services Committee, to undertake
the inquiry.
The dismissal of Gen. Mac.
Arthur and the dispute over the
military policy in Korea were SUBJ
ljects which came primarily within
the province of his committee

through the Western blockade by
several methods.
They get through via "triangu-
| lar deals" in which strategic car
goes are shipped legitimately from
tight" countries to such places as
Belgium. Holland and Sweden, or
into Europess free ports, from
whence they are transshipped to
Poland, Hungary and Czecho-
lSlovakia
They get it through loopholes in
the iron curtain, along 700 miles
of the German and Austrian bor-
lderS-Zonal and national. In
some places the winding border
actually winds in and out of the
same town.
They get it through at Berlin
and Vienna-both great cities sur
rounded by the Soviet zone
where cargoes en- route to these
cities clear the respective check
points at Helmstedt and Linz, and
then disappear.
They get it through the Swiss,
who insist that their econ
omy is 100 per cent total free
trade and free enterprise. They
get it from Greeks, whose ships
can take it right on up the Black
Sea, and from such smaller loop
holes as the ports of Genoa, Ven
ice and Copenhagen.
They get it through ''free-lance''
traders" around the world who
don't object to making a dishon-
est buck. These men or firms
usually deal indirectly with a Rus
sian trade front organization
called Torg-Prodstv or Rasno OF
Orop-which has representatives
in Europe's principal cities and
as far off as Montreal and Mex
tico City.
One way or another, the stuff
is getting through, at sky-high
prices.

to sit with the Armed Services
group in the inquiry.
The combination made a rather
unwieldy investigating group, but
it had the advantage of stilling
much of the Republican demand
for a Joint Senate House investi-
eating committee patterned after
the one that investigated the
Pearl Harbor attack.
The assignment has turned out
to be even a harder one than
Senator Russell himself antici-
pated. At the outset he found
himself working as many as 18 or
10 hours a day. Now" he adds,
things have Stacked of q bit
only have to work about Is hours
a day"
Consistent Pattern
AS the investigation was being
shaped up, Senator Russell estab-
lished a pattern which he has
followed consistently. Basic in
that was his own personal belief
that all the facts about the Mac
Arthur dismissal and the events
leading up to it should be made
public insofar as the country's
military security would permit.
Another factor was that the
chairman insisted the committee
itself should be the final voice in
procedure, on the witnesses who
should be called and. in the end,
the determining agent of what
material brought out in the in
|vestigation should be disclosed and
what should be held secret in the
interest of security.
While Senator Russell repeat
Iedly has described himself as "the
creature of the committee" he has
not surrendered for one instant
his direction Of the committee
That has remained purposeful
But on basic questions he has
never hesitated to place before the
Joint committee for q deciding
vote any controversial issue that
Iarose.
Several such instances have ocs

discussed would involve top-Secret
matters
The Russell reasoning prevailed
and the hearings have been closed.
But the chairman recognized that
the public has a vital interest in
the proceedings. So he authorized
Ian elaborate arrangement by
which the transcript of the closed
hearings is made Immediately
available to the press after screen
ing for security. The system has
worked Unexpectedly we'll. Repro
ducing machines have been set up
near the committee room and
grind out page after page of testi-
mony within a few minutes after
lit has been given.
Met Fundamental Issue
Still another-and the most
serious problem confronted by
Senator Russell arose while Gen.
Omar Bradley the chairman of
the Joint Chiefs Of Staff, was tes-
tifying. That was whether Gen.
Bradley should be required to give
details of confidential White
House conversations leading up
to the dismissal Of Gen. MacAr-
thur.
The question had been asked by
Senator Wiley. Republican, Of
wisconsin. Gen. Bradley declined
to answer on the grounds that he
was q confidential adviser to the
President and his usefulness
would be destroyed If he had to
answer.
The issue thus raised was q
fundamental one involving the
traditional separation of powers
in this country among the legis-
lative, executive and judicial
branches Of the Government.
Senator Russell said he disliked
having to rule on the, matter but
he promptly gave what he de-
scribed as q lawyers "curbstone
opinion" that Gen. Bradley could
not be required to answer.

Informers Start
French Police Duel

MUNICH. - The interna-
tional gold smuggling. which
has recently assumed larger
proportions, develops some
strange twists.
Recently, in Strasbourg, on
the French German border, a
French Surete police force
moved in at midnight on a
house believed to be head
quarters for a gold-smuggling
gang. At the same moment,
from the, opposite side came a
corps of French criminal
police.
They opened fire on each
other in a fierce half-hour
gun battle. Inspector Barber
fell dead with a bullet through
his throat. No gold SNUG
glers were found.
The whole affair wouldn't
have come to light except that
Inspector Barbier's wife kept
wanting to know why her hus-
band, was killed and finally
went to the courts about 1t.
Then the judge naively
wanted to know why one
police force shouldn't know
that another police force was
making the same raid at the
same instant.
Inspector Altmeyer of the
criminal police explained:
Police informers gave the in
formation to each police
group. The informers have
now disappeared" ..
Result: A French parlia-
mentary commission in Paris
is looking into why there are
too many police forces in
France. Besides the above
two, there are five other
French police forces dealing
with different sections of
crime.

tlons recently voted by the United
Nations against Communist China.
He emphasized, however, that
he was opposed to a blockade
imposed by the United States
alone. He said the action should
be started-and started at once
through the United Nations,
and expressed the opinion that in
the event the Korean war keeps
dragging on such a course will
become '1ikely."
Affirmative Course
The testimony Of the 54-year-
old admiral created a profound
impression on the members of
the 26-man investigating COM
mittee-Armed Services and For
eign Relations. For them, it was
the first definite and affirmative
course Of action, short of all-out
war, that has been presented in
the course of the inquiry, aside
from the controversial program
advanced by Gen. Macarthur
himself.
That program has been re-
jected by the witnesses who have
been presenting the administra-
tons side of the controversy. It
called for economic sanctions and
a naval blockade more drastic
than the one proposed by Ad-
miral Sherman. for aerial bonn
|bardment of Chinese bases and
coastal centers and for the use
of the Chinese Nationalists troops
from the island of Formosa.
| Secretary of Defense Marshall
and other witnesses have said the
Macarthur program carried with
lit a grave risk of starting another
global war. But no firm alterna-
tive proposal was offered in the
! place of what many members of
the investigating committee fear
will become stalemate costly in
blood in Korea. It remained for
Admiral Sherman to set a more
affirmative course.

Order by Macarthur

The mystery Of the missing
Communists began last June 6
when Gen. Macarthur, then su-
preme commander for the Allied
powers, ordered the Japanese gov
to purge from public life
all "a members of the Communist
Party's Central Committee. The
next day, Macarthur told the
government to purge the II Red
editors responsible for policies of
Akahata (Red Flag, the party's
newspaper. The general called
"the mouthpiece for the
most violent of lawless elements
within the Communist Party"
In his letter to Prime Minister
Shigeru Yoshida, Gen. Macarthur
said Japan's Communists were
trying through perversion of
truth and incitation to mass vio-
lence to transform this peaceful
and tranquil land into an arena
of disorder and strife" The Reds,
he said, were aiming "at the even
tual overthrow of constitutional
government In Japan by force"
