DEAR BABE:
Well we may have to have a
cease fire In the ~cease-fire pro-
ceedings. ALI the enemy wants is
our two front teeth. Like ! was
afraid of from the first, the whole
idea is to switch the Korean war
from Korea to the foot of 43rd Street
in New York. The Reds may even
propose that we get the whole BUSH
ness back on television under a Chi
nese sponsor, who will, Of course, be
just a volunteer. :
You got the wrong idea In your
note asking me about the "buffer
strip" being necessary to an armis-
tice. It has nothing to do with
Gypsy Rose Lee. A buffer strip Is
a military term and means a
stretch of land on each side Of the
38th parallel. So don't worry. I have
been very busy in my job as a
checker with the cease-fire delega-
tons, but what we need on u side
is slicker publicity men. The Reds
are always trying to rig up the
scenery so our side will get the
worst of it. I suppose you read how
at the huddles so far we got in to
find a load of armed Reds present
so the Connie world would get pho
tographs that made it look like they
was in complete charge and we was
apologizing for living. That's been
changed now but I wouldn't be sur
prised if the Reds doctored up all
photos to make it appear like they
was Napoleon and we was Howdy
Doody.
Did you get a load of the Red
propositions? They demand that we
bug out back of the 38th parallel,
giving up all that a lot of good Joes
died for. It is like a guy getting
tossed out of a saloon and offering
to talk peace If the fellow who
threw him out will leave the saloon.
cali foreign forces to leave
Korea as 500 as possible" -.
you know what that means.
Check on the record and see II
You can find any case where
the Commies ever kept their
side of that agreement. In this
cast Il could be an even big
ger headache because the Reds
claim they are not foreign
forces but just visiting volun-
teers. The only forces to bug
out would be our side. Far be 1t
from me to be technical. Like
all the other G.I.'s I want to get
out of, this gruesome country
where q mountain Is just .
lump on another mountain. But
I would rather not get out as q
result Of taking q sucker punch
and turning over all the South
Korean homeless mothers and
kids to the tender mercies OF
the North Koreans, the Red CHI
nese and Big Joe.
II the Reds are Ieveling the cease
fire should take place with both
sides holding where they are. Other.
wise, in a football game when one
side has the ball in enemy territory
and time is called out the side max
ing the gain should 60 back behind
its own goal posts and start all
over again. Like I said, In all the
cease-fire huddles the Reds beat
us to the punch In publicity and
propaganda. They even carried guns
to give the idea our brass which
carried only cigarettes and Coke
was only on a guest panel.
Peace is so tough these days that
it is hard to tell it from war and
Sherman made the understatement
of history when he pulled that one
WAR is hell" Hell could u Sher-
man for libel. The best we seem to
get out of wars today is a return
engagement. He'll is different. Once
you get out of that, you are not
expected to come back for an en-
core. I hope, y
Well, do not worry. Everything
will come out all right in the wash.
