Forouk Fails in Try
To Hire Night Club
For Exclusive Use
By The Assoeiafed Pres.

TAORMINA. Sicily, June g.
All the Kings horses and all the
Kings men couldn't hire night
club for Egypt's sovereigns.
Attendants of honeymoonine
King Farouk and his 17-year-old
dark-eyed hartman tried to hire
this resort towns La Palmal

But Catania born Swiss Pro-
prietor Fritz Metscer said hi
couldn't do that because tables
already had been reserved by
other clients. The best he could
do. he said, were several tables.
The tables were taken for
Egypt's sovereigns, and the police
lines that have become a charac-
teristic mark of this royal honey
moon rolled into place. Scores OF
police surrounded the club anG
several took places within it. But
Farouk and hartman never ap-
peared.
1t was learned today that thu
presence of newspapermen annie
the La Palmar clients probably
frightened away the King anc

not even the greatest human
considerations. deter them from
their disastrous course.
The sincere peace efforts Of
the United States and its allies
are being rebuffed. not because
the Chinese and their Russian
masters believe they can throw
the United Nations forces out
of Korea, but because the
Kremlin is making too good use
of the fighting for the perfec-
tion of the war machine which
it one day expects to loose upon
the world.
But just as Spain was only
the first of the testing grounds
for World War II, Korea un-
doubtedly will be followed by
other campaigns under still diff
ferent conditions which will add
fresh lessons in war for the
Reds.
Russia made good use of the
lessons she learned in Finland.
in preparation for the German
attack of June, 1941. The re-
Sistance of the Firms, relatively
primitive in many respects.
taught the Russians, for one
thing, to get rid of their politi-
cal commissar system. They did
abolish it during World War II,
but later revived it for peace
time purposes. 1t apparently
has not served a particularly
good purpose among the Chi
nese in Korea and may be
thrown out again, when the
chips are down.
1t is comforting for Ameri-
cans and other Western peo-
Piles to know that as long as
the Russians insist on keep
ing the Korean pot boiling we
are deriving from the conflict
all the lessons we can, too.

United States, or to China
with Canton within $50 miles
flying distance? Would the
United States tolerate the exist
ence of hostile base 100 miles
off the coast Of North Caro-
lina?"
Mr.. Acheson describes Hong
Kong: Important as an obser-
vation point from which a great
deal of important work can be
done in China" Is China likely
to tolerate such a center. when,
as Mr.. Acheson admits, Hong
Kong requires its very food and
water from the Chinese main
land, and can therefore be re-
duced by blockade?
How can we expect others to
tolerate what we ourselves would
not?
The only hope for peace is to
recognize certain facts, however
unpleasant, and return to the
exercise of diplomacy on the
basis Of such mutual interests
as can be discovered.
One fact is that no national
revolution has ever been realized
except by war, and that external
intervention always consolidates
revolutionary regimes. and turns
them more fiercely nationalistic.
Victory in Korea cannot-ac-
cording to all the generals-be
guaranteed by military means
even at an incalculable risk.
But the Korean war cannot
conceivably be ended by diplo-
matte means either, if no diplo-
matte situation is encouraged.
For, obviously, no one can nego-
tiate with a regime which it is
it's intention never to recognize,
and. if possible to destroy!

1t is not difficult to see why
the Russians and Chinese are
cold to any peaceful settlement
of the Korean conflict. 1t Is
providing them with a testing
ground and combat school
which could be acquired in no
other way if peace were al
lowed to descend in Korea.
Just as Russia, Germany and
Italy used the Spanish civil
war of 1869 as the testing
ground for World War II. Rus
sia now uses Korea for the
came purpose, since complete
expulsion of the Allies from
the peninsula has been proved
impossible without committing
vastly greater quantities of men
and equipment.
OF course, by keeping the
Korean war going for this pur-
pose the Russians also are pro-
viding the Allies-against their
will-with an equally good bat
tlefield in which to develop to
higher points of perfection the
arms and fighting men on
whom we depend for defense
of the West against Soviet ag-
gression.
Already Korean combat vet
Grams are being deployed to
Gen. Eisenhower's European
army for application there of
the lessons learned in Korea.
The new American divisions be-
ing sent to Germany will un-
dergo intensive training with
instructors who have learned
their lessons the hard way.
1t is tragic for Korea, of
course, as it was for Spain that
the land and it's people should
be put to such use. But when
aggressors are set firmly on
their path of conquest, nothing,

In those years"
Even with senatorial immu-

Senator Brewster's proof con-
sisted Of a paragraph out OF
newspaper interview in March.

Ludden, who served in China
for several years. Mr.. Ludden
had once made a 7-month trip

That was the evidence, all of
it, offered by Senator Brewster.

other factors, such as the emerg-

The hearings have forced Mr..
Acheson to reveal the absurd
dilemma of our Formosa policy.

cuse for intervening. Mr.. Ache

AYERS we will use military force

That argument cuts both
ways. If the United States is
justified in using military force
to prevent Formosa from falling

Chinese regime justified in US
ing force to prevent its remain

whom is Formosa of basic

Grady Reported Through
As Mediator in Dispute
By the Asseeiofed Press


BALTIMORE. June 9 (P.-The
Baltimore Sun said yesterday that
the American Ambassador to
Iran. Henry F. Grady, has bowed
out as a mediator in the British
Iranian oil dispute after a British
request to the effect that he
mind his own business"
A Teheran dispatch from
Thomas O'Neill, Sun staff CORE
spondent, said Sir Francis Shep-
herd. the British Ambassador tc
Iran, told Mr.. Grady that his ef-
forts to bring the parties together
had embarrassed" the British
and placed their negotiators in ar
awkward position.
Mr.. Grady has tried for weeks
to get the two parties together for
compromise agreement, and the
British are sending delegation
to Iran to discuss the issues.
Mr.. O'Neill said the point al
issue was Mr.. Grady's suggestion
that the oil company "sweeten'
the prospects of negotiation by
offering unsolicited funds to help
the Iranian government through
a financial crisis. The Iranian
government depends heavily on oil
royalties for its support, but had
received none since March.
Mr.. O'Neill quoted British En-
bassy sources that Sir Francis
complained to Mr.. Grady that the
Ilatter's suggestion embarrassed
British negotiators because any
monetary offer they had in mind
had been weakened in advance by
IIranian anticipation of it.
The Sun correspondent said Mr..
Grady dropped at once his efforts
to mediate the dispute.
