been made public at the end
of that conference.
The former governor of Min
nesota told the Senators that
the conference was dominated
by a group headed by Prof.
baltimore. 1t recommended
that we consider the formula
ton of policy in the Far East
as a long-term problem be-
cause Russian Communism was
not nearly as aggressive as
Hitler's Naziism. And in any
event, whatever aggressive in
tentions Moscow might have
they were directed primarily at
Europe. This is point of view
which is debatable. But Prof.
baltimore also urged strongly
that America recognize at an
early date the Communist re-
gime in China. Because of the
anti Communist "hysteria" in
the United States the public
might not approve of such a
step, so Prof. baltimore advised
the State Department to have
Britain and India move first
and we would follow shortly
thereafter. He also insisted
that we turn over Formosa to
the Reds and if they wanted
the British crown colony of
Hong Kong we should allow
them to take it. Mr.. Stassen
also related that the baltimore
group urged that we suspend
all assistance to Nationalist
China; that we oppose the
blockade Of the China coast by
Chiang's navy and that we ex-
tend all possible economic help
to the Chinese Communists
while cutting off all support to
the non-C Communists. All these
points were strongly opposed by
Mr.. Stassen and the few others
who shared his views, but with
out success. At the end of the
three-day round table discus
sions, presided over by Ambas-
sador -at-Large Philip c. Jessup.
Mr.. Stassen approached him
and urged that Prof. Lattimore's
policies should not be followed.
There is a lot Of logic in what
baltimore proposes, was DR..

ever that proper bases still seem
to him the prime necessity for
global security. The Air Force
by virtue of its trade is natur-

Besides his globe, Gen. Nor
stad has one other circum-
stance constantly in mind: The
apparently well authenticated
report that Russia has a more
than substantial advantage over
this country in airplanes-and

Gen. Norstad is cautious in

Not long ago slight discrep-

Communist Louis Budenz-
something that will be cleared
up in a, future hearing soon
brought on an artificially de-
veloped furor. Demands were
made by administration Sena-
tors that the whole thing be
subjected to a new investigation
and that perjury might be in
volved.
Now, however, something far
more serious has occurred which
led Representative Timothy P.

to demand in the House of Rep
resentatives that there be an
investigation of possible per-
jury" by Secretary of State
Acheson in connection with con-
tradictions in testimony that he
gave on American policy toward
China.
The administration is strangely
silent and shows no such inter-
est in conflicting testimony as
1t did in the Budenz incident.
Mr.. Sheehan made it clear
that the testimony of Harold
Stassen, former Governor of
Minnesota and now president of
the University of Pennsylvania,
completely contradicts" Mr..
Acheson's statements before the
Senate Armed Services Commit
tee when it was investigating

Constantine Brown:

Former Gov. Harold Stassen.
now president of the University
of Pennsylvania, testified under
oath on Monday before the
McCarran subcommittee that
the State Department had
tended to implement the pro-
gram advocated by Professor
Owen baltimore in regard to
the Far East. He also testified
under oath that this cline" was
intended to help the Communist
domination of China.
Had it not been for the fact
that in 1850 Senator Joseph
Mccarthy denounced Professor
baltimore as the architect" of
our Far Eastern, policies, a
statement strongly denied by
the Baltimore professor and the
State Department, the testi-
mony Of Mr.. Stassen would have
been interesting but not spec
tacular.
In the light of the accusa-
tions and counter-accusations
which have been exchanged
since Senator Mccarthy pointed
his finger at Prof. baltimore,
the Stassen documented testi-
mony has become sensational.
The president of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania is a highly
respected national figure. He
has kept completely out of the
picture in the political battle
around "McCarthyism." More
over, he is considered a liberal
Republican.
His background gives weight
to the testimony he presented
automatically to the Nc
Carran Subcommittee. Mr..
Stassen was a member Of the
conference group invited by
the State Department to dis
cuss the policy of this country
in the Far East with particular
emphasis on China. The wit
ness presented to the committee
the stenographic notes of his
own statements at the meet
ing which lasted from October
6 to October 8, 1349. This
document was considered Sc
cret until Monday. Mr.. Stas-
sen put it in the record because
he said this classification did
not help the security of the
country and the minutes of all
the proceedings should have

Vigorously Denied Often Before

tect of our policies IN the Far
East had not the State Depart
ment attempted to follow them
fully. Evidence shown in the
last IL months indicates that we
intended to recognize the Red
regime at Peiping and would not
oppose admission to the United
Nations; that we had decided to
write off Formosa; that the
State Department considered
the Pacific of little Importance
to our security-until the OUT
break of the Korean war.
Mr.. Stassen related q hereto
fore unknown dramatic episode
which occurred at the White
House when Secretary Acheson
and Mr.. Jessup urged President
Truman in December. 1949, to
stop, with a dramatic" state
ment, five ships which were on
the high seas with arms and
ammunition for Chiang's forces.
Both diplomats said such a
statement would help further
the cause of peace in the world.
The late Senator Arthur Van
denberg, who attended that
White House conference, pro-
tested violently and carried the
day. Mr.. Truman refused to
recall the Navy transports "dra-
matically" or otherwise.
Mr.. Stassen pointed out the
speech made by Mr.. Acheson in
February. 1850, defining our line
of vital interests IN the Pacific
with Formosa and Korea ex-
eluded from that line; the secret
circular sent to our diplomatic
officers abroad to prepare for
eign governments for the idea
that Formosa might fall into
Communist hands and that we
did not consider that island Of
Importance to our security as
full acceptance Of Prof. Latti-
more's Zine" Its implementa-
ton was hampered by the ag-
gression of the Communists in
South Korea on June Is, 1850,
when we engaged our armed
forces.
Mr.. Stassen's testimony places
on Prof. baltimore the stamp
of architect of our Eastern
policy" which he has hereto
fore so vigorously denied.

a couple of symbols about which
to rally, until developments de-
termine the future course-if
any-of this incipient revolution
that Jimmy Byrnes is plotting.
The South Carolina governor,
who has been a key figure in so
many national Democratic con-
ventions, knows full we1i-as
does anybody else who knows
national politics-that it would
be impossible to nominate either
of the two Senators he has
named. And, if by some miracle
that should happen, that
neither, for obvious reasons,
could possibly be elected Presi-
dent. They are gold dust
twins-but without wings to
fly that high.
He knows also that, if every
Southern State delegation
should support his anti-Tru-
man aims en- bloc-which is
hardly likely-it would be i'm
possible to prevent Harry Tru-
mans denomination, If the
President should want it, just as
it was impossible in 1948 when a
preponderance of Southern dele
gates voted for Senator Russell.
If President Truman does not
seek reelection and Gov.
Byrnes says he does not think
he will-then the Byrnes South
wide movement. if well organ
lied, might give the South a
much better balance-of- power
bargaining position than before.
For the withdrawal of President
Truman would result in a more
open convention. The South
probably would have more of a
voice in selection of the presi-
dental candidate, in the plat
form, and might effect nomina-
ton of a Southerner as vice
presidential candidate. Such a
restoration of the South's in
fiuence in national conventions
is in Gov. Byrnes' mind. If
achieved that, of itself, would
bring credit to the South Caro-
lima governor which would
please him very much.

declined to participate unless he
was to be given afterward at
least a copy of the stenographer's
record Of what he himself said
at the conference.
So Mr.. Stassen supplied the
Senate committee with his own
remarks and then a summary of
the notes he took at the confer
ence. It seems strange that the
State Department. would attempt
to suppress what was said by 81
persons outside the Federal
service but such is the behavior
of bureaucracy that a secret
classification was given to the
conference record. When Mr..
Stassen was given the copy only
of what he himself had said, it
had on it a label warning him
that the document contained
information affecting the ma
tional interest of the United
States within the meaning of
the Espionage Act"
Neither Mr.. StaSSen nor the
Senators could see any "secur-
ity" reasons for suppressing this.
Certainly it wasn't in a class
with that famous stenographic
record of the Wake Island con-
ference which the administra-
ton surreptitiously supplied to
a newspaper. 1t was, subse-
quently learned that the record
by the stenographer at Wake

basis without any of the prin-

This is an excellent example
OF the abuses which the new
executive order by President
Truman, requiring suppression
of news at the source, makes
possible. 1t helps the admins

simo Chang Kai-shek by un-
loading ships of supplies meant
for the Chinese Nationalists.
Editors note: The State De-
partment yesterday denied that
either Mr.. Acheson or Mr.. JeSSup
had made such a proposal0
Mr.. StaSsen also uncovered
another contradiction far, more
sensational. He revealed that
Owen baltimore had far more
to do with the shaping of State
Department policy than Mr..
Acheson, by his testimony. has
heretofore led the public to be-
lieve.
Testifying under oath. Mr..
Stassen swore that, until the
Korean war broke out, the State
Department followed nine out of
ten of the recommendations
made by Mr.. baltimore at an in
formal round table conference
held under the auspices of the
Department of State in October,
1949. The tenth recommended
ton was that the Communist re-
gime be recognized.
Senator Mccarthy has charged
that Mr.. baltimore was the
architect" of American policy
in China and that only the ex-
posure of the whole trend of
policy prevented recognition Of
the Communist regime in Pei
ping by the United States.
The State Department has
sought up to now to give the irn-
preston that the October 1949
conference was just an informal
gathering of 81 outside partici-
pants-presumably scholars and
experts in Far Eastern affairs
and that Mr.. Lattimore'S part
was quite insignificant. 1t seems
that a stenographic record Of
the conference was kept but the
State Department a few days
ago declined to furnish copy
of it to the Senate Internal Sc
curity Committee when it re-
quested the document. So Mr..
Stassen revealed what he knew
of the conference. 1t developed
that, when he was told in Octo-
ber, 1949, that a stenographic
record would be taken, he asked
for a copy of the complete tran
script but was refused, and he

him more, however, TO be the in
strument of Harry Truman's
defeat, which seemingly is his
chief abstraction. Where this
might lead him, if Mr.. Truman
should be renominated, it is
hard to tell. That would depend
on the strength of his personal
feeling. He preferred, in talk
ing here, to let any next step
whether another independent
southern movement, or what
await the conventions outcome.
He did make it clear that he re-
CARDS a coalition of southern
Democrats with Republicans as
impractical, and shut the door
tightly against himself as the
candidate of any party.
AS yet, SO far as practical
Southern politicians are con-
cerned including governors here,
Gov. Byrnes seems to be playing
a lone hand. 1t is, to be true,
early. Other Southern leaders in
Office are playing 1t cagey. The
impression at the Governors
Conference here, correct or not,
was that the spirit of revolution
among Southern leaders has
died down somewhat. That would
forecast difficulties. in event of
a "walkout" from the 1852 con-
vention and an independent
party such as in 1948, in getting
any outstanding Sbutherner to
make the break from the Demo-
cratic Party and head it up,
anybody. for example. of the
stature of Senators Russell and
Byrd.
Few men who have attained
their position and influence in
their party and in Washington
are ready to give that up-even
to beat Harry Truman by break
ing the South away from him,
which would be the object of an
independent movement.
They remember what hap
pened to j. Strom Thurmond,
also a governor of South Caro-
lima who, in case you've forgot
ten, was the presidential candi-
date of the Dixiecrats in l948
and now has sunk back into

land once called, "innocuous
desuetude."
