JUST BROWSIN'
5Y Paw r. HENRY

In this great Truman-Mac-
Arthur controversy now going on
the ordinary man in the street
wonders what is what, and who is
right. One thing is certain, the
country has shown its apprecia-
ton for a great General who has
done a great job in Japan and
Korea - Douglas Macarthur.
I am partly convinced that his
policy on the Korean situation is
the best one, just my opinion,
which is worth little. On h e
other hand, Harry Truman is
president of the United States
and Commander in Chief of the
armed forces. He has relieved
Macarthur of his command,
wisely or unwisely, it was his
right to do so regardless of how
the public feel about it.
It seems to me that it is now
time for Congress, the press and
everybody else to forget celebra-
tions and get down to business.
We are at war. l would like to
know just where the United Ma
tons come in in all this hula
baloo?

Iruniun-SoWet Oil Barter Agreement Shows Clearly
Moscow Pulled Strings in the Conflict With Britain

Roosevelt, that such a state

In spite of the efforts Of

this has not been possible be-
cause of the lasting hatred be-
tween Jews and Arabs, a hatred
which is greatly nourished by
Communist agents.
Western representatives preach
brotherly love, but these "diplo-
matte" appeals have had little
effect on the masses. The Mos
lem agents of the Kremlin
preach hatred. They are
listened to because they mingle
with the Arab masses and make
themselves part of them.

Constantine Brown:

The Iranian-Soviet oil barter
agreement announced last Mon
day shows clearly now that it
was MoScow's hand which pulled
the strings in the Iranian-Brit-
ish oil conflict.
Premier Mossadegh is at
tempting to minimize its impor-
tance. But those who have kept
close to developments in the last
few months realize that Russia
has won another outstanding
victory. Iranian oil supplies
henceforth can be considered
lost to the West. The resulting
oil shortage in Europe may
hasten gas rationing in this
country.
The barter agreement is a
mere pretext to deprive coun-
tries outside the Iron Curtain of
that vital strategic material. The
u. S, S. r. cannot obtain any
Oil from Iran. There is no pipe
line from Abadan to the Cas-
plan Sea or to any other point
on the Iranian-Soviet border.
The railway lines from South
ern Iran to the north are def
cient and cannot carry any sub
stantial quantity of oil in tank
cars. The building of a pipeline
from Abadan to any locality on
the Caspian Sea will take many
years.
Thus, although Moscow and
its satellites are not likely to
obtain any sizable quantities of
oil, the West will not be able
either to obtain the oil needed
for its industries and particu-
larly for its navieS and other
mechanical forces.
1t is true that America and
Britain have unWittingly played
into the Kremlin'S hands. Both
governments have been guilty
of unbelievable blunders. The
British Labor government, in
spite of its extreme liberalism
at home, acted as it did in the
days of Queen Victoria. 1t in
sisted on retaining the unfair
division of profits with Iran and
began to yield only when it was
too late.
Our Government played along
with Great Britain and refused
to give the Teheran government
when it still could have de-
MED Russia control over the
country-the promised (and
badly needed economic and
military assistance.
American Ambassador Henry
Grady in Teheran sent press
ing reports back to Washington
last year, urging a more en-
lightened policy. But his advice
was ignored until it was too
late and the strong man of Iran,
Premier Ali Razmara, was
murdered by fanatics in the
service of the Soviet Union.

EisenhoWer's Po|itico Aide
Maj. Gen. Wilton B. Persons, Soft-Voiced Albanian,
Appears Wherever GeneroI Ikes Interests Are at Stoke

PARIS. Sept. 19.-When Cen
eral Eisenhower undertook his
crusade in Europe he asked his
boss, General Marshall, then
Army Grief of Staff, to lend
him Mai. Gen. Wilton B. Per-
sons. Gen. Persons is a slight,
soft-voiced Albanian whose
speciality is liaison with Con-
gress and politicos generally
and whose nickname, Slick" )"
represents a well-deserVed trib-
ute to his technique.
Gen. Marshall was refusing
very little to Gen. Eisenhower,
but he would not give up Slick"
Persons. Gen. Persons, said Gen.
Marshall, was the best public
relations man in the Army and
he could not be spared from the
absolutely vital task of keeping
Congress we'll informed and con-
tented with the Army. Nor did
Gen. Eisenhower ever succeed
in getting Gen. Persons. al

quently thorny and often mis-
handled.
About two years ago. Gen.
Persons retired-he thought
and took over the pleasant and
rewarding task of head Of
6taunton (Va.) Military Acad-
emy. Then came the Supreme
Headquarters of the Allied Pow
ers in Europe (SHAPE), and
this time Gen. Eisenhower did
not have to buck Gen. Marshall.

entity concurred with London's
belief that Iran could be coerced
by economic means. When it
became evident that this was a
mistake both governments de-
cided to revise their policies.
But once more we did too little
too late. The game was already
lost when President Truman
sent w. Averell Hartman to ar
bitrate. Neither Washington nor
London wanted to accept the
fact that DR.. Mossadegh was not
free agent, but the prisoner OF
the extremists, whose actions
were prompted by Moscow.
Now we must face the stark
reality that we no longer shall
have access to Iranian oil sup
plies. But what worries our
military men now is the reac-
ton which this MoscoW-Teheran
transaction will have on the
other Middle Eastern states,
whose territories hold what oil
supplies remain in that area.
In Iraq, for instance, Britain
has enjoyed a preponderant po-
sition until recently. The Mosul
oil fields are considered only
second to those in Iran. A pipe
line running through Syria and
Lebanon carries the product of
these fields to the Mediter-
ranean.
In recent months there has
y been a good deal of anti-British
and anti-American sentiment in
those states. This may trans
late itself into an explosion of
hot warfare. Soviet agents
mostly Moslems from the
U. S. S R.-do not preach Com
munism or class warfare. Their
most impressive argument is
that America and Britain were
chiefly responsible for the crea-
ton of the state of Israel and
that America broke the pledges
given the Arabs by President
Evening star., 1951-09-19

It is always intriguing to
watch the attempted creation of
q new political party, or the at
tempted amalgamation of COM
ponents of the two major parties
in an effort to realign those
parties.
In the current project for
bringing Southern conservative
Democrats into the Republican
Party, directed by Senator Karl
E. Mundt, Republican, of South
Dakota, there appears to be a
mixture of both. 1t seeks, first.
a realignment of the two major
parties for the 1852 election and,
ultimately, growing from that, a
basic permanent realignment in
two parties with more clearly
defined PHILOSOPHERS, so that
there would be, in effect, two
new parties.
The immediate practical aim,
of course, is to attract enough
Southern conservative Demo-
cratic support to win an election
in 1852 for the long-denied Re
publican Party, and in that may
lie it's chief weakness.
The task of Senator Mundt
and his associates in the newly
created Committee to Explore
Political Realignment" is sur
rounded with difficulties, obvi-
ously, some inherent in tradi-
ton and long practice, as the
South Dakota Senator is we'll
aware.
One is suggested by Senator
Taft's laconic expression of
doubt of the practicability of
% the plan, though he said he
did not want to discourage it.
AS a matter of fact, one of the
Senator's leading supporters for
the 1852 Republican presidential
nomination participated in the
secret conferences here to
launch the new movement
Senator Brewster, Republican,
of Maine.
Senator Taft has a current
interest in the Southern Re-
publican setup, as do all candi-
dates for the party's nomina-
nation. Republican political
bosses in the South, some of
whom operate virtually private
political preserves, become really
important every four years at
the party's national nominating
convention because of the dele
gates, usually hand-picked, that
they control. Hitherto, Senator
Taft has had more contacts in
this group than any other
candidate or party leader,

and everywhar" that Gen. Ike's
interests are at stake.
He is not in charge of public
relations. That sometimes thank
less task belongs to razor keen
brigadier, Charles T. Buck
Lanham. With Gen. Lanham
are a number of faces that
would raise a shout of welcome
in bars from Tokyo to London
and return, wherever war or
Washington correspondents con-
gregate.
They include Col. Jock Law
renee, a press combat veteran;
1t. Col. Barney Oldf1eld for the
Air Force, and. for the Navy,
Comdr. Francis Loveless at
SHAPE and Capt. Charles
Duffy, former city editor of
the Washington Times-Herald,
aboard the Adirondack at
Naples with Admiral Carney,
boss of the fleet.
But the quiet word is that
Gen. Persons is both bottleneck
and filter for the great man
himself. Gen. Ike does not need
personal political instruction;
he is a natural born baby
kisser, alert and agreeable, but
wary.
What he cannot know-no one
can who has not steadily moni-
tored Washington-are the po-
litical undercurrent and which
politicians do what to whom
when the committee room doors
are firmly closed. This is where
Gen. Persons, with his long eX-
perience and his many friends,
comes in.
Evening star., 1951-09-19

Gen. Persons quietly stood by
in Washington. for example,
during the Macarthur hearings,
which were of so much import
to United States foreign policy
and SHAPE.
1t is typical of Gen. EiSen-
hoWer'S aStute avoidance of po-
litical pitfalls that he managed
without the appearance of eff
fort to keep clear of the great
Macarthur catharsiS. When the
storm broke, he instantly said to
Gen. Bradley that the best way
to protect the North Atlantic
policy and keep Americas Eu-
ropean Allies relaxed and conf
dent was for him to stay quietly
on the job here. becoming in no
way involved.
The chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of staff agreed. Gen.
Eisenhower then extended his
invitation to both Senate and
House Foreign Relations and
Armed Services Committees to
make their inspection of his
stewardship here. 1t was largely
accepted and successful. Never
is a long time. and Gen.
Eisenhower does not now feel
bound. since the tumult and
shouting have died down. to re-
main away from the United
States indefinitely. But he will
pick his times and places with
due regard for the prevailing
winds from Washington.
