identifying characteristic. He
Is a man of obvious deter

uality, but regardless Of the
favor Of your politics, you've
got to admit that he's q sin

otherwise, to let you know of

Uzzell said there was no lego
evidence" from Mr.. Truman.
The only indication of any
vanity concerned his hair and
that was quite understand
able, the artist said.
Mr.. Truman said the bar
Der had given him a 'rube'
haircut" Mr.. Uzzell explained.
Before the sittings were
over, there was a warm con-
geniality between them and
the President was as much
interested in Mr.. UzZell and
the portrait as the artist was
in Mr.. Truman. The Presi-
dent wanted to know how Mr..
Uzzell's art career started.
MIR. Uzzell, who was born AZ
years ago in Little Rock. Ark,
explained that. even though
he started painting before he
was 10, his parents wanted
him to become lawyer. The
President replied that his
parents also had wanted him
to be a lawyer.
You seem to have done
very WE'LL" the artist observed
and Mr.. Truman laughed.
Mr.. Uzzell studied in France
and Spain and taught at the
University, of Southern Cali
fornia. He has painted por-
traits of social leaders, movie
stars, industrial and financial
bigwigs and his work has
been exhibited widely. His
home studio Is in Palm Beach,
but when in Washington he
uses the studio of his artist
friend, Walter X. Bachrach.

Dean Says Our A-Bomb pile
Has Prevented World War
BY the Assoeiaied Press

DALLAS, April 81. Gordon
Dean, head of the United States
atomic energy program, says the
Nations atomic stockpile thus far
has prevented a third world war.
The chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission spoke yester-
day before hundreds of lawyers
lat an international law and rela-
tions institute of the American
Bar Associations. Southwestern
regional convention.
Mr.. Dean said the Russians
have added a new twist to aggres-
sions, in which the satellite spills
blood for the principal aggressor
without identifying the principal
laggressor in the local conflict /"
This new technique of aggres-
sion characterizes the present
crisis. The present crisis is the
possibility of total war, but more
specifically 1t is the Korean war
in which Russia has SO magnani-
mously permitted the North
Koreans and Chinese to spill their
blood in the cause of total Soviet
aggression he said.
Mr.. Dean said Americas atomic
energy stockpile has made the
crisis limited one instead of a
lmajor one.

or risk the certainty that Rus
sia or Red China will assume
Japan's defense-i.e.. add Japan
to the Soviet empire.
In short, the gravest crisis
that has ever confronted West
ern civilization is due to the
Vests having overreached it
self, to having desired total vic
tory, and to having believed that
total victory over "the forces
of evil" would usher in millen-
MUM of total peace. But the
Republicans share response
bility with the Democrats for
: shortsightedness.
Such a millennium could never
be furthered via the disarma-
ment of bad" versus good"
nations. The only logical road
to peace via disarmament would
be the total disarmament of
every state in the world. But no
peace loving" nation advocates
that. Instead, they have advo-
Gated peace based on force to
repel aggression-without hav-
ing such overwhelming military
superiority as would prove a de-
terrent to any challenger.
Without the force, the ad-
ministration committed this
country. and a reluctant ma
jority of voters in the u. N. As
sembly, to repel Communist
aggression wherever it might
occur, but with the mental res
ervation that such police actions
must never involve a major
power, and bring on a world
war.
The absurdity of this notion
has been illustrated in Korea.

sal of Gen. Macarthur is wheth-

This implies that our air
forces will receive the green
light only after the Red avia-
ton has started operating on a
large scale. incidentally, this
reporter was informed by the
Pentagon that he was mistaken
when he wrote in his column
April 18 that the State Depart
ment had a heavy hand in
writing the flve-star generals
speech.
Responsible officials of that
department pointed out that
most of the points dealt with
by Gen. Bradley in his Chicago
speech had already been stated
by him in an article published
under his signature in the Oc-
tober. 1850, issue Of the Read
er's Digest.
This information should be
welcome to all those who, notic-
ing the similarity of thinking
between a first-class military
mind like Gen. Bradley and the
diplomatic thinking of Secre-
tary of State Acheson and his
Far Eastern assistant, Dean
Rusk, suspected "the State De-
partment's heavy hand" A sol-
dier like Gen. Bradley knows
well enough that there is no
substitute for victory, regardless
of whether nation is engaged
in a limited or unlimited war.
Politicians, who live by COM
promise. seldom agree with the
truth. And there are many able
military men at this moment
who wonder how good is our
automatically inspired strategy

munist bases until they have

Ex-Nazi Prisoners Ask
S333 Million in Pay Of US
BY the Associated Pres,

FRANKFURT. Germany, April
|2l.-The Association of Former
German War Prisoners in the
United States filed claims yester-

The association says it has
10000 members in West Germany.
All prisoners were given small

amount it asks includes interest
on sums they should have been
paid when discharged.
The United States High Com

and possibly Russia.
But no leadership or party in
Congress has challenged the
whole assumption on which this
war is based. Both Republicans
and Democrats are upholding
the Truman doctrine-the Re-
publicans more energetically
than Mr.. Truman's State De-
partment. The Republicans and
MacArthurites are more logical.
But they are also more danger
Gus. And in that struggle the
Trumanites can hardly lose.
The Republicans cannot de-
feat the Trumanites by being a
war party. because Mr.. Truman
himself heads the war party
favoring small, useless, and in
decisive wars. My guess is that
the people prefer even such
wars to bigger and better ones.
The Republicans could defeat
the Trumanites only by being a
peace party. favoring no wars
at all except as compelled by
the minimum necessities of
United States defense. and of
what remains of Western civili-
zation. The Republicans had
their great chance when the
President put his own interpre-
tation on American commit
ments under the United Nations
and, usurping congressional
powers. sent Americans to die
in Korea on a mere hunch that
the war could be localized
But we doubt whether the
Truman foreign policy will be
basically challenged at all. For
the Republicans are themselves
in it-up to the eyes.

Dorothy Thompson:

We wonder whether the in
quiry in "all the administra-
tion's foreign policy" initiated
by congressional Republicans,
will raise any fundamental
questions. And we greatly doubt
whether the line being taken by
the Republicans will benefit
their chances in 1852.
Al real investigation would re-
quire a recapitulation and analy-
sis Of fundamental errors in the
course of World War II. We
think the fundamental error
was to believe that the destruc-
ton Of any great nation ever
furthers the cause of peace. We
believe postwar disasters began
with the reduction of war aims
to unconditional surrender"
and refusal to consider any
peace which would not leave
Germany and Japan total vac
uums.
We now realize that the di-
vision of Germany, and her
total defenselessness, have laid
Western Europe wide open to
political penetration and mill
tary conquest from the East,
forced Western Europe and the
United States to assume re-
sponsibility for the defense of
SO million Germans who cannot
possibly be defended without
their own efforts, and given the
Soviet Union, via the Potsdam
Agreement, a case for declar-
ing that German rearmament
would be a breach of treaty and
an act of war.
Similarly, in Japan, total dis
armament, fixed in the Japa-
nese constitution, means that

Chances Better for Peace
In Korea, Lie Believes
BY The Associated Press

CAIRO, April 21.-Trygve Lie
said last night he believes there
is better chance now for nego-
tiation and conciliation in Korea
The United Nations secretary
general was asked at a news con-
ference if he thought Gen. Mac
Arthur's removal made chances
better for getting a cease-flre. He
replied:
II have repeatedly refused any
comment about Macarthur and
still refuse. But as the situation
now stands I think there is a better
chance, a better opportunity than
until now for negotiation and for
conciliation."
Mr.. Lie is here for a three -day
visit at the invitation of the
Egyptian government and the
Arab League. He said his tour OF
the Middle East had no political
purpose, and that talks with
statesmen in this part Of the world
were aimed at promoting the
United Nations.

and are ready for another
drive.
Gen. Macarthur has warned
Congress that the Communists
in Asia are playing for keeps.
They have d united front with
the Russians, with whom they
are pursuing common purposes
to dominate Asia and defeat the
United States. We, on the other
hand. are handicapped by the
''mellownesS" of our allies in
the United Nations. Not only
are they contributing very little
to the military effort of a cam
paign undertaken in their name
Ito which we have contributed
more than 80 percent of the
military effort-but they are
making desperate efforts to ap-
pease the enemy.
The recent moves by London,
though rejected by the State
Department, have given more
comfort and encouragement to
the enemy than if the entire
British force in Korea had been
wiped out by the Communists.
Moscow's plans are thriving
because of the lack of unity Of
purpose among the nations
which decided last June to repel
aggression in Korea. The Com
munist conspirators do not care
where they win their victories.
To them the Far East is as i'm
portant as Europe.
Our diplomats still are con-
cerned principally with Western
Europe. Asia to them is of Sec
ondary Importance. They are
still the prisoners of the World
War II mentality, when the
European dictators had to be
defeated first. They refuse to
realize that we are threatened
now by a combination of East
ern and Western Asiatics.

ang Kai-shek's troops TO the
mainland. It wasn't surprising
therefore that Republican SEN
ators and Representatives leaped
to their feet to give him the
biggest cheer of the day. But
it made you wonder. Had Gen.
erals Bradley. Collins and VAN
denberg and Admiral Sherman
been telling Macarthur one
thing, while allowing the Presi-
dent to tell the people some
thing else?
So, as soon as 1t was avail
able in cold print, you read the
text of the speech to see ex-
actly what Gen. Macarthur had
said. He had said that for en-
tertaining these views he had
been severely criticized, despite
my understanding that from q
military viewpoint the above
views have been fully shared by
practically every military leader
concerned with the Korean
campaign. including our own
Joint Chiefs of Staff"
Which, it is fairly clear. does
not mean what at first it seemed
to mean. ALI 1t means is that
the Joint Chiefs of Staff would
readily agree that, all things
being equal or if there were no
other considerations involved,
it would be good military tactics
to do the things he suggested.
It doesn't mean that the Joint
Chiefs of Staff agree that there
are no other considerations in
volved, considerations which the
President and the Nation must
take into account.
Nevertheless, Gen. Macarthur
in his carefully, not to say de-
ceptively, phrased statement,
has raised question that should
not be allowed to remain q ques-
ton. The testimony of Gen.
eral Bradley and his colleagues
is now demanded and with 1t

Gen. Macarthur may have. This

Constantine Brown:

Behind their present method
ical withdrawa. the Chinese
Reds are building up the largest
and most powerful counter
offensive they have undertaken
heretofore.
According to calculations Of
the intelligence services in Ko-
rea and Tokyo. this may occur
in the next two or three weeks.
Our present operations are de-
Scribed as an offensiye-defen-
siye. 1t. Gen. James A. Van
Fleet is aiming to keep the en-
envy of balance as long as pos
Sible in order to soften the blow
when 1t comes.
It was with this probability
in the back Of his mind that
Gen. Macarthur stated in his
historic speech to Congress that
''in war there is no substitute
for victory" These words made
a deeper impression on his in
formed listeners than anything
else he said.
It is useless now to quibble
over whether we are in a limited
or undeclared war. The facts.
regardless of how much diplo-
mats and politicians want to
obscure them, are that China is
nearly ready to throw her best
troops against us. She is taking
full advantage of our determi-
nation not to bomb her mill
tary installations across the
Yalu river and is massing new
forces.
In the face of the gathering
offensive the strategy adopted
by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in
regard to the bombing of the
Chinese air bases was clearly
set forth by Gen. Bradley in his
speech last Wednesday in Chi
cago when he stated "the use
the Reds have made of their
