Russians probably could overrun
all of Free Europe, temporarily
if they didn't care what happened
to Leningrad, Moscow, Kiev
Odessa, Stalingrad, Gorky, Che
|liabinsk, Sverdlovsk, Magnito-
gorsk, Vladivostok and several
other outstanding points on the
Russian map.
2. The period beginning one OF
two years from now when the
Russians cannot be sure of over
running Free Europe even though
they don't worry about the folks
back home. AS that period pro-
crosses their chances will grow
worse.
There is every logical reason
for believing that the defense OF
Free Europe will be successful
during both of those two periods
as long as certain basic conditions
are satisfied.
1t now seems probable that
these conditions will be fulfilled
The principal condition is an
absolute rock-bottom guarantee
of American participation.
A second condition is that the
United States, which is the only
great prosperous country in the
democratic coalition, should builo
up large reservoir of arms and
well-trained men to increase the
speed and power of its interven-
ton in both periods.
A third condition, essential te
the second period, is that the
countries of Free Europe should
raise a minimum number of divi-
sions-roughly calculated at 60
between now and 1853 or 1854
and that these divisions shoulc
be well-trained, equipped and led
A fourth condition is that the
countries Of Free Europe shoule
be kept free of social and econ.
omic troubles which can lead tt
Communist election successes o.
coups d'etat.
This means that their scanty
economies must not be wrecked
by exaggerated armament pro
grams.

CHRISTMAS, 1852

The experts tell this is the last Christmas, for a while at least when buyers will be able to enjoy easy hunting in their annual Christmas shop ping By next year, serious shortages will have occurred in number of fields and the holiday shop per will have to be content with reduced selection
 This year is to be plentiful one. Radio sets, automobiles, refrigerators coasters, furniture and other hard goods are in ample supply. Toymakers have supplied retailers with record-breakng stores and a record sales year is expected in this field
 While shortages of goods may affect most of us, this is, in reality only small part Of Christmas To those who have become disgusted with the over commercializaton of Christmas, the news Of future shortages will be of lesser concern
 Whatever the relative supply of goods is in the United States in the years to come we can be sure it will be large by world standards, and that the people of the United States and Alaska, even in times of shortage have more to be thankful for than any other people.

rehabilitation of Western Germ- any?
 So far only the Americans are providing important air power. Can NATO provide sufficient air power to neutralize Russian air power? In what plans and budgets of any nation, including the Uni ted States, is anything being said about the extent and capacity of the Russian air arm and the need for neutralizing it and its costs? True, General Vandenberg made a statement on the subject and we witness the astonishing Russian build-up and performance in Ko- req. But what of the plans for neu- traliZing Russian air power?
 The problem then that faces General Eisenhower is that he will have to report that the United States has been let down by our European Allies and has to depend upon the remilitarization of Ger many, which France fears as much as Russia objects to it. The cost of the entire proposition must fall on the American taxpayer at a time when the aforesaid taxpayer is becoming more conscious of taxes, waste and futility than ever before.
 When General Eisenhower is out of uniform, in the give and take of competitive campaign, these problems will be thrown at him for answer. He may have the answers, in which case his candidacy will be strengthened He may not have the , answers, in which case his reputa- tion may suffer.
 He will be asked:
 l. How many American troops will NATO require?
 ?. How does that compare with the contributions of other coun- tries, particularly Great Britain and France?
 5. How much money will the American taxpayer have to contri- bute to NATO?
 4. How will that compare with the contributions of other countries, particularly Great Britain and France?
 The Korean fiasco raises issues not only of competent planning by our military politicians but also as to the sincerity of their public announcements.

Behind McCarthy's Charges
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

(Seattle POSt-lntelllgencer)
 When he began his campaign against the Con- munist colony in the State Department Joe Mccarthy naturally antagonized the comrades and their fellow travellers and a noisy group of selfstyed liberals 5
 And sad to relate, quite few perplexed citizens with no affinity for Communism" succumbed to the letist counterattack against the hard-hitting Re- publican from Wisconsin.
 But now factual background has emerged to sustain the Mccarthy charges in the form of the November bulletin of the United States Civil Service Commission
 The report supplies data on the million federal employees screened" by investigators since the be- ginning of the loyalty program in March, 1947 Out of the total, some 16,622 cases were deemed serious enough to require field investigations by the FBI.
 Of these 1891 resigned from governmental jobs while the heat of an actual investigation was on. An additional 1,754 quit after the field investigations but before adjudication of their taken by the loyalty board of the federal departments.
 Thus in all, 3,645 resigned under conditions Of doubt before the facts were finally ascertained.
 While some of these may conceivably have re- signed for exraneous reasons the fact remains that they pulled out without clearing their names,
 Such data explain why Joe McCarthys campaign against Red termites in government has earned him the gratitude of millions of Americans
 It also explains why the synthetic counterattack against something called McCarthyism has collapsed of it's weight.

 It is generally accepted that General Dwight Eisenhower will resign from NATO on February 2l and will return to the United States. Tnat date Swiif mark the first anniversary of his assumption of the supreme command of the North Atlantic Treaty organization.
 It is generally assumed that by March l, General Eisenhower will be back at Columbia University and will declare himself to be a candidate for the nomination for President as a Republican. There seems to he no prospect of General Eisenhower being Democratic candidate under any circumstan- ces.
 Two problems face General Eis- enhower in this connection:
 l. AS architect of the North At lantic Treaty Organization, he must assume responsibility for its suc- cess or failure. In the event that he can report success, criticism will not be possible of his leaving the task before it is completed. He can say that he started it, that it got off to a good start; and that he can leave it in good hands while he runs for President.
 On the other hand, if the course of events shows that NATO is a flop, then he will have to. assume responsibility for leaving so great a venture hanging in the air.
 2. European cooperation with the United States in NATO is of such character that it may become a serious campaign issue. The. plan has been that this is not to be an- other Korea; that there will be genuine manpower cooperation among the nations composing NATO.
 But wc discover that Great Brit ain is not providing additional troops for NATO. Churchill is ei- ther playing cagey, that is, he is holding up cooperation until he gets more dollars here, or he actually, in the face of troubles in Egypt, Burma, Malaya and other places, cannot commit Great Britain any further.
 Equally, France can afford no more commitments than are at present available. The French in- sist that they spend as much on the defense of Indo-China as they get out of the Marshall plan. Also, the French are making no profits out of their colony.
 So, Eisenhower will have to de- pend upon Western Germany, which is being supported financial ly by the United States. The burden of German rearmament-l2 divis- ions-for the first year has been estimated at s14.000,0O0, 900. The NATO powers have already estimat- ed .000,00O,000 American aid will be essential for the next three years.
 The question arises whether the German people will stand for l2 divisions to be used by NATO with out important benefits accruing to the German people. For instance, will Western Germany agree to remilitarization, in the face of probable Russian reprisals, without full acceptance of the economic

/, tuck a gift certificate into your
card when you send flowers. or
buy her a straw or leather hand
bag in a summer version, always
considering her wardrobe and her
tastes. If she gardens, there are
sturdy but pretty aprons with
pockets to hold small tools. These
are useful for other pursuits, too
nice for the amateur artist, for
carrying accessories to the beach,
for simply wearing about the
house. There are also dress-up
aprons. transformers for simple
dresses.
Vacation-bound mothers might
like some of the soap leaves in a
little case that are easily carried
in handbag or overnight case, and
they will love the new perfume or
toilet water sticks that stay cool
and compact in handbag or lug
gage. or may be kept in the Office
if she's holding down an outside
LOB.
Whatever you buy, be sure that
it is suited to your mother in type
and coloring, and that it has that
little extra something that will
make her eyes shine-you can re-
member the things she's wanted
when she shopped for herself, or
the gifts that have pleased her in
