Macarthur To Arrive In
San Francisco Tonight
POLICIES JEOPARDIzED WORLD
PEACE, GENERAL BRADLEY SAYS

1I1l1ANC, AF Ik1L II AT|-
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, five-star
peer of Gen. Douglas Macarthur,
today declared Asia military pol
icies advocated by the deposed
commander would "jeopardize
world peace"
Bradley was the first of the
Homecoming Generals five-star
brothers in rank to speak out
publicly against the theory of
carrying the war to China since
President Truman dismissed Mac
Arthur last week. Bradley did
not mention MacArthur's name.
Last years quick United Ma
tons action in Korea, Bradley
declared, may have stayed the
Kremlin's hand as it was about
to precipiate World War Three.
Bradley roundly backed the
Presidents stand against MacAr-
thurs ideas and defended the ad-
ministration's policy of limiting
the war in Korea. AS chairman of
the joint chiefs of staff, Brad
ley has a large part in policy
making.
In a speech prepared for de-
livery to the National Association
of Radio and Television Broad
casters, Bradley also declared:
l. The Korean War, under pres
ent conditions. may be headed to-
ward a staiemate, but it can be
brought to an honorable con-
cluSion.
2 The United States will not
wage a preventive war.
3. The one price the u. S. will
not pay for peace is appeasement.
4. The use Reds have made
of air bases in Manchuria to date
has not warranted UN. bombing
of them.
5. Action against aggression in
Korea upset Communist plans in
Asia, at least temporarily prevent
ing Red moves in Indochina and
perhaps saving Thaiiand and For
moSa.
6. Any attempt to settle the
world crisis by an ultimatum-
perhaps accompanied by threat
to bomb Russia-is military inn
practicable and might backIash.
In places, Bradley's viewpoint
on the situation was the same as
MacArthur's. He disagreed on
what to do about it,
Bradley made it plain that Il
have no intention to entering the
foreign policy field or even urging
a particular policy in the con-
duct of foreign affairs. Conduct
of foreign affairs is civilian
responsibility
Bradley agreed with Mac
Arthur's recently expressed view
that the war in Korea may be
headed for stalemate. He de-
clared:
There is no early end in sight
to the Korean War under pres
ent conditions. AS far as we can
see now there is nothing transitory
nothing temporary about the Com
muniSts' determination to drive
us out of Korea, and, if possible
to destroy our forces completely .
Bradley said:
Success in Korea may prevent
a new incident, and may prevent
World War III. Failure in Korea
will invite another aggression"
United States objectives ir
Korea, he said. are:
l. ITO protect and maintain oui
form of government and our way
of life against any challenge. Or
this point we recognize no limita
tion of expenditures or of exer
ton"
2. ITO speak peace by every
means at our command bu
there is one price we will not pay
-appeasement"
To assure peace. not only fol
ourselves, but for all others. Fol
this reason we support the United
Nations"

Grass Silage
Doesn't Equal Corn
Silage Feed Value

Grass silage just isn't the same
as corn silage.
Legume or legume-grass mix
lures have more protein, but do
not have as much energy value as
good corn silage.
William II. Henderson. Sussex
County Agricultural Agent, says
dairymen should remember this if
they switch to grass silage.
If grass silage is fed heavily, a
low protein concentrate should be
used. but if extra roughage or
grain should be fed. This extra
feed will boost the energy content
of a grass silage feeding program
to where it should be- 1t is also
needed to keep up body weight. The
grain mixture can be made up en-
tirely of farm grains.
If you want to go heavy on grass
silage feeding, Henderson recon-
mends feeding it after both milk
ings. Give the cows enough to last
two to four hours. If you cut down
on silage, boost hay Then feed the
silage shortly after morning milk
ing. Under reduced silage feeding.
