1aifca|Is Korea War.
Unnecessary; Hits
U. 5. Foreign Policy
By the Assoeiaisd Press

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Nov. l.
Senator Taft of Ohio said last
night the United States seldom
has had such a disastrous for
eign policy
The candidate for the Republi-
can presidential nomination-here
to WOO convention delegates and
to. aid a G. o. P. fund raising
drive-said the Republican Party
offers new approach to foreign
policy.
G. O. P. Aims Outlined.
It's aims, he said at a $50a-
plate dinner attended by 500
under sponsorship of the Repub-
lican Action Association of Rhode
Island. should be to:
Preserve the liberty of the
people of the United States, and
to preserve the peace until then
liberty is threatened"
Senator Taft said that foreign
policy is the major item of three
ready-made issues for the G. o. P.
campaign in 1852.
He listed the others as corrup-
ton in Government, and the
spread of bureaucracy with rising
taxes which accompany the $50
cialistic program of the admins
tration."
Foreign policy is the predomi-
nate interest of the American
people today. and probably will
be in 1882" he asserted.
Korean War Cited.
Everything this Congress has
done grows out of our foreign
policy.
Boys are being drafted for at
least two years service in the
armed forces, and are being killed
today in Korea, because of mis-
takes in foreign policy"
Terming the Korean war "a
wholly unnecessary war" Senator
Taft said there can be no more
justified condemnation of foreign
policy than that arising from an
unnecessary war"
yet" he added, 1.-The very men
asking for continued control of
foreign policy are the same who
have made these mistakes.
Surely their judgment cannot
be trusted again"

III. S. Armen in Korea Unlikely
ToGet Better Jet Fighter Planes

|by a framework of beams and
trusses. Now the skin of the plane
itself carries much. even a ma
jority of the weight. So. among
other requirements. extremely
powerful, heavy mills for pro-
ducing the skins of the planes are
needed.
Then there is the difficulty of
getting together or training the
highly skilled labor needed for
Iairplane manufacture. Skilled la
Dor is scarce in many big plane
manufacturing regions for several
reasons. Trained workers of World
War II have gone to peacetime
Jobs. Other industries compete
for those still available. But there
is even a difference in the kind OF
worker needed in this war. Rob-
Iert E. Gross. president of Lock-
heed Aircraft Corp, pointed that
up this way in recent address
I'm 1943. we figured that for a
very specialized radar and elec-
tronic job. we could get along
with one such technician for every
thousand employees. Today, we
need one out of "a to be such a
Itechnician. In 1943, one out of %
was an engineering employe; to-
day, one out of eight"
But lead time in itself accounts
for neither all the time nor all the
reasons for the many months to
get plane into production.
Before lead time" starts with
the awarding of a firm produc-
tion contract there is the period
of design and development. That
may run from two to five years
including the drawing board work
and the building of couple OF
prototype models for flight test
ing and for static tests of strain
and other features.
Even when a design is decided
upon Congress had provided au-
thority or funds for mass produc-
tions, it often is slow business
working out an agreement with the
prime contractor and whatever
other firms may be involved in
the production. The Air Force
estimates that normally about 90
days are required to negotiate a
detailed, definitive contract. Until
it has a firm understanding, nc
company wants to start buying
tools and hiring workers.
Although the airplane may be
in production and deliveries al
ready beginning to go to the All
Force. there still may be unfore-
seen delays entering the "leao
time" factor.
Labor disputes are one of them
Gen. Nathan F. Twining, Air Force
vice chief of staff, in a speech al
Boston last month, included among
these unforeseen contingencies
a strike at an aluminium plant
producing material for forgings
and extrusions in warplanes.
Even the Air Force itself causes
delays in production. It may want
"a change somewhere in a power
plant, or gun location or aiming
system, or in the airplane's con-
troll system. These changes may
be dictated by sound experience
under battle conditions, but never
theless they produce at least some
interruption in the flow of the
production line.

Casualties among United Ma

Americans.
The Defense Department in

about 95 per cent of the U. N.
Itotal-since the war started June
I25, 1850. The latest American
Itabulation lists 1888 killed in
action. 1858 missing, and 68.641
wounded.
Total announced casualties
among other U. N. forces were
5,575
Casualties among the North
Koreans and Chinese were much
higher. The Pentagon estimated
Communist losses through Octo-
Der l3 at l.402.504.
Losses among the Republic OF
Korea forces Swelled the anti
Communist figures considerably.
Through June the South Koreans,
who are not members of the
United Nations. had lost 212,544
men. That made announced losses
totaling 313,71l among units
fighting under U. N. command.
Like the South Korean computa-

Canada, $50; Greece, 312: the

Egypt's permanent delegate to the
United Nations, said tonight the
U N, was falling short in prevent
ing another world war.
He spoke in broadcast series
sponsored by the U. N. on the
theme The Price of Peace"
AT the present moment, un-
fortuna tely, the world seems to be
dangerously heading for a third
world war, unless much more in
behalf of peace is done by the
United Nations and by its men,
berS than what has been done so
far Fawzi said.
For all the sessions of The Gen

Gus efforts of the various U. N
organs, with the well-nigh to $50
meetings of the Security Council
the structure of the world peace
and security is as shaky as only
an ill-wisher would want it to be. "
Part of the blame, Fawzi said
was due to failure of the Security
Council to set up an armed U. N
force and to regulate national
armamentS. He also blamed eco
nomic weakness in areas through
