How Truman and Macarthur
See Big Issues in Far East
Stands on Various
Points Of Policy.
Are Compared
By the Associoted Press

The big issues of Far East
ern policy as seen by Gen.
Macarthur and the Truman
administration:
Korea.
Macarthur view - An early
and decisive victory can be won
only by striking directly against
Red China with economic and
naval blockades, air action over
Manchuria and the use of Ma
tionalist troops from Formosa
to attack the Chinese Reds.
These measures are necessary
to deal with the situation Gre
ated by Red China's interven-
ton in Korea.
Truman administration view
The Macarthur proposals run
a dangerous risk of starting all
out war in the Orient and per-
haps touching off World War
III. Victory will come in Korea,
by the present limited war,
when the Chinese Communists
have been so badly hurt by
U. N. forces that they are will
ing to seek. peace. That may
be a long time OF.
FOrmOsa.
MacArthur-The retention of
this Chinese Nationalist island
in friendly hands is essential to
the security of Americas island
defense line in the Pacific.
Truman-Present policy aims
at Cd keeping Formosa out Of
the Korean war If possible or
ca defending it against Red
attack If 1t does become in
volved. Administration policy
so far as publicly declared is
hooked to the fighting in Korea;
it does not provide any perma-
nent solution for Formosa.
Global Strategy.
Macarthur - The United
States can and must protect
on both fronts" meaning Eu-
rope and Asia. Gen. Macarthur
told Congress: "If a potential
enemy can divide his strength
on two fronts, it is for us to
counter his effort"
Truman-Europe is the criti-
cal area of conflict with Soviet
Communism. Though U. N.
forces fighting in Korea are a
notable exception, the military
buildup in Europe generally
takes priority over the buildup
in the Far East.

Sinners in The Wishfui Tow

The Hopwood prize-winning
folk opera, "The Wishful Taw." by
Elizabeth Wilson, was given It's
first of four consecutive perform
ances in the Jefferson Auditorium
last night, presented by the De-
partment of Agriculture Opera

the Department and the Agricul-

IN the dialect of that section, the
production was intersperSed with
folk music and dance. Nine prin-
cipals, a small chorus and youth
full dancers gave a good imper-
sonation of life in these particular
mountains.
With unavoidable delays at
starting on time, for which all
amateur performances are noted
the folk-opera moved along rath-
er cautiously to the meager &C.
commandment supplied by two
pianos. Placed at the two extreme
ends below the stage, they lacked
concentration of tone, solidity
and buoyancy to give confidence
to the singers and prevent tagging

The spirit of Christmas in its
most tender form descended on
the audience in Constitution Hall
last night with the singing of
carols by the Trapp Family Sing
ers. This finished the program
given under the direction of DR..
Franz Wasner and had a drama
tic, nostalgia impact. For the
Trapp Family turned back the
pages of time to re-create a
Christmas Eve in an Austrian
mountain village where the house

the advent of the holy season in
traditional manner. Earlier in the
program, DR.. Wasner asked the
audience to signify it's desire for
encoreS for, at the close, he
wished it to carry away the strains
Of Silent Night"
At the same time, he explained
the absence of Mrs. Trapp, who
was recovering from two serious
operations and was not yet per-
mitted to join her touring family.
The concert had special point
the local debut of 8 Johannes
Trapp. the youngest member of
the family. Born in this country,
Johannes is now about IA years
old. He won a genuine personal
triumph in his performance on
the soprano recorder of the
anonymous 17th century "Partita
ex Vienna" accompanied by DR..
Washer on the virginia., and as
solo singer of the aria "Augelletti"
from Handel's "Rinaldo," to the
accompaniment of soprano rec
order, two alto recorders. viola da
gambia, and virginia., played by
his sisters and brother, Werner
Trapp, and DR.. Washer. AS encore
he sang Bach's Sheep May Safely
Craze" with the original orches-
tration. His soprano voice is re-
markably fine in the higher re-
gister.
The exceptional type of singing
the Trapp Family brought to this
country and continued to develop
has had no rival. 1t has nobility,
artistry and appeal in equal
measure. While the general effect
is that of simplicity, the musical
requirements of the greater partl
of the program call for sound
knowledge and a fine ear. None
of the voices stands out for anl
arresting quality but all are sweet
toned and pure. The delivery of
the sacred numbers was polished
In the extreme yet so smooth that
the complexities of the music were
not evident.
All are skilled performers on the
old instruments, the girls and Jo-
hannes being expert on the re-
corders and Mr.. Trapp thoroughly
proficient on the six-stringed viola
da gambia. DR.. Wasner, besides di-
recting and playing the virginia.. !.
sang the bass parts in all the
numbers. The gamut of tone was
as velvet. and its way was blended
or woven through the music in
gratiatingly. Two numbers sung
in English, one in Italian and one
In Spanish, strange to say, brought
out another quality, something
more vivid and brilliant.
The encores were many after
the intermission. The last half
of the program was sung around a
table where a single. large red
candle burned and with no other
light except that from the Ian
terms each singer carried as the
village ritual began. At one corner
of Constitution Hall stage was a
beautifully trimmed Christmas
tree, decorated by the st. Mary's
Mothers Club of st. Mary's Paro-
chial School in Alexandria, Va,
which sponsored the concert in
cooperation with the Patrick
Hayes Bureau. 1t was a benefit
for the school fund.

Korea War Not In Vain,
Declares DR.. Bunche

DENVER, Col.-The Korean war
is not in vain, declared DR.. Ralph
J. Bunche in speech before the
World Affairs Institute of the Uni
versity of Denver.
Said the Nobel Prize Winner:
"The successful United Nations in
tervention in Korea may well
prove to be the decisive event in
our times. 1t has demonstrated
the immense potentiality of collec-
tive action by peoples whose sights
are true. 1t has provided a most
solemn warning to all would-be ag-
gressors of the future If the les
sons of Korea are learned we'll and
if nations will but take the pre-
ventive actions which these les
sons demand. there can be an end
to aggression in the world and an
era of far greater security for all
peoples
DR.. Bunche, Director OF the
United Nations Department of
Trusteeship, declared that all those
voices that speak of the useless
ness of the Korean action by the
United Nations, spoke falsely. They
avoid the vital truth that Korean
sounded the harsh alarm for the
free world and purchased invalu-
able time in which free people
might mobilize their strength.

The S. c. Case School
Segregation Illegal--NAACP

The South Carolina school seq
regation appeal is based upon
the contention that statutory
classifications based solely upon
race or color violate the federal
Constitution.
The NAACP, citing legal pre-
cedents. asserts that race or
color can not be made the basis
of a statutory classification.
The petition further contends
that there is no reasonable basis
for allocating educational facil-
tiles on the basis of race, and
also denies that segregation laws
can be upheld on the basis that
they are necessary to preserve
public peace and order. More
over the NAACP petition as
serts. the majority of the lower
court erred in refusing to fol-
low the applicable decision of
the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court, the petit
ton says, has always recogn-
lied the Importance of segrega-
ton in public education. Although
the Supreme Court has clar-
flied the issue as to graduate
and professional schools, the
Court has never had the oppor-
tunity to consider the question
as to elementary and high
schools on the basis of a full
and complete record with the is
sue clearly drawn and with COM
petent expert testimony as APP
pears in the record in this case.
