British Papers Defend
Macarthur Against
'Hounding' by Critics
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 28.-Two lead
ing Conservative British news
papers today defended Gen. Mac
Arthur against criticism of his
conduct of the Korean campaign.
The Daily Express said Gen.
Macarthur was being vilifed be
cause the Communists want him
vilified."
The Daily Mail, critical of Brit
aims own government leaders, said
1.-THE political direction of the Ko-
rean war has been and still is
deplorable."
The Daily Express, with a cir
culation of more than million
said in its lead editorial that lit
is time the bounding of MacAr-
thur was brought to an end. 1t
Is time he was given the credit
and authority due to him.
His Orders Conflicting.
The Daily Mail said I'VE make
no excuse for verbal indiscretions
of the commander (MacArthur)
But he has been badly supported
in Korea"
"In the face of conflicting Or
derS he gets from all points OF
the compass, what is he to do?"
the newspaper asked.
The Express said the real quar-
rel between Gen. Macarthur and
his critics sis over a simple issue
they propose he should halt at
the 38th Parallel. He points out
that as a military proposition that
is not sensible.
1.-The 38th Parallel is an arbi-
trary line drawn on the map. 1t
corresponds in no way with real
tiles of military geography or
military necessity"
Gives Enemy Advantage.
The Express editorial contin-
ued:
"A halt on the Parallel would
simply mean giving gratuitous ad-
vantage to the enemy which might
be paid for with Allied lives. And
that, in practice, would mean
American lives. When MacAr-
thur objects to it he is declaring
the good sense of the military sit
uation.
IF that is so. why is Mac
Arthur vilified? Because the Com
munists want him vilified. They
are leading all sorts of people
into their campaign. Some of the
dupes are just plain foolish.
Others are stooge propagandists

assistance similar to that going to

Senator McC Corthy Proposes Use
OfNotionoIist Troops in Korea

Several other Republicans. in
Guiding Senators Bricker of Ohio,
Gordon of Oregon. Flanders of
Vermont and Cain of Washington
are considering a move to put
the force of law behind the two
resolutions.
Senator Connally. Democrat, of
Texas, chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee, believes the
administration can beat such a
move, but some observers think
the vote would be close.
1t will not be a simple matter
to change the two advisory reso-
lutions into a bill, or into "joint
resolution" which would have the
force of law. Parliamentary ex-
perts have held that it cannot be
done by simple motion to change
the title.
1t could be done. however, in
one of several ways. namely:
l. BY introducing a new Joint
resolution, and having it reported
from the two committees which
considered the original resolu-
tons.
2. BY asking the Senate to take
up some unrelated bill or resolu-
ton which already has passed the
House and tying the troop resolu-
ton to it.
3. BY asking the Senate to re-
verse the parliamentarian's ruling

Stand Off Allied Attack.
Northeast of Seoul, a Chinese
regiment stubbornly stood off an
Allied attack with a wall of mortar

reported Red forces ranging up to
battalion size all along 38 in this
area. They seemed determined to
hold jagged line overlooking q

Enemy fire halted the Doughboys
north of the town.
Puerto Rican troops smashed a
Red ammunition dump northeast
of Uijongbu.
Red mortar and artillery shells
landed in some Allied sectors.
The South Korean drive across
38 apparently was more i'm
portant politically than militar-
lily. In Washington, Secretary of
Defense Marshall said Gen. Mac
Arthur had been instructed to
cross when necessary to protect
his forces. The South Koreans
may have acted on their own
initiative.
Strategically, the east coast
sector has little significance. 1t
is lightly defended, probably only
by North Korean troops. High
mountains run up almost to the
coaStline. No big push could be
made in this area by either side.
In addition to Yangyang, the
ROKs captured Kapyong, Chong-
gok, Younpo and the border vii
lage of Sorin.

to stop Allied bombers. B-29s hit

The troops-for- Europe debate
took a new turn today when SEN
ator Mccarthy. Republican, of
Wisconsin, proposed to include a
plea that Gen. Macarthur be
authorized to use Chinese Ma
tionalist forces in Korea.
The Wisconsin Senator also
drafted an amendment to put
the Senate on record in favor
of bringing Western Germany
Spain, Turkey and Greece into
plans for the defense of Western
Europe.
Meanwhile, Senator Ferguson
Republican, of Michigan, took
floor to add his voice to a growing
Republican demand that the two
pending resolutions on troops-for- :
Europe be replaced by one that
would have the force of law.
Chairman Taft of the Republi-
can Policy Committee had an
nounced earlier he would support
such move.
The Senate has agreed not to
start voting until Monday.
Senator Ferguson announced
that he cannot support the two
pending resolutions because they
are only petitions to the President
with no legal effect.

guson, "and correspondingly to

The Michigan Senator said he
would vote to send the two pend
ing resolutions back to committee
with instructions to substitute a
resolution that would have the
force of law. if passed by both
Houses and signed by the Presi-
dent.
Senator Mccarthy, who is in
Phoenix, Ariz.. recovering from a
sinus operation. made known his
proposals in a letter to each of
his colleagues. He asked for their
suggestions on how best to bring
the military strength of Spain,
Greece, Turkey and Western Ger

In the hearings, most officials
agreed on the desirability of OBJ
tanning the cooperation of these
other countries when it can be
worked out.
His effort to inject policy af-
Ifecting the Korean war will be
more controversial. His proposed
amendment would put the Senate
on record as urging that Gen.
Macarthur "be given complete
freedom" to utilize the Nationalist
troops of Chang Kai-shek on For
mosa, or the Nationalist guerril-
las on the mainland. 1t also would
urge speedy completion of a peace

This and That

This is the centennial year Of ''Moby
Dick" Herman Melville's story of the
white whale.
Today he and his monumental book
are honored the world around, whereas
he was neglected by his own generation,
and for years thereafter.
What does 1t all add up to, except
that writer must write the way he
thinks and feels and lives?
Melville wrote that he wanted to write
in the way he wanted to write. He made
one chapter three lines long In "Moby
Dick" One can hear some printer or
other, there in the long ago, arguing
with him to change it, to make the
chapters more even," etc.
He didn't listen. He went right ahead.
pouring a wealth of experience and in
vestigation into this astounding book,
a compound of lectures about whales
and narrative about whales.
It was all whales.
There were whales here, there and
everywhere, in Melville's life, and SO he
wrote about whales.
How can any one do better?
His life and his books stand as q les
son to all ambitious young persons.
If you want to write best, write ex-
actly what you think.
Put it down the way you, not some
one else. wants to write 1t down.

except to earn q living.

Melville belonged to an age Of giants.
"Moby Dick" now rides high on the
wings of critical favor, but it was not
always so. Even today his other stories,
including '"Typee," "Omoo" and "Mardi,"
are more written about than read.
What good shall it do man to write
and be unpopular in his own day, and
then to come into popularity so years
or IS years or hundred years later?
Henry James, the old magician, met
the same fate. Melville was not unique

not destroy everything.
We can only say that it will be good,

worried too much about critics, or read
ers even, but shall have held deter
minedly to the best that was in him,
shall have seen what he has seen in
his own way, with his own eyes and
mind and heart.

you like, for in the end you and your
immortal reputation will come of best.
One may doubt whether there is a
publisher today who would put out such
work as "Moby Dick" Oh, now they
would publish 1t, all right! But some
new work, quite as different, in its way,
from the usual?
It is much to the credit of the older
publishers -Harper's in this case-that
they did put into print such books. They
took their chance then, as publishers
must do today, and now and then they
"hit" it-a hundred years later.
The integrity of the writer is pre-,
cious thing.
Too often it is thing trampled upon,
for hundred different reasons, so of
which may seem good to others. but
probably not one reason will be ac-
cepted without protest by the writer

papers to encompass the saga of Capt.
Ahab and the white whale, which he
pursued around the seven seas, until

him.

Nobel Prizes

The Nobel prizes Tor science This year nave
been awarded to men who have earned them by
their work In the atomic field. DR.. Glenn I.
Seaborg and Dr. Edward M. Mcmillan OF the
University of California at Berkeley are co-dis-
coverers of plutonium, and Sir John Cockcroft,
director of the British experimental plant at
Harwel, and Prof E. T. s. Walton Of Trinity
College in Dublin have been associated in split
ting atomic nuclei their enterprise, dating back
to 1892, having paved the way for current de-
velopments in atomic affairs.
An obvious trend thus is recognized once
more by the Swedish Academy of Science. The
award to Marie Curie in 1911 was forecast OF
sort for what has happened since. Subsequent
grants to Alfred Werner Albert Einstein, Francis
w. Aston, Niels Bohr, James Franck, Gustav
Hertz Arthur H. Compton, Harold c. Urey James
Chadwick, Victor F. Hess, Carl D. Anderson,
Clinton j. Davisson, George p. Thomson, Enrico
Fermi, Ernest Orlando Lawrence, Otto Stern,
George Hevesy De Heves, Isador Isaac Rabi, Otto
Hahn, Wolfgang PAUL., william Francis Giauque
and Cecil F. Powell related either directly or
indirectly to the splitting of that element OF
nature which hitherto had been supposed to be
indivisible. In effect they followed where Alfred
Bernhard Nobel himself had led. He invented
dynamite, and they have collaborated to perfect
an infinitely greater force. If the power released
by their endeavors is blessing to mankind, they
will deserve remembrance as benefactors.
But Nobel left his fortune to serve less
problematical purposes as well as those which
are starkly practical. The prizes given IN his
name for literature and for peace have gone
almost invariably to idealists-as the testator
specified they should. Among the peacemakers
favored have been Henri Dunant founder OF the
international Red Cross movement; Bertha Won
Suttner, Theodore Roosevelt, Elihu Root, Henri
La Fontaine woodrow Wilson, Frank B. Kellogg,
Jane Addams, Nicholas Murray Butler. Lord Cecil
of Chelwood, Cordell Hull, Emily Greene Balch,
John R. Mott and Ralph J. Bunche Authors
rewarded have included: Rudyard Kipling, Selma
Lagerlof Maurice Maeterlinck, Rabindranath
Tagore Roman ROLAND, Anatole France, Knut
Hamsun William Butler Yeats, John Galsworthy,
Eugene O'Neill Andre Glide and T. S. Eliot
To the last of these rosters Of merited dis
tinction now is added the name of DR.. Par Fabien
Lagerkvist, Swedish writer. born in 1901 and
educated at Upsala. His Eternal Smile" ap-
peared in 1920 and was followed by Guest Of
Reality" in 1925, "The Man. Who Had His Life
Again" in 1923, "The Man Without a Soul" In
1885 and "The Dwarf in 1914 @Barabbas" is
his latest production to win acclaim. mystic
in his philosophy he uses his talent to assert
the dynamic of the spirit against that OF brute
force. Thus perhaps to an extent unsurpassed
by any earlier recipient of the prize for literature
he meets Nobels requirement that "an idealist
tendency is to be achieved in the books Of the
authors honored.

'Evoluoting' Dr.. Corning

Three years ago the Board of Education
received from its personnel committee report
evaluating the services of the Superintendent
OF Schools, Hobart M. Corning, during his first
three-year term. The report was discussed and
signed by all members of the board and then
discussed with Dr. Corning. He was reappointed
The same procedure is under way now But
there Is marked difference in approach. The
chairman OF the personnel committee is the
vice president, Adelbert w. Lee. He is an out
spoken critic of DR.. Corning. He has made no
bones about his hostility toward the superin-
tendent, which is frequently evidenced. In
common decency, he ought to have disqualified
himself from what should be strictly objective
undertaking. In the absence of the sensibilities
which would lead to such action, however, he
should never have been given the assignment
The mere fact that he is in charge of an evalu-
alton report on DR.. Corning's services injects
the taint of prejudice at the start
One of the steps in preparation of this report
is the distribution, by the personnel committee
of a QUESTIONABLE among school officials, ex-
tending down to school principals. The ques-
tionnaire is designed to obtain rating of the
Superintendent of Schools based on opinions
anonymously expressed by his subordinates
This is covert and despcable method Of
inviting irresponsible criticism Of a superior
officer. In self-respect, the school officials to
whom the QUESTIONABLE is sent should repudiste
1t by refusing to answer It,
For If this is the system on personnel ratings
to be adopted by our leaderless Board of Educa-
tion, 1t should be universally applied. school
principals capabilities should be judged on the
basis of anonymous questionnaires circulated
among the teachers; the teachers fitness should
be judged by anonymous questionnaires circu-
lated among the pupils.
