Senators at Odds on Report
Final Summation Of Hearings on Macarthur issue
Can Achieve No Agreement Supported by Big Majority

Among Senators of the For
eign Relations and Armed Serv-
Ices committees who have been
conducting the Macarthur
hearings, the opinion is firm
that no final report supported
by the overwhelming majority
among them is possible.
What influential Democrats
are frankly aiming for is a re-
port that gives sufficient ground
to criticism of past policy to
attract most Democrats and a
few Republicans. AdminiStra-
tion supporters are prepared to
yield enough so that their as
tute chairman. Senator Rus
sell, can shape such a docu-
ment.
It appears from the questions
directed at the witnesses that
his principal hurdle among the
Democrats will be his own SEN
! ior colleague, Senator George.
Senator Byrd often appeared off
the reservation also but he is a
close friend of Secretary of De-
fense Marshall and the more
florid personality of General
Macarthur is known to leave
him cold.
Democrats are counting on
the fact that enough difference
exists between Republicans so
that they cannot present a solid
front either. Here presidential
politics enters the picture.
1t is unlikely, for example,
that Senator's Lodge and Sal
Evening star., 1951-06-18

Chairman Russell that he ought
to hire q counsel Of national
stature who would be above
political reproach. That is q
good trick If you can do it in
these times. In addition Re-
publicans indicated that If the
joint committee hired counsel
they would ask for their own.
This practice has not had
happy results in committees
which have tried it. What hap
pens is that counsel, in the
manner of lawyers representing
the interests of their clients,
tend to argue the interests Of
the party whose members hired
them. The result is that any
chance of arriving at verdicts In
the public interest are marred
if not lost.
Senator Russell decided to
forego the luxury OF a prime
legal intellect to collate and
dissect the case, valuable as it
would be to him. He did get
some personal help from a
Georgia friend; if that friend
is still on hand, he was invisible
to the committee and has never
publicly asked question.
Meanwhile Democrats are
very happy over the fact that
General Macarthur is pitching
his Truman battle on political
grounds now. There they have
superior confidence in their
fighter.

attack" and also declared that
the lack of confidence Ameri-
cans show in themselves" would
be the greatest "incitation to
attack"
Here in Washington, mean
while. Gen. Wedemeyer was for
withdrawing from Korea on one
hand and, on the other, break
ing off relations with Russia
and drawing some sort of line
all around the world which they
would cross at their peril, mean
ing war. That raises almost
involuntarily the spectacle of
two boys standing glaring at
each other across a line that
one has drawn with dare to
the other to spit across it, or
step across it.
In this struggle in which we
are engaged, lines are not fig
ureatively marks drawn here
and. there on a map. but are.
intangible things in the hearts
and souls of men and women,
and our purpose is to draw our
lines there. in front of iron
curtains and behind them also
if possible.
The Wedemeyer concept of
pulling out Of Korea misses the
entire meaning of Korea. That,
indeed, would be surrender and
surrender of the only principle
for which we and So other ma
tions took our stand in Korea
and are fighting in Korea. That
is to protect the integrity of
the United Nations and the
collective security it represents
In keeping with the commit
mentS we made in the u. N.
charter. To withdraw from
Korea would be to renege on
our pledge in support of the
only law and order in the world
that can mean anything, il we,
are to save ourselves.

French Vote Is Significant
Domestic Issues Such Tax Cuts and Wage Increases
Are Stressed Reds Play Upon Fear of Disastrous War
Constantine Brown:

The results of the French
elections yesterday are being
followed possibly with greater
interest by the American gov
ernment than by the French
themselves.
The chief concern of the
French people is reduction of
taxes, subsidies for farmers,
reduction of the cost of living
and increases in wages and sal
aries.
The contestants for the 627
seats in the National Assembly
felt bound to emphasize
in the campaign these matters
OF deep concern to the men and
women who vote, rather than
the more dramatic-though, to
the French, less obvious-prob-
lens Of utmost sacrifice in rid
ing out the hurricane which
threatens from the East.
The Communist candidates
and their associates have been
playing up the menace of
Frances continued cooperation
with the United States, which
they described as a sure way to
get involved in another hope
less war. The fact that in Italy,
where we have spent over So
billion in the last three years
to improve the country's econ
omy. the Communists have
gained in popular vote, though
they have lost control of hun
dreds of cities and towns, is
giving serious food for thought
to independent American OBJ
servers and to military men who
are planning for defense under
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization.
More than a third of the votes
cast in the Italian election two
weeks ago went to the Com
muniSts and affiliated parties.
And the strongly religious Italian
people did not give their votes
to the parties headed by Palmiro
Togliatti and Pietro Nenni be-
cause they indorsed the Stalinist
doctrine. They voted Commu-
mist because they believed that
in this manner they might avoid
becoming involved in a war be-
tween America and Russia.

firmly internationalist with re-
spect to Europe; he would not
wish to embarrass another pres
idential possibility, his friend.
Gov. Warren, who is never an
extremist.
Senator Taft's pipeline into
the inquiry is Senator Brewster
of Maine. He will be thinking
of Senator Taft's candidacy.
Thus a whole bouquet of re-
ports is possible. For his own
part, Senator Russell will do all
he can to avoid that. Because
he is so highly regarded by all
his colleagues and because
Democrats sense the political
advantage of a report that can
be labeled a Russell report. he
will get genuine cooperation.
Republicans must tussle with
the fact that foreign policy diff
ferences between them are deep
and genuine and that they lack
a Senator Vandenberg to help
them cloak the situation.
Another interesting aspect of
the report situation is that the
Senators lack counsel to help
with the difficult job of syn
thesizing and analyzing the
testimony.

France. have been distributing
millions of pamphlets and plas-
tering the walls of French cities
and villages with posters ad-
monishing the people of France
that a vote for the Socialists
or the De GaulliSts is a vote for
the destruction OF France by air
commandment, and will cause
the soil of France to be
trampled by the boots of fight
ing armies. Such a vote they
say, will result in calling
Frances manhood to the colors
to fight another devastating
war which "can end only in
utter defeat and annihilation."
OF all the non-Communist
Party leaders Gen. Charles de
Gaulle alone had the courage to
make an outright plea for a
militarily strong France, ready
to fight the Communist menace.
This has caused suspicion
about him and propaganda
from both the Communists and
the moderates-that he wants
to be Frances man on horse
back" Gen. de Gaulle does not
have the makings of a dictator.
But his attitude has been such
that he was unable to join with
the moderate parties in placing
the names of some of his sup
porters on the coalition lists un-
der the complicated system of
balloting recently established.
1t seems probable that the
Communists themselves who
apparently have lost substantial
ground in the elections, will be
pleased to see that De Gaulle's
party has emerged as a strong
new torce-a force that may
make the life of any govern
ment created by the moderate
parties as precarious as those
in the past.

Jingoism by Macarthur Clique
Their BeIoose Policy Soid to Connote the Spirit Of Bully
But It Is Donqerous and Seems to Be Eolinq Flot

Both Gen. Macarthur and
Gen. Wedemeyer are "go it
alone" advocates if our allies
won't follow us into new adven-
lures that would court a third
world war. That course would
put us in the position of taking
on the whole world. in effect,
for the loss of allies would
mean they would become mega
tive. rather than positive, in
fluenceS.
That is a swashbuckling at
titude, devoid of sense, which
the taunts of fear" only mag
nifty and make dangerous. That
Is not our role In the world,
and never has been. We are
not out, with chips on our
shoulders, looking for q war.
Our aim is collective security
to restrain aggressors and pro-
tect ourselves and keep peace.
Into the two wars in this
century we have gone reluc-
family. perhaps belatedly. But,
once our people were convinced
that the decent and honorable
way of life was at stake, they
entered fundamentally, made
all the necessary sacrifices, and
stayed the course without fear
Of the outcome. Nor are our
people afraid now.
The gospel of "jingoism",
seems to be falling fiat. Gen.
Macarthur is clinging to the
front pages rather precariously.
Senator Mccarthy slipped of

loved and esteemed soldier and

Dovid Lowrence:

It's not an encouraging pic
ture that Louis Johnson, former
Secretary of Defense, painted as
he portrayed the inner workings
Of the United States Govern
ment Aat a critical time in his
tory.
It's a picture of confusion, of
friction, of overreaching on
major functions, of serious con-
flict between the Defense De-
partment and the State Depart
ment, and of neglect of duty in
our relations with foreign gov
ernments.
One could almost forget that
the original purpose Of the
present hearings of the joint
Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations and Armed Services
was to investigate the circum-
stances surrounding the dis
missal of Gen. Macarthur. For
that particular incident fades
into insignificance alongside the
weaknesses in our defense setup
which now have been revealed
to public view.
For the testimony Of the for
mer Secretary Of Defense tells
lis that the United States Gov
ernment had no war plan inso-
far as Korea was concerned
when war broke out there on
June IS. 1850, and that no
study had been given to the
possibilities of an attack in
that area.
This disclosure is sensational
in many respects. It shows
that the public which had come
to believe that it could entrust
the safety of the United States
to the hands of the National
Security Council or the Joint
Chiefs of Staff has been trust
ing in the master planning Of
our top command when no such
detailed planning has existed.
Although the President and
the Secretary Of State and other
high officials concurred in the
steps that were taken to come
to the aid of South Korea a
year ago. the American Gov
ernment was caught by surprise
and had to improvise from that
time on. The unreadineSs of
our military establishment is
shrouded even now in the
secrecy Of suppression, for it
would be politically damaging
to the Administration to allow
all the truth to be revealed.
Our Army in Japan in June,
1850. was an occupation force.
1t was not an expeditionary
force. 1t lacked weapons and

abroad for a long while were
not ordered to urge foreign gov
ernmentS to send reinforce
ments and that the Defense
Department did most of the
urging.
This is a strange commentary
on the kind of management Of
international affairs which the
American people have today.
There seems to have been at
the State Department an in
difference to the plight of the
American troops which Is shock
ing. Again and again the Joint
Chiefs themselves seemed to be
helpless about getting more
manpower to the Far East.
The conclusion is inescapable
that our top military command
ers today are muzzled. They do
not dare to differ with the
civilian side of military ques-
tions for fear Of being removed
or denoted. The process of in
timidation which began with
the removal of Admiral Denfeld
and which was repeated in spec
tacular fashion by the dis
miSsal Of Gen. Macarthur has
resulted in a basic weakness in
the command setup which is not
going to be cured just by spend
ing more billions.
Mr.. johnson was asked about
the "shoestring" air force which
the $50 billion spent under his
regime had given America-and
he thought that Gen. Vanden-
berg was saying all this just to
get more money appropriated.
This certainly raises an inter-
esting question about the diff
culties of getting facts nova
days.
Mr.. Johnson also said he
didn't think 1t was wise for the
State Department to issue its
its White Paper" attacking the
Chinese Nationalist government
which America was recognizing.
He confirmed the impression
that the State Department was
constantly belittling and weak
ening the very government it
was supposed to be supporting.
Maybe all the details Of the
confusion as between the De-
fense and State Departments
will come out some day, but the
simple fact remains that all the
investigating that has been done
or may yet be done will only
prove lack of leadership at
the very top-a blow-hot and
blow-cold attitude toward the
Communists in China. and a
counsel of fear when there
should have been firmness.

somewhat discouraged at the
prospects of translating the
present paper armies of NATO
into actual force.
Gen. Eisenhower is reported
to be even more concerned over
the general outlook. Like Gen.
Bradley, he hopes that the elec-
tion will result in the organiza-
ton of strong government
which can proceed unhampered
to the organization of the divi-
sions pledged by France last
year. But he fears that this
may be only wishful thinking.
So far all his strong represen-
tationS to the French govern
ment to do something" have
been answered with wait un-

Thonos l.. Stokes:

"Jingoism" is the effect,
whether designed or not. Of the
new line taken by the Gen.
Macarthur clique.
A lingo" is defined as lone
who favorS or supports a belli-
cose policy in foreign affairs"
"Jingoism" has come to have
the added connotation of the
spirit of the bully or bragga-
docio who carries a chip around
on his shoulder and talks big
and threateningly to other
nations.
1t is a dangerous attitude. It
is not like us.
It comes out in the insinua-.
ton that somebody or other is
trying to create fear of Russia
in us by frank statements of
the limits of what our military
forces can do. such as those our
Joint Chiefs of Staff made, and
were required to make in reply
to questions from the Senate
investigators. This is no defense
of the technique of the Senate
Committee, but in derogation of
the exploitation of its results.
The new jingoism carries also
the insidious implication that
our people, themselves, are
afraid. 1t has the effect in that
way of a dare, a primitive ap-
peal. such as many callow and
unseasoned youngster has lisen
to in his neighborhood under
taunts of his companions only
to learn later it was neither
sound sense nor courage. But it
is a good way to provoke a fight.
