Koreu War Will Find
Latest Commander Is
No Stranger to Bottle

Gen. Mark Wayne Clark, newly
appointed commander of Allied
forces in Korea, is no stranger to
the kind of battles he must fight
there-either in the mountains or
at the conference table.
The towering, hook-nosed SOL
dier, one of the most controversial
figures in World War II, has a
brilliant record as a fighting gen.
eral and as a smooth diplomat.
In shaping that record, he gath
cred many medals and made many
enemies. His friends say he is a
man who doesn't have to go out
looking for a fight. >.,.
Center of Dispute.
Last fall Gen. Clark found him
self in the center of a bitter dis
pute that arose after President
Truman nominated him as the
first United States Ambassador to
the Vatican. Congress recessed
without acting on the nomination
and President Truman later with
drew it.
His appointment is certain to
stir up old rancors on Capitol Hill
that first broke out when his
nomination for promotion to the
permanent rank of major general
was under consideration in 1916.
Veterans of the 36th Division,
composed largely of Texas Ma
tional Guardsmen, protested. They
claimed the general had needless
ly wasted lives" in two futile
attempts to cross the Rapido River
in Italy against entrenched Ger
man positions in 1914. He COM
manded the 5th Army in Italy.
The attacks were defended as
part OF broad military strategy
deemed necessary to pin down
crack German divisions at the
Rapido while Allied forces fought
ashore at the Anzio beachhead.
The promotion was finally ap-
proved.
Diplomacy Tested by Russians.
Gen. Clark proved his skill as a
diplomat when he slipped ashore
from a submarine and negotiated
with pro-Allied French officers
three weeks before the Allied in
vaSion of North Africa.
A short time later he was in
volved in the controversy that
arose over the selection of Jean
Darlan as French high commits
sioner for North Africa.
Gen. Clark's diplomatic mettle
was tested by the Russians when
he was commander of the United

Ridgwoy Turns to Diplomacy
While Clark Goes Back to War
New Chief of Allied
Forces in Europe Hos
Won Fame as Fighter

Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway,
named yesterday as Allied COM
mander in Europe, is known as a
frontline general with what one
of his citations termed an "un-
canny ability" for appearing where
he was most needed to inspire his
troops.
While best known as a grenade
toting tough soldier with little
liking for a desk job, he has
demonstrated also the abilities of
a smooth diplomat as supreme
Allied commander in Tokyo. He
supervised the touchy transition
of the japanese from the status
of conquered people to that of
''hosts" to the forces he leads
there. He has combined firmness
with patience in the Korean truce
talks. AS u. N. commander he
gained the experience in dealing
with many nations he will need
in Europe.
In World War II, he led the
82d Airborne Division through
the Italian campaign. He jumped
with his paratroopers on D-day
i'm Normandy and spearheaded the
parachute-landing assault of his
division on the Cotentin PENN
sula.
In the Korean campaign, he
was called to succeed Gen. Walton
H. Walker. who had been killed
i'm a jeep accident. He took
over the 9Th Army in Korea at
Christmastime, 1850. At that
time, United Nations forces were
retreating steadily before hordes
of Chinese Communists.
Aroused New Confidence.
He whipped new confidence into
what was a defeated army. In a
little over three months, he had
steadied United Nations forces
and began to push the Reds back
over the 38th parallel.
When President Truman de-
posed Gen. Douglas Macarthur
in April, 1851, the then 1t. Gen.
Ridgway moved from Korea to
Tokyo to become supreme COM
mander for the Allied powers in
Japan.
simultaneously, he became
United States commander in chief
for the Far East, United Nations
commander n-chief in Korea and
commanding general of the United
States Army in the Far East.
Better known for his fighting
ability than his diplomacy. Gen.
Ridgway puts a practical dash of
showmanship into his command
ability. During the fighting in
Europe, he carried a service rifle
strapped to his jeep and used it.
Holds 80 Decorations.
During the prolonged, Korean
