Sees Answer LOCKING
On Korean Conflict

@. (Scripps Howard papers.)
How do we bring the Korean
war to a successful end?
A. OF course, as you know, Z
have not been out in that Sec
tion. I am not familiar with
the local technical situations.
! have talked with Gen. Ridg-
way. I have talked to others
that are knowledgeable about
the thing. We are there. as I
see it. to support a principle.
I do not have any prescription
for bringing the thing to a de-
cisive and, because with the
buildup that is apparently TAX
ing place on the other side of
the Yalu and in that region, I
don't think it would be possible
for our forces to carry through
a decisive attack, which we
would call a tactical or strategic
victory on the ground.
But I do not believe that we
can in the theological war we
are waging, retreat from the
area we occupy, and therefore
believe we have got to stand
firm and take every possible
step We can to reduce our
losses. and stand right, and try
to get a decent armistice out
OF it. In other words, I do not
believe in the present situation
tnere is any clear-cut answer to
the present Korean war.
Q. (Christian Science Moni-
tori In your speech yesterday
you said the loss of China was
a type of tragedy that must not

blame the loss of China?
A. First of all, should saw

manner Of means to indulge in
personalities in anything have
to say. I believe in certain prin-
cipleS, certain procedures and
methods I will discuss with any
body at any time. am not
going to discuss personalities.
! do not know who is to blame
for the loss of China. I do know
that the diplomatic triumphs of
that period were claimed by the
party in power. The party in
power. therefore, has to take
some responsibility for any
losses we have suffered, but I
could not name a person, I could
not name any individuals. in
volved in the whole business, but
I do say this, when we see 400
million people fall under the
domination Of this Communist
dictatorship. 400 million people
that can be used by the Kremlin

own substance in the form of
their own men. on declaring

say an international. disaster of

Mr.. Wheeler said the new bal

Here is the partial tert of
Gen. Eisenhower's press con-
ference:
Gen. Eisenhower: Ladies and
gentlemen II do hope that
technical arrangement for this
conference is fairly satisfactory
to everybody but, in any event,
I must say that as 1t turned out,
they astoniSh me because ! was
informed they were something
else, but at least I have had
nothing to do with it. / have
tried to conform to your wishes
on this particular occasion.
apparently the general was
referring to the confusion
over whether the press con-
ference would be televised
direct from the theater.)
To start right off, I have
noticed several things in the
papers, forms of questions or
speculationS, seems to me I
could answer instantly and
therefore eliminate those from
the area of further speculation.
I have been asked specifically
what is my voting record and
why should I have ever stated
I was a Republican. AS you
know, I have been in the uni
formed service for a long. long
time and there has been little.
if any, voting record to speak
about until after in February,
1948: I left active duty and
felt that I had a right to par
ticipate as other citizens do in
the political activity. Now, at
that moment, I did not register
as a Republican because I held
the belief and the hope that /
could remain somewhat aloof
from partisan politics because,
as you know. I was not fully
separated from the Army in the
form Of retirement or resigna-
ton. But in 1948, I voted the
Republican ticket and there
were two special elections in
New York, one in 40 and then
for Governor in so. and I voted
the Republican ticket and that
is my entire voting record and
to add to the other question
another question that has arisen
in connection with it, I have
never voted any Democratic
ticket. (Applause.)

ternate between the two political
parties in the control Of our

an effective efficient two-party

suming that each of the two
parties in the worthiness Of its
citizens, deserve recognition, but
there is no effective two-party
system unless there is a pos
sibility of alienation. That,

thumbnail sketch and I quite

tors have given you questions

tired of my own voice. So I

CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE CRITICISM

One Of the most dangerous threats to the stability OF
any democratic is the threat Of undermined
confidence in that governments leaders At this time
many American voters seriously wondering whether
they can maintain the high confidence in government Of
cias which has been custom in the United States for
many decades
Corruption scandal and this election year tend to
make for an explosive situation and lead candidates
and other critical speakers to denounce every act Of
government most severely. This is freedom which
cherish in America and which the average voter has
usually been able to take defect in proportion which
allows him to keep his balance.
An issue which has not been major problem OF the
American political has emerged in recent years and
Is the issue Of On the hand
certain groups that the system Of accusing all
mics Of being Communists is be-
ing used with telling effect the political today
On the other hand those doing of the accusing say
that the Administration is rotten and nftrated with
Communists or fellow-travelers.
The American voter, in the end, will have to decide
whether there is too much too
much of the pink in this Administration if either
both and determine the real danger. Until the cleo
tons this fall it is of course difficult to appeal
to the better judgment of people, who in
teresed in destroying regulations and running the polite
ri prospects of opponents than they anything else
This applies to some individuals in each party.
The main point IL that two issues face the American
voter One Is the issue of which
Hitler used to to power in Germany Che blamed all
unpopular acts the Communists and accused all his
enemies of being Communists and the other the ques
ton Of the Communist threat in government and gov
ernng circles The best solution course would be the
elimination Of both of these issues and there is some
chance that the voters of this country might accomplish
just that In the November elections.

He alone must make the fateful

In this military field, Chairman

"The United States is at least

He emphasized that the program
presented by military officials was
concerned primarily with studying
means Of protecting American

Germ warfare is part Of the

item was left untouched when the
House Appropriations Committee
hacked 81, 100, 00O. 900 from the to-
tai military request for So billions

Testimony released by Skies
subcommittee showed that military
authorities asked for increased
funds to continue their study
of meteorological warfare. The
amount was not revealed, but, it
was included with requests for
atomic and chemical warfare funds
under 40 million dollar total.
Maj. Gen. E. T. Bullene. chief
of the Chemical Corps testified
that the Army considers bacteria
warfare very urgent. He said
1--WE have been doing research for
10 years and we think it is time
to catch up with some hardware. /"
Skies said the general meant the
establishment and equipping of
new laboratories to continue es-
tablished research.
No important or large scale
manufacturing or production is
contemplated under the program,
Skies said.
Actually, he said, retaliatory

The means of delivering germs to
enemy territory, he said, are SIM

type with whichAthe services now

as the containers used currently

But what We are doing is pure

principal idea is to protect your
self against the mass use of germ
attack, which is something new.
Defensive measures have to be
perfected, he said. to protect areas
as large as several states against
meteorological agents. capable
of attacking humans, livestock and
crops.
I'VE know more about protecting
