Tuesday and Our Men in Korea

The hoopla OF the presidential campaign
has stirred up little perceptible excitement
among American fighting men in Korea. Ac-
cording to the Associated Press, most of them,
although they have been placing bets on the
outcome, seem to have only lukewarm interest
in next Tuesdays election. The battle OF bullets
not ballots, is what holds their attention above
everything elsa battle whose savagery has
been steadily increasing for the past three weeks
In a grim and bloody Seesaw of attack and
counterattack among bleak hills that mean far
more to them, in terms of flesh and spirit and
life and death, than the political hurly- -burly
now reaching climax in their faraway home
land.
How could 1t be otherwise? Here are troops
(some OF them not yet old enough to vote) whose
casualties have recently been mounting to the
highest weekly totals that have been added up
since well over a year ago. They face a deter
mined Communist enemy who seems deliberately
intent upon blasting away the possibility of an
early armistice. More than that as they fight
and die at places like Triangle Hill, they see
signs all around them suggesting that they may
have to cope with another major Red offensive,
another full-Scale battle another bone -wearying
ordeal, another trial by fire. another bitter kill
or-be-k killed test of their will and courage-the
kind OF test they have passed so superbly time
and again since the start of the war.
In such circumstances, with such prospect
to be reckoned with, it is not surprising that
these men-whose morale is of the highest order
seem relatively Indifferent to the Eisenhower
Stevenson race. Unlike their fellow Americans
here in the United States, they have been unable
to sit back in the comfort and safety of their
homes watching the candidates on television, lis
tening to political speeches or debating abstract
issues as If there were nothing else to worry
about Their job has been, and still is, much
too pressing. much too dangerous, much too
important to allow them that sort of luxury
Their job has been and still is to risk their lives
In struggle whose basic objective is to defeat
totalitarian conspiracy seeking to win mastery
OF the world through one-by-one conquest of
the free nations, including ultimately-and
ch1efly-our own land, the greatest prize of all.
Thus, in terms of the purpose of their sacri-
flee, our men in Korea are over there to pre-
serve for America just such fundamental and
indispensable bulwarks of freedom as next Tues
days election. They themselves, as they con-
tinue with their hard task, may be rather un-
interested in that election, but it is nonetheless
one OF the extremely important institutions that
their struggle is meant to perpetuate. In short,
even though they are likely to give little or no
thought to the subject in the heat and danger
OF battle, they are fighting to insure the long
range future of liberty for our own and succeed
ing generations. All of us here at home, whether
Republican or Democratic, certainly owe them a
unanimous vote of gratitude.

Campaign Spending

Campaign Spending
After reading Tom Stokes heart
rending account Of the financial plight
of the Democratic bumblebee, I am
moved beyond tears.
Mr.. Stokes complains that Gen. Eisen-
hover and the Republicans "have the
campaign money in huge wads, and in
sums that would surely be staggering If
they could oe toted up." The Democrats,
on the other hand, he claims, "are woe
fully short of Campaign funds" He goes
on to cite press opposition, cost Of radio
TV shows. etc.
Doubtless both parties are having to
scrape for contributions, but there is no
evidence that the Democrats are having
any the worse Of it-at least with re-
Spect to nationwide radio-TV. Mr..
Stokes trifles with the facts.
Traditionally the Democrats always
have spent more on campaigns-beyond
the So million national committee maxi
mun-because Of the various union and
other organizations upon which they
are able to draw as a source-and I use
the word draw" looSely-in recent years.
AS for network radio and television, I
can assure Mr.. Stokes that since the
campaign started the Democrats have
spent nearly twice as much as the G. O. p.
at going rate. through their national
committee. Volunteers for Stevenson and
Stevenson-Sparkman, Clubs.
The Democrats have put up o great
cry over purported q. o. P. So million
spot 'blitz," while glibly buying up all
major radio-TV networks for one half
hour on election eve. Their complaint
has been lack Of funds.

If. on the other hand. you believe in the
capitalistic system. reputed to be the
enemy of Communism by none other
than Josef Stain himself: If you concur
with the Constitution, "those powers not
specifically delegated to the Federal
Government will be reserved to the
States; If you are determined to have
government that will take decisive
steps toward peace; then, you will vote

But there are other reasons. They
have heard about Ike ever since they
were born. They associate him with
the qualities they admire most in their
parents. teachers and playmates-manli-
ness and courage. firmness and justice.
They like his appearance and bearing.
He Is. in all truth, their modern hero
just as George Washington and Abe Lin
coin are heros from history books
The young people seem to know by
instinct that the world would be pretty
shoddy place without the qualities of
self-sacriflce, honor. devotion to the
right, and leadership they see and un-
derstand in Ike.
The older boys and girls of America
think of Ike as leader who will help
to bring peace and make America strong
so they won't have to be drafted into
the flames of war; so they can finish
their schooling and satisfy their yearning
to make careers of their own.
Maybe more votes will be determined
in the last few moments inside the poll
ing booth. when the mothers and fathers
of America stand alone with their con-
sciences and the faiths of their children,
than by all the campaigns oratory.

Youths Candidate

The small voices of the children and
youth of America have not been heard
from in this campaign-but will be, we
expect, on election day. 1t is said that
the glamor that surrounds a military
hero appeals strongly to youth. This
is true and is certainly one reason why
younger children in particular, but in
fact all ages of young citizens, like Ike.

Some Old Stuff

heartily agree with your October %
editorial Same Old Stuff" I am an
independent voter and think the country
should be kept safe for democracy by
not having one party in too long, but
speech like Senator Mccarthy made.
consisting of highly colored half truths,
distortion. and association in a period
when Russia was our war and postwar
ally, strongly temptS the independent
voter, as it does me, to change my mind.
His speech was no asset to the Repub-
lican. A. Edward Hardman.
Your editorial with respect to Senator
McCarthy's address indicates fraudu-
lent approach by Mccarthy that some
how failed to detect. You state that his
presentation was "a case built of dis
tortion. half-truth and the guilt-by-
association technique"
value your usually fair editorials,
and should like information as to what
are the real facts with respect to the
points presented by Mccarthy.
C. C. Park.
Same Old Stuff" is of piece with the
cartoon you ran after McCarthy's nomi-
nation, smearing not only him, but the
voters who support him. Sneers have
always seemed to me the brittle armor
OF the consciously vulnerable. Why
don't you. for change, step over that
little fence of fear and dare to examine
Mccarthy and his meaning to the
people?

Stevenson Tops on Rodio

Should AdIai Stevenson lose the elec-
tion (Which profoundly hope will not
be the case), !, for one. should like to
contribute to or sponsor any move
ment or fund to keep the Governor on
on the radio indefinitely.
His speeches are so far superior to
any type of entertainment or instruc-
ton I've encountered through this me-
dunn so far that it is pity they should
be stopped for any reason.
Listening to the inspired workings
OF fine intellect, and following the

the public's pockets without impairing

We. of Virginia, should be proud of
Senator Byrd. He puts the obligations
to his people first with complete dis
regard for the political toes that he may

Arlington Schools

Does Charles w. Carter really believe
that the Arlington schools have nothing
to do with property values? All he has
to do is to ask someone with children,
wishing to buy house. Mr.. Carter seems

the philosophy whats good enough

The Mccarthy Story

Your wrap-up of the Mccarthy Chi

amples of conscientious effort to give
both sides of the controversy. 1t was a
real public service. It is unfortunate
that such technique cannot be applied
on the air as well.

Mr.. Pleven told the National
Assembly. lower house of Parlia-
ment. that with the extra United
States funds, not now expected,
the forces could be increased by
$4,000 soldiers, 5000 airmen and
5000 sailors.
