For Consolidated Front in Asia
Using Many Units Now Idle, Plan Seeks Coordination
Of Ant-Red Forces From Korea to the Southeast
Constantine Brown:

The consolidation of the Far
Eastern front from Korea to
Southeast Asia is the object Of
a careful study by American
and French military men. Po-
litical considerations may pre-
vent this project from becoming
a fact. But the fundamental
idea, that the West should
offer a co-ordinated resistance
to Red encroachments on all
fronts, appears to be sound.
The plan is said to have been
broached first to Pentagon
strategists when Marshal Al
phonse Pierre Juin visited
Washington early this year. 1t
is based on the fact that Amer
lean forces, supported by a few
small United Nations contin-
gents, are fighting a difficult
campaign against Moscow's
Chinese and North Korean pup
pets, so do the French in Indo-
China. In between these two bat
tie fronts there is an army of
some 100000 Chinese Nation
alists which has received only
enough military equipment to
make three divisions ready for
combat. The rest of this strongly
anti-Communist force is idle
because it lacks the necessary
hardware. The Thailand mill
tary potential is good, as the
Korean fighting has demon
strated, but it, too, lacks equip
ment.
The French are following their
own strategy. 1t is not CO.
ordinated with that of America.
which with the new and eff
cient ROK forces is bearing the
brunt of the war. Potentially,
there is sufficient anti-Com-
munist manpower in Asia to
meet all threats - including
Russian intervention - if the
manpower were properly con-
served and co-ordinated. More
than 100 million Asiatics are
willing to oppose the Red en-
croachments if given the oppor-
tunity. Japan, for instance,
could muster million without

trouble. and moreover has
knowledge of military manufac-
ture. South Korea could in
crease its present trained con-
tingents greatly if it could get
the weapons.
The French have been train
ing the Vietnamese with high
success. The Western attitude
that Asiatics must be written
off as military allies has been
disproved by those who are now
fighting against the Com
muniStS.
Since Western Europe cannot
provide the weapons, it is up
to the United States with its
immense manufacturing poten-
tial to start arming the Far
Eastern nations which are will
ing to become our associates to
preserve their freedom. And it
is likely that those peoples will
be more responsive than the
war-weary peoples of Europe.
For the time being the
American and French war plan
ners have no cohesive strategy.
We are fighting on two inde-
pendent fronts as if there were
no link between them, or as if
we did not have to deal with the
same enemy. It is true that the
French Strategists have been
concerned over risk involving
them If an armistice were
signed in Korea. They realize
that if this happened the Reds
could concentrate a much great
er force to defeat them in Indo-
China and take away the most
important rice bowl in Asia.
Some of the French military
suggested that such an armistice
might be made dependent on
an equal cease-f1re in Indo-
China. This was quickly re-
jected. The diplomats argued
that there was no connection
between a police operation un-
dertaken under U. N. auspices
and French" war intended
to defeat a rebel group of
Wet Mini. This lack of appreci-
alton of the Muscovite strategy

Air Force Talks Risk Trouble
careless Speeches by Leaders Stort Another Bitter Debate
Which Produces Dissension in All Service Branches
David Lowrence:

Careless Speech-making by
high officials of the United
States Air Force can bring on
another bitter controversy be-
tween the armed services.
Statements published recently
by spokesmen for the Air Force
have argued that there should
be but one Air Force instead of
one in the Navy, one in the
Marine Corps. one in the Army
and one in the United States Air
Force.
To the average person IN
informed about these matters
it might look like a logical
formula and as if there had
been waste. But the fact is that
the Air Force spokesmen are
merely starting another debate
which cannot fail in the end to
produce dissension and loss of
morale in the armed services
themselves.
In view of past history it is
surprising that the Secretary of
Defense. Robert Lovett, has not
reprimanded the Air Force
spokesmen, for they are really
preaching disunity and discord.
This is entirely at variance
with what Gen. Eisenhower has
preached in the past-for he
believes in the proper co-or-
dination of all armed services,
each retaining their special
values.
The argument for a single Air
Force always arises when there
is an economy wave on the ho-
riZon. There are many persons
on the other hand who conSci-
entiously believe in a single Air
Force but who never had any
experience with Naval aviation
or Marine Corps aviation and
who do not really know what
these airmen do under combat
conditions.
Actually there is no more rea-
son to put all planes under a
single command than there is
to put all motor vehicles or guns
in the armed forces into a single
service. An airplane is an in

the weapon they were supposed
to be while the aircraft carrier.
on the other hand, has justified
itself many times over-not the
least of which was when the
carriers were used as emergency
ferryboats to transport United
States Air Force fighter planes
from California to Korea in
July, 1850. Likewise, in 1850,
when the United States Air
Force didn't have land bases in
Korea. but had to come all the
way from bases in Japan, thus
using up good deal of gasoline
to and from Korea and allowing
a limited time over Korean tar
gets, the United States Navy's
air arm was functioning close
to the shore from aircraft car
riers and making hundreds of
sortieS over the targets every
day.
There is no reason, moreover,
why the Navy shouldn't be per-
mitted to carry on long range
bombing or strategic warfare
from the decks of aircraft car
riers. No armed service should
have a monopoly of ways and
means of hurting the enemy in
a war.
But all the points for and
against single air force should
not today be the subject of de-
bate at all. The B-36 investiga-
tion by Congress and the Ko-
rean War showed the true i'm
portance of Navy. Only Stain
could benefit if the United States
Navy's air arm were weakened.
1t would be most unfortunate
II the statements from high Air
Force officials in recent days
mean that America is about to
be plunged into another tragic
period of friction between the
armed services. Any attempted
sabotage of the United States
Naval Air Force should be
stopped at once-and Gen.
Eisenhower will make short
shrift of the discord makers if
the esent administration
doesn't act promptly to do so.

TO sew up Asia before it can
undertake operations in the
rest of the globe-seems alto
gether to escape the diplomats
Of the Western nations still
welded to the notion of avoid
ing "unpleasantness" with the
Kremlin.
The creation of a single froat
extending from Korea to the
southern tip of Asia has found
response in the Pentagon but
was received coldly by our
British friends. They point out
that Britain has recognized the
Communist regime at Peiping
and any participation in such
an undertaking might bring
Britain into direct conflict with
the Chinese Communists.
Such an action, they say,
would Immediately jeopardize
their situation in Hong Kong,
where the British maintain
themselves only by Peiping's tol-
erance.
The French believe that
America may become more re-
sponsive to their plans after
Gen. Eisenhower returns from
his Korean trip. They hope he
will discover what most military
men appreciate at present: that
an armistice with the Reds will
be only a temporary affair to
permit the enemy to increase

The Phoenix Urban League, a
local Red Feather Agency, has as
one of it's services the responsible
:ty of developing employment op-
portunitieS for minoritieS. 1t is
especially interested in the place
ment of skilled workers in all in
dustries. Employers who are not
accustomed to hiring Negroes usu-
ally will hire a highly skilled Ne
gro, because of scarcity.
At the present time there is a
shortage of many types of skilled
workers in the Phoenix area. In
order for the Nrban League to
work toward the hiring and inte-
grafton of Negroes in many plants,
it is necessary that it have on rec
ord, either in the Urban League
Office or the State Employment
Office, a supply of available work
ers who can be placed Immediately
when the openings are made.
The Urban League urges any
and all Negroes who are skilled
in any given field to register at
the Urban League Office. This
agency is particularly interested IN
certified welders, all types of en-
gineers, metal. workers, mechanics
and steel layout men. Custodians
with years of experience should
also register.
The Urban League Office, located
at 702 East Adams Street, in the
Community Service Building, is
