FLORIDA Editor Writes Drama
On Concer-With Happy Ending
He Decided to Print
Bad News Concerning
One of His Readers
By Hal Boyle
Associated Press StoH Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Some
weeks ago A. P. Cooke, editor and
publisher of the weekly Plant City
(Fla.) Courier. learned some bad
news about one of his readers.
The reader was himself. Should
he print the news or keep silent?
He hesitated, then sat down and
typed out his regular column,
"Just Roaming"
"The word cancer is an ugly
word" he began. 1T is. to most
folks, a cruel word, despairing
word because the very thought Of
it brings despair to any one close
to one so afflicted.
ct have just been told that I
have a cancer in the tissues of
1.-THE mouth, but I am not despair
ing.
You see, medical people say
that early detection is half the
battle, and medical science has
advanced rapidly in the treat
ment of this afiiction."
Recalls Counter Boxes.
Mr.. Cooke recalled wryly how
often he, like his readers, had
dropped a dime into the little
boxes that appear on store coun-
tiers during the American Cancer
Society's annual drive-boxes that
SAY: Cancer Strikes One of Every
Five"
Il thought-if I ever gave it a
thought-that I was one of the
other four. But I was wrong.
Il have become a statistic .
not altogether a pleasant thought
|.
Mr.. Cooke then told his readers
how a dentist had first noticed
the suspicion lump in his mouth,
how his doctor had diagnosed it
as cancer. and of his intention to
fly to New York to see the special
ist his own doctor recommended.
IF I can, I will keep you in
formed meanwhile. good luck
and God be with you until we
meet again"
Further Bad News.
On his arrival here Mr.. Cooke
met further bad news. The spe-
cialist recommended immediate
surgery. He had to make up his
mind in 20 minutes whether to be
operated on two days later or
wait another week. AS he hesitated
the specialist said:
when your garage is on fire,
put it out before it burns up your
car"
Operate" Mr.. Cooke said. The
next day he was in the hospital,
and the day after that he was
operated on. He spent more than
four hours under the knife and

Van Fleets Letter Viewed as Explosive Issue

that the South Koreans could be
trained to become an effective
army in three years. The remark
able progress. however, made by
the South Koreans has nullified
that estimate, for there are now
100000 South Koreans in uniform
and about 100000 in the fighting
line.
Training Gets Impetus.
American parents may expect
that within year OF so, when
25O,000 South Koreans are at the
front, the fighting units of Amer
ican troops will be pulled back OF
the line-proyided the present
agitation to train the South Ko-
reans bears fruit. It appears
that. irrespective of the fact that
the revelations have been made
in a political campaign, the mat
ter Of training the South Koreans
has received an impetus that will
go lar beyond election day.
There has been talk that Gen
Van Fleets recall" had recently
been ordered. This has been de-
MED at the Pentagon. but Mrs.
Van Fleet is said to have learned
OF it several weeks ago. Whether
the recall" would have occurred
anyway on the principle of rotat-
ing commanding officers or
whether it was occasioned by Gen.
Van Fleets frankness on the
problem Of training the South
Koreans is something that may
not be cleared up till after elec-
tion day.

gotten busy on the program
sooner and why it has disregarded
the urgings Of Gen. Van Fleet. The
Pentagon confirms that Gen. Van
Fleet made recommendation in
April. 1852, that 20 divisions Of
South Koreans be trained and
equipped but states that Gen.
Ridgway turned down the recon-
mendation, and the joint chiefs
and the Secretary of Defense ap-
proved Gen. Ridgway's action.
Comments in Interview.
Just week or so before this
on March 26, 1952-Gen. Van
Fleet gave copyrighted interview
to the Tokyo correspondent of the
magazine ~. S. News 81 World
Report" in which this exchange
occurred:
@. On the basis of your expe-
rience in Korea, then. do you feel
that AsianS can supply the bulk
of the manpower for resisting
communism in Asia?

most of the manpoWer can be sup
piled and should be supplied from
native sources. The United States
simply does not possess the man.
power resources adequate to sup
ply troops everywhere in the
world where they may be neces-
sary to resist Communism.
just think, for instance, of the
man-hours wasted in sending
American troops thousands of
miles from the States and then
returning them to the States"
Gen. Van Fleet went on to say
"the South Korean soldier has
proved himself to be one of the
best in the world" and declared
that it would not be possible to
release American divisions be-
cause "the South Koreans cannot
do that job alone" This is exact
ly Gen. Eisenhower's point-that
American troops will have to be
used in the supply areas and as
reserves while the South Koreans
take over the front lines. He. too,
said, Let it be Asians against

The biggest scandal Of the
whole Washington mess" has just
come to the surface.
It Is the fact that Gen. Van
Fleet. commander of the United
States 9th Army in Korea, has
been clamoring for eight months
to get approval of a plan to use
more South Korean troops and
has been blocked by the Truman
administration.
This revelation came first in
the form of a letter from Gen.
Van Fleet read late Wednesday
night by Gen. Eisenhower to a
radio-television audience.
Van Fleets Letter.
Here are Gen. Van Fleets exact
words. written on October 10:
THANK goodness I have in
sisted on high standards in the
Republic of Korea school system
and replacement training CEN
ters, and have a goodly number
of replacements in the pipe line.
I have done this on my own re-
Sponsibility with very little
encouragement. and never an ap-
proval for any increases. I am
confident that approval will be
granted post haste for an in
creased ceiling in the Republic of
Korea Army. I judge this by the
geat number of favorable articles
about the ROK Army appearing
in the press, and to statements
attributed to Secretary Lovett that
the United States is supporting
a ROK Army of approximately
100000.
You know that I have felt all
the time that we should be pre-
pairing strenuously all during the
past year for what may eventually
be required. and that my plans
included doubling the size of the
ROK Army-20 divisions, instead
Of 10. Being unable to get 10
more. I said: Give me six and I
would release two United States
divisions; or, give me four and I
would release one United States
division 1t finally got down to
a two-division increase. but still
no approval to this date"
Wife Released Letter.
The foregoing letter was ad-
dressed to Maj. Gen. Orlando
Hood, former chief of staff of the
9th Army, who is now in Wash
ington, at the same time that a
copy was sent to Mrs. Van Fleet,
who released. it of her own accord
to Gen Eisenhower. The Repub-
lican headquarters said so explic-
lilly in mimeographed announce
ment late Wednesday night.
The entire controversy came
into the headlines originally when
Gen. Eisenhower said in speech
in Illinois on October 2 that the
South Koreans could be prepared
ito defend their own front lines"
The administration promptly said
this was impossible, and Gen. Van
Fleet was quoted in dispatch
from Korea as saying the South
Koreans could never" take over.
He promptly denied this mis-
quotation and said that he had
declared that South Koreans
couldn't take over the entire
ground operation, including re-
serve and supply as well as naval
and air support-which is, of
course, Gen. Eisenhower's posi-
ton.
Then came Lieut.. Gen. Eichel-
berger, former commander Of the
United States 9th Army, who said
the South Koreans in the course
of year or 18 months could take
over the entire front line, and
that this would end casualties for
the United States.
The important fact now is not
so much when the South Koreans
can take over the front lines but
why the administration has not

does think the political system

sible for neglect. To have i'm
piled anything personal as to
Mr.. Truman would have been to
draw the answer in the campaign
that Gov. Stevenson is a differ

point Is to attack the system,
which he doubtless will.
While the corruption issue will
continue to be a Republican
basis for attack. the gentleness
with which it has been handled
thus far by the Republican
standard-bearer gives rise to a
belief that maybe this issue isn't
going to be as prominent as had
been expected.
Gen. Eisenhower says he
wants to travel the middle
way" and Gov. Stevenson says
he does. too. and that both are
"moderates." The Illinois Gov
ernor calls Gen. Eisenhower a
me-tooer." which is a pur-
poseful Characterization. For if
the Democratic nominee can
show that the Republican nomi-
nee believes in the same things
he does, then change" isn't so
necessary after all.
Maybe all this 'ebrotherly
love" in politics will be altered
soon. as the two standard
bearers get into their stride. It
seems incredible that the two
parties will not be tammering
away at each other before long
with much more punch than
they have exhibited thus far.
For II Gov. Stevenson isn't ready
to go right down the line 100
