Politicians Running Korean War
$50 900 American Fighting Men in Serious Predconent
AS Chinese Reds Pile Up Arms Planes and Monpower
Constantine Brown:

Many Americans. who these
days. are concerned with the
approaching national elections,
the scandals and misdeeds in
the Government and the heavy
burden of taxation, pay only
scant attention to the tragedy
which is occurring 1000 miles
away. In Korea some $4,000
American foot. air and naval
fighters find themselves in q
serious predicament.
There is little heavy fighting
now in the war we undertook
nearly two years ago. During
the nine months since the
phony arrnistice parleys started
the enemy has increased his
military and air capabilities to
the point that II major opera
tions are resumed our chances
Of success will depend exclu-
siyely on employment of atomic
weapons. It is true that at this
time the Allied forces, with a 80
per cent American participation,
could withstand an enemy Of
fensive for some six months, but
defense actions do not bring
victory. What would happen
after the six months? Would
we seek another armistice in
the event the enemy does not
succeed In throwing US out of
Korea? According to reports
from that battlefield we did
have a chance Of defeating the
Reds last June when the plans
to. resume the offensive were
completed. They were not put
into effect because Of the sug-.
gestion of Russia's Ambassador
Jacob Malik that we propose
cease-flre to the badly shaken
Chinese and North Korean
armies.
There is a military axiom
that when two armies of nearly
equal strength are opposing
each other the one which is
closest to its base of operations
is the most likely to be success
full. The Reds are within a few
hundred miles of their base
across the Yalu River, where
they have not only important
power reserves but also the pro-
duction of the former Jap
anese arsenals which are now
working "a hours a day. We are
1000 miles away from our main
supply centers. We cannot hope
to equal the enemy manpower
and are tagging sadly in air
craft production.
The fear Of Russia's inter-
vention in the Far Eastern con-
flict induced Washington to for
bid the bombing of the Red
arms manufacturing centers at
Mukden and elsewhere in Man
churia. We have not even de-

Nebraska he assailed Senator
Taft as a Hoover retread." He
can be expected, by reason Of
his breezy personality, to have
widespread appeal in the region
at which he is aiming.
AS his rivals will surely point
out. this block-like the South
at a Republican convention
more nearly represents delegate
strength than it does electoral
college support. The States, by
and large. which Senator Kerr
is lining up have not been in the
Democratic column consistently.
Even when they are their con-
tribution in electoral votes Is
relatively modest.
Still, they will do nicely for
trading purposes in the kind of
Democratic convention which
looms If Mr.. Truman does not
act soon to rivet his own hold
on the nomination.
Senator Kerr will be able to
concentrate on Nebraska while
Senator Kefauver will not. The
Wisconsin primary is April /
also and % pledged delegates
are at stake. 1t is therefore the
more important and while SEN

reau viii delay the program
proposed originally by Gen.
Hoyt Vandenberg until 1854.
The Army appropriations pro-
vide for only one additional
division for the coming fiscal
year. We apparently can not
reduce the ground forces sent
to Germany and other Western
European countries to provide
a real increase in foot soldiers
for Gen. James Van Fleet in
Korea. These forces repeatedly
are in good shape defensively.
but who has ever heard Of an
army winning a war on the de-
fenSive?
President Truman apparently
was informed recently Of the real
conditions in Korea. It is not
known. however, whether he
who alone can decide on the use
of atomic weapons has made up
his mind to permit their en-
ployment II the enemy should
resume an offensive In Korea.
Before deciding the military
merits of such an enterprise he
must consider the political con-
sequences both at home and
abroad. Yet, according to some
professional men conversant
with the actual situation in that
war, our only effective answer to
the Reds If they should decide to
resume their aggression would
be the use of these new destruc-.
tive weapons.

has odd ideas concerning judi

Senator McCarran, as chairman

to question Newbold Morris
regarding membership in an
organization called the Com

Morris did not deny his mem-
bership.
OF what was this committee
guilty, what kind Of subversive
activity did it engage in? In
its own small way it campaigned
in 1850 against the reelection
of certain Senators. And one
of those Senators was Nc

chances; it is a fact that Sena-
tor Kerr has most of the Demo-
cratic organization behind him
in Nebraska.
1t is not, however, mucn Of
an organization and in recent
years has produced few Demo-
cratic victories. AS usual. SEN
ator Kefauver has attracted
eager amateurs and young peo-
pie. Nebraskans here say he is
fortunate in having Frank Nor
rison, McCook lawyer and for
mer candidate for Governor, as
his campaign manager. #
Senator Kerr'S Nebraska
forces are headed by Bernard
Boyle, an Omaha lawyer who is
described as not being in the
habit Of losing local elections in
which he interests himself. Mr..
Boyle is a Catholic, a fact which
has some significance in view of
a whispering campaign against
Senator Kerr which says he
didn't support AL Smith for
President and is anti Catholic.
No evidence is offered to sup
port the charge; Senator Kerr
stoutly and categorically denies
it. It may stem from the fact
that certain Baptists have
stanchly opposed appointment
OF an ambassador to the Vati-
can. and Senator Kerr-like
President Truman-is a leading
Baptist layman.

President Truman and Gov.
Byrnes of South Carolina could
both be right with respect
to certain aspects Of the
mysterious memorandum which
Mr.. Truman says he read on
January 5. 1946, to his then
Secretary Of State James F.
Byrnes, and which Mr.. Byrnes
says he never heard Of before it
was revealed in the diary book
just now published.
This correspondent telephoned
the other day to Gov. Byrnes
to ask his comment on the
forthcoming book, "Mr. Presi-
dent" written by William Hill
man. and the South Carolina
Governor said he had already
been apprised by the Associated
Press Of the contents Of the
letter. Mr.. Truman admits he
never sent the letter but declares
that he read it out loud to Mr..
Byrnes
The Governor was emphatic
In saying to this writer that he
never heard Of the letter before
and in adding that, If any such
letter had been read to him, he
would have resigned instantly as
Secretary of State. His reason,
Of course, is that the circum-
stances outlined in the memo
randum were not of a nature to
justify such an outburst by the
President. The only way he
could account for it at all was to
speculate that Mr.. Truman was
probably needed by certain per-
sons around him unfriendly to
Mr.. Byrnes and a memoran-
dunn which some Of those per-
sons wanted him to write to
the Secretary of State was pre-
pared. Then the President pre-
sumably rephrased some of it in
Ionghand, intending to read it in
to Mr.. Byrnes, yet never did,
and then put it away in his file.
Mr.. Truman, it is said, has
written many personal letters
which he has never mailed.
Probably he has kept copies or
the originals in his files as re-
