OPS Finds ''ReaI"
Price Of Beef

A study just completed by the
Philadelphia regional Office Of
Price Sterilization gives the actual
price paid for the solid meat in
steaks and roasts.
Highest OPS ceiling prices for
pOrterhouse, T-bone and club
steaks in this region is $1.28 per
pound. According to the results of
the OPS study, the actual cost to
the housewife of the lean meat in
these cuts exclusive of fat and bone
is from $2.40 to $3.50 a pound.
A ten-inch rib roast, on the same
basis, costs $1.55 pound, although
the top OPS ceiling price for this
cut is only 85c a pound. Real cost
of the solid meat in other cuts runs
in about the same proportion to
the price per pound paid the butch
er, OPS said.
The study is based on a similar
study of relative meat cut values
made some time ago at the Univer-
sity Of Illinois in cooperation with
the U. S. Department of AgricuI-
ture, OPS said.
In fact, the only beef cut in
which the housewife gets full value
in actual meat is the flank steak.
This cut is free of both fat and
bone and has a top ceiling of 92c
q pound.
Cheapest beef cut listed by OPS
is plate meat, used in soups and
stews Ceiling prices for this range
from 80 to AZ cents a pound. But
after allowance for fat and bone,
this cut comes to SAC if full ceiling
price is paid.
OPS said choice grade meats
were used in making the calcula-
tiOns. The price spread would be
crater for prime meat, and cor
respOndingly lower for cheaper
grades. OPS pointed out that the
fat on higher grade meats accounts
for its better taste and relatively
higher price.

Review OF The Week: Loyalty Issue Is Raised Anew

u EPERCUSSIONS of the not-so-
N cold war between communism
and democracy were felt on three
fronts in the United States this
week.
Each, in a way, delighted some
Americans and dismayed others.
All drew from the press and COM
mentators a wealth of reaction,
varying predictably with the indi-
vidual outlooks Of those who
reacted.
The events were:
Q A Federal grand jury indictment
of Far Eastern expert Owen Latti-
more on seven counts Of perjury in
connection with testimony given
before a Senate group.
. A State Department announce
ment of the suspension of John
Carter Vincent, veteran Foreign
Service officer, on the ground of
reasonable doubt as to his loyalty
to the Government of the United
States"
. A Supreme Court decision unani-
mously invalidating loyalty oath
imposed on public servants by the
State of Oklahoma.

budget, to be followed, If possible,
with tax reductions.
Last Friday there was some solid
information from the Eisenhower
headquarters. The general named
his Secretaries of the Army, Navy
and Air Force. They were:
Robert Ten Brock Stevens, South
Plainf1eld IN. j. tile manufacturer,
Secretary of the Army.
Robert Bernerd Anderson, Ver-
non (Tex.) attorney, Secretary of
the Navy.
Harold L. Talbot, New York
banker, Secretary OF the Air Force.
They will serve under Charles E.
Wilson, to be Secretary of Defense.
Wilson, head of General Motors,
also got Deputy Secretary of De-
fenSe Friday-Roger M. Kyes, one
of Wilson'S GIN vice presidents. The
two General Motors alumni would
feel right at home in the Eisen-
hover official family. Arthur Sum-
merfleld, Postmaster General-des-
ignate, and Gov. Mckay of Oregon,
to be Secretary of Interior, both
are former GIN dealers.

He would not outline a policy until
Inauguration day gave him the
power to carry 1t out.
String Of Callers
After he unpacked his bags and
had a good nights sleep, Gen.
Eisenhower began to receive string
of callers. John Foster Dulles,
Secretary Of State-designate, and
John J. McCloy, friend and adviser,
talked with Ike about European
unity. They did not say what con-
cluSionS were reached.
The next day Senators H. Alex
ander Smith of New Jersey and
Frank Carlson of Kansas, both
long time Eisenhower hackers,
dropped in to talk about Senator
Taft. They emerged to say that
they would 1ndorse Taft as Senate
majority leader and that Eisen-
hover would not take sides. That,
in effect, gave the Eisenhower nod
to Taft. When the Ohio Senator
announced officially for the job
later last week, it was clear that
likes indirect boost had removed
all question of whether Taft would
win.
Macarthur Meeting
Then came the long-awaited con-
ference with General of the Army
Douglas Macarthur. The two met
on neutral ground-Dulles' Man.
haitian home. The two generals
emerged after two and quarter
hours and told reporters only that
they had talked about Korea and
the world situation. There. was no
hint of the plan for an honorable
end to the Korean war which Mac
Arthur had indicated he had. Nor
was there any hint whether Eisen-
hover would accept, reject or mere
ly consider his old boss plan. They
apparently did not schedule an
other meeting.
There were legislative problems
the following day. Representative
Joseph w. Martin, jr, of Massa-
chusettS, sure to be the next
Speaker of the House; Representa-
tive Charles A. Halleck of Indiana,
to be majority leader, and Repre-
sentative Leslie C. Arends of Illi-

to swear that they did not advocate

~ dicated he was confident that
he had been elected President last
Monday. His discussions and plans
would be wasted if the 531 elec-
tors who gathered in 48 States
last week voted for some other
native-born American over the age
of IS. The electors would have been
completely within their rights to
have done so.
There appeared, however, to be
good chance that Gen. Eisenhower
would indeed be the winner. These
signs pointed toward his victory:
The general won a Nation wide
popularity contest last November
in which he pitted his reputation
against that Of the present Cover
nor of Illinois, Adlai Stevenson.
OF the 531 presidential electors
formally chosen in conjunction with
that informal test, 442 are known
to be Republicans.
The Republican Party, in a con-
vention last July, agreed to back
Gen. Eisenhower for the presidency.
The Republican electors are be-
lieved to be loyal to their party's
choice.
But the outcome will not be
known for sure until January 8,
when the House and Senate meet
in joint session to count the Elec-
toral College votes. The winner as
announced by Congress will be in

Vincent

Like baltimore" the name "Vin-
cent" has become a right-wing
phrase of political oppobrium. But
the matter of John Carter Vincent
last week was far different from
that of Owen baltimore. Unlike
the Maryland professor, the For
eign Service career man was not
accused of any crime. In fact, in
the view of some persons, he was
not accused of wrongdoing in any
form.
Mr.. Vincent is one of the senior
men in our Foreign Service. Up to
the time of his suspension, he
represented us at Tangier.
Officially, the action against Vim
cent was an administrative one
taken by the State Department on
the basis of report from the
Presidents Loyalty Review Board.
The board, in a letter to the
Secretary of State dated December
IL, told of its deliberations in the
Vincent case and summarized:
''While we are not required to
find Mr.. Vincent guilty of disloyalty
and We do not do so, his conduct in
office, as clearly indicated by the
record, forces us reluctantly to con-
clude that there is reasonable doubt
as to his loyalty to the Government
of the United States"
Firing Urged
The board urged the State De-
partment to fire Vincent, but the
department, in announcing the
finding, said it was ordering him
home under suspension. President
Truman and Secretary Acheson,
the department said, would discuss
the case as soon as they had an
opportunity.
Like the baltimore indictment,
the Vincent suspension grew out
of Internal Security subcommittee
hearings. This group labeled Vim
cent "the principal fulcrum of
Institute of Pacific Relations pres
sures and influence in the State
Department"
There was another similarity be-
tween the cases Of baltimore and
Vincent. Both matters were closely
tied in with the United States
change in sentiment toward Chang
Kai-shek's Chinese Nationalist gov
ernment after World War II.
Harsh Words
OF Vincent, the loyalty board
had some harsh things to say. It
asserted that he had had studied
praise" for the Chinese Reds and
studied criticism" of Chiang's re-
gime throughout a period when it
was the declared and established
policy of the Government of the
United States to support Chang
Kai-shek's government"
The big difference between Latti-
more and Vincent lay in the fact
that baltimore, being accused, now
had q chance to vindicate himself
Evening star., 1952-12-21

Communists, not one ever had been
brought to book. baltimore has
been one of the Wisconsin Senator's
prime targets. His conviction could
be vindication of what Mccarthy
calls his crusade against COM
munism.
The baltimore trial may equal in
drama the 1949-50 perjury trials
of Alger Hiss. But there is an in
teresting difference between the
two cases. Hiss was tried for per-
jury because the statute of limita-
tions had run out on the crime he
allegedly had committed-espion-
age. The only crime baltimore Is
alleged to have committed, how
ever, is lying. 1t is not legally
punishable offense, of course, to
be sympathetic with Communists.

and Pacific cruise last week and
got on with the job of building his
administration. Reporters and curl
Gus crowds were anxious to hear
what the next President had de-
cided about the Korean war and
about his program for America, but
Ike wasn't talking much.
On Korea he had these COM
ments: The Korean war is a part
of the painful fight against world
wide Communist aggression. Ger
tain problems of supply have to be
worked out in Korea. Training of
South Korean troops should be
speeded up.
He did not elaborate on his plans.

Oklahoma

In April, 1851, an Oklahoma law
requiring loyalty oaths of all per-
sons on the State payroll became
effective. The statute gave public
servants 80 days to take the oath,
which included a promise to bear
arms in defense of the United
States if necessary.
At the end of the oath-taking
period, seven teachers still had not
complied with the law. An Okla
homa taxpayer sued to stop the
teachers salaries.
1t was not Red case";; In fact,
it had all the earmarks of a test
case. Five of the seven teachers
who refused to take the oath ex-
planned that they had religious
compunctions against taking part
IN war. Even the two who did
not claim conscientious scruples
were not branded Reds; the two
sides stipulated when the case first
came to trial in Oklahoma that
none of the teachers was connected
with a subversive group.
Question Of Rights
The Oklahoma courts ruled in
favor of the taxpayer, and said
that State employees had no consti-
tutional right to their jobs except
on terms prescribed by the State.
The teachers appeal to the Su-
preme Court was based on the "due
process" clause in the Federal Con-
Stltution. They said their original
contracts with the Oklahoma Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College
had no oath provisions and that
the law worked as a bill of at
talnder in taking their property
without due process of law. The
property" in question, of course.
was their jobs.
The Supreme Court upheld the
teachers-and invalidated the Okla
homa court decision-Without a
dissenting voice. Justice Robert H.
Jackson was not represented in
the 80 decision because he did not
hear the arguments.
Further Than Suit 4
The courts opinion appeared to
go further than the mere area of
the lawsuit. It explored the
shadowland of "subversive lists"
like those compiled by the Attorney
General, and lashed out particularly
hard at a provision requiring a
State employe to swear that he
had not belonged to any "subver-
sive" group in the preceding five
years.
There was no distinction made
in the law, the court noted, be-
tween persons who knowingly joined
subversive groups and those who
Joined through ignorance. "A

opinion said, may have joined a
prescribed organization unaware of
its activities and purpose. In re-
cent years, many completely loyal
persons have severed organizational
ties after learning for the first time
of the character of groups to which
they belonged"
The oath, the court said, "offends
due process" It was an assertion
of arbitrary power" for the State
to require such an oath as a con-
dition of employment.
Some Ooths Stond
The immediate effect of the de-
cision seemed to spell happy days
for the seven teachers from Okla
homa. But the courts ruling
distinctly did not invalidate all
loyalty oaths. There are three

NATO PorIey

N7HEN the Council of the North
W Atlantic Treaty Organization
met for the first time a year ago in
Lisbon, NATO was new and the
Council had little upon which to
base its planning but shrewd guess
ing. But the Council, the supreme
administrative body of the alliance,
set firm goals" for military growth
during 1852, provisional goals" for
1858 and planning goals" for 1854.
The group intended to meet again
this month to make firm" last
years 1858 provisional goals, make
the planning goals provisional and
then look into 1855 for new PLAN
ming goals.
But when the scheduled meeting
approached, it became obvious that
a December conference could do
little to firm up the plans. The
United States delegation could not
commit this country to a detailed
1858 program, because the Eisen-
hover administration will want to
review and perhaps modify our
NATO policy. European represent
atives were frankly looking for ways
to reduce their commitments,
although the intentions of their
countries for SO also had not jelled.
Stock Tokine
It was decided to hold the meet
ing anyhow. There was need to
take stock of the results of the SO
buildup. It had fallen short of the
Lisbon goal, but the Council wanted
to know how serious the lag could
be. Also, there were several mis-
cellaneous administrative matters
that could be handled Immediately.
The Council met four days last
week in Paris. The major decisions
on '53 through IS goals-will be
made at a later meeting, set for
Paris in the spring.
Here were the results of the
meeting:
A NATO construction budget of
$229.6 million was approved. This
was about half of what Gen. Mat
thew B. Ridgway asked. The Coun-
Gil decided to give the go-ahead
during this meeting only to the
top priority projects. This would
keep the program running until the
spring meeting when it would be
reviewed and probably extended.
Gen. Ridgway vehemently criticized
the decision, however. He regarded
1t as a victory for the European
elements which believe Russia does
not want war and will not precipi-
tate war. Secretary of State Ache
son, on his return to Washington,
said, on the other hand, that the
decisions made at Paris were minor
but satisfactory.
The impasSe over command of
the NATO Mediterranean fleet was
broken. Both the United States
and Britain had claim on the job.
So the command was split. Ad-
miral Lord Mountbatten was named
commander in chief of all but the
American forces, reporting directly
to Gen. Ridgway. But Admiral
Robert B. Carney was left in COM
mand of the American 9Th Fleet in
the Mediterranean, also reporting
to Ridgway. Mountbatten will keep
the sea lanes clear. Carney will
support land operations in Southern
Europe.
The Council voted to recognize
the French operations in Indo-
China as part of the NATO opera
ton. In effect that would acknowl-
edge that the war in Indo-C China
was a part of the global cold war,
and Frances effort there would be
subtracted from what she had to
do for NATO in Europe.

Lottimore

Each development was peculiarly
significant. The most spectacular
was the indictment of DR.. Latti-
more, whose name has become
a sort of political cussword mainly
through the efforts of Senators
Mccarthy of Wisconsin and Nc
Carran of Nevada.
The 52-year-old Johns Hopkins
professor-put on leave with pay
by the university as soon as his
indictment was handed up-has
denied the charges in the indict-
ment. Arraigned Friday, he pleaded
not guilty.
The nine-page indictment against
baltimore grew out of stormy ses-
Sions before an Internal Security
subcommittee headed by Senator
McCarran. The Nevada legislator
had had his eye on baltimore ever
since Joe Mccarthy, in 1850, labeled
the professor the "top Soviet agent"
in the United States and the archi-
tect Of reputedly pro-Communist
policy regarding China.
In 1851 and 1852, baltimore was
hailed before the McCarran group.
Never a man to mince words, he
lashed out fiercely at his inquisitors
as they tried apparently to link him
with activities iniHical to the
United States.
Bill of PorticuIors
The aftermath of his testimony
was a demand by McCarran that
Lattimore'S answers be screened by
the Justice Department with view
to perjury prosecution. Last weeks
Indictment was a result of that
screening. Here are the charges
handed up against him by the
grand jury:
l. That he falsely swore he had
never been sympathizer or any
other kind of promoter of COM
munism or Communist interests.
(This appears to be the key count
In the whole 'bill.)
2. That he testified falsely that
he did not know, prior to 1850,
that a Chinese named Ch'ao Ting
Chi was Communist.
8. That he falsely denied knowing
that writer using the pen-name
of Asiaticus was a Communist.
4. That he testified falsely that,
as editor of the magazine Pacific
Affairs, he had never knowingly
published an article by a non-
Russian Communist.
S. That he Swore to a falsehood
by saying he had dined with the
Soviet Ambassador after-and not
before-the Soviet-Nazi break in
June of 1941.
6. That he testified falsely that
he did not take care of Lauchlin
Currie'S mail at the White House
during Mr.. Currie's absence.
Z. That he denied having arranged
In advance with Chinese Commu-
niSts for visit to Red headquarters
in the Yunan Province of China.
Like any other indictment, this
one was merely an accusation-not
a conviction. The effect of its
issuance was simply to say that %
citizens had heard the Govern
ment's side of the case and thought
the whole thing should be aired
in open court.
CholIenee to Lottimore
The indictment was, however, a
direct challenge to Prof. baltimore
to show that his hands were clean.
One of the most devastating criti-
cisms to date of Joe Mccarthy has
been that of all the persons he has
maligned as Communists or pro-
