STRAIGHT
AHEAD
BY Julius j. Adams

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-Its s
all over for another four years
The people have spoken and we
now have a new President-elect.
The task which General Eisen-
hover adanced or the American
people in attempting to unite the
nation-north and south--is one
our future citizens will appreciate
much more than those of us who
watched him and listened 10 him
in the recent campaign could ever
do.
That task, begun by Abraham
Lincoln, ultimately must be COM
pleted if tilis country is ever to
achieve its destiny as the truly
great Democratic nation of the
world.
General Eisenhower suffered vici-
Gus attacks and smears because he
dared campaign in the Southland.
He was rebuked and branded be-
cause he was photographed talking
to Governor James F. ByrneS of
South Carolina. 1t appears to have
been forgotten, at least or the mo-
ment, that South Carolina is a
member of the States of the Union
and that it cannot be isolated any
more than can the State of New
York be isolated.
If ever the South is to become
a more enlightened community
and the political leaders and others
who help mold public opinion are
to lend their support and prestige
to the fight for greater equality
for all people, the leadership to ac-
complish this must come from the
White House.
Unfortunately, neither of our
most recent Democratic Presidents
tried to change the attitude of the
SOutherners through cooperation
and education as well as law. It
has been discovered in all walks
of life that sound leadership can
accomplish far more in the way Of
bringing divergent forces together
than the improperly used "big
stick"
General Eisenhower, whose ex-
perience in getting people of diff
ferent beliefs, races and national
tiles to work together harmonious
ly, to accept his leadership and to
submerge their personal views in
the interest of the greater cause,
is thus established as one of the
great leaders of the modern world.
He must continue the task he has
thus far advanced.
The outcome of the election is
just a milestone. 1t has not solved
the problem. The new President,
if he is to serve the American peo-
pie; if he is to faithful to the
pledges and pbromises he made to
the voters of this country, has no
choice ut to push forward, not by
seeking to penalize any section of
the country, or by isolating any
group or segment, but by becom-
ing a real National leader-of
North and South.
Only in this way shall we-the
American people-be able to build
the kind of nation we owe our
children the kind of nation
Lincoln, Dewey and Eisenhower
envisioned in their campaigns for
unity of the people of America.

It looks today as If Attorney
General j. Howard McGrath's
number were up.
President Truman's advisers
are urging him to make a burnt
offering of Mr.. McGrath to
atone for. the scandals Of the
administration.
The die was to be cast in con-
ferenceS slated for the very near
future. Mr.. Nc Grath has neither
a bad conscience nor the wish to
return to the private practice Of
law. He has not much choice if
the President is persuaded that
the political exigencies dictate
his departure.
If he does go, the announce
ment will come quickly, well be-
fore Congress reconvenes next
Tuesday.
He still may retrieve his
fortunes but the prospect is
dim. Federal Judge Murphy's
acceptance and then rejection
Of a proposed cleanup COM
mission angered the President
personally and soured him on
the commission idea. Judge
Murphy also probably destroyed
any commissions effectiveness.
Into the breach leaped the
the Truman circle with its in
fallible instinct for survival.
What is needed. they are
spreading the word, Is "a
strong prosecutor.
So far, so good. And the
likable Attorney General can
not escape responsibility for his
unsavory and confused tax
division headed by the un-.
lamented Mr.. Caudle.
It does not, however, require
too strenuous an effort of the
imagination to recall that sew
eral Missourians have been
caught with their mistakes
showing, including Mai. Gen.
Vaughan, Donald Dawson and
Secretary of the Treasury
Snyder.
Apparently It is considered
that the mantle of a shiny new
reorganization plan for the In
ternal Revenue Bureau will suf-
flee to cover Mr.. Snyder's red
face. Gen. Vaughan seems to
be leading a somewhat clustered
life, far from the madding
crowd.
There is still Mr.. Dawson.
Though most people did not
realize 1t he was back in the
act in the matter of former
RFC Director Willett's nice
job with the Navy. Mr.. Dawson
had asked his friend, Navy
Undersecretary Whitehair, to
take care of Mr.. Willett. When

Almost Impossible One-Mon Job
Burden Carried by President on World Policy Decisions
Should Be Taken Over by Top Government Council
Dovid Lowrence:

There is something incongru-
Gus about the scramble in the
Republican party for a chance
to win the nomination for the
presidency when a close look
at what confusing and oppres-
sive problems surround the pres
ent incumbent of the White
House might logically cause
everyone else to Shun the job.
For the truth is the presi-
dency has become an almost
impossible task for one man.
Even with the best intentions
in the world, Mr.. Truman has
sought to meet his responsible
ties by delegating power and
authority to individual cabinet
officers or to heads of agencies.
That formula will not work any
longer.
For government by delega-
ton to a single cabinet officer
Is still one-man government.
No one man is able nowadays
to make all the decisions en-
trusted to him. The problem,
for example, of making interna-
tional policies today is in reality
something for conference and
committee or for action by a
chosen group.
It is incredible that decisions
are made today in Washington
in the field of foreign policy by
one man - the Secretary of
State or by one assistant in a
specialized field.
1t is incredible that the Secre-
tary Of State makes the decisions
that restrict the action of the
Defense Department.
1t is incredible that there is no
national council which actually
takes the responsibility for the
calculated risks in foreign policy
that are interviewer so closely in
armament plans and defense
policy.
The other day q member of
the cabinet Of the late President
Roosevelt asked the writer If
the decision to 60 into Korea
was q wise one.
The answers which this CORE
spondent made are given here
Evening star., 1952-01-04

while making that decision If
only to discover that the u. N.
is incapable of furnishing col
lective security and that region
al alliances alone can afford
security.
Now, irrespective of whether
the foregoing answers will be
accepted as persuasive, there
can be no doubt that decisions
were involved before and after
the Korean Intervention which
should have been appraised not
by the President and his Sec
retary Of State alone but by
a group Of the ablest men in
the military. the diplomatic and
the legislative departments of
the Government. All these cal
culated risks should have been
weighed on a long range basis
before Korea.
The tragedy is that no such
top council has been function
ing in our Government. The
National Security Council Gre
ated by Congress is a paper Or
ganization which has not been
doing the job intended for it by
Congress. The So-called top
command is a myth. The lack
of collaboration between all fac
tors in Government who could
formulate a long-range policy is
one of the weaknesses in our
present system.
Whether a new President of
the United States would change
this is difficult to conjecture,
but the present-day conception
of the presidency is outmoded.
The British cabinet system is
far better in one respect at
least-it is a collaboration Of
the best minds in the majority
party, whereas in America the
cabinet is just a group of ex-
ecutive administrators who know
only their own departmental
problems. Eighty billions for
armament without a planned
foreign policy is like pulling big
guns up to the firing lines with
out a range finder or without
aerial reconnaissance.

merely to illustrate the lack Of
policy in that all-important
situation which has since had
consequences that have affected
America in the economic, politi-
cal and foreign fields. Here is
not one but a series of answers
to the question: Should we
have gone into Korea?"
/. If intervention in Korea was
justified, then the top command
in the United States was asleep
at the switch. We had no ex-
peditionary force in Japan be-
forehand but merely an occupa-
ton army unequipped for any
such service as Korea required.
2. If we intended to protect
our frontiers in 1850, then the
top command should have in
sisted ahead Of time on putting
enough naval, air and ground
forces in Okinawa or Japan to
take care of the emergencies
that might come in the Far East
in the cold war.
3. If, in intervening in Korea,
it was not intended to conduct
the operation with maximum
force, as General Macarthur or
any other purely military man
would have recommended, then
it was a mistake ever to have
gone into Korea.
4. If the decision to intervene
in Korea was a sound one, then
the U. N. members should have
been obliged to supply proper
tionate forces and if these were
not forthcoming. the American
military commander should have
been given a free hand to secure
his objectives by maximum
force.
S. If the United States feared
that maximum force in Korea
meant a third world war and if
fear of a third world war is a
justified reason for hesitation,
the decision to take no risks
should have been made before
committing any troops to Korea.
6. The decision to intervene
was justified on the assumption
that the U. N. would furnish
adequate support. It was worth

Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson

The nod, that is, for the 1852
Democratic presidential nomina-
ton for which the Chief JUS
tice is MIR. Truman's first choice
and, as Of now, presumably his
only choice.
The two men have an under
standing on this subject which
includes an understanding, as
well. Of circumstances that
might arise later to make this
solution Of the 1852 Democratic
dilemma not as wise or politic-
ally feasible as it seems today. :
The prospective candidacy Of
Chief Justice Vinson. while
rumored for some time, is a
much more unorthodox project
than might appear from casual
or superficial contemplation,
much more, for instance, than
just another political figure Of
long and varied experience be-
ing discussed for a presidential
nomination.
This is because Of the post he
occupies. He would have to step
down from the still rarefled and
almost sanctified realm Of the
Supreme Court, from its presid-
ing rostrum in fact, into the
sawdust Of the political arena. q
transition to which our thinking
is yet not easily accustomed. We
have kept the bench above poll
tics, at least in our attitudes.
The Chief Justice has had to
face this in making his adjust
ment for possible resumption Of
a political career, and must con-
tinue to face it.
One might assume-from hui
man calculations-that contrib
uting to such an adjustment is
the metamorphosis that occurs
to all men before whom Is dangled
1nvitingly the chance to try for
the highest Office In our land,
and now the biggest job In the
world. This was described by
Abraham Lincoln in one of those
rare instances in our history
where a confession is recorded,
and in his honey. folksy way in
q letter to Senator Lyman Trum-
bull Of Illinois, thus:
"As you request, I will be en-
tirely frank. The taste is in my
mouth a little; and this, no
doubt, disqualif1es me, to some
extent, to form correct opin-
ions."
That came late from Abraham
Lincoln, only a few weeks before
the 1860 Republican convention
when it finally began to appear
that maneuvers long underway
might make possible his nomina-
ton as a compromise candidate.
A year or so ago, the Chief
Justice was turning aside talk
about the presidency with a very
convincing mo-" with the argu-
ment that a member of the Su-
preme Court should not leave
the bench to become a candidate
for the presidency.
. Whether this traditional atti-
tude still carries as much weight
generally as once supposed can
not, of course, be estimated.
That the President. himself, does
not put much stock in it was
exemplified in 1948 when he
sought to induce Justice William
o. Douglas. who is still on the
court, to become his running
mate. In fact. four years before,
the late President Roosevelt had
bracketed Justice Douglas with
Senator Harry Truman of Mis-
souri, as acceptable for the vice
presidential nomination; and for
1852, as before, Justice Douglas
still is being promoted for the
