Constantine Brown:
Similar Bombings Now Likely
Iimid Allies Somewhat Reossured by Failure of Reds
To Retoliote for Smashing of Korea Power Plants
Constantine Brown:

For the time being those timid
allies who were worried that
our serious damaging Of the
hydroelectric plants in North
Korea would bring enemy re-
prisals are somewhat treasured.
There has been no reaction from
the Chinese except a mild verbal
one
Military men on the spot ven-
ture the suggestion that the
Manchurian arsenals now are
deprived Of much of their vital
current and the Reds cannot
afford to undertake major re-
taliatory offensive for fear that
they may be placed in the same
desperate position they were
last May when. after having
shot their bolt for several
months, they found themselves
lacking tanks. guns and am
munition for their small wea-
pons.
The stockpile of the Chinese
Communists Is not sufficient to
permit them to engage in an
all-out offensive for many
months. While the United Ma
tions army does not have the
capability to start a large-scale
offensive. it is strong enough to
repel enemy attacks all along
the present lines.
So long as the Manchurian
arsenals were working "a hours
a day. the enemy had a strong
offensive potential. Now the
situation has changed.
There is, of course, the possi-
bility that the Reds might re-
taliate with an air attack
against Pusan, our only logistic
port in South Korea. But, ac-
cording to some intelligence re-
ports. the Reds appear to be
somewhat short of aviation gas
oline. How correct these re-
ports are is difficult to ascertain.
They seem predicated on the
fact that of the 200 MICS
sighted on the raids none rose
to give combat and defend the
hydroelectric plants during the
two days of intensive bombing
by up to 500 planes.
It is possible, OF course, that
the individual in command of
the planes in the Manchurian
sanctuary may not have had

ahead with the organization and
plans for a loyalist convention.
She will have Mrs. Edwards

Mrs. Edwards was out of town
when the national chairman
acted.
The Mississippi boilers have
acted as if the loyalists didn't
exist. Their first aid in WASH
ington has now come from Mr..
Mckinney. Attorney General
Coleman came here in person to
press his claim as the choice Of
the regular State central COM
mittee": he was accompanied to
national headquarters by his
two Senators; Eastland, an un-
regenerate and Truman-hating
Dixiecrat, and Stennis. q for
mer judge who is making an ex-
cellent record as an industrious
and intelligent legislator.
Democrats who charge that
Mr.. Mckinney acted illegally
point to a committee rule that
gives the whole committee the
right to approve members from
the States. In any case no rule
exists to force him to act if he
does not choose to do so. The
moral obligation Of the Truman
administration to stand by Mrs.
Clark is clear.
Chairman McKinney's detrac-
tors assert a belief that he Is
campaigning for his own con-
tinuance in Office, making
friends among the committee
where and as he can. He will be
somewhat dependent on mem
bers outside Indiana since his
own mentor, Frank McHale, was
defeated as national committee
man within a few days after Mr..
Mckinney made him chairman
of the platform committee for
the convention.

Doris FLeeson:
Is Mckinney Playing a Game?
Mississippi Dixecrut of 49, Vootino Commitment
Doris FIeeson:

Within "a hours after Demo-
cratic National Chairman Frank
Mckinney went out of his way
to recognize a 1948 Dixiecrat as
national committeeman from
Mississippi, Mississippi Demo-
Gratis were cheering a State con-
vention keynoter who pro-
claimed:
I'VE walked out in 1948. and
We'll do it again if they put over
on us the Truman civil rights
program like they did before"
Neither the keynoter, Gov.
Hugh White, nor the commit
teeman. Attorney General j. p.
Coleman, have sailed under false
colors. They are DixiecratS and
proud Of it.
What is perplexing about Nc
Kinney's action is that it was
unnecessary, perhaps illegal,
and violates a moral commit
ment by the administration to
loyalist Democrats of Missis-
sippi who hold their own con-
vention July 5. Even so, Demo-
Gratis might be inclined to
shrug it of on the ground that
nobody here can do much about
Mississippi were it not for GER
tain prior actions Of the chair
man.
While President Truman has
been making all-out civil rights
speeches and laying plans to in
fluence the platform in that
direction, his national chairman
has talked and moved in the
direction Of compromise. He
indicated the platform plank
might be adjusted; he helped
select q keynoter and platform
chairman amenable to that
solution.
Hence the question arises:
Is the chairman playing a game
with Senator RusSell's forces,
and If so, is it with or without
the Presidents consent?
The White House pleads ig-
norance on the Presidents part.
But the President knew and
approved in 1948 when the ma
tional committee encouraged
Mississippi loyalists to organize
and name their own candidates
for committeeman and COM
mitteewoman.
The Dixiecrats went ahead
and delivered their State for
Gov. Thurmond. But the ma
tional committee under the
prodding Of the then chairman,
William H. Boyle, and. Mrs. India
Edwards, vice chairman, recog-
nized the loyalistS.

woefully wrong, the Reds have
at least 1900 modern planes in
Manchuria. The speculations
as to why the enemy's planes
did not intervene are almost
endless. But what is important.
insofar as the third phase of
the war in Korea is concerned,
is that unless Moscow's Asiatic
vassals come down to earth and
decide to talk sense about the
cease fire, more similar strikes
and offensive actions will take
place regardless of whether al
lied politicians like them or not.
Deputy Prime Minister An
thony Eden told Commons last
Wednesday-in a milder man
ner-that insofar as military
operations are concerned, nei-
ther Great Britain nor the other
participants in the police &C
ton" need be consulted. This
is a definite departure from the
policy which existed in Korea
while Gems. Douglas MacAr-
thur and Mathew Ridgway were
in command. Heretofore all
military strategic planning and
operations were subject to the
control of the diplomats of the
nations participating in the
Korean campaign.
When the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of staff, Gen. Omar
Bradley, was queried last spring
by a congressional committee
as to why he did not cut off the
electric current from the Muk-
den arSenals by an operation
such as we performed last
Monday and Tuesday. he re-
piled that this question should
be addressed not to the military
in the Pentagon but to the poll
icy makers in the State Depart
ment. According to available
reports Gen. Mark Clark is no
longer under such restrictions.
The forthcoming electoral cam
paign may have something to
do with the decision to let the
military be the best judge as to
what should be done strategical-
ly in Korea.
In order to make the British
governments position easier in
Parliament we accepted Field
Marshal Alexander's suggestion
that a British general be de-
tailed as deputy or assistant
chief of staff to Gen. Clark.
This Is incomparably better
than having politicians take a
hand in making strategic deci-
sions in a shooting war as we
have in Korea. But the London
government knows now that

certainly inexplicable that the
American Secretary of State
should have allowed the infer
ence to be drawn that converse
tions on military details will be
available in the future to the
British government and presum-
ably to it's spokesmen in answer
ing questions of opposition
members in the House of Com
mons.
The hint from Emanuel Shin
well, defense minister in the
Labor government, that Brit
ain was instrumental in bring
ing about the dismissal of Gen.
MacArthur-who, when in COM
mand. favored bombing these
same power stations a year and
a half ago-has resulted in a
White House denial. But it is
nevertheless a fact that the Brit
ish were making frequent rep
resentations protesting against
Gen. MacArthur's military STRAIT
egy.
Former Prime Minister Att
lee told the House of Commons,
too. that he thought the big air
raid a mistake, as it might
lessen the chances of an arm
istice in Korea and lead to a
general confiagration" in the
Far East.
The answer of many members
of Congress is that, If Britain
wants to determine or dictate
military strategy in Korea, she
should send troops in numbers
equal to those Of the United
States. For If the Communist
build-up continues and U. N.
forces are slaughtered in a sud-
den attack. the casualties will be
nine-tenths from the American
battalions.
The latest episode suggests
that perhaps socialist members
of the House of Commons may
some day, if America is called
to the defense of Britain and
Of the European con-
ask that Gen. Ridgway
first tell his military plans each
day to the opposition party in
the House of Commons.

British Helping Out the Enemy
Classified Military Information Revealed RequIory
BY Custom of Free Debate in House of Commons

like that had been given to other
governments on the diplomatic
side in advance, it might have
leaked to the enemy in time to
permit a rival air force to come
out to thwart the attack. May be
that's the purpose of the con-
tfoverSy raised by the left
Wing" in Britain-to make sure
that next time all military in
formation about the intentions
of the U. N. commanders in
Korea is advertised as widely as
possible before they take action
in the field.
A certain amount of consul
tation between allies as to broad
policies is essential to the part
nership which has developed
among the 12 nations furnish
ing troops to fight in Korea. But
Secretary Acheson apologized
because a specific maneuver was
not told to the British in Lon
don before hand. This seems in
comprehensive in view of the
disclosure that the Labor gov
ernment, when it was in power
in Britain, had reached an un-
derstanding with the United
States Government as to the
three contingencies in which
there would be air bombardment
Of the electric power stations.
These, according to a British
foreign Office spokesman, were
either a strong Communist at
tack on U. N. forces, a break
down of the armiStice talks, or
a breach of the armiStice after
its conclusion.
The present situation was GER
tainly a breakdown of the ar
mistice talks, especially since, in
the intervening months while
the talks were going on, the
enemy has built up its air force
for a possible strike. This was,
broadly speaking. enough con-
sultation on the diplomatic side.

tingencies which could arise to
permit bombing Of the Yalu

were specifically covered in the

David Lowrence:

Suppose in the last few days
you were sitting in the high
command in Peiping or Moscow
and you got a dispatch saying
that American planes had made
one Of the biggest air raids of
the Korean war and had put
the electric power stations of
North Korea out of commission.
Your first concern would be
whether this meant the truce
talks had ended and whether
the United Nations was going
to apply its military force to get
a decision instead Of prolonging
the palaver.
But uncertainty as to what the
u. N. meant didn't last long.
The House of Commons debate
conveniently told the enemy all
that it wanted to know. If any
one had crossed into the Com
munist military lines from the
British battalions fighting in
Korea and given the enemy in
formation not to worry about
these attacks, for they were not
after all a unified Allied de-
cision, he would have been guilty
Of treason. But under the pres
ent custom of free parliamentary
debate. classified military infor-
nation Is revealed regularly. It
is considered a routine piece of
business to use the method of an
opposition members query in
the House of Commons to find
out from the British govern
ment just what is going on In q
military way.
This is hardly the way to help
an interallied command func-
ton effectively in the field, but
It turns out that the Secretary
Of State Of the United States,
Dean Acheson, finds it necessary
also to appear before a closed
session Of the House of Com
mons in London and apologize
because the American military

This is tantamount to saying they are

They would rather have a candidate
