Constantine Brown:
G|s in Korea Suffer From Nerves
Ground Troops Are More interested in Their Own Plight
Than in What Happens in the Forthcoming Elections

To tens of millions Of Amer
leans the gigantic political pre-
convention battle among Repub-
licanS is of paramount impor-
tance. They do not want to make
another mistake at the Chicago
convention in July. The former
king makers" realize that the
old methods of nomination by
interested groups are obsolete.
Now they are trying to discern
from the various preferential
contests how many ballots have
been cast by emotional impulse
! ard how many by logic. The
speeches of Gen. Eisenhower,
after he returns to this coun-
try, will give the delegates their
real yardstick for their deci-
Sions at balloting time.
But while the country's in
terest is centered on the nomi-
nation Of the next President,
the men in Korea feel once
more that they are being for
gotten. They show little interest,
according to communications
received in Washington recent
ly, in the political struggle at
home. They want to know when
and how the present mess will
be settled.
More than 80 per cent Of the
GIS have no combat experience.
The rotation system has de-
pleted our ranks of battle-ex-
perienced men. The newcomers
are supposed to have received
sufficient training at home and
the present lull is being used by
Gen. James Van Fleet to COM
plete this training. But officers
recently back from the front say
there is a world of difference
between battle training and
actual combat experience. There
are tricks of the trade" which
cannot be learned except by
meeting the enemy in combat.
The nearly 10 months of armi-
stice negotiations have not been
easy on the nerves of the GIs,
who cannot understand the rea-
sons for these protracted palav-
ers. They have been told at
home and after they reached the
front lines that the enemy has

Congress and the Steel Strike
District Courts Decision on Seizure Does Not Rule Out

strike against the Government.
Meantime the President is
renewing his suggestion that
Congress furnish specific au-
thorization. His case in simple
outline seems to be:
The workers are entitled to a
contract with the steel COM
panies. Their contract expired
January /. Negotiations carried
on over a long period prior to
that date had failed to obtain
new one. They thereupon an
nounced their purpose to strike.
The President could have in
voked the provisions of the Taft
Hartley Act. which would have
compelled the workers to hold
off their strike for 80 days, the
so-called cooling off period. This
cooling-off period, however,
would not have begun until after
a fact-f1nding board had been
selected, had studied the merits
OF the dispute and made it's
report. This, it is agreed, would
have taken at least ten days,
possibly much longer. During
that time the strike could have
proceeded, with the mills idle.
Ten days Of idleness in the
steel mills represented dis
aster. The President therefore
persuaded the companies and
the workers to submit the wage
dispute to the Wage Stabiliza-

1000 miles across the Pacific.
The first pages of the publica-
tions are filled with politics,
scandals, disputes over wages
and profits, and crippling
strikes. It is disheartening to
fighting men to have to look
through many pages before
they can discover a few lines
about what is going on in
Korea.
Some have complained that
they cannot even find a comic
strip dealing with the life of the
men who have been sent out 20
months ago to fight a police &C
ton which so far has cost US
1900 deaths . in combat. IF
ever we have fought war Of
attrition," a noncom recently
wrote to this reporter, "this is
it. There is more logic in a guy
being killed in an automobile
accident at home when speed
ing while drunk, than being
killed cold sober in foxhole in
this Godforsaken land in a war
which is not called a war and

truce"

been defeated and the lull is
due to his desire to put an end
to the war which has cost him
a million and a half casualties.
None of our soldiers questions
these figures. But at the same
time, in the few engagements
with the enemy, our men have
not been able to detect either
laSSitude or unwillingness to
fight on the part of the Com
munistS: Our men ask: If it is
true that the Reds have been
compelled to accept these cease
fire discussions. why do they in
Sist on their right to build them
selves airf1elds? The trick of
calling them commercial air
fields fools nobody at the front
line. Commercial airlines are
unknown and unnecessary in
North Korea at present.
The prospect of American
forces remaining for some in
definite time in an utterly
devastated country is not cheer
ing to our ground troops. They
know they must expect a
scorching heat in the coming
summer. and the possibility of
spending at least part of a sub
zero winter in that desolate
country fills them with misgiv-
ings.
The concept of the average

home or in talks with those who
have returned from Korea-iS
that either we start fighting
again as soon as possible and
punish the enemy until he asks
for mercy, or we had better call
it quits and get out.
This does not mean that the
morale Of our forces is dented.
But, as with all other virile
armies in history, the lull and
uncertainty of what tomorrow
may bring are rendering our
men more impatient than usual.
The soldiers. sailors and air.

but also newspapers and maga-
zines from home. In reading
these, they detect a total lack

Congress Itself learns Lesson
Judge Pines Ruling Has Averted Serious Depression
If Not q Monetary Catastrophe in nndustrioI World
David Lowrence:

The long-range economic ef-
fectS of Judge Pines historic
ruling are of such transcendent
Importance that it may readily
be said that his action has
really averted for the United
States a serious depression, if
not a monetary catastrophe.
For what this Federal judge
now known nationally but known
always in Washington as a man
of high character and ability
has decided is that private
property in America is safe
against confiscation. The great
industrial power of the Nation
is not to be weakened any longer
by sword of Damocles hanging
over its head.
The last few weeks have
been critical to America. Busi-
ness and industrial leaders
have looked askance at the
sudden seizure-withou war
rant of law-of the properties
of the steel companies. They
have wondered if they could
continue with expansion plans.
Indeed, one company in the
steel business Cancelled about
$45 million of construction for
expanded plant because of the
uncertainty surrounding gov
ernmental power to confiscate
at will. In other industries grave
apprehension and discourage
ment were pronounced.
The American economic sys-
tenn has been under attack by
so-called liberals" ever since
the New Deal and Fair Deal
spokesmen, inside and outside
of Government, spread the doc
trine that under the guise of
the general welfare" or under
the claim of emergency powers
almost anything could be doue
by the President of the United
States through issuance of an
executive order. or by the Con-
gress in passing a law taking
away the rights of the people.
Gradually there has been an
encroachment, drst by the DEM
