meditely ahead, for the President
has sent up four treaties and an

heard Of anything unde. way to raise
Gen. Ridgway's military magnitude.
At SHAPE headquarters today
Gen. Ridgway would be outranked by
Britain's Field Marshall Lord Mont
gomery and by French Gen Alphonse
JUN, ground force commander of the
NATO armies in Western Europe.
The promotion of Gen. Ridgway
to Europe involves another unusual
situation regarding rank The gen.
eral who succeeds him is superior in
rank. And the Asian post has been
reduced in Importance, stripped of
one of its handles by the Japanese
peace treaty.
Three Hats for Clark

commanding general, United States
Army, Far East. The supreme COM
membership of the Allied Powers,
which Gen. Ridgway gave up when
the japanese peace treaty went into
effect last Monday. will be a position
of history when Gen. Clark reaches
Japan some time before June /.
Gen. Clark recently was center Of
controversy when Mr.. Truman noml-

over the years. in and out Of combat.
It has been so with the Chiefs of
Staff over the years. Gen. Marshall
was favored by Gen. PerShing, for
instance. Macarthur men went in
when that general held the high
Office.
Gen. Bradley had had close contact
originally with Gen. Ridgway in Eu-
ropean combat. Gen. Eisenhower
had been in closer touch with Gen.
Gruenther, the Pentagon planner,
especially in the last 16 months in
Europe.
There was one other precedent
which weighed against Gen. Gruen-
theirs selection. 1t is the usual GUS
tom to 60 outside a command to
select new top commander. Assist
ant division commanders seldom be-
come commanders of the same divi-
sion, for instance.
Thus, Army tradition was against
Gen. Gruenther moving up from
Chief of Staff, the No. 2 spot in Paris,
even though he might be strongly
favored abroad.
Rank Problem

appointment is that ne will be out

choice of Gen. Eisenhower's successor.
The talk in favor OF Gen. Ridgway
appeared based on two primary fac
tors: A brilliant record in World
War II as a field commander, and
the experience gained since he be-
came commander last summer of
U. N. forces fighting the Communists
in Korea.
Gen. Ridgway, it was said, had
taken the defeated" 9th Army in
Korea and fashioned it into today's
top fighting organization. He should
be rewarded not only for that, his
advocates averred, but also for q
masterful job in Japan.
Against this was balanced Gen.
Gruenther's reputation as a strategy
planner and adroit negotiator in
intricate European situations. A far
sighted strategist, he has been called
the brains of the Army"
But Gen. Gruenther's prospects of
succeeding to the European command
were handicapped by the fact he has
never held a major field command.
1t should be noted, however, that
it is almost certain that he some day
will become Army Chief of Staff.
TroditionoI Fovoritism
To one uninitiated in things mill
tary, this jockeying among the high
brass may seem strange. But to old
timers it came as no surprise. 1t is

UsuoIP onJockeying Preceded RidgwoyC Choice

A unique contest was settled by
President Truman this week. In
effect, it involved two five-star gen.
erals who were backing two four
star generals.
Mr.. Truman, by selecting Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway as supreme
Allied commander, Europe, backed
his old five-star friend. military ad-
wiser and fellow Missourian. Gen.
Bradley. 1t was no secret that the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
favored the Far East commander for
the post.
But there was equally strong sup
port for Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther.
Another five-star general, Dwight D.
Eisenhower, favored this man as his
successor come June /. Gen. Gruen-
ther had been Ike's chief of staff in
NATO. And Eisenhower drew power
full newspaper editorial support to
his favorite.
NATO Likes Gruenther
Significantly, an informal Associ-
ated Press poll of representatives Of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton nations showed an overwhelming
preference for Gen. Gruenther. Just
before the presidential announce
ment, word came out Of Paris that
NATO would accept Gen. Ridgway on
condition that Gen. Gruenther re-
main as his chief of staff.
Certain sections of the Pentagon
took on the air of rival campaign
headquarters. The President-by de-
laying-appeared to hesitate on his

Stassen got Ks. That's no way to
treat even an adopted native son.
In the 1948 primaries Mr.. StasSen
did better. He defeated Gen. Mac
Arthur in Wisconsin and Gov. Dewey
in Nebraska. He even took nine dele
gates away from Senator Taft in
Ohio. Then came his big mistake.
He challenged Gov. Dewey to a
debate in Oregon on his proposal to
outlaw the Communist Party. Dewey
won the debate and the delegates.
On the first convention ballot,
StasSen had 157 votes to 434 for
Dewey and 224 for Taft. On the
second ballot he lost eight of them.
The third ballot was unanimous for
Dewey.
Hero in Defect
Mr.. Stassen, something of hero
in defeat, went to the rostrum him.
self to release his delegates. Big.
confident, smiling, he impressed OBJ
servers as man to be reckoned
with in 1852.
The presidency of great univer-
sity was an ideal job for man who
must make living, yet keep in the
public eye between campaigns. Mr..
StaSSen made the most of it, but
somehow his publicity began to back
fire. What many of his friends took

in headlines led him into making

he ta ho
a reputation as an Ivy League Nc
Carthy. His coyness about his inten-
tionS antagoniZed many politicians
who could have helped him.
Another Go at 1t
Late last year, however, he plunged
in again. Taft hackers have charged
bitterly that this time. from the be-
ginning. he was merely a stalking
horse for Gen. Eisenhower. But
StaSSen has been after the presidency
too long to be for any one but
Stassen. as long as there was q
chance that he might win.
For the record, Mr.. Stassen is still
in the race. He may even take
few delegates from Senator Taft
in the Ohio primary Tuesday. But
if he does, it presumably will be
more because of votes against Taft
than because of real belief in Stas-
sens chances.
Warren Stronger
From here on in. he will be work.
ing for Eisenhower. It does not
seem likely that he will carry enough
weight at the convention to get even
the vice presidency. Gov. Warren
of California, who hasn't antagon-
lied any of his rivals unnecessarily,
will be in far stronger position.
Against man of Gen. Eisenhower'S
stature, MIR. Stassen probably never
had a chance. But other factors
contributed to his failure. He hit his
peak as representative of youthful
Republicans with reasonably lib
eral point of view. His subsequent
efforts to be all things to all men
seem to have cost him much of that
support.
- And then, too. there was all that
publicity. In the final analysis. Mr..
Stassens political epitaph may read
something like this: In a year when
voters were looking for new faces.
his face was entirely too familiar.
