the radiant promises of Hfe'S beginning

exploded in anger because the prophet

The primary lesson of a victorious
life is the glory Of the ordinary. The
fabric of things consists of common
tasks and trivial rounds. There is
suggestive sentence in the Old Testa-
ment: when they were awake they
saw His glory" No one is really awake
until he is conscious of the glory of the
usual. The beauty of life must be
sketched upon the pavement OF dull
duties. If we use the daily trail just
as a path to bring us to the ideal, the
complete, the supernal, the goal will
ever elude us, like mirageS of the desert.
But if we sink to the pavement on our
knees and create flowers on the very
stones we tread, that is life's highest
secret and reward.
It is when we find life's satisfactions
in it's simplicities, its necessities, its
monotonies, it's drudgeries. that the
everyday stepping stones burst into
beauty. The experiences which are
life's durable satisfactions do not. as

It does so by spelling out definitely the

in his relationships with these superiors,

It would have been unthinkable to
Eisenhower as President to fail to carry
out the expressed intent Of Congress as
did his predecessor. for example, in neg

and in seizing the steel mills, for which
no legal authority existed.

The range of the exhibition includes five CEN

richest material offered is that of the great
craftsmen, beginning with Clouet senior and
coming up to Ingres.
France always has been fortunate in her
artists She not only has produced men who
could see accurately and catch what they saw
with pencil and brush. Her luck Is apparent also
in the excellence Of their judgment, their taste,
their choice of what was worthy of their skill

Van Fleet on Our Allies

In This Week Magazine of today's Star
General Van Fleet presents the fullest and most
authoritative commentary yet published on how
our allies in Korea are sharing the burden of
the struggle against Communist aggression. In
effect, what he has to say adds up to glowing
tribute to those allies, and 1t serves at the same
time to correct the still widespread impression
that our American forces have been doing prac-
tically 80 per cent of all the ground fighting
over there.
Writing in his capacity as commander of
the United States 9th Army In Korea, General
Van Fleet makes clear that the impression is
wholly out of line with TIE real facts of the
situation. Thus, referring to the present period,
he reveals that the battle front-155 miles long
Is held as follows Sixty per cent by troops of
the Republic of Korea (the ROKs), is per cent
by units of United Nations allies from Greece,
Turkey Britain, France and several other coun-
tries and the balance-25 per cent-by our
American forces Further, no fewer than 25O0
South Koreans are integrated into each United
States division.
What these figures mean, as General Van
Fleet says is that 1--WE have no corner on man.
power, courage or sacrifice in Korea" Actually,
without the help of our allies, his 9Th Army
according to his own estimate, would need 10
additional United States divisions merely to be

for casualties, the ROK forces have taken, and
are still taking, the bulk of them. Our American
losses, tragically heavy as they have been have
been considerably less than those of the South
Koreans and they would have been more than
doubled, in General Van Fleets opinion, "if we
had tried to do the job alone-if that were
possible"
Although he speaks highly of all the allied
U. NJ units In the war, General Van Fleet
addresses his warmest praise to the South
Koreans. Man for man, he says, they are as
good as our American soldiers in the present
type of relatively static defensive fighting, and
in some respects-such as personal camoufage,
mountain climbing night patroling and indl-
tration-they are better. In fact they have
made such excellent military progress, that their
army today, though not perfect, is "the largest,
most loyal most modern anti-Communist army
of any Asiatic nation"
Wholly apart from the South Koreans inte-
grated into our American forces this army-the
ROK Army-is made up of 10 effective divisions
with very formidable firepower and General Van
Fleet asserts that4it can be increased by many
more" divisions of an equally high quality. This
is the same point he made in the now-famous
letter that General Eisenhower used in the
presidential campaign No matter how con-
troversial, it is an important point, and more
is likely to be heard of it after the new admin
istration takes over on January 20.

New Leadership and New Role

coincidence of events has brought the
American labor movement to the threshold OF
. new era in its history.
The death of President William Green of
the American Federation of Labor, following by
less than two weeks that of President Philip
Murray of the Congress of Industrial Organiza-
uonS, means that new leadership will soon take
over the two dominant organizations. Apart
from their primary concerns OF maintenance OF
membership and collective bargaining they will
be facing the same problem of dealing with
new political administration and finding their
future role in the national economy. In formal
sense, labor made unusual commitments in the
recent election campaign by lining up almost
Solidly for the Democratic ticket-although the
rank and file of the membership obviously did
not follow these commitments uniformly.
Facing mutual problem and with COM
parable strategic advantages and disadvantages,
the two big organizations may find themselves
drawing closer together in their approach. This
does not necessarily mean that merger is
close at hand There are fundamental differ
ences between the PHILOSOPHERS of the individual
leaders in the AFL and the CIO, and there are
even more selfish reasons for maintaining inde-
pendence from each other. The course eventually
chosen in this regard may be dictated more by
forces outside the labor movement-prosperity,
depression, or political reaction-than by de-
Nberate decision of the two leaderships.
Actually, although Mr. Green had resigned
from his own union, the United Mine Workers,
to carry on his presidency of the AFL when the
labor movement was split in the late 1930s,
he had been essentially moderate and concilia-
tory in his attitude toward the rupture. These
qualities, in fact, were reflected in his entire
career and gave to him a standing of dignity
and respect both within the labor movement
and in its role in national life.
Both Mr. Green and Mr. Murray started
their adult lives as coal miners. Each directed
his respective labor organization to its greatest
mower and influence. Their successors viii have
important responsibilities to the millions Of the

Spires of the Spirit
Epics in Pebbles

He was an elderly. shabbi1y dressed
man. His care-lined face carried the
deep record of life's struggles and buf-
fetings. Seemingly oblivious to the feet
that tramped past, he was on his knees
bending over drab London sidewalk.
He was pathetic figure. Only few OF
that hurrying throng even paused te
notice what this lone bit of humanity
was doing. Whatever it was, his only
implements were a few pieces of white
and colored chalk. lying on the side

gers. They were the meager tools of his

side worn paving stones under the heed

hands and the chalk was fashioned a.
cornucopia, from which he poured en-
trancing visions Of loveliness on the
prosaic sidewalk of the city street.
Here was an anonymous artist doing
something thrilling with the common
place. On the busy thoroughfare he was
etching fascinating vistas of picturesque
rural cottages with red roses framing
arched doorways, and English gardens
gay with rioting array Of color. That
man in all probability never had heard
of Charles Kingsley. whose feet years
ago had trodden that same stretch Of
pavement. But he was illustrating the.
truth peering like shy. spring arbutus
from under winters wrinkled leaves.
which that poet prophet mirrors in his
phrase: "Epics in the pebbles under

suggest a parable Of the common days.
For the vast majority of those who
tread its thorny pathway life does not
lead to the pageantry longed for and
the glory once foreseen. Life does not
consist of the golden hours of which we
once dreamed with such assurance.
