Constantine Brown:
Propaganda Picnic for the Reds
Americans Forced to Listen to Communist Bob Nearly Year
At Ponmunjom Farley Orders of u. N Headquarters

A Casper Milquetoast attitude
never pays dividends whether
individuals or nations are con-
cerned.
And this obviously is our
present attitude in the Korean
war. We were led by the enemy
into protracted armiStice nego-
tiations which have lasted for
the unprecedented time of nearly
a year. We are willing to yield
to almost any enemy request ex-
cept the surrender of those
prisoners of war who do not
want to return to their Com
muniSt masters. This is q mat
ter Of humanity and a moral
issue on which our negotiators
will not compromise.
But the peace talks at Pam
munjom are concerned no long
er with any conciliation of diff
ferenceS between the two par
ties; they are q pure "propa-
ganda picnic" on the part of
Red representatives. They in
Sist on meeting every day to
harangue the United Nations.
Delegates have to listen for half
an hour or SO to the vitupera-
tionS and accusations of Gen.
Nam II. These are then broad
cast all over the world in an
effort to prove the daStardli-
ness Of the American capitalists.
Normally the head of the
American delegation would turn
to his Red opposite number and
tell him what would amount to
go to blazeS; that the delegates
OF the United Nations were at
Panmunjom to discuss much
delayed ceaSe-fire and not to
hear communistic harangues.
But under strict instructions
from United Nations head
quarters and from Washington
the delegates have been eau
toned to do nothing which could
be interpreted as placing the
blame on us for the already
existing breakdown of the mill
tary pourparlers.

In the Diesel shed at the IVY

huge locomotives was decked with
red, white and blue bunting. as

There wasn't a locomotive in

Union Station site. He got $40 a

The event that stands out in
his memory is the Terra Gotta

which occurred near the brick

Recently private information
has been received in Washing
ton from men at the front to
the effect that they have been
given much second hand"
equipment such as rebuilt tanks,
planes and guns and old Army
trucks which broke down be-
cause of their age. Whether this
was the usual grippe which is
natural to American GIs when
they are idle at the front or
whether it is factual will be
learned when the matter is
gone into more carefully. But
what is certain is that the men
at the front are not happy
about the protracted negotia-
tions at Panmunjom.
The truce delays are another
form of war of nerves. The Reds
hope that this will eventually
pay dividends. Moscow believes
in the Arab saying that haste
comes from the devil. Moscow
Is in no hurry. It has been
carrying on a war of nerves for
the last six years.
The shooting war in Korea
was obviously a mistake. When
the Kremlin realized last June
that it's satellites in Korea were
faced with defeat it changed
the tune and suggested" an
armistice to be followed by ne
gotiations for a "just peace"
1t knew that the mere men,
tion of the word lust" would
appeal to the Western nations
and particularly to Americans.
Nobody questioned the good
faith of the Reds although they
had given ample reason for
skepticism. Almost every mill
tary man in Korea realized
after four weeks of talks that
the so-called cease-f1re nego-
tiations were nothing but a
sham, but we did not dare
break off although early last
summer we still had a definite
superiority over the enemy.
Now we are waiting for the
enemy to call the turn.

House Group Approves
0Id-Age Benefits Boost
BY the Associoted Press

The House Ways and Means
Committee yesterday approved an
increase of at least $5 a month for
persons now drawing benefits
under the Social Security Old Age
and Survivors Insurance system,
and up to S. month for persons
who retire in the future.
Dependents would receive pro-
portional increases in benefits.
The total added cost of the
liberalized plan was estimated at
$500 million a year, but Com
mittee Chairman Doughton, au-
thor Of the measure, said the
increases could be paid without
increasing payroll taxes.
The measure, approved by the
committee after two brief closed
sessions and no public hearings,
is to be called up in the House
Monday.

ice Refuses Rate Cut
To Railway Express
BY the Associated Press

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission yesterday refused to order
o cut in Railway Express Agency
charges in the light Of q recent
reduction in the wages Of its en-
ployes.
The suggestion for a cut was
made two weeks ago by the
Georgia Public Service Commits
sion, through its chairman, Matt
l.. McWhorter.
Mr.. McWhorter wrote the ICC
that inasmuch as the last express
rate increase was based on wage
increases under an eScalator
clause in the working contract
the formula should operate sin
both directions" to drop the rates
when wages went down.
The letter called the commits
sion's attention to the fact that
Railway Express Agency wages
were reduced l cent an hour on
April l, 1852.
The company was permitted
last February to put a special sur
charge Of 6 cents on every less

The Communists know the
U. N. attitude, and whenever
Admiral Joy or some other Allied
representative shows signs of
impatience Gen. Nam II says
threateningly: do you want to
break off the negotiations?" And
our military men, who have
adopted a timid attitude follow
ing strict instructions from their
higher-ups in Washington and
New York. sit tight and are
forced to listen patiently to the
Communist blab. We cannot
afford, the diplomats say, to
appear in the eyes of the world
as warmongers and the culprits
in disruption Of the peace talks.
How long this state of affairs
will continue nobody but the
men in Moscow and Peiping can
tell. But it probably will last
until the Reds decide to make
their next major move. While
these talks are being prolonged
the Communist forces are gain
ing strength in the air and in
firepower. The top Allied mill
tary men seem to think some-
thing might break in June.
The Chinese have summoned
a conference of all Asiatic ma
tionS for peace in Asia" at the
end OF this month. Decisions on
what to do next may be taken
then. But in the meantime.
while the Chinese Reds are get
ting stronger. our own military
position is not improving.
Earlier this month the Army,s
chief of staff, Gen. j. Lawton
Collins, warned Congress that
we were short of arms in Korea
and that ammunition had to be
rationed. This was soon denied
by the commanders in the field
who stated they were short of
nothing. They explained the
contradiction by the fact there
have been some local shortages
at the front but the war ma
terial was always somewhere in
the rear.

Government Approves
Cadillac Price Cuts
BY the Associated Press

The Government yesterday ap-
proved basic retail price cuts rang
ing from 1868 to $65.93 for the
General Motors line of Cadillac
automobiles.
The Office Of Price Sterilization
said General Motors is passing on
to buyers the amount of a whole
sale reduction of $31.12, plds the
amount of the dealer markups.
Part of the reduction is due to
an inadvertant error in calculating
material costs for Cadillacs. The
balance is due to a reduction in
the amount of steel used in pro-
ducing these cars.
OPS said the new Cadillac retail
ceilings at the factory range from
$2.858 for a 61-series sport coupe
to $3.50 for a 75-series seven
passenger Imperial sedan.

that even a Doctor Goebbels
might envy" he said. 1t seems
to have had some success
in confusing a lot Of people
about the facts.
why did the steel companies
embark on this calculated cam
paign of confusing the public?
For one very good reason. They
had no real case on the basis of
the economic facts.
The truth of the matter is
this. The steel companies can
grant the adjustments in pay
recommended by the Wage Sta
bilization Board, without any
financial hardship to themselves
and without violating existing
StabiliZation policy. But instead
OF putting the recommendations
into effect, or even bargaining
on them-and there is room
there for honest bargaining
the companies have been using
them as a lever to try to pry
higher steel prices out of the
consuming public and the de-
tense agencies of your Govern
ment. In summary the issue
is whether the companies can
hand the consumer and the
taxpayer a bigger bill for steel
and lay the responsibility on
the doorstep of the steelworkers'
right to a wage increase.
THE industry has hundreds
of millions of dollars at stake in
the battle. The public has bill
