It is hard to escape the i'm
preston that he wishes people
wouldn't talk to him about the
Senator from Wisconsin. Nor
are reporters unacquainted
with the brittle temper that
flashed at their colleague who
asked him If he were "un-
happy" about the position
Mutual Security Administrator

fought 1t hard.
It Is McCarthy's round again.
The Senator has no terminal
facilities so it is not the end
of the story.
What was unexpected at the
Eisenhower conference was his
saying he had never heard OF
Gen. Van Fleets contention
that he could have won q vic
tory two years ago in Korea If
permitted. Van Fleet charged
he was stopped by Gen. Ridg-
way, who succeeded Gen.
Eisenhower In Europe last

lied prisoners, and start nego-
tiation of questions to be dis
cussed by the so-called "po-
litical" conference. These in
volve the broad questions of
Korea's future. In return for
having given up the prisoners
and the 'stoppage of fighting,
Soviet Russia will then ask for
admission of Red China into
the United Nations and a re-
opening of East-West trade
in all commodities, including
strategic materials.
The Soviets are doubtless
being advised by Anglo-Saxon
Communists in their midst
that it is unwiSe to try to i'm
pose conditions ahead of time
and that it is better to give up
the prisoners, halt the hostili-
ties, and then be in a position
to get a reopening of trade
and admission of Red China
to the U. N.
It is when the conferences
start on the political" level
that the world will witness a
repetition of some of the in
terminable pickering which has
characterized many confer
ences of foreign ministers held
with Moscow diplomats since
1945. The Russians drive a
hard bargain and, if they can
keep continental Europe from
rearming, they may agree to a
few concessions-possibly even
to discuss the idea of reuniting
East and West Germany.
So the big game has begun,
and it does look as if the
trump card of the Russians
is to stop the Korean fighting
ana then point 10 a Qeed
and ask for further agreements
that will give the Soviet Union
and Red China time to build
up their munitions plants and
their armies and air forces.
Just as many people in the
world believed that Hitler
meant peace at Munich in
1888, so many will believe the
same thing now as Russia
holds forth an olive branch.
But the end result will be the
same-the Kremlin will be a
threat to the peace of the
world until it is crumbled
from within or through exter-
nal pressure exerted through
satellite countries. The talks,
however, will go on among the
top-level diplomats till the
world is finally disillusioned
about the evil men who rule in
Moscow today.

Doris FIeeson:

President Eisenhower signi-
fed promptly at his press
conference that he did not
propose to fight with Senator
Mccarthy about the Greek
ship deal.
The President dressed up his
position with considerable i'm
portant language but 1t was
readily apparent that:
One: He had not himself
read carefully the story Of the
Senator's actions from the be-
ginning Of the controversy.
Two: He took as personal
criticism the effort Of report
ers from Capitol Hill to spell
out the issue for him.
Three: He Is apt to lose his
temper at whatever he con-
strues as such criticism, ex-
press or implied.
Nobody was very much sur
priSed by any Of this. The
Dulles-McC Carthy truce clearly
foreshadowed the White House
policy. Reporters know, too.
that the President does not
read the newspapers carefully
but Il br1efed on their con-
tents. He can present an
issue well on which he has
taken the trouble to gain spe-
etal knowledge.

charges, and then are caught
out of our own mouths.
We have been accused OF

deny it. But the former Gov

charges, brags, indeed, that he
had put up money to finance
a successful deal involving the
theft Of airplane secrets
ergo, that he had INDUCED in
conspiracy and espionage.
Why? To make a headline.
The passion for publicity. re-
gardless of consequences, is il
lustrated in Stanton Griffis'
breezy memoir, Lying in
State"
Mr.. Griffis was United States
Ambassador to Poland when
Stanislaw Mikolajcz leader
Of the Peasant Party, hated
by the Communists and
doomed to liquidation, escaped
to the West with American
assistance, creating IAN ex-
tremely ticklish diplomatic
situation"
Mikolajczyk'S secretary, hav-
ing been arrested, exposed the
plot. Griffis. being confronted
with the confession, reports
that he called the charge of
American completely "the last
insult of the many heaped on
the American Embassy since
my arrival" He then explains
that it was necessary to aid
Mikolajczyk because ''he was
our man."
To Russian ears that can
only mean that Mikolajczyk
was an American agent.
He was not. The leader of
the Peasant Party returned to

stumbling block in the way Of
the Red aims for world domi-
nation. The policies of the past
American Government to ap-
pease our European allies
instead of leading them ended
with the change Of administra-
tion in Washington. The COM
petent Soviet intelligence serv-
ices in the United States un-
questionably have reported a
more militant frame of mind
in this country today.
Marshal zhukov. who knows
President Eisenhower better
than any living Russian. may
have warned that while the
allies of the United States may
be soft, America will be hard to
crack, particularly since the
administration, backed by an
awakened public. is determined
to 60 ahead with a large re-
armament program. The pres.
ent Red peace offensive is di-
rected principally toward lull-
ing America into a feeling Of
security.
While the Joint Chiefs Of
Staff in the Pentagon have not
expressed their views publicly,
they are known to froWn on
the Kremlins new policy Of
sweetness and light. Gen. Mat
thew Ridgway at SHAPE has
felt duty bound to warn the
free nations against possible
BOBBY traps in the Red poll
cies. Gen. Alfred Gruenther.
his chief of staff who testified
in executive session before the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee on Wednesday. did the
same.
President Eisenhower, who
is willing to call a four-power
conference. or at least to at
tend such a gathering, is
equally skeptical about the
ultimate motives of our en-
emies. The Moscow-Peiping
axis will have to go a very long
way and produce real proof
that it means what it says be-
fore our Government can be
convinced that its utterances
are worth serious considera-
ton.

which placed the banner Of
leadership of the free nations
firmly in our hands. for we
took the leadership then un-
der fire, so to speak. and gave
Russia her first real jolt. It
is up to us now to keep that
leadership and to keep up the
morale of the free nations that
we encouraged and organized.
Russia obviously is gambling
that peace would produce a
letdoWn among our European
allies. 1t could unless we are
very alert. It could have q
paralyzing effect in Europe If
we drop our guard at all.
It is conceivable that our
defense program may be modi-
fled in time if a solid, stable
world situation should develop.
That, itself, then would bring
a second big test for us, which
is to maintain a sound econ
omy without the big prop Of
defense spending. How much
of a test that would become
for us can be seen plainly II
we just remember that we
never did really solve our en-
ployment problem resulting
from the great depression that
began in 1929 and ran nearly
through the 1930s. The Sec
ond World War solved that.
There were still several mil
lions unemployed when our
defense program was initiated
in 1899.
This will be q test for our
free system, for II we can't
have a prosperous economy
except with war, then we are
in a bad way. A solution may
require boldness and inven-
tiveneSs.
In our immediate reaction to
peace, If it comes, and in this
future test Of our free system,
which will come with a real
and durable peace. we are
gambling as a Nation against
the pessimism of Wall Street.
This time we've got to prove
Wall Street wrong.

Poland to participate IN

Russian-sponsored Lublin gov
ernment, as specifically pro-
vided for in the Yalta agree
ment, signed by the U. s. s. r.
It was the duty Of the Polish
government to protect him
under the terms of the agree
ment. The United States never
vigorously invoked this. In the
Griffis m e m Or the grave
breach of agreement is buried
under an entertaining cops
and robbers story.
Now, in the present U. N. de-
bate, the Mikolajczyk case Is
again aired by the Polish del
egate, and the former Ameri-
can Ambassador is their wit
ness.
He is witness also to an
other charge. In describing
an interview with the Pope.
he writes. "His Holiness knew
of my friendship for the
Vatican in Poland, where I
occasionally acted as secret
messenger and mailman for
the letters to the Holy See
from high Catholic dignitaries
fighting for their very
lives. :"
These dignitaries are still
fighting for their lives, with
both themselves and the Vati-
can embroiled by the loqua-
cious former American Ambas-
Sador.
Americans, it seems, simply
cannot keep their mouths
shut.
Senator Flanders is correct.
Day after day, out of frivolity,
personal self-Seeking, or lack
of elementary self-discipline,
Americans are waging psyche
logical warfare against Amer
lea.

Court Told 10 Weiqh
Landa's Testimony

The U. S. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia yester-
day instructed the United States
Tax Court to consider giving
weight; to, oral testimony in a
case in which such testimony
was in conflict with written
documents.
The case involved Alfons B.
Landa. an attorney of 6 Kalo-
rama circle and his socially
prominent former wife, now Mrs.
Harry M. AStin of 1905 Con-
necticut avenue NV.
The written agreements de-
scribed certain 5000 monthly
payments made by Mr.. Landa
to his former wife as payments
on a debt owed by Mr.. Landa.
Under the tax laws, only the
interest on such payments could
be deducted by Mr.. Landa in
compiling his returns.
But Mr.. Landa, in oral testi-
mony, said the payments were
made as alimony and hence de-
ductable by him and taxable to
Mrs. Astin.
The Tax Court held that the
payments represented indebted
ness. In it's opinion, that court
declared it preferred to rely on
the contents Of the written
document, rather than give any
weight as evidence to the oral
testimony contradicting it.
The appellate court. in re-
manding the case. asserted ". +. :.

formal written documents are
not rigidly binding. !" 1t in
structed the Tax Court to give
some consideration to the oral
testimony.
