TAKES POST IN AIR SHOW
CLARK AFB :. The United
States and Philippine Air Forces
assisted by a flock of amateur
flyers put on an impressive air
show to a more than 5000 sky
gazers at the Manila international

also entered the news when he
took Henry r. Luce, publisher of
Life, Time and Fortune magazenes
for the latter's first Jet aircraft
ride during his recent visit To the
Philippines. The we'll known pub
Usher stated after his ride in the
U. S. Air Force T-33 that at
was a thrill and should have done
this a long time ago.
Leading airlines had a row of
big overseas aircraft open for
public inspection of which Major
McGee's plane was included. Later
Major MCGEE and the other USAF
pilots went through some military
maneuvers, thrilling the crowd
with fifteen minutes Of precision
flying. Observers however, only
saw fleeing glimpses of the plus
400 mile per hour jets. The planes
buzZed the Manila international
Airport few more times before
they were recalled due to closing
weather at the home base.

FIRE DAMAGES HENDRICKS

SHOP
Hendricks Auto Body Repair
Shop, 6O2 Z. Vine ST., was dam
aged considerably by fire which
started at III pm. Tuesday.
The frame portion of the build
ing virtually was destroyed and
one of several cars in the shop
was extensively damaged. Less ex
tensive damage was experienced
in the newer wing of the shop
which is of concrete block con-
struction.
Oscar Trunnell, an employee, re-
ceived leg burns when a stove ex-
ploded starting fire. He was
taken to Burnham City Hospital
by Fire Chief August Schalk for
first aid treatment.
Peculiar atmospheric conditions
existing at the time of the fire
handicapped firemen. The dense
smoke mixed with the fog and
hung lowly over the area.
Chief Schalk said he had to
park his car half block away
and feel his way thruthe smoke
and fog to the scene of the fire.
Hendricks building was insured
and he plans to rebuild the dam
aged portion as soon as possible.

French Pose Difficult Problem
They Ask $l00 Million Extra MSA Funds; Would 1t Help
Creote the Gernnon Army We Won't for NATO2
Constantine Brown:

The political life Of M. Rene
Mayer and his colleagues de-
pends on what promises they
are taking back to the French
National Assembly from Presi-
dent Eisenhower.
There is no doubt that there
has been a meeting Of minds
between the French premier,
his Foreign Secretary Georges
Bidault and Gen. Eisenhower
and Secretary of State Dulles
about the need for close Amer
ican-French cooperation in
Indo-C China and in Southeast
Asia.
We and the French have
realized for some time that the
objectiveS of the Muscovites
are not confined to Indo-C China
alone, but also affect Thailand,
Burma and eventually will in
clude IndoneSia and India it
self.
There still are differences
Of concept" between France
and this country regarding the
question Of German military
participation in the NATO de-
fenSe Setup. We don't particu-
larly care whether it is done
through the European Defense
Community system-originally
a French plan which the Ma
tional Assembly no longer likes
or through some other
means. We are interested only
in bolstering the NATO forces
by the addition of some IL
German divisions at the earli-
est possible moment.
At the same time, however,
the administration cannot ac-
cept the French thesis, re-
portedly propounded by M.
Mayer, that the question Of the
Saar must be settled formally
in Frances favor before the
French parliament can even
think Of giving the green light
for rearmament Of the Ger
mans.
The main worry Of the
French premier and his col
leagues is Americas financial
assistance in the next fiscal
year. In this it is doubtful that
Gen. Eisenhower could have
promised more than to use his
good offices to get the econ
omy-minded 83d Congress to

The General Has osted Battle
Eisenhower Learned What the Score Is the Bohen rocos
And Defeated the First Cho!enqe to His Leadership

When the smoke cleared
away from President EiSen-

fracas in the Senate over the
nomination of Charles E.
Bohlen as Ambassador to Rus
Sia-there was revealed for
the general in the White House

must maneuver henceforth.
It was, first and foremost, a
battle within the Republican

flrmation and against the
President.

Maybe when they have
finished q study Of the Senate
hearings Of May. 1851. at which
the joint chiefs testified, and
the Van Fleet hearings Of O
few weeks ago, they will dis
cover the simple truth-that
there Is no command setup in
Washington adequate to carry
on q war in which more than
350.000 Americans are engaged,
more than two million men are
participating as a whole, and
in which the American cas-
ualtieS alone thus far are in
excess of 10000.
History will say the least the
Government at Washington
could have done in these last
three years was to give the
Korean war a special war staff
with direct access to the Presi-
dent of the United States.
There are at least seven gen.
erals, four high-ranking Air
Force commanders, and seven

be instructed to work directly

The Eisenhower administra-
ton does not mind admitting
that it proposes to take q pos.
tive position with respect to
the Soviet Union whenever it
feels justified in doing so. Its
Spokesmen will even say that
they are trying to think of pos
tive steps on their own to end
the cold war and seize the ini-
tiative on foreign policy from
the Russians.
They. do want to emphasize
that this does not mean they
have let go of any of their
salutary suspicious of the Com
munists. One of the architects
of the new policy put it this
way
Eyes, we are exploring any
avenue that opens up toward
peace, including present Rus
sian gestures. But remember,
we aren't shutting down a
single gun factory for a single
day, we haven't torn up one
blueprint for one airplane,
we haven't reduced a draft
call. All that, even under the

Senator Case: I should like
to ask Gen. Van Fleet II his
method Of operation at the
front was. In turn, dictated by
the stringent controls Of the
ammunition available?
Gen. Van Fleet: Yes, sir.
It naturally influences every
thing we do along the front.
The less ammunition you have,
the less pressure you put on
the enemy.
Senator Russell: But it (the
shortage Of ammunition) does
serve as q limitation on you in
the event fighting breaks out.
or for the commanding gen.
eral?
Gen. Van Fleet: Yes, sir,
we are taking q gamble. a risk.
OF course, we know what we
are going to do. Usually our
plans are projected pretty well
into the future as to what our
requirements would be as die
tated by us. but should the
enemy start something which
is unpredictable, then do we
have enough to meet his Of
fensive and I say No.
That last answer tells the
whole story Of the Korean war.
Washington has regarded it
as a side issue. It never has
been budgeted as q war. It's
operations have never been
handled as in wartime. The
State Department has called
the signals and made military
policy" Yet the draft calls
have gone out every month
for more soldiers. The lists
of killed and wounded have
been reported steadily, and
there has been a curious COM
placency that the American
people would stand for this sit
uation for the next ten years
with a casualty rate for Amer
ican boys Of at least $4,000 q
year.
The least that can be done
is to set up a Korean war staff
in the White House which
shall report directly to the
Commander in Chief without
any barriers in between and
with top authority to get am
munition and weapons to de-
fend our troops against any
kind of offensive the enemy
might at any moment decide
to start. It viii take some Of
President Eisenhower's time.
But with American boys dy-
ing in Korea every day and
more to die tomorrow. is there
anything more important?

Something Of the new effort
had appeared even before the
Chinese Communist agreement
last week end to exchange sick
and wounded prisoners of war.
The United Nations had sug-
gested it long ago and pressed
it repeatedly. but had got no
reaction until now.
Both President Eisenhower
and Prime Minister Malenkov
have gone out Of their way to
display to the world q willing
ness to have a meeting. No
body expects that meeting any
time soon, but there is at least
conversation about it.
Secretary of State Dulles
also has invited the world to
new understandings, now that
the leading world powers are
under different arrangements.
In a speech to the United Ma
tions.; he stressed that, "The
Stain era is gone, this is the

ican Ambassador to the United

appeal to Russia for q softer"

thrusts. but they have signifi-
