Suddenly the right wing seemed

WASHINGTON, Up - Senators
have been told that Gen. Matthew

James A. Van Fleets plan for an
Allied sea-borne strike against the
Communists in Korea in June,
1851.
Van. Fleet, then commander of
the us. Eighth Army in Korea,
recently told Senate Armed
Services subcommittee he was
trying to turn me loose" for such
an assault, but that higher auth
ority would not approve it.
Van Fleet, now retired, said he
felt he could have destroyed the
Chinese armies with the blow.
At the time Van Fleet gave that
testimony, Ridgway said in Paris
he had absolutely no comment"

A strange request has gone out to American book

the United States information program not written

Considered controversial by whom? And why?
What about "noncontroversial" books by 'controver

Is not controversy in one sense the likelihood Of
democracy-that free competition of ideas which diff
ferentiates living, growing manysided society from
the rigid orthodoxy Of the totatarian police state?
Are readers abroad who turn to the libraries of
American information centers likely to be much i'm

Or they likely to be more impressed by the splen

Of course, the State Departments purpose to elm

Former Interior Assistant
BIames Salmon Packers
For Firing Of f &WL Head

WASHINGTON, Up - Charles
Alldredge, a former assistant to
the Interior Secretary, Tues
day blamed Alaska salmon pack
ers and certain California sports
men for the discharge of Albert
M. Day as director of Interiors
Fish and Wildlife Service.
Alldredge, son of ICC Chairman
J. Haden Alldredge, said in a pre-
pared statement that Mckay
lacked the grace to fire Day per-
sonnally, but left the matter to
IAN underling."
He said that among Farley's
chief supporters are sAlaska's
salmon packers, who are dis
turbed at the conservation meas
ures which Day has enforced in
order to restore the valuable sal
mon runs of the territory, and a
group of California sportsmen
who supposedly wish less string
ent enforcement of the game laws
including permission to use baited
fields in duck hunting.
Neither true sportsmen nor
conservationalists will be pleased
by McKay's action" he said.
