Doris Fteeson:
Cautious Welcome for Van Fleet
His Ideas About Korea Will Filter Through Top Officials
In Contrast to MocArthur's Emotional Shown CONGRESS

Another talkative general
who says he knows how to win
the war in Korea arrives In
Washington tomorrow.
In contrast with some recent
history, the strategy Of en-
circlement will be tried on the
newcomer, Gen. James A.
Van Fleet. It will be next to
impossible for him to break
out in Macarthur fashion from
the kind Of welcome being pre-
pared for him by his West
Point claSSmate, President
Eisenhower. oas Eg -
The President owes much to
the general from Korea whose
win-the-war views were so USE
fully leaked to him and used
by him in the Presidential
campaign. But as President,
Mr.. Eisenhower now must
necessarily calculate United
States military moves on q
round globe instead Of q flat
map.
In addition to the military
honors, Of course due him,
Gen. Van Fleet will have the
unusual distinction Of talking
to a full dress White House
conference attended by military
leaders and a bipartisan
congressional group. The gim-
mick is that this backdrop for
the first Van Fleet disclosures
will include spokesman for the
main commitments this coun-
try has in other parts Of the
world, as well as for both
parties.

so long as the allied armies
conf1ne themselves only to
skirmishes. Under these con-
ditions suff1cient forces can be
transferred to meet whatever
raids in force Chang Kali
shek's troops may undertake
this summer.
If the present war Of harass-
ment continues, the Reds have
even sufficient forces to help
the Wet Minis hold the French
on the defensive in Indo-
China. And behind this curtain
of local actions, Lin Piao hopes
to organize, possibly by the end
of 1854, such Chinese forces as
to permit large scale actions in
whatever sections of Asia the
dictators in the Kremlin may
demand.
The situation in the United
Nations is at present favorable
to the Reds The satellites will,
of course. strictly follow orders
from Moscow. The Asian Arab
bloc Is increasingly worried
over the rise Of Russia's power
in Asia, and under the prod
ding Of the Indians. probably
will lend itself to whatever
plans Comrade Vishinsky has
in mind.
AS for our allies who agreed
in 1850 to participate in the
Korean venture, Britain and
France have given definite in
dications that for reasons Of
their own they will not 60
along with us in a blockade
plan. They are even less ex-
pected to approve military
measures to put an end to tho
Korean war.

Two Democratic Speeches
Senator Russell Analyses Party Weaknesses Frankly
While Stevenson Shows Continued Political Unuworeness

when he CLOSED over the cor
ruption and immortality of the
Truman regime and the fall
ure Of the Democratic Party
In the executive branch to
come to grips with the Com
munist conspiracy inside our
Government.
The former Illinois governor
has not yet discovered that the
presidential election Of 1852
was won before either he or
Gen. Eisenhower was nomin-
ated-when SO per cent Of
the voters. according to q
University Of Michigan re-
search, had made up their
minds and q majority had de-
cided to vote against the Tru-
man administration.
Senator Russell, on the other
hand, has analysed penetrat-
ingly the weakness of the
Democratic Party under Mr..
Truman and what caused mil
lions Of Democrats to turn
away from their own ticket.
His speech is the frankest
piece Of criticism that has
come out since the election
and, If Adlai Stevenson reads
1t carefully, he will find out
more about how to rebuild his
party than by repeating the
radical line that dominated the
type Of campaign he made.
The Georgia Senator ac-
cused the radicals and such
organizations as Americans
for Democratic Action" Of
driving millions of Democrats
out Of the party. He aimed his
guns at their radical philoso-
ply as he said:
IF we permit the Demo-
cratic Party to become the
labor party. we cannot win
I'VE must make sure that it
(our basic philosophy of taxa
tion) is applied to meeting the
necessities of raising revenue
and not as q means of penaliz-
ing success
The Democratic Party must
turn Q deaf ear to those who,
IN whatever guise, threaten the
right OF private property.

pie have acquired. It will bear
very little resemblance to the
solitary, emotional show which
Gen. Macarthur staged before
q joint session Of Congress on
his return here.
Democratic politicians COM
planned then that former
President Truman made q ma
jor contribution to that effec-
tive appearance. They said the
President should have called
Gen. Macarthur home for q
conference, encircled him with
Generals Marshall. Bradley
and others, killed him with
kindness. Incidentally, the
Augusta announcement of
Tuesdays conference did not
list Gen. Macarthur among
the guests invited to hear Gen.
Van Fleet.
These same Democrats are
today admiring the Eisenhower
technique. They are inclined
furthermore to give him credit
for originating it.
It Is Of course true that the
political situation today is
vastly different from what 1t
was at the time Of the Mac
Arthur explosion. Then, the
Republican minority. many Of
them sincere admirers of Gen.
Macarthur, found him a USE
full stick to beat the admins
tration. Democrats. who are
now the loyal opposition, want
to 60 slow in Korea and would
not ext loit the Van Fleet views
under any provocation.

Dovid Lowrence:-

A study in contrasts-the
speeches Of two leaders Of the
Democratic Party, Adlai Ste
venson and Senator Russell Of
Georgia-has been afforded
the public in the last few days.
1t tells q story Of far-reaching
significance to the future poll
tics Of America-the breach in
the Democratic Party that
could mean defeat In many
more elections.
For Senator Russell made
the kind Of speech that could
rebuild and regenerate his
party so as to bring back
Democrats like this cores
pendent. Adlai Stevenson, on
the other hand, made the kind
Of speech that will keep inde-
pendent Democrats away and
could enable the Republicans
to stay in power for the next
20 years.
Adlai Stevenson's speech at
Los Angeles, like his article
in Life" magazine last week,
sets UP the fanciful thesis that
the two Presidential nominees
in the last campaign were
merely running on the same
platform Of good intentions"
He wrote of his disappoint-
n1ent that the campaign turned
largely on Korea, corruption,
Communists in Government,
etc." which, he says, were
really not controversial issues
at all" since, as he expresses
it, mo one was running on a
pro-corruption ticket or In
favor Of treachery."
In those superficial SEN
fences, Mr.. Stevenson shows
his complete unawarenesS of
the factors that fundamentally
influence the American polit-
zeal system. He cries out that
he talked sense" and told
the truth" during the cam
paign, but he wants the coun-
try to overlook the fact that
he himself made the biggest
compromise with political ex-
pediency and political reality

Thonnos [. Stokes:

Texas is . big State, our
biggest, In fact. Some Texans
want to make it even bigger.
They want, f1guratively. to en-
brace a big chunk of the Gulf
Of Mexico, far out, where all
you can see Is water, water
everywhere and never a sight
Of shore.
The Texas expanSionist
story is intriguing. It is worth
recalling in brief because Of
the part it has come to play
in the controversy raging
here over State on Federal
ownership of offshore oil lands.
Texas, as you know. began by
claiming the marginal seas
up to three leagues-10 or II
miles-inStead of the normal
three-mile limit usually rec
ognized In National, not State,
boundaries in certain inter-
national matters. This claim
Texas justified on the ground
that such were her boundaries
as an independent republic,
and that Congress recognized
them in admitting Texas as
a State in lieu Of granting
Texas request that the
United States assume the
debts Of the one-tine repub-
lie.
But three leagues is not
enough for Price Daniel, the
Texas Democratic Senator
who bolted his party and
plunked for Gen. Eisenhower
in the campaign. In his bill
to hand the marginal coastal
lands back to the States is
q provision which would give
the States q STU per cent
royalty also on oil found in
the continental shelf which,
In the case of Texas, extends
some IT'S miles into the Gulf
of Mexico. The fluent Senator
Daniel is reaching for the
moon that shines on Tampico
on the west and the Aztec
ruins In Yucatan to the east.
That would make Texas .
Whopper.

VTROUSER FASHIONS are the triumph of the

of the tapered pants, whether made of capeskin

The new trousers vogue claims little, if any

fit fatter, and ndsputably feminine that
