French Want Ridqwoy Home
NATO Commander Is Too Tough for Politicians;
Not Only That, He Tells Them the Awful Truth
Constantine Brown:

A virulent and skillful cam
paign is being waged in
France to get Gen. Matthew
Ridgway, the NATO supreme
commander, to ask for his
transfer back, to the United
States. This is being carried
out through the press and a
whispering campaign from
reliable but confidential"
sources.
This reporter fell for the
latter type Of propaganda last
January when he described
Gen. Ridgway as being fed
up with the slowness of
Western Europe's rearmament
efforts and ready to quit. A
more careful investigation and
a message from Gen. Ridg-
ways headquarters showed
that the insiders who had
provided this exclusive" in
formation were, at best, mis-
taken. Ridgway has never
found any assignment "impoS-
sible" and has never intended
to ask for his recall.
There is no doubt that our
French friends particularly
the politicians-would welcome
departure of the supreme COM
>mander, whom they consider
too tough.
Ridgway assumed the over
all command of the NATO
forces after Gen. Eisenhower
decided to return to the
United States to bid for the
presidency. There is little
doubt that Eisenhower's opin-
ion was sought by President
Truman before Gen. Ridgway
was transferred from Toyko
to Paris and he heartily in
dorsed the former commander
of his airborne corps in
World War II.
That Ridgway is disap-
pointed in the slow-motion
moves Of our allies is equally
certain. When he succeeded
Eisenhower, he fully expected
the Western members of the
NATO to live up to the COM
mitmentS they had undertaken
at the Lisbon Conference to
build up their ground and air
forces. He also expected the
edo treaty, signed at Paris,
to be quickly ratified after our
Congress and Britain's House
of Commons confirmed it with
out delay.
Soon after Ridgway assumed
his new responsibilities, he be-
came aware that our Western

views are sound. At the same
time, Congress, which viii
soon receive the White House
request for the 1854 appropria-
tionS for the MSA, feels that
the Western coalition has not
made efforts in keeping with
the huge total Of dollars ex-
pended by the United States.
Unless the allies, and espe-
cially our French friends, offer
tangible proof that they mean
to live up to their commit
mentS, either by speeding up
their own preparedness. or by
agreeing in the near future
to creation Of a German mill
tary force Of some 100000
men, there may be some sharp
cuts in these appropriations.
Ridgway is regarded in some
influential political quarters
in Paris as the man principally
responsible for stressing the
slowness Of the allies pre-
paredness effort. The political
angle of the campaign against
him has had repercussions
among the extreme national
ist element in France. These.
remembering the past glory
Of the French armies, wish to
see a French general at the
head Of the NATO forces, with
Americans and British in sub
ordinate positions.
Evening star., 1953-03-18

Allies considered rearmament
as a secondary matter. Do
mestic political and economic
matters had top priority.
Without becoming impa-
tient at the delaying tactics,
Ridgway did his utmost. to
convince the political leaders
that unless they got busy they
might find themselves unex-
pectedly in an impossible mill
tary situation which they
might never be able to remedy.
Like his predecessor, Gen.
Eisenhower, he did not mince
words when he placed the sit
uation squarely before the al
lied leaders.
Ridgway's pleas were an
swered with the argument that
the Western governments were
assessing the intentions of the
Kremlin from available intel
ligence reports. These were
said to show definitely that
the Muscovites would not un-
dertake any aggression against
the West for at least another
three years. During this
time, he was told, many things
could happen. The U. s. S. r.,
for instance, might need trade
with the West and thus break
down the existing barriers.
Thus the entire cold war
might come to an abrupt end,
they argued.
Ridgway's answer was that
while all these speculations
might be true he, as the
responsible commander, was
interested not in the Red in
tentions but in the present
military capabilities of the
Reds. And it did not take
much effort to demonstrate
that these were far in excess
Of those Of the Allied forces.
The realistic picture Ridg-
way placed before the allies
was true, and this may be the
reason why the politicians,
who are concerned with their
own political life, found it un-
pleasant. Bad news is difficult
to digest and it's carrier is
never popular.
The whispering campaign
against Ridgway recently got
into public print in Paris,
when it was feared that his
reports might be~ sympatheti-
cally received in Washington.
Eisenhower realizes from his
own past experiences as NATO
commander that Ridgway's

SHE'D away from the Taft
amendment. Since anything
short Of. an almost unanimous
vote by Congress would have
robbed such a resolution of
any effect, as the President
himself pointed out, the ad-
ministration withdrew and
averted a showdown with the
Taftites.
The State Department is
tinged with the Roosevelt
Truman stamp for Republican
purposes. While Senator Joe
Mccarthy, Republican, of Wis
consin pre-empted its Voice Of
America to prolong his con-
tinuous crusade in that area,
much to the embarrassment of
the administration, Senator
Taft has now come along to say
that the Voice should be
junked completely and a new
start made. He furthermore
gave Senator Mccarthy a pat
on the back for his investiga-
ton which. according to one
high-placed official brought in
by President Eisenhower to
assay themVoice, has com
pletely demoralized" that insti-
tuition Of psychological war
fare.
It was the old-line pro-
feSsionalS identified chiefly
with the Taft element in the
party who induced Mr.. Eisen-
hover during the campaign to
tolerate Senator Mccarthy.
Recently, it had been thought
that Senator Taft, as admins
tration leader, would be the
man to curb Senator Mccarthy,
but now he is blessing the
Senator again.
The pattern fits together all
down the line and ''co-opera-
ton" is working very nicely
for Senator Taft's Congress.

Senator Knowland's plan to
brand Russia as an aggressor:

The wait-and-see attitude
fits in with Malenkov strategy.
He bangles hopes Of peace so
as to retard rearmament by
the West and to prevent, If
possible, the European defense
army from being organized.
His own people are fearful Of
war, so he calms them by say
ing all questions with the
United States can be settled by
peaceful means. Meanwhile,
the Soviet representative in
the U. N. has brazenly told the
assembly that Soviet Russia is
supplying arms and ammuni-
tion to the Chinese Communist
armies in Korea to kill Ameri-
can boys. Yet there are Sem
ators who are afraid to ask
the U. N. to expel a member
nation which Is sending arms
and supplies to kill and wound
the troops Of the United Ma
tions fighting in Korea. Small
wonder that Malenkov, like
Stain, holds the initiative In
the world today. The Malen-
kov bluff is merely continuing
the Stain bluff.

allied countries nevertheless is
so strong that anything said
by Moscow about peaceful in
tent" is grasped in desperation
by the West-as II it would
help to reduce taxes imme-
diately because an armament
buildup would presumably be
less necessary.
These tactics have worked
before under Stain and are
being continued under Malen-
kov because the West is easily
duped by them.
Publicly. Of course. Ameri-
can and European officials
vehemently deny that they are
being misled by Moscow. They
insist, to be sure, that deeds
not words must be manifested.
But the net effect nevertheless
is to stimulate the assumption
that Soviet Russia has no hos
tile intent and that it is safe
to let the Korean war drag on
without result and to do moth
ing that might offend the
Communist temperament.
No better Illustration of this
could be cited than what has
just happened in the Senate,
where two prominent Republi-
can Senators expressed differ
ent views on what ought to be
done.

urged that all nations which
had extended diplomatic rec
ognition to Red China should
withdraw it. He said that it's
time for the free nations Of
the world ito stand up and be
counted, come what may" He
demanded that a naval block

It is still a fact that Repub-
lican women who have worked
and fought for party victory
for the past 20 years are still
practically unrepresented in
the Eisenhower picture.
Mrs. Mesta Is only amused
at those commentators who
suggested she Is staying on in
Luxembourg just to see the
coronation. She reminds her
correspondents firmly that
"the coronation is really for
the British" and she will not
be allowed many privileges "
This is not to say that she
is being deprived Of contact
with royalty. Prince Jean Of
Luxembourg and Princess Jo-
sephine Charlotte Of Belgium
will be married April 8 in
Luxembourg and Mrs. Mesta
anticipates that every royal
family in Europe will be repre-
sented. She herself is inviting
among her other guests q few
plain Americans who write for
the newspapers.
Mrs. Mesta was a personal
appointment of former Presi-
dent Truman to her diplomatic
post, and he appeased the
women of his party only by the
simultaneous appointment Of
Mrs. Eugene Anderson, Min
nesota national committee
woman, to be Ambassador to
Denmark. With her usual
energy, Mrs. Mesta plunged in,
entertained widely and estab-
lished contact with the
many servicemen roaming Eu-
rope. Mrs. Roosevelt, an early
doubter, visited her and came
away impressed.
The Luxembourg minister
can easily pass the means test
for the Eisenhower admins,
tration: her father was a
wealthy Oklahoman, and she
is the widow of q Pittsburgh
steel millionaire.

Thomas L. Stokes:

When the Eisenhower ad-
ministration assumed office it
was forecast here that the CEN
ter of gravity, the focus of
power, would move rapidly to
Congress unless the President,
himself. recognized his enor-
nous prestige and influence
with the people and began to
exert 1t, as he had never rec
ognized and exerted it in the
campaign.
Congress has, indeed. been
drawing power into its hands
swiftly, filing the vacuum; and
Congress, when the Republi-
can Party is in Office, means
the Middle West oligarchy that
holds key places through op-
Grafton Of the seniority system.
This dominant power bloc,
which revolves about Senator
Taft, is experienced and skill
full and is not matched, at
least so far, by equal political
finesse at the other end Of
Pennsylvania avenue, either in
the White House or the top
command in the Presidents
cabinet.
Observers here have been
astounded by the way White
House power has dissipated in
so short a time. 1t has been
abetted by President EiSen-
hower's continual curtseying
to Congress, touched on here
some time back. That is
q studied technique which,
though never successful in the
past, yet is defended by the
Presidents friends who argue
that. In the end, it will be
exploited when he finally finds
it necessary to challenge Con
gress.

seemed to them to constitute

she is relatively little known.
Also, her post. while pleasant,
is moderately obscure.
The dissatisfaction Of Re-
publican women was capped
when Mrs. Gardner Cowles,
wife Of another publisher, re-
ceived the coveted appoint
ment to represent this country
at the coronation. Mrs. CowleS
has been in business and pub
fishing, not politics; most Re-
publican women do not know
her.
Some party workers who
don't expect or want important
preferment but are interested
in certain public goals are
deeply concerned about an
other aspect of the Eisenhower
choice Of women for his
administration.
They point out that with the
exception of Mrs. Priest all

Doris FIeeson:

Amid all the storms that
rage about the State Depart
ment and its too few Russian
experts, it is possible to settle
one question regarding that
department with absolute f.
nality.
The American Minister to
Luxembourg, Mrs. Perle (Call
Me Madam) Mesta, will attend
the coronation of Queen Eliza
beth in London next June in
her official capacity. Over her
own signature, Mrs. Mesta de-
poses that her friend, Presi-
dent Eisenhower, who is about
to shake up the civil service
to make room for deserving
Republicans, has not had the
heart to relieve her before the
great event.
Mrs. Mesta has obtained
what she describes as a lovely
apartment on GroSvenor
Square, the Eisenhowerplatz
of World War II. With fine
bipartisan impartiality, she is
making the address and tele-
phone available to Republi-
cans and such Democrats as
may be wistfully hanging
about on the fringeS.
It can be stated, again with
absolute f1nality, that the
generous Eisenhower protec-
tion Of the interests of Mrs.
Mesta, a Truman appointee,
will make no hit with Repub-
1ican women.
Such longtime party stall
warts as Mrs. Robert Low
Bacon only simmered when
the first White House appoint

nounced. These were:
Mrs. Oswald Lord, of Citizens
