Six Heroes HOnOred.
Six youngsters who performed
heroic deeds while serving on
safety patrols of their schools
were chosen to receive gold life
saving awards. Vice President
Nixon presented the awards to-
day in ceremonies in his Offices
at the Capitol.
Outstanding among these was
Jimmy Hunt, 13, of Stanley,
Wis. Jimmy risked his life Oc-
tober % of last year when he
dragged to safety four younger
children rooted with terror in
the path Of an oncoming express
train. Jimmy sized UP the sit
uation from 200 feet away, ran
the distance and managed to
save the children a split second
before the train thundered by.
Eye witnesses said Jimmy was
so close to the flashing wheels
they thought he had been struck.
The other five children got
their awards for similar quick
thinking action. They are Jean
Thompson, II, of Newman. Ga,
rescued three children from the
path of a train; David Conrad,
IL. Plymouth, Wis; Kenneth
Altherr, II, Ypsilanti. Mich;
Paul Weiss. II, Bronx, N. Y, and
Ray Barday, 13, of Atlanta. Ga.
All were honored for dashing
into heavy traffic to save jay
walking comrades.
The safety patrollers represent
q half million youngsters who
guard crossings at $4,000 schools.

Wilson Has Saved $477,25O
To Date With Aid of Senate

firmed Mr.. Wilson's appointment
to the Cabinet after he promised
to dispose of his GIN stock by
April i. This promise he made
in a letter to Chairman Salton-
stall of the Senate Armed Forces
Committee.
During February GIN common
shares were selling at a high of
SCOTS and during March at
$68.375. Mr.. Wilson probably
sold in this price range, without
getting top price for his entire
block of stock. He did not sell
his entire holdings in one lot, it
is understood. However, it is
known that he did obtain an at
tractive price.
At that rate, as of today, it
certainly can be said that the
Senators have saved the Secre-
tary of Defense a neat piece Of

respect to wings. But when you
find out the facts, I am con-
fident you will believe that we
will be making real progress
when we get to ia modern
@. Now that we have aban-
doned the hope of being able to
maintain air superiority in Eu-
rope, will we formally abandon
three years work we have put
into creating NATO. or will we
continue to keep up a pretense?
NATO Plans Continuing.
A. This is the first suggestion
have ever heard that we have
abandoned the hope of being
able to maintain air superiority
in Europe in the event of war
Our plans for maintining and
strengthening all componentS
of the NATO forces are continu-
ing. In the buildup of United
States Air Forces the NATO re-
quirements for United States Air
Force units are being given full
consideration consistent with the
overall requirements and priori-
ties OF missions for the United
States Air Force.
@. In view Of the fact that the
Soviet Army has more than IFS
divisions, will our Army of 20
divisions be able to offer any,
thing more than a token 'of re-
sistance in case of war?
A. Here again we have a queS-
ton based on an assumption that
we will match only one segment
of our military strength against
a selected strength of an enemy.
There is the further erroneous
assumption that a Soviet division
is equal to one of our divisions
and neg1ects the number of di-
visions Of our allies. I for one
certainly expect the Army, with
its overall strength. with its i'm
proved weapons and equipment,
backed by the United States
Navy, the United States Air
Force, and the armed forces of
our allies, would be able to offer
real resistance and would ulti-
mately win in the event of war.
Charges "Iffy" Question.
@. If the Communists do not
provoke an all-out war but break
out of containment elsewhere, as
in Indo-C China. do we plan to
send another several hundred
thousand American troops to
contain them as in Korea?
A. This is an "iffy" question
which is based on a single as
sumption without taking into
account the many other elements
Of the general international stu
alton which might exist at that
time Such action as the
United States might take in this
situation would be dependent
upon decisions taken by the
President upon the recommended
tions of the Secretary of State
and the advice of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff in the light of the
circumstances prevailing at the
time. It is not possible to dis
close in public session plans
which have been developed to
meet possible emergency situa-
tions arising in Indo-China or
elsewhere.
@. How does the mobility of
Evening star., 1953-06-11

the atomic cannon compare with
the mobility of a jet fighter
bomber? Do we have any atomic
cannons in Western Europe
now? How long would it take us
to get additional atomic cannons
to Western Europe in the event
of war with the Soviet Union?
A. I can only answer the first
question in this group without
disclosing top secret information.
An atomic cannon is obviously
not as mobile as a jet fighter
bomber in the air but 1t is much
more mobile than the jet fighter
bomber if weather or other con-
ditions prevent the bomber from
flying or participating in the &C
ton.

Spending Figure Sought.
In connection with that argu-

asked Gen. Vandenberg to furnish
them with the amount of addi-

spent "judiciously" to speed up
the build-up. The Eisenhower
budget cut the tentative Truman
Air Force for the next fiscal
year by $5:1 billion and the
Senators wanted to know what
part of the reduction the gen.

Constantine Brown:
The Tempter in the Krenn|in
Russia Warns Up to Britain and France With Indication
Of Extending Trade Opportunities Behind Iron Curtain

The present pattern Of STRAIT
egg of the Kremlin toward the
West seems to be to tempt
Britain and France with the
possibility of extensive trade
opportunities behind the Iron
Curtain while maintaining a
tough attitude toward the
United States and Western
Germany.
It is not yet clear to the
Western policy makers who in
the Kremlin masterminds the
Soviet's foreign policies. For
the time being it appears that
Malenkov has not covered
himself entirely with Stains
mantle, and that at least Law
remit Beria-the number two
man in the Red hierarchy-is
Juggling at it.
American and Western Euro
pean observers are convinced
that the Soviet field marshals,
three of whom are partici-
pating actively in the U. S. S. r.
government, while a fourth,
Klementi Voroshilov, is the
nominal head of the state.
have an important voice in
the determination of the new
Soviet foreign policies.
Stain had started a cam
paign last September to sepa-
rate Western Europe into indi-
vidual units, in an attempt to
destroy the nominal unity
which was intended by the
North Atlantic pact. The seeds
fell on fertile ground, since
most of our allies are loath to
continue to spend their own
monies on a major rearma-
ment program. Moreover, the
centuries-old dissensions be-
tween the Western nations
have been only specifically
healed by the NATO agree
ments Insofar as the French
German rivalry is concerned,
it has blossomed out with re-
newed vigor since the former
French government of Antoine
Pinay signed last year the
Bonn peace contract and the
edo agreement. These were
supposed to put an end, at
least temporarily. to the in
terminable hostility between
the two neighbors.
It appears now that the
Kremlin has picked up the
Stain line and is endeavor-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-03-26

ing to push it ahead, with two
important trump cards up its
sleeve: one is the enormous
military superiority of the
Reds over the NATO armies
which will remain mere token
forces until Germany receives
permission to rearm. The
other is the recent suggestion
that the U. S. s. r. favors
entering into a friendly COM
mercial competition in all sec
tions of the world with Great
Britain and France. This is
interpreted by London and
Paris tc mean that the vast
potential markets behind the
Iron Curtain. heretofore for
hidden to the West except
through direct dealings with
Moscow and only in strategic
materials, might be offered to
the export-hungry West.
The american protest
against the recent Red out
RACES against our planes have
been cavalierly treated by the
Muscovites. But Gen. Chuikov,
the representative Of the
Kremlin in Berlin, expressed
sincere regrets" at the loss
of life suffered recently by
the British when a British
military plane was shot down
by a Soviet MIG. Moreover,
he lost no time in suggesting
a definite agreement regard
ing the air corridor from Ber-
lin to the West in order to
avoid such future incidents.
The Soviet Foreign Office also
promised to use its good Of
fees with the Peiping govern
ment to repatriate the nine
British civilians who were cap
tured when the Reds occupied
Seoul in 1850. At no time in
the past has Moscow showed
so much friendship toward
London. All these factors are
being carefully evaluated in
Washington in an effort to de-
termine the pattern of the
present hot-cold Kremlin &C
tons.
Our Western allies are sus-
ceptible to these gestures, par
ticularly if they feel that by
accepting the tempting olive
branch they could drastically
curtail their defense expendi-
lures and also find new lucra-
tive commercial outlets in the
Red-dominated East. Some
Of their political leaders adopt

fact that the German question,
as a whole, cannot peaceably
be solved without a peace
treaty to which the Soviets
must be a party.
The visit here of the French
leaders to be followed by a visit
from the West German Chan
cellor, Konrad Adenauer, may
iron out" minor difficulties,
but cannot abolish the funda-
mental reality that the Euro
pean army holds no solution
whatever for peaceable Ger
man reunification. It but deep
ems the cleavage of the nation,
and with it the partition of
Europe has, up to now, not
contributed to Franco-Ger-
man reconciliation. Rather
it has highlighted the differ
enceS between the French and
German world position. in
creased French distrust, given
the Soviets a powerful diplo-
matte weapon, and imposed
upon the United States contin-
uing military burdens, with
out corollary political power

anticipated emergency. The
North Korean attack on South
Koree had created apprehen-
sion tilat East Germany, where
the peoples police" was being
formed into an army, might
emulate North Korea against
defenselesS West Germany.
The French, to prevent the le-
creation of an independent
national German army, coun-
tered with the proposal for a
European army from which
German units could not with
draw to pursue specifically
German national aims.
That also was not thought
through. For, failing the ex-
istence of a European govern
ment, to which a European
army would owe unquestion-
able allegiance, nothing could
prevent some future West Ger
man government from with
drawing German units, for the
purpose, for example, of
reaching a settlement with the
U. S. S. R., to permit German
Notwithstanding, that is
to say, except force, which
with the Soviets inside Europe
could not be employed against
Germany without precipitat-
ing general civil war.
In short, the new policy,
without any quiet considera-
ton of possible alternatives,
was embarked upon blindly,
with purely military considera-
tions-and very short-range
military considerations at that
predominant over political.
The cards which the Soviets
! held, politically and militarily,
we're ignored. Those cards are:
Nearly half of German terri
tory and a quarter of it's pop

the satellite armies on the
