of the increasing threat OF
the u. S. s. r. against the
United States. Gen. Ridgway
has consistently stated that as
supreme commander Of the
NATO forces his job was not
to judge the Muscovite inten-
tions as our allies are prone to
do. but only their military
capabilities. And these are as
serious now to the security Of
the free nations as when the
NATO was created.
Despite the alleged change
in heart in the Kremlin which
our wishfully thinking Euro
pean allies want to detect,
Washington is convinced that
the ultimate goal of the Reds
in Europe and in Asia has not
deviated in the slightest.
Only the timetable appears to
have changed somewhat. The
pressure on Western Europe
was modified from Saber rat
tling to sweet words of peace.
In the Far East, however, the
Communists have increased
their military and political
pressure. This is clearly seen
now by the. White House,
Pentagon and State Depart
ment, where it is realized that
the Kremlin is following the
old maneuver Of divide and
rule"
Our allies, especially the
British, do not share this
point of view. They are will
ing to accept the Russian
words at their face value. The
European statesmen, who have
always followed policies of
expediency. may not put much
stock in the Kremlin's words.
But they appear convinced
as tney. were IN regard TO Ger
many at Munich in 1938-that
they can never muster suffi-
cent strength to oppose the
U. S. S. R. militarily. And
they have decided to follow
the philosophy that If you
can't lick your enemy you had
better become his friend.
The British have now as
Sumed a position of leadership
in Western Europe and are
worried that we may not share
their inferiority complex in re-
gard to the u. S. S. r. Since

much better to air all the diff.
ferenceS now and get the pub
lie opinion of both Britain and
the United States thoroughly
familiar with the sources Of
friction than to allow i'll feel
ing to shoulder indefinitely
and cause the fires of dissen-
sion to burn on. and on.
The truth is, British news
papers in large part have been
reporting from the United
States for months a one
sided story of American atti-
tudes toward the Far East.
The line taken has been that
only a handful of Americans
we're interested in seeing the
Communist regime punished
for her aggression in Korea
and that only a handful also
favored aid to the Nationalist
government on Formosa. Yet
American policy OF aiding Chi
ang Kai-Shek's forces has for
nearly three years now been
approved by Congress, and
there has been no idea in
Washington either under the
previous or the present admin
istration that the Communist
regime should be rewarded for
her aggression by inviting the
Red China government into
the u. N. to take China'S per-
manent seat in the Security
Council, with its all-powerful
veto.
The British people have been
singularly unaware that the
United States has had more
than l million boys in the Far
East and that nearly $4,000
casualties have been incurred
on the theory that Britain
stood with America whole
heartedly behind the U.N.
resolution which ordered the
aggression repelled in June,
1850. This principle of collec-
tive security based on Britain's
support has been eXtolled in
America. To see Britain. there

Constantine Brown:

Our Western allies, and par
ticularly the British, are con-
cerned that the United States
will henceforth insist on safe
guarding it's defense interests
in Asia as much as in Europe.
This is a charitable inter-
probation of the speeches by
Winston Churchill and Glenn
ent Attlee which have stirred
up American public opinion.
According to some diplomatic
sources, the changes in the
military high command in
Washington, which were re-
leased last Monday but were
known in London for some
time. spanked the London ex-
plosion.
The new Chiefs of Staff who
will form the administrations
new military planning team
are beyond doubt the ablest in
the armed services. The new
designate, Admiral
Arthur Radford. is reputed to
be one of the cleareSt thinking
officers in our armed forces,
with a cold. Unconditional ap-
proach to our strategic prob
lens.
The same thing can be said
about Gen. Matthew Ridgway,
who has proved his mettle not
only as paratroop commander
in Europe in the last war but
also as 9th Army head in Ko-
rea and later as supreme COM
mander of the United Nations
forces in the Far East. Ad-
miral Robert Carney. the new
Chief of Naval Operations, and
Gen. Nathan Twining, the new
Chief of Staff for Air, are of
the same caliber.
Our allies have 30 particu-
lar interest in the ability and
personality of the new Ameri-
can military planners. They
are concerned. however. over
the fact that these new figures
in the Pentagon may be Asia

Korea divided, is as shocking
as to see Mr.. Attlee accusing
some unidentified Americans
of wanting an "all-out war" in
the world because some Amer
leans believe in using maxi
mum power to win a victory
on the battlefields of Korea.
The effort of Mr.. Attlee to
drive a wedge between Presi-
dent Eisenhower and his Sec
retary of State by claiming
that the latter's speech differed
from the April Is pronounce
ment by the Chief Executive
is an attempt to create mis-
chief-a task, unfortunately,
to which some American
writer's still welded to the
Acheson concepts have dedi-
Gated themselves. too.
Small . wonder that latest
Moscow dispatches say that the
Russian newspapers are play
ing up Mr.. Attlee's speech and
commenting that "the speeches
of rank-and-f1le members of
the British Parliament-Con-

with a quotation from Laborite
John Hynd, who in his speech
in Parliament criticized 1t.

American negotiator, for his
aggressive tone at the Ko-
rean negotiations"
Why wouldn't the Commu-
nists reject the proposals when
some of Britain'S Spokesmen in
Parliament have already pub
licly repudiated the American
negotiators? With such inepti-
tude, the world may wonder
whether British bungling,
which led the world into World
War I and which failed at
Munich to perceive the folly of
it's own diplomacy and brought
on World War II, may now be
dragging the world involun-
tarily into World War III by
failing to be decisive and at
critical moments to adhere un-
equivocally to it's pledges to
its allies.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, May

said last night he was having
his problems" moving incom-
petents from the Justice Depart
ment.
I'VE inherited more than our
fair share of logrollers and mis-
fits" he asserted. adding it
would take a little time" to
clean out "the dissiderts, the
dawdlers and the deadheads."
Mr.. Brownell appeared on a
television program conducted by
Representative Keating, Repub-
lican. of New York.
The Attorney General, inter-
viewed by Mr.. Keating. said
things were really in a bad
shape in the department" when
he took over last January as a
result of incompetence and
malfeasance right at the top"
He said the first step of the
new administration was to re-
place policy-maklng division
heads, and next to move out the
incompetents.
"The great bulk of our en-
ployes there are doing an honest
job" he continued, "and we be-
lieve that if we can give them
the right type of leadership,
high professional ethics and
real competence, We can once
again re-establish public con-
f1dence in the department"

The White House is showing

malign effect Senator Joseph

David Lawrence:

Knowing that nearly all ele-
mentS in Great Britain have
been opposed to Americas pol
icies in the Far East, it was
not surprising that the Com
munist negotiatorS in Korea
rejected the latest plan sub
mitted by the U. N. COM
mander.
For, if ever a negotiation was
torpedoed without warning.
it was the Panmunjom parleys
of the last few days which have
just been broken up by the
speech of Clement Attlee in the
British Parliament.
The Communist negotiators
would have been foolish to go
ahead with any agreements as
long as it was apparent that,
by holding out still further,
they could take advantage of
the diScord and the disunity
arising from the differences be-
tween the United States and
Great Britain.
The story is a tragic one be-
cause evidently Prime Minister
Churchill, who is experienced
enough to know better, insisted
on a foreign-affairs debate in
Parliament at a crucial mo-
ment in the Korean negotia-
tionS. There were efforts made
by the Washington govern
ment to dissuade him but to no
avail. It was inevitable that
any debate on the Far East
would accentuate American
British differences.
Also, when a former Prime
Minister is so indiscreet as to
make a speech attacking Amer
lea at the very moment when
the Congress of the United
States is being asked to shell
out more and more billions for
the aid of Europe, there must
be something radically wrong
with the political judgment of
the leader of the British La
Dor Party.
Mr.. Attlee will not get off
the hook by attacking Senator
Mccarthy any more than the
Wisconsin Senator's fiery reply
will bring an improvement in
Anglo-American relations.
There is, of course, a school
OF thought which thinks it is
Evening star., 1953-05-15

the new policy instituted by
the Justice Department which
prevents district attorneys from
engaging in private practice.
It was felt necessary to pro-
vide a salary that would at
tract able men for these i'm
portant posts.
Coupling of the salary in
crease for members of Con-
gress with the judicial ad-
vances might tend to smooth
the course of the measure.
However, Congress is expected
to go very slow unless the
public indicates its support and
such public support is deserved.
Twice in recent years Con-
gress has been burned when
it undertook to look out for
the very important institution
that it is. Once when it ap-
proved a pension plan for
members and again-in 1876
when it last increased its sal
ary scale, Congress was sub
jected to considerable criticism
and ribbing, including a bun
dles-for- Congress" movement
that showered members with
clothing, mostly of the cast
off and hand-me-down variety.
Every member of the House
and a third of the Senators
are up for reelection next
year, as every two years, and
there is the fear that candi-
dates who are seeking to un-
seat incumbents would use the
salary increase as a demagogic
issue, as has been done in the
past. This happened most re-
Gently in the 1916 elections,
following the salary increase
which was authorized in the
comprehensive La Toilette
Monroney bill to reorganize
Congress and streamline its
procedures.
In fact. one Of the authors
Of the Congressional Reorgan-
ization Act. the late Senator
Robert M. La Toilette of Wis
conSin. was a victim Of such q
demagogic attack from his

The Governor sought to re-.

Berlin, who, according to men,
bers of the Mccarthy commit
tee, recommended to McCar-
thy the "junketeering gum
shoes" Mr.. Cohn and Mr..
Schine, who recently terrorized
United States information in
stallations in Europe. Mr.. Ber-
lin insisted that he had heard
Gov. Dewey make such state
ments before.
Senator Welker pressed on
too. First-hand information
later brought to Senator Mar
garet Chase Smith, Republi-
can, of Maine was that Mr..
Dewey then decided to seek
sanctuary behind her skirts
by claiming that he was re-
ferring to Mrs. Smiths inves-
tigation of the ammunition

Thomas L. Stokes:

It is an encouragement to
good Government that a Sem
ate committee has brought in
a bill to increase the salaries
of members of Congress.
It is long overdue.
It would be fine if Congress
would be bold enough to enact
the measure which, as reported
by the Senate judiciary Com
mittee, would raise the salary
of members of House and Sem
ate to a straight $25, 900 a year.
Now they get $12.500 base sal
airy, with a $2,500 expense al
lowance. The latter formerly
was tax-free, but now it is
taxed and members are allowed
a. $4,000 deduction for living
expenses in Washington.
Members of Congress are
timid about voting to increase
their own pay, fearing it would
be made an issue against them
for reelection. A number of
civic groups, as we'll as promi-
nent citizens, have urged an
increase in salary for members
of Congress in recent months.
but nothing was done until the
Senate Judiciary Committee
stepped forward.
This, itself. was accidental in
Q way. The committee was con-
Sidering a bill to increase the
salaries Of district attorneys
that was sponsored by Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Neva-
da. When increased scales were
fixed for these, it then was
deemed wise to adjust salaries
of Federal judges upward pro-
portionately. These new scales
were higher than salaries of
members Of Congress and it
was thought only fair, as Sen
ator McCarran explained, to
increase the latter to put them
above district attorneys and
judges.
The motivation originally for
the increase in district attor-
ney salaries was because of

that the new American Gov
ernment may show more diplo-
matte independence than its
predecessor. They have fol-
lowed with misgivings the var
ious actions of administration
leaders and were dismayed
when the 7th Fleet was or
dered to lift the naval curtain
from Formosa. They showed
real anguish when the Ques-
ton Of blockading the Red
China coast was being seriously
discussed in Washington. All
these developments were de-
scribed in London as instances
of Americas unwarranted ag-
gressive thinking.
Field<MarShal Lord Mont
gomery was sent to Washing
ton last March on an unofficial
visit. At a private dinner at
Fort Myer he warned those who
attended that if we were to
continue the war in Korea we
would be deprived Of the sup
port Of the British and Com
monwealth division which Is
now fighting on our side.
Chairman Dewey Short Of
the House Armed Services
Committee replied that this
would be unfortunate. but we
could easily afford to dispense
with that support. The British
field marshal reflected the
concern of his government that
we were not willing to join it
in considering the Far East
mainly as a commercial propo-
sition and insisted on placing
the accent on its strategic i'm
portance.
The reshuffling in the high
command in Washington was
interpreted in London and
other European capitals to
mean that the new team which
is coming in this summer may
not consider a war imposed on
us by the Reds in the Far East
as a wrong war at the wrong
time and in the wrong place.
And London knows that the

Of the Government will pay
attention to the military views
of the new Chiefs of Staff who

successful opponent, Senator
Joseph R. Mccarthy, who
spread the absurd Slander that
all that Senator La Toilette
was seeking by the reorgan-
ization act was to increase his
own pay. Senator Mccarthy
readily accepted the increased
salary when he came here.
1t would be hoped that Con-
gress might be exempt from
public abuse if it does what it
ought to do and votes to in
crease salaries. Congressional
salaries never have caught up
with imitation. Nor has the
pay ever been commensurate
with the caliber and service
expected of members of Con-
gress. as contrasted with per-
sons in other callings and pro-
fessions. They get far less
than executives of business
corporations whose RESPONSE
bilities are far less weighted
with the public interest.
In fact, members Of Con-
gress help to run the biggest
business in the world. which
is what our Government is.
Higher pay should attract per-
sons of ability who now shy
away from public service in
Congress because of the finan-
cial strain 1t so often becomes,
especially to persons with lit
tie outside means and large
families.
