Problems of Truce
Tremendous Pressure to Ease
BuiIdup Due After Settlement

istration Is to achieve its goal
of balancing the budget. still
greater savings in the $50 billion
defense bill will have to be
found. The pressure to slash
drastically into military funds
which the administration does
consider vital, will grow.
In this field, the most vul-
nerable part of the program is
the administrations proposed
$5.8 billion foreign aid appro-
priation. The measure already
faces powerful opposition from
Congressional critics-most of
them in President Eisenhower
own party-who question the
urgency and. for that matter,
the desirability of the Mutual
Security Program. At this point,
administration leaders in Con-
greSS expect to- push the MSA
bill through after a tough fight.
But they admit that any real
shift in the lineup rejecting a
change in popular sentiment
would dim the prospects.
Barriers to Red Trade.
Reactions to a Korean truce
here at home would inevitably
color the. picture of our tcreign
relations. Already, resistance is
stiffening here in anticipation of
an effort to admit Red China to
the United Nations as part of
trace. settlement. The end of
the shooting is also certain to
increase pressure to let down the
barriers to trade with the Com
munist world. An official state
ment of Government policy on
these issues is expected soon, but
it seems unlikely that the major
differences can be quickly ironed
out.
IS Abroad as at home, however,
II Is the psychological reaction
to peace in Korea that spells
trouble for the free-world CO.
alition. Most Europeans are
weary Of the burdens that re-
armament imposes on them.
They would like very much to
believe in the sincerity of Rus
sia's talk about peaceful settle
ment of the cold war.
Truce in Korea would greatly
strengthen that hope. 1t would
provide a new and powerful ar
gument for Sir Winston Church.
i'll at the coming Big Three Ber-
muda conference in favor of an
early meeting with the RuC-
slams. 1t would undoubtedly
weaken the American position
that the Communists have done
nothing to back up fair words
with fair deeds.
Must Buck Public Opinion.
The President can point out, to
be sure, that the war in Indo-
China still goes on. and that no
progress has been made toward
a treaty for Austria or a settle
ment of the German problem.
He can make the real point:
That no settlement" with Rus
sia, short of mutual disarma-
ment, offers any alternative to
a continued. buildup of strength
in the free world. In doing so.
however, he will be bucking a
tide of public sentiment to which
few politicians. either foreign or
domestic, are inSensitive.
These are some of the factors
that Gen. Eisenhower and his
advisers must weigh against the
blessings of a possible peace in
Korea. They are problems which
will call for the most energetic
leadership the White House can
supply. And in meeting them,,
the President will need every bit
of personal support and prestige
that peace in Korea will bring
him"

Taft Says Korea Truce
May Cut s. Billions
From U. 5. Spending

senate Majority Leader Taft
said yesterday a truce in Korea
might knock So billion on this
country's spending total next
year.
He cautioned. however, against
expecting any substantial re-
duction in the number Of troops
stationed in Korea pending q
final peace settlement. And he
said he didn't think the prospec-
tive expense cut should be used
in Congress in an effort to hurry
tax reductions.
His estimate Of lower outlay
by the Army in the event of an
armiStice was based on the fact
that the Eisenhower budget for
the year starting July provided
for arming more South Korean
divisions. It also included, for
the first time, advance financing
Of combat consumption of sup
plies in Korea next year.
Chairman Wiley Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
agreed with Senator Taft that
the bulk Of the troops could not
be withdrawn on the strength
of a truce, but he suggested that
rotation of the men in Korea
could be continued and stepped
up.
Air Force Cut Seen Upheld.
Senator Taft also predicted
yesterday that Congress will
sustain President Eisenhower
SIS billion cut in new funds for
Air Force expansion. but he con-
ceded there may be "a severe
fight"
The Taft prediction came on
the heels of three days of sharp
warnings by Gen. Hoyt S.
Vandenberg, the retiring chief
OF the Air Force, that the pro-
posed cut from a goal of 143
wings to 100 wings would leave
the United States with second
best air force"-topped by
Russia.
Senator Taft pointed out that
restoring the cut would not add
any more planes to the air force
next year, but relates only to
the number the nation would
have in 1855 or 1856.
The belief of Senators Taft
and Wiley that an armistice in
Korea will not be felt materially
in the size of the armed forces is
borne out by Pentagon plans. De-
fense Secretary Wilson testified
recently that the pending budget
calls for total military strength
of 3,356,000 as of June 80. 1854.
with a reduction of only $4,000 if
hoStilitieS cease in Korea.
Senator Taft said he is will
ing to go along with the wide
spread desire of his colleagues
to avoid a fall session of Con-
gress this year. although he
originally favored a summer re-
cess from mid-July to october.
He said it seems definite now
that Congress will stay at work
until August. and then quit until
January.
Senator Taft did not think an
armistice in Korea would affect
these adjournment plans, al
though he suggested some law
makers may want to stay here
to make sure a move is not

Korean Battlefront
Changed but Little
In Last 18 Months
By Forrest Edwards
Asseeiotsd Press Foreign Correspondent


SEOUL, Sunday, June THE
Chinese and North Korean Reds
In recent weeks have captured
and are holding more than a
dozen Allied outposts and three
main line positions.
Despite that, the 155-mile
battlefront twists across Korea's
waist without appreciable change
from the line it followed a year
and a half ago.
Recent eruptions of furious
fighting on outpostS and for
ward jutting tips of the Allied
main line have been mainly
small scale-two companies, a
battalion. two battalionS and
regiments as compared to battles
between corps and armies earlier
in the three-year-old war. The
Reds used $4,000 men last month
In their heaviest assault this
year to gain Elko, Carson and
Vegas Hills on the Western front
and two more outposts' on the
central front.
The recent fights have been
bloody. The casualties have
been heavy. But they have not
altered one main fact the
Korean war remains stalemated
on a static front.
Some Armistice Value.
The Red gains do have some
armistice value. This may be
why the Communists were WILL
ing to pay so high a price iE men
for such small pieces of terrain.
An already agreed upon clause
In the proposed armistice agree
ment provides for a two and one
half mile buffer zone between
the United Nations and Red
forces. It would be established
by both sides withdrawing about
a mile and quarter from the
point Of contact" or demarca-
ton line at the time the true
Is signed.
In capturing the outposts, the
Reds have moved that line at
those spots anywhere from a \
half mile to two miles farther
south-but the points themselves
are scattered and immaterial.
The demarcation line drawn
In November of 1851 and little
changed since then dips south
of the 38th Parallel at the west
ern end of the battlefront but
extends up to 20 miles north
Of the 38th elsewhere.
Military Advantage Unchanged.
Lost allied territory amounts
to only a few square miles-and
that is counting the territory
controlled by whoever happens
to hold the position.
The point of contact between
communist and allied forces has
not materially changed. *sI
Neither has the overall milf
tary advantage, primarily. be-
cause the relative small Red
forces occupying the captured
areas are forward troops with
out any solid tie to the main
Red forces still back on and be-
hind the Communist main line. |
The Reds clinging precarious-
ly to captured outposts are, ;.Vula |
nerable and could not, advance !,
deeper into allied territory with
out forward movement of troops
from the Reds main lines.
Red occupation of the more !
important of the lost outpostS !
is an inconvenience and some |
thing of blow to allied plide, |
but army officials looking at the !
overall picture claim it is moth I
ing to worry about.
Many, from the 9th Army
commander. 1t. Gen. Maxwell |
D. Taylor, on down, think the
Chinese may have attacked and !
fought so hard for the outposts
to create an impression of con- /
tinued offensive ability--a show
OF military muscles coinciding |
with the resumption of armi-
st1ce talks at Panmunjon.

started to admit Red China to,
the United Nations.
Although Korean truce holds
the prospect of some reduction
in Army spending in Korea. it
is not likely to change the plans
of Congressional leaders for a
six-month extension of the ex-
cess profits tax. Any savings
effected in Korea would merely
reduce the deficit the Govern
ment expects to face at the end
of next year.

US. Millinery Industry Jubilant
Over Mamie's Enthusiasm For Hats
BY DOROTHY ROE
APP Women's Editor

Having a hat-conscious first
lady in the White House is like
money in the bank to the U. S.
millinery industry.
The New York wholesale mil
linery district which turns out the
bulk of the millinery bought by
the average American woman, is
iubilant over reports of Mamie
Eisenhower's enthusiasm over
hats.
Things have not always been so
good for the milliners, wholesale
or custom. There was a time in
the '30s when debutante Brenda
Frazier nearly wrecked the indus
try by starting a hatless fad that
swept the country.
The hatless threat has required
from time to time when some fash
ion celebrity happened. to be
caught with her hat off and a
photographer present, and other
women decided it was chic to fol-
low the leader.
Even the clothes conscious Ouch
ess of Windsor has been little help
to the millinery industry, clinging
to her heanies through thick and
thin. Those little cap-Eats are so
small they sometimes don't show
lat all.
But now we are about to have a
first lady who adores hats-and
the more the merrier.
Mrs. Eisenhower took so hats
along on the campaign train. She
has ordered a dozen new ones
from one New York milliner alone
to take to the White House as a
starter for spring.
Moreover, the sprightly Mamie
has a distinct flair for wearing
her hats well. She selects small,
face-framing shapes that look well
with her distinctive bangs, and
employs a skillful sense of color
in matching and contrasting chap
eaux and costumes.
A new hat to Mrs. Eisenhower
lis as good as a spring tonic-a
trait common to many women. She
perks up at once after prescribing
"a new bonnet for herself-and two
are even better.
