Chilling Facts

The cold facts of arithmetic
made it clear that Operation Big
Switch" could not be one of I'M
alleged joy. Casualty reports,
meticulouSly compiled over the
years, show 11,706 Americans miss
ing north of the truce line or
known to be in captivity. Only
1901 are listed positively as pris-
oners on the latest tabulation.
The Communists, in agreeing to
the prisoner exchange, reported
only 1913 Americans on their POW
lists. The discrepancy of 1898
men, between our list and theirs,
could hardly fail to spell heartache
for the families of men who went
to Korea and did not return.
Last week. in press conference
at the Pentagon, Gen. Mark w.
Clark, U. N. Commander in the
Far East, said he believed the Reds
are holding between 1000 and
5000 Americans in addition to the
1913 they have acknowledged. His
estimate raised two questions:
/. What can we do about getting
these men back?
2. What about the other 5,400 or
6,400 still unaccounted for by Gen.
Clark's estimate?
Melancholy Answers
The answers to these questions
were melancholy. We can protest
as the State Department did
yesterday-but probably can do
nothing to get back any more men
than the Reds choose to deliver
to us. And, as for those still I'M
accounted for, most of them I'M
doubtedly are dead-either in &C
ton or as a result of Red atrocity
or neglect.
These facts and figures recalled
to mind the marrow chilling state
ment of Col. James M. Hanley on
November Is, 1851. Col. Hanley,
then chief of the Judge Advocate
section in Korea, stated that 6,720
Americans had met their deaths
through atrocity in the first Is
months of the war. Though Col.
Hanley was rebuked and his esti-
mate pooh-poohed, it appeared
now that conceivably he might
have been within 4 per cent of the
truth.
This, perhaps, was the cruelest
blow to date in the Korean truce,
For the families of the 1913 men
who will return-423 should be
back by today-there will be the
happiness of reunion. For the fam
lilies of those who later can be told
by some returned POW, "I saw
your son die in prison." there
eventually will be the solace of
knowing what happened. But for
those whose kinfolk have vanished
inside the Soviet empire there al
ways will be the lingering doubt:
Is he alive or is he dead; or, even
worse than dead perhaps, is he one
of the faceless ones sold irredeem-
ably into Communist bondage?
For those who will ask that
question in years to come, there
can be no answer that will satisfy
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-08-09

The announcement Of the H-bomb
would give top Communists from
all over the Soviet Union much
needed shot in the arm.
Second, the announcement
would warn the Western allies
that Russia was far from helpless,
despite the domestic troubles.
The warning to the West further
discredits the Soviet peace often
sive. 1t runs counter to the
present Red policy of soft talking
the free world into letting down
it's guard.

Congress

HAVING FILLED 11,418 pages Of
l. = the Congressional Record,
Congress last week closed the book
and decided to call it a year. The
first session of the 83d Congress
ended at 1876 pm. Monday by
the Senate clock, 1888 am. Tues
day by the honest timepieces in
the gallery (the official clock had
been stopped so that the Senate
could quit Monday in accordance
with the adjournment resolution.
A furry of laSt-minute work put
finishing touches on a welter Of
bills that had been shaped in most
details during previous weeks. The
one important measure that could
have held up adjournment-an in
crease in the national debt limit
was not brought to the floor. The
administration gave in to pressure
from economy Senators.
Treasury officials did not give in
until the last minute. At a Mon
day breakfast at the White House,
Secretary of the Treasury Hum
phrey again told Senators why, in
his opinion, the debt limit had to
be raised from the existing $275
billion to $500 billion. Authorized
expenditures, he said, would bring
the Governments cash surplus to
a dangerous low before January,
and only $2.5 billion could be bor-
rowed without hitting the legal
limit.
Byrd's Stond
But Congressman, including
Senator Byrd, leader of the econ
ony forces, pointed out that the
ceiling might encourage the Fed
eral Government to find new re-
auctions in current spending. For
once, they hoped, the statutory
debt limit would hold down spend
ing.
The limit has had no effect on
spending in the past. Whenever
the national debt approached 80 to
IS per cent of the ceiling, the ad-
miniStration would ask that it be
raised. The debt now is SO per cent
of the ceiling. Here is a recent
history of the debt and ceiling:

It would not be beyond the Reds
