Van Fleet Sees Need
Of Smashing Victory

CHICAGO, April 11.-Perma-
nent peace in Korea can be won,
only by a smashing military
victory" by the United Nations
forces, Gen. James A. Van Fleet
says.
Any peace won across the ne
gotiation table. the retired 9th
Army commander said. would not
be permanent and would not lead
to the U. Ms announced objec-
tive of the unif1cation of Korea.
Gen. Van Fleet told the Exec
utives Club yesterday that con-
ditlonS exist in Korea which
could bring about an armistice,
but do not believe that condi-
tions would exist in an armistice
which would bring about a salts
factory peace"
He said he hoped the present
peace talks will bring back all
our wounded and all our missing
but I do recommend that the
war be ended with a military
victory"
THE decision we must make is
to deal the Communist armies in
Korea a decisive military defeat"
he said. THAT will solve the
major problem. We can't live in
definitely in a state of uncer-
tainty. We can't go on. half at
war and half at peace. This is
a war we can win"

Housing Unit Head
Sees Chest Trustees
Reversing Decision

Confidence that the United
Community Services Board Of
Trustees will reverse the UCS
Executive Committee vote to
drop the Washington Housing
Association from Community
Chest support was expressed to-
day by the association president.
Col. Campbell c. johnson
charged that the executive COM
mittee in it's Thursday decision
to drop the housing agency had
bowed to pressure from real
estate interests.
Close Contest Indicated.
The vote was 13 to 10. indi-
eating the issue may be con-
tested closely when it comes up
for final action April % by the
212-member Board of Trustees.
Col. johnson said the trus-
tees are closer to the needs Of
the city and appreciate the
associations work."
The Executive Committees
ground that the housing agency
fails to command the broad
community support appropriate
for Chest financing, he said. is
the same argument brought up
every year by the agency's oppo-
nents. but they never get spe-
cific."
States Housing Stand.
He said the agency favors
rent controls until there is
enough housing for supply and
demand controls, and that it
does not favor overall public
housing programs.
Col. johnson explained that
the association never has adj
vocated public housing except
for the low income group. and
that when private enterprise can
build homes for low-income peo-
pie. public housing should be
stopped.
Private enterprise says it can
do this" he said. but so far
no attempt has been made. The
only place such people can live
is in slum areas which are ex-
pensive to the city, because from
them we get our highest crime
rate and our highest disease
rate"
He warned that If the hous-
ing agency is not reinstated,
this will mark the beginning
of the disintegration of the
Community Chest"

Berlin Air Corridor
Proposed by Soviet
Given Serious Study
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN. April 11.-America,
Britain and France are giving
serious consideration. to Rus
sian plan for ending cold war
plane incidents by establishing
one big air corridor to Berlin,
Allied officials said today.
A three-part Soviet proposal
submitted by Air Force 1t. Gen.
I. D. Podgorny here last Tuesday
is now being studied by govern
ment experts in Washington,
London and Paris.
The Vests answer may be
ready next week.
Soviet Plan Outlined.
The Soviet plan. developed
after two MIG jet fighters shot
down a British bomber on the
East West interzonal frontier
March IL and killed all seven
crewr1en, includes these points:
/. One big corridor, 80 kilo-
meters (56 niles wide at it's mar
roWeSt point. It would be run
between Hanover and Berlin for
all Western air traffic with this
isolated city and would replace
three corridors each 20 miles
wide. These have connected Ber-
lin with Hamburg, Bueckeburg,
and Fulda in West Germany
since the end of the war.
g Allied military aircraft of
any type would be permitted to
fly in the big corridor-if they
are unarmed But all armed al
lied planes would be banned.
3. Routine flying in the COR
ridor would be at attitudes be-
tween 1000 and 5000 feet, COM
pared to attitudes up to $500
feet now generally used in the
small corridors.
Vital to BerlinerS.
The Soviet plan apparently
has impressed allied air force
officers as containing helpful
measures for bringing new safety
order to Berlin'S air traffic.
But it is being carefully stud
lied from all possible angles, for
the security of 2 million anti
Communist West Berliners fun
damentally depends on free air
access to the city.
If there is a catch to the Rus
sian offer, the allies are intense
~ anxious to spot it before they
sign anything relinquishing the
three small corridors.
At present there is always the
risk that a minor navigational
error may cause a Berlin plane
to trespaSs a corridor boundary.
Incidents Recalled.
A year ago, an Air France
airliner was fired on by Soviet
fighters when it allegedly veered
from a corridor. Four persons
aboard we're wounded. Last Oc-
tober, an American ambulance
plane was warned with a burst
of machinegun fire in a similar
incident.
The proposed new corridor
would be about 100 miles long
and nearly that in breadth at
its western terminus. From west
to east. it would gradually taper
down. but even at it's narrowest
in the vicinity of Berlin, it would
be at least Sc miles wide.
Under present rules, armed
allied planes can be flown in
and out of Berlin. But the Rus
slams insist that such armament
should be forbidden in future.
The Soviet suggestion for low
ering the altitude of corridor
flights seemed to stem from a
Russian idea that navigational
errors are fewer the closer that
q pilot flies to the ground.
