Far East Sets Pace of HISTORY
Coordnoed Fighting Front With ndo-Chno Be Studied
BY Gen. Clark as Peipine Faces Red Supply Troubles

Gen. Mark Clark, supreme
commander in the Far East.
is expected to visit Indo- China
sometime this month.
Ofdcially this Is to be q
courtesy call" to the French
and Wet Nam authorities. But
in fact 1t is the result Of con-
versations with Frances Mar
shall Alphonse Pierre JUN who.
after q tour Of inspection in
Indo- China, visited Gen. Clark
in Korea.
Marshal JUN has advocated
for some time a common front
against the Communists, from
Korea to Malaga. He presented
his views to the Joint Chiefs
Of Staff in Washington early
last year but was told that
this was not feasible politically.
It appears that now his plans
are more acceptable.
Gen. Clark is believed to have
been instructed by his superb
ors to canvass the situation
and find out not only what the
actual position and strength
Of the troops in Indo- China is
but also how full military CO.
operation between the two sep
arate theaters of operations
could be co-ordinated.
The Western policy makers
intend to adopt a policy of
watch and see" in regard to
the U. s. S. r. This, however,
has nothing to do with the
Washington administrators
ideas to put an end to the war
in the Far East. This war was
ordered by Stain and is being
fought by Russia's Asiatic sat-
elites, spearheaded by the
enormous Chinese manpower.
The turmoil which is ex-
pected to follow Stains death
will make it difficult for the
Chinese Communists to receive
the same amounts of military
supplies they have received
from the U. S. s. r. in the last
20 months. Without Russian
planes, tanks and to some ex-
tent guns and ammunition, the
Chinese armies will soon be
paralyzed.
The Peiping clique must
realize that even if the transit

marked by violence the new

The Senators are not going

Allied World Misses It's Chance
Reaction to Stains Death Proved Psychological bud
And Points UP Again the Vests Lack of Realism
David Lawrence.

Nothing could illustrate more
tragically the utter confusion,
disunity and lack of defined
purpose that characterizes the
Allied world today than the
news dispatches rejecting the
views Of leading legislators,
diplomats and cabinet minis
tiers here and abroad on the
meaning of Stains death.
The first reaction was one Of
"wait and seas If the Loop
ard could change his spots or
as If the death of one evil man
would promptly remove the
evil from his associates in
Moscow. There were actually
some spokesman who thought
peace would come to the world
with the departure Of Stain
and that Communist imperial
ism was just a one-man phe-
nomenon. There were others
who thought this was the time
to separate Mao from Moscow
by offering recognition to Red
China, thus rewarding the ag-
greSsor in a sudden display
of peace-at-any-price enthu-
Siasm.
What comfort it must have
given the Moscow bureaucrats
whose duty it is to survey the
foreign scene and help design
future policy to note that the
Western world was not only
COMPOUNDED by the death of
Stain but, in some instances,
actually shed tears. The French
government, for example, Or

as might attend the passing of

places today seem to forget

Russian dictator will have so
many problems on his hands
the regular flow of military
equipment from the Soviet
factories to China will be
slowed down.
In the meantime the allied
forces In the Far East are
getting stronger insofar as
military supplies are concerned.
The deplorable situation which
existed in Korea between the
fall Of 1851 and the election of
President Eisenhower is being
rapidly retnedied. There was
a time last year when the
allied forces in Korea had am
munition sufficient to with
stand an about Red offensive
for no longer than 40 days.
This was the reason artillery
shells and hand grenades were
strictly ratloned even to the
men directly on the front lines.
The shoe is likely to be on
the other foot now. Details
about the stepped up military
supplies to the allied forces in
Korea are not available for Sc
curity reasons. But it is safe
to say that by the end Of
spring these will be available
in sufficient quantities to per-
NIT us to assume an offensive
early in the summer. BY that
time, it will be the opposing
Red forces which will feel the
pinch, particularly if our
bombers are permitted to de-
stroy the arsenals at Mukden
and Kirin.
The prospects of Russia in
tervening directly in the Far
East are even more remote to-
day, after Stains death, than
they were in his lifetime. The
Kremlin will fight to keep the
European satellites under its
yoke. But it is highly improb-
able that the Red generals who
are expected to play an in
creasingly important role in
the new setup in Moscow will
advise the new dictator to risk
direct involvement in Asia.

Mckay Urges Balance
In Conservation and
Use Of Resources

Douglas Mckay, in his first
formal speech as Secretary of
the Interior, said today the Ma
ton should preserve its natural
resources as much as it exploits
them.
He said he hopes to strike q
balance between the views Of:
1. Those who would keep the
country nearer it's natural state,
with public recreation parks and
fish and game preserves.
2. Those who would build
power dams, drainage and irri-
cation projects and oil and gas
developments.
Secretary McKay's speech was
prepared for the first general ses-
sion of the North American Wild
life Conference, a three-day
meeting expected to draw some
1900 specialists in every phase Of
resources management and Wild
life.
The Secretary said some
changes in policy would be a
natural result of the change In
administration in the Govern
ment. He said he expected some
attempts by special groups, which
he did not name, to try to high
pressure the new administration
into exploiting public resources
''for their own gain and the pub
lie loss"
Such attempts, he said, crop
up during every administration.
"They can be dealt with If the
people remain alert" Secretary
Mckay said. adding:
II can assure you. however,
that so far AS I am concerned
personally such policies as are
evolved will be only those which
in my considered judgment will
provide stronger safeguards for
the interest of the entire Nation
in our public resources"

It is the Russian generals this
time who might say that it Is
a wrong war at the wrong time
and in the wrong place.
Besides the disadvantage Of
distance from main supply
bases, Stains successor must
take into consideration posi-
BILE large-scale uprisings not
only in the European satellite
countries but possibly In the
U. s. s. r. itself. II the new
dictator needs a war for
domestic reasons, Western
Europe is a more inviting tar
get. The Red generals know
by now that in Korea they
must face the strongest COM
bat American Army In exist
ence backed by fanatically
patriotic Republic OF Korea
forces.
All these factors must be
considered by Mao Tse-tung.
Chou En-lai and Chu Teh who
are compelled to take into con-
sideration the fact that for
some time they will have to
face the allied armies alone.
The time for telling the
Chinese Reds that they either
must give up or face destruc-
ton is approaching. The crea-
ton of a co-ordinated front
from Korea to ndo-China, in
which the Nationalist forces in
Formosa may be called to play
a secondary but important
role, is much in favor with the
allied strategists in that area.
The history of the world is
likely to be revamped in the
next few years and this re-
vamping may start this sum-

Doris FIeeson:

The Eisenhower administra-
ton does not want a full-scale
investigation of the Korean war
as proposed by Senator Taft.
Instead, it believes that this
period Of transition in Russia
should be used to probe for
sources of friction between Red
China and the Reds in the
Kremlin.
In such a plan, fist-shaking
at Mao Tse-tung would be
held at a minimum while the
search for new approaches
went forward. Admittedly no
one can know for sure how
Mao will get along with Malen-
kov; it is pointed out, how
ever, that both had equal
status under Stain and Mao
may very well not relish Ma
lenkov's promotion.
Even before Stains death,
the President and Secretary
Dulles had shown great faith
in psychological warfare and
their demands for fresh initia-
tive have never stressed the
strictly military aspect. They
are said now to regard the
Russian change of regime as a
Heaven-sent opportunity.

will not attempt to interfere

India, Britain has long con-
tended that the hunt for solu-
tons in the Far East should
include an attempt to make a
Tito out of Mao.
The influence Of the China
lobby here made such a pro-
gram politically dangerous and
practically impossible for Sec
rotary Acheson. It so hap
pens, again accidentally, that
Nationalist China will have one
of it's most appealing spokes-
men here within a few days.
Madame Chang Kai-shek
will not this time be staying
at the White House but at the
Chinese Embassy. A great
round of entertaining for her
insures however that she will
meet everybody Of Importance
in the new administration, as
well as old friends in the Sen
ate. Her arguments against any
accommodation with Mao are
certain of repetition on Capitol
Hill.
Senator Taft is not without
power to upset the applicant
too. Gen. Van Fleet, despite
his Commissions, is an attractive
witness and as one Senator
pointed out, he was in Korea
when Secretary Wilson was
making automobiles. The for
midable Senator Byrd also is
exercised about the Van Fleet
testimony and he does not
easily let go of an issue.

Investigation into these fields
also can be so conducted as to
threaten the natural right of
dissent and intellectual indie
pendence by advancing, step by
step, from condemnation of
recognized Communism to con-
demnation of merely liberal or
progressive views. as has been
demonstrated often in recent
years.
This danger is aptly dag
nosed by Senator Morse, Ore
gon independent, sponsor of a
proposed code for Senatorial
investigating committees. While
he referred to no specific in
vestigation now under way, he
certainly had those mentioned
above in mind, along with
others.
He said that abusive pro-
cedure by Congressional COM
mittees can not help but en-
gender fear and compel sterile
conformity. This involves an
incalculable loss Of free ex-
preston and the wholesome
and open competition of ideas
which is the strength of de-
mocracy."
Current scenes at the Cap
itol are recalled by his allu-
sion to the way witnesses are
shut off from speaking in their
own behalf 'by banging CAV
els" and of how "the public
can be misled and regulations
smashed with no opportunity
for rectif1cation."
Abuses plain to any observer
of Congressional Investigations
have prompted both the Ore
gon Senator and Senator Ke-
fauver. Democrat, of TenneS-
see. to call for safeguards for
witnesses. The Tennessee Sem

One good result that could,
and should, follow from the
three-ring Mccarthy Jenner-
Velde Investigations currently
going on in Capitol committee
rooms Is the adoption by each
branch of Congress of a code
for conduct of all Congress
sional Investigations to protect
the rights of witnesses.
Never has the need for such
safeguards been so apparent
and so dramatized as by this
combination of inquiries, re-
spectively, into alleged Com
munistic influences in the
State Department, a field still
preempted by Senator Nc
earthly, Republican of Wis
consin, and of Communism in
schools and colleges, chosen by
Senator Jenner, Republican
of Indiana and Representative
Velde, Republican of Illinois
for their attention.
This is because in these par
ticular Investigations, aside
from some procedures that
have been criticized, the COM
mittees are delving into rights
and privileges that affect free
dom of thought and inquiry, a
realm of intangibles. In the
field of education, sensational
over-dramatization of isolated
cases of actual Communist
teachers can, as it already has,
produce anxiety and fear
among school officials. That is
translated naturally, in self
protection, into excessive
timidity among teachers so
that they shrink from explor-
ing controversial subjects with
their students. That robs our
educational system of its ira
ditional virility.

other peace conference. to
make permanent agreements.
The allies give the impress
sion not only of being weak
kneed and afraid of Moscow,
but of quaking in their boots
about discarding the so-called
wartime agreements. If the
Democrats in the United States
Senate are going to play the
role of pussyfooters, Moscow
will be encouraged to believe
that it can take, even holder
steps in the future in the "cold
war" without fear of a united
front or a solid resistance from
the Congress of the United
States.
The politicians who think
America is Predetermined
never made a bigger mistake.
The fact is that the majority
of Americans believe a world
wide struggle for human free
dom is going on, but they
don't understand why $4,000
other Americans are being
compelled to stand still in
Korea and take endless punish
ment from the Communists
while the Government in
Washington withholds the nee
essary orders to bring maxi
mum military power to bear.
Top military men say the
Korean war can be ended now
with far fewer casualties than
would be incurred in ten
year Stalemate.
Realism hasn't struck WASH
ington yet, and the new adj
ministration has not yet come
to grips with what has to be
done to get peace in the Far
East and thereby in Europe.
The main reason is that Wash
ington, like London and Paris,
is still steering without a COM
pass-a set of basic principles.
The strongest nations militarily
that the earth has ever seen
are continuing to be bluffed
by a group of bold conspira-
tors in the Kremlin who, when
challenged in earnest, will be
swept from Russia by an en-
ragged populace. ALI the mes
sages from the allied world
about Stains death are being
publicized and broadcast
throughout Soviet Russia as
evidence Of the alleged SYM
pathy for and friendship of
the Western governments to-
ward the Communist regime
itself. The psychological"
strategy of the Western allies
last week was certainly a dud.

a vital right and function. But
they feel that it can fall into
public disrepute unless citizens
who are witnesses are fully

Morse put it, "the sole result

about our form Of govern

Thomas l. Stokes:
Code for Capitol Witnesses
Current Investigations Should Lead to Passage of Law
Protecting the Rights of Persons Called in to Testify

ator preceded Senator Morse
with introduction of a resolu-
ton for a code to protect the
rights Of witnesses. Their aim
is the same, and the general
outline Of their proposed safe
guards is similar, though diff
fering slightly in detail. The
Oregon Senator spoke very
much to the point when he
said:
"The Congress has tolerated
the conduct of some commit
tees which permit the most
serious charges against indi-
viduals without providing safe
guards against unsubstantiated
or highly questionable accusa-
tons or timely and adequate
opportunity for defense"
One, development, an impor-
tant consideration as regards
Congressional Investigations
that easily may be overlooked.
is the new and vague field
involving personal rights and
freedom previously cited.
Normally, most Congressional
Investigations deal with mat
tiers in the economy which are
subjects for legislation where
the issue Is over facts that
can be easily ascertained or
over opinions derived from a
set of facts; either that, or
Investigations into violations
of law or corruption of various
sorts, such as in the long con-
tinuing and still-continuing
investigation into the Internal
Revenue Bureau, where the
question also is one of fact.
The issues cannot be so clearly
defined in the current Nc
Carthy-Jenner-Velde inquiries.

ments Of their cases after
ward; the right for counsel to
question other witnesses who
appear against them, and re-
quirements that subpoenas for
questioning about private af-
fairs must be approved by a
majority Of the investigating
committee.
These seem very simple
rights; but such are not en-
joyed now, except in the case
of a few committees which
have codes of their own.

dispatches is turning. For as
Malenkov takes over the post
of premier, he is described as
tough and anti Western and as
dangerous. But what is the
effect of that news? Is it to
make the Western govern
ments seem more determined,
or do they reveal only a
scared-rabbit attitude?
Small wonder that the
Voice Of America" is in a
turmoil. It is still an arm of
the policy making State De-
partment which evidently hest
tated, too, before making up
its mind finally that what it
knew heretofore about Com
munist imperialism was still
true. 1t took a few days before
the transmitters Of the "Voice
of America" were allowed 20
start broadcasting the con-
tempt for Stain which most of
the editorials in America ex-
pressed. This is conclusive
evidence that the less the Ca
reer diplomats have to say
about the handling of news or
news reactions over the "Voice
of America" the more effective
that service will become. It
ought to be Independent any,
way of all departments of the
Government except the White
House.
Perhaps the most discon-.
certing development, however,
has been the behavior of those
Democrats in the United
States Senate who seem to be
fearful of offending the Soviet
government by adopting a res
olution which repudiates the
agreements made at Yalta, Te-
heran and Potsdam. The ex-
cuse given is that to consider
those agreements invalid will
give Soviet Russia the right to
question the presence of allied
forces in Berlin. But when
ever it suits the convenience
of the Communists to question
that right, they do so anyway.
Nothing could be so salutary in
warning the imperialists of the
determination of the Western
powers to denounce the en-
slavement of free peoples be-
hind the Iron Curtain than a
scrapping of all wartime agree
ments. It is logical along with
this to demand that Soviet
Russia withdrew all her armies
from the so-called satellite
states so that free elections
can be held as a condition pre-
requisite to the calling Of an
