After shelling out somewhere
between $700 to $1,000 for a
color TV set, it's just possible
that early purchasers will see
only the commercials in color.
According to an NBC-TV
spokesman, network sponsors
soon will be filming all of their
commercials in color and insert
ing them into their live pro-
|grams before the program itself
has switched from black-and-
white to tint.
Since the color system is com
|patible," color receivers can pick
|up either color or black-and-
white. So, while the transition
to color is taking place, viewers
very likely will see Betty Furness
and George Fenneman pitching
their refrigeratorS and automo-
biles in vari-hued pictures, but
the entertainment part of the
show still will be coming across
lin good old black-and-white.
Sponsors may look upon this
as a good giInmick for keeping
viewers in their living rooms for
the commercial, but they also
will reap a lot of ill-will for their
pains.
The public isn't going to lay
out that kind of dough for color
commercials without emitting q
scream which can be heard from
Hollywood to Madison avenue,
New York.

has been instructed to permit
no protracted negotiations
which would permit the enemy
to increase the building up Of
his strength.
Nobody here minimizes the
difficulties in the path to
actual peace in that area. Not
only are we duty bound to
take into consideration the
vital interests of the South
Koreans, who have suffered
heavier losses than we, but this
Government would have grave
difficulties in overlooking the
fate of the Nationalist govern
ment of China in Formosa. On
the other hand, we know that
Great Britain, which recog-
nized the Peiping regime more
than three years ago, will in
sist on giving the U. N. seat
now occupied by the National
lists to the Red Chinese. In
this, Britain will be backed by
the overwhelming majority of
U. N. member nations.
In the light of the Spectacu-
lar and sudden hope for peace
which all the peoples in the
free world are so desperately
seeking, these real difficulties
are being considered by policy
makers as of secondary i'm
portance.
The most important joker
our leaders. are looking for in
these moves from Moscow and
Peiping is whether their Ques-
tionable sincerity for peace
may not weaken the still
unsatisfactory defense prepa-
rations of America and her
allies.
Gen. Eisenhower knows that
the American people. unless
they are in a major shooting
war, can easily be lulled into a
feeling Of security, regardless
of how phony it may be. We
are loath to look at stark
realities whenever any one de-
cides to talk about the bless
ings Of peace.
The present administration
has pledged itself to, balance

some Of the ,estimony they
gave at the hearings when the
Macarthur case was under
investigation.
The sad fact remains that
131, 900 casualties have been
recorded to date for the Amer
ican armed forces in Korea
and that of these $4,000 are
dead. 1t certainly doesn't make
relatives of those who were
killed feel that the sacrifices
were justified when every pro-
posal to achieve military vic
tory still has to be evaluated
in terms of whether some one
in the State Department or
British. Foreign Office thinks
1t will enlarge the war;" Sem
ator Symington said the other
day in a comment to the Sem
ate Armed Services Committee
about the use Of the atomic
bomb in Korea:
"It seems to me in our re-
fusal to use the atomic bomb
we may be asking a lot more
of our own youth to die in
Korea because maybe some of
us are afraid of what might
happen to us over here"
The question is: How long
are American boys going to
be sacrificed in so-called U. N.
wars throughout the world
while ammunition to fight Of
fensively is denied them in
termittently and orders are
dispatched preventing our best
military officers from doing
what they have been taught to
do-once the blood of Ameri-
can boys is spilled in war?
The Senate committee will
not get the answer till it ex-
amines all members of the
high command and elicits
from them information as to
the limits imposed upon them
by the Department of State.
in the last few years. It's an
important lesson for the fu-
ture that cannot be disre-
garded if American courage on
the battlefield is not to be
stunted by the newfangled no
tion that it's all right for
American boys to be killed but
they can't be allowed to use
maximum power to kill the
enemy. It's not the way to
build morale or fighting
spirit as American youth are
being drafted every day to
defend the U. N. against ag-
gressors on distant battle
fields.

David Lowrence:
Maybe after reading the

Maybe after reading the
testimony of Gen. Van
Fleet and Almond before the
Senate Armed Services Com
mittee, the apologists for the
Truman-Acheson regime, who
have been trying desperately
to squelch all Investigations by
Congress into what has been
happening inside the Govern
ment in recent years, will find
it logical to recommend that
West Point and Annapolis be
abolished and the whole STRAIT
egy of war be taught here
after by the State Department.
For it is difficult to under
stand the duties a military
commander can perform in
the future which resemble
what soldiers have been taught
heretofore when his instruc-
tionS are coming from diplo-
mats in IL different countries
in a so-called alliance.
Nowadays, a commander
cannot lay plans to fight the
enemy aggressively without
asking permission from the
So-called civilian" side of the
Government, usually the De-
partment of State, which un-
der the last administration
considered itself obligated to
make no moves in Korea with
out consulting the foreign Of
fees of our so-called allies.
The testimony of Gen. Van
Fleet, Just given, that twice
he could have destroyed the
Red armies in Korea and was
ready to make a Sea-borne
strike to accomplish that mis-
sion but was stopped by
higher orders" is a tragic con-
firmation of what has been
said repeatedly in these dis
patches ever since Gen. Mac
Arthur was summarily dis
missed in April, 1951-the
State Department has been
running the war in Korea.
The fact is that military men
have been compelled to bow
completely to the diplomats,
and the strange thing is that
some of the highest military
officers in the Pentagon have
accepted this as their duty.
The theory that diplomats
make foreign policy is well
understood, of course, but, once
a war breaks out. it is un-
precedented for military COM
manders to be required to
consult the Department Of
State to find out how much

Red Offer Too Good to Be I rue
Greatest Danger in New Peoce Hope Thot Moy Tempt
Economy MINDED Congress to Cut Defense Spending

the budget and reduce taxes.
But so long as the threat
to our national existence
irotn Communist imperialism
continues undated, the most
economy minded Congress
could not take responsibility to
reduce national defense ex-
penditures except by cutting
out waste and extravagance.
For example. we have a rela-
lively modest Air Force pro-
gram which provides for l26
combat groups by the end Of
1855. But in order to match
the Red air force. as 1t exists
now. we should have. no less
than $50 groups. This would
require an appropriation of
$25 billion over and above
present estimates.
The mere prospect Of the
dove of peace descending upon
the world may make our law
makers decide not only to turn
down such appropriations but
may tempt them to cut down
even current outlays. This Is
regarded as the greatest risk
contained in the new Kremlin
peace offensive.
We pulverized our Armed
Forces in 1916 to a point where
we could not have faced the
challenge Of even q secondary
power. We have not been able
to rebuild it yet, and many re-
sponsible military men have
been greatly worried in the last
months that we may not have
the strength to defend our
country against an enemy air
attack. A major defense effort
is being smade now. Gen.
Eisenhower realizes that q
hasty acceptance of the ques-
tionable olive branch from the
Kremlin might place us within
the next two years in q more
precarious position than we
are in now. He will agree to
attend q conference of the Big
-Four: he may even agree to Q
world peace conference.
But he has had enough
warnings against a new Red
trap.

Consto1tine Brown:

Washington's official attitude
toward the Unexpectedly con-

in Europe and Asia continues
to be Its too good to be,
true"
The possibility of an early
meeting between President
Eisenhower. Premier Malen-
kov. Prime Minister Churchill,
and the Premier of France,
whoever he may be by summer,
is now being considered.
President Eisenhower and
Prime Minister Churchill have
repeatedly stated that they
were in favor of such a meet
ing, provided that it was not a
wild goose chase.
Tentative plans are being
discussed in Washington for
such an international gather
ing to be held in Europe,
preferably in France. Should
this meeting materialize, Gen.
Eisenhower is said to want
to be accompanied not only by
the usual high-ranking mem
bers of his official family but
also by a representative group
from both Houses Of Congress.
The Chief Executive is re-
ported to have canvassed the
world situation extensively
with the National Security
Council on Tuesday. Gen.
Eisenhower and the members
of that top-security organiza-
tion are still Skeptical about
the real intentions of the
Reds. They all realize that the
fundamental nature of the
Communist threat still en-
dangers the West. They are
also aware that the Red
gestures are too sudden to be
convincing.
The Chinese Communists.
for instance, extended their
olive branch while the bodies
of American and allied soldiers
killed in the recent Red
offensive still lay unburied on
the Korean battle grounds.

intensity should be put into

It appears now that the
shortage Of ammunition in
Korea was probably deliberate.
Senator'S on the Armed Serv-
ices Committee say openly
that they suspect that the
amount of ammunition sent to
Korea was in accord with the
type of war" that the State
Department wanted to see car
ried on. There was always
enough ammunition available
to carry on a Sit-down war.
but never enough to attack
the enemy. OffenSives were not
wanted. Victory was tabooed
as an objective. Gen. Van
Fleet says American lives
were sacrificed by that policy.
What is surprising is. the
manner in which military
chiefs in the Pentagon in their
public speeches have hewed to
the State Department ''line."
At times they seem to have
been engaged actually in
propagandizing for it. The
Senate committee would do
well to investigate the extent
to which the military chiefs
were used to put out the
foreign-policy Zine" in the last
few years, employing their
prestige to influence public
opinion on political policies.
For certainly it is contra
dictory to hear military chiefs
say that the civilian authority
must be supreme and that the
military shall have nothing to
say about foreign policy and
then to witness their own pub
lie statements extolling the
foreign policy already laid
down by the previous admins
tration.
A lot of nonsense has been
uttered about the Importance
of civilian control" of the
military. Does 1t mean that
thought control" must be i'm
posed and that military men
must forget all they were
taught about pressing for a
military victory when hostil-
tiles break out in U. N. wars?
There is testimony before con-
gressional committees which
reflects this kind of defeatism.
It is so unusual for military
men to talk that way that one
wonders if the preceding ad-
ministration intimidated the
officers in question and caused

The prudent language Of
the Dulles statement is also
a rather special professional
triumph for the Senator. MIR.
Dulles is a founder and for
mer senior partner of one Of
the great prestige law firms Of
New York. Mr.. Mccarthy only
briefly practiced law and even
more briefly was a judge of the
lower courts of a Midwestern
State. Nobody can say, how
ever, that he did not hold his

The intensity with which
the State Department feels
every episode of this whole
contest was shown when edi-
tions of The Evening Star
reached the department with
the headline: Mccarthy Ship
Deal Upheld by Dulles"
Within minutes it was sold out
and the spiritual tempera-
ture of Foggy Bottom had
dropped to freezing.
Tonight they are specializing
on three possibilities about
their new boss. Is he, as some
Democrats have insisted, "a
pillow of jello"? Does he recog-
nize the menace of Mccarthy
but really and sincerely thinks
he is fighting against it intel
ligently? Or does he think
McCarthyism is greatly exag-
gerated? The majority vote
goes to the second possibility.
