Honorinq Two Generals

Two of Americas most distinguished SOL
diers-"fghting generals" in the true military
Sense-are passing new mileStOneS in their
careers this afternoon when special review of
troops will honor General of the Army Omar
Bradley and General Lawton Collins. General
Bradley, completing two terms as chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff will doff his uniform
this coming Saturday. to take a position in
private industry but, as five-star officer, he
will remain on call If ever his military services
again are needed. General Collins, leaving the
post of Army Chief of Staff, will continue in
service as the United States representative on
the Military Committee of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and as a member of the
Standing Group of that alliance.
To General Bradley, therefore, the cere-
mony this afternoon means the close of an
Army career marked by unusual distinction.
Few generals in American military history have
combined his capacity for dramatic action and
the strong voice with such calmness of person.
atty. His solid qualities as leader on the
field of battle were brightly Illuminated in
World War H. in North Africa and in Europe
Soldering has been an honored profession to
him and his seriously meticulous practice of his
trade brought him not only victories but the
respect of his officer colleagues and the conf
dent admiration of his troops.
The breadth of General Bradleys profess
sional abilities and his capacity to speak in
"the strong voice" have been displayed in the
years since World War II ended. During
hitch as Veterans Administrator he breathed
a new vigor and discipline into an agency that
additionally has been an inviting target for
political pressureS and potential stage for
bureaucratic abuses AS Army Chief of Staff
and later as chairman of the Joint Chiefs, he
has been both administrator and policy maker
He spoke out bluntly against the fancy Dan"
admirals when he felt Navy point OF view
was hurting the defense effort, and he disputed
with equal bluntnesS the Macarthur thesis for
extending the war in Asia. These examples of
his willingness to fight in the open for his
professional opinions merely served to empha-
size, however, his greater devotion to patience
and co-operativeness in rebuilding Americas
power and combining it with that of the other
free nations to stand guard against Communist
aggression.
eff our determination for freedom is as
great as the Communist desire for tyranny" he
wrote recently, I'VE will always rally good men
to our better cause. Resourceful patience on
our part can help the world pluck security and
peace out of the present nettlesome danger"
There has been close personal association
and General Collins. 1t is appropriate that they
should take the review together this afternoon
and it is reassuring that both of them, in their
separate ways, will remain In the service OF
their country.

Fascinated and at the same time re-
PEELED by the change in the profile of
war, Col. Donovan returned to America
convinced we should stay out of Eu-
ropes problems, but the SwiftneSs with
which. Nazi Germany struck caused him
to jettison his early isolationiSm.
President Roosevelt sent Col. Dono-
van on q 25,000-mile inspection tour
of Africa and Europe in the early days
Of World War II. Again he pitched
: tent on the battlefield, this time next
to BritainS Gen. Waven on the hot
desert sands Of Libya. In Bulgaria he
demonstrated with King Boris on the
dangers Of a German alliance just
before the Nazis marched into Sofia.
In London he rubbed elbows with
Prime Minister Churchill and studied
Britain's defense
In 1941, the mild-mannered soldier of
fortune became q man of mystery in
the eyes Of his countrymen when PreSi-
dent Roosevelt appointed him Co-ordi-
nator of Defense Information. The
press dubbed him "HuSh-HuSh" Don
ovan when he refused to go into detail
about what his job was and what he
was going to do. Responsible only to
the President, the agency generally was
engaged in collecting diplomatic, mill
tary, naval, geographical, economic,
racial and psychological facts regard
ing foreign nations. Col. Donovan
had thus become a sort of Minister of

Later in the war the President named
him head of the Office of Strategic
Services-that mysterious intelligence
army within an army which Col. Dono-
van himself created, developed and di-
rected. It's operatives fostered resist
ance movements, conducted important
research at home, and supported mill
tary movements behind enemy lines.
For his organizational genius, he was
promoted to brigadier general and f.
nally to major general.
Another war over, Gen. Donovan
went to Nuremberg as war crimes
prosecutor, but before the OSS was dis
banded, he recommended the establish
ment of central peacetime intelli-
gence agency. His recommendation
eventually bore fruit in the creation Of
the super-secret Central Intelligence
Agency.

Government Competition

In The Star Of August 5, Thomas l..
Stokes, in his defense of more govern
ment in business, quotes from the re-
cent conservation message of President
Eisenhower, in which he proposed to
carry forward the traditional policy of
conservation of our land and water
resources policy initiated so years
ago under the leadership of President
Theodore Roosevelt-and then says:
"At the risk of being impertinent, it is
suggested that it is taking the name OF
Theodore Roosevelt in vain to identify
some of the things going on here now
with him"
Impertinent is right, for it is obvious
that New Dealer Stokes has confused
conservation" with government own
ership and exploitation. He has also
confused the Roosevelts, since it was
Franklin and not Theodore who advo-
Gated and secured the creation Of tax
free government corporations to COM
pete with tax-paying private corpora
tons in the generation and transmits
sion of electricity, the building indus
try, food distribution, shipping, bank
ing, insurance, etc.
Native-born citizens scarcely realize
the extent to which their economic
freedoms have been curtailed during
the past 20 years. However. to the for
eign born such subsection by a govern
ment octopus is all too familiar. AS
was said by Associate Professor Of Ro-
nance Philology at Columbia Univer-
sity, DR.. Mario A. Pei (who came to
this country from Italy in 1909: Far
more than the native born, they are in
position to make comparisons. They
see that America is fast becoming a
19th-century- model European country.
They are asked to believe that this is
progress. But they know from bitter
experience that it just isn't So"
Not until American industry is freed
from the deterrents of the excess tax
on profits and competition by tax-free
government corporations will our ira
ditional economic freedoms be restored,
with prosperity which is not spurious
but real. M. c. Lyddane.

us. Demands
Just Compensation
For DOWned B-5O

WASHINGTON, Up - L n e
United States demanded "appro-
pirate compensation" today for
the shooting down Of an Ameri-
can B-5O bomber over the Sea Of
Japan July %.
A formal American note re
jected MoscoW's version of the
incident and protested Gin the
strongest terms" against the at
tack.
The American note, delivered
to the Russian Foreign Office in
Moscow today, requested San ex-
haustive investigation" regarding
the whereabouts Of Is crewmen
aboard the plane.
At the same time, it demanded
payment not only for the loss Of
the plane but for "the lives Of
any Of its crew who may have
been killed as a result of the
attack by Soviet fighters"
In a note shortly after the in
cident, Russia had claimed the
American four-engine bomber
flew over Russian territory near
Cape Gamov. Moscow commended
that the American plane opened
fire on two Soviet fighters which
were inviting it to leave air space
Of the Soviet Union," and then
disappeared in the direction of
the sea.
In answer today, the United
States said Russia's story is sin
complete contradiction of the
facts of the case" as established
by thorough investigation by
American authorities" including
questioning of the lone known
survivor, Capt. John E. Roche.
Instead of being over Russian
territory, the plane actually was
approximately 40 statute miles
southeast of the nearest of the
Soviet territory, Povortny, the
American note said, adding:
'9This position was established
by radar by the navigator just
prior to the attack"

Alaska Population
Exceeds Nevada's
By 1000 Persons
BY Mary Lee Council

Secretary to E. L. Bartlett,
Delegate to Congress from Alaska
Alaska's population on July /,
1852, exceeded by 1000 persons
the Nevada population, according
to statistics recently published by
the Bureau of the Census.
The statistics reveal that Neva-
da had 10000 persons residing
within its borders a year ago,
while Alaska's population was es-
timated at 10000. This compares
with April l, 1850, figures of 1885,
643 for Alaska and 16O,O83 for
Nevada.
The increase Of approximately
$4,000 people in the territory is a
Alb percent increase over the
1850 census figure, the largest
percentage increase of any area
given.
Arizona with 14.6 percent had
the highest percentage growth be-
tween the census of 1850 and July
l, 1852, for the States, with Neva-
da next with 12.4 percent.
The national average of popula-
ton growth over this period was
3.4 percent.

Fourteen hours after the B-36

up one survivor and recovered
one body, 42O miles west of
Prestwick, Scotland.
Search planes sighted two

tossing raft.
Later, another bit Of wreckage
was sighted 285 miles south east
of the raft. An American search
plane that made this find said it
believed a floating silk parachute
was among the jumbled floating
mass spotted. The plane circled
the area awaiting the arrival Of
a surface vessel.
It was assumed that because of
the speed with which the bomb
er travelled, the men who jumped
were scattered over a wide area.
With dusk approaching in the
search area, it is easier some
times to spot single man by
night by the flare with which his
survivor suit is equipped than it
is to see him in daylight, airmen
said.
AS soon as the raft was spot
ed, the searching plane dropped a
boat.
A drizzle reduced visibility to
one mile, and the cloud ceiling
was down to 100 feet.

Prisoners Report
On Red Sentencing
Dims Exchange Joy

PANMUNJOM, Up - Four hum
dred happy Allied war captives
rode Russian trucks down. the dirt
road from North Korea to free
dom today.
The massive, five-week Korean
war prisoner exchange was on
1878 U. N. troops : including
1913 Americans-for $4,000 Reds.
The, Communists said 1872 more
prisoners, including 70 Americans
will be liberated tomorrow.
Seventy Americans came out of
the bleak Communist prison
camps in the first detachment.
For them and $50 other former
Allied captives the Korean war
had finally ended, nine days after
firing stopped at the front on
July 27.
However, the sharp joy was
blurred by grim report from the
first American officer released.
Maj. John Daujat of Richmond,
Calf, told newsmen the Reds had
sentenced some US. officer cap
tives to long prison terms only
two days ago for ''instigating
against peace"
That was seven days after the
armistice.
Daujat was swept into the home
ward processing before he could
elaborate. In later interview at
nearby Freedom Village he didn't
add to his first report.
In Washington, Pentagon and
State Department spokesman de-
clined comment.
The returned Allied trops looked
drawn and tired. Some were so
weak they could hardly walk.
At Freedom Village, Col. Fred
w. Seymour, head of the hospital
there, said his doctors found a
high percentage of tuberculosis
and other lung diseases among
the repatriates.
For the second days exchange
the Reds gave no explanation why
they were returning only 1872,
rather than the 400 promised
daily.

But the lawmakers left behind
for their second session beginning
Jan. Cor a possible special meet
ing this fall-an imposing list of
key measures which will make
or break their record.
Many of the hottest potatoes,
including some of the Presidents
recommendations, were simply
left in the bin. Others, on the adj
vice Of the President were handed
to study commissions for closer
scrutiny.
This first session-of the first
Congress in two decades to be
Republican controlled while a
Republican was in the White
House-made a firm start toward
edging away from the Democratic
party's New Deal and Fair
DeaP' PHILOSOPHERS.
But even Republicans conceded
it was only start-and much of
it at that achieved only with
Democratic aid.

three minutes before Sen. Morse
began a speech in the Senate at

But the end didn't come in the

late Sen. Robert A. Taft, Congress

on a huge 5312 billion dollar pro-

enough to balance the budget.
The outlook is that despite the
cuts there will be a whopping
