Andrews Criticizes
EccIes Tax Ruling
BY the Associated Press

Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enue T. Coleman Andrews has
told his tax agents he does not
agree with a recent United States
Tax Court decision allowing a
couple with a tentative divorce
to file a joint tax return. -
Mr.. Andrews notice to revenue
agents throughout the Nation
referred to the divorce and tax
return of Mariner S. EccleS.
former chairman Of the Federal
Reserve Board. Whether Mr..
Andrews would go to court to
try to collect from Mr.. Eccles
was uncertain.
A Utah court in August. 1949,
granted the Eccleses a divorce de-
cree which did not become final
until the following February. Mr..
EccleS filed a joint return for
l949, making a tax saving Of
$5,479.18. The Revenue Bureau
challenged the return, saying the
tentative divorce decree made it
illegal for the EccleseS to file a
joint return as a married couple.
Mr.. Eccles appealed to the tax
court, which last spring ruled
that he was justified in filing a
Joint return for 1949. and taking
the saving. because his divorce
was not final before the end Of
the year.

sistent, these same lawmakers
should now vote, of course, to
put back into the Mutual Sc
curity bill the $1.1-billion cuts
made by the House.

nence Of a Korean truce, it
was decided that a party fight
would not be made.
The debate did show the

to an uneasy feeling that he
might be right.

Such solemn declarations
cause Mr.. Rhee to wonder
why: the party whose promi-
nent members in the Senate
reached such conclusions ap-
pears now to be willing to
maintain the status quo on
the 38th Parallel" and give
the enemy a ''Munich-like res
pite." This is being disputed
in Washington, where it is
unoff1cially revealed that Sec
retary of State Dulles has
told Lord Salisbury and
Georges Bidault that America
will not yield at the peace
conference on the question of
Korean unif1cation. !
1t is likely that Assistant
Secretary Walter Robertson
has conveyed to Mr.. Rhee,
within the limits of diplomatic
discretion, our stand and the
somewhat softer attitude of
the British Acting Foreign
Secretary toward Korea. Lord
Salisbury certainly approved
our note sent to the Com
munistS to fish or cut bait"
on the truce negotiations.
The unexpected and massive
Communist offensive of last
week., which cost the ROKs
alone some 10000 casualties,
and the apparent reluctance
of the administration in
Washington to give positive
guarantees that we will de-
mand the unif1cation of Ko-
rea has created uncertainties
in Mr.. Rhee's oriental mind.
We are on record that we
shall insist on the unification
of Korea but apparently have
not formally pledged our
selves to Mr.. Rhee that if
the cards are stacked against
us at the conference table, we
shall support to the limit the
achievement of this goal.
According to the reports
from highly authoritative
sources, we did tell this to
the British and French at the
recent Washington meetings.

they weave into cogent argu-
ment. Senator Morse makes
the serious mistake of talking
too often and too much, which
Byrd never does, but when the
Independent from oregon is
in good form he is hard to
answer.
Morse admitted that waste
and duplication were constant
Pentagon problems which had
to be fought, but urged
his colleagues not to cut the
functions of the armed services
during these dangerous times.
He challenged them to produce
competent witnesses who would
swear under oath that this
country has the best air force
in the world or even air SUI
periority at home or abroad.
Senator Byrd asserted that
his study of available defense
funds had convinced him the
present program is sufficient
for the next fiscal year.
The Mutual Security ap-
preparation will furnish the
next big test of the Presidents
:nf1uence. The House ignored
his last-minute attack on the
cuts it was making and sent
a $4.4-billion measure to the
Senate. Senators are eau
tiously optimistic about re-
storing the $1.1-billion cut but
are certain that if they do the
House will go along.

Unhappy Fiscal Future Seen
Congress Called Nervous About Mounting Deficits,
And SPecter of Expiring Taxes Doesn't Hell p Any

President Eisenhower will
get his big defense cut, prin-
cipally SIS billion in the Air
Force, but as with the Ko-
rean truce, the future burden
of proof of its wisdom will all
be his.
Congress is not quite as con-
fused and unhappy about the
defense budget as about Ko-
rea, but it is by no means
in a mood to cheer. Debate
on the crucial appropriation
showed most legislators en-
bracing the leave it to Ike"
solution as the best way out
of their perpleXity.
This has the merit of being
both plausible and a potential
alibi. It is of course true. as
Senator Morse rather cruelty
pointed out, that many of the
pre-Korea Truman mistakes
decried so eloquently in Sen
ate debate occurred when that
Presidents chief military ad-
wiser was Gen. Eisenhower.
Congress is nevertheless
UNDERSTANDABLE nervous about
mounting deficits. 1t is now
on notice that the Treasury
wants to raise the legal debt
limit and it remembers only
too we'll all those taxes which
automatically expire in Janu-
ary.
The Presidents judgment
that the cuts were safe there
fore triumphed. To be con-
Evening star., 1953-07-23

But for some reason or other,
the administration appears
wary of formal guarantees to
Mr.. Rhee.
Yet in the report issued in
1851 by the Republican Senate
leaders. they said that "any
peace short of the liberation
and unification of Korea is a
delusion. Any settlement at
the 38th Parallel is a Commu-
mist victory. To make a settle
ment south of the Yalu River
is to admit the success Of the
Chinese aggreSSors.
These views were expressed
by the G. o. P. Senators not
in the heat of q political cam
paign or patriotic rally. They
were the result of serious
thinking during the lengthy
Macarthur hearings. The
Democrats, then holding con-
troll of the Senate, issued no
report at all. But the fact
that they offered no rebuttal
to the minority's report sug-
gests that. while they did not
wish to embarrass their own
administration, they agreed
generally with the conclusions
of their Republican colleagues.
Much water has run under
the political bridges since that
August two years ago. But
nothing new had been said by
the Republican leadership to
lead the South Korean Presi-
dent to think that the political
party which had shown itself
so understanding of his prob
lens has altered its views.
Syngman Rhee, like many Of
Americas friends in the Far
East. has been aware that
the Eisenhower administration
must be mindful of the alli-
ances IN Europe and the ne
ceSsity for keeping these brittle
friendships going. But Mr..
Rhee apparently also believes
that the American people, who
are footing all the bills in cash
and blood, have more collec-
tive political sense than their
leaders.
Evening star., 1953-07-23

the fact remains that Syng-
man Rhee is merely holding
out for his sovereign right to
wait and see-to decide at the
end of six months whether any
progress is being made and
to go ahead then with any
measures that he believes will
precipitate a settlement. He
still thinks it's an armistice
and not a peace treaty being
determined at Panmunjom.
Once an armistice is signed.
the public opinion of the al
lied countries, which is ready
for peace at any price or ap-
peasement-anything to get it
over with-will not be inter-
ested in a resumption of fight
ing, and the leverage that
Syngman Rhee has today will
be gone. Hence he has been
making his valiant effort to
get something more tangible
from the allies, who concede
they will be deserting him. He
did agree to "collaborate" and
to "abide by the terms of the
armistice." and would faith
fully observe his promise, but
not forever. That's why he re-
served the right to take inde-
pendent action, and now
America grants that he mas
that empty right.
So the tragic story of Korea
will soon have another igno-
minious chapter to record
when the United Nations
walked up the hill with the
flag of idealism flying proudly
and then marched down, re-
treating from the principle
established in it's resolution of
october z, 1850, and denounc-
ing military victory" as a
modern delusion and as never
having been the objective in
the first place. It will be hard
to explain all this to the par
ents and relatives of the 25. 600
American boys who are dead
or TO the next of kin of the
more than 100000 who were in
the casualty lists as wounded
or missing in action in Korea.

ROK Stand Is Misunderstood
Korean President and the u S. Department of Stote
Hove Been To!knq About Two Different Things
David Lawrence

1t is easy to see why Presi-
dent Rhee of the independent
Republic of Korea and the
United Nations agent-the
American State Department
misunderstood one another.
They have all along been talk
ing about two different things.
The United States-under
orders from Great Britain and
other allies engaged in the
f1ghting-is talking about a
peace treaty or agreement
without military coercion, and
Syngman Rhee is talking about
an armistice which either side
can at any time terminate
when the palaver gets too
long-drawn-out and there's no
sign of a willingness on the
part Of the Communists to
agree to any unif1cation of
Korea.
To the credit of President
Eisenhower and Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles, it
must be noted that they con-
cur 100 per cent with the con-
cept which permits liberty of
action to the Republic of
Korea if the political con-
ference" should fail. But they
do not at the same time give
Rhee any assurance that they
will stand by him with mill
tary support of any kind if
he ever tries to exercise his
independent rights. At that
moment the U. N. will evi-
IDENTIFY be through with the
Korean adventure and will not
fight again. The war will be
over, and the Communists
know now that they can talk
on indefinitely and there will
be no pressure of a military
nature placed upon them. This
vital information unfortunate
ly was disclosed in Gen. Eli
senhower's original letter to
Syngman Rhee, when it was
unnecessarily proclaimed that
the United Nations would
never fight to unity Korea.

Scouts Packing Gear

JAMBOREE CITY, Calf, July

who for a week have been kick
ing up dust on this 3,000-acre
ranch officially end the third
national jamboree tonight, but
it will take four days to move
every one out by special trains,
buses and automobiles.
Boys began to strike their
tents and stow their gear, but
the general jamboree activity
was undiminished. AS usual,
almost half the camp went
ocean swimming in relays. The
favorite jamboree sport of swap
ping continued at the same
feverish pitch.
Rehearsals were being COM
pleted for the big closing show,
"Scouting's Trail to the Future, I"
in the outdoor arena. This pro-
duction. put on by the Scouts
themselves, is designed to tell in
pageantry and narration the
story of the jamboree on this
vast ranch.
There will be flashbacks Of
the jamboree week that is COM
ing to an end. AS a finale, the
great crowd will sing "Auld Lang
Syne" and the 1853 jamboree
will be history.

by Secretary Dulles in which
he comedies the ultimate right
of the Republic of Korea to "go
it alone" is as follows:
President Rhee has sought
various assurances from the
United States and has re-
served his governments posi-
ton in the event of a collapse
Of the political talks which will
follow an armistice. This, we
believe, he is entitled to do"
But what can he do? He can
plunge his armies into the
fray at the end of six months
and go down fighting for a uni
fled country. The United Ma
tions command. on the other
hand, has told the Chinese
Communists-according to the
Peiping radio statement last
week end-that there is no
time limit on the armistice.
This could mean, of course,
that any party violating it
would be guilty of "aggres-
SION"
The United Nations COM
mand, moreover, now has as
sured the Communist negotia-
tors that the Republic of Ko-
rea would be given no assist
ance in the event of "any ag-
gressive action" Likewise, the
Foreign Ministers of Great
Britain, the United States and
France announced last week
that they had agreed to re-
sumo fighting in Korea in the
event of aggression. But
what's aggression? Only a de-
Walton from the armistice mil
itary line. 1t assures the per-
petuation of the line dividing
Korea.
IhlS means a Stalemate.
What Syngman Rhee is in
terested in is not assur-
ances against aggression but
against stagnation-indefinite
and unlimited. This he evi-
IDENTIFY will not be given, and
that's a clear victory for the
Communist side.
Despite all the talk about
breaking a truce or armistice.
