Gen. Van Fleet Is Corroboruted
Former Chief of 10th Army Corps Says Generals Testimony
Before Investigators Is 100 Per Cent Correct
David Lawrence:

Congress has only scratched
the surface of the ammunition
scandal of the Truman admin
istration and, despite the buck
passing and the attempts to
cover up, the truth is bound to
come out.
Today this correspondent
presents "a copy of a telegram
just sent by 1t. Gen. Edward
M. Almond to Gen. James A.
Van Fleet backing up the lat
ter'S charges.
Gen. Almond, who retired on
February / and is, therefore.
in a position now to speak
freely, was commander of the
10th Army Corps in Korea
from the time of the Inchon
landing on September is, 1850,
until July. 1851. Since Gen.
Van Fleet took command on
April IA, 1851, and Gen. Al
mond left Korea on July Is,
1851 their terms Of service
overlapped for several months.
Here is the text of the tele-
gram to Gen. Van Fleet from
Gen. Almond:
Hearty congratulations on
your magnificent testimony, as
reported in the press, before
Congress on the military stu
alton in Korea. Your honest
and correct interpretations of
conditions there have served to
enlighten the people of our
country and to confound and
to debate the cancellations
and equivocations made by
those who have tried to dis
credit your statements. I know
the facts to be as you have
stated them from the begin
ming Of the Korean conflict
until the time I left you in
July, 1851. Since my depar-
ture, my Interpretation Of in
formation corroborates your
testimony. Public statements
made by me since my retire.
ment support your views 100
per cent and I am ready at
any time to substantially sup
port your position. Your serv-
ice to our Nation has been
magnificent and your state
mentS in Congress add en-
phasis to your loyalty and pa
triotism. My best wishes to
you always as a comrade in
arms"

Mystery Over Mccarthy Report
Document Has Entered Rore-Book Category, With None
Apparently Available to Congress or the Public

Such resolutions are nor
mally a mere formality. The
Senators are all too well aware
that informality to the point
of verbal mayhem would prob
ably surround such a resolution
on the Mccarthy report, even
if any Senator had the nerve
to make it.
Senator Mccarthy himself
originally threatened to revive
the report by demanding that
it be recalled and revised to do
justice to his executive assist
ant whose finances were de-
scribed at some points as en-
tangled with his own. Moth
ing has been heard of this late
ly. OF course, If the report
were revised, even to suit the
Senator. it would have to be
reprinted.
One copy Of the report
seems to be very safe indeed
the one that the Hennings
subcommittee forwarded to the
Justice Department. A firm
mo comment" is the answer
to questions concerning 1t. It
is Of course improbable that
the Executive branch will act
against a Senator when the
Senate will not.

closing days Of the last Con-
gress, says that he cannot shed
much light on the story Of how
it has entered the rare-book
category. |
His recollection is positive
that every Senator received 9
copy. 1--WE made sure of that
before releasing it to the
press" he recalls. Reporters
got them only after page boys
reported that they had taken
a copy to the Office Of every
Senator. old and new"
The Missouri Democrat con-
coded that he had mailed out
some copies Of the report on
request but he is sure that he
did not make much of a dent
in the 2'500-copy run.
The indifference Of all Sem
ators to the problem of sat-
isfying any unsatisf1ed public
curiosity about what Senate
investigators learned concern
ing Senator Mccarthy can
only be described as colossal.
1t is possible, of course. to print
more Mccarthy reports but
this must be done by concur
rent resolution Of the House
and Senate.

Constantine Brown:

viii Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer suggest a direct
agreement with the United
States to rearm Germany in
accordance with the European
Defense Community when he
arrives in Washington early
next month? This is a ques-
ton which is stirring wide
speculation in official circles in
the Capital.
AS things stand at present,
the issue Of the edo is hope
lessly deadlocked and no early
solution is in sight.
The German Chancellor
hopes to win Bundestag ratif1-
cation Of the Paris treaty be-
fore he leaves for Washington.
He earnestly wants to speed up
the creation Of a German army
of IL divisions as provided in
that treaty which has already
been ratified by our Senate.
Frances Premier Rene Mayer
and her Foreign Minister
Georges Bidault, who will ar
rive in Washington later this
month, will do. their utmost
to Offset such an understand
ing. They are up against
strong opposition in their own
Parliament to the rearmament
Of the German republic al
though it Is intended to bolster
the deficient NATO armies.
Mr.. Bidault is expected to
urge the American Govern
ment to make another attempt
to meet with the new men in
the Kremlin in an effort to
solve the East-WeSt conflict in
Europe. He is one of the
French political men who is
more suspicious of Germany
than Of the U. s. S. r. The
foreign-policy heads of both
these neighboring republics are
anxious to see the MSA in
creased instead of curtailed, al
though their approaches to an
effective defense of Western
Europe are far apart.
Chancellor Adenauer rep
resents the German demo-
cratic groups who are highly
suspicious of Moscow. He has
advocated for the last three
years a Western European fed
Grafton as the best answer to
the Kremlin's aggressiveness.
Since the fall of the French
governments Of MeSSrS. Pinay
and Schuman these hopes
have been dashed.
Adenauer, who will have to
face the German electorate
this summer, fears that he will
be overthrown by the Social
lists headed by DR.. Olenauer
unless he returns to Germany
with some concrete agreement
with the United States.
Adenauer has pointed out to
American officials who have
visited him in Bonn that the
Olenauer Socialists might con-
ceivably look sympathetically
to the Soviet proposals for a
unity Of Western and Eastern
Germany, provided the re-
integrated Reich breaks away
from any political association
with the West. The Soviet
proposals contained in a note
to the Bonn government still
stand. In these proposals the

War by Diplomatic C|umsiness
Unlike Stain. Moenkov Must Gain or Save Face,
And the Process Could Lead to World War Ill
Dorothy Thompson:

AS I travelled around the
country during Stains last
illness and death, the reac-
tions expressed in the press
and over the radio depressed
me. It did not seem to me
that we were behaving as the
worlds strongest power" but
by indulging, rather, in child

wishful thinking, were Great
ing the impression that our
future and that Of the world
depended wholly on what
Russia might now do-as
though nothing the United
States might do would in any
way influence the course Of
events.
This historical attitude Of
hoping for a miracle-that the
Soviet Union might now be-
gin to crack up-had nothing
whatever to support it. The
British and Continental Euro
pean press were much more
sober and level-headed.
Our relations with the So

ment. The Budget Bureau.
which presumably had the
Presidents approval. took this
position about not, budgeting
for q possible or probable con-
tinuance Of the Korean war.
Then 1t was unpopular to de-
prive the American consumer
public Of anything. so we went
right on manufacturing auto
m o biles. refrigerators and
everything else. instead Of
manufacturing these things we
needed to fight with in Korea
and to create q real defense in
Europe.
"As I see it. it is the policy Of
too little and too late that
was wrong. The point is that
we have been at war for two
and a half years and have this
big Russian military threat
hanging over Europe. and so
threatening us also. And we
are the one country in the
world that can certainly sue
coed in production, but we just
haven't done it fast enough"
What do the GIs think Of all
this?
In q letter to this CORE
spondent received today, a lady
writes about her brothers boy
who had come home from
Korea covered with medals and
purple heart decorations:
Nov that he is at home and
in college, his only bitterness is
when he gets talking about
how all his buddies got killed
right before his eyes and how
they wouldn't have been If they
only had some ammunition.
MY younger son is on an
ammunition ship plying up
and down both coasts Of Korea
rearming the carriers and
battleShips.
1.-THE day your article came
out, we got a letter from him
saying his ship went into some
little town to give a load Of
ammunition to some Army unit
that had gotten stranded there
with absolutely nothing"
The point is that the soldiers
in Korea have for many
months been writing home
about the shortage Of ammuni-
ton in Korea. They knew it.
The enemy probably knew it
because attacks were sporadic.
But the American people
haven't known the truth-and
If it were not for the sometimes
condemned system of congress
sional investigations, they
wouldn't know about 1t yet.

ton. In a copyrighted inter-
view in "U. 8. News & World
Report" this week. Mr.. Voor-
hees says:
1--WE have gone into this Ko-
rean war. for instance, with.
out either any budgetary or
production plan for it. It was
assumed budgetwise, and
therefore productionwise, that
the Korean war would end by
July /, 1851. But the war got
rather obstinate and tempera-
mental and declined to end. so
they extended its life to July
/, 1852. The war was still
stubborn, so its lease Of life
was extended by the United
States planners until July 1,
1858. That was, ] believe, one
reason for this cutback which
was made in United States
production announced early
last December. The net re-
suit has been that the Korean
war remains alive and hungry
for military equipment and
supplies, and that we have just
kept taking things that were
produced for Europe and have
shipped them to Korea.
"And nobody can criticize
our military people for doing
that when our fighting men in
Korea were short Of these
arms. But we can criticize
the failure to plan to carry
on a war we are already in,
so that our men will have the
equipment and supplies to
fight it. There is certainly
high support for such a state
ment since President Eisen-
hover came back from Korea
and made q general reference

over there that would have to
be corrected. But the shortage,
it seems to me, was not due
to the Army's failure to buy
what was needed, but to the
Budget Bureaus decision not
to let the Army budget and
procure on a scale which
would see the Korean war
through without diverting to
Korea equipment and supplies
produced for our allies in Eu-
rope. :"
