a result of the Churchill sug-
gestion. What kind of terms
the British Prime Minister and
the American President can
maintain with each other
probably will depend on how
well they understand each
others political headaches.
It is not at all surprising
that Churchill should seize the
opportunity to suggest the
high-level meeting. He has al
ways liked the face-to-face-
approach which served him so
well with Mr.. Roosevelt.
From the beginning Of the
trouble with Russia, the Brit
ish have consistently taken
the point of view that all
overtures must be accepted as
made in good faith until events
proved the contrary. In Brit
1sh opinion, the latest Korean
offer seems reasonable enough.
The developments here which
irked them are various but
they center on trade.
British correspondents have
reported that the Eisenhower
administration is not making
a strong case even for the
one-year extension of the
reciprocal trade agreements.
Their feeling is shared by
members of Congress who con-
tend that only powerful pres
idential leadership in the ma
tional interest can overcome

SEOUL, May 12.-One thou

today overran Outpost Texas and
two other allied strong points
in Central Korea, but counter
attacking South Koreans drove
the Reds back to their own lines.
The battle shattered a week.

battle front.
ROK infantrymen said at least
ITS Chinese were killed.
The Chinese swarmed out of
their bunkers and hit Texas and
four other outposts behind a
heavy artillery and mortar bar
rage, the 9th Army said.
The ROKs lost Texas and two
other outpoSts in two hours Of
savage fighting, at times hand
to-hand. South Korean infan-
trymen still clung to the two
other hills when the counterat-
tack smashed the Red assault,
the Army said.
Rain and overcast grounded
most allied warplanes.
It was the third straight day
that poor flying weather ham,
pered aerial strikes against the
Communists. The Fifth Air Force
said only II Of it's planes bombed
Red targets in the night.
Fourteen B-29 Super Forts
from Okinawa bases bombed a
270-acre installation at Noha,
18 miles west Of Kyompio, Mon
day night. Clouds prevented
observation of damage.
The Army disclosed that the
United States 25th Infantry Di-
vision has replaced the 1st
Marine Division in the key Pan
munjom sector, 35 miles north
of Seoul. The 25th moved in
early this month.
The Marines had held the
sector on the extreme western
front for 13 months. The area
has the most fiat ground and
low hills on the entire 155-mile
battle front and would be a
key spot for an offensive by the
9th Army.

The courts have said that
the power of congressional
committees to ask questions
is unlimited. but the power to
compel the furnishing of
books and records is protected
in personal instances not only
for newspapermen but for all
individuals, whether or not
they are engaged in publish
ing. Where a corporation is
concerned. on the other hand,
it can be compelled to submit
anything or everything to an
investigating committee Of
Congress, and it is not pro-
tected by free speech or any
other constitutional provision
according to Supreme Court
decisions. The Truman ad-
ministration used this blanket
power again and again with
out any protest from the left
wing.
incidentally. when the IA
nous Teapot Dome scandal was
being aired by q Senate COM
mittee back in the l920s, a
Western newspaper editor was
involved In certain aspects of
it and was brought to WASH
ington to testify. But there
never was the slightest pro-
test from any group Of editors
or anybody else as to the
power of Congress to ask him
questions about 1t.
It has been reported that
the American Society of News
paper Editors has been asked
to examine the transcript of
Senator McCarthy's interro-
CATION of a newspaper editor
and to pass judgment on it
and say If it is an infringe
ment of freedom Of the press.
If such a study Is undertaken.
it would be a precedent.
Maybe If such a study is made.
it should include the Govern
ment's suits under the anti
trust laws and the present
law that says labor unions of
newspaper writer's must be
recognized by publishers. It
could delve into the phases of
the present law whereby news
paper writer's and reporters in
certain cities are compelled
to join a union at the end of
80 days or lose their jobs If
a majority of other writer's in
their Offices vote to require it
of all writer's. These questions
touch thought control" and
the freedom of the press much
more vitally than the problem
Of whether an editor who was
once engaged in Communist
adventures has or has not
thrown of his earlier COM
munist sympathies.

Moscow is reliably reported to
have made advances to them in
recent months for exchange Of
trade.
The European neutralistS-
particularly those in Britain
and in France-are ready to
Jump at that trade opportu-
unity. They are assured Of the
backing of the rank and file
Of the workers and industrial
lists who look upon East West
trade relations as the only cure
for their present problem.
Thus. they can force the hand
Of the governments now in
office to grab Moscow's olive
branch, regardless Of how
many poisonous thorns 1t may
conceal.
Our situation is quite Diff
ferent. Americas security is
threatened equally from across
the Atlantic and the Pacific.
Our European allies are con-
cerned exclusively with their
own continent. The British and
French governments intend to
fight for continued control Of
Africa and to some extent for
the Near and Middle East. But
they are interested only from a
commercial point Of view in
the Far East. And they hope
that a business understand
ing" with the U. s. S. r. might
give them a better break in
that area than the present
bootleg trade with Red China.
This explains the discreet but
nonetheless powerful pressure
on the State Department by
London and Paris to accept
any face-saving armistice in
Korea.
The Korean war, our allies
are admonishing us. has been
tnconclusive. Hence, the armi-
stice and the peace to follow
must also be inconclusive. For
nations which see no threat to
their security this appears a
logical point Of view. But most
OF our military and diplomatic
thinkers see the picture diff
ferently. A Red victory at the
green table will mean the in
evitable subsection of the
whole Of the Far East, includ-
ing Japan, to Moscow and
Peiping.
Yet despite this widespread
conviction which is said to pre-
vail in the White House, State
Department and the Pentagon,
crippling cuts in Americas air
power are now the order Of the
day.

tions to the experts in that
field.
But these experts provide us
with something less than COM
plete comfort. Some say for
one example. that we are wide
open to destruction from the
air as long as we have less than
143 air groups Of our own:
others that we can take care of
ourselves with ITO air groups.
Not knowing q group from a
wing-and maybe they are the
same-we have to leave the de-
cision to somebody else and
prepare to pay the larger or
smaller bill, whichever 1t may
be. The great threat, we are
told. is the atomic bomb. But.
while some experts. presum-
ably in position to know. say
our enemy has the bomb. some
who should be as well in
formed say only we have it.
These same differences of
opinion occur as to all parts Of
the enemy's preparedness and
purpose.
What it boils down to Is that
we are basing most of our for
eign policy and much of our
domestic policy on what we
think somebody else is up to.
It seems to be woefully mega
tive approach toward such
matters, but perhaps it's the
best we can achieve. This be-
ing so it would seem desirable
to improve our channels Of in
formation. How to 60 about
that? I don't know, but we

So we are obsessed with the

To defend ourselves against

have been reluctant to give

to consider our native demo-
cratic idea its own best defense.

New Test on Mice
Proves Cheap Way
OF Polio Diagnosis
By John McKelwoy

Two Public Health doctors
have developed a cheap, quick
method Of diagnosing polio,
which will smooth the gamma
globulin operation this summer
and give scientists a better un-
derstanding Of the tricky disease.
The doctors were able to pro-
duce, In mice. the third known
strain of polio virus-Brunhilde.
It's the type believed to cause
most of human polio.
The successful experiment was
the work of DR.. c. p. Ii and
DIR. Morris Schaeffer. both Of
the Virus and Rickettsial Lab
oratoy in Montgomery. Ala. With
this finding, all three Of the
! polio strains have been adapted
to mice in laboratories at the
National Institutes of Health in
Bethesda.
The findings has several spe-
cific results. Doctors now will
be able through a simple mouse
test. to see if a serum, such as
gamma globulin, is building up
antibodies in q patient. With
mice. instead Of expensive and
difficult to handle monkeys and
chimpanzees, the test will be
cheap and quick.
In effect, the finding provides
another simplified method that
has been needed in the polio re-
search field.
The new method will reduce
the high cost of epidemic studies.
making possible a better under
standing Of the unpredictable
way in which polio spreads.
Finally, it contributes valu-
able tool, which can be used to
see If gamma globulin, or a vac
cine, is doing any good.
One of the reasons progress
in polio research has been so
slow is partly that time-con-
suming laboratory methods are
required to study and diagnose
the disease at an almost prohibi-
tive expense.
Researchers have tried, for
some 80 years, to cultivate the
polio virus in animals other than
monkeys, or in the test tube.
