Hearings
0NE> GENERAL told Con-

nNE, GENERAL told Con-
" gress about one army last
week, but it sometimes sounded
like two different generals talk
ing about two different armies.
Gen. James A.. Van Fleet re-
turned from the Korean battle
front to report to Congress on
his old command. He talked
first to the House Armed Serv-
ices and Foreign Affairs Com
mittees. When asked about
reports of ammunition Short
ages, he assured the Congress-
men the 9th Army was the best
equipped army the United
States had ever flelded. There
are no shortages of a serious
nature" he said, adding the
truism that no army ever had
enough"
1--WE have complete suprem-
acy in fire power" he
testified.
The following day Gen. Van
Fleet talked to the Senate
Armed Services Committee.
This time he testified that he
had been seriously handi-
capped by an ammunition
shortage during the entire %
months he was in Korea; that
sometimes his men were even
short of hand grenades; that
protection of American troops
was made more difficult. and
that he had reported the
shortages almost daily through
channels.
After this statement. Senator
Byrd of Virginia sent hot
note to Secretary of Defense
Wilson demanding to know
why nothing had been done
about the shortages and asking
who in the Pentagon was re-
SponSible.
The Committee Immediately
found itself with a major in
vestigation on it's hands. The
general was recalled to testify
the next day. He stuck by his
lack Of guns. Ammunition
shortages still make an artil-
lery offensive impossible. he
said. (Other information has it
that we fire 10 rounds to the
Communists -. Chairman
Saltonstall said Wilson. Army
Secretary Stevens and Gen.
j. Lawton Collins. Army Chief
of Staff, would be called to
testify Tuesday.
In a letter written to Sem
ator Saltonstall after Gen.

tary Wilson said there was

East to counter any enemy

was top banana again last
week. For the umpteenth time
he had been the principal
target in a three-way fight for
power. But bobbing and weav-
ing-and weeping-he rode out
Of the conflict.
The mobs, inspired by his re-
ligious-fanatic rival. Mullah
Kashani. by the Communist
Tudeh Party and by the
Shah's palace guard, chased
the pajama-clad Premier into
the sanctuary of the Parlia-

But he came back strongly.

and louder. showed the other
factions who was boss. DR..
Mossadegh was soon able to
order an end to the riots. He
fired his army chief of staff,
whom he blamed for letting
things get out of hand in the
first place. .,.
The Premier then turned
back to the negotiations with
United States Ambassador 10y
Henderson over the confiscated
British-owned oil industry in
Iran. They were discussing
what the British said was their
final offer. The terms were un-
disclosed.

No. insisted Mr.. Harris, he
had long since abandoned
them.
Hebrew Broodcosts
1t subsequently was charged
by witnesses that Mr.. Harris
had ordered Hebrew broad
casts to Israel dropped. This.
witnesses said. was part Of a
pattern Of obstacles thrown in
the path of the Voice. Mr..
Harris replied that the Hebrew
broadcasts were not paying off
and that something had to be
curtailed for economy reasons.
Then the Senator and Mr..
Harris argued, before the TV
audiences. over the fairness Of
the hearings. The witness said
the questions were loaded with
unfounded innuendo and that
he was not afforded the legal
projections always given wit
nesses and defendants in for
NAL trials. Senator Mccarthy
said Mr.. Harris was not on
trial, but that he was being
given more freedom to present
his side Of the case than a
trial defendant would get.
Mr.. Harris then charged that
the investigation was UNDER
mining Americas position in
the world forum of ideas.
The Bell Rings
That statement appeared to
nave rung the bell at the White
House. At least President
Eisenhower indicated at a
press conference that he might
step into the controversy If a
congressional investigation ap-
peared to be leading to inter-
national misunderstanding and
difficulties.
The President also said he
had not decided whether to ac-
cede to Senator McCarthy's

tented himself with juggling
some cabinet and subcabinet
posts to get rid of persons he
thought disloyal to him.

And Points West

Democrats who gleefully
collect examples of mixed sig
mails in the new administration
had another one to display
last week. This time the sub
ject was tidelands (See Page
ABB.
President Eisenhower had
said during the campaign that
the coastal States owned the
so-called tidelands, the OIL
rich undersea lands. Con-
gress, he said, should approve
a bill making State ownership
clear. The Supreme Court
had ruled that the Federal
Government had paramount
rights" in the tidelands.
But last week when Attor-
ney General Herbert Brownell,
jr., presumably an adminiStra-
ton spokesman. went to the
Hill to testify on tidelands he
had a new pitch. Don't con-
cede Ownership" to the
States, he said, just give the
States authority to develop
the natural resources under
their adjacent oceans.
The State Department also
had words of caution. Jack
B. Tate, deputy legal adviser
and also presumably an ad-
ministration spokesman. asked
Congress not to recognize
State claims extending more
than three miles to sea. The
tidelands bill would give
Texas. for instance, title to a
strip extending three Spanish
leagues (1012 miles) from
shore.
IF the Nation should recog-
nize the extension Of the
boundaries of any State be-
yond the three-mile limit"
Tate said. "its Identification
with the broader claim would
force abandonment of its ira
ditional position. At the same
time. it would renounce the
grounds of protest against
claims of foreign States to
greater breadthS Of territorial
waters"
Apparently the adminiStra-
ton had changed its stand on
tidelands.
But no. The following day
at his press conference, Pres
ident Eisenhower said he had
long been convinced the land

Mccarthy VS.. Harris

The free-wheeling Mccarthy
investigation Of the Voice Of
America rolled along without a
pause last week, although
President Eisenhower indicated
the time might come when he
would try to slow down the
Wisconsin Senator.
Principal witness during the
week was Reed Harris, Deputy
Director of the State Depart
ment international Informa-
ton Administration. Mr..
Harris was on the stand for
three days. First testimony
against him was this: Twenty

but favorable outcome for the

members decided to back this
amendment to the resolution:
Resolved, that the adoption
of this resolution does not con-
stitute any determination by
Congress as to the validity or
invalidity of any Of the pro-
visions of the said agreements
or understandings"
Without that amendment,
they said, the Eisenhower
resolution condemning Russia
for breaking the pacts would
imply that the pacts them
selves were legal-a thought
repugnant to Senate Repub-
licans.
; But, said the Democrats, ac-
ceptance of the amendment
would imply that the United
States doubted the legality Of
the agreements. # they were
illegal then we would have no
grounds upon which to criticize
Russia for breaking them.
A Close Vote
The Foreign Relations Com
mittee approved the resolu-
ton with the G. o. P. amend
ment tackled on. But the vote
was close. eight to six. and
almost party-line. Only Guy
Gillette. Iowa Democrat, broke
party ranks.
This obviously was not the
unanimity and bipartisanship
Mr. Dulles had wanted. Fur
thermore, both Democrats and
Republicans were determined
to stand by their guns. That
would mean a narrow Repub-
ican victory on the Senate
floor. or. possibly, a narrow
upset Democratic victory. Eli
ther would be worse than
nothing, from the admins
tration's point of view.
The Senate took the only
way out last week. The lead
ership decided that action on
the resolution would not be
appropriate at this time in view
of the death of Stain. There
were many guesses that the
resolution would lie forgotten
for some time.
