This Cleanup, Paint-up, Fix-up
Drive is one in which it is well to
keep up with the Joneses. One yard
gets raked and cleaned soon
another follows suit. One house is
repaired soon another hears
the sound of hammer or saw. One
house is painted :. soon the
brushes are busy on another. So
it goes through the neighborhood,
along the street, helping the city's
"face-lifting project. For one we
can approve of keeping up with
the Joneses,"

duke Franz Josef of Austria took
the stand yesterday to testify
against his Sister-il-law in Q
million-dollar suit over the sale
of ancestral pro oerties Of the
royal house Of .Hapsbure.
Franz Josef. who came here
from Europe to testify, identified
a paper he signed giving his sis
ter-in-law Ileana and hel hus-
band. Archduke Anton power Of
attorney over the properties.
The family holdings included
about 10000 acres, including
farms, forests, palaces, castles
and contents. The property Was
left to Franz Josef, Anton and a
third brother Carlos. who died
recently, by their mother, the
Archduchess Blanca.
Claim He Was Paid.

tended that, to prevent Nazi
confiScation of Franz Josef's
property, it was transferred 70
Anton in 1943 and that Franz
Josef was fully compensated"

terday when the trial was re-
sumed after a January % adj

Ileana had taken anything"

stein Castle in Austria for about
$4,000. Franz Josef claims it
was worth much more.

not served on him, leaving Ileana
the sole defendant before the
court here.

one penny less than $950,OO0 1t

Choice Is Narrowed
Instead of Widened

Instead of greater freedom
of choice. does this decision
to rely primarily on atomic
weapons really narrow our
choice as to the means and
the places of retaliation? Are
we leaving ourselves the grim
choice of inaction or a thermo-
nuclear holocaust? Are we,
indeed inviting Moscow and
Peiping to nibble us to death?
This is the real danger. This
is the real problem. Will we
turn brush fires and local hos
tilities into major conflicts?
Will our allies go along?
Using weapons short of war,
and relying upon our intelli-
gence to embark on global
war, the Communist imperial
ism will attempt to absorb
country after country. to close
the ring around us. and to de-
eide the issue between tyranny
and freedom long before a final
outburst of atomic fury.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-03-07

It seems to me that the new
weapons-eyen If we had a
complete monopoly-are no
answer to all the complicated
aspects of this world wide
struggle, for armed aggression
is only one of the many shapes
of the Communist menace,
And the only thing new about
the new look" appears to be
the weakening of our Navy and
ground forces and reducing the
non<atomic programs and pol
icies that we need to win the
cold war.
Was the administration
caught between two conflict
ing sets of promises-to reduce
the budget and strengthen our
defenses? Did it choose the
former because the one thing
that could not be cut, the sine
qua non of our security, was
the new weapons and air
power?

partisanship in the formulation
Of policy in matters of such
grave import as this is impos-

to know the facts and the
truth unadorned. If our mill
tary policy is beyond the
further financial endurance of
the country, if this reliance on
retaliation is the only reason
able policy for the long haul,
then frankly tell us so and why.
But don't confuse us and
brighten our allies by mis-
branding disengagement as ad-
vance and retrenchment as in
itiative. Don't tell us we have
something new and better for
less, when we haven't.

New Look Unveiled
As Economy Borqoin

At all events, without the
benefit Of bi-partisanship, the
administration has recently
unveiled this new look" 1t
has been presented to us as a
program of more for our
money. "a bigger bag for a
buck" national security in the
large economy size.
While 1 don't presume to
understand its full implica-
tons, they are SOLDERING enough
to require searching. RESPONSE
BILE discussion. The back
ground of any evaluation of
this new program must be
stern realization that the peril
of the free world is not dimin-
iShing.
1t is in that spirit-and in
no spirit of partisan relish
that l offer comment tonight.
We are told, and I am quot
ing the words of Secretary
Dulles. that we have rejected
the traditional" policy of
meeting aggression by direct
and local opposition" We have
taken the decision Ito depend
primarily upon a great capac-
ity to retaliate instantly. by
means and places of our choos-
ing" But some "setbacks to the
cause of freedom" some
Comm unist successes. Mr..
Dulles says, should be regarded
as normal"
All this means. if it means
anything. that if the Commu-
niStS try another Korea We will
retaliate by dropping atom
bombs on Moscow or Peiping or
wherever we choose-or else
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-03-07

we will concede the loss of an
other Korea-and presumably
other countries after that--as
normal" in the course Of
events.
Is this a new look" or is it
a return to the pre-1950
atomic deterrent strategy
which made some sense as long
as we had a monopoly Of
atomic weapons together with
"a strategic Air Force. Yet even
then it didn't deter attack and
brought us to the brink of
disaster in Korea where atom
bombs were useless, and we
were only saved by heroic ex-
ertion to recreate conventional
ground forces.
But you say. we did not use
the bomb against Russian and
Chinese targets for fear of
enlarging the war. Exactly:
and if we should now use them
in retaliation that way it would
certainly mean World War III
and atomic CONFERENCE.-THE
ton. For the Russians have
massive power of retaliation
with atomic weapons just as
we do, and our cities are also
susceptible to destruction.
And if air-atomic power is
our policy, what are we doing
to build up the Air Force,
let alone continental defense?
Last year they cut the Air
Force SIS billion below PreSi-
dent Truman's request and
said it would actually
strengthen the armed forces.
Which reminds me of Sena-
tor Russells remark: why
not cut out $40 billion and
double our strength"
This year they partially re-
stored the Air Force cut, but
reduced the amount for air.
craft procurement, and cut the
Army over 81 billion. 1t seems
to me ironic that the same
men who a few months ago
were impulsively sIashing the
planned Air Force build-up are
now, with equal impulsiveness, I,
acting as if air-atomic power
were a completely satisfactory
substitute for reduced military
and naval power.
Another question: What II
We are confronted with some
thing less than a clear case OF
overt aggression?
What if we had relied ex-
clusively on apolicW of mas
sive retaliation" since the close
of World War II? Would we
have resorted to global atomic
war in order to meet the Com
munist threat in Greece and
Turkey? To counter the Ber-
lin Blockade? To resist ag-
erosion in Korea?
If the answer is no, then the
so-called new look" in foreign
policy is no new look" at all.
but merely a continuation of
the policy of adapting our
methods of resistance to the
method of attack-a policy
that has brought the free
world through many crises
without precipitating a Mar

Strength of Freedom

freedom, in the fortitude and

only in the humility of all men

nestle disorder but rising from
the love and faith and devo-
