From Danube to YoIu With Mark Clark
By Edrl H. Voss

= EN-. MARK CLARK. who signed
~ the truce in Korea, believes the
United States should never, never
again be mousetrapped into fight
ing another defensive ground war on
that peninsula
More important, he says we now
should get our troops out of Korea re-
gardleSS of whether the Chinese Reds
withdraw theirs.
He also has recommendations for
American goals at Geneva:
"At any Korean political conference
or elsewhere. let us first seek agree
ment on the simultaneous withdrawal
of Chinese and U. N. troops from Korea
in reasonably short time"
He believes that the Republic of
Korean military establishment, with
proper logistic support and its fighting
heart, could -. withstand any attack
by purely North Korean troops"
He is aware the South Koreans might
decide to "go for broke" but says: "I
doubt that they would if we made it
Enthusiastically clear that any such at
tempt would brand them as. aggressors
before the world. and Korea would get
not cartridge for its military nor a
penny Tor its rehabilitation"
Gen. Clark also has grim warning:
South Korea might try to drag us
back into another stalemated ground
war in Korea. The ROKs have the
capabllity of creating a small incident
that would involve us without warning
IN another shooting police action
This we must avoid at all COSTS"
This Is another reason Gen. Clark
advocates prompt withdrawal of United
States troops.
Occasion for these well-tlmed dis
closures of Gen. Clark's thinking about
Korea is the release today of his book.
From the Danube to the Ydlu" (Har-
per & Brothers. written with the help
of Howard Handleman, veteran Far
Eastern correspondent.
Gen. Clark makes it clear that he
had every sympathy for Gen. Douglas
MacArthur's demands that the United
States fight the Korean war to win.
But he implies criticism of his prede-
cessor as United Nations commander
for failure to bow to civilian authority.
Gen. Clark also favorS the formation
of a PATIO Pacific Treaty Organiza-
tom, but larger one than Secretary
OF State Dulles has been talking about
with the British and French. Gen.
Clark would include Korea and Ma
tionalist China. and he goes so far as
to recommend Okinawa or some nearby
place as headquarters for PATIO.
This is the first book to be written
by SO high principal in the last
crucial phases of the fighting and
truce-making in Korea, and as such is
notable for the light it sheds on many
important decisions taken IN 1852 and
1858.
Obviously disappointed at President
elect Elsenhowers decision to try for a
truce rather than to try to win the
war in Korea, Gen. Clark believes that
war should never be entered into with
out determination to fight it through
to victory. Otherwise. he says. more

Hornessinq Old Sol

Scientists of the Bell Telephone Labora-
tories have brought the world at least little
bit nearer-possibly very much nearer-to the
day when the virtually boundless energy of the
sun may be harnessed on vast scale to satisfy
the peacetime power needs of mankind every
where. This is an old, old dream, of course,
but now there is far more substance to it than
ever beforehand all because of magical
little gadget that fits easily into the palm of
ones hand.
The gadget, Bells newest product, is the
first apparatus of its kind in history. Made of
razor-thin strips of Scon-which comes from
common sand-it is solar battery capable of
converting sunlight directly and efficiently into
usable electricity. In its present small expert
mental form, it is effective enough-aS DEM
onstrated here on Monday before the National
Academy of Sciences-to run miniature
motorized ferris wheel and to operate a
variety of other Devices including small radio
tranSmitters.
AS explained by the Bell experts this
development-whichis is expected to be put to
early practical use in rural telephone systems
means that there is now available an instru-
ment that can harness the suns power at a
rate of so watts per square yard of surface. BY
way of contrast, the so-called atomic battery
recently produced by the Radio Corporation of
America has thus far succeeded in converting
radioactive strontium into only -millionth
of watt, or so million times less than the
power that be snatched from Old Sol by
the little silicon invention.
Does all this mean that the time is just
around the corner when the Sun-inStead of
coal, oil, falling water atomic materials
will be the fuel of giant plants producing cleo
trical power? The answer is mo" But there
is good reason to believe that the development
of the solar battery, plus the theoretical and
experimental work that has gone into it, repre-
sents a decidedly significant advance in that
drection-an advance that may we'll have
revolutionary effects in the lifetime of our
children.
After all, this is an age of immense Won
ders, and as it is by no means inconceivable
that man. with his God-given genius will be
able one day-perhaps with surprising rapidity
to wrest a great measure of electrical power
from the sum- which each day radiateS on our
earth more than a quadrillion kiowatts OF
energy Certainly, if humanity succeeds in
doing that, and if it does not at the same time
figure out how to make a Super-coSmic solar
bomb, the world will have the wherewithal to
enter upon it's most productive era since
Creation.

Recorders Office Procedure

I read with considerable interest the
letter of F. j. De Moll, April "a. He
states: "It appears to me that there
is something wrong in the procedure
of the Recorder of Deeds Office when
people can illegally file deeds of trust
in the Recorders office, without the
appearance there and the signature of
the real owners of the property"
In reply, I should like to point out
that the procedure of recording in the
Recorder of Deeds Office, D. c., is COM
parable to that of most Jurisdictions in
the United States. Throughout the
United States legal instrument may
be presented for recording by any in
dividual. The factors governing its ac-
ceptance for record are that it shall
be properly executed and notarized in
conformity with the provisions of law
for the respective jurisdiction.

New Attack on Druq Problem

An attack on the illicit drug problem can
be opened in an entirely new sector, now that
Congress has passed legislation needed to begin
the Districts program for compulsory hospital
lzation of addictS. The late start on the new
offensive was the result of a combination of
legislative errors. When Congress first author
lied the compulSory-treatment plan, the fact
that Federal hospitals were not empowered to
participate was overlooked. And when remedial
legislation was passed by the House at the
previous session, a technicality prevented
Senate approval of the measure from becoming
effective. Only at this late date has everything
been Strengthened out.
The delay had one beneficial result, how
ever AS a Second-thought development, the
Senate amended the House bill so as to give
District courts supervision of addicts for two
years after their discharge from public
service institution. This will mean the return
to District Court jurisdiction of addicts who
may have criminal charges pending against
them. Thus, an addict who is committed for
hospital treatment under the new law will not
escape trial for any offenses which may have
been charged against him. The House readily
agreed to the Senate amendment.
Eventually the District will have to provide
Its own facilities for treating dope addicts
under the commitment act. Meanwhile, the
courts will be able to send victims of the crime
breeding habit to Federal hospitals in Kentucky
and Texas where good results have been re-
ported in rehabilitating addicts This should
deprive the dope peddlers in Washington of
many of their degraded customers. 1t may be
that a real depression will hit the narcotics
racket before long.

Gen. Clark favors the bold approach
in dealing with the Communists. He
has rebukes for policymakers from the
early postwar days on. He also raises
the question of the loyalty of some of
Americas top policymaker, mainly
because Of the way in which he re-
ceived some of his most crucial assign
mentS. He reports:
Two Secretaries of State. Byrnes
and Marshall, had told me that their
names were signed to some important
messages to me without their knowl-
edge" He emphasizes that the mes
sages were not routinely important,
either.
Later, he said, at high-level con-
ferenceS, THE nagging fear was that
perhaps Communists had wormed their
way so deeply into our Government on
both the working and planning levels
that they were able to exercise an in
ordinate degree of power in shaping
the course of America in the dangerous

GAS one who previously support

be DONE"
Wilson said the manpower pro-
gram as now planned calls for
double system of induction through
the selective service. Most young
men - nearly 100000 a year at
the current rate - would be draft
ed for two years of active duty,
then go into the organized reserve.
Then, to build UP the reserve, an
other $4,000 to 100000 would be
inducted for a four to six-month
basic training period and then auto
matically become members of the
ready reserve.
There would be two major dis
tinctions between the short and
longer term draftees:
1. The short-termers would not
classify as veterans" according
to the latest Pentagon thinking,
and thus would not qualify for
most veterans benefits.
2. The 24-month selectees would
spend less time in the organized
reserves while the short-termers
would be on call for emergency
active duty for a year or two
longer.
Wilson said the new program
was intended to induce men 10
stay in uniform longer. He spoke
in terms of pay increase amount
ing to from 3 to per cent, costing
up to 600 million dollars year.
Pentagon aides said the raise
might exclude men who serve only
the minimum two years, leaving
more money to be given longer
