Mr.. Acheson Offers Little

In these troubled times, when Few men
would pretend to know the answers to all OF
the problems which beset us, Dean Acheson
has come forward with considerably less than
might have been expected of him.
Breaking a year of self-imposed silence,
the former Secretary of State has written an
article for the New York Times, attacking the
doctrine of massive retaliation" which was
put forward by Mr.. Dulles last January.
It is not surprising that Mr.. Acheson
should dissent from what Mr.. Dulles described
as the decision ito depend primarily upon
great capacity to retaliate, instantly, by means
and at places of our choosing" There are others
who share his doubts as to the effectiveness of
this policy in lettering Communist aggression.
1t is surprising, however, to find Mr. Ache
son denouncing unidentified persons (presum-
ably Republicans who he says, would wreck
our alliances because they distrust individual
countries with whom we are allied. One would
think that Mr.. Acheson had suffered enough
from this kind of attack during his own term
of Office. It is also surprising, and disappoint-
ing, to find him implying that our leaders"
presumably Republican leaders, have been
following the politically expedent course of en-
couraging tax cuts. Mr.. Acheson must know
that the major resistance against dangerous
tax cuts has come from the President and his
heavy pressure for greater tax cuts has come
from the Democrats in Congress.
The AcheSon attack on the Dulles pro-
nouncement was not concerned primarily how
ever, with small-tme politics His real point
of disagreement was concerned with funda-
mental policy. And it was in this respect that
his observations were most disappointing.
Mr.. Acheson says that neither the United
States nor any coalition including the United
States would meet any aggression by precipi-
tating World War III. strategic atom bomb
Ing" he concludes "is not our first but our last
resort, reserved for the dread occasion when
we must meet an about attack with the full
attendant horrors of atomic war"
Mr.. Acheson does not seek to sidestep the
implications of this statement He agrees that
as an alternative we may have to meet piece
meal or creeping aggression" with conventional
warfare-in other words, that we must be pre-
pared, at cost which he comedies will be very
great, to fight new Korean wars in still I'M
known theaters of conflict.
There is something to be said for the view
that we cannot rely exclusively on any policy
OF massive retaliation in all circumstances, and
no one in the Eisenhower administration has
ever advocated such a course. We may have to
tight "brushf1re" wars again in one part or
another of the world. But certainly we do not
have to adopt Mr.. Achesons concept of an ap-
propriate national policy-a policy which
would notify our enemies that we will not
undertake a strategic atomic attack against
them unless and until they have made an "all-
out" atomic attack upon us. To do this would
be largely to nullify the deterrent effect of our
atomic and hydrogen weapons And 1T might
verykSel serve as MI. Dulles said IN Mis- jan

Evils Of H-Bomb

Is our will to survive keeping pace
with our suicidal madness? Each
atomic explosion brings the threat Of
mankind's extinction closer. Yet in
seeking the miracle of escape from
atomic holocaust, we forget the lamp
of experience. This split-second of
total hell brings no new evil. It simply
magnifles to inf1nity the ancient evils
we have learned to endure or conquer.
There will be mass burns, mass mutila-
ton, mass chaos and mass terror and
death beyond description. We will
have no duty to the fortunate dead.
But the living will have the task of
rebuilding that which our consummate
folly destroyed. To survive the mass
disruption Of sanitation, they must be
protected against typhoid. To survive
mass burns and mutilation, they must
be protected against that ancient

uary address, to tempt the enemy ITO attack In
places where his (manpower) superiority was
decisive"
It sounds, in short, like the pronounce
ment which Mr. Acheson gave in January,
1850, in which he excluded Korea from our de-
tense perimeter. and which resulted in the &C
cusation, perhaps unjust, that he had invited
the Communist aggression of the following
June.

Greater Tax Exemptions

In regard to the tax reductions

of the inequities which now exist in

Prefers Leuve to Ruise

AS a Government employee, should
prefer restoration of the leave taken
from us by a previous Congress, rather
than a pay raise much greater than
that advocated by the administration.
I believe the restored leave would
mean more to a majority of employees
than large raise, and perhaps it would
be easier to get. However, I do think
that all low bracket employees should
receive a raise of at least 500. They
need it most.

Why is it that legislators Of IS States

Mr.. Champions opening lead
was the singleton deuce Of dia-
monds. Mrs. Keen won with the
ace and returned the queen, Mr..
Champion ruffing out the king.
The six of hearts was now led
and Mr.. Masters won in his own
hand with the ace. He had all
ready lost two tricks and it
looked like the contract was un-
makeable unless the queen Of
clubs could be successfully
finessed. AS you see. that was
not possible.
However, it was clear to Mr..
Masters that Mrs. Keen could be
thrown into the lead at any time
with q diamond. There was no
danger of Mr.. Champion getting
in with a diamond, as he had al
ready shown out of this suit.
But to do this with any advan-
tage to himself, it was necessary
to execute the end-play at a
time when Mrs. Keen would have
no safe exit card.
With these thoughts in mind.
Mr.. Masters led a spade to
dummy's queen, returned a dia-
mond and ruffed 1t high. lie
entered dummy again with a
heart to the king, pulled back
dummy's last heart and ruffed it.
Then he led a trump to the ace,
extracting Mr.. Champions last
one.
At. this point durnmy's last
diamond, the nine, was led. Mrs.
Keen covered it with the ten
and, instead of trumping. Mr..
Masters discarded the trey of
clubs.
Now Mrs. Keen had only two
choices. She was out of spades
and hearts. If she returned a
diamond, Mr.. Masters would ruff
with dummy's last trump, while
discarding the last losing club
from his hand. If she Led back
q club, it would go right into
dummy's ace-queen.
