While American diplomacy
is waiting patiently for the
result of the Intervention of
United Nations Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold
toward getting our uniformed
prisoners out of the Chinese
jails, the Internal Revenue
Service is less patient. At
least one of these unfortunate
victims of the Communists
has received at his residence
in the United States a RE-
minder' to pay his 1854 taxes
and make his 1855 income tax
return. Internal Revenue is
not to be blamed. The ex-
emptions to the men fighting
in Korea were terminated
when hostilities in that area
were declared officially ended.
But there is a somewhat grue-
some undertone in this dun
ming" by the Treasury men
in action.
The country was rightly In
dignant at the news last Mo-
vember that IA prisoners in
the Korean war, from colonel
to private. had been sentenced
TO long prison terms as spies"
There was a loud demand for
immediate action to get these
men out. It looked for a short
time as If our Government
would adopt a stern attitude
in the face of this total dis
regard of international law.
But some of the timid souls
in the administration urged
patience and care.
Since the Korean campaign
was not a war but a police
action" undertaken by the
United Nations with 95 per
cent American personnel. it
was primarily that interna-
tional body's responsibility to
free our men. Indeed it's high
est permanent official. Mr..
HammarSkjold, hot-footed it
to Peiping. There he was dined
and wined for nearly 10 days
by Prime Minister Chou En-
lai, had long political talks
with the high Communist hier-
archy and returned to New
York, personally optimistic
that somehow or other, some
day. our men might possibly be-
liberated before their prison
terms expired.
When the first news of this
breach of international law by
the Chinese became known.
the United States Congress
was as angry as the Nation at
large. Besides the physical
sufferings of those men, 1t was
a new slap in the face at this
country. 1t was suggested in
speeches from the floor Of the
Senate and the House that we
demand the liberation of our
jailed prisoners and, if the
Communists did not comply,
a blockade of the China coast
be Immediately enforced. This
would probably have been done
in the days gone by. when we
had not become entangled in
a complexity of alliances
which compel our Government
to pay as much attention
sometimes more) to the voices
of our allies as to national in
terestS.
The more vociferous advo-
Gates of a policy of retaliation.
such as Senators Knowland
and Bridges, were called to the
White House where it was ex-
planned to them that it would
be unwise to precipitate a crisis
when the United Nations could
achieve our purposes by much
more delicate means. There
was a tacit understanding that
Mr.. Hammarskjold be given at
least three months to show
some positive results.
That happened early last
January. The three months
are now over and, as far as
this reporter has been able to
ascertain, all that the Secre-
tary General of the U.N. has
been able to produce was a

ment in Mr.. Eisenhower as
President. He is worried about
the direction of the drift in
China policy and his feelings
were not improved by silly
and irresponsible" bla st S
thrown at his tax proposals by
the President a few days after
he personally saved the Eisen-
hover reciprocal trade bill in
the House.
The break in Democratic
defeatism is composed of sew
eral factors. In part, it rep
resents the erosion of time,
the mistakes made by Secre-
tary Dulles. and by far in
greatest measure is the feeling
that in the China matter they
have a real issue. 1t will, they
feel. serve to divide the Repub-
lican Party and force the
President at long last to take
an irrevocable. stand which
will ALLEVIATE one strong fac
ton or the other.
The Democrats are con-
vinced that the country wants
peace. They are sure, that
Americans are reluctant to
hurl atomic bombs over QUE
moy and Matsu. They believe
that they are reluctant to hurl
bombs on behalf of Chang
Kai-shek. In this they believe
that basic Democratic policies
and good politics coincide.

POLLS IN ERROR
ON EISENHOWER,
GORE ASSERTS

EASTON, Pa, April IA P.
Polls which claim President
Eisenhower Is 'invincible" are
wrong, says Senator Gore.
Democrat, of Tennessee, who
declared last night the Demo-
Gratis have bright prospects in
the 1856 presidential cam
paign.
THE polls are making the
same mistake with President
Eisenhower that they made
with Dewey" said Senator
Gore. "The people are going
to have their day in 1856"
Several Nation wide polls
predicted in 1948 that former
New York Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey would defeat President
Truman.
Senator Gore spoke at the
59th anniversary celebration
of the Jacksonian Democratic
Association of Easton.

Allies at present are inclined
to go along with him on this
policy in the hope that the

doubtless demand a plebiscite

Chinese mainland. would de-
teriorate. Grave danger may
develop then in respect to
U. N. forces in Korea. Maybe
the Red Chinese would innfne-
diately thereafter decide it was
opportune to resume the fight
ing there.
Until the President explains
to the American people the
relationship between the Chi
nese offshore islands and the
Formosa situation, there is a
chance that by hiding their
time the Communists can get
their way as they have in other
things by using pressure tao
tics in the cold war" For
the effort now is to divide
American public opinion and
bring about the surrender of
the offshore islands to the
Communists. European pres
sure is assisting in that ma
neuver on the theory that this
will mean peace. But the
Communists are never ap-
peased. This is the way. in
deed. to encourage the ag-
gressor to make a fatal mis-
calculation which can bring
on the very war everybody

The Assault on the Individual

Of the Department of Agrichl-
ture. The man there was Wolf
Ladejinsky, who had been
working in the japanese land
reform program instituted by
us as an employee of the Agri-
culture Department. He was
dropped as a security risk on
the ground he had belonged in
the past to two alleged Com
nunist-front organizations. He
denied the allegations. SUBJ
sequently he was cleared by
the Foreign Operations Adj
mlnistration headed by Har-
old Stassen and given an FOA
Job in Indo-C China where he is
now.
But Agriculture never cleared
him, hasn't to this day. and
on one occasion a few weeks
ago when the matter was
brought to the Presidents at
tention at a news conference,
as 1t was on three different oc-
casions, the President said that
each of the two agencies had
honestly reached different con-
illusions and that he was not
going to take unto himself an
investigation in that area.
Previously, on another occa-

might be admitted to this
country on the scale contem-
plated. Mr.. Corsi was described
as "the best man in the coun-
try" for this particular job by
Secretary Dulles and he had,
indeed. a wealth of experience
both as immigration Commits
sioner here and in New York
in the past.
Mr.. Corsi did not think
much of the law co-sponsored
by Mr.. Walter. He said SO
publicly. That enraged the
Pennsylvania Congre ssman,
chairman of the House I'm
American Activities Committee,
who charged that in the past
Mr.. Corsi had belonged to al
legged Communist-front organ
izations. This Mr., Corsi denied.
OF being a security risk he was
also cleared by Secretary
Dulles after the latter made
a careful study of the FBI
files. But anyhow the Secre-
tary fired him.
1t is not the purpose here to
go into the pros and cons of
this case, of which there are
more daily, but only to point
out one thing which has to do
with the central issue here be-
ing discussed. This is that.
under intense grilling from re-
porterS about the Corsi case at
his news conference this week,
the Secretary said. in excusing
his lack of knowledge about
details. that there were tense

which he had to be concerned,

emma, ana Gnag II ne should

case. he should be dismissed as
Secretary of State.
Conceding that he does have
a great load on his mind, is 1t
irreverent to ask whether he
should be dismissed il he fails
to spend time going into the
details of the Corsi case, in
volving as it does q man he
brought down here to work for
him? Is it too much to ask
that he should protect such q
man from a species of Nc
Carthyism?

Aside from the matter of
war or peace, perhaps the
other most important matter
with us, free citizens of Amer
lea, is preservation of the free
dom, dignity and integrity of
the individual.
1t may be the most impor-
tant of all. 1t would be that
which we would fight to save
if we entered a war. It is the
essence of our tradition.
Because it has been under
threat in these times, and still
is, there is nothing that should
be of more concern to all of
us. and especially those who
govern us and are the keepers
of our heritage, including the
President and those who share
responsibility of Government
with him. It should be their
personal concern, and not left
to others.
That has not been so, and
it is time to take notice of the
lack.
The threat to our individual
freedom and personal dignity
and integrity has come to be
called "McCarthyism,'' a term
that is generally understood
now and needs no elaboration
here. We may have thought
the noxious atmosphere which
that term implies was dispelled
when the Senate censured
Senator Joe Mccarthy of Wis
conSin in special session last
November. But it was not.
The fear which the Senator
generated still fingers in ex-
ecutive branches of the Gov
eminent which depend upon
Congress for approval of their

atoms, and makes them most

If it's logical for the United
States to urge that the Ma
tionalists give UP Quenloy
and the Matsus because those
islands are SO close to the
Chinese mainland as to be a
source of potential trouble,
why isn't it as logical for those
on the appeasement side to
urge the West German gov
eminent now to consent to
the giving up Of Berlin to East
Germany?
For Berlin today Is an
island" and there is a gap OF
100 miles between it and the
main area of West Germany.
Just as there is a space Of 100
miles between Formosa and
the Chinese offshore islands.
The island" is a constant
source of friction.
The new type OF blockade
recently imposed by the Soviet
authorities over the COM
mercial trucks that have to-
travel between Berlin and West
Germany over the 100-mile
highway in the Soviet Zone
can be cited as an example of
the kind of international ir-
ritation which the continued
possession of Berlin by the
West Germans holds for the
allied world.
All the arguments being
made for appeasing the Red
Chinese can be adapted readily
to the situation in and around
the island of Berlin" For the
appeasement talk heard here
and the proposals being made
that the Chinese offshore
islands be surrendered, as
suggested by some big Amer
lean newspapers, could be
taken by the Communists to
mean they will. get what they
