Surprise Release Of Text
OF 1e45 Meeting Brings
Some Facts Into Focus

Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles last Wednesday published ex-
tensive Recommendation on the Roose-
elt-Churchill-S Stain meetings at
Yalta in February, 1945, when the
three wartime leaders met to remake
the world.
Only two days before, State De-
partment officials had reported the
documents could not be made public
"for reasons which involve our ma
tional security and our relations
with other powers"
Political Motive
1t was generally agreed that the
motive behind the action was ex-
clusively political-to follow through
on a 1852 Republican campaign
pledge to expose the Yalta "sellout."
Probably the timing of the dis
closure was not to Mr.. Dulles liking.
His hand apparently was forced by
The New York Times. which got

Department announced 1t would cir

Stock Market Probe:

What has been happening re-
Gently in the stock market was
likened last week to what would
occur II a motorist, driving madly
down a crowded highway at 80
miles an hour. had his attention
distracted suddenly. The result
might not be serious, but on the
other hand, 1t could be a catas-
trophe.
The fact that the motorist had
no business going 80 miles an hour
in the first place would be entirely
beside the point in assessing the
damage. Still. could the distracting
element be held to blame?
After IL days of Senate Banking
Committee investigations (the dis
tracing infiuence) and 10 days Of
wild fluctuations in the stock mar
ket (the automobile), there were
two schools Of thought.
One, represented by Senator
Homer Capehart, Republican, Of
Indiana land to some degree by
Treasury Secretary George Hum
phrey). seemed to take the position
that the diverter of the drivers
attention was at least as much at
fault as the reckless man at the
wheel. If the disturbance hadn't
occurred there wouldn't have been
any bad results.
Another, represented by CLIO Sec
retary-Treasurer James B. Carey,
tended to think that the distraction
itself was good thing-even If
the speeder had to take his chances
on ending up in the fracture ward.
At the weeks end, 1t looked as
though 1t was being left up to
Providence to make sure that in
nocent bystanders did not get hurt.

Review of The Week:
Extends Use
OfDeterrent
Power to Asia

President Eisenhower continued to
prepare for the worst last week while
hoping doggedly for the best.
With the Far Eastern situation
still deteriorating. he chose last
Wednesday to warn the world
Communist China in PARTICULAR
that the United States would use
atomic weapon in any war, "just
exactly as you would use a bullet
or anything else"
His only qualification-an impor-
tant one especially for populous
countries-was that the fission
bombs would be used ION strictly
military targets and for strictly
military purposes"
Thus. for the first time. the Presi-
dent extended his application of
Americas nuclear deterrent power
fEom an all-inclusive generality,
aimed at all aggressors, to a specific
threat, intended principally for the
Communist Chinese in the Formosa
Straits.
At the same time, Mr.. Eisenhower
seemed to be calling attention to
another milestone in the Atomic
age. Whereas previously the United
States had let it be known that
atomic weapons were becoming con-
ventional, President Eisenhower's
statement last Wednesday strongly
indicated they now are conventional.
Secretary of State John Foster
sol
before. and Vice President Nixon the
day after.
Colin Over Washington
Here in Washington, these signif1-
cant developments were received
with a majestic calm, indicating
either quiet acceptance of their
implications or a blithe spirit of
who-could-care-less.
For those who bothered to notice,
the administration had signaled
quite clearly its decision that the
point of no return on use of atomic
weapons in any future war should
be passed. In effect, that means
there will be no more conventional
Wars if America is participant.
The Soviet Unions talk OF outlaw
ing only nuclear war is suddenly out
of date. The Kremlin has been left
two choices. Either accept Gen. Mac.
Arthur's plan outlawing all wars, or
take its chances with President
Eisenhower's theory that nuclear
war can be limited"
Attempts at world disarmament,
obviously, are due, for thorough
reorientation. Yesterday the Presi-
dent named Harold E.. Stassen, for
eign aid administrator, as his special
assistant with cabinet rank to co.
ordinate a fresh Government ap-
proach to this old but fast-changing
problem.
The Washington developments
had three principal effects around
the world. They heightened tensions
in Asia. stimulated disquiet in Eu-
rope, and started furry of second
guessing by pundits.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-03-20

blow. Fukien airbases and artillery
emplacements in the Quemoy and
Matsu areas probably would be the
first targets if atomic weapons were
used.
Secretary Dulles made special
point of mentioning American troop
operations in Nevada within short
distances of the atomic explosions.
Fall-out. he said, is not problem
with smaller bombs. 1t affects only
a limited area. presumably the mill
tary concentration only.
These are thoughts, obviously,
which our National Security Coun-
Gil wants Peiping to null over at
length.

Weeks Testimony

A mixed bag Of witnesses trooped
to the stand last week, and gave a
variety of interpretations of what
was going on. Samples:
. Federal Reserve Chairman Will
liam McChesney Martin said that
comparisons between 1929 and 1855
show stock prices not to be unduly
high (see subhead, Differences
From 49," below. But CLIO Sec
rotary Carey based his comparison
on 1858 and 1855 and came up with
alarmingly different conclusions.
. Treasury Secretary Humphrey
warned Of possible i'll effects result
ing from the hearing. "As criticism
Of the Government and suggestions
for restrictive actions have been
made from day to day with dis
cuSsionS of restrictive action that the
Government might or might not en-
gage in, they can easily contribute
to questioning Of confidence" Mr..
Carey came back with this blast: IF
this recent bull market is nurtured
by so poor an economic pasture that
few words before this commit
tee can cause its destruction, then
Mr.. Humphrey has indicted the
economic policies Of the Eisenhower
administration"
. Financial columnist j. A. Living
ston praised the work of the COM
mittee and saw in the 7-point break
OF the week before no indication of
q financial recession. Investment
banker Ferdinand Eberstadt said
the hearing was timely, but whether
It has been helpful will depend on
the outcome"
. Mr.. Livingston seemed not to see
eye to eye with Senator Capehart
on the role of Walter Winchell in
the market. The legislator was on
the air last Sunday with Mr.. Win
chell. who has been criticized before
the committee for giving out stock
tips. Senator Capehart spoke Of
attacks" on Mr.. Winchell, and
Mr.. Livingston replied, IT don't think
Walter Winchell was attacked. I
think he was described for what
he Is"
On the sidelines as well as on
the stand there were q number Of
comments about the hearings. Presi-
dent Eisenhower said he had mo
opinion whatsoever" about their
effect on the market. Former Gov.
Thomas e. Dewey Of New York,
fresh from . conference with the
President. said the same day that
1t was mo coincidence" that the
market had slumped.

Around Formoso

Secretary Dulles did everything
but fatty predict war in the Far
East when he met with the press last
Tuesday for the first time since his
return from two week trip to the
Orient.
In an advance mimeographed
statement which he entitled "Po-
tential Dangers in Far East and
Southeast Asia" Mr.. Dulles used
these somber words:
Il must confess that I come back
=. with a certain sense of fore
boding. was tremendously i'm
pressed wherever was with the
keen desire Of the peoples and the
governments to retain their free
domS, but also I was tremendously
impressed by the evidence. almost
everywhere, Of the aggressive inten-
tons of the Chinese Communists.
Il saw everywhere E. people who
were frightened and worried at the
evidence of aggressive Chinese
Communist intentions, and it would
seem as though it was possible at
least that the Chinese Communists
do not intend to stop until it is ap-
parent that they are stopped by
superior resistance. Emphasis sup
plied-Ed.)
If expected Red assaults on Que
moy and Matsu Islands look like
preludes to an attack on Formosa
and the Pescadores, Secretary
Dulles has indicated the United
States will help Chang Kai-shek
hold the outposts.
The Communists must neutralize
those two island groups If they
hope to deliver on their threat to
break Chang Kai-shek's hold on
Formosa and the Pescadores. Cor
reasons why, see article on Page
AID.
Jet Fuel Shipment
A brief Juror developed last week
over the approach of a Finnish
tanker with Rumanian fuel for Red
China's Jet aircraft. Senator VIII
liam F. Knowland urged the United
States to stop the ship before it
reached any Communist port. Chang
announced his navy would try to
intercept the tanker and would even
sink 1t as last resort.
The tanker's crew tried to take
matters into their own hands. They
issued q strike threat. against trying
to run the blockade.
The ships captain. however, re-
fused to put into Colombo, where
1t was rllmored the United States
would try to buy the controversial
cargo. He said he would try to
transfer the fuel to another ship
somewhere on the high seas-pre-
sumably some Red craft well out Of
range Of Chinese Nationalist naval
or air arms.

senhower and Mr.. Dulles to the
United States baby A-bombs with
the precise explosive effects empha-
sized two qualities OF these new
weapons:

tween military targets (which the
United States would want to hit)
and civilians (which we would like
to miss.

Bull Market

For 10 months-since mid-Sep-
TENDER. 1953-the stock market has
been "bullish"; that is, buyer eager
ness has been the big characteristic.
and rising prices the big result.
There are various devices used to
chart the progress of the market,
such as Standard & Poor's weekly
Accommodates index, the Dow
Jones daily average of IS stocks and
the Associated Press daily average
of so stocks. The photo-chart at
the top of the page plots the fall
and rise of the market as reflected
in A. P.'s 60-stock index since
March I. The graph below shows
percentage fluctuations over q much
longer haul. V
On September Is, 1853, just before
the upturn that marked the start
of the current bull market. A. P.'s
average stood at 1908. It's subse-
quent rise was steady, with only a
few small reversals. BY the first
of March 1t was 1905, and still
climbing.
But fortnight ago, Just after
the start Of the Senate investigation
headed by Arkansas Democrat j.
William Fulbright, the market took
q nosedive. At the close Of bust
ness March the A. P. average
stood at 162.6-a high for 1885.
Ten days later, at the end Of trading
March IA, the average was down
to 1915. In that brief period
paper losses" of something like $12
billion had been suffered on the
market.
Then the trend reversed itself.
On Tuesday the market regained
nearly 3 points and kept on moving
up. Though the upward trend was
not so sharp as the downward one,
it was encouraging.
But was the March 4 high the
end Of the bull market? To advert
again to the speeding-drive analogy,
had the motorists attention been
disastrously distracted?
No one could tell on the basis Of
q few days hindsight. The answer
will be obvious, undoubtedly. by
the goth Of September. It cannot
be ascertained on the goth Of March.
But there were some signs that the
break might indeed have been the
end of the bull market-and that
it might have come when 1t did, or
some time very soon.
Stock market experts say it is rare
for bull market to last longer than
Is months. There has not been a
rising market of such duration as
the current one since the hectic
goings-on Of the mid '20s.
The Rules to Wotch
But do the rules apply in the pres
ent situation; in other words, Is this
a classic bull market?
The experts watch for at least i've
characteristics in assessing bullish-
ness:
l. Is there considerable trading in
"cats and dogs"-the low-priced,
neutrality-suspicious. stocks?
2. Is there an upturn In margin
trading; that is, an increase in the
number Of securities bought for
other than spot cash?
8. Are rumors and tips more than
ordinarily rife?
4. Is the volume Of trading. L.,
number Of shares handled each day,
up sharply?
5. Are there more corporate merg-
ers than usual?
The answer to each Of these ques-
lions, in the present case. is a re-
sounding yes. The stock market has
bull on its hands, wild, neurotic,
18-month-old bull.

In Europe

The world could hardly have
avoided being struck anew with the
dazzling pre-eminence Of the United
States in today's global power
struggle. Not the least among those
who have been impressed are Great
Britain and France.
Nor do they find American su-
premacy an undivided blessing. They
are frankly worried that the United
States, left alone, may soon come to
ignore its allies-indeed, that it is
already doing this in the Formosa
Straits.
Their misgivings stem from q
basic disagreement over the pros
pective character of nuclear war.
They think small nuclear fight
could spread, quite easily, all around
the globe.
Despite the reality of long-range
Russian bombers and the pos
sibility of intercontinental mis-
siles, the Europeans regard them
selves as more vulnerable to
hydrogen attack than the United
States. From this fear stems
another-that an irresponsible"
move by the United States, in how
ever remote a place, might seal
Europe's doom.
Prime Minister Churchill put the
European thesis bluntly in his elo-
quent House Of Commons speech on
hydrogen warfare last March /:
UNLESS we were prepared to un-
leash a full-scale nuclear war as
soon as some local incident occurs
In some distant country, we must
have conventional forces in readi-
ness to deal with such situations as
they arise Substantial strength
in conventional forces has still a
vital part to play in the policy of
the deterrent. 1t Is perhaps Of even
greater importance in the cold war"
BY cutting American conventional
forces In each Of the three budgets
he has prepared, Mr.. Eisenhower, Of
course, flies in the face Of Mr..
Churchill's reasoning.
1t would be a fairly safe bet that
diplomatic cables are filling the
ether between London and Wash
ington, carrying Britain's reasons
why atomic weapons should not be
used to hold such small prizes as
the Quemoy and Matsu islands.
But Sir winston himself has said
that. until Great Britain gets H
bombs Of her own and planes to
deliver them, he does not hope to
have much influence On American
policy. It Is to regain more in
fluence, in fact, that he asked Par
lament to approve his decision to
make the hydrogen bomb In Britain.
France also is stepping into the
H-bomb business for the same rea-
son. Premier Edgar Faure said last
week his country could not afford
to take q second-class seat in the
policy councils Of the free world.
