Taylor as Far East Chief

WITH THE U. S. oath DIVI-
SION IN KOREA, May IA (Pl.-
Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer was
touring front line installations
today when he learned President
Eisenhower had nominated him
to be U. S. Far East and United
Nations commander in chief.
He said lit is a great honor"
to take over the dual command
from Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor,
nominated by the President to
become Army Chief of Staff

1t was the second time in less
than two months that Gen. Lem
nitzer had inherited dual COM

Only last April l he took over

of the United States 9th Army in
Korea and United States Armed
Forces in the Far East when
Gen. Taylor relinquished those
to succeed Gen. John E. Hull
as Far East and U. N. COM
mander in chief.
"Great Honor"
In a brief statement Gen.
Lemnitzer said:
& The news reached me in
Korea. where I am visiting
United Nations forces.
1T is "a great honor to take
over these two important COM
nands from Gen. Taylor. How
ever, I arasnot unmindful of the
heavy responsibilities that go
with these new assignments"
Gen. Lemnitzer is no stranger
to Korea. He commanded the
United States 7th Infantry Diyi-
sion from November, 1851, to
August, 1852, during the Korean
war.
An affable, gregarious officer,
Gen. Lemnitzer steps into his
new role with experience not
only as combat soldier but also
as a director of assistance pro-
grams to America S allies.
In l949 and 1850, Gen. Lem
nitzer was director of the Office
of Foreign Military Assistance in
the Department of Defense.
A veteran artillery officer, he
qualified as paratrooper when

Farmers 10 Vote
On nWheatLimits

Farmers will vote on 1856
wheat controls on June 25-long
enough before the adjournment
of Congress to permit possible
changes in the law if the re-
strictive program is rejected.
Under the program announced
by Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son yesterday, wheat planting
and marketings would be limited
to 55 million acres, the minimum
permitted by law. by means of
acreage allotments and market
ing quotas.
Mr.. Benson said a two-year
supply made it necessary under
the law that he invoke the rigid
controls if high price supports
are to continue.
To become effective, the con-
troll program must be approved
by at least two-thirds of the
farmers voting in the referen-
dunn, which Mr.. Benson set for
June 25.
There have been widespread
reports and forecasts that farm
ers will reject the controls be-
cause of dissatisfaction with the
wheat situation. They have been
required to reduce paintings
sharply from a postwar peak OF
80 million acres because of
shrinking export markets.
Similar controls for this years
crop were approved by a margin
Of 1873 per cent.
Eight Senators from major
wheat-producing States urged
farmers to approve the continued
controls to remain eligible for
price supports.
Both the Eisenhower admin
istration and the Democratic
controlled Congress might want
to consider a substitute wheat
program should the quotas be
turned down.

Hall Disputed
On Chances OF
g. @. P. in South
By the Associated Press

Two Senate Democrats today
disputed G. o. P. National Chair
man Leonard w. Halls assertion
that the Republicans are making
inroads in the traditionally
Democratic South.
Mr.. Hall told a Birmingham,
Ala, audience last night that
Democrats are badly split. He
said he has every confidence"
that President Eisenhower could
carry more than four Dixie States
in 1856 and the party would
'pick up 10 to Is" Southern
seats in Congress.
Challenging Mr.. Halls conten-
tions, Senator Anderson, Demo-
crat, of New Mexico said in an
interview that mot only in the
South but everywhere else the
trend is unquestionably Demo-
cratic" And, Senator Anderson
added, "even if President Eisen-
hover runs again, he will carry
fewer States than he did before"
Four Eisenhower States
In winning in 1852, Mr.. Eisen-
hover carried Virginia. Florida.
Texas and Tennessee among the
Southern States.
Senator George, Democrat, OF
Georgia suggested that in saying
the G. o. P. was going to give
major attention to the South in
1856" Mr.. Hall might be look
ing more for campaign contribu-
tons than for votes in that area.
Mr.. Hall said Stephen A.
Mitchell, former Democratic
chairman, has a mission .
to keep out of the Democratic
national convention all those
Jeffersonian Democrats who re-
fuse to take the so-called loyalty
oath
Three Who Blunder
This was a reference to re-
cent statement by Mr. Mitchell
that Cows. Allan Shivers OF
Texas and Robert F. Kennon Of
Louisiana and former Gov.
James F. Byrnes of South Caro-
lima should be barred as dele
gates to the Democratic con-
vention next year Those three
. spurned Adlai E. Stevenson, the
Democratic presidential candi-
date in 1862. and supported Mr..
Eisenhower.
/ Senator George said he re-
earded Mr.. Mitchell's statement
as "a blunder" because he said
it tended to reopen q split that
/ was healing rapidly. But Sena-
tor George said Republicans will
be fooled if they think the South
is gong to divide us electoral
/ votes in Sc.

Ridgway Plans
To Keep Busy
In Retirement
By JOHN A. GILES

Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway.
who retires as Army Chief of
Staff June 80, says he has plans
to keep busy but I cannot give
any specific information at this
time"
The White House announced
yesterday that Gen. Maxwell B.
Taylor, Far East commander.
would succeed Gen. Ridgway.
The latter made his statement
when questioned as to future
plans.
Last April Gen. Ridgway made
an unannounced trip to Buenos
Aires via commercial aircraft.
The Army since has said he
went there on private business"
But a report from Buenos
Aires at the time said the gen.
eral announced that when he
retired he would become preSi-
dent of the new Industrias
Kaiser Argentina, the Argentina
subsidiary of the Henry j. Kai-
ser Co.
Later the Army announced,
Gen. Ridgway has not accepted
that job or any other job"
Guest of Kaiser
The general was the guest of
Edgar Kaiser. vice president of
the Argentine subsidiary, while
on the trip. Kaiser officials said
Gen. RidgWay had hau a number
OF discussions with them, that
ne was regarded as an able ad-
ministrator and has the added
advantage of speaking Spanish
fiuently. He learned the Ian
guage while an aide to the late
Theodore Roosevelt, jr., who was
Governor-General of the Philip
pines.
Gen. Ridgway, who has been
critical of administration deci-
slons to cutback ground forces.
applied for retirement volun-
tarlly. In answer to queries, he
said his retirement had been
pending for some months.
Meanwhile, speedy Senate con-
tlrmation appeared likely for
Gen. Taylor.
Chairman Russell of the Senate
Armed Services Committee said
he is "one of the best soldiers
we have and a man who will
make an excellent Chief of
Staff"
Won Respect of Congress
The Georgia Democrat, who
has sympathized with Gen.
Rldgway's opposition to cutting
military manpower, said he was
sorry to see him go. He said
Gen. Ridgway won the respect
and confidence of Congress-"
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat,
OF Arkansas, said he believed
the American people would
have liked to see him continue, +"
but added he thought Gen.
Taylor we'll qualified.
/ Senator Morse, Democrat, of
Oregon, made it plain he thought
the shift more than routine.s
He called Gen. Ridgway "the
best informed on the overall
military problems :. in the en-
tire United States Government" !"
! Gen. Ridgway reached manda-
tory retirement age last March
81 after 38 years service. But
the Army retained him on active
duty with the approval of Presi-
dent Eisenhower. He is 80 years
old.
Others Terms Up Soon
The terms of two other Joint
Chiefs of Staff expire III August.
/ They are Admiral Arthur w,
Radford. chairman, and Admiral
Robert Carney, Chief of Naval
/ Operations.
| Gen. Nathan F. Twining, air
chief, will complete his two-year
term June 80.
/ Chiefs of Staff are not re-
stricted to a single term and
there has been speculation that
Admiral Radford might be re-
named for another term.
