situation as it existed last

The change in the Russian
regime poses an entirely diff
ferent problem. We are COM
mitted to defend Europe. And
at this moment it is difficult
to guess what the Moscow
military dictatorship will do,
although there are indications
that a new era of sabre rat
thing is in the offing. Sabre
rattling under direct control
of the military can be danger
Gus because military prestige
is involved.
The best diplomatic sooth-
sayers in this country believe
that the Khrushchev regime
under the control of the mar
shalS will do its utmost to
prevent rearmament of Ger
many on the side of the West.
The Soviet military leaders
know better than we that the
NATO is still only a paper
tiger.
The American people have
been told that the Vests mill
tary organization has up to
100 divisions to counter any
hostile enemy moves. Yet this
is correct only on paper. There
are nearly Is combat-ready di-
visions between the Elbe and
the Rhine. There are 40 COM
bat divisions in the Southern
Mediterranean-22 Turkish, 6
Greek and IL Italian. But these
cannot be assigned to the
Western front. They have a
specific job-mostly defensive
in the area between the Cen
tral and Eastern Medfter-
ranean. The rest of the 100
divisions boasted of by the
NATO high command are re-
serves which can be thrown
into action within 80 to 80
days-a difficult task consid-
ering the Reds air power.
Thus the nearly IS combat
ready divisions-of which six
are American and four are
British-have the unenviable
task. in the event of aggression

a Charges Dropped

FORT SILL, Okla, Feb. H.
The Army court-martial board

while a prisoner in the Korean
war.
The court was in weekend

Common Bond Of Old Soldiers

Bv Diplomacy: If Only They Could Get Together

ative of a general attitude"
Here and in the Presidents
somewhat plaintive remark at
his press conference that what
those past relations might
mean today, Il don't know"
is concentrated the tragic
story of what has happened in
the world in the years since
the atomic years. between the
leaders and people of the two
greatest powers.
Once, as one soldier to an
other, the two men understood
each other and could COM
municate and reach one an
other. AS between soldiers. so
is that true between members
of various groups from differ
ent nations-businessmen doc
tors. lawyers. scientists, school
teachers, farmers. factory
workers. writers, artists. They
can talk in a common Ian
guage.
But there seems to be no
common language. therefore
no common understanding.
when it comes to diplomats
who represent nations as ma
tions, not as people. At that
level something comes between.
Diplomats play a game and the
rules are not modern; nor are
the tactics, which rely heavily
upon tricks: nor is the lam
guage, which involves double
talk so often. Diplomats don't
talk like people.
Our President and Marshal
Zhukov are caught up in this
web of diplomacy.
If they could only be as they
once were and meet as two
old soldiers! And if diplomats
could talk like people, as other
groups of different nations can
do among themselves--doctorS.
and poets, and farmers. and
all the rest.
Would it be possible to have
such people get together and
try to solve our differences,
and leave the diplomats out for
once?
At least it never has been
tried.

been pardoned by the then Gov
ernor of Minnesota after being
sentenced on a bank robbery
charge.
His attorneys asserted that.
since the 1945 pardon, Bernstein
dropped from the public eye.
Stunned publicity and led an
exemplary life. winning the
friendship and respect of neigh
bors who knew nothing of his
past.
Then. it was alleged. the past
events were resurrected in a Big
Story" program telecast by NBC
in 1852.
Bernstein's attorneys. Harry
Warner and Irving Lavine, told
Judge Keech that. as a result.
Bernstein is being Stunned in
his community and has suf-
fered monetary damage and
mental distress.
But NBC Attorneys Percy "a.
Shay and Sidney H. Wilmer
pointed out that the Big Story"
telecast used fictitious names for
all principals except Miss Stray
er In addition, the site of the
Staying was portrayed in Alex
andria, Va.
Because of this. they asserted.
only those who already had
known of Bernstein's implication
in the crime could link him with
the television story.
The question came before

trict Court for the District Of
Columbia on a motion for sum-

fighting the first waves of
more than 65 ready y-to-march
divisions concentrated in East
Germany and Poland. If such
an attack should occur. the
prospects of a genuine mobili-
Zation in continental Western
Europe are limited by political
conditions due to the strength
of the Communist Party and
the neutralist elements,
The main burden of REIN
forcing our 1rst-line troops in
Europe would rest with the
United States. The transpor-
tation of reinforcments in the
teeth of at least 400 modern
Red submarines would be a
problem in itself. The Ameri-
can and British navies and
air forces are confident, how
ever. that. they can do the job
once more as they did when
Hitler's subs were on the
prowl.
But the question is: How
many men could we send
across the Atlantic if our
ground forces are cut back
under the pending plan?
We cannot deplete our al
ready limited forces in Japan,
Korea and Alaska. And we
have only a few divisions in
continental America, which
might fill some gaps in the
forces in Germany but could
not effectively strengthen
them.
We live under the illusion
that because we have spent
tens of billions on Western
European allies they actually
represent what the paper re-
ports show. There is no ques-
