The lonely. agonizing decisi'
and the success or failure of
years of war effort by millions
in the face of the worst channel
weather in 20 years and German
defenses by landing in Normandy
June 6, 1914. undoubtedly will
stand out in history as one of
the great military decisions Of
all time.
But whether the next five de-
cisions listed by Gen. Smith In
his book, released yesterday,
deserve equal place probably will
be challenged on several counts.
Other Decisions
The other decisions were:
To encircle the Germans in
France with a war of movement
closing at Falaise Gap.
To meet promptly with all
spare reserves the German pene-
tration in the Ardennes before
the enemy's full intentions were
known Battle of the Bulge
To try and destroy the Ger
mans in a series of battles west
of the Rhine before forcing the
river.
To try a classic double envel-
opment of the Ruhr and isolate
the German Army from its source
of supplies.
To pursue and wipe out Ger
man armed forces rather than
to try and reach Berlin.
"Eisenhower'S Six Great De-
cisions," long delayed and per-
haps published this year with
one eye on the presidential cam
paign, is another in the rash Of
books written by generals
American, British and German
ON who won and lost the war
and why.
Gained Desired Results
Gen. Smith gives a staff
officers view that planning
achieved the desired results. In
several recent books German
generals have argued that after
Normandy the exhaustion OF
their forces and resources, plus
blunder after blunder by Hitler
and some of his pet generals,
had as much to do with Ger
many's defeat as allied battle
plans.
There can be little argument
that Germany's end was inevi-
table after the success OF the
Normandy landing. which even
most German generals agree was
one of the great and well-ex-
ecuted strategy moves of the war
The questions were: How long
would final victory take and
what would it cost?
The big postwar controversy
has ragged over whether the allies
should have pushed to Berlin
and held there until a more
equitable settlement on Germany
was reached. Gen. Smith de-
tends Gen. Eisenhower's decision
not to fight through to Berlin.
He makes it clear the decision
not to go to Berlin was Gen
Eisenhower's alone, made in the
face of repeated urging by Prime
Minister Churchill that Berlin
should be taken.
Zones Agreed Upon
Among others, Gen. Smith
makes the point that because
the Allies had agreed months be-
fore to occupation zones, and the
Americans and British were al
ready beyond theirs. they would
have only had to retreat from
the German capital and turn il
over to the Russians.
Winston Churchill disagreed

closest freedom points for those
escaping communism.
But the Senator took the view
that a mere extension Of the
law for another year. to permit
the filling of those visas. would
not provide the necessary sus-
tanned encouragement from this
country. He argued that a pool
is necessary as long as harsh
Soviet repression" hangs over
the satellites.
He called the sponsorship pro-
vision for Americans who want
to bring refugees to this country
too complex.
He also called for a change in
the rigid requirement that

mentary evidence of non-Com-

BY the Associated Press

President Eisenhower yester-
day issued proclamations invit-
ing worldwide participation in
two expositions to be held in
this country next year.
The States of the Union ano
foreign countries we're invited
to take part in the United States
world trade fair to be held in
New York from April IA to
April 81 and the Oklahoma semi
centennial exposition, Oklahoma
City, from June IA to July Z.
Mr.. Eisenhower acted in each
case in response to a congress
sional resolution.
The President said participa-
ton by the States and foreign
countries in the trade fair would
promote foreign and domestic
commerce and serve to foster
good will among nations.

More Than 50
Posts in House
[GrOups Vacant
By ROBERT K. WALSH

The House Ways and Means
Committee, known mainly as tar
law drafters, will start operating
soon as a sort Of selective service
system to induct more than SO
members into House committees
Defeats in the November
election as well as retirements OF
deaths of House members left %
vacancies in the Democratic ma.
jority ranks of House commit
tees and 81 in the Republican
minority lists. Those do not in
clude two House districts still in
doubt and another two or three
currently contested in recounts
or possible investigations.
Whatever the eventual total OF
vacancies, it will be made up by
committee appointments decided
by the House committee on
committees" This is the 25-
member Ways and Means Com
mittee. Chairman vacancies or
the Foreign Affairs and Com
merce Committees will be filled
on the basis Of seniority as will
six ranking majority places.
Will Consult Rayburn
Speaker Rayburn and House
Democratic Leader Mccormack,
Iof course, are consulted" in the
selection of Democrats who will
fill the vacancies. Republican
Leader Martins Suggestions
will carry considerable weight in
the choice of Republican COM
mittee assignments.
The committees job actually
lis bigger than merely filing
vacancies. It involves transfers
of members from committees of
lesser Importance to those OF
key authority in the House. 1t
lis a means Of rewarding for
faithful party service in past
sessions and also of recognizing
newcomers to Congress.

scored an overturn here and
there. but not in significant
numbers. Mostly the States
stuck with the kind Of admins
trations they already had
Democratic, Republican or mixed.
Thirty-seven States elected
some or all the members Of their
legislatures.
Parties Share Cheer
Both parties can find some
thing to cheer about, now that
most Of the count is in.
In Colorado. for example,
Democrats took control of both
branches for the first time in two
decades. by gaining a net of six
Senate and nine House seats.
Colorado was a sore disappoint-
Iment to the q. o. P. in just
about everything but the presi-
Dental sweepstakes.
In Connecticut. Republicans
won a tremendous victory. Pres
ident Eisenhower rolled up a
record plurality and the rest of
the party kept pace fairly we'll
AS a consequence. the G. o. p
now will control the State Legis-
llatures by the most lopsided mar
gin since the 1920s.
Republicans in the Nutmeg
State seized a net of Is seats
and control of the Senate from
the Democrats. They will have a
30-to-5 Senate margin. In the
House, they increased their edge
from 1874 to 249 by netting So
seats from the Democrats and
three from Independents.
Those n Senate and House
seats the G. o. P. took from the
Democrats in Connecticut repre-
sent about two out of every five
the Republicans were able to
snare in the country as a whole
Without them, the outcome for
the COP. would have been
bleak and far different.

were on that committee in
1953-54.
Other committees and the
number Of vacancies to be filled
are: Agriculture, I'VE Repub-
licans; Appropriations. two
Democrats and two Republicans;
Armed Services, one Democrat
and three Republicans; Banking
and Currency, one Democrat and
three Republicans: District of
Columbia, two Democrats to re-
place Representatives Arthur
Klein Of New York and Wood
row w. Jones of North Carolina;
Education and Labor, one Demo-
crat and three Republicans.
Foreign Affairs, four Demo-
Gratis; Government Operations,
one Democrat; House Admin
istration, one Republican; In
terror and Insular Affairs. two
Republicans; Interstate and For
eign Commerce. five Democrats
and two Republicans; Judiciary !
three Democrats and three Re-
publicans; Merchant Marine and
Fisheries, two Democrats and one
Republican; Post Office and Civil
Service, one Democrat; Public
Works, two Democrats and one
Republican; Rules, one Re-
publican; Un-American Activ-
tiles, one Republican.
That leaves only two commit
tees-Ways and Means and Vet
eranS-with no changes. on pa
per, at least. But if Mr.. Holmes
loses in Washington he will be
replaced by another Republican
on the Ways and Means Com
mittee. Moreover, the possible
transfer of some members of the
Veterans Committee to fill va
cancies on other committees
would neceSsitate new members
for veterans affairs.
The changes also will affect
special groups, such as the Joint
Committee on the Economic Re-
port and the Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy. The only pros
pective change in the latter
committee is an appointment to
succeed the late Representative
Carl Hinshaw, Republican of
California.

Senator Clifford Case, Repub-
lican of New Jersey. started the
ball rolling last night for early
action by the new Congress to
liberalize the Refugee Relief Act.
The Senator pointed out that
last week President Eisenhower
had to waive some of the strin-
gent requirements of existing
law to permit entry into the
United States of 5000 Hungar-
ians fleeing from Soviet tyranny.
The New Jersey 1awmaker
said these requirements should
be lifted permanently by Con-
gress, particularly as they apply
to bona flde escapes from the
satellites.
Senator Case said that as long
as present conditions exist a new
pool Of immigration visas should
be established under a broadened
law for refugees from the satel-
lite countries.

Republicans took 200 seats
formerly held by Democrats; the
Democrats won 1876 seats Re-
publicans had filled.
That is on the basis of unoffi-
ciai and still incomplete reck-
onings obtained in a State-by-
State survey by the Associated
Press.
Even If there is a change, the
results still will be a tremendous
reversal Of those in 1854. Two
years ago the Democrats boosted

pattern Of the close battle for
control Of the Federal House and
Senate battle in which the
Democrats came out a shade
ahead.
Total Is 200 to 1876
The Republicans got a net Of
81 State Senate seats from
Democrats in nine States and a
net Of 1859 House seats in l6
States--a total of 200. The
Democrats gained 70 Senate
seats from Republicans in 19
States and 1l8 House seats in Is
States-a total of 1856.
Two years ago the Democrats
were saying gleefully that they
Melted 100 Senate and 1896 House
seats. In that election they
ousted Republicans from 1O3
Senate seats in 30 States and
397 House seats in "a States,
while the Republicans took from
the Democrats 3 Senate seats in
3 States and 2 House seats in
