EN- ROUTE FROM TOKYO

EN- ROUTE FROM TOKYO
TO WASHINGTON. - The
consensus of American, Chi
nese and Korean military and
political leaders to whom this
reporter spoke at length during,
his Far East survey tour is
that the developments in the
Middle East are merely a ma
jor Communist diversion, while
the actual hlowup, If it comes,
will occur in the West Pacific.
The quiet. which prevails in
the area at present is regarded
as ominous. The enemy con-
tinues to build up his forces
unhampered by treaties, agree
ments and public opinion
either at home or abroad.
Our side is shackled in Ko-
rea by the arnistice signed
more than three years ago.
And because Of the fear that
the Chinese Nationalist forces,
which are now at their peak
both in equipment and train
ing, may try to cross the strait
from Formosa to the main
land, they are not permitted
to have more than a handful
of landing barges.
Because the administration
fears that Korean President
Syngman Rhee may try force
to unity his divided country. he
is kept 50 short Of ammunition
and gasoline for his obsolescent
equipment that he never has
supplies for more than a week.
OF course the Am erican
naval buildup in the West
Pacific is imposing and the
naval commanders feel con-
fident that our Navy could give
a good account of itself. All
the same, a surprise attack
which seems to be in the cards
would find US In q difficult
position since we must rush
supplies to the threatened area
across thousands of miles Of
the Pacific Ocean.
Korea, where we have two
full-strength divisions, would
hardly be tenable If the enemy
achieves Gas he is likely to-
his objective Of destroying
Pusan, the only port Of entry
for supplies and reinforce
ments. And we must remember
that our own troops have the
same type of Anticipated
weapons as the Koreans.
We maintain q Caesars
wife" attitude toward our obi
cations under the armiStice
while the Communists in North
Korea have been assiduously
preparing themselves for ag-
erosion since the first week
after the terms were signed.

unity between Britain, France

sonal meeting Of heads of
states might accomplish this,
but first there must be a clear
understanding In each country
of the increasing danger Of a

nation embodying the moral
principles of the alliance for
freedom.
The unity must be economic

Phoenix 7 een-ueers
Get Polio Shots

PHOENIX. Ariz.. Dec. 5 Up
Thousands of Phoenix teen
ayers are lining up voluntarily
to get shots in the Nations first
mass immunization program to
protect high school students
from polio.
The program started yesterday
at Phoenix Union High School
and about 5000 students turned
up to get shots of the Salk anti
polio vaccine. Any high school
students who want the shots will
be able to get them free.
Films Of the Phoenix program

Any peace short of the liberia

These wise views were taken
lightly by the Democratic adj

them as mere propaganda am

campaign in 1852. Yet it was
a Republican administration,
in its anxiety to keep peace
in the world, which disregarded
these solemn warnings and
the premonition of its own
leaders in the Senate.

Russians having utilized the
entire conflict as a proving

This is precisely the situ-

But the developments in the

main test is expected to take
place in the Western Pacific

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Major Red Drive There Seen Likely,
With Middle Eost Affair Diversion

The buildup Of the Chinese
and North Korean Commu-
nists is a matter of public
record. 1t is described as a
measure to- "unify" China by
the conquest Of Formosa, and
unity" Korea by pushing the
ROK forces into the sea. But
what adds to the worries of
our own commanders in the
area is the fact that the Rus
slams have increased their land
forces in the maritime prov
inces alone TO 80 divisions.
while their submarine fleet is
reliably reported to be IS units
strong. Their surface ships do
not worry us particularly.
What is the purpose of this
strong concentration and
against whom is it directed? 1t
is unlikely to be concentrated
so far north against the Chi
nese Nationalists or even the
South Koreans. And it GER
tainly is not q defensive"
force against the 7th Fleet.
Hence the logical suspicion
that the combined Communists
Chinese. North Koreans and
Russians) intend to stage a
surprise attack while the free
nations attention is focused
on the Middle East.
1t is remarkable that this
situation was fully foreseen

More Barbarisrn in Hun
gary"-that's the headline. But
it's not novel.
It makes one shudder today
to reread the pages OF world
history between 1888 and 1889.
1t produces the uneasy feel
ing that history is repeating
itself now and that a third
world war is coming. maybe
in a year or two, maybe before
1860.
The record shows that in the
1905 the failure Of Great
Britain. France and the United
States to work closely together
made it easier for the enemy
to carry on its aggression.
The record shows also that a
concert of power" was always
being extolled as an ideal, but
when it came down to brass
tacks, Great Britain. France
and the United States did
not cooperate as allies. The
aggresSor went on the as
sumption that there would be
no effective alliance. It took q
world war and the sacrifice Of
many innocent lives to con-
vince the enemy Of that mis-
taken assumption.
The cry In the 1930s was for
moral force-even as it is to-
day. An example was the ia
nous quarantine" speech
made in Chicago on October 5,
1887. by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt. 1t attracted world
wide attention.
In that speech, the pertinent
paragraphs were as follows.
If We are to have a world
In which we can breathe freely
and live in amity without fear,
the loving nations must
make a concerted effort to up
hold laws and principles on
which alone peace can rest
secure.
'The peace-loving nations
must make a concerted effort
in opposition to those viola
tons Of treaties and those ig-
mornings Of humane instincts
which today are creating a
state of international anarchy
and instability from which
there is no escape through
mere isolation or neutrality :. I.

true that the epidemic Of
world lawlessness is spreading.

tients in order to protect the
health Of the community
against the spread of that
disease"
Roosevelt did not spell out
what he meant by "quaran-
tine but it was interpreted
generally as meaning an eco
nomic embargo. Describing the
speech as a masterpiece" and
one the whole world had been
waiting to hear from the lips
Of the President Of the United
States, this correspondent
wrote on the day afterward:
"In the intercourse Of ma
tons, the stigma Of barbarism
hurts. When peace loving
peoples come to ostracize from
their midst the governments
which do violence to all hui
name principles. there is put
into motion the forces that
ultimately shame nations into
a change Of policy. II the de-
mocracieS Of the world stick
together and put a moral
quarantine on the leper gov
ernments Of the world. there
will be a sudden realization on
the part Of the peoples living
under those governments that

and world opinion shun them
as the enemies of mankind"

because Great Britain. France

follow through with the

abroad we're responsible. Brit
ain. France and the United

tragedy Of two years before

vaded Ethiopia. The League of
Nations ordered an embargo
on arms to Italy and par
ticularly banned shipments of
oil. But the principal nations
the United States. Great
Britain and France-couldn't
agree on who would pay the
bill growing out Of loss of
trade. BY 1886 the conquest of
Ethiopia was completed.

SCOUT CAMP ENDS; AWARDS 

The local Boy Scout camp was concluded Saturday evening with a Court of Honor being held at the CAA recreation hall.
 Fourteen Scouts enjoyed camp ing at Dexter. Despite the wind, which blew over a few tents, and the rain the Scouts earned many awards.
 Ray Arnold received his Star badge. This is the third award of this rank to be given in Nome.
 First Class badges were award ed to Guy Martin, Richard Smith, Grant Doyle, and David Barber.
 Charles Burnett and Joe Barber were awarded the Second Class badge.
 Tenderfoot badges were pre- sented to Gabriel Eognuk, Albert Diede, Tommy Boucher, Mike Cannon, Michael Simon, David Craft, and Wayne Wittie.
 In addition, Ray Arnold, Pete Barber and Scoutmaster Bob Emmons were called out to be members of the Order of Arrow, an organization made up of Scouts and Explorers who are outstand- ing campers and, above all else, are willing to forget themselves in service of others"
 At the conclusion of the Court of Honor, Grant Doyle, represent ing all the Scouts who attended the camp, made a presentation to Scoutmaster Emmons and M. Sgt. William Granfield, asst. scoutmas- ter, in appreciation for what they made possible during the past two weeks.
 Camp badges were awarded all boys who attended. Second year camp insignia were awarded Ray Arnold and David Barber; third year insignia to Peter Barber and Guy Martin.
 The most common complaint heard at camp was: "Why do we have to go home?"

THE RADAR SCREEN

Secret testimony, recently made available for the first time reveals that the Navy has succeeded in send ing low-flying bombers 1000 miles into the center of the United States without their being detected by radar screens
 In other words, the Navy has demonstrated that radar is susceptible to the of failures that have plagued radar in World War IL Lowflyng planes in these days could escape radar detection by huggng the tree-tops and coming in low.
 The Navy test was significant because the Navy advised defense officials they testing the radar warning system, and the system the alert New ertheless, it failed to pick up the Navy bombers
 This revelation shows what might be done to U S.. industrial centers and strategic cities and other targets in of sudden emergency surprise attack. It proves that the United States is not yet ready to defend itself against nuclear attack and it is estimated that it will be several years before this country has an adequate radar warning system.

Two Workmen Die In Jump to Escape Burning Fisheries Plant

KODIAK, 1.-Two workmen died of injuries received Friday when they jumped from the burn ing Pacific American Fisheries plant at Port Moller, 325 miles southeast of here on the Alaska Peninsula.
 The men, among more than a dozen forced to jump from the two-story building in which they were sleeping, were Silvestre Robinos, 68, San Francisco, and Alyandro Paalan Castillo, 55, of Delano, Calf.
 The fire was first noticed by fishermen working on boats about am. It spread rapidly, forcing the men to jump for their lives.
 Officials said a range in the galley probably was responsible for the fire.
 KODIAK, REArencio Layson, Navy steward, was killed and a companion injured when their automobile plunged over cliff near the Kodiak Naval Station early Thursday.
 Layson's companion, also a steward, was not seriously hurt.
