by San Bernardino and Miami.
But it still was ahead of such

From the end of World War

in the Washington area have
constructed enough new dwell

the housing existing in 1850 in
the District proper. The 242, 900

LETTERS TO THE STAR

War II ana the Korean nghC-
ing when the amount re-
quested for ammunition for
the Army was reduced. at all.
This reduction also was made
by the Republican-controlled
S0th Congress
Why are these statistics
about reductions in the budg-
cts requested for the Army
and for Army ammunition Of
interest in connection with
your editorial? They are Of
interest because your edi-
torial says. in effect. that
political" decisions Of Pres
ident Truman were respon-
sible for alleged unprepared-
ness in the Korean fighting.
You imply that the respon-
sibility. If any. was solely
that Of the President and
Secretary SON. The
figures published in Govern
!. ment Under Law suggest very
strongly that the reckless
reduction by the Republican
controlled 80th Congress may
have been the real factor.
The President obviously re
quested much larger sums
than were available, because
that Congress cut these
requests by the greatest
amounts in recent American
history, and the budget in
which they inflicted the cut
was the one with which the
Army had to work during the
fiscal year before the one in
which the fighting broke out
in Korea. The fact that the
Republican-controlled 80th
Congress cut the money
needed for Army ammunition
for the first time in that
years budget is an important
historical fact because later
on there were charges, largely
unsubStantiated, of ammuni-
tion shortages in Korea.
True. the figures noted re-
fer only to appropriations of
the Department of the Army.
But 1t was on the ground,
and not in the air or on the
sea. that the United States
suffered its reverses. Our
naval forces were adequate;
our air forces were adequate
for the purposes of the
Korean war. The refusal of
President Truman to spend
certain monies for expansion
Of the Air Force in no way
affected Americas ability to
obtain and maintain suprem-
acy Of the air over the Korean
battlenelds. This supremacy
was undisputed at all times
and was an important factor
in enabling the United States
ultimately to prevent the
overrunning of South Korea.
Americas shortcomings for
the Korean conflict were in
the ground forces of the
Army. And 1t was the Army's
budget that had been hacked
to pieces during the fiscal
year prior to the outbreak
Of the Korean fighting, not
by the President, but by the
Congress that was controlled
at that time by the Republi-
can Party.

Editors note: The point
the editorial attempted to
make was that the people"

Turkey and Cyprus

In his dispatch from Is
tanbul entitled Turkey Looks
at Reds on Cyprus. Con-
stantine Brown reiterates
familiar Turkish views which.
apart from, being persistently
inaccurate, are implicitly
critical Of the United States
policy. with respect to the
political future of Cyprus.
by stating that "Mr. Men
deres is skeptical Of the line
Washington Is drawing be-
tween national and interna-
tional communism"
According to Mr.. Brown,
the Turkish Premier first re-
CARDS the movement for free
dom on the part of Cypriots
as Soviet-inspired. and sec
ondly he will insist on parti-
ton Of the island in case of
q change in its status.
The statement that the
Cypriots' struggle emanates
from Communists is utterly
untrue. The Cypriots' yearn-
ing for freedom and preser-
walton of their national ira
ditions definitely originated
long before communism was
even conceived as a theory.
These aspirations were rec
ognized by the Prime Min
lister of Great Britain, w. L.
Gladstone. in a letter to the
Duke Of Westminster in 1897,
and later by the then Colo
NAL Undersecretary. Winston
Churchill. in a speech in Nj
COSTA, Cyprus, in 1907. Nu-
merous other British states
men and notableS have on
subsequent occasions voiced
similar sentiments.
The spirit Of freedom prev
alent in Cyprus in 1873 has
successfully been demon
strated by the genuine rep
resentative of Cypriots, the
head Of the Greek Orthodox
Church. which has through
the centuries retained its
spiritual and political lead
erShip. despite desperate at
tempts Of various conquerors
to subjugate it. Therefore,
today-as in the past-the
same spirit is being carried
on by another vigorous lead
er. Archbishop Makarios, and
not by the Communists, as
the Turks. through Mr..
Brown. enormously contend.
Nick c. Louis.
For Constantine Browns
information. the Cypriot
movement for freedom pre-
dates the Communist revolu-
ton in Russia itself. 1t is as
old as the British rule on
Cyprus. All the above cou-
pied with the well-known
fact that Archbishop Maka-
rios Is one Of the staunchest
anti i-Communist leaders in
the Middle East, should be
sufi1cient to persuade any
man of good faith that, the
Cypriot uprising is a pure
national movement for free
dom.
Mr.. Brown has finally
learned that there was once
the Greek Byzantium. I
sincerely hope that sooner or
later he will also learn that
Cyprus was part Of that
Greek Empire for over 800
years, so that ne may stop
repeating his argument that
Cyprus was never Greek"
