Peiping Reported Shifting Some Units
From Korea as Monsoons End

north had no substance. The
United Nations high COM
mand in Seoul, headed by an
American general, doled out
gasoline to the ROK tanks
and trucks on a weekly and
sometimes on a day to day
basis. Hence, from the prac-
tical point Of view it would
have been impossible for the
ROK army to move without
Washington's approval. And,
Of course. this could not be
forthcoming since it had been
decided for a long time that
the U. N. and Korean forces
must remain on the defen-
Sive.
Although Washington's
policies were we'll known by
the Chinese Communists they
had to keep their forces in
readiness to support the
North Koreans because they
regarded Rhee as unpredict-
able, as did our own State De-
partment. Peiping feared that
Rhee might some morning
order elements Of his forces
to move north and the United
States would be presented
with an accomplished fact.
Since the Chinese did not
fully rely on the North
Koreans it was necessary for
Peiping to keep strong ground
and air forces north of the
38th Parallel which could
have been more useful in
other Asian areas.
Besides these considera-
tions, the change of regime
in South Korea produced
other changes which per-
mitted the Peiping regime to
withdraw some of its forces
from their Pyongyang puppet
state. The new ROK govern
ment has found that revolu-
tions are expensive for the
nations economy. Although
the student rebellion in Seoul
was swift. it produced a
serious economic dislocation.
The hwan (the Korean cur
rency) has dropped from
1000 to 1000 to the dollar
since the fall Of the Rhee
regime.
The economic condition
throughout South Korea is
regarded as serious and may
lead to a serious crisis un-

less the United States agrees
to increase its economic aid.
Because Of this economic
crisis, the new ROK govern
ment has decided to reduce
the number of its troops by
at least 100000 and there is
talk it may go as high as
100000. For the last two
years the United States had
been urging Rhee to de-
mobilize four divisions, some
$4,000 men.
We have increased the
strength of our own First
Pentomic and 7th Infantry
Divisions by some 1000 men,
but these are mere replace
ments for the native Koreans
whom we had enlisted in our
nations forces in that coun-
try. Furthermore, the new
Korean government has been
purging the senior officers in
the army, navy and air force.
The new generals with little
or no battle experience have
replaced men who had fought
in the wars and had been
trained in the United States.
This, too, is regarded as hav-
ing weakened the battle
readiness of the ROK forces.
All these factors together
have given the Chinese Reds
the opportunity to remove a
large portion of their troops
to areas where they could be
more active against the
United States friends and
allies.

about that. He didn't know.
He didn't even understand

course, that he did know the

Here we have the Shrewdly
contrived pattern. Those who
interrogated young Powers
did a sound job. They took
down every word. They went
over and over them. They

made it into the lines Powers
spoke. 1t was his confession.
But the men who asked the
questions and who typed
them for him to answer
worked with all the skill of
a playwright.
Powers was scared, he said.
And, of course, he was. Any
man would have been scared.
But, he said, he did not want
the colonel or his friends to
think he was a coward. So,
he went - but he didn't
want to and wished he were
not going.

be many millions more of
Asians and Africans hearing

The inference was plain.
Here was an ocent
young man, the son of a
worker. The wicked imperi-
alists Of capitalism had taken
this young man and seduced
him with money. They, the
makers of wars, had per-
suaded him to do an evil
thing. He was obviously a
victim Of the warmongers.
and of the capitalists who
exploit the sons and daugh-
tiers of the working class.
This was the theme. And
they staged it we'll. And why
not? They had written the
words and music.
Young Powers was led to
say he did not like the job.
He was sorry he took it. He
regretted he had made the
fight. He was afraid to do
so, but his colonel had told
him it was perfectly safe. He
did not know it would wreck

The Trouble With Opinion Polls

generally speaking, they con-
stitute an honest attempt to
find out what is likely to
happen before it happens.
The real difhculty with
polls is that most of those
who make them don't un-
derstand how to set up a
scientific sample. Much re-
search is conducted every
day and millions of dollars
are spent every week by
commercial organiza t ions
trying to find out what the
public thinks about a product
as, for instance, to deter
mine what kind of a car to
build. But it doesn't do
much good to interview the
owner of an old Chevrolet
as to what he thinks of the
power steering in a Cadillac.
Nor does it help to interview
a teetotaler as to what he
thinks Of Scotch versus bour-
bon. There has to be a sys-
tematic elimination of GER
tain answers.
In politics 1t doesn't help
much to ask someone who
voted four years ago for one
ticket whether he will switch
this year. For the voter in
question may be whimsical
and without conviction. 1t
matters more If in a wheat
area where normally a large
Republican vote is cast the
voters say they will vote
Democratic. It matters also
whether, in a prosperous ur-
ban community, those who
voted one way during the
1858 depression now say they
will vote the other way.
Maybe the problem Of the
pollster in 1860 is best il

Reports reached Wash
ington over the week end
that four Chinese Commu-
mist divisions are about to
reach the borders Of Laos.
Responsible offlcials who
have been keeping an eye on
the trouble spot in South
east Asia believe the reports
to be true although there is
no official confirmation as
yet.
With the monsoon season
nearing its end, new Ccm-
munist aggressions in the
area are expected. They
form a political pattern Of
the active political game
which international commu-
nism has been playing for
several months to embar-
rass us all over the world.
After Huh Chung became
acting president of South
Korea he announced that the
policies of the deposed
Syngman Rhee to unity
Korea by moving north with
his ROK forces had been
abandoned. He said that ef-
forts for unity have not been
abandoned but will be made
exclusively by peaceful
means.
After the announcement
the Chinese Communists who
were keeping strong forces
behind the 38th Parallel Or
dered the withdrawal of an
important portion of their
troops. The suspicion ex-
pressed by American military
observers was that they were
being transferred to other
scenes Of possible action,
such as Shensi or the bor-
ders Of Laos or Wet Nam. 1t
appears now that the four
divisions have been making
their way toward trouble
ridden Laos.

tained nothing particularly

that in America young men

made other flights which
penetrated into Soviet terri
tory. He was sorry after he
was caught and subjected to
questioning. This is a hu-
man thing. 1t is not in the
tradition Of spies Nathan
Hale or Sam Davis. But 1t
was human, and Powers, un-
like Hale and Davis, was in
the grip Of a new technique.

Straw Votes Held Risky in Close Race
And Too Costly to Be Comprehensive

stated a preference in the
advance poll. Sometimes the
stay-at-home vote can be as
decisive. as the vote at the
polls.
Then comes the question
of how to make UP a sample.
Scientific methods have been
used and many improve
mentS made in the technique.
Certainly, a person who isn't
eligible to vote should be ex-
cluded. Also someone who
says he doesn't intend to
vote for either candidate
ought to be put in a separate
category. An undecided"
voter may simply be a reti-
cent individual who doesn't
trust the pollster and fears
he may repeat to some neigh
Dor an answer given to a
question.
The Gallup Poll is the most
scientific devised as yet, but
it, too, suffers from the fact
that for reasons of expense 1t
has to divide the country by
regions. Yet presidential elec-
tions are decided by States
and not by regions. Even the
South has sometimes contra
dicted its own historic pat
tern, and so has the West.
Then why have the Gallup
polls, for instance, turned out
to be right so many times?
Because, when there is a
sweep or landslide, a pre-
election poll taken on a re-
gional or a national basis is
by coincidence likely to have
caught the actual trend. If
there's to be a landslide, most
of the polls will have indicat-
ed a victor. It's only when
the elections are close that
the polls are likely to be
wrong. This happened in
1948, when a switch Of less
than $4,000 votes would have
turned the whole result in
the Electoral College upside
down and given Gov. Thomas
Dewey the victory.
Notwithstanding these mis-
haps in polls, the people like
to read about them. Many
newspapers conduct them.
Some are more scientifically
prepared than others but,

DAVID LAWRENCE

Public opinion polls are in
the news again and, of course,
are getting the usual criti-
cism-depending on whether
the results show ones own
candidate ahead or behind.
There is, to be sure, no per-
feet poll-unless it's the one
the whole electorate partici-
pates in on election day. But
polls do serve a useful pur-
pose-they stimulate public
interest in campaigns and
make the apparently losing
side work harder.
The real trouble with the
polls in a presidential year is
that to take a really compre-
hensive one costs too much
money. The perfect pre-elec-
tion poll would have to be
taken not only in every State
Of the Union, but in every
section Of every State.
For, fortunately or unfor-
tunately. the election isn't
decided by popular vote.
Presidents have been elected
who didn't have a majority
Of the popular vote but won
a majority of the electoral
votes.
Thus, what possible good is
1t to show a poll in a given
town in one end Of the State
unless a poll is taken in the
other end? Is it significant
also If the rural areas are
mixed in with the urban
areas? How can one tell how
an election is going if the
farmers who are diScontent-
ed in Iowa are Jumped in
with the contented farmers
Of Western New York, and
yet this is presented as a poll
Of farmers?
The British experience with
pools in the last parliament
