GNucIeor VS.. Conventional Forces
Institute Of the University Of

Institute Of the. University Of
Pennsylvania. It deals real
istically with the winning Of
the cold war on all fronts
military, psychological and
economic. Here are some ex-
cerpts from the book:
Limited war can be de-
fined as a conflict short of
general war in which Amer
ican forces will or will not
use atomic weapons to
achieve national objectives.
These definitions are ade-
quate-provided we do not
let them lead us into the
trap of misplaced abstrac-
tions. The realities of STRAIT
egy are multidimensional.
"The conflict between the
free world and the Commu-
nists embraces the full range
of force and persuasion from
peaceful competition and ne
gotiation at one end to nu-
clear wars Of annihilation on
the other. =.
ITO base our strategy on
the idea that nuclear war is
'unthinkable' is to make such
a war more likely. If, how
ever, we cleave to the idea
that nuclear war is possible,
it will probably never occur"
The basic ( conclusion
reached is that America and
her allies have failed to
rally their moral and mate
rial strength sufficiently to
enhance and extend freedom
and make it prevail over
tyranny"
The new debate is Of trans
cendent Importance. 1t would
be a mistake to suppress dis
cussion, as some misguided
members Of Congress imply
when they argue that the
Rusk memorandum should
not have been publicized. 1t
is rather the essence of SEN
sible policy to bring out in
the open all broad aspects
of strategy. For discussion
could help the free world
understand and appraise the
Communist menace, and per-
haps the peoples Of the So
Wet Union also would become
informed on what their own
government is doing to
threaten their safety.

Republicans are concen-
trating money and energy on
Texas this month in the hope
Of electing a Senator in an
upset which win embarrass
the Kennedy administration
and inspire their own party
workers.
The seat at stake was
vacated by Vice President
johnson in early JANUARY.
Mr.. johnson had sprudently
run for Vice President and
reelection, an unusual priv
ilege afforded by Texas law.
Republican hopes rest
chiefly on . simple statistic.
They have one candidate.
John Tower. Democrats have
A and may have so by Sat-
urday when the time for fl
ing expires. Furthermore.
their large collection en-
braces many well known
names of proved political
appeal.
All these aspirantS have a
month to pull ahead or pull
out. II no one Of them polls
better than half the total
primary vote April 4, the
Governor must within 10
days set the date for O. rum
off between the two top con-
tenders.
Nobody expects the next
Senator to come out Of the
primary, but Republicans
are confident Mr.. Tower will
make the rul1-off. Theil

Lone Republican Enters the Campaign
For Senate Seat Vacated by Johnson

reasons are both specific and
general.
He polled $4,000 to Mr..
Johnson's 100000 last No
vember. The campaign put
him in training and acquaint-
ed him with the problems in
each area Of the State.
Texas Republicans were
pleasantly surprised by other
aspects Of their Statewide
showing last fall. They had
managed TO procure at least
token candidates" for every
State office, none Of whom
had any serious expectation
Of winning or tried hard to
do so. None won, yet not
one polled fewer than 100000
votes. ...
The Texas minority is
counting on the general drift
toward q two-party State and
, on Democratic factionalism
which is intense. The Vice
President and Senator Ralph
Marlborough, a loyalist liber-
al, have never got on and
their relationship has not
been improved by the patron
age monopoly so far accord
ed Mr.. Johnson by President
= Kennedy.
Some animosity exists to-
ward Mr.. johnson for taking
second place on the Kennedy
ticket and thereby depriving
the State Of the great power
he welded as Senate Demo
cratic leader. He Is criticized
also for running for two Jobs

instead Of making sure Of
the Senate seat at least.
Neither Mr.. johnson nor
Senator Marlborough, how
ever, can significantly and
openly intervene in the first
primary for both have allies
among the many candidates.
The very rich and very
conservative william Blake

down the johnson place by

Representative Jim Wright,
State Attorney General viii
Wilson, Maury Maverick, jr.
and State Senator Henry
Gonzales are perhaps the
best known Of the Democratic
hopefulS. ''t -r
Senator Blakeley, through
much to the right Of Mr..
johnson, contributed to Mr..
Johnsorl's own campaigns
and to other Senatorial can
didateS for whom Mr.. john
son appealed to him. But
Representative Wright has
fought at Mr.. Johnson's side
and for Speaker Rayburn.
Senator Marlborough would
find Mr.. Maverick or posi-
bly, Mr.. Gonzales more con-
genial company. All hands
are careful to praise Wilson.
Republicans hope that If
and when Mr.. Tower makes
the run-off they can per-
, suade that distinguished
Texan-born politician now at
Palm Springs, former Presi-
. dent Eisenhower, to drop in
and say a good word for him.

The title Of quietest man
in the Kennedy cabinet goes
now to the man about whom
it was once supposed the
loudest controversy would
swirl, Attorney General Rob-
ert Kennedy.
Robert Kennedy wholly ap-
preciateS the helpfulness Of
being Brother Bob to Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy. But
he is fully aware also of the
human difficulties of the re-
lationship. His critics have a
built-in and standing oppor-
tunity to leap upon the
slightest instance Of any
seeming aggressiveness and
to cry out: Bobby is throw
ing his weight around" He
is trying to give them no
smallest chance. Not unnat-
urally, he likes his brother
and doesn't want to be the
agent for harming his ad-
miniStration.
Indeed, in these early days
he is running the Depart
ment Of Justice with almost
ascetic reserve, saying moth
ing, staying out of politics
and tending strictly to busi-
ness. His press officers, for
the moment, are like farmers
paid not to plant corn. They
are far more inclined to play
everything down than to play
anything up. Headlines they
flee from, rather than pur-
sue.
Nevertheless, the wheels
are turning in Justice.
And 1t is possible to discern,
through the paper curtain of
a reticence Of good taste
which the young Attorney
General has Stoically hung up
there, certain interesting
plans.
Even these plans are
acknowledged only in low
key, and when one is told Of
them he is also warned that
nobody is making any great
claims for them. The At
torney Generals experience
in a hard school, that Of a
congressional counsel, has
taught him that it is incom-
parably better to perform
than to promise--and fatal
to promise an ounce more
than can be later performed.
With these qualifications
in mind, this is the present
position in the principal
problems which will challenge
Attorney General Kennedy:

ticularly interstate gambling,
as dangerously on the rise.

ometin1eS the obvious Is
overlooked. There has been,
for instance, q lot Of contro-
versy in the press about Q
build-up Of conventional
forces" Some fears have
been expressed that nuclear
weapons might not be
stressed hereafter. It turns
out that Secretary Of State
Dean Rusk has written a
memorandum about it that
has stirred UP a good deal Of
curiosity. But he says en-
phatically that whatever is
done on conventional arms
will not lessen the impor-
tance Of the arsenal Of nu-
clear weapons.
How has all this discussion
arisen2 The answer seems
very simple. A new Secretary
Of Defense, Robert McNa-
mara, takes hold in the
Pentagon. He has at his side
q variety Of advisers on mill
tary problems, giving him
conflicting opinions as to
what ought or ought not to
be done. But, being an in
dividual with q direct and
penetrating mind, he asks,
in effect, of the Department
of State a natural question:
What kind Of war do you
think we are likely to have
in the next few years? Tell
me, so I can give you the
kind of force that can win
that war, or at least keep
the enemy from winning it."
So the Secretary Of State
prepares a memorandum. 1t
gives rise to an emphasis on
limited war, without perhaps
stressipg that much contro-
verted term. Anyway, rather
belated attention now is be-
ing given to an appraisal Of
the strength of our conven-
tional forces.
For several years now, in
study groups and at meetings
Of Government officials and
a vast body Of experts in
the field Of foreign policy
throughout the United States,
there has been Q debate on
Evening star., 1961-03-03
Debate on Issue Held Vital to Nation,
Bringing All Aspects Into the Open

theories Of strategy. One Of
the leading exponentS Of the
doctrine that it is important
to prepare for limited wars
is Henry A. KisSinger, director
Of Harvard'S Defense Study
Center, who was recently ap-
pointed by President Ken
nedy as a conSultant to him
on national security prob
lens. DR.. KisSinger wrote a
book In 1857 called "Nuclear
Weapons and Foreign Pol
ICY" It attracted much in
terest inside and outside Of
governmental circles, for its
main point was this: If a
stalemate develops in nuclear
weapons, what kind Of mill
tary forces do the United
States and its Allies need for
other kinds Of war?
With more and more talk
about negotiations for arms
control, especially in the field
Of nuclear weapons, it is
quite natural that the plan
ming boards, in and out Of
the Government, should be-
gin thinking about limited
wars that might enSue. AS
an example. there wasn't a
nuclear bomb dropped in the
three year Korean war, yet
about 2.5 million persons
were kille d or wounded in
that conflict.
The real question today is
whether a war of the Korean
type may break out in Africa
or the Middle East or the Far
East. This is the basic issue
that is troubling the Ken
nedy administration. Secre-
tary RuSk's memorandum,
which he explained to the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, goes to the heart
of the matter.
Perhaps the most interest
ing and persuasive book on
the subject came out just last
week. It is called "a For
ward Strategy for America"
and was written by Robert
Strausz Hupe, william r.
Kintner and Stefan T. Pos,

quent splitting was advised.
The Army burned the cloth
ing and tents Of the dead but
still they died.
Few paid much heed to
the ever-present mosquitos-
save to slap at them and to
curse them.
For 10 years, DR.. Carlos
Finlay, a Havana physician,
had been insisting mosque
toes caused the disease. Reed
and his associates decided to
test it. There had to be vol
unteerS.
The plan was to capture
mosquitoes, let them feed on
the body Of a patient Ill with
yellow fever, and then al
low the same mosquitoes
across a period Of days-to
bite well men.
To volunteer was to risk
almost sure death.
But when DR.. Reed asked
for volunteers, some 20 of
them stepped forward.
One of them was the man
who sat talking in the law
office in Orangeburg-James
Leonard Hanberry. He vol
unteered that day in Camp
Columbia near Havana.
He was even then the only
man living who took both
tests-the mosquito and the
bed test.
There was a sound theory.
1t was that the deadly fever
was transmitted by the
clothing or the bedding in
which victims had died.
So q hut was built and
tightly screened. A stove was
put in it to provide excess
sive heat. From the hos
pitals were brought the fill
thy, vomit-Stained sheets,
bedding and sleeping clothes
Of the recently dead.
The volunteers slept in
these CHASTITY, sinking, hor-
rible habilaments for 2l con-
secutive nights.
Gould you sleep?" asked
James Hanberry.

"You know how 1t is" he
said, "a soldier can sleep
anywhere"
None Of these caught yel-
low fever.
Not all would take both
tests. Mr.. Hanberry did. He
was bitten by q mosquito
captive IN a tube-which,
some days before had fed on
the yellow body Of a feverish,
dying victim.
He took yellow fever.
"In about five days you
know" he said. after that
fifth day you either get we'll
or go down the road. My fever
was los. I lost 40 pounds In
nine days. They didn't give
us anything but water. No
food at ALL"
James Hanberry got we'll.
He remembered with deep
gratitude the soldier who
nursed him-Cus Lambers,
then living in Chicago. He
remembered with sadness the
two South Carolinians who
took the tests with him-Gus
Soontag and Levi Folk, both
long dead.
II guess I lived because I
was strong and healthy" he
said.
He didn't look or act like
a hero. A quiet, almost in
articulate man, he had moved
to Orangeburg a dozen years
before from Denmark, s. C.
He served as a bailiff in
the court, but he had one
other Job. On Sunday morn
ings, he unlocked the gates
Of the Orangeburg Cemetery,
and locked them at dark. In
1t are men and women who
died more than half-a-cen-
tury ago Of yellow fever - a
facet Of the story which has
in it a sort of ironic twist.
You may search the rec
ords Of all time and find
fewer examples Of moral or
physical courage greater than
that Of the men who stepped

There was an item on the
news wires from Orangeburg,
sc. It said that James Leon
ard Hanberry, So, had died In
q veterans hospital after a
long illness. He was, in a very
real sense, one Of the Ma
tion's major heroes. His vol
untary gallantry in 1900 had
helped eliminate the fright
full scourge of yellow fever. 1t
is no exaggeration to say he
made possible saving the lives
of hundreds Of thousands Of
persons.
A few years ago we sat
talking at q desk in a private
room of the law offices Of
j. D. Bryant at Orangeburg.
Mr.. Hanberry at the time was
working as q court bailiff.
Outside were the noises Of
a Southern small town-the
laughter OF persons walking
along the streets; the sudden
starting Of automobile mo-
tors at the curbs, and friends
calling across the way to one
another.
But. as we talked, one
could see Havana, Cuba, Of
SO years ago. hot and humid
in July, with panic and fear
ruling the city where the
dread carts went about, their
drivers crying in their soft,
sad Spanish, Bring out your
dead"
It was yellow fever-Yel-
low Jack, so-called from the
yellow quarantine flag.
Walter Reed, the Army doc
tor, son Of a Methodist
preacher In Virginia, had ar
rived to see what could be
done. Soldiers and civilians
daily were dropping with the
disease. A headache, fever,
the black vomit, which was
a hemorrhage from the stom-
ach mixed with bile, and
death save for the pitiful
few, was the schedule.
