Writer ReIished Stories He Heard There,
While Others ReIished the Place

Things went badly in Crete.
Malta was in danger. Greece
was a disaster and had to be
evacuated. Iraq had staged
an anti-British revolt. But
If it had not been for Gen.
Wavell's early successes
against the Italians the whole
Middle East might have been
lost. He had almost effusive
praise for some of his In
dian troops. He had borne
tremendous burdens. In that
first year of the great war he
had been at the center of six
huge important campaigns in
as many different theaters Of
combat. 1t was his fate to
meet a fresh, we'll supplied
Gen. Rommel when he, Gen.
Wavell, and his command
were exhausted.
There was talk of war and
poetry and, at last, a never
to-be-forgotten session was
adjourned. We were then
invited to proceed. to a club
identified as Boobies, where
there would be beer and port.
Conversation there, despite
the AFRAID hangings and the
warning sirens that meant a
hostile plane was somewhere
in the London area, turned to
other things. The gentleman
who had been at my right at
dinner revealed himself as a
reader of Ernest Hemingway.
We talked of him and his
books.
What character do you
like best?" he asked.
well, sir, I am not sure
about liking but the most
poignantly drawn, in my
opinion, is Lady Brett Ashley
in The Sun Also Rises"
you know" he said, that
the characters in that novel
are taken from real life?"
I nodded.

Peiping Attack Called Result of Accord
Between Khrushchey and Mao in 1859

Late in 1860, it was believed
that in the following year,
and surely in 1862, Russia,
with the support of the neu-
tralist bloc in the United
Nations, could muster suf-
ficient votes for Red China's
admission to the organiza-
ton. In 1861 the opponents
Of Red China girded for the
battle, but were confounded
when little effort was made
by the Red bloc. And in 1862,
Red China's admission was
brought up again-supported
by the Indian delegate-when
the war in India precluded
even q heated debate.
Piecing together Mr.. Khru-
-shchev's agreement with Mao

Red China and the perfume

1t had been sad. One could

"Her real life ending was
quite in keeping with that

the period of the novel she
went to your country and
married a young chap, an
artist, Of one of your Western
States. His family disinher-
tied him. They lived very
poorly. She developed tuber-
culosis and they moved to a
desert State and lived in a
village near some Indians.
When poor Brett died, Indian
friends were carrying her
casket on their shoulders
down a path from the small
hill where she and her hus-
band lived. One of them
stumbled. The coffin was
thrown to earth, the lid came
off, and poor Brett's ema-
ciated body was tossed out"
We sat silent for a while.
1t was a story to silence one.
Then We talked about other
novels and soon 1t was time
to go. The next day a British
newspaper man asked how
the evening had gone. I said
it had been a memorable one,

had known Lady Brett Ashley

that we had ended up at q

any three year period here
tofore in peacetime.
But the public is entitled
to know why the official fig
ureS in the current fiscal
year budget were suppressed
until just after the congress
sional election this month.
In every year since 1856,
the mid-year review has been
made available much earlier
than the time the estimate
was given out this week. Thus,
in 1856, it was published on
August %. In 1857, it came
out on october l. In 1858, it
was issued on September IL.
In 1859, it was disclosed on
September "a.
AS for 1860, the figures
were released on october 4.
This was during the Eisen-
hover administration, and
the people had at least a
month before the election to
pass Judgment on the facts
revealed about the fiscal poll
icy of the administration in
power. Even in 1861, when
there was no election, the
mid year review was avail
able in October.
The excuse that doubtless
will be given for the delay
this year is that Congress
didn't adjourn until October
ID, but the fact is the figures
could have been issued before
the election if desired by the
administration, particularly
since the mid-year review
just issued this week is an
abbreviated version Of those
of the prior six years and is
much more of a summary
than a detailed review.
What the public didn't
know during the election
campaign was that the esti-
mated rate of spending has
risen from 1925 billion to
$93.7 billion, even though the
estimated receipts were de-
clining from 500 billion to
85.9 billion.
The Government knew that
its receipts were declining,
but the Democratic Party,
VIII h controlled Congress,
was authorizing expenditures
far above the intake.
Actually, the national debt
is growing year by year be-
cause of the perennial def
cts. The Democratic Party

Officials Criticized as Having Withheld
News of BUDGET Till After Elections

Why were the American
people not told before the
congressional election that
the Federal budget would
show a deficit this fiscal year
Of an estimated $7.8 billion?
Why did President Kennedy
in his message to Congress
only last January make an
estimate of a surplus and
lead the people to believe for
the last 10 months that there
would be no deficit at all in
the current fiscal year?
These questions are being
asked because they go to the
root of democratic govern
ment in contrast with a to-
talitarian state where the
facts are manipulated and
the truth is for certain in
tervals concealed from the
people.
Certainly the reason could
not have been an ordinary
error in estimating the fig
ures for the current fiscal
year. which runs from July
. l, 1862, to June 80, 1868. The
Treasury must have known
for several months that such
a large discrepancy did not
justify the continuing i'm
preston derived from the
optimistic estimate made last
January.
Could politics have been
the reason? The January pre-
diction of a Federal surplus
of 1853 million for this fiscal
year was used all through the
campaign to emphasize the
comparison with the big defi-
cit of the Eisenhower admin
Stration in fiscal year 1859.
This was a red figure Of $12.4
billion-the largest in any
peacetime year.
When. however, the $7.8
billion deficit estimated for
fiscal year 1868 is added to
the $6.3 billion deficit for the
fiscal year 1962-both under
the Kennedy administration
it amounts to SAL billion
for the two years. Whether
it was incurred in one year
or two, it's still a total def
cit of huge proportions. Even
without the tax cut now be-
ing promised, the 1864 deficit
is expected to be in excess of
$40 billion, making a total
of about $24 billion in only
three years. No such total of
deficits has been run up in

ROME.-The Communist
Chinese aggression against
India should not have come
as a surpriSe-especially to
the Indian government. The
present war is the result Of
an agreement reached be-
tween Mao Tse-tung and
Nikita Khrushchev when the
latter visited the Chinese die
tator in 1859. That meeting
came direct ly after Mr..
Khrushchev's visit to the,
United States as the guest of
President Eisenhower.
The usual meaningless
communique was given to the
public at the end of the
meeting between the two
Communist leaders. Later a
high-ranking Indian officer
told this reporter the essence
Of the agreements. lament
ing that both Prime Minister
Nehru and HIS shadow, v. K.
Krishna Menon, dismissed
the intelligence as pure fab
rication. On November 3,
1859, this column reported
the information obtaine d
from that conversation:
"One of the top subjects
agreed on last month between
Prime Minister Khrushchev
and Mao Tse-tung was a
plan for the division of the
Asian subcontinent. e..
In a nutshell, this agree
ment provides that China will
endeavor in the coming years
to gradually take over, by
force or infiltration, Burma
and India. The Soviet Union
will do the same by the same
m e tn DDS to Afghanistan,
Pakistan and Iran.
Thus the two colossi from
the north have been making
a working arrangement which
is expected to be put into eff
feet over the next 10 years or
so, depending on interna-
tional conditions, to divide
the countries bordering the
Indian Ocean directly or in
directly"
Perhaps the Communist
Chinese-Indian war also ex-
plains a strange omission in
the last important Commu-
mist directive, that of Mos

ment of the 81 Parties. In
that statement of some 90

paragraph reads: "A more

which one 18th century duke

. In London, in the early
summer of 1943, an invitation
came to be a guest at the
dinner meeting of a small
discussion group. It's custom
was to meet once a month
for dinner, to hear a paper
read, and then to discuss it.
But on this particular eve
ming there was to be no pa
per. Instead, Gen. Sir Arch
ibald Wavell, hero and victim
of the campaign in Africa,
and lately named Viceroy to
India, would talk, and there
would then be questions. The
invitation was eagerly and
gratefully accepted.
The evening with Gen.
Wavell remains as one Of
several enduring and reward
ing m e m cries. He was a
grizzled warrior, with one eye
gone. But he wrote poems
and his memory was an al
most unbelievable storehouse
Of what he called "other
mems flowers" He talked
that evening with obvious
affection for the troops he
had commanded.
