5 .. UN Secretary General Trygve Lie has been
¥ gto drum up more business, but he hasn’t
beon successful, either, What offers have come in,
M. Lie has forwarded to the State Department,
where the Merchant-Murdaugh commmittee takes
taem over.
Captain Murdaugh carries the offers over to the
Pcatagon for Secrerary Jonnson and the. Joint
( siefs of Staff to appraise. If the offers contain
a~vthing that General Douglas MacArthur can use,
tl - joint chiefs okay them,
r. Merchant handles matters from there. He
¢ s with the Washington ambassadors of the for
¢ 1 countries concerned, There are no formal trea
-1 drawn up. There's a minimum of red tape.
1 CISTICS PROBLEM IS TOUGH
this way Australian air units and Australian,
1 .sh, Canadian, Dutch and New Zealand naval
1 .s were rapidly assigned to U. S. Navy forces
suoporting General MacArthur's command in Ko
rc:n waters. And just recently the French have of
fc ed to send a naval vessel.
"“here are two reasons for wanting to get maxi
raum international aid for U. S. troops in Korea,
e first is political—a desire to have as nrany na
tions as possible in on the UN act. The second is to
procure and help move all useful supplies into the
5.000-mile “pipeline” that supports South Korean
1 sops. The logistics problem in this operation is
¢ of the most difficult parts of the campaign.
) this end, the offer of the Norwegian gevern
1t to supply merchant ships to haul supplies to
1- ea has been of particular interest. The only
¢ >stion is how many ships are available, whether
t oy are tankers or dry cargo ships, where they are
a 1 how soon they will be ready to load cargo.
"he first offer of ground troops — which are
nesded as badly as anything else—came from the
Chinese Nationalists on Formosa. Incidentally, this
oifer was not refused, There has been a delay, how
ever, because of a number of considerations. Now,
Thailand has offered a combat team of 4,000 troops,
and England is considering sending ground troops
iromr Hong Kong or Malaya.
So far, other nations have offered only materials
that they have in long supply. The Danes have of
tered medicine. Philippine Islands have offered
copra. Nicaragua has offered coffee and rubber.
Chile has offered nitrates and copper.
T OKEN AID WOULD BE APPRECIATED
Since the United States is now furnishing a cou
ple of billion dollars worth of military assistance to
Western European nations which aren't any too
strong as it is, maybe they can’t offer sizabie aid to
Korea, All it 'would mean would be that the U. S.
would have to bolster them up further. But even
token aid from these countries—something more
’tangible than just moral support — would be most
welcome.
One thing that may have held back offers of aid
is that the 50-odd countries supporting the UN res
olution against the Commies haven't known what
would be useful. General MacArthuy's headquarters
and the U. S, Joint Chiefs of Staff are now consid
ering issuance of a military shopping list of supplies
they might use.
Even money would be useful, but no country has
oifered any money, As a matter of fact, the ques
tion of who pays for what, in connection with this
oN effort, has not even been discussed.
The United States has insisted that all offers of
#'d be made to the Republic of Korea—not to the
7 8. or the UN. So far tnere have been no strings
t .d to any offers of aid received. But if there are
any billg in connection with this aid, you know darn
well who will have to pay them,
Seeking a scapegoat, some of our leadership has
employed the tactics of suppression of civil liberties,
—President Thomas Emerson of the National Law
yers' Guild,
I earnestly urge you to study this trend toward
centralization of government in this country.—Gove

Fean crisls,
India’s Ffort at Mediation
. .
Well-Meant, But Misquided
India’s efforts to mediate the Korean war are
well-meaning but misguided.
An exchange of notes between Prime Minister
Nehru and Premier Stalin brought forth a typical
piece of Russian blackmail: Let the United Nations
seat Commmunist China and steps might be taken
toward settling the war.
This is the effrontery of the pickpocket who,
caught stealing your wallet, wants to exact a price
for handing it back. The Soviet Union unsuccessful
ly tried the same game during the Berlin blockade.
Again this time the answer, from the United
States and other UN countries, has properly been a
firm “No.”
Secretary of State Acheson told Nehru UN mem
bers are not agreed on whether Red China should
have Nationalist China’s seat on the UN Security
Council. (This country disapproves but has let it be
known it would not veto the Communists’ admis
sion.)
Said Acheson to the Indian leader: “I know you
will agree that the decision should not be dictated
by an unlawful aggression or by any other conduct
which would subject the United Nations to coercion
and duress.”
The UN hasg ordered a cease-fire in the Korean
war and directed the invading North Koreans to
withdraw behind the 38th parallel which is their
border, We have said all along, and now reiterate,
that such action is the rock-bottom minimum we
will expect before mrediating the Korean problem or
discussing any other world issue with Russia,
To wander one inch from that insistence would
be to appease Russia, to reward aggression and en
courage further Soviet violations of the peace.
Stalin’s note to Nehru on Red China is pure canr
ouflage. Recognition or the communist regime by
the UN might well have been achieved this fall had
not the Korean war intervened, Sentiment among
several key nations was building up toward favor
able action, spurred perhaps by U, S. notice that we
would not oppose it.
Stalin did not have to order his North Korean
puppets to attack South Korea to gain UN accept
ance of Communist China. Nehru's good intentions
simply gave the Soviet premier an opportunity to
confuse world opinion, to pose as peace-minded at
the very moment he is pressing aggression.
To most of the free world his scheme Is as trans
parent as the Russian claim that Moscow is not
guiding the North Koreans. But Nehru, so desper
ately eager to steer a middle course and avoid of
fending anyone, is blinding himself to the real So
viet purposes,
Perhaps a Russian move against Indo-China, Iran
or Yugoslavia would clear his vision, The cause of
freedom badly needs India’s strength and prestige;
it should not be dissipated in futile attempts to bar
gain with a blackmailer,
- The Least We Can Do-
Senator . Taft of Ohio is complaining that Mr.
Truman’s economic mobilization proposals would
give the President “arbitrary control” over manu
facturers and farmers.
That is indeed correct. But no matter by what
name you choose to disguise it, this is & war we're
fighting in Korea. And war tends to be arbitrary.
It’s arbitrary, for instance, in the control it exer
cises over the lives of U. S. troops on the battle
front. A month ago they were either going through
the calm routine of garrison soldiers in Japan, or
were back in the United States. :
You might say: “They asked for it. They joined
the Army.” It's not so simple as that, We're all one
people. Those are OUR soldiers out there. And the
very least we can do is to make every necessary
home front sacrifice for their support — without
grumbling,
Nobody likes compulsions and “arbitrary con
trols.” But you don’t die from them. They're'a small
price to pay to provide American fighting men with
the weapons and the reinforcements they need.
There is really no reason in the world for dis
agreements between peoples.—President Truman.
America today is richer in opportunities than
ever. I want to dispel the idea that you graduates
are going out into the world at a time when oppor
tunities have dwindled away,”—Paul G. Hoffman,
ECA administrator,
As long as the seeds of hatred and tyranny and
aggression are sprouting anywhere, freedom every
where is threatened. — Governor Earl Warren of
California. ;
Every American fraternal organization that be
lieves in the fundamental vaiidity of American in
stitutions must accept some degree of responsibility
for the defense of these institutions.—Vice President
Alben Barkley.
This government is going to go on much longer
than a lot of- people fear.—British Food Minister
Maurice Webb, on Labor Party’s six-vote majority
in House of Commons. «
Business in Europe is very active. Part of this
activity is due to the Marshall Plan, — President

Boxer Mickey Walker's Story
Will Go Before The Cameras
By ERSKINE JOHNSON
NEA Staff Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD — (NEA) — Be
hind the Screen: Ex-champ Mic
key Walker's life story will be
filmed as “The Toy Bulldog.” But
first it will be published as a
100,000-word book, just completed
by his 20-year-old daughter, Pat.
For two years Walker, the only
man ever to hold four titles, has
been telling Pat the fabulous yarn
—how he was born with a black
eye, learned to fight because nhis
mother kept him in curls until he
was 9, earned $3,500,000 in the
ring, spent most of it, rémarried
the wife he divorced after 18 years
and was inspired into becoming
an artist by the movie, “The Moon
and Sixpence,”
The little black-haired, flat«
nosed Irishman expresses no
amazement over his daughter’s
feelings for the story of his fight
ing career. He says:
“She has an instinet for the
ring. She sat there typing and
ducking.”

Bulldog—Mickey Rooney or Audie

Sheep Replace Man With Hoe
In Louisiana Sugar Cane Belt
“Quick, somebody call the Wil
kinsons at Poplar Grove! Tell them
the sheep are in the sugar cane!”
That call might have alarmed
many Louisianians two years ago
—but not today.
Sheep are controlling the tall
prolific Johnson grass in the sugar
cane fields. It is a pest that has
yearly cost cane growers hundreds
of thousands in dollars in extra
labor and in reduced profits.
Prior to 1948, very few sheep
could be found in the 16 parishes
comprising the sugar cane belt in
Louisiana.
Johnson grass has been a major
hazard in growing -sugar cane,
with planters having tried hoe
ing, mechanical equipment, and
chemicals to keep it under con
trol. The cost of Johnson grass
control, before “sugar sheep,”
varied from $lO to $25 an acre.
Procedure Explained
During a labor shortage two
years ago, a result demonstration
was set up at Poplar Grove Plan
tation, West Baton Rouge Parish,
in which sheep, under controlled
grazing conditions, were used to
aid the depletion of Johnson grass.
The demonstration requires hav
ing fields fenced with woven wire
and turning the sheep into the
fields when cane plants are from
18 to 24 inches high—the number
of sheep to the acre being determ
ined by the grazing available.
They are kept in the fields until
approximately Oct. 1; and ewes
are bred so they will begin to
lamb Jan. 1, which is after cane
harvesting season. The growers
retain ewe lambs as replacements
and sell wether lambs as milk-fat
lambs.
Results were so satisfactory that
a “sugar ecane field day” was heldl
to point out that sheep could be
used to eontrol Johnson grass. |
During 1949, there were 34 Su- |
gar-cane farmers carrying result
demonstrations in 11 parishess in
which 15,000 head of sheep
(ranging from 50 to 1,00070 n a‘
plantation) were used to graze
sugar-cane fields. The number‘
was reduced, through culling, to |
7,000 ewes, the majority of which 1
were bred to mutton-type rams |
and carried through the winter.
(The number was up again to'
16,000 head by new-lamb crop and.
purchases on June 1, 1950) All
demonstrators who followed good
management practices were suc
cessful. Five demonstrations were
unsatisfactory and were discon=-
tinued. All successful demon
strators are using sheep again in
1950.
Success Reported
Examples of results secured are:
