The Washington Notebook
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —Questions about the
United Nations—its possible strength and its appar=-
ent weaknesses — are emerging as principal side
issues to controversy over the MacArthur firing.
General MacArthur’s nrain complaint seems to be
that his operations in Korea were hampered by
United Nations policies, relayed to him through
directives from the U. S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.
At one point in his testimony, General MacAr
thur recommended that the United States “go it
alone,” if necessary, in a more aggressive war
against the North Korean and Chinese Communists.
By this he meant carrying on the war without
United Nations help.
Secretary of Defense George Marshall in his
opening testimony revealed how the United Nations
had blocked certain U. S. proposals for carrying on
the Korean war. One he mentioned specifically was
a proposal for “hot pursuit.” It would have allowed
UN air {orces to chase Red aircraft across the Yalu
river to their bases in Manchuria, Representatives
of the 13 nations associated with the U. S. in the
Korean war voted unanimously against any such
policy. Apparently they felt it would only enlarge
the war, bringing the Red China and Russian air
forces into the war in greater strength.
“8o,"” said General Marshall, “we had to drop
that.”
CZITICISM OF WAR GROWS IN U. S.
Faced with growing casualty lists and*increased
costs and inconveniences from the Korean war,
there is a growing tendency in the United States to
blanre the United Nations for getting us into this
mess, There is also a growing tendency to blame
the United Nations for not doing more to get us out
of said mes®, or preventing the United States from
bringing it to a speedier conclusion.
Many instances can be cited: allowing Red
China’s delegates to come to Lake Success and tes
tify against what .they ealled “U. S. aggression” in
Korea; India’s determined opposition to declaring
Red China an aggressor; recent disclosures on ship
ment of war materials to Red China by British
Commonwealth countries; reluctance to impose
blockade and economic sanctions against Red China.
All these things contribute to the low esteem in
which the United Nations is now held by nrany
Americans,
Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio voiced this sen
timent in his speech to the recent IJ. S. Chamber
of Commerce meeting in Washington, and got ap
p'uded for it:
*The United Nations was a weak reed on which
to rely,” said Senator Taft. Hle went on to say that
he would be in favor of continuing the United
Nations as a diplomatic body to discuss questions
a ' perhaps work out peace. ]
~at as @ means of stopping aggression, which
was the main purpose of the United Nations Char
ter, it has proved a complete failure. .., When the
Ca.nese attacked we found ourselves in a second
war, in a second aggression, and on that the United

pa.ontiy believed by a lot of peopie.
GALLUP DIGS UP INTERESTING STATISTICS
1 the face of it, therefore, it is somewhat sur
pr.sing to find a Gallup poll reporting 49 percent
of all persons interviewed favoring “one world gov
ernment” which should have control over the
armed forces of all nations. Of those better inform
ed on the subject, 53 percent said the United Na
tions should be made that world government.
Thirty-seven percent said leave the UN as it is. The
other 10 percent were undecided.
This would indicate that, despite criticism, there
is strong support still for the United Nations idea.
General Marshall expressed the hopes of the UN
supporters when he commented on General Mac-
Arthur's “go it alone” philosophy.
“General MacArthur . . . would have us accept
the risk of involvement not only in an extension of
the war with Red China, but in an all-out war
with the Soviet Union. He would have us do this
even at the expense of losing our allies and wreck
ing the coalition of free peoples throughout the
world,” said Secretary Marshall.
There was another expression on this point not
long ago by Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia. His
country was once overrun by Italian aggression
ordered by Benito Mussolini. Now, 20 years later,
Ethiopian forces were embarking for Korea to join
the UN armies.
The emperor told them: “Remember that you are
about to pay a debt of honor for your homeland
whicl: was liberated thanks not only to the blood
of her patriots, but also to that of faithful allies,
likewise members of the United Nations. Remember
also that in paying this debt you are laying the
foundation for a universal system of collective se
curity for all nations of the world, be they great
or small, powerful or weak.”
I'm sorry, of course, but they held the battle on
my home grounds and I wore my Confederate uni
form. If you lose that-a-way, well . . . — A. B.

Qur Military High Command
Has Outstanding Ability
The military high command of the United States
is comprised of men with exceptional experience
and ability. This country is fortunate to have such
men available to plan our defenses.
General George C. Marshall, the chief military
tactician of the United States government during
World War 11, is Secretary of Defense and in that
capacity supervises the entire military establish
ment including the Navy, the Army, Air Force and
the Marine Corps.
Then there is the Joint Chiefs of Staff with
General Omar Bradley as chairman.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff include General Joe
Collins, chief of staff for the Arnry; General Hoyt
Vandenberg, head of the Air Force, and Admiral
Forrest Sherman, head of the Navy.
These men Ihap the military strategy of this
nation on a world-wide basis.
When President Truman the other day said he
has the benefit of the best collective military advice
in the country he was referring to General George
Marshall and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Recently there has been an attempt made by
Republican politicians' to undermine the nation’s
confidence in General Marshall.
Those responsible for this assault upon the ability
and character of General Marshall have served the
interests of the enemy by trying to strike down so
valuable ‘a public servant.
We believe, however, the American people have
better sense than to be misled into withdrawing
their confidence from General Marshall. They
could not strike thenrselves a more grievous blow
than to turn their back upon him.
In his testimony to the Senate committee inves
tigating the removal of General MacArthur for in
subordination, and for publicly fighting his gov
ernment’s policy in Korea, General Marshall de
scribed the experience and abilities of the members
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as follows:
“General Bradley has had considerable fighting
experience, and has commanded the largest force
of ground forces in history, our or anybody else’s
in the field; so, he is not inexperienced; aside from
being a very level-headed man, and one of great
honesty of purpose.
“General Vandenberg has commanded, I think,
the largest pursuit or battle formration of planes,
in contrast with bombers, of any man in history.
That is a considerable experience.
“Admiral Sherman has commanded ships in the
Pacific. He had one submarined from under him, a
carrier. He has been Nimitz’s deputy chief of staff
in the Pacific campaign. He is not, therefore, de
tached in his view of the Pacific. He . . . knows the
Mediterranean, and the principal people there from
the Middle East to Gibraltar and Spain.
“General Collins commanded a division which
termrinated the fighting in Guadalcanal. 1 believe
he got out of a sick bed to redeem the temporary
reverse we were suffering in the Russell Islands.
He commanded a corps in landing on Utah Beach.
“He captured Cherbourg in the first large cap
ture after Africa of Germans.
“He conducted a classic battle, which received
almost no publicity in this country, in destroying
large portions of the two armies remaining of the
Germans at Mainz in which I think his captures
alone were about 23,000, and the destruction was
considerably beyond that.
“I frankly doubt that this government will ever
be so fortunate as to have such a collection of ex
perience at one time in the Chiefs of Staff.”
Lompare Casualties
Becayse of the stress laid upon our Korean cas
ualties by General MacArthur and others, the idea
has got around that casualty rates and totals in this
conflict are worse than any that American fighting
men have ever known, Thus it may be wise to com
pare them with the record of some principal combat
units in World War IIL
Up until recently, the'six U. S. divisions in Korea
had lost 10,813 men killed. During about the same
span of time, six key American divisions which
fought from the Normandy beachhead to the Ger
man surrender lost 14,157 men killed. By this
measure, the Korean campaign is not our roughest
war.
Nor have casualties been mounting, as some peo
ple seem to believe. The rate was highest in the
first critical weeks last summer. The highest num
erical totals canmre in the weeks during and right
after the Inchon landings in September, 1950. The
December retreat from the Yalu river stood next
highest. Neither of those totals have since been
equaled. D
The President’s budget called for $403,000,000 to
put some life into the nation’s still sagging civil de
fense program. The House sliced that figure to
$186,750,000. The Senate Appropriations Commrittee
is proposing $84,000,000. In Congressional circles,
this is known as economy. In civil defense circles,
it is known as playing with fire. Jerhaps the un
controlled fire in the aftermath of an atomic bomb. |
Just how many crimes are to be committeed in‘
the sacred name of national defense? (The head of
Defense Transport Administration) shocked the
nation when he ordered . . . approval . . . of over
loading of commercial trucks in the name of nat
ional defense.—Senator Ed C. Johnson (D.-Colo.).
It (Communist propaganda) fills the world with
envy and hate, like breath on a frosty day, emerge
with every word these men speak. — Bertrand
Russell.

PROBLEMS OF OLD AGE SHOULD
BE MET WITH UNDERSTANDING
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
Written for NEA Service
Growing old is a problem. It is
not looked on with favor by the
man or woman who is getting el
derly and the vigorous relatives
who must care for an aged person
often find the task extremely try

The fact must be squarely faced.
More and more of us are living
well past the age of seventy and
although a surprisingly large num
ber continue to work and enjoy
pretty good health we cannot ex
pect to do as much or feel as well
as we did in the thirties or forties.
From the elderly person’s point
of view the problem is to adjust

INcREAsEnTE IEPH o " E EVEN BEFORE the most recent cost increases, telephone rates were

tion. The bones become more brit
tle and break more easily; there
fore more careemust be used to
avoid falls or other accidents.
The digestive system does not
adjust in old age to overloading or
abuse as well as before so that the
food must be more carefully se
lected and eaten in smaller quan
tities.
In the later years the muscles,
including the heart muscle, can
not stand as much, so that it is
foolish to exercise as strenuously
as earlier. The special senses—
hearing and vision — become less
acute and should not be abused.
Quite often older people com
plain that their memories are not
as good as they used to be, espe
cially for thinks that happened
only a short time before. Certain
ly they often repeat stories with
out realizing it, but their relatives
should realize that this is a trick
of the memory which cannot be
helped.
Normal Changes
All of these changes and many
others are perfectly mormal and
merely reflect the aceumulation of
years. Moreover the average old
er person can adjust to most of
them without much trouble and
they need not interfere with the
enjoyment of many things which
are quite suitable to the age and
physical condition. Old age need
nfit be an unhappy time of life at
all.
From the standpoint of more
vigorous relatives some under
standing of the particular prob
lems of the later years of life
should make the responsibilities
easier. But because the number of
old people is constantly increasing
there is a need for more homes
and institutions where they can be
well eared for and can associate
with othérs of ‘their age who share
the same interests and physical
capabilities.
