The Washington Notebook
By PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—(NEA)—For a guy who is about
to be given the sack, have his head cut off, or
something, Secretary of State Dean Acheson seems
awfully relaxed and enjoying it. At his most recent
press conference he was just as full of fun as Price
Stabilizer Mike Di Salle. He wisecracked at every
thing, He even had a visiting delegation of stoical
West German Bundestag members laughing.
The Germans are here on a transcontinental tour
to observe the American democratic processes in
action. Secretary Acheson said the press conference
was one of those institutions.
He said his only regret was that there weren’t
any photographers present with their flashbulbs to
make it a full show. Because part of the training
every American public official receives is on how
to think while sun spots explode in front of his
eyes.
Then a reporter asked what about this speech
on Red China that Assistant Secretary Dean Rusk
had made in New York? Did éhat represent any
change in U. S. foreign policy?
The Secretary laughed a quiet laugh and shook
his head wearily to let it be known that he saw
that one coming and knew it was loaded. But no,
the speech was not supposed to change U. S. policy
and he did not think it did.
Well, did the Secretary think that Mr. Rusk’s
words were well chosen? a reporter asked. He
ducked that one by saying that he wouldn’t think
of commenting on the literary style of a colleague.
RUSK SPEECH DEBATED :
They kicked the ball around on the Rusk speech
for a while without developing anything new, ex
cept that if a cease-fire were arranged, negotiations
for peace would have to be conducted between the
Peiping govrnment, the United Nations commander
in Korea and the UN Good Offices Committee,
Then, down in the front row of the State Depart
ment auditorium where the press conference was
being held, a shy reporver In a quiet voice asked if
the subject could be shifted to Iran?
When the back of the room asked that the ques
tion be repeated louder, Secretary Acheson spoke
up with, “He wants to know if asking a question
about Iran would be interpreted as being helpful to
me.” It was, So the rest of the conference skidded
along on Iranian oil.
The Secretary was wearing a red (Senator Mc-
Carthy please hote) necktie and there was a pink
(ditto) rose in his lapel. But his suit matched his
hair in a gonservative Republican gray.
Incidentally, Senator McCarthy on May 11 said
he had inside informration that Secretary Acheson
would be fired in three weeks. That would put
the deadline around June 1.
But a few days later Secretary Acheson said that
he had enlisted for the duration.
“he Secretarys next scheduled ordeal will be his
appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations and
Armed Services Committee. After the Joint Chiefs
of Staff get through—Generals Collins and Van
denberg and Admiral Sherman—Acheson is next.
OUT TO GET ACHESON
The Republican senators on these committees are,
of course, laying for him. Particularly Brewster,
Dridges, Cain, Hickenlooper, Knowland and Wiley,
What they want, of course, is Acheson’s head on
a platter., So do a lot of other people. They want
a personal devil who can be blamed for the Ko
rean war, the firing of General MacArthur, the de
feats of Chiang Kai-shek, high taxes, inflation and
Alger Hiss.
Not being able to get at President Truman, hav
ing failed to convict Defense Secretary George
Marshall or General Omar Bradley, they have se
lected Dean Acheson as the most convenient goat.
Six months ago this column reported that the
political hatchet men had started out to get Dean
Acheson and the odds were 99 to 1 that they would
succeed. That still goes, though it must be ad
mitted that it has taken longer to chop him down
than most of his critics had thought it would. And
e may still fool them, by sticking it out. -
But government officials like Dean Acheson are
considered expendable. Getting rid of him will
wsatisfy many people. Firing him will not, however,
change the problems that confront - this country
and the world. And it may not change the even
tual solutions of those problems—if there are any
solutions—as much as somre people now think.
It is noteworthy that the 43 freshmen Republi
can congressmen who have most recently demand
ad Acheson’s removal presented no program of
their own for & better foreign policy. They didn't
aven present any program at all. They just wanted
1o get rid of Acheson,
Scandals in our government are not & new phe
nomena in our history. What seems to be new
about scandals is the moral blindness which allows
those in responsible positions to accept the practices
which the facts reveal.—Sen. J. William Fulbright
4£D.-Ark.).
Peace Negotiations Ar Not
Necessarily ‘Appeasement’
Appeasement is a policy in thorough and de
served disrepute among all people who understand
the nature of totalitarianism. Communists, like
their Nazi and Fascist brethren, regard appease
ment as a gesture of weakness. Hence they are
never really appeased, but always press for more,
Yet in the desire to avoid any sort of appease=
ment, some people are tending to define that ap
proach too broadly. They hint, for example, that
in Korea anything short of utter destruction of the
Chinese Reds will amount to appeasement.
In general, those who feel this way are the same
ones who say “there’s no substitute for victory,” by
which they mean a crushing triumph that virtually
wipes out the enemy.
To such people, appeasement and “negotiation”
are apparently synonymous. In other words, mere
ly talking to the enemy about peace is seen as
yielding of ground.
This notion is pretty far afield from reality, as
a look at past wars and their peace-making after=
math will show, Peace is seldom achieved by the
enemy’s unconditional surrender, as in the Nazis’
case in World War 11. More often it is negotiated,
before the enemy is thoroughly annihilated.
- The Allies allowed Germany to negotiate peace
in World War I while German soldiers were still
on Frénch soil. Even in World War II we did not
insist on destroying Japan’s army by fire and shell.
The Japs’ main force was still largely intact when
they sued for peace. The soldiers still occupied
much of the Asiatic land they had conquered.
Theysurrendered because the A-bomb, devastating
incendiary raids, and the cutting of overseas supply
lines made ultimate defeat unmistakably clear.
Negotiating peace rather than enforcing it by
arms does not inevitably lead to appeasement.
Negotiations are a perfectly honorable and sensible
way of ending a war. If the other fellow has had
enough, what is wrong with letting him say so?
The important think is not to avoid dealing with
the enemy. It is winning peace terms which secure
for you the objectives for which you undertook
the war. When you fail to gain those goals, when
you let the enemy have something at the council
table which you have denied him on the battle
field, then negotiation does indeed move toward
appeasement,
But to suggest that we dare not negotiate with
an enemy for fear of appeasing him indicates a
total lack of confidence in ourselves as skilled
negotiators. And a total disregard for history and
its teachings.
The the Chinese Reds want peace in Korea on
our terms, there is no sound reason why we should
not negotiate. Those terms, naturally, cannot re
ward the Cormrmunists in the faintest degree for the
ageression they have undertaken.
As a matter of fact, talk of a negotiated peace
may in the end prove academic. Though they be
licked, or at least effectively stalemated, the Reds
may never want to concede defeat by suing for
peace. As General Bradley and other have hinted,
they may choose simply to let the war die out by
slow degrees, with no formal cease-fire and no
negotiations. That would be one way of minimiz
ing their failure both to themselves and to those
they are trying to win over the rest of the world.
Whether it be this or a formal peace bid, we do
not have to shy away from it in fear that we have
thus appeased the Commrunists.
Point 4 In Reverse Gear
This is entirely a gag, but a new movement for a
“Reverse Point Four” program has been dreamed
up in Washington for cocktail lounge conversation.
The real Point Four program has for its idea the
spreading of civilization’s benefits to underdevel
oped countries. Raise their standard of living, in
crease their productivity, get them more to eat
and better clothes to wear.
“The Reverse Point Four program is intended to
do just the opposite. It would bring some of the
blessings of the simple life from underdeveloped
countries to overdeveloped America.
Ban the atomic bomb. Do away with the air
plane as the principal bomb carrier and a publie
nuisance besides. Reduce the number of automo
biles so as to cut down on traffic accidents and
make walking a safe pleasure. Make trucks stay
off the highways particplarly on week-ends. Cut
the number of telephones by at least 50 per cent.
Require all fat people to eat less and let city
men wear less, but more comfortable clothing in
hot weather. Finally, make it a criminal offense
to chew bubble gum, listen to juke boxes or radio
commentators, or read newspaper columnists.
The movement should go far,
We must put an end to this tragic blowing hot
and cold in national defense. Our consistent, un
wavering policy must be to pace ourselves in rela
tion to Soviet military strength and the dangers
of war. —Bernard Baruch. :
We know now that arterial schlerosis is not the
inevitable toll of age. The Chinese , . . the In
dians doh's have it. —Dr. Henry A. Schroeder, of
St. Louis U.
We shall persist in our efforts to give Communist
China every chance to take her place , . . in the
United Nations. —Kenneth Younger, deputy to
Britain’s foreign minister.
If more public-spirited ladies were as well
coiffed as Senator (Margaret Chase) Smith, more
of them would get elected to Congress. —Raymond
Huet, director, American Hair Design Institute.

Congress Urged
To Pass Credit
Control Bill
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Na
tional Automobile Dealers Associ
ation appealed to Congress today
in its fight for “more realistic and
equitable automobile credit terms”
by urging the House Banking and
Currency Committee to report fa
vorably a “credit control floor”
amendment to the Defense Pro
duction Act. The amendment,
which was submitted by Alton M.
Costley of East Point, Ga., spokes
man for N. A, D. A, would require
the Federal Reserve Board to al
low a minimum of 18 months for
automobile purchase payments.
Present terms permit only 15
months,
Mr. Costley charged that the
present terms of Regulation W are
preventing wage earners from
buying dependable post-war auto
mobiles and that they discriminate
against the car buyer by forcing
him to bear the brunt of credit
controls,
Essential Item
“Regulation W fails to take into
full consideration that the auto
mobile is an essential commodity,”
Mr. Costley said. “Many factors
have brought about a situation in
which the average American wage
earner finds that he cannot carry
on defense or other work without
adequate and dependable trans
portation, which can only, be pro
vided by the automobile. Amer
icans have moved from crowded
cities to spacious suburbs; indus
tries have been decentralized.
Seventy-four per cent of all urban
transportation is by passenger cars
and 74 per cent of all trips by au
tomobile are for transportation to
and from work or for essential
shopping.”
As of January 1, 1951, Mr. Cost
ley said nearly 40 million passen
ger cars were registered, about
half of which were buiit prior to
World War II and already have
been driven an average of approx
imately 80,000 miles each. Since a
large percentage of these are driv=
en by wage earners and no mid
dle age cars are available due to
the 1942-46 production shutdown,
he said it is of the utmost impor

Bears Brunt
“Regulation W is discrimina
tory”, Mr. Costley declared, “The
automobile is singled out among
all other products sold on a credit
basis to bear the brunt of eredit
controls and the automobile pur=
chaser is denied the right to buy
essential transportation by the
same controls which cover items
far less costly and far less essen=
tial.
“It creates class buying. Work
ers are forced to give up the hope
of purchasing a new car or a late
model used car while their more
fortunate neighbors have purchas
ed new vehicles and traded-in au=-
tomobiles which are often less
than a year old.”
The N. A. D. A, spokesman also
pointed out that Regulation W
fails to take different price ranges
into consideration since it is ob
viously more difficult to meet
monthly payments on a SI2OO or
SISOO automobile than it is for a
less essetial commodity costing
S2OO to S3OO. Even so, present
terms of the credit control regula
tion provide a 15 months’ limita
tion on payments on both pur
chases.
Hopes For Best
“Regulation W threatens indivi
dual liberties because they are in=
volved when man’s ability to pur
chase needed transportation is tak
en from him”, Mr. Costley said.
“It is our hope that this congres
sional committee and this Con
gress will take every step possible
to guard individual liberties for
which our forefathers gave so
much.
“Present terms of Regulation W
are as drastic, as harsh to the
wage earner as those imposed in
World War II when no new cars
whatever were produce and when
there was a distinct shortage of

Written for NEA Service
Of all kinds of cancer, that
which develops on the skin or the
exposed mucous membrances is
the easiest to catch early and treat
promptly. Everyone knows that
cancer can generally be cured at
the beginning and therefore neg
lect of skin cancer is particularly
unfortunate. Yet it still happens
all too often.
There are several things to look
for. If you have a sore on the!
skin or perhaps around the lips or |
eyes which does not heal as quick~
ly as you think it ought to, don't
just forget about it” If your skin
has a lump or ulcer give yourself
a break and let the doctor look at
it. Some of these sores or lumps
will be cancer and they are easy
to get rid of while they are small
and may be so hard after they
have grown a while that there is
no sense in taking a chance.
Besides the cancers of the skin
there are some skin conditions
which may lead eventually to can
cer and there should be
watched even if not treated so
that they can be attacked at the
first sign of difficulty.
The most important of these are
the scaly, brown or black patches
which are quite common in elderly
people and are usually located on
the parts of the skin most exposed
to the sun and air. These patches
have the name of keratoses.
New, these patches are not can
cerous when they start. But they
so often develop in that direction
that it is sometimes—but no al
ways—a good idea to remove them,
there are two thing which al
ways seem wise, however. One is
to watch them because {if they
grow it may be a danger signal.
The other ig that J)ersons who
show a tendency to develop these
patches should try to protect their
sking as much as gossible from
exposure to sun. Indeed they are
more likely to develop in the first
place in people who spend a lot
of time in bright sunshine, like
sailors and farmers.
HEED WARNINGS
This should not be at all alarme
ing since a little common sense
about taking precautions can save
a lot of grief. The patches of
keratosis (when necessay) can be
