Midd!e Fast Defense Problem
. . . .
Still Needs Practical Solution
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
PARIS.—(NEA)—The question of command for
Middle East defense against Soviet aggression is
still regarded as “a can of worms” at General
Eisenhower's SHAPE headquarters here. It was
thought a solution might be possible till the Egypt
jan situation flared up. Now an early solution is
considered unlikely, even by the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization meeting in Rome.
Middle East degense problemr is considered so
big it can’t all be solved at once. Bites will have to
be taken on it one at a time. Iran is an exposed and
weak flank. There are no forces worthy of the
name between Iran and Israel. . . . Getting Arab
countries to collaborate with Israel on a defense
scheme is out of the question now.
While Turkey and Greece want to be counted in
Eisenhower command, there is much feeling here
that the whole Middle East is too far away from
SHAPE headquarters for control. Communications
are too difficult, for one thing, Yugoslav gap be
tween Greece and southern Germany is another
uncertain quality. Eventually, a separate Middle
East commnand, parallel to Eisenhower’'s European
command is considered necessary,
Sinmplest explanation of General Eisenhower's
NATO deiense plan is to consider Western Europe
as a peninsula which must be protected from invas
ion. European army under Eisenhower makes up
main land defensive force.
: Left flank is protected by the Allied forces in
_northern Europe, under Admiral Brind, with head
quarters at Oslo. The right flank is protected by
Allied forces in Southern Europe, under Admiral
Carney, with headquarters in Naples. )
RUSSIANS LEAVE SKELETONS
FOR YUGOSLAVS
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia—Biggest eyesore on the
landscape near this capital is the vast number of
uncompleted buildings. They are part of the 105
industrial projects which were started under Rus
sian direction at the end of the war as a five-year
plan. -
By 1948, when Tito broke with Moscow, Yugo
slavs had made great sacrifices te contribute theic
73 percent of the cost. Then construction stopped
suddenly for two main reasons. Peasants and
workers could no longer bear sacrifice. Russia
failed t 0 come through' with promised machinery
deliveries fronmr Hungarian, Czech and Polish rep
arations. '
Yugoslavia paid heavily in corn, timber and min
erals, but got only a few pieces of machinery from
eastern Germany. Crash came when Tito saw that
Russia wanted to exploit Yugoslavia, not develop it.
* - -
There's a story here about the man from Monte
_negro who saw the first shipment of American sup
plies come into Yugoslavia, as part of the famine
‘relief last year. Montenegrins are famous for their
{fighting ability, but they hate to work. So, com
nrented this Montenegrin:
“What gratitude the Americans have, 1o send us
such fine white flour, such warm underwear and
such strong shoes. It shows they appreciate what
good fighters we are. And what wisdom the Ameri
cans showed by sending plows, saws and axes to
the Serbs, the Croats, the Slovenes, the Bosnians
and the Macgdonians. With those fine tools they will
be able to work better.”
COLD WAVE WOULD HURTY
EUROPEAN REARMAMENT
- LONDON.—A bad cold wave this winter would
_seriously cripple Western Europe's rearmament
effort. Western Europe is now short 50-million tons
of eoal, Britain alone needs 20-million tons and has
only two weeks' reserve above ground. British
railroaders won't work wunder bad snow and ice
conditions and there is no equipment for handling
it. So coal distribution stops in bad weather.
There is further handicap in electric power short
age, since most of ritain’s power is generated by
coal steam. British Power shortage is estimated at
a million kilowatts a year. In many new housing
projects in Britain, “electric fires,” or heaters were
installed to save coal.
¥Rd e e \
Obsolescence is one of the most difficult factors
to cope with in planning Western European de
~ senses. Howitzers are cited here as a prime exam
ple. Canadian artillery recently abandoned the
British 25-pounder and shifted to American 105
and 155-mm. howitzers. That leaves a number of
surplus 25 pounders which might be used to arm
our new European units.
But the Dutch, the Belgians and others will take
only limited quantities of the Canadian guns. They
want the American models. Trying to get clearance
- for European manufacture of these guns required
licensing of some 1,200 patents which cover the
manufacture of these field pieces.
Rock Of Ages Is Steadfast
In World Of Worry And Woe
One of the most notable events in postwar Amer
ica has been the striking revival of interest in relig
jon. It has shown itself in. many ways, but mostly
in record attendance at church and a vast consump
tion of inspirational books.
Overwhelmingly, this has reflected the deeply ;
troubled outlook of a people beset by endless ten
sions, bewildered by seemingly unmanageable |
crises. It has been a quest for certainty amid a flood
tide of confusion and doubt. It has been a spontan
eous response, a fulfillment of need.
Yet through all this hopeful resurgence of spirit
ual force, the church itself has not stood idly by.
It has actively and constructively labored to encour
age the overt expression of religious feeling.
In many places it has erected new and more
spacious houses of worship. It has brought fresh
psychological insight to its complex task of nrinis
tering to the spiritual wants of human beings. It
has broadened the social sphere in which it oper
ates. thus offering the church as a great focal point
for a whole galaxy of interests.
And, periodically, it has campaigned with un
accustomed vigor and originality to augment still
further its multiplying flock of faithful church
goers. The church has done this not with any notion
of forcing religious ritual and pattern upon people
who do not wish it, but with the simple aim of
drawing within its fold all who would really like to
be there.
In short, the church has made itself a live, pow
erful influence in the present-day American com
munity.
The effort goes on. This November, as in former
years, the annual Religion in Amrerican Life cam
paign is under way. Its goal is to stimulate more
interest in church-going and church-supporting. It
is stressing once again the importance of religion
in personal and community life.
The year 1951 has not been a time of easy re
assurance for Americans. Their moral values have
been shaken by scandal in many quarters. The war
in Korea has dragged interminably without clear
course. The Communist enemy has continued his
tantalizing game of first making taut and then re
laxing the strands of Cold War tension. The nation’s
Allies have fretted over large and small differences
with America and each other.
It would be no wonder if more than ever Amer
icans are searching for a rock to land upon. To
many of these, the church and religion are answers
they have not tried. Not all wish to try. But some
will. :
Those who do should respond with friendly
warmth to the beckoning gestures of the church.
They can do so with the secure knowledge that the
church today is better able than at any time in re
cent decades to minister to their spiritual needs.
They can do so in confidence that through the
church, religion has gained a new effectiveness
more commensurate with its merited place in the
pztional life. |
Inner Vision
It is not uncomrmon on this continent for specta
tors at a sports event to tell the players how to play
‘the game, or the referee how to handle disputes,
but a classic example of . non-combatant heroics
comes in a news item from Louvain in Belgium. It
tells of onlookers directing the rescue of a drowning
child by a blind man.
“Karel Himmermans was walking along the river
when he heard the child shout for help.
“He jumped into the water, trying vainly to get
hold of the child he could not see. :
“Onlookers shouted instructions to Timmernrans
and he brought the child to shore.”
To marvel at the courage of the blind man is to
‘wonder at thé timidity of the onlookers. . . . Was
there nct a man or a woman, a boy or a girl,
among the spectators who could have gone to the
rescue? Perhaps we shall never know all the details,
but the blind man seems to have seen something
that others could not see, to have been gifted with
an inner vision that eyes alone can never perceive.

Needs Bigger Chest
General of the Armies Dwight D. Eisenhower
seldom wears more than three ribbons on his tunic
—the Distinguished Service Medal with three Oak
Leaf clusters, the Navy DSM and the Legion of
Merit. :
If he wore all his decorations, however, his whole
chest would be covered. He has been awarded and
won 50 military medals since his first service ribbon
for the Mexican border campaign of 1917. In addi
tion he holds 18 honorary degrees from as many
universities, eight medals from municipalities and
13 awards from American societies.
P’l‘he world is rearming everything except the
Venus de Milo.——Michael V. DiSalle, price admin
istrator.
We'll have to bomb Manchuria if a cease-fire is
not agreed upon.—Governor Thomas E. Dewey, of
New York.
We are determined to have them (new atonric
weapons) first, and in greater quantity than any
potential enemy. . . . There is no prize for the
runner-up.-—Robert A. Lovett, Defense Secretary.
Show me a man cutting his lawn on Sunday
morning and I'll show you an anti-Comnrunist.—

WESTERN FRONT, Korea, Nov.
27—(AP)—A lean Texan lay near
ly buried for three nights in a
bombarded bunker in Chinese ter
ritory while the 41-hour battle of
“Little Gibraltar” raged above
him.
Harold Whitmar, Amarillo, came
out of the dugout in good condi
tion when the Allies finished re
taking all peaks of the hill mass
Sunday.
Here’s a little bit of what Whit
mar survived:
Artillery pounding, a dirt and
stone shower, Chinese tramping
on his stomach, an attempted Red
bayoneting, snow, wet and freez
ing weather . . . and the terror of
sleepless nights, always expecting
the Chinese to find him.
During all this time, Whitmar
could move only one arm in the
dark and had only one stick of
gum to chew on “until there
wasn’t any flavor left and then
pretty soon there wasn’t any gum.”
The buried rifleman finally
knew he would be saved when the
voices above him “started speak
ing American instead of the Chi
nese I'd been hearing all the time.”
A medic and an automotic rifle
man dug him out.
~ Whitmar is small and weighs

Recalls Details
He recalled all details except
which night the dugout roof caved
in on him. But Whitmar said it
probably was after Thursday mid
night when the Chinese shelled
the hill.
Whitmar’s story:
Artillery had been pounding at
the hill for two hours. Three
shells fell nearby and brought the
dugout’s dirt and stone roof cav
ing in on Whitmar, pinning him
more than four feet underground.
About a half hour later someone
jumped into the bunker right on
to his stomach. Whitmar saw
American boots and started to call
for help but held off when he
spotted the quilted pants Chinese
soldiers wear.
The Chinese didn’t know he
stood on a live American. Whit
mar heard him open up with a
burp gun, probably at American
troops on the other side of the
hill, then move on. .
A few minutes later . . . just
before dawn Friday, another Chi
nese dropped into the bunker.

This one jabbed his bayonet into
Whitmar’s sleeping.bag and pon
cho which covered him.
Some Experience
~ “I could feel the bayonet slide
‘through the sleeping bag and into
my pile jacket. It was like a fin
ger poking me in the ribs. Seven
times I counted the Chinese push
ing the bayonet in.”
The point didn’t reach him.
Allied artillery and mortar
shells fell all the next day, Sat
urday.
“That morning I heard some
machinegun fire, then a shell
landec and some Chinese screamed
and that ended the machinegun.
That happened two more times
and every time a machinegun
opened up it was silenced by our
mortars. But the Chinese always
had replacements, so the gun
wasn’t quiet for long.
“I thought of surrendering, but
I couldn’t remember the Chinese
word for surrender.
“It snowed during the night, I
couldn’t look up to see if the stars
were out but I could feel it com
ing down on my face. It was wet
and cold and just dripped down
and down, I tried to sleep and I
guess maybe I did but it seemed
like I was awake most of m:::e.
T was . too' soared te:’ S/
guess.”
The firing kept up during the
Sunday morning darkness.
“The hill changed hands and 1
heard hollering. I knew it was
my side because this wasn't any
Chinese hollering. I hollered and
a medic and a BAR (Browning
Automatic Rifle), man came over.
The BAR used his bayonet to dig
the dirt away and the medie
cleared the dirt around my face.
1 saw the pine irees and the sky
.« . It looked like something I
thought I'd never see again.”

WASHIUGTON, Nov 28 — (AP)
—Broadcasting stations have no
right to censor the content of polit
ical speeches even if they use state
and local libel laws as an excuse,
the Federal Communications Com=
mission (FCC) said Monday.
In a restatement of policy,
somewhat stronger than one made
three years ago, FCC said in its
view no liability for libel rests
against a station as a result of
providing a microphone for a leg
ally qualified candidate for pub=
lic office to reach the voters.
