Wiley 'Pulls A Vandenberg’
By Su‘éporting Foreign Policy
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —Biggest news on the
U. S. foreign policy front is that Republican Sena
tor Alexsnder Wiley of Wisconsin is about te pull
& Vandenberg.
The Wisconsin senator, in a short speech pre
pared for delivery on the floor of the Senate, de
clares that the U. 8. bi-partisan foreign policy has
been fundamentally sound and worthy of Republi
can suppert.
In so seying, Senator Wilcy is stepping into the
shoes of the late Senator Arthur Vandenberg of
Michigan, ¥#he Republiean foreign policy leader
whose recently published memoirs have revealed
how he ehanged from an extreme isolationist to a
believer in international co-operation.
The importance of Senator Wiley’s declaration is
that if the Republicans win the presidential election
and majority control of the Senate this November,
he will become chairman of the powerful Senate
Foreign Relations Commrittee, He is now the rank=-
ing Republican member of that committee.
Senator Wiley’s new statement on the need for a
bi-partisan foreign policy will be made to back up
and stand by his own speech on “A Dynamic For
eion Policy for a Dynamic Age,” made before the
American Society of Newspaper Editors in Wash
ington last week. .
SPIZECH BROUGHT QUICK ACTION
“he speech was received more or less apatheti
cally by the editors, At one point in the speech,
Senator Wiley declared, “I, for one, have always
held to the pelief that the Republican Party should
be as wilting and eager to praise constructive
achieverments &s it should be to point out short
comings.”
When his audience received this in stony silence,
Senator Wiley departed from his text and asked,
“What's the matter with you Democrats out there?
Why don’t you applaud that?” All he got was a mild
Jau-h. .
" hough the Wiley speech was received with some
douots, disbelief and lack of enthusiasm by his im=-
mediate audience in Washington, it met with vio
lent reactions in the middle west and on Capitol
Hi
%he Milwaukee Journal and the Madison, Wis.,
Capital-Times praised Senator Wiley in glowing
editorials for speaking with the voice of a states
man, Up te this time these papers had been only
luke-warm to Wiley. There had been general doubt
expressed as to the senator’s ability to carry off the
as-ignment as Foreign Relations chairman,
The Chicago Tribune, on the other hand, criti
cized the Wiley speech to the editors as a “me-too”
declaration, It accused Senator Wiley of playing
footsie with Secretary Acheson.
‘1 the words of Senator Harry P. Cain of Wash~
ingion, the Tribune editorial implied, “that the
State Depariment in general and the Secretary of
State in particular set out to seduce my colleague,
the senior senator from Wisconsin . . . and that the
" seduction was successful.”
THIY SHOULD HAVE READ THE RECORD
Senator Cain’s remarks were made in the course
ol nearly san hour’s debate on the Senite floor, sev=
eral days after Senator Wiley spoke to the editors.
Senator Wiley himself was not there, being in For
eien Relations Commrittee meeting on the foreign
aid bill. Senator Cain had, however, informed Sena
tor Wiley in advance that he was going to defend
his reputation.
With Senators Karl E. Mundt of South Dakota,
Bourke B. Hickenlooper of lowa, and Styles Bridges
of New Hampshire, Senator Cain tried to make a
case that Senator Wiley had been misquoted by the
press. Then they cited earlier speeches by Senator
Wiley to show that he had in the past been a con
sistent and violent critic of U, S. foreign policy un
der Democratic control.
All this rhubarb and hassel might easily have
been avoided if the Republican Senators had read
their Congressional Record. On Monday, April 21,
pages A 2604-5-and-6, the full text of Senator
Wiley’'s speech to the editors had been published.
Senator Wiley had obviously thought it was a
good speech for he himself had asked that it be in
serted in the Record, instead of having one of his
colleagues ask with glowing tribute that the text be
reprinteqd.
Senator Wiley had begun his speech with, “It is
a genuine privilege to address you men and wo
men of the Fourth Estate and to appear on the same
platform with the able and distinguished Secretary
of State.”
Any tribute from a Republican to Secretary
Avheson should have been ample warning of what
was to follow. To Senators Cain, Hickenlooper,
Mundt and Bridges, who have followed the McCar
thy line pretty consistently, it must have been gall
and wormwood.
Senator Wiley went on to praise the achievements
of U. S, foreign policy — arms aid, the Marshall
Plan, NATO, Point Four, the UN policy in Asia and
accomplishments in Korea.,
Senator Wiley now says there is nothing in his
speech he wants to change. He says his only regret
is that his well-meaning friends hadn’t read it.

UN Symbolizes The Peace
NATO And Others Implement
The United Nations acted with swift dispatch to
combat the North Korean aggression which started
in June, 1950. But everyone recognized it was the
accident of Russia’'s absence fromx UN councils at
that time which made the stirring response possible.
No one had the slightest thought, once Russia
had returned, that a similar courageous action
could be -taken against a later aggressor. In conse
quence, under American leadership, the free coun
tries within UN approved a new procedure designed
to permit the General Assembly to act if the cru
cial Security Council should be blocked by a Soviet
veto.
Theoretically, that new plan is a reliance of all
the free nations. But practically they are not de
pending upon it. Here we come upon one of the
most striking facts of present dax international life:
the burden of maintaining the peace has shifted
from the UN to NATO and other regional organiza=-
tions created to defend free lands against com=
munism.
NATO is naturally the most important of all
these, since it is responsible for the safety of the
most highly develgped area of the world outside the
United States. If you were to ask any key represen=
tative of each of the 14 member nations where his
country’s security lies, he would say with NATO,
net with the UN.
To the Australian, the New Zealander, the
Filipino and the Japanese, the matter looks much
the same, Each of these puts his stock in the mutual
security agreements they have among -themselves
and with the United States,
From the viewpoint of the UN, these develop
ments must be acknowledged as unfortunate. For
they plainly weaken the UN as &an international
force. But it would be unfair to assign the blanre
for this to the free nations who have shifted their
dependence to the regional organizations.
The responsibility for the UN’s decline is Rus
sia’s. Not for a moment was it conceived that the |
UN would work if one or more members bent all l
effort to thwarting its essential purposes. Yet that
is what Russia has done.
There are some advocates of international organ
ization who believe the important thing is to have
all nations of whatever viewpoint sitting around the
table, even if they accomplish absolutely nothing.
The more realistic observers of international life
argue in contrast that the vital factor is to have an
organization which can work effectively toward
the goals of world cooperation and peace, The UN
was that sort of agenéy in tne brief span of 1950
when Russia was absent. The rest of the time it has
not been.
The reliance now placed upon NATO and the
Pacific defense groupings is blunt recognition of the
good sense that marks this second viewpoint. So
long as the UN itself is immobilized by Russia as a
real peace agency, the peace-loving nations of the
earth will look understandingly to other bulwarks
of freedom and order.
The UN must stand as the symbol of a universal
world collaboration that some day may be realized.
But let no one complain that it is being by-passed
so long as Russia remains adamantly committed to
nullifying its fundamental aims. |
‘Short’ Course In Quick
, .
Correction
In some states and cities, the department of cor
rection is an agency concerned with adnrinistering
penal institutions and the like.
In the United States government, it is a special
arm of the executive branch, with headquarters in
the White House. Its purpose is setting the record
straight after President Truman has held one of his
regular press conferences,
Its services were called upon most recently to
erplain that an ultimatum which Mr. Truman said
he had sent to Joseph Stalin had not in fact ever
been issued.
Joseph Short, the President’s secretary in charge
of the press relations of the White House, deserves
the admiration of us all. As head of the department
of correction in Washington, he is called upon to
act with speed and often amazing ingenuity in the
performance of his arduous duties.
"
Two-Way Complaint
Some members of Congress like to play cute
games with figures. Senator Bridges of New Hamp
shire, for example, gave the Senate his compilation
of federal tax collections. This showed that from
the time the first president was sworn in until Mr.
Truman became president April 12, 1945, the fed
eral taxes collected totaled $244,200,000,000; and
t&at since Mr. Truman took office the total tax
collection has been $310,463,000,000.
Oregon’s Representative Harris Ellsworth quotes
Senator Bridges and adds: “In other words, this one
president has collected more taxes in seven years
than did all of the other presidents in their 150
years.”
This serves to irritate the taxpayer, who is al
ready plenty mad, but we don’t see how it nrakes
President Truman out a worse culprit than those
who criticize him. To our knpwledge, no federal
taxes have been collected which have not been
voted by Congress.—(Portland) Oregonian.
If anyone believes the Conmrmunist party is in the
same category as the Democratic party or Republi
can party he ought to be told this: “We are not
fighting Democrats or Republicans in Korea.”—
Howard Hughes, motion picture producer.

Weekly Bible Lesson
Godliness In Daily Life
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
When we speak of a man as
being “a godly man,” what do
we mean?
We are sure that he is essen
tially a reverent man, with a true
sense of holiness. We know that
he would not take the name of
God in vain, as so many today do,
in careless, casual conversation, or
in deep, intended oaths,
He is probably a good church
man, who goes to church regu
larly, who manifests good moral
living, and who is outwardly cor
rect in ritual observances, and in
the conventional requirements of
the religion he professes.
But is that all there is to godli
ness? We know from very high
authority that it is not.-
We have the story of the rich
young man, who came to Jesus,
inquiring how he might inherit
eternal life (Mark 10:17-22). He
was probably more correct in his
way of life than even most men
of conventional goodness. Yet he
lacked the one most essential
thing.
“Where your treasure is,” said
Jesus, ‘“there will your heart be
also” (Matthew 6:21). And where
your heart is, there is your real
religion, no matter how much you
profess that it is elsewhere.
The young man’s supreme at
tachment was to his great posses
sions, which in his ultimate deci
sion he chose rather than compan=
ionship with Jesus, and the possi
bility of becoming the twelfth
Apostle, when Judas Iscariot
failed. :
The average man is not likely
to be faced with any such crucial
decision but the story emphasizes
the first deep essential of godli
ness, which is the acceptance of
God as the treasure of the heart.
But neither is this all there is to
godliness. Choice and the treasure

of the heart are the roots of true
religion, the beginning of godli
ness; but godliness consists in
what comes after,
When one reads with insight the
account of the early Christian
Church, in the New testament, and
especially in the Epistles, an ap
parent and surprising discovery is
that so many accepted God and
the Christian way, without any
clear apprehension of all that it
meant,
For those of that early Chris
tian time, and for loveless, profess
ing Christians of today, the Be
loved Apostle leaves no doubt
about godliness in daily life.
His plain ,strong words are: “If

President for 40 Years
Dr. Kerr resigned as chairman
of the board of directors, but for
40 years was president and now
is honorary president and staff
surgeon at the 170-bed insitution.
A far younger man is hard put
to keep up with the energetic
doctor. Other surgeons regard
him with admiration.
Typical of his outlook on life
was his answer when a newsman
asked for an interview: “All
right,” Dr. Kerr said, “but mind
you, I'm not ready to have my
obituary written.”
Politically Active
A native of nearby Beaver
County, Dr. Kerr’'s life story is
intertwined with the history of
Pittsburgh. During his medical
career, Dr. Kerr kept an active
interest in politics,
He is a former city controller
and councilman and ran for com
missioner of Allegheny County
(Pittsburgh) and for mayor. His
political observations are just as
sharp as his scalpels.
On the score of national poli
tics. Dr. Kerr is a firm MacArthur
man. Observes the doctor:
“After all, he's just a young
fellow. He proved himself a good
administrator in Japan.”

WASHINGTON /— King Tut’s
tomb isn’t much emptier than the
Pentagon on Sunday.
It is a day of rest for most of
the 32,000 men and women who
work in the world’s largest office
building—th “brain” of America’s
armed forces.
At 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon,
you may see four persons sitting
on benches beside the three tun
nels where vehicles enter the
Pentagon. They’re waiting for
buses, and none are in sight.
Weekday Rush
At the same hour on a weekday,
hundreds form double lines to fill
a dozen buses. Hundreds more
pour down the ramps to wait for
the next row of buses,
Sunday may find 200 automo
biles huddled in corners of the
three big parking lots. On week
days, their pavement is hidden by
8,200 cars.
A Sunday sunset may light the
path to two dozen young women
in Air Force blue and half 4
dozen men in uniform, hiking.
toward the five-sided building.
They’d be lost among the cars
departing, bumper to bumper, on
other afternoons.
Some Pentagon offices are
manned around the clock, but
workers who draw Sunday duty |
hear little but the echo of their
own tootsteps in the long
corridors.
Employment at Record High
The 32,000 persons who work
there now are an all-time record.
About 70 per eent are civilians.
Nearly all are on an eight-hour
daytime shift. The shifts end
variously at 4:30, 5 and 5:15
