What next in Asia? What should American policy for the Far East include? Time magazine in its current issue answers these high-timely questions with a list of "the most plausible sug gestions heard last week." Significantly, the re porter doesn't reveal the sources of this propos-. td policy, and so we presume it is Time's own. Here it is: ' 1. Send really strong military mission i and possibly UJ3. troops to Asian danger spots. Purpose: to help local governments lick com munist rebellion, to train, supply and lead local . " armies. -r , , v- 2. Form an Asian high command for these forces, headed by General Douglas MacArthur, and including Asians from each country lnvolv- . ed. : " - .:. - v : -: 1. Prepare a peace with Japan, enabling that country to resume trade with Southeast Asia, and to maintain an army. 4. Recruit from the vast reservoir of 'Amer ican brains and guts a force of men willing to serve their country abroad, under rigorous con- . filtiona, put them through tough, practical train- - . ing, and send them as political and economia : advisers not only to governments but to in- i dividual communities In Asia. Put at their dis posal an EGA-hk fund for practical, short-to-medium range, aid and construction." Time then warns that "a lot of careful people, including Dean Acheson. would object to such measures because, among other reasons, they might 'provoke' communist China." This page can be counted among. the "care- , Cul" ones who would Object to such measures because, not only would they most certainly pro voke communist "China, they would provoke all Asiatics, communist and non-communist alike. Time's Asia policy is a perfect example of what India's Prime Minister . Tiehru meant When he protested recently that the Western powers "continue to make decisions affecting vast -areas of Asia without understanding the real needs and mind of the people." . Time's Asia policy is a plan that uncomfort - ably resembles the kind of aggression by infil tration mat we iree nations oi me woria are fighting against. U calls, in effect, for an Amer ican "international" complete withTJ5. military advisers" in every national army and U. S. political - economic "advisers' in every native government and village. These Yankee commis sars would see to it using American money for persuasian that things in Asia went our way. The communists call that "dollar imperialism,' in this case an accurate epithet. - . ; , ; In addition, Time would have MacArthur head a military high command for all Asia. The American general, we suppose, would plan and direct strategy for our aide just as Russia's Mo lotov is reported to be directing strategy for the communists in Asia. joacAnnur presumaDiy would be given power to deploy American troops and war material wherever deemed needed, just' as Moscow's chiefs are said to be able to deploy Russian and satellite forces to further the Krem lin's foreign policy. , - Perhaps these methods would "work." That is, - the proposed plan might possibly hinder the , spread of communism in Asia, and therefore be considered expedient. ( But it could not bring victory for the cause of freedom and self - determination in Asia which is the American cause and the only moral reason we are today at war in Korea. Asia does not want to be run by America any more than it wanted to be colonized by Britain or France or made into satellites by Russia.

Acheson, Not Johnson, to Be Campaign Target Of Senate GOP Leaders in Approaching Election By Stewart Alsep WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 Some days ago, the republican congressional leaders reached an important decision. At a closed door meeting attended by such satraps as policy chief Senator Robert Tart and T - A ' v u a t , uwi leader Kenneth Wherry, It was decided to base republican stra t e g y in the forthcoming e o n g ressional campaign squarely on an all - out attack n Secretary of 5? tat a n at a -n Acheson.: i .. thJ At the same meeting, report edly in response to the pas sionate pleading of Senator Owen Brewster, it was decided to "lay off Brewster's friend. Secretary of Defense Louis .Johnson. This appears to be a rather odd de cision, and it calls lor an ex planation. Its oddnets derives from the fact that, it the public record means anything at all, in the moaths before Korea Acheson L was consistently dead right and Johnson was consistently dead wrong. It was Acheson, after alL who repeatedly and rather des perately warned the country of the danger of our situation, and it was Johnson who emaUy con sistently boasted cf non-existent American stxeiigth. - - .-.-.- It was Acheson who called for "unity and sacrifice," to "mobil ize our total resources" in order to create "situations of strength," which would permit a peaceful settlement with the Soviet Union. ; It was Acheson who warned that without such an effort, we can , lose this struggle without a shot being fired." It was Acheson who Ajld the senate, early in June, .that "the only honest answer" he could. g?Y. was that the cost Chairman Ben Chandler responded by exyrtss , ing the concern of the commission over conges tion on this highway as well as for the other deficiencies of the state highway system. He gave assurance that the problem would be stud ied and indicated that the real question was where to get money for the work. The commission-however will surely have , to act shortly because of the growing urgency of this improvement. The increasing burden on this inter - regional highway will force action. The ' work may be done easily by stages, as The Statesman has previously pointed out. A few "patches" of four-lane highway could be laid, initially and then the gaps closed as funds are available. The appeal has been made. The commission will look over its revenues and its previous com mitments. It seems reasonable to anticipate that before many months pass a start will be made on. widening 99E or providing other relief for this route. Another suspect in the Klaus Fuchs spy ring has been arrested.' He makes eight who are charged with : violating the laws in carrying secrets to a foreign power. For all the talk about Reds in the state department here we find they were boring into the most closely guarded en terprise the government conducted during the war: the Manhattan project for developing the atom bomb. In spite of screening and vigilance by FBI and the army itself the secrets got out. Thank goodness Secretary of Defense Johnson didn't scuttle the whole U.S. navy when he was about getting rid of that "anachronism." Thus far in the Korean war, what's left of the UJS. navy has carried 40,000 men, 500,000 tons of military cargo and 2,000,000 barrels of petrole um through the long sea lanes from stateside to the war theater. This feat has been possible be cause the Pacific has been our puddle, withjao enemy subs or planes menacing our ships . . yet. - . ' Congressman Harris Ellsworth, 'apparently stung to action by complaints of his constituents on lack of freight cars, has introduced' a bill to have the government build cars and hold them in a pool for assignment to any railroad when it; needs mora cars. This"looks like "creeping socialism" to which Ellsworth is strongly oppos-, ed, but it illustrates the tendency of the times: when a pinch comes, load the job on Uncle Sam, Wool growers are in clover. Production this year will provide only about 30 per cent of the country's needs in wool, the remainder will come from imports. There are signs though that the tide is turning. High wool prices are an in centive to many to raise sheep. The old law of demand and supply will have its effect in time. Token strikes on two short lines and three railroad terminal companies are real even if they are set for short duration. The railroad brotherhood called them to underscore its de mand for a shorter work week at no cut in pay. The country can survive this spasm, but wants to be spared a general and non-stop strike on its railroads. Don't be deceived by an August rain. The winter isn't on us yet There will be more days of sunshine this fall; and maybe more days heavy with fire hazard for forests. But the rain has given a welcome relief from the for us lengthy hot spelL If congress has its way, the postman will al ways ring twice. of re-arming our allies would have to be increased. It was Johnson, appearing be fore the same senate committee, who remarked coyly that he had been "living a little more close ly" with the military situation than Acheson, and promised the senators that his best guess was that the cost could be reduced in future about as bad a guess as any public figure in recent his tory has made. It was Johnson who falsely promised the coun try that we were "obtaining . greater combat capabilities at : less expense." . - Now all Acheson's warnings have been tragically vindicated. Now all the falseness and empti ness of Johnson's - boasts have ; been tragically revealed. Yet it is Acheson, not Johnson, who is to be the republican target. Why? For one thing, of course, like any secretary of state, Acheson has made mistakes. It is true that by the , time Acheson be came secretary of state, nothing . short of the intervention of American troops could have saved the Nationalist regime In China. Yet it is certainly also true that by authorizing the re lease of the white paper on China. Acheson accelerated the Nationalist collapse, which cost the west invaluable time in Asia. This war his worst mistake, but Acheson has made others although the famous National Security Council paper writing Korea off as indefensible crii nated in the defense department rather than the state department. But the fact is that the republi can strategy has very little to do with - Acheson's policies. It springs from other sources. One of these, ef course, is what has been interpreted as Acheson's defense of Alger Hiss and however, laudable Ache son's motives may have been, this certainly left him wide open to attack. Another source is Ache son's personality. It is not only that Acheson's obviously super- tor intelligence enrages the prim itives of the stripe of Senator Wherry. It is also true that Acheson's rather frigid manner has Irritated many people in the ; congress and the country. What Is more important, Acheson, un like Johnson with his American' Legion background, has no pro- . tecttve. political base. - .... Moreover, Acheson does not : enjoy one major' Johnson asset a total absence of principle. Acheson has given strict orders to all his subordinates not to . criticize Johnson in any way. At the same time, it is no secret that Johnson has deliberately embarked on a campaign of dis tortion designed to undermine Acheson's position. While he has ' been commiserating with all and sundry about Acheson's "timid ity," Johnson has also shrewdly reversed his position. He now talks to congressmen about a t9 . billion defense budget next year, and more than hints that a gen eral war is probably inevitable. - Thus Johnson hopes to cover up the tragic failure of his "econ omy" program. Johnson also has close connec tions in the sort of business cir cles which deeply influence (to put it mildly) men like Brewster and Wherry. Moreover, men of Wherry's stripe are themselves wholly vulnerable. Wherry, for -example, as recently document . ed in this space, has consistently Joined Vito Uarcantonio in vot ing the straight commurist line on foreign and strategic issues,, which perhaps explains why he places blame for the bloodshed in Korea "on the shoulders of Dean Acheson" rather than on the shoulders of Josef Stalin. Thus for a combination of me lives, most of which are exceedix-!y sordid, we must now expect the deliberate destruction of national unity on Am erica an foreign pol icy, in a time of appalling dan er. 1 (Cooyriitht. 195ft, Frbhibitiori In Sweden Frohibitivo I r -.-..,.

The same dis covery In Sweden would get less attention by newspapers than the outcome of a race between two kayaks, and the discoverer would -have to go around begging his smargasbord from door to door. You see, there is no such thing as a hangover In Sweden. An vils never beat in Swedish heads. Butterflies never perform their amaring antics in Swedish stom achs. The expression "morning after" here means only Thursday morning if the day before were Wednesday or Friday morning if the day before were Thursday. There are no hangovers be cause Sweden has prohibition without ; calling . it prohibition. Don't be misled by the word . "prohibition" because of our ex- perience with it . There are no bootleggers here. Sweden's laws ; have teeth like barracudas, and no one wants to be bitten by them. -V A man is allowed the American equivalent of one and one-half jiggers -of spirits between noon and three o'clock, and it must be accompanied by at least i two kroner worth of food. From three p.m. until midnight he can have, if accompanied by food, three , Jiggers of the strong stuff. In , other words, he can have four 1 and one-half jiggers during a twelve-hour period. . Women Sweden still consid ering them the weaker sex can have just a shade more than one- . half of that amount. s -. To see to it that there is no cheating, all - the places which serve liquor abound with govern ment spies posing as guests. In talking to the owner of what is far and away the best restaurant in Stockholm I learned that the restaurant owners have to pay half of the salaries of the govern ment agents, plus half of what they eat while spying. This same man told me why there was no drinking at the bar. The spies couldnt keep track of what was " served across a bar, whereas they are capable of keeping an accur ate count of what is served on a tray to the diner. Let a waiter serve an eye-dropper too much, and off he goes to 1 Jail. Let an owner have a couple of waiters go to Jail and he is minus a license to operate. ! Sweden is. j merciless with drunken drivers. No one ques tions that stand.. But one is forced to question what Sweden considers a drunken driver, with a month in Jail and the revoking of the driver's license for a year as the penalties. In Sweden a man would be a fool to drive a car after having so much as one cocktail or one . highball even hours after he has had the one drink. The slightest odor of whiskey on a man's breath Is tantamount to a jail sentence. i Two stories Swedish friends told me will substantiate. A man gave a party at his house. He had been saving his ration of schnapps for months. He had a few more than the law allows in public, but was in bed shortly after midnight and slep until ten, had breakfast, read the papers, showered, dressed,9 and went down to his car to pick up a friend for a round of golf. - Get ting in the car, he accidentally touched the light switch. ! The lights went on for a second (In broad daylight, mind you) be fore he switched them off. A po liceman happened to see the flash of the lights. , . i He went to Jail for a month. No sober person, the court ruled -on the cop's testimony, would turn his lights on during the day.

HOPING TSaMaaaaaaaaataaaeaftSSaaaafaaaM Your Health In former years, typhoid fev er was a scourge which annually claimed thousands of lives. The disease was common and often reached epidemic proportions, es pecially in warm seasons and cli mates, due to the eatng of food or the drinking of water contam- , mated with the typhoid germs. . This killer has now been brought under ontrol, largely by the ef fort of public health authorities and their Insistence on better sanitation. Nevertheless, cases of typhoid still occur today whenever pre cautions are relaxed. The con dition is one of the most severe with which doctors have to deal. It is an illness which lasts for weeks, and even those patients who recover are weak for many , months afterwards. Recently, however, we seemed -to have gained a potent weapon against it in the new antibiotic . known as Chloromycetin. Nothing else has ever proved effective against typhoid fever, but reports on the use of this new drug show that the temperature subsides within a week. Typhoid germs , are banished from the blood stream and intestine at the same time. .This is a startling contrast ulcers. The doctors said no al cohol, not even the Swedish ra tion. He and his wife and a party of friends left a dinner party, laughing and joking. He was stopped two blocks from the restaurant , The cop said some one in the restaurant had called the police station and said a party of people were leaving in a car with such and such a . license number, and that they were drunk laughing too much for sober people. - The man and his party had to prove to the police that they hadn't had a drink among them and that the driver had been on the wagon for a year. - That's carrying things too far to my mind. Give people the right to hurt other people inno cent or not and they will. It provides a sense of power and power, the desire for it, is maln- ly what alls the world today. .

Bsmdeaaea to the ordinary six-week course of the disease and forms a splen did example of the value of our new antibiotics in the treatment of a most serious illness. It is es pecially gratifying that there seem to be no untoward effects from the use of Chloromycetin. - It has also proved to be effec tive in a much milder, but allied type of infection paratyphoid fever. The germs belonging to the typhoid-paratyphoid group . are all classified as salmonella, germs which, in still other forms, art r-nonsih1 for manv cases of ' so-called food poisoning. Though violent, these illnesses are brief,' and are usually accompanied by severe attacks of vomiting and diarrhea. Here, too, Chloromyce tin seems to be a sovereign rem edy.

Borers TWO ADOLESCENTS: THX t STORIES OX, 1 AGOSTINO AND LUCA, by Alberto Mor - avia (Tarrar, Straus; $2.75). The two short novels publish ed together in this book concern two boys and their - troubles, troubles so very different in fact that love performs opposite serv ices for them. Agostlno, 13. is devoted to his mother, a widow whose recip rocal devotion is distracted by " the appearance of a suitor. Two's a company,-three's a crowd, Ag ostlno learn bitterly. Since his mother is able so easily to divert her attentions from ftim, he ac cepts all the more readily the society of some tough youngsters who live on the beach where ' they are vacationing, and . he learns in the frankest terms, with illustrations, about the sort of love which has been substi tuted by the suitor for his, the boy's, own innocent affection. Luca, who is two years older, suffering from a , precocious world-weariness, sets out delib erately on a path of deprivation and disillusionment. He will dis- . sodate himself, he determines, from everything that had inter ested him before; instead of par ticipating, he will become neut ral; he will let his lessons go, cut himself off from friends, games and possessions, and sink into an anonymity and impersonality and a sort of disembodied status which, as he discovers only later, amounts in effect to death. A buxom serving maid comes along to change his mind for him. Agostino loses something which life will never replace, yet he is too young to find in phys ical love any substitute. Lucas almost loses life itself and is drawn back to it by the same force which Is lacking in Agos tino's immediate experience. If there's a moral, it is that love can be a redemptionary power, and that it cannot be. The un derlying psychological .portrait of the older boy is not wholly clear to me, but each story is told with effective directness and simplicity, and each is disting uished by some of those mom ents of vivid, gripping reality which we expect from Moravia. The fine translations are by Beryl de Zoete and Angus Dav idson ' year in jail and a $10,000 fine. Final action on this legislation should be had within a few days.
