cast around the . globe. -
Republican ' members of Con
gress generally agree that if Ei
senhower delivers a forceful mes
sage on a well-rounded program
he can bring squabbling GOP fac
tions together and ' solidify some
wavering Democratic' support.
Some Republican leaders think
the- President has been getting too
much inexperienced and conflict
ing advice.
The result, they believe, has
shown the winners of the Novem
ber election . with somewhat less
unity and purpose than the Demo
crats who lost it.
Storing Up Ammimitioa
Democratic leaders at least have
agreed to lie low for while on
public criticism, at the same time
storing up ammunition for 1954
and 1956.
On , the eve of Eisenhower's ad
dress. House Speaker Martin -ol
Massachusetts commented:
"I think the message will be
completely satisfactory and pleas
ing to Congress. Right now I can't
see a single area of substantial
trouble." .
.Martin was among the congres
sional leaders who discussed the
message with the President in ad
vance. World to Study Talk
The nation and the world will
study the message for indications
of what win be done to end the
war in Korea and for answers to
a host of other foreign and domes
tic issues that hang critically over
the free world.
In Congress there are a number
of Southern and border state Dem
ocrats who want to give their ac
tive support to the President in the
fateful days ahead.
They haven't been reassured,
however, by the new administra
tion's troubles over the Defense
Department appointments, its mixed-signals
approach to govern
ment reorganization, its public con
flict over cutting taxes and the
lack of a unified decision about
how to end price and wage con
trols. Important Test
To these Democrats, whose votes
may be needed to put over the
administration's program in a
closely divided Congress, Eisen
hower faces an important test
Monday.
As one Democratic senator
friendly to Eisenhower put it:
"If Ike flunks this one with a
wishy-washy message demonstrat
ing no real leadership heU be in
a bad fix."
Some influential Republicans
agree with that view, contending
that while Eisenhower's inaugural
message might have been appeal

1 ffl . D.f A
Sen. Taft to Dee
As President
' WASHINGTON (Jl Sen. Morse
of Oregon said Sunday he believes
"the country today would be better
off , with Bob Taft as president
than - Eisenhower. ,
"Why?" he was asked on a dis
cussion panel televised . by the
CBS program "Man of the Week.
"Because I think Bob Taft would
stand for exactly what he believes
m the White House." Morse i
plied, "and he wouldn't be tied up
with the kind of compromise I be
ll ve Eisenhower's tied up with.'
Eisenhower beat out Sen. Robert
A. Taft of Ohio for the presiden
tial nomination in Chicago last
summer. At that time Morse said
if Taft were nominated he would
"take a walk" and would neither
lieve Eisenhower's tied up with.1
A few months later Morse
walked right out of the Republi
can Party, labeled himself an in
dependent and campaigned for Ad
lai Stevenson, the Democratic pres
idential nominee.
It was , during a discussion of his
bolt that Morse said be thought
the country would be better off
with Taft in the White House.
I stayed with Eisenhower as
long as I had any confidence in
his political morality," Morse said.
He added that he bolted when
he came to the conclusion that
Eisenhower "was running . mili
tary campaign, not a political
campaign, that he was willing to
accept support from any source he
could get it, that he was willing
to say whatever needed to be said
for votes."
To Fellow Platform
The Eisenhower administration
already has made clear that it's
going to follow the Republican
platform. Morse went on, and he
said the Republican platform
"makes McKinley look like a lib
eral."
Morse criticized Eisenhower for
backing the nomination of former
Sen. Richard M. Nixon of Cali
fornia as vice president. There
should have, been at least three
men nominated so a choice could
have been made on the convention
floor, he said.
He disclosed that he was sup
porting Sen. Sal tons tall (R-Mass)
for the vice presidential nomina
tion in Chicago and said that be
fore his group could even talk
with Saltonstall two emisaries
from Eisenhower came to him and
said they didn't want any one nom
inated except Nixon.
Still Opposed
Morse reaffirmed his opposition
to Charles E. -Wilson, former pres
ident of General Motors, as secre
tary of defense. He said he would
not have any objection to Wilson
in another cabinet post, perhaps as
secretary of commerce, but that
Wilson was not the man for the
Pentagon.
Profits being made by General
Motors, Morse said, are uncon
scionably high.
He stated that any step toward
taking the U. S. Seventh Fleet Off
the job of neutralizing . Formosa
and unleashing the military
strength of the Chinese National
ists on the island has "dangerous
potentialities.
"I want to do anything that's
necessary to protect the country
and win the peace," Morse said.
"But suppose we run into trouble
over Formosa. Are we prepared
to support the Nationalists with
our Navy and Air Force? Are we
going to protect Formosa if the
Chinese Communists attack it?"
The Oregon senator said For
mosa could become the spark set
ting off a third world war. He said
he was also concerned about the
possibility of losing some of our
allies because of a disagreement
about Formosan policy.

liorea Losts
Navy, Marines
1,033 Planes
By MTLO FARNETI
TOKYO UH The Navy and Ma
rine Corps lost 1.033 planes in the
first 30 months of the Korean War
while spewing more bombs, rock
ets and bullets than Navy air ex
pended in World War II. Far East
Naval headquarters reported Sun
day. A summary of combat op
erations claimed carrier-based Na
vy planes and mainly ground-based
Marine aircraft killed or wound
ed approximately 100,000 Commu
nist troops since the war began
June 25, 1950.
During the same period, the Far
East' Air Forces claimed 144,588
casualties inflicted on the Reds.
The Navy said 552 Navy planes
and 481 Marine planes were lost
through December, 1952 to the Red
air force, anti - aircraft suss and
in operational accidents.
This- was about 300 more than
losses announced by FEAF.
The latest Air Force summary,
issued Saturday, said Communist
planes, ground defenses and "oth
er causes" accounted for 700 UJS.
Air Force planes since the start
of the war.
The combined Air Force, Navy
and Marine losses . from all caus
es were 1,733 more than double the
792 Red planes claimed as posi
tively destroyed.
Other Red Planes
This did not take into account.
however, more than 9000 Red plan
probably destroyed or crippled in
air Da rues over Korea.
The figures showed Navy and
Marine planes flew 210,000 com
bat sorties (individual flights) com
pared with 588.713 sorties for the
Air Force through January.
That would make about 2 out of
every; 5 planes hitting the Reds
either a Navy or Marine aircraft.
According to the official figures.
the Navy and Marines are losing
about 5 to every 2 Air Force planes
knocked out.
la Accidents
The Navy summary listed 471
craft brought down by anti - air
craft fire and Red MIGs while 562
were lost in operational accidents.
The Air Force reported 101
planes downed in air battles, 491
destroyed by ground defenses and
108 to "other, causes."
Planes landing and taking off
from bucking carriers have more
accidents and navigation problems
than those operating from the
ground, raising Navy operational
losses.
Most Marine planes operate
from ground bases but are large
ly assigned to hazardous low lev
el strafing missions over enemy
lines,, exposed to Red flak batter
ies. The- Navy summary said Ma
rine and Navy planes have drop
ped 145,000 tons of bombs on the
Communists, more than twice the
70,000 tons of shells fired by bat
tle ships, ! cruisers, destroyers and
other vessels.
The air total exceeded the ton
nage expended by the Navy air
arm in World War II, the sum
mary said.

"moves across the screen with the
action."
Fox is thus the first major studio
to announce conversion to a sys
tem of big-screen realism in an
apparent effort to combat the home
competition of television.
Cinerama, currently being dem
onstrated publicly in New York
City, requires three cameras and
three projectors. The new Fox sys
tem, the studio says, requires only
one standard camera and project
or,- with special lenses to create
wide-angle scenes. 1
' The 20th Century-Fox announce
ment was Issued jointly by Spyros
F. Zanuck, - vice president in
Skouras, President, and Darryl
charge of production. :
- Rights to Cinemascope were ac
quired by Skouras from its invent,
or, Henri Chretien, honorary pro
fessor at the Sorbonne and "at
Paris Optical Institute, the an-:
nouncement said.
Fox's conversion to cinemascope1
ls expected to have an equally
revolutionary effect in changing
the installations in movie houses
throughout the world. ;

duction using cinemascope will be
the film version of Lloyd C Doug
las' book. The Robe Start of pro
duction has been set back to Feb.
