PA G E TW O T H U R S D A Y , J A N . 24, 1952 S O U T H E R N O R E G O N N E W S R E V IE W SPCRTSCCPE SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS of M ain Street and the W orld KOREA _ Tbe Korean peace talks settled down to a series of name calling, bitterness, and increasing suspicion. Although some progress has been m ade tow ard peace d u rin g the long months o f talking, it is be com ing m ore evident th a t a fin a l and lasting peace can not be secured in such an atmosphere. The Russians, m eanwhile, indicated they wanted a greater voice in the talks to settle a w a r they don’ t even recognize, by asking fo r a m eet ing of the U nited Nations se cu rity council to consider the a rm istice ne gotiations. The proposal was rejected at once by the U nited States, G reat B rita in and F rance. A m e ric a n o ffic ia ls said such a session—where Russia has a veto—would worsen the prospect o f peace in Korea by b rin g in g p o litic a l issues into the negotiations. ECONOMY _ Charles E. Wilson, d ire c to r of defense m obilization, has predicted a severe pinch in c iv ilia n goods fo r the firs t three months o f this year. The pre d ictio n was made in W ilson's annual re p o rt of re- arm am ent under the national emergency program . He predicted: (1) M a te ria ls fo r consumer goods in general in the fir s t three months of 1952 are sharply reduced fro m the levels of the fir s t q u a rte r of 1951. On the basis o f present calculations the second q u a rte r allotm ents w ill be even tig h te r; (2) Requirem ents of the m ili ta ry and atom ic-energy program s fo r m ost m a te ria ls w ill e ith e r continue a t the same levels throughout 1952 o r rise s lig h tly ; (3) A fte r m ilita r y and atom ic energy needs are m et in such strategic m a te ria ls as steel, alum inum , and copper, the m a te ria l rem aining w ill be divided between in d u s tria l expansion, consumer goods, public services, lim ite d export requirem ents, and stockpiling. As fo r the past year, W ilson term ed i t one of great progress, b u t said m ore could have been accomplished. CHURCHILL_ Winston C h u rch ill, who w ill go down in histo ry as one of the gre a t men of our tim es, a rriv e d in the U nited States fo r a series of huddles w ith P resident T rum an and top m ilita r y brass. M r. C h u rc h ill’s agenda was alm ost as m a gnificent as his personal appear ance. I t included e ve ryth in g fro m economic aid to plans fo r jo in t de fense of the west. The key to the talks was q u ic k ly re vealed when P resident T ru m a n met the 77-year-old P rim e M in is te r at a Washington a irp o rt. Said the P resi dent: “ I can’t te ll you when I have had m ore pleasure than I have this m orning in w elcom ing you as a v is i to r to the U nited States of A m e ric a .” Replied M r. C h u rch ill, w ith the force and c la rity of the Roosevelt days: “ We have only to go along together, each doing lo y a lly his best to under stand the o th e r’ s point o f view . . . and we shall fin d ourselves safe at the end of the road.” There follow ed a series of meetings between the P resident a n d M r. C h u rch ill, and M r. C h u rch ill and top m ilita r y brass. The complete results of these talks m a y not be known fo r WINSTON C H U R C H ILL years, but i t is evident they have re sulted in closer cooperation between the two countries. C hurchill, no doubt, has received assurances of econom ical help so badly needed by G reat B rita in . W hether or not B rita in w ill jo in in the European defense a rm y w ith g reater enthusiasm than previously indicated has not been announced. M ost observers believed th a t was one of the P rim e M in is te r’ s barg a in in g points. A New Low ^R E S ID E N T T ru m a n ’ s relations reporters a t the White House are at an a ll-tim e low. The boys in the W hite House press room, usually among his stanchest friends, resent the frequent cracks P resident has been m aking about the press generally. And they don’t appreciate the baw ling out they get when asking sim ple questions at the W hite House news conferences. I t didn’ t get into the papers, but M r. T rum an, who returned fro m Key West tire d and crochety, a l m ost took two m ore digs at the re porters recently. F irs t, he wanted to lecture them fo r not emphasizing th a t the lis t of w a r prisoners put out by the Chinese Communists was u n ve rifie d and thus probably in a c curate— something, in cid e n ta lly, that a ll reporters already had stressed. He also wanted to baw l them out fo r leaking the story that Judge Tom M urphy of New Y ork had turned down the job of chief g ra ft in ve stig ato r. However, the P resi dent’ s press officers, led by able Joe Short, convinced M r. Trum an to forget about it. P1 w ith Inside Hungary F in a l decision to pay the ransom ; of the fo u r U.S. flie rs in H ungary , was made only a fte r significant back-stage debate which goes to the v e ry root of A m erican policy tow ard Russian satellites. Inside fa ct is that the Defense de- ' partm ent, not the State departm ent, j made the decision to put up the ransom money—fo r two reasons: 1. The four a ir force men were o ffic ia l representatives of the U n it ed States and specifically of the De fense departm ent. 2. The jo in t chiefs of sta ff shied away fro m any th re a t of re ta lia tio n fo r fe a r Hungary m ig h t call our bluff. This latter point gets down to the root problem of whether it Is wise to provoke the Soviet. It has come up time after time In the past, and the joint chiefs of staff always shy away from any showdown. In general, so does the State department. This was the issue involved in the question of bom bing M anchurian te rrito ry beyond the Yalu riv e r. It has also been involved in much m ild e r m atters in the cold war. j j I Propaganda Balloons F o r instance, when this colum nist last spring urged sending propa ganda balloons behind the Iro n C ur tain, it was frowned on by m ilita ry advisers and by some State d e p a rt m ent o fficia ls. They feared a violent reaction in Moscow. B u t when the Crusade fo r Free ! dom was able to flo a t balloons into Czechoslovakia and Poland, the freedom leaflets were m im eo graphed, tacked on telephone poles, m ailed anonymously to Communist o fficia ls, and created such a fu ro r th a t Com m unist newspapers, the Czech p rim e m in is te r and Radio Moscow had to go in to high gear to reply. P ublic opinion became so rile d inside Czechoslovakia th a t the Com m unists actu a lly began looking fo r some way to free AP correspondent W illia m Oatis in order to tu rn o ff the heat. However, when s im ila r balloon o r propaganda projects have been urged fo r H ungary and other satel lite countries, an o ffic ia l w a ll of discouragem ent has been erected by the pentagon and by some o f the m ore tim id souls in the State depart ment. The reason is p a rtly illu stra te d by a sto ry told by Gen. Bedell Sm ith, expert head of central in telligence, who recounts a conver sation between Georges D im itro v and Stalin. “ A re you a fra id of w a r? ” Stalin was asked. “ Yes,” replied S talin, “ but not as a fra id as the West.” Nevertheless, there are plenty o f propaganda steps th a t can be taken w ith no danger o f w a r. F u rth e r more, it rem ains a fa c t that the la w of the jungle rem ains the law of the K re m lin . And when U.S. propa ganda s tirs the population of Czecho slovakia o r H ungary to a boiling point, the K re m lin is m uch more lik e ly to act w ith reason.

It has also caused a great s tir in Republican circles. The general said, in effect, th a t he would not make any pre-convention fig h t fo r the GOP presidential nom ination. He added, however, th a t he has always been a Republican and that he would probably accept a clear cut ca ll to p o litic a l leadership w hich is the duty o f every A m erican. Eisenhower's statem ent was made a fte r he was put on something of a spot d u rin g a recent news conference by Sen. H enry Cabot Lodge, d u rin g w hich the senator announced he was placing the general’ s name on the New H am pshire Republican ballot. Before Lodge's news conference, Eisenhower had repeatedly refused to make any comm ent on his p o litic a l aspirations. B y continued silence, he would have let it be known, in a nega tive m anner, th a t he was w illin g to take the Republican nom ination. W hile his statem ent was not as clear as some would have liked, it was noted that the general did not request his name held o ff the New Ham pshire ballot. Eisenhower has assumed a unique, i f somewhat confusing, posi tion in A m erican p o litics in the eyes of the average home tow n voter. A lm ost as s ta rtlin g as Senator Lodge's m aneuvering and E isen hower’s statement, was the announce m ent by The New Y o rk Times, one of A m e ric a ’ s oldest and most influen- c ia l newspapers, th a t it would sup port the general "e n th u s ia s tic a lly " i f he becomes a candidate fo r President. The newspaper has supported GOP p residential candidates only tw ice in the past 20 years. Said The Tim es in a lead e d ito ria l: "W e have given our support on those occasions to the D em ocratic candidate essentially because we were re lu cta n t to tru s t the Republican p a rty on issues of foreign policy and because we believe these issues to be the decisive issues of the cam paign, tow ering high above a ll domestic issues—fo r the cle a r and s u ffi cient reason th a t w ithout a sound and courageous foreign policy the safety, the prosperity, even the v e ry independence of th is nation would be endangered. “ In G eneral Eisenhower we have a m an who shares this conviction. We are confident th a t he would be able to lead even the laggards among his fellow Republicans away fro m isolation and tow ard w orld responsi b ility .” By Jo« MAMON!
