A letter from an old-pal Republican in Medford chides the
writer for maintaining Senator Morse, quote:
"Offered amendments to the Taf t Hastier law ... it
is nay recollection Morse never offered an amendment to
' the Taft-Hartley law ... but thai he made an address be
fore the CIO at Portland in which he agreed with the
labor racketeers that the Taft-Hartley law was a slave
labor law and mutt be REPEALED."
Our GOP veteran is mistaken.
In 1949 Senator Morse offered a long list of amendments to
the Taft-Hartley law, many with which Senator Taft LATER
agreed. In addressing the CIO in Portland November 23, 1948,
Morse urged that organized labor offer, proposed revisions to the
law instead of insisting upon outright repeal.
At least this is the substance of a wire just received from
the Senator's office in Washington and we have never known
Wayne Morse to misrepresent ANYthing in ANY way, at ANY
time, during all the years we have known him.
e .
Newspaper men, especially editorial writers, now and then
climb out on a limb, and sometimes later on the limb is sawed
off greatly to their discomfort and chagrin. Now and then it's just
the reverse, and when this is true it is among the high-spots of
this somewhat harassed profession, generous compensation, how
ever, for the brickbats,- decomposed artichokes and headaches so
often preceding.
Well, such a moment has arrived, on two counts.
No. 1: Just a year ago lacking a few days General Mac
Arthur returned here to San Francisco in triumph and took it
upon himself to play the star role in his "Gethsemane" (with all
the kleig-lights blazing and all the tremelo-stops out), it was sug
gested in this department (we witnessed the ceremony), that in
spite of the fervent denials of the deposed 5-star hero, that he
had no political ambitions, and he MEANT it it should cause
no surprise if a year hence, he should be a candidate for President,
as he was a few years ago. Or if not that, would take an active
part in the campaign.'
Then and subsequently when it was popularly regarded-as
"lese majeste" if not downright blasphemy, to suggest that the
man Herbert Hoover then designated as the "incarnation of Saint
Paul" should have been merely putting on an "act" when he
denied any political interests or ambitions, it was maintained in
this department, that if the General were not playing politics, his
speeches were but of place and hard to understand or words to
that effect. For his speeches were political partisan politics
and nothing else.
Well if the validity of that
to everyone TODAY we predict it will be before the presi
dential campaign ends!
We haven't an M-T file in our luggage but our guess is, it was
MANY months before Senator Taft started on his drive for the
Republican nomination, that it was stated in this column that
there was no greater political myth than the one based upon the
belief that the Senator from Ohio was. a man of great courage,
forthrightness and disinterested statesmanship that he would
literally "rather be right than be
ering and opportunist record was
appraisal was certainly severely criticized at the time as woefully
unfair, prejudiced and untrue.
e '
But again we would refer to the record. -
And in a sketch of Senator Taft in this week's New Republic,
also based on his recent behavior, we find the following, quote:
"In May. 1950, the Senate Joint Economic Com
mittee was holding long sessions trying to reach agree
ment on its report . . . Taft was obviously stalling. The
Committee had sat long hours in hearings and the mem
bers had exchanged views very frankly. On the basis
of these talks Senator OTCahoney (Wye.) believed there
was a chance of unanimous agreement and so moved.
An embarrassed Taft told his colleagues:
" 'You know I agree with much of this (draft report),
but I am running for the Senate this year and I HAVE
GOT TO BE AGAINST EVERY SINGLE THING PRESI
DENT TRUMAN IS FOR'."

Matter of Fact
THE MYSTERIOUS FAILURE
Washington It is time to say
bluntly what neither General
of the Army Dwight D. Eisen
hower, nor his deputy. Gen. Al
fred Gruenther, who is now tes
tifying on Capitol Hill, can say
in public. It is time, in fact, to
point out that there has been a
downright disgraceful failure to
deliver weapons and war goods
to Gen. Eisenhower's command
in anything like the quantity
promised.
Figures are apt to be dull, but
those given below deeply and
directly affect the security of
the United States. Since the ag
gression in Korea, about $10
billion has been appropriated to
strengthen Western E u!r o p e
against renewed aggression, the
bulk of this money for arms
Of this great sum, only about
$1.4 billion worth of weapons
has actually been delivered to
this country's western allies. And
much even of this comparatively
miserable sum represents arms
from surplus stocks in the
United States and in Germany
Even by June 30, when the
current fiscal year ends, the
most reliable unofficial estimate
is that not more than $2 billion
worth of arms will be delivered
50 per cent behind schedules al
ready revised downward. Of the
great appropriations already
made a 'whooping $5 billion has
reportedly not even been obli
gated the money is lying un
used in the treasury, and no con
tracts have been let against it
And the current estimate is that
when the next fiscal year ends
on June 30, 1953, there will still
be an unexpended balance of
well over $5 billion.
a e
THESE figures are a record of
abysmal failure. It was to
protest In the strongest possible
terms against this failure that
Gen. Eisenhower returned to
this country last November. As a
result of Elsenhower's protest.
President Truman issued a direc
tive upping the priority on arms
for Eisenhower's command,
which had previously rated in
practice below the National
Guard. But the current and fu
ture figures cited above show
clearly that the record of failure
still continues. .
This is having a deeply danger
ous effect throughout the West
ern alliance. As Winston Chur
chill told the British Parlia
ment recently, British rearms
ment has been delayed for at
least a year because, although
"there is no question of reproach
on either side," Great Britain
"has not received aid in keeping
with our defense burden under
taken by the late prime min
ister." The effect on the other
N. A. T. O. partners is even
more serious than on the British,
who produce the great bulk of
then own arms. Arms promised
for France and other continental
allies simply have not been de
livered. This long lag in deliv
ering the goods is directly con
nected with the current crisis
in France and elsewhere.
But what is really important
to Americans is the effect of
this failure on the security of
this country. Unless virtually
every strategic expert is dead
wrong, the United States will
itself be in deadly danger if
western Europe is still indefen
sible when the Soviets have a de
cisive stock of atomic bonds
and this time is coming soon
now. Thus the failure to pro
duce and supply the planned
and promised margin of arms
which the Europeans cannot pro
duce themselves directly en
dangers the United States. And
this is only a part of a larger
failure. For by any reasonable
test, the United States is losing
the arms race with the Soviet
Union in which we are now en
gaged. e e . e
SURELY this ' lifeand-death
race is one which this coun
try, with its superb industrial
equipment, should be able to
win hands down. The failure it,

bilization civilians in this coun
try, including men like W. Aver-
ell Harriman, Robert Lovett and
Charles Wilson, are without ex
ception very able men. And
there has certainly been no lack
of money appropriated.
There are all sorts of partial
explanations the heritage of the

year, and the price trend is
down if anything. But cars and

The fading of Taft's chances

Trieste Situation
'Hot Potato' But
Can't Be Dropped
By PHIL NEWSOM
TJ.P. Foreign News Editor
In Trieste, the United States
and Britain have a three-minute
egg too hot to handle but a
mess if they
drop it
A so-called
'free territory
of only a little
more than 300
square miles
at the top of
the Adriatic, it
is claimed by
Italy. How
ever since
Wnrlri War TT
it has been ad- ' Kom
ministered in two zones in the
south by Yugoslavia and in the
north, which includes the city
of Trieste itself, by the United
States and Britain.
It has been a trouble center
almost from the moment the
Allies took it over.
In a sense, the Trieste con
troversy has its roots in the
same kind of arrangement as
finally led to the war in Korea
Arbitrary Lines Drawn
In each case, military 'com'
manders met in the field at the
end of the fighting and drew
arbitrary lines upon a map,
marking out the areas each vic
tor would administer. In Korea,
the Russians took North Korea.
We took South Korea. In Trieste,
we took the north. The Yugo
slavs the south. .
In neither case were the lines
suDDOsed to be permanent.
But in both cases, the longer
the line remained the harder
it became to erase.
So far, all Allied attempts to
settle the argument have run
into a hard wall of Yugoslav
and Italian objections from
which both sides have refused
to budge.
Two Possible Solutions
Yugoslavia's premier Marshal
Tito has said he would accept
one of two possible solutions:
1. An Italo-Yugoslav commis
sion that would administer the
free state until the departure of
the U.S.-British garrison, follow
ed by appointment of two gov
ernors who would alternate in
office.
2. Appointment of a neutral
governor with two vice gover
nors Italian and Yugoslav
each with veto powers.
Italian Premier Dr. Alcide De
Gasneri has described both as
not "serious enough" to merit
consideration.
Mistreatment Claimed
At the same time, the Italians
have accused the Yugoslavs of
mistreating Italians and perse
cuting Catholics in the Yugoslav
zone.
Many Italians have abandoned
their homes in the Yugoslav
area.
Meanwhile, both Britain and
the United States would like
nothing better than to see a solu
tion to the Trieste problem. But
both are in the position of the
helpful bystander wno geis u
in the eye during a street Drawi.
Demonstrations which began
in Trieste last week and con
tinued in Trieste and through
out Italv this week, originally
were to mark the fourth anni
versary of a United States and
Rritich aiipeestion that the free
territory of Trieste be returned
to Italy.
Russia Declined
Russia, then on friendly terms
with Yugoslavia, turned it down
but it has been the United States
and Britain which have been the
targets of the demonstrators.
Lend ine urgency to a solution
of the Trieste problem is the
fact that the west must depend
on the wholehearted cooperation
of both Italy and Yugoslavia in
any defense of the Mediterran
ean.
out "Woe" upon this wicked po
litical generation. ,
Time seems to have stood still
for the General. It is still the
1930's when he left for the
Orient, not to return until 1951.
He is reciting the speeches Of
the Alf Landon campaign, with
a passage in Korea added. Those
speeches failed then; and they
will not succeed now unless the
country has had a greater re
versal of opinion than any elec
tion to date has indicated.
The forum for this philippic
was appropriate the legislature
of Mississippi, where states'
rights meap permission to deny
civil rights. However, there are
many in the North who will
thrill to MacArthur's resonant
periods, for they, too, long to
turn the clock backwards.
The present administration
has worn out its welcome. The
country is eager for a change.
But it has little stomach for the
extreme reaction for which Mac-
Arthur is serving at spokesman.
Instead of going backward we
must go forward, continually
adapting our laws and political
processes to changes in thought
and in conditions of living. It is
too bad that MacArthur who
won fame as a general now ex
poses himself as a poor loser and
worse political leader.

In the Day's
By FRANK JENKINS
- From Washington:
"Disappointing crop planting
prospects have raised the ques
tion of whether the government
should change some of its farm
policies to encourage greater
production and to conserve sup
plies. "An agriculture department
survey last week indicated that
crop acreage will be smaller
than last year, DESPITE SEC
RETARY BRANNAN'S CALL
FOR LARGER PLANTINGS.
i "Brannan says the survey
j points to a serious livestock
feed situation which is likely to
result in smaller supplies of
meat, eggs and milk."
THAT'S an example of what
- we call "planned economy."
It is based on the theory that
political bureaucrats can think
for the people better than the
people can think for themselves.
I wonder.
The Wall Street Journal dur
ing the past few days has been
digging into an interesting scan
dal about rotting corn in GOV
ERNMENT GRANARIES in
Illinois. It seems that away back
in 1949 the government stored
corn with private storage men.
The corn began to rot. The Il
linois storage men (abhorring
WASTE, as most private individ
uals do) protested. They wanted
the government to DO SOME
THING about it. Sell the corn
for feed while it still had some
value as feed. Anything to stop
it from rotting and going to
waste.
The government, the Journal
says, did nothing. So a lot of
the corn has rotted. The investi
gation so far has covered only
stored corn in Illinois. The
amount involved in Illinois isn't
very large. But one can't help
wondering what has happened
over the corn belt as a whole.
If stored corn is being per
mitted to rot in Illinois, how
much corn is being permitted to
go to rot in ALL the corn states?
THE corn, as I suppose every--
one understands, was bought
by the government TO KEEP
THE PRICE UP. The theory was
that the government would buy
in the fat years and sell in the
lean years. Thus we would main
tain what the theorists call "an
ever-normal granary."
In THEORY, it was a hotsy
totsy idea one of the best.
Never any feast. Never any fam
ine. Just uniform and beautiful
prosperity all the time. Never
too much. Never too little. Al
ways JUST ENOUGH.
The dickens of it is that it
COULD HAVE WORKED. It
could have worked if the bureau
crats had been as pure in heart
as selfless, as utterly devoted to
the welfare of the people as they
pretended to be.
Apparently they weren't. The
only explanation of this Illinois
corn scandal that makes sense
is that the bureaucrats, once
they had bought the corn and
BOOSTED THE PRICE, lost in
terest in the ever-normal gran
ary idea.
After that, all they were awe
to see in it was a SUBSIDY
that would keep the corn farm
ers voting the Democratic ticket
If the stored corn rotted
Well, in thai event, it was
OFF THE MARKET and could
no longer depress the price.
THAT'S the trouble with a
planned economy. In time,
the planners cease to be econ
omists and BECOME POLITI
CIANS. The idea that eventually
dominates the thinking of all
politicians is how to keep them
selves in power.
T ET'S go back, to the start of
the ever-normal granary
idea. It is told most interesting
ly in the Book of Genesis.
Joseph, the eleventh son of
Jacob and the apple of his fa
ther's eye, was sold into slavery
in Egypt by his jealous brothers.
He was bought by Potiphar, the
captain of Pharaoh's guard, and
eventually became a big man in
Egypt.
The Pharaoh had a dream.
In it he saw seven fat cows
grazing by the river. Then along
came seven lean cows and ate
up the seven fat cows. He went
to Joseph, who interpreted the
dream to mean that Egypt would
have seven years of plenty, fol
lowed by seven years of famine.
Greatly impressed, Pharaoh
promoted Joseph on the spot to
be the overseer of a plan to
store the grain in the. fat years
and dispense it in the lean years.
It worked so well that when

the lean years came Egypt sat
pretty through all of them.
THERE came famine, in the
Land of Canaan, as well as
in the land of Egypt Joseph's
perfidious brothers came to
Egypt for grain. He was a noble
character. He sold them grain,
but put the money for it back
in the sacks. I haven't time to
tell the story in detail here, but
the upshot of it was that Jo
seph's aj?ed father, when he saw
the grain and learned where it
came from, said: "It is enough.
Joseph my son is yet alive. I
will go and see him before I
die." So all his children and
grandchildren, and even great
grandchildren, x loaded their
things into the wagons and jour
neyed into the land of Goshen,
where Joseph met them. Phar
aoh permitted them to settle
there. ,
They remained there for the
rest of their lives and their des
cendants lived there UNTIL
MOSES LED THEM OUT OF
EGYPT.
T HOPE you get the point that
they lived there until Moses
led them out of Egypt and back
home. In the meantime, over the
slow passage of the years, they
had became SLAVES.
That's what a planned econ
omy does to people. It seems so
easy and so wonderful at first.
It is so splendid to rely on
