Let's Make It Clear, Now

THE QUESTION of seating Communist China keeps bobbing up in the United Nations. A 14-nation steering committee by a 12-to-2 vote blocked Russia's move on Saturday to place the question on the United Nations’ Paris program, but that decision goes to the 60-nation General Assembly this week. And once more Russia, with the expected aid of India, will have an opportunity to pull out all stops in support of the Red puppet in Asia. * . Moreover, Russia repeatedly has dropped hints that a package deal might be in the making, based on an armistice in Korea in return for Allied acquiescence to admitting the Peiping regime to the United Nations. Our United Nations delegation is on record as opposing recognition of Red China or granting Mao Tse-tung representation in the United Nations “at present”—or “in existing circumstances,” as Philip Jessup put it.

BUT IN India the other day, Chester Bowles, our new ambassador, inadvertently or not, may have reflected present State Department thinking. Asked why the United States had not recognized Red China, he told the Indian press: “As long as the (Korean) war goes on, the American people will not vote for recognition of China. But if negotiations are successful and we do get peace in Korea, that may be the first step of a long chain which may lead to a new situation.” The State Department could settle this question once and for all by simply letting it be known the moment the Chinese Reds walk into the United Nations, the United States would walk out. There can be a United Nations with the United States in it and the Communist Chinese on the outsidé—or a United Nations with Mao Tse-tung a member, and the United States

on the outside.

war. ; . Without American support, the United Nations would

eollines, Britain, France and our other Allies know that.

But if a majority of the member states want a United Nations with the Chinese Reds sitting in, they must accept the consequences of our getting out. It's time to stop all the double talk and vague hints that we might take a new look at the Chinese Reds, even in the remote event that they quit killing Americans for their Moscow bosses.

They Fight Alone

"JHE PEOPLE who are in this war all the way are the men fighting in the sickening cold of Korea—the men who live a Heartbreak Ridge every day. And die. Few of the rest of us really are in the war. Most of us are making a “valiant” effort to keep business going as usual. Politics as usual. Gimme as usual. Comfort as usual. : It isn't practicable, or even possible, to fight a shooting, killing war in Korea afi arm ourselves to stand off an even more perilous threat, and at the same time carry on normally on the home front. But that's what we are trying to do. The war effort suffers because of it. The government spends as usual, and runs up a staggering defici—in the face of an already overwhelming national debt. : The military moans because Congress cuts off some of its press agents. 2 = . - - . SHIPPING was tied up in New York nearly four weeks by a strike born of dissension inside a union. A railroad union threatens another strike. Inflation gets out of hand because controls are imposed too late and too timidly. Ceiling leaks grow dangerously and the CIO seeks to crack the wage control system, with a strike in vital war industries plainly implied. The inevitable result would be a breakdown of the whole stabilization program. The State Department pursues a soothing policy in dealing. with enemy agents in this country. Blood donations still lag behind the amounts necessary for the safety of wounded men in Korea. Influence peddling, chiseling and downright corruption beset°the government, Politics and maneuvering for the 1952 election get top play at the White House and on down the line.

But to the vast majority on the home front it merely is an inconvenience, or disagreeable reading in the hewspapers. And so we observe Armistice Day, trying to fight a war on a peace-time basis. But there is no armistice for death in Korea.

PARIS, Nov. 12—The United States may

have gained a momentary advantage over the

Soviet Union in the peace and disarmament offensive here by taking the initiative in the debate, but the obvious futility of the whole ~ proceedings raises the question of what good can come of it.

BOTH the United States and Russia have told the United Nations General Assembly that they seek peace and each has submitted a program for general disarmament, But any likelihood of the two programs being reconciled has been ruled out in advance by charges of bad faith the sponsors of the two plans have made against one another.

Moreover, the discussion is being carried on in an atmosphere of unreality because both the United States and Russia Are almost feverishly preparing for war. In fact, it might easily be inferred that both powers are resigned to the

DEAR BOSS . . . By Dan Kidney

Korea Seen Aid To Gl Cases

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12—That the Korean War has helped sustain interest in veterans care was peirted out in an Armistice Eve speech here by the new National Commander of the American Legion.

National! Commander Donald R. Wilson, Clarksburg, W. Va., addressed the District of Columbia Department at the annual National Commander's dinner at the Willard Hotel,

Outlining the 33-year history of the Legion, he reported that advance enrollment nf memberships at the national headquarters In Indianapolis is now running 100,000 ahead of last year. He 4hen emphasized the need for numbers in order to continue the fight for veterans benefits. Between wars veterans are apt to be forgotten, he declared. “Had it not been for the outbreak of the shooting war in Korea, with its daily reminder of war's horrors and hardships, we would very likely be battling tonight to save the principle of veteran's care,” Commander Wilson declared.

“Historically, the position of the veteran after every major war has declined from one of public hero rating reverence to that of public nuisance rating anonymity.

Slaps at Foes

“THE cycle has not moved altogether under its own power. It has been driven by a few organizations ard interests which resent any attempt to wipe out benefits accorded by law.

“I make this point because it is important, not only to our own understanding, but to public evaluation of the veteran's program. There are those who will say that readjustment at a later date of benefits provided in time of emotional strain is a normal and necessary thing. That has never been so as applied

« to veterans’ legislation, and it is not so now. It

is a contention of individuals who either do not know the facts or desire to abuse them.”

Commander Wilson outlined the Legion's veterans benefits program adopted after World War I and its destruction by the Roosevelt administration in 1933. Under Legion pressure it was restored in 12 months, he pointed out. Today the U. 8. A. has on its statute books “the most liberal and constructive array of laws dealing with veterans benefits” of any country on earth, Commander Wilson declared.

Extension Urged

THE benefits accorded servicemen in World War II, including GI educational rights, must be extended to the Korean fighters he main-

“A curious notion has grown up to the effect that the veterans’ program on the federal level has reached its saturation point,” he said, “and that from now on only minor adjustments are in order. That is definitely not so. It would not be so even if the Korean conflict had never occurred.” : “Ministering to the rights and needs of veterans involves constantly changing and constantly challenging problems. The march of time itself weighs héavily upon disabilities, “Changes in economic conditions, in medical science, in the buying value of the dollar— these and many other factors of day-to-day living have a pronounced effect upon the veteran’s program.

Must Correct Error

“TO CASUALLY assume the job well done at this point is to endanger all that has been accomplished. The American Legion, I assure you, will make no such assumption. “We recognize that there are inequalities to be leveled, services to be improved, errors to be corrected. We shall strive with greater effort this year than ever before to bring about the necessary legislative and administrative action.” After outlining the Legion legislative programs adopted at the recent Miami convention, Commander Wilson concluded: “Some misguided and uninformed critics have said that the American Legion is in the business of veterans benefits for all it can get. “We have been labeled pension-grabbers, Treasury-raiders and similar catch names connoting irresponsibility and disregard for the public interest. “In. answer to such malicious and unjustified criticism, I specificially call your attention to the fact that our 33d national convention just completed gave consideration to and overwhelmingly rejected a proposal for a general veterans’ pension.”

NEW STUFF . . . By Frederick C. Othman You Can’t Stop Our Inventors—

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12—I don’t care what the government says about no more new models of anything after next February; our manufac-

turers continue to bubble over with ideas.

I tell you, the clammy hand of federal regulation never will stop our inventors: Even as you read this, one of our biggest tire companies has on the market the first shoes ever made entirely from plastics; laces included. A fast-thinking paper maker is about to place on sale facial tissues impregnated with anti-bacterial drugs. Or give yourself a treatment every time you wipe your face, Not a bad idea, either, when somebody sneezes at you. I am pleased also with the men of the.new day in New Jersey, who now are producing fresh-frozen chicken-in-the-rough. This includes fried chicken, potato sticks and honey rolls, rigid in a basket which, unfortunately, is not edible. One of our leading textile mills these many years has been making handsome upholstery materials of wool and nylon for automobiles. It

CAIRO, Nov, 12—There are sharp differences in the British and Egyptian versions of day-to-day happenings during the controversy over the Suez Canal Zone. A typical British communique will begin by saying there were no incidents that day involving British troops inthe Canal Zone. On the same day, an Egyptian government handout will list, dozens of incidents in cities within the zone. A recent Egyptian announcement attributed to the British seizure of equipment valued at more than $150,000 and robberies of nearly $3000 in cash. ~ » ”

MOST of the purported victims blamed the robberies on British patrols or soldiers who search them for guns at highway check points. The British say the reports are mostly fiction, and point out. that few, attempts have been made by Egyptian police or the alleged victims to press their accusations. : The cash

The last improvement would seem to be about the only new one the auto makers can make after Feb. 1. I was sorry about this because I had hopes that perhaps Detroit would decide to improve its 1952 models with cranks and running boards, items for which I long have campaigned. Now by federal edict, this cannot be. I've got to be honest; perhaps it is just as well. I met a beautiful lady at the Capitol yesterday who still drives a 1936 model LaSalle. She keeps it shiny and slick and it runs perfectly. She gave me a lift and I thought I had a recruit in my running-board effort. Not so. She said she wanted one of the fat new, fashionable club coupes.

A Big Problem

ONLY she lives in a crowded section of town, where a lady can’t park her car on the street without getting a ticket. Her garage is built into her house, which also was erected in 1936 to fit the LaSalle. * Now no standard automobile made in Amerfca today will go into the garage with more than two inches to spare on either side. She could get the car in, all right, but she couldn't get out. This is a problem for sure.

Meanwhile, only the titles of the two disarmament proposals will be featured on the daily printed agenda of the United Nations and there the Soviet propagandists easily outscore the lawyers who drafted the rival plan for the United States, Britain and France. : : The Allied proposal is identified as a pldn for “regulation, limitation and balanced reduction of all armed forces and armaments.” The Russian ‘plan is styled “measures to combat the threat of a new world war and to strengthen peace and friendship among nations.” .

THE RUSSIANS invariably make a short speech in isting their subjects for consideratiop. Thereafter the reading clerk of the assembly becomes an unwitting mouthpiece for their propaganda. This was particularly noteworthy of resolutions pertaining to the Korean War, But the western countries haven't made a sutcessful attempt to counter such tactics,

‘A Late Start’

MR. EDITOR: I am not one of those persons who believe the Republicans have anything to be particularly exultant over because they won several major local victories in this election. They have been called reactionaries and this is partly true, because for the past several years they have refused to fight the good fight against a powerful, corrupt, war-making, political machine, known as the New Deal and Fair Deal, which #8 so reactionary that it is old as time itself. In this election some of these timid Republicans were afraid of the New Deal, the Fair Deal, Roosevelt, Truman, Jenner, McCarthy, socalled isolationism and they were even afraid of that grand person, Mr. Republican himself, Robert Taft, who would fight for the principles he believed to be right if he never got a single vote. * db :

THE DEMOCRATS, the New Dealers and the Fair Dealers are largely responsible for our boys being sent to the slaughtering pens in Korea today. Their philosophy, of government has never worked as a peace time economy and they built Russia and Joe Stalin into a Frankenstein monster that has now come back to plague them, However, neither are the Republicans entirely blameless, nor is their record as pure as the driven snow. If they had been fighting the good fight since 1940, with hammer and tongs, tooth and toenail, with no holds barred when it comes to high principles, instead of looking for a politically expedient glamor boy, the world would probably be a better place to live in today. | However, they have made something of ‘a belated start, so let's get on with the show. We have nothing to lose by cleaning up the corrupt mess in Washington, District of Confusion and everything to gain even if we are about a dozén years late. :

‘Dangerous Walks’

MR. EDITOR: So help me, if people don't start cleaning their walks somebody is going to get killed. During those recenty snowy and rainy days, I walked down the street in our neighborhodd to the grocery store, a distance of about three blocks. On the way down I only found three houses where the snow had been cleaned off the walk, What's the matter with people. Can't théy get up enough gumption to shovel the snow off their walks. It's not hard. It might even do some of them good for a change, 3

You know, about a year ago, my mother, who is 65, slipped and fell on that same street on the way to the store. The walks hadn't been cleaned. Well, she broke her hip and Iet me tell you it took a long time to mend in the hospital. It's a wonder she lived through it at her age.

There ought to be a law against. allowing people to, let their walks go that way. If I were a mailman, I wouldn't deliver mall to houses where the snow covered the walks and steps. I'd be afraid I might fall and bust my hip, too. If Mayor Clark wants to do something really constructive in this town, let him take care of that situation. You're not out anything by taking a little time to clean’ vour walks. Why not do it when the snow falls again? —Winter Hater, City.

ticularly after hundreds of “robberies” already had been reported.

THIS the British have persistently denled. They say they lack women to search women, but tell themselves that Egyptian women aren't likely to be carrying guns anyway.

Another “fabrication” of which the British accuse the Egyptian press is the expanding of melodramatic deeds attributed to Egyptian “liBeration units,” who have been given such exciting names as “Moonlight Commandos” and “Devils of the Night.”

A British spokesman says there is no evidence yet of any organized movement of such irregular characters against the British,

The Cairo press has reported a wave of fearless gun snatchings by the liberation units and the British have acknowl edged some cases, The papers give all such incidents a flavor of daring, but it remained for the Egyptian interior ministry to relay the report of a British corporal about what happened fo him recently in Ismailia. a on
