SUNDAY, FEB. 17, 1953: Washington Calling—

Reds May Have Big Atom Pile

Late

This Year

? By Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, Feb. 16—Russia nay have enough

A-bombs to attack us late this year. That is what some:

high Pentagon officials say. And that's why top military men worry about defense slowdown—though they say it's too late now to do

anything about it.

They still believe 1952 is the crucial year. They fear the danger will become acute after Russia's fall harvest. Pentagon hears report that Russia has found ‘out how to make A-bombs faster and cheaper than we do, will soon have as many bombs as we have. Russia never demobilized. She hasn't increased size of her war machine, but has modernized it in recent years. Pentagon’s anxious to get out of Korea, because: of

world picture.”

NOTE: Japanese sources—who sometimes get wind of things before we do—offer this tip: Look for Korean armistice the last week of February or first week of

March,

Reds Worry Japs JAPANESE authorities worry over signs that Commie leaders are heing moved in, to function when peace treaty becomes effective. Word is’ the Commies are getting set to disrupt factory production, demoralize security forces, try to make trouble between Americans’and non-Communist Japanese, Communist party membership in Japan is now estimated at 90,000, with another 250,000 sympathizers. Russian seizure of Japanese fishing vessels —- which has been increasing so fast that Gen. Ridgway has protested — may be linked to Commie plan for moving in new straw bosses and party workers, from thousands of indoctrinated Japanese now in Russian hands.

Spent on Horses? HOUSE investigators are checking possibility that some of the money the government lost In commodity shortage gcandal may -have -been spent on race horses. H. D. Tanner, Colorado pinto bean king, now under indictment, turns out to have heen owner of one horse raced in 1950 at Denver's Centennial Park track, and co-owner, with anothér Tanner, of seven more. Tanner “family became big bean merchants after Agricultures Department began giving tern pinto beans to store in 1048. Bean growers praised thém for paying highest prices; bean buvers praised them for «olling low. Agriculture Department finally tumbled to fact something , was wrong, found that only 16'5 million of the 19 million pounds of pinto beans stored with them were actually In warehouses. Government's loss is about £1 million. That may be cut by pro-rating what's left when receivership is yound up. Whitten House Subcommittee thinks Agriculture Department should have found shortage earlier.

Matt for lke? IF GEN. EISENHOWER leaves NATO soon, President Truman wants to send Gen Matthew B. Ridgway there to take over. If choice is left to however, it would prefer Gen. Alfred Greuenther, Ike's present chief of staff. Gen, Hoyt Vandenberg, whose term as Air Chief ofStaff expires in April, may be reappointed. If not, best bet is Gen. lLauris Norstad, now in Europe.

Airline Fight NON-SCHEDULED airlines are getting set to fight efforts of large scheduled airlines to take over low-cost aircoach travel, which the independents pioneered. Mén from 50. non-gcheds meet here next week, headed by Amos E...Heacock, president of Aircoach Transport Association. They'll talk about an industry-wide safety program, - engineering improvements in C-48 (which most of them fly), ridding industry of irresponsible ticket agencies, advertising code of ethics, improvement of service -to military, and what to do about recently launched Civil Aeronautics Board investigation,

Bite Is On SEN A TORS investigating 1950 Ohio senatorial race have found way to put teeth in fed-

eral Corrupt Practices Act through use of income tax laws, They've talked it over

with internal revenue officials. It's this: While Corrupt Practices Act limits political donations by each individual to $5000, Internal Act laws make it possible te tax gifts of more than $3000 in one year to any one person. Attorneys advised wealthy. Republican contributors in Ohio not to give more than $3000 for this reason.

UNIFICATION of armed services is still more myth than fact, after five years, recent hearings on Capitol Hill disclose, When one of the services finds way to economize in purchasing supplies, . it keeps method secret to show up other services.

THE INPTANATOLIS MAES

Chiang Won't Repeat Offer of Men for Korea Even If China ‘Snatches’ POWs Loyal to Him

Sees Formosa Always in Peril

Compiled From the Wire Services Chiang Kai-shek dashed cold water this week on all chances of his ever repeating his offer to send troops to. fight in Korea. Mrs, Geraldine Fitch, Special NEA Correspondent, inter. viewed him- at his Tajpeh, Formosa, home. Chiang went even further, He told Mrs. Fitch he would not repeat. his offer even if Red China “snatches” Chinese POWs who have told the United Nations that they loyal to him and have no wish to return tp the mainland. Always A Danger

are _

“If there is a cease fire in Korea,” Mrs, Fitch asked him, »do you beli®ve there is danger that Formosa will be invaded?” : Mme, Chiang, who was _ pr¥sent at the Interview,

quickly interjected her opinion that there was such a danger. The president gravely and said, “As far as the Communists’ desire to take Formosa is concerned, it is always there.” : %

un ~ . MRS. FITCH mentioned the Chinese POWs on Koje Island and told him that she had heen informed by. American officers in Korea that 80 per

cent of them want to return

to “Free China.” Some have even had Chinese characters tattooed on their backs reading: ‘“I' am antiCommunist.” Won't Press Offer

The Generalissimo spoke

. very seriously:

“I have offered 35,000 troops for Korea and have repeated the offer. I do not intend to repeat it. again or press it. “But if the Chinese POWs who want to come to Formosa are forced -to return to Red China, our soldiers of Free China wiil not want to fight in Korea. “And if those POWs are forced to return to Red’ China; their deaths will be charged not to the Communists, but to the United Nations,”

Great Britain THE coronation of Queen Elizabeth II probably will be held this fall, an authority close to the roval family said. It will be the first time in 200 years that a monarch has been crowned in the same year as the death of the previous sovereign, The queen relaxed at her Clarence House home with her husband and children, her first respite from- official duty since the moment 10 days ago when she learned in East Africa that she had become Queen. It was a brief rest, however, for she was expected to consult this week-end with her advisers on her coming coronation. She also must decide soon on other matters, such as whether to continue the $70.000 annually her father gave the Duke of Windsor,

Scotland

SCOTTISH nationalists announced that they will call for a court test to determine the proper title—in Scotland—of Britain's new Queen. The issue {is whether ahe should be referred to as Queen Elizabeth I or Queen Elizabeth 11. Dr. John MacCormick, rector of the University of Glasgow, said the action is based on the fact that Scotland did not become a ‘part of the United Kingdom until 1707—following the reign of the first Elizabeth,

West Germany THE North Atlantic Treaty planners are facing some awkward arguments from the Germans, Treaty members preparing for their Lisbon sessions Feb. 20 seem uniformly astounded at Germany's ‘growing’ insistehee on a voice in their .councls i Germany is expected to raise about 12 divisions with supporting units, for the command of Gen. Eisenhower, No German government, the Germans argue, can possibily face its own people if it" surrenders control of its forces to an international agency in which it has no voice, It will not be easy for NATO to frame a reply to that one.

India’s. recent election -—%he first in its history—may wake Premier Nehru to the menace of communism in the Far East, diplomatic sources here believe. Mr. Nehru's

France FRANCE has been assured by the United States that

American troops probably will remain, in Europe for some time to come, it was reported, and that France, therefore, need not fear German aggression. An American source said that this was the U. 8S. answer

to the French assembly's de-

mand that American troops remain in Europe as a guarantee against the possible secession of Germany from the proposed European army. The American source said Congress already has voted its approval of stationing six divisions in Europe for as long as is- considered necessary.

By THE TIMES STAFF

BITTER DISSENSION that has been smol

behind scenes in" Marion County GOP organization f weeks is scheduled to break out into re with some

fireworks tomorrow night.

PAGE 281"

5 i

iad

County Chairman John Innis, who ar been having trouble keeping ward bosses in line, has called showdown session at Claypool tomorrow presumably to “lay down

the law.”

Groups have been splitting up in the Taft-Eisenhower tussle with corresponding lineups on the many-sided

~ Governor contest.

Chairman Innis is expected to try for “harmony” behind his leadership so all can go along on some slate

of candidates.

There's ‘where the fireworks is expected to start, Pressure is on to force Chairman Innis to swing machine

to U. S.

Sen. Taft for President. But Eisenhower forces

have cut deeply into ranks and Mr, Innis wants to count

noses and see what's what, Best tip is that Eisenhower forces won't let themselves be

counted either way , . . giving the chairman strict silent treatment.

This, coupled with fact that many Taft supporters also are after chairman's scalp will turn session into free-for-all unless Mr. Innis backs down on plan to force test of strength.

Any Showdown?

BEST GUESS right now on state Democratic organization strategy {is that behind-the-scenes compromise will be sought in ‘movement to oust Frank McHale as party's National Committeeman. Tip on this strategy was seen ‘Friday when State Democratic Committee changed its rules, setting the time for election "of new National Committeeman five weeks earlier than old schedule. If Mr. McHale wants a showdown vote, he'll have to go to the post for election by the State Committee on May 17 instead of June 24 as originally scheduled. Evidence is increasing that McHale forces will try to sidestep showdown of strength and compromise on successor and elect him without open break in state organization. Such compromise, of course, would give Mr. McHale some voice in choice of successor,
