Warfare In Korea Similar To Thai In World War I -<£ Kifl In Hisli Places Fol lows Selection Of The New Cabinet -'-£■-— Washington.—The fighting in Koiea has developed inti - a dreary battle ni trenches and fortifi-d positions not unlike that which vm.- waged between the Germans and French and British in 1915 1016 and 1917 Posit r< - id in such dt pi toat an attack consumes a heavy expenditure of human life- As in World War I there is. nowhere to flank the I’ enemy on the front. Military experts who recall the .slaughters which took place at Verdun, in the British offensives in 191f> and 1917, and in the French offensives of 1915 and 191(1 look at the Korean situation with- strong misgivings. The American command 'is not eager to hurl a mass ol human flesh against the communist lines. And m the last two communist offen sives the Allied troops exacted a fearful toll of enemy troops. The Reds are not too eager to mount .i major offensive either While they do not admit it pub licly, some ot our top command ers are at a complete loss to know what sli p to take next. General Dwight D. Eisenhower saw foi himself the tragic situation which confronted the Allies on his recent tom ol the front lines. He is to try to improve the situation. He might use naval and air power as £ an alternative plan to tile ground offensive. But just how remains to be seen. Because of the topography oi tlic land, laigc battles of movt meat involving tanks and niotoi i/cd equipment are very difficult The action is almost confined to the old-style trench warfare, which is a costly dilemma. There is a possibility that tactical atomic weapons could revolutionize 1he ground lighting, but there have been no hints that such weapons will be employed. Meanwhile Ike is wrestling with a dreadful prob lem, winch is how to bring an end to the bogged iown trench ■ welfare, which seems likely to go on a long time unless neve* pres sure is brought on the Chinese. Senator Bob Taft has a legiti mate gripe as a result of tile ap pointments llius far by General , Eisenhower. In a meeting with Ike some time ago, the General told Taft he would like foi him to sub mit a list oi possibilt cabinet p pointments When Taft got ready to submit his suggestions, he had to hand them in to Herbert Brownell, Jr the * w York law yer who had masterminded the Taft defeat, m the G. O. P. con vention at Chicago. Then, after submitting this list. Ik* paid little attention to it. In fact he appointed men who seem ed to have tin approval of the Dewey lieutenants who surround-, ed him. Taft was plugging for Senate) llai*;- Byrd ol YYigini.. as Sccictaiy **1 the Ticasury but a fellow Ohtan was n..:: 1 '*, c, q post without Tail's knowledge 'Radio To Give No ! Aid to the Enemy — President Truman recently an nounced a plan which has been worked out by the Federal Com munications Commission, the National Security Council and other agencies which would pre vent using the transmission of ihc thousands of radio stations in this country foe navigational aids'.’ Bouvet ’ down into its briefest torn., the plan is this: All radio stations will bo switched to one wave length band : rain warning has As ai; siai 1011s go to the same wave length the pow er will bo reduced so that a mini mum o‘ interference and confus ion will bo caused In other words, a powerful station which covers several states will be re duced to a coverage radius of on ly a fraction of its former power. It will operate with just enough But it was the appointment of Silicon. Weeks and Martin Durk in which precipitated Taft's blast ,.t Ike’s Durkin appointment. Weeks was named Commerce Secretary and since he had ask ed Taft to withdraw from the pre sidential race this summer Ills ap pointment over the Taft nominee was a blow. Then, when Durkin a Demon at and a Stevenson man- was named Labor Secre tary. to preside in a f ield in which i Taft had specialized and repre sented tile party for years, Taft’ felt as though iie had been slap-! perl in tin face. Durkin didn't even like the Talt Hartley labor: law, which had been Talt pet. It' w as an indirect repudi: tion of Tu11 s labor poln u s. This Taft couldn't take silently even though hi' had remained largely quiet in the face of the other appointments, and that’s when he spoke out about Durkin appointment being an "incredible" one Down in Argentina Dictator Pe ri >n has been disappointed. Where as a ft w months ago he had high hopes for his atomic energy prif jiram. »and even announced that soon he would Uave an atomic . nerg.y plant, he now is disillus toned. His Austrian head of the project has reported been march ed off to jail. Hundreds ot other workers are said to havi been dismissed. The progiam seems to have taken a turn up 4, dyad alley. Now Peron i- o-ttinjstbis revenge, like dic tators are supposed to do. But he isn't getting atomic enerpj and it may be a long time before the am bitious ruler can fulfill his pro mises. Tie rnajoi domestic problem which may face the Eisenhower administration next year is, a downward trend, continuing, in farm prices received by farmers. Cotton, wheat, corn, hogs and cattle prices are all down from either 1951 or 1952 highs. And while prices paid bv fanners are down to othey are not down near i.v as much. The result: A squeeze on farmers’>budgets. The situation is not critical i-Yic -s received are still good but either prices paid must be lowei • cO or thiiM received kept up. oi hikod slightly. The answer pro bably lies in cutting out some of tlie excessive profits of middle! men, bui how to do that is the! big, question in the agricultural held. Ike s atiministration must find the answer. power to reach listeners in its area but not enough to interfere with stations (broadcasting on the same frequency) in other areas The radio compass, which is widely used in aircraft, will be ineffectual against such strategy. Aircraft navigators wiP not be able fo tune it to any station on the basis of wave-length fre quency, since all stations will be or the same wave length. In ad ■i^non, the ihslruti'eyt \vvU fluc tuate wildly and therefore be useless. t Thus, the nation's radios will be able to stay on the air, broad casting warnings or alerts, even during air actual mid. This is an improvement over the technique which was relied on bv most countries during the last war In this country, infrequent warnings led to shutdowns by many sta tions and this impractical system can now be avoided. Social Security for The Seliemployed -at- t "If you work for yourself or as a partner in an unincorporated trade or business, your work came under the new Social Security Act on January 1. 1951," Marshall H. Barney, manager of tin Rocky Mount office of the Social Securi ty Administration, reminded busi nessmen in this area. Farm owners still do not partici pate in the social security pro gram. nor do members of certain professions, such as dentists, doe-1 tors, lawyers, public accountants, and morticians. Others who are in .business toi themselves, lot; gin. running grocery stores, oper ating service stations, and so on were brought under social secur ity on a compulsory basis for the I first time last year. The sell-employed should have ! made their social security tax re- i turns along with their Ferieial in- j eome tax returns for 1951 by the j fifteenth id' March. They need ! social security numbers fui thosi j returns and Barney suggested lhat they apply for new or re placement social security raids through his office now. \ tree booklet.
