Two B-29s were shot down, a third was listed as missing but was seen crashing into the sea. Seven of the big superfortresses had to crash-land in South Korea, while one more was badly damaged but made it back to the home base. Despite this disastrous toll, the bridge wasn't even hit, and the mission. was a complete failure. On the other hand, most of our bomb- ing missions have been far more successful and the air force on the whole has done an amazing job When our planes get close to the Manchurian border and Russian planes, however, the hazards in- crease. Dean “Mac Acheson” President Truman gave a small dinner party recently for Israel's visiting Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion, and during the evening commented on the Prime Minister’s unusual name. Ben Gurion explained to Mr. Tru- man that he had taken an old Jewish name, and that many Jews had changed their names after settling in Israel. At the table was elder-statesman Congressman Charles Eaton of New Jersey, who, though a Republican, has been sympathetic to Secretary of State Acheson during the Gen- eral MacArthur discussion. Turn- ing to Acheson, Eaton remarked: “Perhaps, Mr. Secretary, you should change your name to some- thing beginning with “Mae.' " Friend<hip Grain for India The Russians are playing the same kind of trick in India that they did in France—a trick which helped inspire the friendship train in the United States. In India today, the Kremlin has suddenly announced that it is send- ing 50,000 tons of wheat to the In- dian people; and as a result of timed move, Russia has monopolized the headlines and won thousands of new friends. Ac- tually, Russia is selling the wheat, not giving it. In contrast, the Uni- ted States has been selling wheat to India at the rate of 100,000 bush- els per month for some time. In a somewhat similar situation in France in 1947, Russia landed one shipload of wheat in Marseil- les during the height of the French drought, and, thanks to a parade through the city, gt reams of pub- licity and left the general impres- sion that she was feeding the French people. Actually, France had to pay for the Russian wheat in dollars, how- ever. This incident helped give this writer the idea of having the Am- erican people collect food by means of the friendship train for the then hungry people of western Europe, and showing motion pic- tures of the food collections and of the train in the theatres of Europe industry, It is celebrating the 100th anni- versary of the Great Exhibition of 1851 planned anc executed by Prince Albert and a colossal success in spite of the general opposition to Prince Albert’s dream.

The MacArthur Controversy So many thousands of words of testimony have been published re- garding the MacArthur dispute, that it is difficult to keep the rec- ord straight. However, here are a few important facts, not all of them published, which should be weighed in arriving at conclusions: General MacArthur — mentioned four points in the now-famous Jan. 12 memo from the joint chiefs of staff. Actually, there were 16 points in this memo, and it was perhaps natural that he should mention only the points which best supported his case.
