This recognition is based upon what German U-boats did in the first two world wars. In our earlier conflicts, the Navy had to depend Jargely upon the convoy system, aircraft patrols and| surface ships to destroy enemy submarines. It is now | a new type of target seeking torpedo and is equipped for breathing under water. It willF include listening devices of great power. The K-1, as the ship is designed, is not a secret weapon, or naval miracle. It will operate upon con- ventional lines, depending upon sonar and clectronic detection equipment to locate enemy vessels. It is about half the size of a conventional submarine and will carry a crew of about one-half as mar m The nation’s experience in its two world emphasizes the necessity of providing some mean attacking enemy U-boats. In both of the earlier ¢ flicts, we sustained terrific ship losses until an ade- quate convoy and defense system could be imple- mented with ships and planes. In both struggle the transportation of men and material to Europe was touch and go at one time and ~3'7 in the stages of the conflict did we attain “he sary to assure transportation seryice to fronts oves wars of arity nece: seas. * | HELICOPTERS SAVING THE WOUNDED| Helicopters, the delicate’ balanced flying ma- chines that move up and down with ease, are doing a good job in Korea in evacuating the badly wounded.

Occasionally, he bounced his fingers together reflectively, in a quick, implusive gesture, and made such comments as : “that’s a tough | one.” General Bradley led off with a summary of the Korean situation. | He reported that the Communists | seemed to be ready to come to| terms, that a cease-fire agreement | could be worked out if both sides made concessions. However, Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg, Air Chief of Staff, opposed making | any major concessions. He was par- | ticularly adamant against allowing | the Communists the right to build airfields during the cease-fire. Gen. J. Lawton Collins, the army | chief of staff, vigorously opposed | giving in to the Communists on troop rotation. The Chinese have proposed a freeze on all troops en- tering Korea, thus blocking replac- | ments for combat veterans who have been promised the chance to go home on rotation. This would be a “blow tg morale,” Collins warned. -1 | SILENT ADMIRAL i However, General Collins readily agreed that “minor concessions” on other points should be made in ord- er to win concessions from the Communists. ‘President Truman’s only com- ment was that every eifort should be made to reach.a cease-fire, but no concessions should be granted | that we “would later regret.” Least talkative of the joint chiefs ! of staff was Admiral Flechteler,! who made a short, half minute speech in which he assured the President that the navy is prepared to carry out “any mission any time any place.” For the army’s part, General Col- lins assured the President that the army couldn't be blasted out of Korea ,but could hold on “until hell freezes over.” Another concession discussed was that of giving in to the Commun- ists on inspection teams behind the lines. We have been holding out for inspection by joint UN-Communist teams, but the Reds have been ar- guing for inspection by “neutral nations.” 8y neutral nations, the Commun- ist negotiators said they meant Po- land and Czechoslovakia. Later, however, they agreed that they would also consider Denmark, Swe- den and Switzerland as ‘“neutral nations.” These three would be ac- ceptatle to us, and General Bradley proposed giving ground on this point. This has now been done. The chief theme of «the mcetingl was that a cease-fire agreement may be close at hand. All signs point to a settlement within the next 20 days. Though some details will be leit to iron out after the December 27 deadline, we are sure to grant a short extension to clean them up. Anotb<r matter that was discus- sed at the White House was the question of withdrawing UN troops from Korea altogether—after the armistice. However, the facts re- garding this should not be made public now. BRASS HAT CHRISTMAS Because the captain of the navy | amphibious landing craft USS New Kent lives not far from Baltimore, its crew will have to spend Christ- mas at Baltimore, despite the fact !Ronald Woodaman lives at Glencoe, Md., a suburb of Baltimore, so he is taking the ship to Baltimore for the holidays. This means that half the officers and 68 of the enlisted men will have to travel back to Norfolk to spend Christn with their families. IF I WERE PRESIDENT Harry Truman constantly com- plains to friends: “I can’t get good men to come into the government.” What he doesn’t realize is that few men ywant to_risk scandal con- tamination by serving with medio- crities; though many would come in if the President cleaned house, be- gan with a new slate. There isn't a chance in the world that he’ll appoint them, but here is a rollcall of a clean-up cabinet which some of Truman's friends prepared the other night while play- |ing the game of “if I were Presi- dent:” Par special prosecutor—Wily, dra- atic ex-Sen. Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, once one of the Sen- ate’s greatest prosecutors. Assistant Attorney General for the tax division—Adrian De Wind, able chief counsel of the King com- mittee. Alien Property Custodian—Gen. Telford Taylor, the small-business administrator; or Joseph Borkin, the ex-Justice Department’s trustbust- er. Both are intimately familiar with the giant Nazi business enter- prises now being administered by the Custodian. Secretary of the Treasury—Ran- dolph Paul, the brilliant former chief counsel of the Treasury. Commissioner of Internal Rev- enue—Maury Maverick or Leon Henderson, koth two-fisted crusad- ers with years of Washington know- how. Chief counsel of the Bureau of Internzl Revenue—Bruno Schach- ner, assistant counsel of the King committee. To create further confidence in the White House, Mr. Truman might substitu®e Paul Porter for Secretary Matt Connelly, who has no love for the graft probes. Barkley Opfimistic On Korea Cease Fire WASHINGTON, Dec. l'l—’!?’r—ViCe, President Barkley said today he is still hopeful and optimistic” that cease-fire can be arranged in Korea by Dec. 217. Barkley made the statement to newsmen after giving President Truman an hour long report at the White House on the recent far east! trip that took him to the front| lines in Korea. The Vice President said he found | “an atmosphere of optimism” by | the United Nations truce negotia- tors. He said this feeling is shared by the chief negotiator, Adm, C. The Vice President said he told | Mr. Truman he never saw an army better fed or better clothed than the U. S. Army in Korea. “They all have warm, thick, heavy ! clothing, and they have marvelous | | food—not less than two hot meals a day and three if possible.” says we mean well. e | Spare us that “friend,” who, in speaking of us, |Kotzebue Sitka Convention | Names Commiffees | And Delegates !
