Friday, April 13, 1951 PAGE' 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN v 'A,'' ' t . Jf i : t ' t Politics and Controversy sparked by President Truman's firing of General MacArthur as supreme U. S. commander fe, d Far East has broadened the scope of t. "Great Debate" and threatens to re sult in an adi-out policy war between parties. The argument tenerally h been split along party lines. Gnocrats are supporting the President's action while republicans angrily rise to MacAr thur's defense rallying the cause with cries of im peachment. In his television and radio address to the na tion Wednesday night, President Truman said he "considered it essential to relieve General Mac Arthur so that there would be no doubt or con fusion as to the real purpose and aim of our pol icy." Sound or not, the policy maintained by the ad ministration in the Far East was publically op posed to by the General. From a military stand point this is intolerable and a reprimand is neces sary. A policy must be followed and any mem ber of the team who wishes to change that policy should act through his direct superiors. As Professor Stanley R. Ross of the history de partment remarks in his letter on this page, "The real question lies in the realm of policy." The whenjie said, . "We do not want to see the conflict in Korea extended, we are trying to prevent a world war not to start one." This is the main plank of the administration policy toward Korea and the Far East. We may believe and hope we are right that Mr. Truman and his aides have set forth this idea in good faith and with honest hopes that it will succeed. It is evident the policy-planners feel MacArthur's plan would plunge us into a long and bloody war with red China and finally force us into conflict with Russia. With Chip on Shoulder... World-Shocking News Turns Griper to Praise of Students 1 n . n.iL a .1 Once upon a time there was a college girl who griped about so many things each week that peo ple began to think the "B" in her name stood for something else besides Beth. She harped on this and that. Nothing seemed quite to suit her. Late one night she was sitting cross-legged on her bed, griping about having to keep "hours," tearing A.W.S. rules apart, complaining about the dirty trick the weather had played on her picnic plans and running down the professors as she half-heartedly looked at the pictures in her text book. Then the blare from a radio commentator inter inpted her reverie. In a tense, unnatural voice, he announced Truman's removal of Gen. Douglas MacArthur from his commanding duties. (This being no political column, and the author being informed on libel and sedition laws, no fur ther comment on the topic will be made.) . s . . The next dayshe woke tip to a world of grip ing. The radios were griping and the newspapers were griping. The republicans were griping. The democrats were griping. The teachers were grip ing. The students were griping. There was enough griping to last for weeks. And suddenly the things about which this coed would have written seemed much too trivial, much too petty, to tripe about. So she decided that she ought to do something that she had never tried before! She decided that Instead of griping, she ought to gush! Instead Art Discussion Slated Sunday The second in a series of art gallery conversations will be held Sunday at 8:30 p.m. at Morrill halL The topic of the afternoon's dis cussion will be "Henry Moore and Graham Sutherland." Partici pants in the discussion will be of the Nebraska art galleries; aiean jarson, oi uie university art faculty, and Mrs. Peter Worth. The subject of the trio will be two artists' works which recently were acquired for the Frank M. Hall collection. Both Sutherland and Moore have produced internationally recognized works. Ia 1947, Moore was honored by the Art Institute . of Chicago which exhibited his sculptures. His products have also appeared at th Museum of Modern Art in New York and the San Francisco Museum of Art. Sutherland's religious art in cluding "Crucifixion" and Moore's "Madonna and Child" have been hailed by many critics as two of the most important examples in their particular field.

Aot of CoBcreM of Ootooor fMl Randolph at A.M-iT the Truman plan so far has been doubtful. Only recently have the United Nations troops been able to realize and hold the offen sive. It is also a question whether MacArthur's plan would be more successful. The General has been in the Orient since 1937 and he should be able to analyze the situation and dangers there better than almost anyone else. He feels the success of the communist plan for world domination depends on Asia and therefore the reds should be defeated in Asia. He feels the best plan to accomplish the defeat is to utilize Chiang Kai Shek's nationalist troops to invade the mainland of China. He also favors bombing strategic objectives in Manchuria and China. It is difficult for the American people to believe the senior five-star general and personal hero of millions would even suggest a war with red China if he did not honestly feel it would be the surest plan for the defeat of communist aggression. And so General McArthur will return to the United States to present his side of the case and the "Great Debate" will continue. The question of policy will still be the main issue and to be sure MacArthur's views will bear heavily on future action. The big threat now is that poli ticians will use this debate to further personal ambitions. It must be remembered that the purpose of this debate should not be to ascertain the polit ical party which will place its man in the White House come 1952. While politics are definitely involved, the primary objective of the "Great De bate" is to arrive at a foreign policy which will make America strong strong enough to with stand the onslaught of communism and make the world safe for democracy. j.w. of condemning the things that irked her, she ought to seek out those which pleased her! And she did. First she praised "Good News," Kosmet Klub's 1951 spring musical, which has the makings of a good show. She was glad that they had been able to convince authorities that a cast of both men and women would not corrupt students morals. Next she approved the restoration of dollies in the 1951-52 yell squad, just so breezy days don't detract from Bobby Reynold's spectacular runs. And the UNESCO session, successful as usual, could not go by without worthy mention. The student participation represented to her a spark of vitality and integrity, and the conference seemed somewhat of a nose-thumber to the people who persist in thinking about "those irresponsible, dis interested, scatter-brained college kids." She praised the workers and sponsors of College Days and even asked students not to throw the empties at the guests should they' be driving around campus and the weekend is convertible weather. Aaron Schmidt's proposal for election of under classmen officers and the Student Council's sup port of the method to promote school spirit got the "OK" on her list... And there were many other items on that list, too numerous to mention. Friends of the girl thought she was sick. Her column came out minus snide remarks. They looked at her strangely. But, well. . .How did I do? Coeds may have their spe cial permission slips signed by the following senior A.W.S. board members begin ning Monday, April 16. Mary Jane Barnell, 3420 Holdrege, 6-5046.

Palladian Gavel Annual Oratorical The twenty-fifth annual orator ical contest sponsored by the Pal ladian Gavel club is to be held at 8:30 p.m. Friday, April 13, in Room 301, Temple. Participating in this year's event will be Jack Miles, whose topic will be "The Kefauver In vestigation and It's Implications;" Merritt Cushing, speaking on "A Layman's Orientation to Psycho logy;" Alice Meyers, whose topic is "How Do You Talk About People?"; Jim Ellington, speak ing about "What Infinity Looks Like;" Jack Lange, whose topic is "The Origin of War;" and Arn Mac's Removal To the Editor, The replacement of General Douglas MacArthur must be viewed through the smoke of emotionalism and partisanship as an event of extraordinary impor tance. Such action does not reflect on the general's military and ad ministrative talents or achieve ments. The reason for the action may be read most clearly in the dispatches of the joint Chiefs of stan to tne general, in MacAr thur's differences with the grand strategy decided upon by the civilian-military advisers of the Executive, and in the fears and doubts of our allies. MacArthur's removal has raised questions of constitutionality and of policy. There is no question that the President operated with in his province as Commander-in- Chief of the armed forces, indeed, this action is a revindication of civilian control of the nation's policy so traditional in our de mocracy and so vital in these times when the military is assum ing a larger role. Legal grounds for impeachment being absent, Talk on that procedure must be filed under "politics" pure and simple. The real question lies in the realm of policy. That of the administration-and the one to which the nation is committed, consists of 'creating a condition of strength in the hope of averting world conflict, emphasis on the defense of Europe as a prime prerequisite for our security, and the localiza tion, if possible, of the Korean struggle. General MacArthur be lieves that war with communism has started in Asia and that the world issue will be decided there. He held a strikingly similar view about the paramount importance of operations during World War II. He favors' extending the war against the Chinese at the risk of general world war beginning in Asia. This policy is contrary to that of the administration and is opposed and feared by our allies. MacArthur is entitled to his views which are supported by vocal minority in Congress. Perhaps the American people would sup port that policy, but the true meaning and possible consequen ces should be clearly indicated. Those congressmen who claim to favor MacArthur's position can make it national policy by the simple, constitutional expedient of a joint resolution of Congress declaring war on the Chinese communists. No such proposal has been forthcoming to date. Stanley R.

Tom Ewell, as Willie, and David Wayne, as Joe, emerge as perhaps the greatest battlefield comedy duo in film history. The picture, as was the dook by Bill Mauldin, is a blending of the rank-and-file dogface and their dry humor and rough-hewn horseplay when the tension of battle eases.
