Is Renagacle Siill
Alive In Russia?
Subhash Chandra Bose
By Harold K. Milks
NEW DELHI—One of India’s
most popular figures today is a
man supposedly dead for more
than six years. |
He is Subhash Chandra Bose,
the revolutionary who fought Brit- !
ish rule of India for many years
and then led a Japanese-sponsored
Indian National Army against this
country during World War II.
Bose reportedly died Aug. 16,
1945—one day after Japan’s sur
render—in the crash of a Japanese
plane against the Taihoku Hills
of Formosa.
Yet to millions of Indians he
is as much alive today as is Prime
Minister Pandit Nehru and Presi
dent Rajendra Prasad.
This is especially true in the
villages of Bengal where Subhash
Chandra Bose was revered al
most as a saint. There, mention of
his name brings cries of “Netaji”—
“Our Leader.”
“There is no doubt,” said one
prominent Indian leader, “that if
Bose should reappear today he
would challenge Pandit Nehru as
a National leader.”
Traitor to the Allies
To a foreigner the popularity of i
the supposedly dead Bose is hard
to understand. He led the only
army to* invade India in modem
times, built by the Japanese from
British Indian forces captured in
the fall of Singapore and else
where in East Asia.

Vandenberg Diary
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Harold E.
Stassen asked Senate investigators
Saturday to subpoena the diary
of the late Senator Vandenberg
(R-Mich) to corroborate “the es
sential facts” of his earlier testi
mony about a 1949 White House
conference on China aid.
Stassen testified he had been
told by Arthur Vandenberg, Jr.,
the late senator’s son, that “the
essential facts I testified to could
be corroborated” from the diary
and other documents kept by the
senior Vandenberg.
In testimony before the Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee
last Monday, Stassen quoted Van
denberg as telling him in Novem
ber, 1950, that Secretary of State
Acheson and Ambassador-at-Large
Philip C. Jessup had proposed at
the White House meeting that fur
ther military aid to the Chinese
Nationalist forces be cut off.
Today, however, Stassen did not
list the names of the authors of
the proposal as one of the “essen
tial facts”. Today’s testimony, like
Stassen’s earlier appearance, came
in the subcommittee’s inquiry into
any subversive influences on U.S.
policies in the Par East.
The State Department has
agreed that such a conference was
held on Feb. 5, 1949, that it was
called to consider such a proposal
from the U.S. military representa
tive in China and that President
Truman turned it down after Con
gressional leaders objected.
In its statement on Stassen’s
earlier testimony, the State De
partment said that Jessup was
not present at the conference. It
did not say what position Acheson
took on the matter.
