troops stationed in the country. An ar mada of 20 warships, including the aircraft carriers Yorktown and Ranger, has been positioned in the Sea of Japan off North Korea. And last week, after a hurried trip to Seoul by Special Presidential Envoy Cyrus Vance, it became clear that South Korea is about to be shored up further with some of America's most advanced conventional weapons...

Vance, after all, had just pacified another of our finicky Asian allies--at what must have seemed bargain price: 100 million dollars in additional Korean aid.

For more than half a century-first as negotiator for the Boston El., later as U.S. Rubber Co.'s labor troubleshooter, and from 1947 to 1952 as the Government's top peacemaker-the hulking (6 ft. 7 in.), Canadian-born lawyer ironed out countless labor spats with such dogged patience that even John L.
