Chenault Removed
By Military Motive
Patterson State.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-R-
Undersecretary of War Patterson
was reported to have told Sena-
tors today that purely military mo-
tives dictated command changes IN
China that preceded the retirement
of Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault.
Chennault announced his retire
ment when the 18th Airforce which
he headed was grouped with the
10th Airforce under the command
of 1t. Gen. George c. Stratemeyer
in the Southeast Asia theater.
Patterson testified at closed
session of the Senate Military COM
mittee. Senators said he was asked
about reports that Chennault-as
one Senator put twas leased
out" because of opposition from
Chinese Communist quarters. Chen
nault has been close friend of
Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek.
Patterson was said to have de-
MED this specifically, replying that
Chennault was superseded in COM
mand by Stratemeyer for purely
military reasons. He said the de-
cision to elevate Stratemeyer to
command of the two Air forces,
including about 100000 men, was
made in the field by 1t. Gen. AL
bert c. Wedemeyer, theater COM
mander, and approved in Washing
ton.
