American Pilot Freed
After Five Months in
Chinese Red Detention
BY the Associused Press

HONG KONG, June 1.-Ameri-
can Pilot James Earthquake Nc
Coon McGovern, held in Commu-
mist China for almost five months,
was returned to Hong Kong yes
terday.
The 28-year- old Elizabeth, N. j.,
pilot said today that his Chinese
Communist captors went out of
their way to treat me good"
He crash-landed one of Claire
Chennault's CATS inside Red
China last December 5 on a flight
to Running.
There was one exception to the
good treatment, Mr.. McGovern
complained. When the Reds re-
leased him, they said the order
had come through two and one
half months before. They finally
gave up waiting for an interpreter
to accompany him.
Grinning out of a three-inch
reddish-brown beard, Mr.. McGov-
ern. former Air Force lieutenant,
said:
THE Chinese always treated me
as friend. They said. American
people are all our friends but the
American Government is no good
The American people will rise up
in the course of time and adopt
Communism"
Lost IS Pounds in Internment.
Mr.. McGovern said he lost rs
pounds during his internment and
now Is down to ITS.
But the food was good-ac-
cording to Chinese standards" he
grinned. II got the officers left
overs. When I complained that
1 couldn't eat rice because of a
bad tooth they brought me task
uno,' dish of eggs, flour and oil.
They apologized because they had
no money to buy bread
Mr.. McGovern said bad weather
forced him to land in Kwangtung
Province.
II told the local Communists we
were en- route from Indo-China
instead of Hong Kong thinking
they liked the French better than
the British but that didn't do any
good.
It thought they might chop
our heads off since they kept
telling us Chennault was war
criminal for supplying the Kuo-
mintang (Chinese Nationalists)
with arms to kill Chinese in
China

Defense Plan Is Likened to Football Team

But because of the necessity o.
keeping the Arsenal Of Democ- :
racy" going full blast. our efforts
to assist in air defense of our al
lies homelands likely would be at
first restricted. BY far the great
est part of the United States un-
dertaking in the collective effort
would be the furnishing of wea-
pons and supplies. A big response
bility would necessarily fall on the
Navy to keep the sea lanes open
and already that service has
shown increasing interest in that
job.
The key to success of the plan
is complete and continuous team
work." commented one high Pen
tagon official. There are now
guideposts in this undertaking. II
is just the mobilization of all our
forces for common defense with
the assignment to each member
nation what that member best
can do. We have in the organiza-
ton the manpower. the strategic
bases and the weapons for that
balanced force.
In getting at enemy armies in
order to destroy them, the great
est problem has always been to
establish Judgement area
which gives direct land access to
the enemy's main forces and gen.
orally to his homeland.
Such areas. he explained, have
been obtained in the past by am
phibious operations, but the de-
velopment of new weapons, par
ticularly the atomic bomb, makes
it doubtful that such type of op-
erations can be employed success
fully in the future. at least not
until the enemy's atomic weapons
have been neutralized.
The best way of establishing
the Judgement area is, of course
never to lose it," he concluded
obviously. the best way of ac
complishing this is to aid our al
lies in peacetime and in the early
stages of war, with what Mr..
Acheson has termed balanced COL
lective forces, so that they may
keep from being overrun."

utmost Importance. the atomic
bomb with the planes to deliver it
over the target. Canada, it is
estimated. probably will put into
the overall effort around per cent
of the United States contribution
in the munitions field.
Key Role for U. s. Bombers.
In order to check an enemy's
initial offensive-siow down his
advance and destroy some Of the
advantage gained by surprise at
tack-the Pact nations would
make immediate use of the United
States long-range bombing abili-
ties. This country's Air Force,
with its atom bomb B-29s and
even longer range B-36s, would
carry the main weight in this field
with substantial help from the
Navy whose smaller carrier-based
aircraft could take off from their
bases closer to enemy targets.
The two main missions of the
air offensive-called strategic be-
cause of the nature of the targets
it is aimed at and because of
the distant location of most of
these targets from friendly ter
rltory-are reduction of the en-
emy's war-making ability and
checking his attacking ground
forces. The first mission would
be accomplished by bombing
enemy industrial plants, stocks of
critical materials such as gaso-
line and his transportation sys-
tenn by which supplies are dis
tributed throughout his country
and to his armed forces. The
second mission would be accom-
plished by bombing the key points
of the rail and highway network
which the advancing enemy
armies would be using; Destroy
ing tunnels. bridges and other
critical facilities which would re-
quire considerable time to repair.
The air offensive would slow
down advancing enemy ground
troops and give our pact allies
in the path of the enemy ad-
vance-a chance to deploy their
forces and to mobilize additional
units. The United States also
would provide ground forces to
help check enemy land advances
but the number of such troops
necessarily would be limited in the
early months of a war. In addi-
ton some t1ghter-b -bombers of the
Air Force and fighters from Navy
carriers might be thrown into the
fight.

The North Atlantic pact's bal
anced collective forces" plan was
likened by high defense officials
today to a well-rounded football
team with each player contribut-
ing to the overall group effort in
proportion to his ability.
They said that Secretary of
State Acheson used the term de
liberately and that it meant that
the II nations forces would be
balanced % from the standpoint
of kinds of military strength in
volved, and (2) from the stand
point of contributions to be made
by the countries involved.
Stated in simplest terms, the
plan means the grouping together
of a number of allies in advance
of an attack with one overall stra-
tegic defense plan and a minimum
wastage of funds and effort
through at least partial elimina-
ton of members attempts to pro-
vide their own balanced defenses
singly. For generations each OF
the member nations has striven to
keep its own forces in balance to
meet attacks from the ground, sea
and, in recent years. from the air
Little Loss of Sovereignty.
Now there will be a pooling o1
effort. But this system does not
mean loss of sovereignty to any
appreciable extent.
In this overall strategic plan
several of the nations cannot be
counted on for much more thar
geographical help-bases, lanc
passes and ports which would be
of primary Importance in event
OF war. For instance, although
Italy also can be counted on fol
land forces, it may we'll be that
the passes through the Italian
Alps may prove a turning point
in a war. And the principal con-
tributions of Norway and Portu-
gal also likely will be largely ge-
ographical.
Frances main contribution to
this balanced collective force will
be ground troops-perhaps as
much has one-third at the start OF
any hostilities, while the United
Kingdom is counted on for sea
power and fighter aircraft.
The United States is likely tx
contribute more than so per cent

ships, ammunition and, of the

an passenger with a child was
allowed to rejoin her Chinese
husband in Canton.

I was held except that I had
broken international law by land

When I asked them when I
would be released they always

Mr.. McGovern said Chinese
officer told him about two weeks
ago he would be released.
He travelled by truck and river
boat to Canton and armed guards
brought him to the Hong Kong

this would happen" Mr. Nc

she learned her son had been

she had not heard anything lately
from the Civil Air Transport.
L hope he'll come home now,"
Mrs. McGovern added.
Mr., McGovern was a combat
ace with the 14th Air Force in
China during World War II, Serv-
ing with the Flying Tigers under
Gen. Chennault.
He was credited with shooting
down four Jap planes, damaging
five and probably destroying one
on the ground in nine missions.
