Following is the copyrighted
tert OF questions addressed to
Gen. Douglas Macarthur by
editors OF United States NeDS
and World Report magazine,
together t0ith the generals
GnSDerS:
@. Were there any warnings
from the U. N. or otherwise about
the dangers Of a winter offensive?
A. There were no warnings, nor
were any warnings necessary. A
winter offensive is as hard on
enemy as upon friendly forces. To
have assumed defensive positions
awaiting spring would not have
avoided the rigors of the climate,
for to hold these positions would
require constant fighting during
the winter months and it would
have given the enemy an oppor-
tunity to mass his forces for a
demolishing attack-with every
assurance that he would jump of
just as soon as a satisfactory mill
tary balance had been achieved,
without waiting for the advent of
spring.
@. Was there adequate knowl-
edge of Chinese strength?
A. When the line of battle
moved northward following the
Inchon landing. the area of pos
sible detection and interdiction of
enemy movements contracted un-
til there was left but a nights
march from the border sanctuary
for Chinese Communist forces to
the area of hostilities. This pro-
vided means for Chinese Com
munist authorities to move troops
forward under cover of darkness
and rugged terrain with little pos
sibility of detection short of as
sault tactics with resulting unit
identifications from prisoner of
war interrogations. Air recon-
naissance across the border is
prohibited.
@. In planning large operations,
is Washington, as well as the u.
NJ. kept advised in advance or is
this planning entirely the re-
sponsibility of area commanders?
A. Major operations are all re-
ported and approved prior to be-
ing launched.
@. Did you expect winter offen-
sive to be lengthy or a pushover?
A. We had hoped that the
offensive launched on October 20
would prove decisive action. Had
there been but an outer crust of
enemy force in front of our lines
the enveloping pressure from east
and west would have effected its
destruction. Had we failed to
assault and uncover enemy
strength and intentions the
opportunity secretly to build up
from available resources of all
China would inevitably encompass
our QcSGTuCClOQ.
@. Was this estimate based on
the belief that Chinese strength
was not more than 10000?
A. The tactical course taken
was the only one which the situa-
ton permitted.
@: Would you describe the
present situation as critical and
serious, but not hopeless?
A. Yes. definitely, unless one
completely discounts the combined
resources of the free nations
engaged in the Korean conflict.
@. Are the Chinese supply lines
vulnerable to air attack?
A. Within Manchuria, the
Chinese supply lines are protected
from our air attack. South of the
border for many miles along the
river line. they can enter trails
leading up through rugged ter
rain. Under the worst conditions,
troops and supplies could be
moved forward under cover of
night with little possibility of air

Cotton Mechunizution
SOUGHT by Is Stutes

JACKSON, Miss.-Fifteen States
In the cotton belt are cooperating
with the Agriculture Department
in an effort to obtain complete
mechanization of cotton produc-
ton from seedbed preparation
through storing and ginning.
Studies show that it takes 155
man hours to produce q bale of
cotton with one-row, mule drawn
equipment and hand chopping and
picking. With tractor drawn
equipment and a mechanical har-
vester the man hours are reduced
to As, and by also using the rotary
hoe and flame cultivator the time
Is further cut to 80 hours.

Text of Macarthur Queries

detection, an essential to air in
terdiction.
@. Are the limitations which
prevent unlimited pursuit OF
Chinese large forces and unlimited
attack on their bases regarded
by you as handicap to effective
military operations?
A. An enormous handicap
without precedent in military his.
tory.
@. Are there any signs of Rus
sian divisions being nobilized or
their border?
A. No detection of such mobili.
zation.
@. What accounts for the fact
that an enemy without air power
can make effective progress
against forces possessing consid-
cradle air power?
A. The limitations aforemen-
toned, plus the type of maneuvel
which renders air support o1
ground operations extremely diff
f1cult and the curtailment of the
strategic potentiality Of the all
because of the sanctuary of neu-
trality Immediately behind the
battle area.
@. Is there significant lesson
| in this for United States plan
ming?
A. Yes.
@. Nine out of 10 persons on
the street here and throughout
the country are asking why the
atom bomb is not being used. Can
anything be said as to the effec-
tiveness or ineffectiveness of the
bomb in the type of operations
in which you are now engaged?
A. My comment would be inap-
propriate at this time.
@. In the type of warfare now
going on in Korea. are there large
enough concentrations of enemy
troops in any one area to make
bomb effective, assuming all other
objections to its use had been
removed?
A. Same as preceding question: }
@. Public information here is
that Chinese troops became visible
October 10. but there is no official
recognition here of the fact. Was
official information concerning
the buildup of Chinese troops
transmitted here and to the U. N
during October?
A. Daily intelligence reports were
submitted to Washington.
@. The argument is being ad-
vanced here that war with China
could be carried on by sea and
air only and by giving moral and
material support to Chinese guer-
Irillas. Do you believe that such a
war could be carried on success
fully without substantial use OF
U. N. troops?
A. Modern warfare requires a
combination and complete co-ordi-
nation Of all three arms. I would
not care to discuss the potentiali-
ties with respect to any particular
area.

by group Of teen-age youngsters.
Santa, dressed in a red suit and
riding in a red jeep. was the chief
feature Of pre- Christmas parade

But about 40 youngsters of about

One Of Americas most gifted
composers. Robert Ward. came to
Dumbarton Oaks last night TO
conduct his own Third Sym
phony" for chamber orchestra
The work was written for the
Friends Of Music at Dumbarton
Oaks and for this particular con-
cert of the private series the,
sponsor. 1t formed the center OF
a program which listed further
Benjamin Britten's "Slnfonietta

Symphony in e Major. op. g.
The music was played by a small
orchestral group with William
Strickland directing the perform
ance of the Britten and Schoen-
berg works.
Among the younger of the con-
temporary composers. Mr.. Ward
stands out for a natural suavity III
style. for imaginative concept and
for a vitality that never slackens.
These were present in the work
given its first performance last
night. It is in three movements
entitled Adagio- Allegro. Arioso
and Rondo. In each, originality
of idea is coupled to originality OF
expression to a degree that reached
a notably high plane in several
instances. The opening slow Sec
ton is impressive for its intensity
and the skillful manner in which
it is merged with a gayer mood
Only here, in the Allegro. does his
writing become somewhat diffuse
and less sure in its aim.
The apex of the Symphony" is
the lovely Arioso. a most memor-
able treatment of a beautiful
theme. It is set forth first by the
oboe and carried on by the piano
before being partitioned between
other instruments. The evocation
Of mood is through the tonal color
thus evoked, in the long, grace
fully bending phrases and the un-
usual harmonic effects. The Rondo
