Attorney Judson Ruch of York,
Pa, 1t. Gilbert's home city, told
a press conference at the National
Association for Advancement of
Colored People that these legal
points were made before the
council in Gilbert's behalf:
/. The court martial lacked
authority to convict 1t. Gilbert
under Article rs, dealing with mis-
behavior before the enemy, for the
reason the article applies only in
time of war. Congress, it was
contended, suspended this and
other war measures in 1947.
The Army holds 1t. Gilbert's
alleged offense on July 81 occurred
after an executive order restored
wartime penalties.
Judged irresponsible.
2. A report submitted by three
Army physicians, including a
psychiatrist, held he was mentally
irresponsible at the time, being so
"emotionally disturbed (anxiety,
reactive, acute. severe) as to be
unable to adhere to the right"
The report had said, however,
that 1t. Gilbert was liable to dis
tinguish right from wrong"
8. 1t. Gilbert did not receive
fair trail, and should get a new
one in another Jurisdiction be-
cause the field trial, according to
the attorney, was conducted within
200 yards of the fighting front
and objective consideration was
almost impossible under the cir
cumStances.
1t was contended 1t. Gilbert
was not adequately defended, did
not take the stand in his own be-
half, and was tried by a board
consisting exclusively of white of
flcers, although he was a member
of the all-Negro Oath Infantry
Regiment.
Mr.. Ruch told the conference.

u. 5. Must Split China,
Russia, Wallace Says
BY the Assoeioted Press

| Henry Wallace said yesterday
that the United States must try
to drive wedge between Russian
and Communist China" In the
hope of avoiding World War III.
The former Vice President said
he thought this might be done by
a United States appeal to the
Chinese people "to bring their
leaders to their senses"
Mr.. Wallace at first refused to
comment on the world crisis be-
cause 1.-The times are too serious"
Reconsidering. however. he said
in an interview that the Chinese
people must be made to realize
that their leaders are taking
them into world conflict.
THE Chinese leaders must be
made to recognize that Russia s
hope in the present conflict is to
weaken both the United States
and China" Mr.. Wallace said.
He said he feels that the his
toric enmity between Russia and
China can be used to good ad-
vantage in a United States ap-
peal.
ut is my hope that we can set
fire under the Chinese LEADER, !"
he added, ''by this method we
can hope to maintain peace"

inspecting agents showing what
type of cargo is carried and what
the destination may be. Thus it
can be determined readily
whether the foreign-made goods
being shipped through United
States ports are in the strategic
classification.
Particularly, an OFT official
said, the new controls will help
to halt shipments of such things
as steel and rubber products, pc
troleum, and machinery which are
shipped from abroad and destined
for Communist areas.
Raymond c. Miller, director of
the OFT, said in a statement: ::
Regardless of any rumor or
belief to the contrary. since the
invasion of the Republic of Korea
in June, no shipments Of commo-
dities agreed upon as having

permitted to move from the

The Maryland Senator told the

sheets are aboard the S. S. Igadi,

Senator Hunt. Democrat, of

would speedily give Gen. Mac

Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat,

Macarthur be given full authority
to meet the Communist attack
head-on and at any point with
all the weapons in the arsenal of
democracy"
Senator Malone, Republican, of
Nevada, frequent critic of United
States policies in the Far East,
agreed that Gen. Macarthur
should be given full authority to
move against Communist forces
in Manchuria.
II think Gen. Macarthur is
right. There has been an unde-
clared war between us and the
North Koreans since we first went
into South Korea. I don't think
this is anything new or a new
war, it's just an extension of the
first with more people added to
it."
Senator Capehart, Republican,

BY the Assoeidfsd Press

TOKYO, Dec. 8.-Gen. Mac.
Arthur declared today the Chinese
Communists have committed 500.-
900 soldiers to an undeclared war
on the United Nations forces in
Korea.
In addition, he said, 100000 to
100000 North Korean Red rem
nants are being rebuilt and re-
organized under Chinese auspices.
The statement by the command
ing general Of the first United
Nations force was issued as a gem
eral press release with the nota-
ton that 1t was in answer to
questions submitted by various
newsmen.
Gen. Macarthur said the half
million Chinese were in two great
echelons." more than one half Of
the total now being engaged in
attacking the Allied forces with
the rear echelon rapidly moving
up from the Yalu River bases"
With the North Koreans, he
said, the total enemy strength is
about 100000 men,"
Whether additional forces will
be brought up cannot as yet be
determined" he added.
"MOdern Ground Force"
The general refused to give an
estimate Of Allied ground forces.
but previous unofficial estimates
have run about 100000, approx
mately half of which are South
Koreans.
Gen. Macarthur stated the
enemy forces were thoroughly
equipped with modern and ef-
ficient weapons" and composed "a
modern ground force in every
sense Of the term and capable of
comparison with that Of any other
nation"
Air and naval superiority were
described as furnishing "invalu-
able assistance" to the Allies, but
Gen. Macarthur reiterated that
limitation of their operations to
Korea narrowly limited" their
effectiveness.
The United Nations reverses he
attributed entirely to the over
whelming strength Of the enemy,
who completely outnumbers us on
the ground"
Aid Assured in Advance.
Gen. Macarthur asserted he
knew of no way this could have
been avoided, as 1t was now evi-
dent that the North Korean Reds
were assured Of just such Chinese
Red support before they invaded
South Korea June rs.
"Conjectures that, had the
United Nations modified its mis-
sion Of liberatinr and unifying
Korea and stopped its campaign
at some incidental phase, the
entry of the Chinese Communists
into the war could have been
avoided, nnd no support in ac-
