NATIONAL WINS CLOSE ONE
It seemed as though the A.
merican leaguers would have
won the All-Star contest again
this year but Old Man Shotton
pulled this one out of the fire.
The Brooklyn manager, who
bossed the Nationals, deserved
to win after the fans jumped on
his back for not wanting to play
Sauer in centerfield. This factor
of naming the first three vote
getters as starters, regardless of
position, is a definite handicap
to the pilots.

SlOw-Moving Chinese

Another of General Willoughbys
reports at about the same time,
states: "Those well-versed in Chin
ese military operations stress an
inherent lack of elasticity in plan
ming and similar inelasticity in
staff and command structure. Such
deficiencies can only result in ster-
eotyped campaigns, and hold Of
fensive action to slow succession
of limited detectives.
"It follows then" continued Gen
eral Willoughby, that CCF high
command, being unable to predict
degree of success for his initial
offensive of November %, was COLI
fronted by the problem of immed-
lately realigning his forces for the
continuation of the offensive; or of
continuing to detectives according
| to their set schedule
This is interpreted in the Army
Department as meaning that the
Chinese were slowmoving, had only
limited detectives, and never ex-
| pected to run us out of North
Korea so quickly
Though it isn't admitted, and
may even be denied, these reports
have increased Pentagon concern.
Received after the worst retreat
in modern military history, the
Willoughby reports constitute a
strange confession of the weakness
of the Chinese armies.
If his intelligence is correct,
Chinese manpower did not total
anywhere near a million men, nor
even near 100000 men, but only
235, 900 plus 10000 North Koreans.
In addition, the Chinese according
to Willoughby, lacked fire-power,
air strength, artillery, could not
travel with any speed, while their
high command, being "stereotyped'
could not regroup easily to take
advantage of the UN retreat.
These are some of the facts
which don't show up in the press
dispatches from Tokyo. The ines
capable conclusion is that either
Willoughby is wrong or the Mac
Arthur press communicates have
been deceiving the American pub
liz

sian sub-machine gun per man
and 300 North Korean army stray
glers crossed Taedong."
In other words, each Chinese
soldier had no more than three
hand grenades and a rifle or sub
machine gun. This is extremely
light fire-power for an attacking
army. but it has been about the
average Chinese armament. Chinese
troops have had no means of carry
ing ammunition other than OK OF
mule carts, and each man goes into
battle with most of his ammunition
on him, plus his rice for the next
few days.
Another of Willoughby's intelli-
gence cables to Washington about
mid-December is interesting: Lack
of CCF on 9th Army front. Due to
deep withdrawal executed by 9th
Army, it is evident that enemy,
lacking any great degree 81 mobif-
ity, has beer- unable to regain con-
tact"
This is interpreted in the Penta-
gon as saying that the Chinese
lacking any means of transporta-
ton, were unable to keep up with
the fast retreat of the 9th Army.
In other words, we failed to keep
contact with the enemy, one of the
fundamental rules of military STRAIT
egY.

Opposite Reports

However, this was not what his
intelligence chief was meanwhile
cabling the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
On Dec. 6. just two days after Mac
Arthur had announced his million
man Chinese army estimate, Gener-
al Willoughby cabled as follows
Units believed to ne on Eighth
Army front are, west to east. Ele-
ments 50th CCF (Chinese CON-
munist Field army, elements 66th
Chinese CCF army; both CCF
army; 40th CCF army; 38th CCF
army; And CCF army"
If all these six Chinese armies
were of full strength with no cas-
which is doubtful-the to-
tai Chinese force which sent the
UN 9Th Army into 120-mile re-
treat in less than two weeks was
only $4,000 men.
Yet the UN 9th Army had more
than 100000 front-ljne combat
troops, not counting engineers and
service troops behind the lines.
Thus it does not appear that the
hordes of Chinese which MacAr-
thur claimed, actually are facing
us, General Willoughby. OF course
could be wrong, and this is one rea-
son why the Army Department in
Washington is puzzled.
Since his early-December esti-
mate. General Willoughby has in
creased his figures on Chinese over
all strength. But even the revised
figures do not materially change
the picture. He now estimates that
the total Chinese strength in Korea
facing not only the 9Th Army, but
previously facing the 10th Corps
around the Hungnam beachhead is
285,000 plus 10000 North Koreans
The size of the UN forces is q
military secret, but it can be stat
ed that they are somewhat more
than the Chinese strength.
1t is supposed to require a man.
power superiority of 3 to / tc
launch a successful offensive. Fur
thermore, it is an indisputable fact
that we have complete control OF
the air while the Chinese have al
tured from us. Thus, even assum-
ing the Willoughby estimates are
considerably off. the Pentagon is
puzzled over our precipitious 100
mile retreat. The immediate re-
treat is, of course, explained by the
fact that we were spread too thin,
but not the continued l20-mile re-
treat.
