ORDERS ARE STRICT ON
 WAR MOVE
Marshall Gives More h. formation on ConduCt
 in Korean Fighting

WASHINGTON. May R Secretary of Defense Marshall testi- fled today that LIN troops in Korea are barred from approaching within Is miles of the Russian border.
 In his second day of testimony on the custer of Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur. Marshall said also that Macarthur had been ordered to confine his operations to Korea and under no circumstances to carry out operations beyond the border of Korea into Manchuria."
 There is every indication these orders have not been changed and still restrict the operations of It. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, MacAr- thurs successor as Pacific com- mander.
 Bombing Retaliation
 However, Marshall said there was modification in the restrictions "in the event that our forces were attacked outside of Korea--to the effect that he (MacArthur) was au- thorized to retaliate in bombing against such operations" Marshall, who like MacArthur is five-star general, testified before the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees. They are making a general inquiry into MacArthur's dismissal from his Far Eastern commands and the policy differences which led to it.
 The caution against giving the Russians any reason to raise ques- tions about operation near their border was touched on earlier in the hearings
 Border Restrictions Macarthur, in the witness char last week, complained he was never allowed to bomb North Korean supply center because of it's proxi- mity to the Russian border.
 This was the town of Rashin (Na- in on some maps) in northeast Korea. Most of Korea borders on Manchuria, but an area in the northeast joins Russian border.
 Marshall said Macarthur was cautioned against having units within. I think it was. about Is miles | of the border in northeast Korea where it touched the perimeter ol Siberia, the Soviet government.
 Manchurian Coast Protected
 He added:
 "The restrictions did not apply to operations by the Navy on the water along off the coast of Korea, Due those were restricted. in other words. forbidden, in relation to the Man churian coast, the China coast, anu most specifically the northeastern tip of Korea in close proximity to the Soviet border"
 Senator Russell tD-Ga) chairman of the joint committee, asked whe- ther the restrictions originated witn the Joint Chiefs of Staff or with the United Nations.
 Restrictions Discussed
 Marshall said the restrictions grew out of the views of the Cnieis of Staff and were discussed in the National Security Council.
 He said those taking part in the discussions as members of the coun- cil were President Truman, Vice President Barkley, Secretary oi State Acheson, w. Stuart Syming- ton, then chairman of the National Security Resources board and him. self as secretary of defense. There was an intermingling there of political necessities along with military directions Marshall said.
