No Japanese
 In Korea Says
 5ety. Defense
Marshall Feared Use of Jap Troops Might Bring Rus-
 sia Into Korean War

WASHINGTON. May 9 - R - Secretary Marshall said today nc Japanese are serving with United Nations troops in Korea largely be- cause a Chinese-Russia Defense Pact is aimed at Japan.
 He implied the fear was that us ing Japanese against the Chinese Communists might bring the Rus sians into the Korean war.
 The defense secretary was in the witness chair for the third day on the inquiry into the custer of Gen Macarthur as Far Eastern com mander and policy differences back of his removal
 Senator Byrd (D-Va) brought up the question of the Japanese. For months past. some lawmakers have been contending that Japanese vol unteers ought to be permitted to serve with the LIN forces.
 Report Japs Willing
 There have been reports many Japanese were willing, some Of them highly trained pilots and other mii- itary specialists.
 Noting that the Sino-Russian pact is directed at any resumption oi Japanese aggression, Marshall testl- fled:
 "The fact that the pact directly referred to the Japanese -- possible intervention on the mainland ol Asia-I know controlled the action ol this government in not using any Japanese whatsoever in Korea. Be yond that Senator, I think l will have to pass it up to the State De- pertinent"
 Secretary of State Dean Acheson is to be a witness later and Mar shall meant the senators should ask Acheson about that.
 Senator Wiley (R-Wis) asked Marshall if, during his mission to China in 1945-46, he ever consulted Gen. Macarthur about the forma- ton of what was to be or what re- suited in our China policy9" Special Representative Marshall went to China at that time as a special representative o1 President Truman. His mission was to try to bring an end to the ciyi strife in China between Chiang Kali Shek's Nationalist government anc the Chinese Communists.
 Marshall told Wiley there was Inc formal consultation" but that he saw Macarthur in March, 1946, anc would assume that he made somS comment to the Far Eastern com mander about the China situation. Wiley said what he got iron Marshalls answer was that ito you knowledge, this man, who has hae that vast experience in the Phili' pines, who had fought his way up and lived off and on 25 years ou there, was not consulted by those il government who were planning th' policy in the East, am l right?' Marshall: T couldn't answer tha specifically. Senator. because thinl there were consultations with in !, dividuals sent out by the State De pertinent, but they can answer tha directly
