Admiral Badger Back,
Stand
Against Macarthur
Would Limit Bombing
To Korean Bases, Would
Not Blockade Alone
By Cecil Hollond and
Crosby S. Moves

Vice Admiral Oscar C. Badger
today told Congress he would
limit bombing of Chinese Commu-
mist supply bases to Korea "for
the time being"
He also testified that any naval
blockade of the Chinese mainland
should be imposed by the United
Nations and not the United States
alone.
Admiral Badger testified as the
10th witness in the Senate inves-
tigation of the Macarthur con-
troversy and Far Eastern policy
Confident on Outcome.
His testimony largely supported
the administrations stand against
the Macarthur program of bomb
ing enemy bases in China and
Manchuria and "going it alone" If
necessary, in imposing a naval
blockade.
He expressed the opinion "wo
can lick" the Chinese Communists
in Korea and said he thought 1--WE
should not open ourselves to the
bombing of bases in China"
But I think" Admiral Badger
added, that if we do not get a
negotiable reaction from the Chi
Inese government pretty soon we
would have to do what we could
to destroy the sources of equip
ment, which, I think, is the ele-
lment of strength or weakness on
the part of the Chinese forces"
He explained, however. that he
referred to shipments made into
China from other areas and the
Communist supply line between
the Yalu River and the position of
the fighting troops and to bomb
ing of Manchurian bases.
Il would prefer to limit military
action to that area for the time
being" the admiral said.
Three More to Testify.
Admiral Badger testified as the
joint investigating committee
Armed Services and Foreign Rela-
tions-pushed toward a goal Of
winding up the inquiry within a
week or 10 days. Only three addi-
tional witnesses are scheduled to
testify after Admiral Badger.
In other testimony the admiral
said:
/. That Nationalist troops on
Formosa should be used to defend
the island itself rather than sup
plement the United Nations forces
in Korea.
2. That the Nationalists are not
strong enough to stage large
scale invasion of the Chinese
mainland, but could be used Gin a
very restricted fashion" in raids
to divert the flow of Communist
equipment.

fective" as a naval base. It's i'm
