Acheson Denies Taft Change.
Senator Sparkman-. Mr.
Secretary. over the radio last night
I heard-I did not read this in the
paper. I did not see it in the
morning paper but I heard-that
Senator Taft on yesterday in a
press interview said that you had
shown by your testimony think
I am quoting correctly as I heard
over the radio-a willingness to
surrender Korea and Formosa to
the Communists.
Have you said anything here
from which any such inference
could fairly be drawn?
Secretary Acheson Il don't
think so, sir.
Senator Sparkman-That is not
your belief, is it?
Secretary Acheson-No.
Senator Sparkman-Is that the
belief of the Department of State
or the administration?
Secretary Acheson-No, sir.
Senator Sparkman And you
adhere to the statement that you
have made here repeatedly over
and over that we shall do every
thing that we can to prevent
Formosa falling into the hands of
the Red Communists or of any
group that would be hostile to us?
Secretary Acheson Il have
stated that so many times.
Senator Sparkman And the
same thing is true with reference
to Korea?
Secretary AcheSon-Yes sir.

in declaring the Red Chinese tx
be an aggressor in Korea. and We
branded it as an aggressor.
Now, you have stated, as the
objective, our objective in Korea
lis to punish the aggressor.
! will scratch that out.
Our objective is to stop the ag.
lgression and to get peace in Ko-
lrea: but has our Government, al
any time. considered any peace
terms with the Red Chinese or
in stopping the aggressor. consid-
cred the terms Of the United Ma
tions resolution, which included
the words punish the aggressor?'
Secretary Acheson-Yes, sir, il
has.
Senator Saltonstall-And it has
the distinct suggestions as to what
to do to punish the aggressor?
Secretary Acheson-Well, it is
doing that now. We are Furnishing
the aggreSsor now. -.
Senator Saltonstall- We
have had considerable attention
in these hearings drawn to the
matter of the United States policy
toward Formosa, and the Ma
tionalist and Communist policy
toward Formosa.
Has our State Department OF
our Government taken any steps
to get the opinions and the judg-
ments Of Formosans as to what
they want?
Secretary Acheson-No, sir.
Senator Saltonstall-In other
words. you do not-our feeling is
that 7 million people of Formosa
will necessarily either be part of
Red China or a part of Nationalist
China or under the United Ma
tions; but what they would like
to do themselves has not really
been given much thought, is that
correct?
Secretary Acheson-No, that is
not what you asked me before.
/. In opening my speech to the
United Nations last September,
I think I mentioned the various
factors which ought to be taken
into account when the discussion
on Formosa in the future took
place; they are in that speech,

ton. These views were later given
orally by the Chief Of Staff for
the Army to the Joint Chiefs of
staff.
His basic position was that the
United Nations should not fall
to accept the new challenge of
Communist Chinese aggression
and that the full power of the
United Nations should be mounted
at once. If reinforcements could
arrive in time the most advanta-
geous action would be with
drawal in successive positions, I'll
necessary, to the Pusan area,
otherwise the command should be
evacuated.
Then. there is in paragraph 10i
a long report by Gen. Collins inI
which he gives the view of the
commander-in-chief Far East; and
that if all or major part of the
"above limitations were placed onI
his command. while it remained
under strong Chinese Communist
attack, this, in itself, would rep
resent essentially a surrender.
Under these conditions the Ques-
tion Of an arnistice would be al
political matter, helpful but not
essential from a military stand
point. Our forces would have to
be withdrawn from Korea but weI
should not be precipitate in seek
ing an armistice," and so on. i
That led to discussions betweenI
the Secretary of Defense and
Chiefs of Staff and myself during
the latter part of December.
Marshall Drafted Message.
On the 9th of December, Gen.
Marshall sent me proposed draft
of a directive, a memorandum
That was discussed with me, and
on that evening. December 9th,
it was discussed with the President
and Gen. Bradley and Gen.
Marshall.
Then, on the 28th, there was
meeting between Gen. Marshall,
Gen. Bradley and Mr.. Rusk on
the directive, and again on the
29th at 8 am. by Mr.. Rusk and
Gen. Bradley; and the directive
was finally sent out as you have
it in your files. |
Senator Cain Mr.. Secre-
tary. it has been said by some that
the State Department had told
representatives of the jos or the
jos themselves that the evacua-
ton of Korea, which was discussed
in the December 20, 1850 message,
was to be arranged in such a wayl
as to make it appear to be not a
voluntary evacuation but forced
evacuation. Is there any validity
in that rumor, sir?
Secretary Acheson-No, that is
totally false, Senator.
Senator Cain. It has been
said by some, sir, that represen-
tatives of the State Department.
told representatives of the JCSI
or the jos themselves that the
purpose of this was to enable the
State Department to go to the
United Nations and tell the United
Nations what had happened in
order to justify further steps
which might be taken as against
the Chinese Communists. Is there
any validity in this statement, sir?
Secretary Acheson-No, that is
quite untrue. ..

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The
Boxing Clubs prof

Ray Robinson-R Randy Turpin mid
Idleweight title fight never have
been announced. But whatever
the amount they are $1,000 less
today than IBC officials figured.
A $4,000 fine slapped on the club
by the State Athletic Commission
for padding ringside rows reduced
the promoters take.
The penalty assessed yesterday
was the maximum permitted by
law, short of suspension or loss
of license. and was the heaviest
ever handed out by the commits
sion.
Chairman Eddie Eagan said the
IBC violated the commission rules
by both lettering and numbering
four rows of ringside seats. The
rules call for the rows to be num-
bered
AS the result of the setup a
ticket holder, with seat listed
for Row IL. actually wound up in

Harry Markson, manager direc-

four rows totaled about 1000 seats
which sold for $50 each. That
amounted to $4,000.
