Macarthur Insists His Plan Bomb Chinese Would Lessen Risk

Morse he would impose a blockade
of the entire China coast, includ-
ing the Russian naval base at Port
Arthur. He added this would
cut off the supply line from Rus
sia to China but did not believe
"the small incident" would ma
terially affect the great decision
that would be involved in bring
ing Russia into a global war.
8. Gen. Macarthur said the
loss of Southeastern Asia to Com
munism would "jeopardize the
security of the United States" and
would insure "the ultimate con-
quest Of Europe by the Soviet"
Quizzed on Mutual Aid Treaty.
4. The dismissed commander
thought the presence of some
American forces in the Far East
would lessen the chances of the
Russians moving against the
AleutianS and Alaska if they de-
cided not to go into Korea.
S. Gen. Macarthur did not be-
lieve that any increase in forces
in the Western Pacific to carry
out his plans for ending the Ko-
rean fighting would interfere with
the defense program for Western
Europe. He suggested that air
strength in the Far East might be
increased by "two additional B-29
or B-36 groups" At this point the
censor deleted for security rea-
sons the remainder of the gen.
erals answer.
When Senator Morse pressed
him on the point that Russia and
Red China have a mutual aid
treaty, Gen. Macarthur suggest
ed that the Soviet may not want
to line up too closely with China
in view of "the increasing
strength of this new Franken-
stein that is being gradually con-
gealed and coalesced in China"
Asking Senator Morse a ques-
ton, for change the general in
Iquired, Would the Soviet desire
to have China become so power
full that it might eventually chal-
lenge the Soviet?"
Supports Military Advice.
Earlier in the day, Gen. Mac
Arthur. in his first comment on
the controversial issue of troops
for Europe, said Congress should
follow the advice of the military
leaders on a question of this kind.
He appeared to have lined up
against the doctrine of former
President Herbert Hoover, who
Ispearheaded an effort to keep
American ground forces at home
and conf1ne help for Western
Europe to sea and air power.
Gen. Macarthur said:
Il believe it is the gravest pos
sible mistake in the use of the
armed forces of a nation to try
to draw the lines of demarcation
between ground troops, air troops
and navy troops. They are an in
tegrated team"
He agreed that Congress has
the last word on how military
power Is utilized but suggested it
would do well to "pay the closest
attention" to the advice of mill

words OF the transcript the indig-
nation of his voice seems to be
reflected. that all his recommen-
dations for harder blows at the
Chinese Communists were for the
purpose of seeking decisions,
seeking policy directives.
Gen. Macarthur asserted that
the Presidents announced reasons
for his dismissal-that he could
not give wholehearted support to
the policies of the United States
and the United Nations-were
mot valid"
Despite his reluctance to order
his men into battle under adverse
circumstances, and despite his
persistent efforts to obtain more
aid from Washington, Gen. Mac
Arthur said he never held any in
tention of resigning.
Hoped to See Missions Through.
He made this response when he
was asked about reports that he
had planned to resign and that
Mr.. Truman forestalled the move
by ordering his recall. Gen. Mac
Arthur said that was ridiculous"
"It had been my hope" he
added, that I would be able to
see my missions through. Those
missions were the signing of the
Japanese peace treaty and the
conclusion of the Korean war"
One of the issues that will be
explored fully with the appear
ance of Gen. Marshall and the
Joint Chiefs of Staff before the
committee will be the meaning of
a January study by the Joint
Chiefs proposing stronger steps
against the Chinese Communists.
The study, among other things.
called for naval blockade against
the Chinese mainland.
Gen. Macarthur was asked dur

ciflc reasons to the contrary"
Sees Present Goal Adequate.
Under questioning by Senator
Johnson. Democrat, of Texas the
general insisted that the admin
istration's present goal of "a mil.
lion men in the armed forces by
July would meet the needs of the
Far East without prejudice tc
other areas"
Gen. Macarthur testified that
the United States is "inadequately'
prepared at present to withstand
a surprise enemy attack. He based
that opinion on the fact that in
Korea, he said, he has never been
supplied "the sinews that were
necessary to bring it to a decisive
conclusion, and that is the only
place in the world we are fighting
II we are not able to supply it
there, ! assume that deficiencies
exist"
In this discussion with Senator
Mcmahon, Democrat, of Connecti-
cut. the general had said that
nowadays wars are started with
surprise attacks and that in the
event of another world war the
first blow might well be "the de-
cisive blow"
While he was being quizzed
about the possibility that his plan
might bring Russia into the actual
lighting in the Far East, Gen,
Macarthur said he does not believe
Russia could by air and submarine
action cut supply lines to U. N,
forces in Korea.
Never Intended to Resign.
In the closing hours of his long
appearance on the witness stand
Gen. Macarthur declared in a
ringing fashion that he resents
with every fiber of my body" the
suggestion that he failed to carry
out the policies of the President
OF the Nation or "even the poll
cles and directives of the United
Nations"
He said, and even in the cold

Taking new issue with Presi-

yesterday described as pure bun

ton between the Central Intel
ligence Agency (CIA) and his
Pacific command.
MIR, Truman told his news con-
ference Thursday that Gen. Mac
Arthur had barred CIA men from
his command until recently.
Without mentioning the Pres
ident by name, Gen. Macarthur
told Senators Friday that was
''tommyrot."
Yesterday, Senator Morse, Re-
publican, of Oregon, brought up
the matter again, but again there
was no direct mention of the
President.
els it true" Senator Morse
asked, "that two CIA men had
been sent to Tokyo and were
not given access to your intelli-
gence files and they were con-
fronted with an order that they
could not have access to the bat

to have any assistance he could
get in intelligence"
"The Central Intelligence agen-

AFL Official AssaiIs
Truman Labor Policy,
Hints Shift 10 6. 0.P.
BY the Associated Press

Richard J. Gray. head of the
AFL's powerful Building Trades
Department, yesterday raped the
Truman administrations labor
policy and suggested members
might consider voting Republican
in the next elections.
Mr.. Gray's suggestion, union
officials hastily explained after it
appeared in the department bulle-
tin. was just an idea and was not
a concrete recommendation.
Least Desirable" Plan.
Mr.. Gray offered it as one of
four possible courses of action for
the 19 AFL unions and their esti-
mated 3 million members in the
trades department.
He said it was the least desir-
able of the four because Senator
Taft Of Ohio, co-sponsor of the
Taft Hartley labor law, will no
doubt be the Republican presiden-
tial candidate"
But Mr.. Gray said it had merit
because it would serve to wake
up the Democratic Party"
The other three plans suggested
by Mr.. Gray were:
Independent Party Opposed.
/. Form an independent labor
party. He said experience in Eng
land and France indicated such
a step could defeat our very aims
and purposes in entering the po-
litical arena" a.
2. Indorse both Democrats and
Republicans if their labor record
was satisfactory. He said that was
the most appealing plan, but
there was very serious question
whether beneficial legislation woulc
result.
3. Vote Democratic. He saio
that is still quite a popular plan.
But, he added. 1.-The flaw is the
record of the present administra-
ton on vital labor matters"
