The halt that took place after

in crossing the parallel was due
entirely to logistical difficulties. 1t
was with the greatest difficulty
that troops could be supplied.
We had to go through the Seoul,
had to go from Inchon to Seoul,
or by railroad from Pusan up, and,
Gen. Walker had the greatest diff

Denies Contact
Lack Between Units

! Senator Morse - Now another
subject matter. General, It is
ialleged in some writings that we
have read that at the time of the
operation last November and De-
IcemDer, Gen. Walker of the Eighth
Army and Gen. Almond of the
10th Corps did not maintain COM
munications between each other
but had to communicate through
Tokyo, and orders were sent out
to them from Tokyo in regard to
the tactical operations that they
were or should carry out in that
operation.
Is that true or false?
Gen. MacArthur-That Is false.
The coordination of these two
forces was in my own hands. The
Tenth Corps was an enveloping
movement that was moving in to
loutflank the supply line of the
remnants of the North Korean
Army. But the liaison between the
9th Army and the 10th Corps was
carried on by the normal processes
and means, not only by planes,
icouriers, but by other means.
There was as complete co-ordina-
ton as have ever known between
Ien7eloping movements much
more coordination was there than
I was able to get between the

Training of Troops

soned . think it would be good
for the record if you would COM
ment on the problem that con-
fronted you as commander in re-
spect to the previous training of
the troops that you had available
to send into Korea at that time
Gen. MacArthur-The troops in
Japan had been practically re-

Situation in Korea
Before Red Invasion

Senator Morse - General, re-
verting now to the situation prior
to the outbreak in Korea, after it
became pretty well known that
there were powerful Communist
trained forces north of the 38th
Parallel. Russia then announced
to the world that she was with
drawing Russian troops. She
withdrew them when she no longer
needed them because she had her
satellite Communist troops to take
their place.
Gen. MacArthur-Somebody to
do the job for her. correct.
Senator Morse. Subsequent
ly and finally we did withdraw our
troops from South Korea. Did
you join in any recommendation
to withdraw those troops from
South Korea?
Gen. MacArthur-I concurred
in it.
Senator Morse - Do you think
that was a mistake? I don't mean
to give you a hindSight question.
Gen. MacArthur-In the after
math and hindsight, I should say
it was very grave mistake. a..
At that time, Senator, at the time
our troops were withdrawn, it was
the strategic concept of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff that that was not
"a proper place for the employ
lment of American ground troops,
that is that it involved inherent
dangers to place United States
ground troops in continental Asia.
and it was, as far as the military
was concerned, the strategic con-
Isideration that our troops should
not be left there because they
might be trapped. that is if the
Soviet and the Communist Red
China and everybody had sudden
ly hit, the position of a small
garrison there would have been
very dangerous indeed, and the
strategic concept was for the
withdrawal of those troops.
There was nothing peculiarly
threatening at that time in Korea
when the decision was made to
get out.
Senator Morse-When the deci-
sion was made to get out, General,
had it become your understanding
that Americas front line of de-
tense in the Pacific was a line
which fell on this side of Korea
and that therefore it was not con-

Gen. observation-disclosures.
Senator Morse-I am glad to
have that.
Gen. MacArthur-And the Of
f1cers were good friends. Gen
Almond had been my chief of
staff; Gen. Walker commanded
the Eighth Army for several years
right out there. And their &C
quaintanceship lasted over, oh, 25
years.
Senator Morse-Now, General, q
question or two on the exhibit in
the record
| Gen. MacArthur-The last time
I saw Walker alive I recall that
he spoke of a fine letter that he
had just written Gen. Almond
When we Withdrew the Tenth
Corps from the enveloping move
ment caused by the entrance oil
Red China into the war. I moved
the Tenth Corps around to Pusar
and placed them as a component
part of the Eighth Army; and
Gen. Walker expressed to me the
great pleasure that he had that
he was getting Almond under his
immediate command, and of the
fine letter that he had just sent
him.
All That Stuff is Scuttlebutt.'
Senator Morse-Now, General,
l would like to ask a question or
two in regard
Gen. MacArthur-All that sort
of stuff, Senator. is "scuttlebutt. :"
written 10000 miles away from the
scene by these skillful propa-
gandists who were trying to
destroy the confidence of the
American people in their own in

the effort that was made to destroy
the belief by the American people
that their troops were not of the
highest quality and did not have
adequate and efficient leader
ship.
Senator Morse :. Now, Gen.
eral, I want to ask a question or
two in regard to the exhibit in
this record, which I think is of
the most vital Importance, namely,
the so-called study of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff of January II.
with regard to which you testi-
fled so frequently in the hearings.
And l ask you this question: Was
the study and recommendation of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff based
upon a plan for evacuation and or
retreat of the Pusan beachhead,
and that it was not contemplated

should be implemented except in

templated to defend in Korea?
Gen. MacArthur-There was M
question that our military strate.
gic concept was as you have said
will say that there was {
very great political pressure from
South Korea itself to Withdraw
our troops. They were anxious tt
have them withdrawn, and il
paralleled that political impulse o1
the South Koreans, paralleled the
strategic concepts that the mill
tary had at that time to withdraw
| them. &c..
Senator Morse-When you con-
CURED in the decision to with
draw our troops and most of oul
heavy equipment, too-we did moi
leave much American equipment
in South Korea when we were
through, did we? ID
General Macarthur - When
those troops Withdrew they left
considerable of their equipment
that was turned over to the South
Korean army. But there was a
definite decision made from Wash
Iington with reference to the items
concerned. There was a limita-
ton on the size of artillery.
think there was a limitation on
the tanks. T'can't recall that they
received any air equipment. And
if they received any navy equip
ment. it was of very minor
character. Certain definite limi-
tations were placed as to what
should be left back there.
Senator Morse-Would it be fail
to say that those limitations
placed on the type of equipment
that should be left in South
Korea could be generally charac-
Iterized as calling for the leaving
behind of only so-called light
equipment. with little heavy equip
ment, such as heavy artillery, and
heavy tanks?
Gen. MacArthur-That is right,
1t was the heavier equipment
What was left was sufficient as
"a constabulary. 1t would have
been quite sufficient to stop the
North Korean security forces if
they tried to come down, but it
was not sufficient to stop a we'll
equipped modern army on the
attack. -,.
CThere was brief discussion of
the record.)
Senator Morse-General. did
you, at any time, take any action
to prevent the use of guerilla
warfare or sabotage activity be-
hind the enemy's lines?
Gen. MacArthur-No, sir; to the
contrary, I encouraged it.
Senator Morse-Can you tell us,
general, about when the American
Rangers, guerilla trained fighters
were used in the Korean war?
Gen. MacArthur-My recollec-
ton is not entirely distinct on that
but 1 think We began to get the
Ranger companies shortly, proba-
bly,. after the Inchon landing.
Senator Morse-You wern't op-
posed to their use, were you?
Gen. MacArthur-Oh, am one

use.

case of evacuation or retreat Of
Pusan?
Gen. MacArthur-That is not
the way it read. 1t said distinctly
that these things should be put
into operation as soon as our posi-
tion in Korea was stabilized, or
that we evacuated Korea.
The first of the contingencies
was the one Of stabilization, and
then. at. that time, it was quite
apparent that we were under. nor
NAL conditions going to stabilize
that situation.
I would like to read the exact
wording of that.
Senator Morse-I will be glad
to have you.
Gen. MacArthur-The pertinent
phrase is this: Prepare now to
impose"
Senator Morse-General, may I
interrupt just a moment to ad-
dress a question to the chairman?
We are dealing again, L think,
Mr.. Chairman, with a document
which I understand - and you
clear me up-Which I understand
is considered one that has not
been paraphrased, and that there
fore the colloquy now taking
place, the examination now taking
place between the general and
myself, it ought to be understood,
will be deleted from the record
when released to the public. Am
I right or wrong?
Gen. MacArthur-May I inter-
vene, Mr.. Chairman?
Senator RuSSel-Yes.
Nothing CryptOgraphic.
Gen. MacArthur-ThiS does not
need to be paraphrased. This is
"a mimeographed copy of a study
which was sent to me through
the mails. There is nothing
cryptographic involved in it.
Senator Morse-You may pro-
ceed.
Senator Smith, may say this
statement that the general is read
ing appeared in David LaWrence's
column in the New York Herald
Tribune on May 3.
Gen. MacArthur-It is in my
own testimony. 1 think, that was
given to the public. as a matter
of minor Importance >. I think it
is the fourth time.
Senator Russel-Perhaps your
recollection is better than mine.
Gen. MacArthur-"Prepare now
to impose a naval blockade OF
China and place it into effect as
soon as our position in Korea is
stabilized or when we have evacu-
ated Korea"

U.N. Action on Korea
Was Declaration of
War, Macarthur Says

The mandate of the United
Nations to resist aggression in
Korea might we'll be regarded
as a declaration of war"
Gen. Macarthur said yester-
day.
Senator Morse, Republican.
of Oregon, tried to draw the
deposed Pacific commander
out on whether he thought
Congress should have de-
clared war when President
Truman sent troops into
Korea.
Gen. Macarthur said that
I'VE actually practiced war"
but declined to pass on the
question directly.
II would say that the action
OF the United Nations
amounted to a declaration of
war at that time" he said.

Memory Indistinct
On China Statement

Senator Morse-General. do Won
recall a request from the State
Department last November to issue
a statement that the United Ma
tionS had no designs on China?
Gen. MacArthur-My recollec-
ton is indistinct on it, Senator.
l don't recall whether I was asked
to issue a statement, or not.
Senator Morse-General, did YOU
ever receive any advice from WASH
Ington. through channels of your
superior command, about leaving
a buffer zone between North Korea
and Manchuria. and if so, what was
your reply to that advice?
Gen. MacArthur-There was
considerable pressure and desire.
apparently. from Washington. to
have a buffer zene established in
North Korea. There were various
steps in the general proposals
that were made.
The first one was that the United
NatlonS troops, except the South
Korean troops, would not go be-
Iyond a certain line, and that the
intervening territory should be held
by the South Korean troops.
1t very shortly became evident
that the South Korean troops
didn't have the power to occupy
that; and in the gradual process
OF the campaign. the concept of a
buffer zone disappeared. The
minute Red China came in. all
questions of buffer zones disap-
peared and events overcame that
idea.
Senator Morse. Did you receive,
at any time, General, advice from
superiors in your line of command.
that one reason for suggesting a
buffer zone was that it was be-
lieved in Washington that such
"a zone might be helpful in nego-
tlating a cease-flre order, through
the committee of the United Ma
tons that was then at work on
a cease-flre order negotiation?
Gen. MacArthur.-I have no
such recollection.
Told To Clear All of Korea.
Senator. Morse at any
time were you asked for a recon-
mendation, or advice. by your SUI
periors in line of command, as to
whether or not we should push
beyond the 38th Parallel, and go
all the way to the Yalu?
Gen. MacArthur.-The original
mission that was assigned was to
clear all of Korea.
That original declaration of pol
icy was supplemented, in October.

Macarthur Borrows
CottIemon's Term to
| Brand Communism
eY the Associaied Press

Gen. Macarthur dipped in
to the folklore of the cowboy
West yesterday, referring to
world Communism as "a NAV
erick."
The word means an un-
branded stray calf and in the
sense he used it, it means more
specifically one that is loose
from the herd and generally
gone wild.
The name derives from a
Samuel A. Maverick, cattle
owner who didn't bother to
brand his calves.
"As long as you have a NAV
erick running loose in the
world" Gen. Macarthur told
Senate investigators, "it means
that your necessity for pre-
paredness increases unless you
can find the formula to settle
the whole matter"
