Former Defense Secretary
Louis Johnson told the Sen

United States could win a war
with Russia right now. He
said, however,, he would not
advocate any bold new stately
for winning the Korea con-
flict if it means involving the
U. S. in World War III.
Johnson said he feared at
one time the U. S. was moving
for recognition Of communist
China. He was afraid that the
Chinese communists would be
permitted to enter the UN and
that this country would have
recognized them.
He concluded two days Of
testimony by saying he feels
the U. S. needs unity and faith
in its Institutions and pro-
cesses.

decided to vote on Monday on
whether to conclude the hear
ings within the next fifteen
