and barbarity of warfare. have
been just discarded now, as you
know, Senator, peculiarly, and
one of the primary things that
has been discarded is that troops
operate these days under the or
ders of their governments without
any declaration of war. which
gives this great surprise factor.
Very Little Difference.
However, if they had had the
warning, I don't see that they
could have done very much diff
ferent. 1t took us, as I told you,
nearly three weeks to get troops
from Japan in any force over
there, so if the enemy had sent
over a copy of his order within
72 hours of the attack, there
could have been very little diff
ference in the result.
Senator Morse. AS far as the
threat of a fight that confronts
us with communism around the
world, is it not true that our mill
tary intelligencey system would
be expected to carry on rather
constant vigilance as to commu-
nistic activity everywhere, in
cluding the area north of the 38th
Parallel?

ably.
Senator Morse And if they
did and if they found any infor-
nation that would be of impor-
tance to the military defense of
this country, were they under OBJ
legation to make that available
to your command?
Gen. MacArthur.-I would as
sumo they would. 1t was not in
my area, but it was adjacent to
my area, and I would have been
vitality interested.
Senator Morse.-No, general, I
ask a question with no implica-
tionS on my part at all, but in
answer to what I have read. The
question is this: Is it true that
two CIA men had been sent to
Tokyo and were in Tokyo prior
to the trip to Tokyo that Gen.
Bedell Smith made to confer with
you, but that those CIA men 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
tlefield?
Gen. MacArthur.-Pure bunk
um, Senator. I think any
theater commander would be glad
to have any assistance he could
get in intelligence. The only ques-
tionS that ever could arise be-
tween a theater commander and
the Central Intelligence Agency
was that there should be proper
coordination between his own
service and the Cen
tral Intelligence Agency.
The Central Intelligence Agency
out in my command has worked
in complete unity and with my
chief of intelligence. Gen. VIII

Senator MorSe.-General, you
know of no friction between the
chief of your intelligence service.

of C. I. A. under the jurisdiction
of Gen. Smith?

would not be normal and minor,

iskeletonized and emasculated in
their organization. The regiments
had their full organization and
tlcally in the Pacific. There were
generally speaking instead of hav-
ing three battalions only had two
battalionS. The batteries, the az
tlllery battalions instead of hat-
ing the normal number of batter
les usually had only one battery
The actual strength of the troops
as compared with a combat or
ganlzation was probably not more
than fifty per cent thereof.
The efforts. the economies that
were being practiced had reduced
the divisions to what might be
called cadre strength. They were
suddenly, without the slightest
warning, picked up and put into
combat, and as a result there
wasn't fraction of the efficiency
they would have had had they
hal their full organization and
their full strengths.
Under the handicaps that they
had. 1 have looked back with
at the success that
they achieved.
Senator Morse.-And they were
the only troops you had avail
able?
Gen. MacArthur.-They were
the only troops that were avail
able not only to me but prac-
tq1cally in the Pacific. There were
one or two regiments that we
picked up from Pearl Harbor, the
9TH infantry, for instance.
Marine Division Sent.
Now we did have of course as
rapidly as they could get out
there. We got the 1st Marine
DIVISION. One combat team of
the lst Marine Division went into
action as recall sometime in
August, and the other two combat
divisions reached us just about
the time that we were launching
the Inchow operation.
Those unitS-it's a magnif1cent
in good organiza-
tlonal shape, they were at
strength with officers, they were
as fine as you could expect, but
the other troops that 1 had, all
the troops in my command, none
OF them are up to strength vet
Senator Saltonstall-Is it true
that the tanks and the materiel
With which these troops were
equipped that were first sent over
there was of a very light caliber
because of the roads and the
bridges and SO forth in japan 50
that it was difficult for them to
compete with the tanks that were
coming down against them?
Gen. MacArthur-They had the
lighter tank in the occupation
troops, but the great difficulty in
Tile CanK warfare in the start was
not the caliber of the tank. it was
the fact that we didn't have as
many as the other fellow had.
Inc equipment that we had of
those occupational divisions was
the normal equipment of the
United States Army as it had
ended the war five years be-
fore. I regard the equipment as
quite adequate. 1t was the lack
OF its completeness that invited

Many Reds Pin Hopes
On U. s., Ex-Nazis Assert
By the Assoeiated Press

GOETTINGEN, Germany, April
28.-Former Dutch prisoners-of- f.
war returning today from the
Soviet Union told newsmen that
many Russians "hope for America
to liberate them from the Krem-
lin"
Thegroup of 30 included former
members of the Dutch SIS (Nazi
elite guard) and Organization
Todt, a semimilitary supply and
engineering outfit. Most of them
were captured while fighting with
the Germans at Stalingrad and
sentenced to eight years impris-
onment.

LONG BEACH, Calf. April 28.
The West isn't dead yet. Comes
now q 19-year-old who lassoed
an eagle.
He's Robert r. Kulp. jr.. a high
school biology student. He. also
proved that an eagle can be out
run.
Here's the youths story Of how
|it happened:
With two pals, he went inland,
near Lake Matthews, on biology
field trip. They made camp and
started scouting. Beneath a tree,
they spotted the young eagle. At
their approach. he trotted away.
For an hour they followed him.
He'd race UP a knoll. then spread
his six-foot wings and glide as far
|as he could.
But, although he was full
|feathered. he didn't seem yet to
have wings strong enough to take
loft. His pursuers raced after him,
and the gliding process would be
repeated. The strain told. An
eagle isn't built for cross-country
running, and finally Kulp got
close enough to toss q lasso over
the eagles neck,
With a blanket, he and his
friends. Raymond Teeter and
Ronald Weber. captured him, and
put him in the back Of their car.

The $40 million Veterans Hos
pital project on the soldiers home
grounds, delayed for more than
a year by the defense planning
agencies. has been reactivated.
Engineers and designers in the
Veterans Administration con-
struction division have resumed
work on the preliminary plans
to include bomb resistant con-
struction, proposed by the Civil
Defense agency. These are ex-
pected to be ready for the con-
Sideration of Veterans Admins
traitor Carl r. Gray, jr., on his
return here next month.
The recommendations from the
Civil Defense Agency cah for a
central core" in the buildings.
In this would be the elevator
shafts, stairways, some treatment
and utility rooms, with space into
which beds from the wards out
side Of the core could be trans
ferred In the event Of an impend-
ing bombing.
Designed for Emergency
The walls Of the core would be
of reinforced concrete Is inches
thick. It also was recommended
that the roof over the core be l8-
inch-thick reinforced concrete
These proposals, 1t was said, were
the result of recommendations Of
a New York architectural and en-
cheering firm m a king bomb
proofing studies for the Army
Engineers.

the regular hospital wards. with
no unusual bomb protection. But,
it was pointed out. the primary
purpose Of providing bomb-reSiSt-
ant construction from a civil de-
tense viewpoint is not the pro-
lection Of the patients, but the
urgent need for hospital facilities
In the event Of O bombing.
Dispersal Opposed.
In this respect, it was asserted
that the civil defense agencies
rather favor dispersal over bomb
resisting. But the Veterans Ad-
ministration is opposed to moving
the hospitals into the wide-open
spaces because of the inability to
staff them with personnel and be-
cause Of difficulty in getting out
standing consultantS to travel
great distances to render service.
The bomb-resistant construc-
ton will increase the cost of the
hospitals over the original plans.
it was estimated, approximately

per cent. On the other hand, it
was asserted that the delay by
the defense agencies viii increase
the cost approximately 10 per
cent, which is the amount that
hospital building has gone up dur
ing the past year.
Delayed for Year.
Planning was halted on the
project in April, 1850, following
conferences between Veterans Ad-
ministration officials. the National
Security Resources Board and the
Budget Bureau. Dispersal was
urged at that time. but Gen. Gray
strongly opposed it and the project
was left with the NSRB.
When the Civil Defense was di-
vorced from NSRB, 1t carried the
hospital project with 1t and there
is where 1t seems to have been
lost.
Inquiries early this month de-
veloped that the Civil Defense
didn't know it had the project,
and no one apparently was con-
cerned about it. The resources
board group had previously sent
a design for a thick-walled win
dowless building about the size
of a large dwelling to be placed
under ground at its proposal, but
this was Immediately rejected as
being unsatisfactory for hospital
purposes.
A "searcher" letters sent out
a few weeks ago by the Veterans
Administration finally revived at
tention to the hospital project.
This resulted in the Army Engi-
neer Corps data book being sent.
It is from this that the current
plans are being worked out for
the four hospitals.
