voice. ''Did-did she say anything

Smith Questions
Effect on Japan

Senator Smith-Does it not seem
strange when the President asked
Mr.. Dulles to take the response

ltiations for the peace treaty. the
possible effect on all that by the
removal of Gen. MacArthur-does
lit not seem strange Mr.. Dulles was
not asked what his views would
be?
I Gen. MARSHALL believe ! ex-
planned yesterday that that matter
of Gen. MacArthur's relation tc
the peace treaty was discussed al
considerable length. However, the
Secretary of State was present tc
give his views in relation to thai
matter.
Senator Smith-Was there any
suggestion in any of the discus
sions of improper conduct on the
part of Gen. Macarthur in tht
exercise of these other commands
other than the Korean command
in the decision to remove him al
Supreme Commander of the Alliee
Powers? Did those who made o.

critical moment? Did they con-
slider what might be the effect on
Japan?
Gen. Marshall-That was very
carefully considered.
| Senator Smith - -. Why
wasn't it considered whether
he would have turned his COM
mand over to Gen. Ridgway, il
requested by his superiors.
Why wasn't it possible to send
a member Of the Joint Chiefs
over to talk with him, or have
him come here. and explore this
with him, and request him tc
turn over his command, which he
would have done-why was il
necessary to humiliate him by
this public discharge, without
notice?
Gen. Marshall-That was the
fault of the radio
Macarthur Backed Ridgway.
Senator Smith-Isnt it a fact
that Gen. Ridgway was Gen.
MacArthur's choice for the COM
mand in Korea?
Gen. Marshall-I was not in
Washington at that time. I don't
know whether he sent the name
in or it was proposed to him, but
I know he highly approved.
Senator Smith - Gen. Mac
Arthur testified here he would
have suggested the name of Ridg-
way. 1t seems with the divided
command, with Gen. Ridgway in
Japan and Gen. Van Fleet in
Korea, you have the divided
command.
Gen. Marshall-But Gen. Van
Fleet is under Gen. Ridgway.
Senator Smith-Gen. Ridgway
on every matter except Korean
strategy could have been subordi-
nate to Gen. Macarthur. You
didn't think it was possible to
have Gen. Ridgway in command
OF Korea in the matter of strategy
there and still have Gen. Ridg-
way subordinate to Gen. MacAr.

with the Department of Defense,
and the kind of thing that he
would be reprimanded for if he
didn't clear with the Department
of Defense. but I won't labor the
point. I just want to bring this in
cident to your attention to see
whether you felt there was an in
discretion there by Gen. Ridgway
two months ago in making that
sort of a statement. It begins:
1T would be a tremendous vic
tory for the United Nations if the
war NEEDED with our forces in con-
troll up to the 38th Parallel"
If that isn't a matter of policy,
II don't see what would be. It
doesn't say anything about the
safety of the troops.
Directed at Troop Morale.
Gen. Marshall-That quite evil
IDENTIFY was directed at his own
troops and their morale, I would
say. That is my own opinion.
Senator Smith. General,
I want to get clearly in my mind
with regard to this other respon-
sibility that Gen. Macarthur had
in Japan, and in the first place
Gen. Macarthur had as Supreme
Commander of the Allied Nations
in Japan. AS I understand, it was
very much concerned with the
Japanese peace treaty. Mr.. John
Foster Dulles had just come back
from Japan after having been in
a number of negotiations on the
peace treaty, both discussing it
with japanese leaders and with
our Allies in Australia, and New
Zealand and so on. trying to get
some overall understanding with
regard to it; and supposedly Gen.
Macarthur was in on the whole
discussion.
Now, I would like to ask the
question whether in determining
to remove Gen. Macarthur from
that position in soap. we will
call it, whether Mr.. Dulles was
consulted. whether the possible
effect on the peace treaty was
considered at all by the groups
that removed Gen. Macarthur.
Gen. Marshall-Mr. Dulles was
not consulted. I do not know
whom the President spoke to
other than the four officials I
have mentioned-myself, Secre-
Itary of State, Ambassador Harri-
man and Gen. Bradley. I know the
President did speak to three or
four others. I am quite certain
Mr.. Dulles was not among those
four, but I cannot be positive.

the United States In March of
1946. =.
Senator Smith-Do you recall
who had a hand in the prepara-
ton of the directives that sent
you to China?
Gen. Marshall-At that time,
Senator-Mr. Byrnes was Secre-
tary of State. and I presume he
had a hand in it: Mr.. Acheson
was Undersecretary of State and
I presume he had d hand in it;
John Carter Vincent was the head
of the China group in the State
.Department-certaintly, he had
a hand in it. I do not know what
Others did.
Represented by Gen. Hull.
On my part Gen. Hull, who is
now on duty in the Army head
quarters. and was the head of
the Operations Division during
the war for me, he represented
my interests so far as I was con-
Icerned in that. together with a
man from Time Magazine forces,
who had helped me briefly in the
latter part of the war in the
preparation of my final report,
and who the dictatorship of Time
loaned me to take to China with
me, because he had been there
throughout a good period of the
We.
Senator Smith-Did I under
stand you to say yesterday that
you did not see Gen. Macarthur
on that trip to confer with him
on the general Far East situation?
Gen. Marshall-On the trip out
+ did not go through Japan. I
went through the Philippines and
Indo-China. On my return in
March, I came. back to Tokyo and
saw Gen. Macarthur then.
Senator Smith-Did you discuss
the Chinese situation with him at
that time?
Gen. Marshall-I think I stated
yesterday-anyWay, I state it to-
day. that I have no distinct recol-
lection of a conversation with Gen.
Macarthur in regard to Cnln4. l

morning of January 10th about
80 minutes before this general
meeting with political purposes o1

of the Communist regime as for

Government which was an armis-
Itice and which it was left to me
to implement. and I did that by

tive headquarters of our people

Made Recommendations.
Senator Smith-When you did
discover that you could not mix
the two groups, you could not get
them together, did you have any
authority beyond that to make
any recommendations with regard
to our relationship with the Kuo-
mintang government or the Com
mics, or anything else?
Gen. Marshall-I don't quite
understand what you mean by
authority" I made recommended
tions back to our Government, to
the President directly, to him.
But, Senator, I moved into an
other role Immediately after that;
this meeting took place, this po-
litical meeting took place, in
which I did not Participate, and
they reached a signed agreement

I In that conclusion that they ar

should be a committee set up tc
which I was to be the adviser for
the purpose of demobilizing the
tremendous forces then under
arms, and amalgamating the
Communist forces, as reduced
with the government forces, as
also reduced.

airy. 1947.
Gen. Marshall-Correct, sir.
Senator Smith-Now might
ask you this. Had you been te
China before that trip or was that
your first trip to China?
Gen. Marshall was there
from "a to 1927.
Senator Smith-'24 to '27. That
lis some time back before the re-
cent crisis.
Gen. Marshall-That is the only
other time. I had been in Man.

Senator Smith-Well, now could
II ask you this. What was the di-
Irective that you received for your
"trip to China in Christmas, 1915?
I would like very much to know
what the general outline Of that
directive was. There have been
different reports about it. Let
me ask you your recollection OF
the broad reaches of that directive
What were you supposed to do in
China?
Sought to End Fighting.
Gen. MARSHALL was supposed
primarily to bring an end to the
fighting. That was the primary
purpose of my trip. I was not, ex-
cept in an inferential manner. to
go into the political factors.
Those were stated in the Presi-
dents directive, and they had as
their background previous meet
ings and discussions which had
occurred, and particularly in which
Gen. Hurley, then Ambassador
represented this Government.
The principal factor in relation

that there had been an agreement

FOLLOWING is a partial teTt OF
Gen. MdrShalrs testimony today
before Joint Senate Commit
tee Investigating Far Eastern
policy:
Chairman Russell At the
time the committee recessed on
yesterday, Senator Smith was
questioning Secretary Marshall.
I understand you have not con-
cluded your questions, so you will
proceed.
Senator Smith. Secretary
Marshall or Gen. Marshall, there
was a question that came to my
attention this morning from some
thing I saw in the morning paper
on this. will just diverge from
my other line of questioning a
minute to ask you this question:
Would you consider the ques-
ton of whether we should settle
at the 38th Parallel as a political
or a policy question or military
question?
Gen. Marshall would feel
that as to the 38th Parallel, the
security of the army would be
involved, as it was in the instruc-
tions given Gen. Macarthur on
the first return to the 38th Paral-
lei. after the aggression started
there. and more particularly re-
Gently, after the withdrawal from
North Korea south of Seoul. to
south of Seoul, and the return OF
the force under Gen. Ridgway to
the vicinity of the 3Sth Parallel:
There was a military factor Of
the security of that command,
meaning that part of the COM
mand might have to move north
of the Parallel in order to fur
nish adequate protection against
turning movements, for example.
There was also the general po-
Iitical factor as to whether we
should renew a movement into
North Korea. a limited move
ment into North Korea. That
was political factor.
Ridgway Statement Cited.
Senator Smith-What I am
trying to get at is what kind OF an
issue is a military commander in
the field justified in commenting
on. We criticized Gen. Macarthur
for having said certain things.
What brought this question to
my mind was to read in Mr.. WAL
ter Lippmarfn's column this
morning in commenting on some
thing else, where he said:
But Gen. Ridgway, who did
such extraordinary things in
averting what looked like mill
tary defeat, went on record two
months ago saying that it would
be tremendous victory for the
United Nations if the war ended
with our forces in control up to
the 38th Parallel
am just wondering whether a
statement like that was cleared
with the Department of Defense,
or whether that was statement
that Gen. Ridgway was justified
in making without clearance?
Gen. Marshall-I am quite GER
tain that that was not cleared
with the Department of Defense
Senator Smith-Well, isn't that
the type of statement which you
criticized Gen. Macarthur for?
Gen. Marshall don't think
that there is sufficient of paral-
lei there, Senator. We have, fol
example, had no general public
discussions regarding the 38tt
Parallel so far as the commanders

He discovered the only method of treating

ers wholly effective.
The afflicted person must rearTange his

Play, Work, Love, Worship devotion to
something bigger than oneself. No single
one of these influences should be allowed to

that happens trouble develops.
DR.. Kepler's patients lives were invariably
found to be decidedly lacking in balance
Frequently at least one of the four factors was
almost entirely absent - and as often as not.
the missing ingredient was play. Wherever
the balance was restored, the patients symp-
toms improved.
Too many people regard Just having fun
as frivolous and unimportant waste of time.
But the consensus of leading scientific studies
show that nothing could be farther from the
fact.
q: Is it true that people sChO don't hare
enough fun are much more likely to
be neurotic than others?
n: Yes Studies of the noted psychiatrist
DR.. David H. Fink show that this is very
definitely true. And surveys conducted at
Ohio State University show that students who
engage Fundamentally in recreational activi-
ties are far better adjusted than those who
do not.
Play is also a release for our creative i'm
pulses. Often our jobs use only small part
- sometimes none of our hidden talents.

GCIENCE has discovered that fun plain,
~ ordinary, everyday fun - is vital part
of your life. How much you enjoy yourself in
play and recreation is intimately connected
with how well-adjusted you are how mentally
alert you are, how well you do your work and
even how long you will live. Studies show
that the fun ingredient - which is sadly lack
ing in many peoples lives - is just as impor-
tant to mental and physical health as getting
enough sleep or eating proper food
Because fun is so essential to our general
well-being. psychologists and sociologists in
leading universities and research foundations
have been conducting serious studies and sur
veys to find out more about it.
They've found out just how having fun
affects you mentally and physically.
They can tell you what gives the most fun
to most people.
They know which sex has more fun - and
why.
They know some people almost always have
fun. no matter what they do. And others
almost never enjoy themselves at all.
And if you'd like to have more fun, the sd
entists will gladly let you in on the secret.
Let's look at their findings:
Question: Why is fun important?
Anssrer: Exhaustive studies conducted by
DR.. E. ]. Kepler at the Mayo Clinic show that
play" has a far more vital effect on our mind
and body than most of us ever dream. DR..

ments on hundreds of patients who. though
they had nothing organically wrong with
them, felt chemically below par, were always

And these creative powers when bottled up
can cause unhappiness. In play we can
break loose and express ourselves - without
worrying what the boss might think
Play. as psychiatrists point out, is safety
valve for the emotions. 1t serves as an outlet
for the primitive and aggressive impulses
that We inherit from our cave-man ances-
tors. whose aggression was necessary for sur
vival
These impulses can be given safe expression
in play - in competitive games ranging from
baseball to poker. If these aggressive instincts
are not thus harmlessly diverted, they are
likely to cause trouble
Q: Does fun hare ava effect on longevity?
n: Authorities think that it does. "All things
being equal" says Psychiatrist David H.
Fink. studies show that the person who gets
