Gen. MacArthur's adviser who has
made frequent comments on the
testimony, was among those sug-
gested. Senator Russell said.
Gen. Collins told Senator Long
Democrat, of Louisiana, that he
saw two alternatives" for Ko-
rean peace settlement.
One would be the entire uni
f1cation of the country" he said.
las I see it today, under the cur
rent circumstances, from a mill
tary point of view that is unlikely.
''The other possibility would be
to arrive at a solution based on
factual conditions somewhere, GER
tainly not south of the 38th Paral-
lei. That would at least restore
the conditions that existed prior
to the Communist aggression"
Feared Next Macarthur Move.
While this second solution
might not be as good as the first, F"
he said, nevertheless you are
back in the field of arriving at
some sort of political solution
without further war"
Gen. Collins testified that be-
cause Gen. Macarthur violated
a policy" the Joint Chiefs feared
he might commit some other pol
icy violation "of a more serious
nature"
He made the statement after
Senator Cain. Republican. of
Washington. told him he had I'M
Intentionally done "a first-rate
Ratchet job" on Gen Macarthur
in his testimony Fridey when he
said that the latter went against
"a clear directive" from the Joint
Chiefs that only South Korean
troops were to be used IN the last
miles of the U. N. northward push
last November
Yesterday, the general said it
was "abundantly clear" that Gen.
Macarthur a did not follow a
policy clearly enunciated by the
Chiefs" and (2) did not notify
his superiors what he was doing:
No Military Disobedience
Senators returned again and!
again to the point Gen. Mac
Arthur's critics have charged,
and the general denied, that the
Chinese Reds might have re-
Trained from coming into the
Korean war if allied troops had
halted their advance at some
point south of the Yalu river.
Gen. Collins stressed, under re-
peated questioning by several
Senators. that he did not mean
to accuse Gen. Macarthur OF
disobeying a military order but
he Still holds the opinion that
the former commander did not
follow matter of policy which
had been clearly delineated to
him in a directive.
The general said further:
Il think this was one indica-
ton among many others, which
certainly have been clear, that
Gen. Macarthur has not in con-
sonance with the basic policies. !
They led US gradually to fear
that-just as he violated policy
Ill this case without consulting
uS-perhaps the thing might be
done in some other instance of a
more serious nature"
Explains Reason for Policy.
Gen. Collins gave the Joint
Chiefs reasons for suggesting why
Gen. Macarthur should not push
all the way to the Yalu River dur
ing questioning by Senator Morse
Republican, of Oregon.
He said it was thought the Chi
nese Communists might feel I'VE
were doing some propaganda" and
would cross the Yalu-if we got
up there. - He added that the
river crossing could have been
dominated by artillery fire if the
U. N. forces had been halted in
the hills some few miles back from
the Yalu.
Senator Morse pointed out that
Gen. Collins, after returning from
one of his four trips to Korea. had :
testified before the Senate Armed
Services Committee on that point.
He added that the Army chief had
said the u. N forces would avoid
1.-The danger of Communist pro- 7
paganda that We had territorial
designs on the other side of the /,
Yalu' if they stopped some dis .
lance short of the river.
That is correct Gen. Collins
remarked. /.
Morse Clashes With Colleagues.
Senator Morse added that the
Collins testimony before the Sen
ate committee had been given
before Gen. Macarthur advanced
toward the river. Both Senators
Wiley of Wisconsin and Know K
land of California, Republicans,
disagreed, and Senator Morse I
said he would insist on complet- {
ing his statement without inter- 1
ruptions. 4
The Oregon Republican noted
that Gen. Collins had testified
earlier that Gen. Macarthur had .
not been given ANY mandatory"
order not to advance American )
troops las far north in Korea as 6
he advanced" but that the Joint Il
Chiefs had made it clear "it was !
their desire as a matter of policy
