However benevolent our rule may be, it is still a conqueror’s rule wi hich limits the freedom of the con- quered and its indefinite prolongation can only in- crease suspicion and provide new grist for Soviet pro- paganda mills.

Sen. Lyndon John- of Texas, "himself a Naval| mander in the Pacific, has b atively picked os the comunittee | irman to do the probing, and ..e are some of the things he .1 be asked to examine 1.

It is reported that | vy orders placed for the smaller »o0ka and not countermanded ard the end of the war is part ne answer. These factories just 1 on making useless bazookas. . Tanks—During most of War U. S. tanks were inferior to! an tanks, while the Russians ucly chided us regarding the -lease tanks we sent her.

In brief, the Pentagon planners were woefully asleep. 4. Air Force—MacArthur had the largest chunk of U. S. air power to be found anyplace in the world when the Korean war started. But for many agonizing days at the kept on the ground. This was not due to bad weather alone, but to the fact that MacArthur feared a Russian air strike at Japan. Many military men disagreed with him on this, pointing out that planes over Korea required only an hour to get back to defend Japan, and that time in the Korean war was ‘prieeless. 5. Slow Troop Movements—In the' first weeks of Korean fighting, troops’ moved from Japan to Korea with tragic slowness. From Japan to Korea is only 120 miles—the dis- tanice to Rhiladelphia from Wash- ington—huk at' that crucial time whenl we had more bases In Korea, troops moved in driblets. Mac- fxcuse was that he feared an nttap ‘on Japan, ‘though many in Washington argued that Moscew would never risk our atom bomb and a world war by attacking 6. Top officers—The U. S. Air Force commander in Japan is Gen. George Stratemeyer, who occupied a relatively noncombat berth during the war in the China-India Thea- tre. He is not a skilled tactical commander but, despite this, the Air Force has kept him on in Korea—some explain because he has the knack of getting along with MacArthur. Gen. Walton Walker, MacArthur’s ground force ‘commander, though seeing important European service under Patton, is not considered one of the Army’s top men. In Japan He. was noted for having the best hossedn the Tokyo-Yokohama area, having commandeered it from the head of Standard Oil and refused to relinquish it. Americans who lunched with him were awed by the general's luxurious surround- | including the fact that eight geisha girls stood bowing at the door as the guests entered, not lifting their heads until the guests had passed. The old jungle commanders who brought MacArthur’s troops up from the southwest Pacific and who are skilled in the current type of Korean fighting are not with him anymore; and at least one of them, | Gen. Robert Eichelberger, hero of | Buna, has made it quite clear that | he would not care to serve under MacArthur again. | Inquiring senators feel that the lives of hundreds of heroic G. L's; i and combat officers could have been saved by more planning, more preparedness, and more forthright- ness at the top.
