Public The Washinglon Merry-Go-Round (Oontinued from Page One) out dragging China into an all-out war. To have bombed Chinese bases across the Yalu River meant such a war—which was why MacArthur | never got an answer to his mes- sage. China Warned In September First time question of war with China came up was when the U. S. Ambassador in India, Loy Hen- derson, was advised by Prime Min- ister Nehru that China would de- finitely enter the Korean war if UN forces crossed the 38th parallel. Nehru's information came from his ambassador in Peiping, Sardar Pan- niker. The warning was ignored, how- ever, because the State Department considered Ambassador Panniker a stooge for the Chinese Commun- ists and believed that the message was a bluff. Instead, Ambassador Henderson was instructed to find out through the Indian govern- ment what the Chinese intentions were and how we might avoid war‘ with them, These negotiations produced noth- ing, but they took time. They also caused difference No. 1 with Mac Arthur. For MacArthur was chaimg| at the bit over failure to receive definite authorization to cross the 38th parallel. As a compromise, Washington, orn October 1, OK'd the use of South Korean troops only north of thej 38th parallel; and later, on October 4, the UN passed a resolution giving the green light to the full use of MacArthur’s army. 40-Mile Neutrality Zone However, the State Department, foreseeing trouble when the UN army approached the Yalu River Namely! HIWto i Kbtéd with-'} zone agreea upon ‘at Wake Tsland | | of the joint chiefs of staff to abide | | invaded North Korea with Soviet the area, Then when the South Koreans got into trouble with chw enemy, he asked Washington’s m\x-‘ mission to send American troops | into the neutrality zone to rescué | them. This was how the 40-mile buffer | evaporated. It is always the policy | by the judgement of the field com- | mander, and in each case they de-| ferred to MacArthur’s judgment. In | each case, also, MacArthur was careful to ask permission from Washington before he advanced in- to a restricted area. As a result, MacArthur per- mitted light U. 8. columns to strike | north toward the Manchurian bor- der on October 25. These columns included the 1st Cavalry, 24th In- fantry and Marine units. The tac- tic was to reach the border swiftly in order to permit a quick an- nouncement that the war was over. Chinese Retaliate However, these units penetrating almost to the Chinese border, be- came so overextended and were sO light in strength, that Chinese | Communists, popping out of the hills and crossing the Yalu River, cut them to pieces. This was ex- actly what the State Department and our French-British Allies had feared. | On October 30, MacArthur’s spok- esman for the first time admitted the presence of Chinese troops in heavy strength, Actually they had been in North Korea for about 10/ days, and Washington now inter- prets MacArthur’s sudden statement that three Chinese divisions had tanks, self-propelled guns, bazookas and mine-layers as propaganda to cover up a bad military blunder. Actually the Chinese troops did not have this heavy Soviet equip- ment. Difference No. 3 came at about this time when the State Depart- ment proposed to MacArthur that he issue a statement informing | and the big power dams which supply electricity to most of Man- churia, worked out a plan whereby MacArthur was to halt his troops in the mountains of North Korea' about 40 miles from the Manchur- jan border. This was cne of the matters agreed upon by MacArthur and Truman during the Wake Is- land conference. At Wake Island, MacArthur expressed confidence that the Chihese would not at- tack in North Korea. He said he was thoroughly familiar with Chinese psychology and that they were only bluffing. About 24 hours after Wake Is- land, however, small Chinese units did cross into North Korea, but MacArthur refused to believe these reports of Red intervention. And, for about 10 days, MacArthur's assurance to Washington that there was no real Chinese ntervention led to a false understanding of the | entire Korean picture. Difference No. 2 arose from this situation. MacArthur bélieved his incidentally, own reports so implicitly that hel asked Washington's permission to send South Korean troops into the so-called neutrality zone on and on the basis that no Rerl' troops of any importance were in the Chinese that UN forces did not | intend to take the big power dams | in the Yalu River. The State De-| partment made this proposal in the belief that the Chinese were chiefly intent on protecting these big reservoirs, and Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the joint| chiefs of staff, interrupted a hunl-{ ing trip to come back to the Penta- | gon building and relay the mes: | to MacArthur. | Mac Says “No” | seni back “Do mot | MacArthur, nowever, the following curt reply concur.” | Military men, justifying MacAr- | thur's stand, point out that thej State Department proposal should have come sooner, that by that time Chinese troops were already in North Korea. On the other hand, the State Department points out privately, the original 40-mile neutrality zone, which MacArthur disregarded, provided that our troops were to keep away from the Manchurian border and thus avois . thur more or less military police duty,;when he issued his scathing blast friction.
