This was during retreat No. 1 of the 8th Army when UN forces raced 120 miles southward. General MacArthur's “own confi- dential dispatches to the Penta- gon give credence to some of these British news accounts. During one point in the retreat of the 8th Army shortly before Christmas, MacArthur actually sent his field commander, the late Lieut.; ro) North Manchuria to the 38th Gen, Walton Walker, a blistering cable ordering him to make con- tact with the enemy and be “ag- gressive” about it. MacArthur even used the command “I direct” in his message to Walker; also ordered him to “give high priority to bring- ing in prisoners.” It is most unusual for a head- quarters commander to give such blunt orders as “I direct” to a field commander. Attacks Exaggerated Another significant point brought out in MagArthur's rejbrts to Washington is that, during the ev- acuation of the Hungnam beach- head, never were the UN forces attacked by any Chinese force stronger than a company. Pres dispatches from Hungnam made it appear that the Chinese were throwing masses of troops at UN lines which fought desperately to hold the beachhead. However, MacArthur’s own reports to Wash- ington do not bear this out. He states that no more than one Chin- ese company attacked the beach- head, and that not a single Ameri- can casualty was suffered during the evacuation. Though the 10th Corps fought one of the most valiant withdrawals in history to Hungndm, the real story of the 8th Army's retreat is not so glorious. Its difficulties were due in part to poor liaison, poor command, and to the inevitable problems which arise when troops of different nationalities are fight- ing side by side. Initial error was MacArthur’s failure to provide for direct battle liaison between General Walker's 8th Army and Maj. Gen. Almond's 10th Corps. Walker, though a Lieut. enant Geenral outranking Almond, was not placed in command, each had to communicate back to Tokyo. And with the 8th Army advanc- ing west in fanned-out formation toward the Manchurian border, and the 10th Corps advancing north to- ward the Siberian border, the Chin- ese cleverly hit in between. Friction with South Koreans If UN forces had been advanc- ing in a compact front, instead of fanned out, the result might have been different. But on top of thls, the 2nd Division of the 8th Army panicked, It had been left behind as a rear guard for the 8th Army with South Korean units on its flank. Friction developed between the South Koreans and the Ameri- cans, including fist fights, and the Americans were finally ordered to keep away from the South®Kor- | 4 ) f {sth Army This led to loss of contact be- tween the two, so that the 2nd Di- vision did not know the South Kor- eans had dropped back, leaving the Americans’ flank exposed. This gave the Chinese a chance to in- filtrate, and the 2nd Division pan- icked and ran. Four Battalions unhooked their field artillery and made a dash for the south, It was while thus run- ning that the 2nd Division suf- fered most of its casualties~which amounted to over 50 percent and caused MacArthur to cable Wash- ington that the 2nd Division was “unfit for further duty.” This terse message may have had a double meaning—namely that the 2nd Division was not only decimated by battle casualties but unfit for further combat duty be- causé of bad morale. Note U. S. Army estimates of Chinese Army which faced the UN 8th Army at akout 96,000 men. The at .that time numbered about 100,000 combat troops. This was during the December retreat parallel. Washingten Pipeline The Associated Press and United Press are equally checking wheth- er their war correspondents are padding expense accouuts. The two wire services have asked the Army for a confidential report on what it costs for a war correspondent in the field, in order to compare with the expenses that the AP and UP men have been turning in. . . william Paley, head of Columbia Broadcasting, is in line to head up a new and very potent psychol-‘ ogical warfare bureau. ..
