Seattle, Wash. Thursday, §April 26, —_— A good many youths in high school and college these days don't see much point in education or in studying hard because they expect to be in uniform sooner or later.

In fact, they favored | pulltng out of Korea altogether.' However, despite, individual and) sometimes confusing differences of opinfon inside the Pentagon there| appears to be no occasion when the joint chiefs of staff actually went| on record in favor of MacArthur’s | proposals to bomb Chinese bases and use Chiang Kai-Shek's troops. | MacArthur's Proposals ' In order to get as clear a picture as possible regarding the working of the joint chiefs of staff and their policy toward MacArthur, here is a breakdown on how the Jjoint chiefs reacted to various of MacArthur's proposals: Bombing Chinese Bases — The nearest the joint chiefs ever came | to okaying MacArthur's proposed kombing of Chinese bases was on Feb. 28. Just before that date, Mac- | Arthur hac sent a long report on enemy air strength now capable of | 650 sorties daily. He reported cer- tain strength building up in cer- tain areas and in effect asked per- mission to bomb these bases. Replying on Feb. 28, the joint chiefs gave MacArthur a set of five alternatives to counter the Chinese moves. Since these would ,be of | value to the enemy, they cummbK be described here. But in each of | the five alternatives, MacArthur | was instructed to take no action on the Chinese side of without reporting ba the chiefs for further iSEHiction: Naval Blockade —-Amoiher. ques- tion at issue in the Korean war has been a naval blockade of Chi- nese ports. On this, there was agreement. Both the joint chiefs and the State Department okayed a naval blockade but it was vetoed by our allies in the United Nations. This was one of the proposals for which Secretary Acheson fought hardest when Prime Minister Att- lee visited Washington. However, Attlee flatly refused to approve any naval blockade of China Hot Pu —Another point of 2 hur and of An 0 pursue Com- mur nd the Chinese border w aged in a running not include the Chinese bases.

For- rest Sherman has pointed out that it would take an armada of Ameri- man vessels to transport them to China. Finally, the joint chiefs’ study of Chiang’s combat strength does not jibe with published claims of 600,- 00 men. According to Pentagon estimates it is nearer 250,000 men. It is also recalled that much of the military equipment we furn- ished Chiang during the war ended upriiry therhands of the Commun- ists. Different Personalities Those close to the joint chiefs of staff point out that they are composed of four different men of varying ages and personalities. Gen. Joe Collins, for instance, Chief of Staff of the Army, was a Lieutenant when MacArthur was a General. When Collins went to Tokyo he was technically MacArthur's su- perior, though he always addressed MacArthur as = “General” while MacArthur called him “Joe.” Collins is the member of the joint chiefs who has agreed with MacArthur more than anyone else. He has expressed the private be- lief that Russia would not inter- vene if we bombed China, and is reported to have expressed oral agreement with MacArthur on var- ious points during conferences in Tokyo. Admiral Sherman, Naval operations, hand, has been flatly opposed to| MacArthur's position, while Cven-‘ eral Bradley is almost as vigorous.| Bradley has said privately that| if he were in MacArthur's shoes he would probably feel as he does. | But, as chairman of the joint chiefs | of staff, he cannot agree, since he has to consider the entire world and how best to parcel out our limited strength. | The last thing Bradley wants, he has made it clear, is to get sucked | into a war on the Chinese main- | land.
