MacARTHUR IGNORED GENERAL STAFF WARNING The long, drawn-out investigation of the removal ‘of Géxeral Douglas MacArthur has been largely confined te-the conflict between his views on policy and that of the Administration, but, in answer to pointed questions on the last day of his testimony, General Omar N. Brad- * Jey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, admitted, un- der pressure of Senator J. William Fulbright, of Arkansas, that there was criticism’of General MacArthur’s conduct of battle operations. It will be recalled that the Chinese Communist at- tack rolled ip * sipp! tovovember 26th and on Novem- ber 29th rad ae ; — 30th. The Joint Chiefs in Washing summer |... M8 Crowley MacArthur that the Eighth Arm\uation, oe. ne mother about to be outflank- ed and the corp¥’éxp sed. » The strategy of General MacArthur ifvolved the split of these forces in the face of the massive and unexpected Chinese Communist invasion. When advised of the con- .¢ern of the Joint Chiefs, that the two forces would be split, ~~ General MacArthur replied that (1) there was-no point viptrying to raise an unbroken , Allied Jine,.across the "glefilusula of Korey aed. (2) thiit'the enemy-wopld find it “extremely difficult” because’ of the’ terrain, to take any material advantage” of the situation as to the Tenth Corps. '{/As- everybody knows, who; has. kept up with the fighting in Korea; ithe enemy did take advantage of the situation by driving between the forces and_ isolating them. Military experts, including General Bradley, agree that, as a result, American arms suffered a great setback and heavy casualties. Moreover, Senator Fulbright brought out, by his questions, that both of the points rejected by General MacArthur—a solid Allied line and material advantage to the enemy—had, in fact, come about. We would not suggest that General MacArthur was incompetent because of this mistake. It is easy to use «“thindsight” to condemn the decisions of any campaign “doiiimander, but, just the same, a general in the field, when warned by the Chiefs of Staff, who nevertheless persists in his own decisions, must assume responsibility for the consequences. In the case of Korea and Chinese intervention, the result was the disastrous defeat of our army and the infliction of severe losses upon our fighting men, ~w-etbhe judgment of the Joint Chiefs is further-enhanced by. the fact tHat, sinee the command in Korea passed |ta GEiexal Matthew B.

In neither case, however, has the enemy been able to score a single success and in both instances, ter- fible losses have been inflicted upon the Chinese, NO SIGN OF RUSSIAN REVOLT 2“.
