Wedemeyer Charges Truman Responsible • \ Cites Responsibility For War In Korea LOS Calif. UP — Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer said the Truman administration is responsible for the Korean war and denied that Dwight D. Elsenhower was responsible fqr the decision to withdraw occupation troops from Korea in 1949. I [ Wedemeyer! Sunday night accused President, Truman of making “political blunders” which led to the “hapless” conflict. The* administration suppressed his 1947 report on China and Korea, Wedemeyer charged. He spoke on a nationwide radio broadcast sponsored by the Republican senatorial committee. Wedemeyer tbld the radio audience his China and Korean report called for: [ 1 Maintenance of military forces in Korea. 2 “Moral and material” aid to the Chinese Nationalists led by Chiang Kai-Shek, “that gallant leader of free China.” 3 Creation of an “effective” South Korean army. Wedemeyer said he warned the withdrawal of American forces would lead to occupation of South Korea by either Soviet troops or North Korean units trained by the Russians. . Wedemeyer said his recommendations were not carried out because U. S.* political and military policies were one of "appeasement of the Communists.” He said the decision to withdraw U. S. troops from Korea was made in) 1£47 by the joint chiefs, of staff fronir \ whom the administration withheld his report. Members of the joint chiefs of staff at that time were five-star General Eisenhower, 'Adm. Chester Nimitz and Air Force Glen. Carl Spaatz. ! Both President Truman and the secretary of state warned >-him against revealing contents of the report, Wedemeyer said. He said that, based on the only information they had, the joint chiefs of staff! made the proper movti from “a| purely military” point of view, but that President Truman should not. bave approved it because he had the Wedemeyer report in hand. Wedemeyer, who supported Seri. Robert A. Taft in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination urged all factions of the GOP to vote for Eisenhower. who recognizes that “a quick and honorable” solution' must be reached’ in the Korean war. He also urged the election of all Republican candidates for the senate and house cf representatives, specifically naming Sen. Harry Cain of Washington and Sen. Zales Nelson.
