Americans Seen in No Shape to Deliver Quick Knock-Out Blow

By Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, July 8 — Here's why we may be

fighting for a long time:

ONE: It's clear we're in no shape to deliver quick,

knock-out punch in Korea.

Our military men grossly

underestimated North Korean forces, grossly overesti-

mated South Koreans.

Despite public statements, we're writing off Seuth Koreans as a fighting force. Too many have no idea why they're fighting; detest Rhee regime, have no stomach for battle. No reliable estimates here as to how long

before we can get enough men and equipment to Korea |

to stop northerners.:

TWO: If North Koreans are defeated, United Nations may decide to do away with 38th parallel line, hold new, nation-wide

elections.

It voted in 1948 to do this, but Russia, then in control of northern section, refused to let United Nations Korean commis-

sion enter.

United Nations troops (so far that means us) are

expected to garrison the country till there's no further danger

no of disturbance,

THREE: Fighting may start in other parts of the world any moment. ‘Chinese Communists HOEY CATIA Formosa paid we'd fight there); native Iranian Reds may be told to march on Teheran (we promised just this week we would not desert existing government); it might come in Berlin, Yugoslavia, half a dozen other. spots. And United Nations is now committed to resist with force. (Again, that's us, for the most part.)

Caught Flat-Footed

Some of the reasons -we're-in-bad. shape:

why

ONE: Despite earlier ‘boast- T

ing, our intelligence is’ poor. Korean push caught us flatfooted. In satellite countries, as well as in Russia, people who could give us information have been expelled, shot, or imprisoned. Bulgaria could jump off against Yugoslavia,

for instance, and we wouldn't |

know till fighting started. TWO: Postwar U. 8. military thinking shows up poorly in first test. Army turned down South Korean request for anti-tank guns on ground tanks couldn't operate in Korean mountains. North Koreans are showing how wrong Army was. And World War 11 bazookas aren't stopping postwar Russian - made tanks. “Also Army has been saying tanks are obsolete, But squashhead atomic anti-tank shells, supposed to wipe out the tanks, are still on U. 8. drawing boards, And big question of whether we've relied too much on air power is up again. Air Force has implied all other services were out of date, but so far it has taken worst beating in Korean fighting. Even its own pet planes show up badly. Air Force has found jets too fast, has been calling up old World War II planes that fly slow enough to let gunners sight their targets.

‘Business as Usual’

INDUSTRIAL’ mobilization? Stuart Symington, chairman of the , National Security Resources Board, made strong plea this week for speeding up plans for it. President Truman said “business as usual.” But drafting of men was discounted too--right up to the moment order was ‘issued. If Army's organized reserve is called, it will prove topheavy with brass. Congress -appropriated $2.4 million last year to pay 28,500 officers and 201,500 enlisted men.

Korean War Shows Red Armies Have Come of Age;

Logistics Feed

~ Sustained Drives

By GORDON CUMMING Compiled From the Wire Services - The Korean war was teaching Americans today one of the most important lessons of the Chinese civil war -— that

Asia's new Communist armies

have come of age. As Americans come to understand it United States leaders may be forced radically to readjust their long range policy. The Chinese Communists worked for 22 years to build this “people's liberation army” now numbering roughly 5 million men. The lessons learned

and the tactics developed by ’

Chinese Red military leaders have become the “bible” of

* Communist forces in Asia.

Some of the engagements of

the last two years of the Chi-

nese civil war were major battles even by World Wars I and II standards. Battles that sealed the fate of Manchuria in October, 1948, were fought with tanks, large concentrations of artillery and many of the latest World War 11 tactics. The “Suchow Battles” Central China and December,

in November 1948, involved

The Communists themselves pushed off with roughly one million, in their offensive south a ze ver in April and May of 1949, Master Logistics The offensive with which the Communists conquered Shanghai, Nanking, and Hankow involved the use of large concentrations of artillery.

Chinese Communist generals by then also had mastered the logistics of supplying masses of men in sustained offensives ~- something the Nationalists did on a smaller scale against Japan only with extensive U, 8, Army assistance, "The Communists also Tetained ‘the successful tactics of their guerrilla days. For intelligence and the sabotage of :memy rear service forces and some supply, the Communists bow to no superior. To top it off, Red armies are now some of whom American officers rate on a par with those anywhere in the world. > Meanwhile, substantial information indicates that the Chi-

- nese Communists are proceed-

tions for. invasion of Formosa,

Albert Ravenholt, Times npecial correspondent, reported today from Hong Kong. : President Truman ordered the United States Tth Fleet to prevent. Red armies from doing just that. Reds Often Dogged Reports indicate the Chinese Communists intend to capture

Formosa partly because they...

claim it as Chinese territory. But mueh more important is their determination to destroy the Chiang Kai-shek regime that blocks their path to world recognition as the government of China. The Chinese Communists’ often - have demonstrated a dogged, stubborn determination to win through to their

objectives ‘that sometimes de-

fies Western understanding. There-are indications” that this become an important factor in their bid for For= mosa. From Hong Kong, Mr, Ravensholt. writes, it looks as if the Chinese Communists’ ing of the American hand faces the United States with the following rough alternatives: " ONE: The U. S. can withdraw ifs fleet from Formosa Strait and avoid intervention in the Chinese civil war. TWO: The U. 8. can eliminate Chiang Kai-shek's regime and attempt to work toward 3a

observers believe that the kick-off came when North Koreans invaded South Korea armed wit Soviet-made weapons. Nations bordering the Soviet Union and its satellites are watching the outcome of American efforts to return Korea to the rule of reason under law.

THE United States today weighed a Chinese Nationalist appeal . for modification of President Truman's order that Chiang Kai-shek’'s Formosa forces cease all military operations against the Communistheld Chinese mainland. The request was handed to Dean Rusk, Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs, by Chinese Ambassador Wellington Koo, diplo-

matic informants disclosed ,in

Washington yesterday. In. ordermg the Seventh U. 8. Fleet last week to block any Communist attempt to invade Formosa, President Truman said the fleet also would gee that Chiang's forces

THE Moscow press yesterday bitterly assailed Trygve Lie and the United Nations Security Council and reported that Soviet workers have pledged to double and triple their labor “in the cause of peace.” Lev O’Shanin, writing in the Literary Gazette, ridiculed Mr, Lie’'s recent European peace tour as: ONE: A diversion to detract attention from America’s prep-

aration for war in the Far East, TWO: A maneuver to win

re-election as Secretary General at the next Assembly session. 3 Mr. -O'Shanin’'s article was called “The ‘greatness’ and fall of Trygve Lie.” © Konstantin ~ Simonov, plavwright, excoriated the members of ‘the Security Council who voted for United Nations intervention in Korea in an article which used the words “bloody fools —— kind fools -“- vicious fools—dangerous fools.” Mr. Simonov listed the names

of the six men who voted aye from Cuba, Ecuador, Norway, France, Britain and the U. 8. - “now, before it is too late, because day after tomorrow nobody will remember them.”

WALDEMAR J. GALLMAN, U. 8. ambassador to Poland, said yesterday at Frankfort, Germany, that the Polish ground and air forces are being reorganized “in line with the Soviet Union's.” ; A special Army plane flew Mr. Gallman to Frankfurt from Warsaw, He was on his way to Washington for what he called routine consultation with the state department. He said the Polish people were resisting the transformation of their country into a “people's democracy.”
