‘Not a Gl Will Be Needed’
Tell Peking
61st YEAR—NUMBER 289 a
to Get Out
Or Else, Says Chennault
Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault, who started fighting Japanese aggression in the China skies more than four years before Pearl Harbor, testified before a closed meeting of the Senate Armed Services Committee last week on Chinese
By MAJ. GEN. C. L. CHENNAULT, (Ret.) Written for the Scripps-Howard Newspapers
PIEDMONT, Cal.——The Chinese Reds should be given one final chance to get out of Korea peacefully, in the form of an “either-or” ultimatum from the United States to Peking. If the Reds refuse— and this should be the alternative part of our ultimatum— the U 8 should proceed at once to help China cure herself of the Red plague which now threatens the world. But we should put no American troops in China. They are not needed. As a basis for discussion and planning, 1 propose the following steps which I believe the U. 8S. government should take. If the “either” part doesn’t work (and I am not sure that it won't) then the “or” part, in my opinion, offers the best and cheapest opportunity, short of a new world war, that we have of restoring balance to the Far East and deterring Russian aggression in Europe.
The ‘Either’
Advise the Chinese Communist regime that its troops must begin withdrawing from Korea within 72 hours of the ultimatum and complete their withdrawal within two weeks under a cease-fire truce. If Peking complies, the United Nations forces should follow up the Red withdrawal but avoid contact with the Chinese Communists. The United Nations’ line should be carried to the Yalu River boundary and no farther, To insure against entrapment through violation of the truce, no substantial bodies of foreign troops should be risked in occupation of that line.
The ‘Or 7
Gen. Chennault
Failure or refusal to carry out the withdrawal
as requested should be followed by U. S. action, with or without the concurrence and assistance of the other United Nations, as follows: ONE: The U. 8. will agree with:the Chinese Nationalist government on Formosa to arm and supervise the training of Chinese Nationalist forces and all other anti-Communist Chinese willing to fight. “TWO: Under that agreement, the U. 8. will appoint, to deal with the Chinese, a supreme commander, logically Gen. MacArthur, and an assistant, logically Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer who achieved signal success in working with the Chinese in the war with Japan. I propose these two men not merely because of their proven capabilities but because in dealing with the Chinese, personalities are very important. Both generals command the respect and confidence of all Chinese who would fight for freedom. THREE: Under that agreement, the U. S. will also furnish non-combatant technical assistance to the Chinese Nationalists in motor transportation and medical, quartermaster, finance and communications services. Americans will be
wholly responsible for requisitioning‘ and issuing :
weapons and supplies of all categories, FOUR: In co-operation with the Chinese Nationalist government's own naval units, the U. 8S. will blockade the entire coast of mainland China, including insofar as practicable a separation of Hong Kong as a base of foreign supply to the
+ Chinese Reds.
FIVE: Meanwhile the U. 8S, on the more advantageous terrain of central and southern Korea where American airpower and firepower on the ground can be used to greater advantage, will destroy Communist troops and equipment, and at the same time attack centers of war production and transport communications in Manchuria.
Communist aggression and what he thought the U. S. could and should do about it. From Piedmont, Cal., on the eve of his return to the Far East, Gen. Chennault contributed the following exclusive dispatch on bis proposed solution for the Korean crisis. :

Health Board Puts Julietta On Probation |
Limited Approval For County Home Given for 90 Days By BOB BOURNE
| The State Board of Health today put Julietta on proba-

nese guerrilla units in destroying transport, com. munications and other military targets along the coast and in the interior, carefully avoiding attacks on Chinese civilian populations who, for all the Russian propaganda, are still our friends, not Russia’s. y We must put these alternatives up to Peking in our ultimatum and we must carry them out with swiftness and determination if Red China refuses to pull out of Korea.
We Cannot Lose Formosa
We must not USE Chinese to fight commu-nism-—we need only to ENABLE them to do 80. The deliverance of more than 400 million Chinese from the prospect of Communist enslavement and the re-establishment of a democratic government on the mainland of China must be our objectives. ¢ If Peking should comply with the ultimatum, the U. 8. can afford to follow a more restrained policy with regard to the deliverance of China. But under no circumstances can we permit For-
mosa to go under international Communist domi- |
nation.
Red acquisition of Formosa would be a penetration of our’ strategic defense line in Western Pacific which would force us to fall back on the Hawaiian and Aleutian Islands.
In my opinion, the most frightening prospect faced by Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai and their thousands of Russian “advisers” is a return > the China mainland of a Chinese Naonalist army reorganized and fully equipped by the U. 8. : Yup They could not afford to keep their best troops in Korea if that happened. Neither could
they affect British policy with the threat to |
Hong Kong as they do now. Indo-China and Tibet would be automatically relieved of Red pressure. . There have been deep changes. in the feelings of the millions of Chinese people who have been
touched by Communist rule in China. Whereas | they once were passive, their attitude has now |
been changed in three ways:
| The action cam@ in the form of limited approval of] ithe Marion County Home for {residents supported by welfare! | funds. | Approval after the probationary period will depend on compli-! ance by the county commissioners, with a series of State Board of Health recommendations, accord-| ing to a statement today by Dr. |L. E. Burney, State Board of {Health commissioner, | Approval of the home for 1951 {had been held up because of a {special inspection which grew {out of a series of stories in The] {Indianapolis Times.

The State Board of ‘Health and Welfare Department, are withholding their full approv- | {als until some action is taken on | their recommendations. | In making the probationary approval, Dr. Burney said, "It is! {our feeling that either the recom-! {mendations can be met or a de-| |finite plan for meeting them can! be submitted within 90 days.” | | Dr. Burney recommended the {employment of a dietitian or food! {service manager who would have! ‘the responsibility for menu-plan-| ning, food purchasing and prepa-| ‘ration, service and clean-up. | One Central Kitchen | | Last year, the county made an

Gen. Pai Chung-hsi of Kwangsi Province, now in Formosa, is itching to return and lead a million men who, he says, would rise to the Nationalist call in Kwangsi Province alone, Most are already at guerrilla war with the Reds. These forces of Gen. Pal's fought off the crack field army of Gen. Lin-piao for three months south of the Yangtze in 1949 before issuance of the U. 8. State Department’s white paper on China—a final declaration of nonassistance based on a hope of getting along with the Reds—caused Nationalist abandonment of the defense of South China.
Guerrilla Activity Rising
There is other good intelligence that shows a tremendous upsurge of guerrilla activity in many provinces but full realization of this potential will either be long delayed or finally prove futile in the face of growing Communist power unless the U. 8. lifts a hand to help the Chinese help themselves. : For: us to do that would be no more than the Russians have done and are doing for their Peking puppets. But our results would be greater, Moscow's standing with the Chinese people can never. compare with ours. Under any circumstances it would be shortsighted for us to abandon this base of friendship amid the tightening hostilities of a diminishing world, but it would rank as outright foolishness when our very national defense is at stake. The U. 8. still has in China an area of potential initiative and sweeping success against the Kremlin's master plan for the world. It is the one key area of the world where international communism can still be licked without the involvement of a single American infantry soldier.
