Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg said today that there are no tar-|
gets in North Korea to warrant the use of atomic bombs by United Nations forces.
The Air Force Chief of Staff told a néws conference that he could see no justification for 0s-| ing atomic bombs of the kind now stockpiled where the job could be done with conventional weapons. Gen. Vandenberg, who recently inspected the Korean front, said it is impossible for U. 8. planes to gain “true” air supremacy there without bombing Communist air bases in Manchuria. But he said any decision to do 80 is a “policy decision whicn {must be taken by the United {States and its United Nations Allies.” '
Not Yet Lost >
He conceded that U.S. “control {of the air in northwest Korea, al{though by no means lost, is not as firm as it was.” | “Under the ground rules established at the outset of the Korean | War,” he said, “it is impossible {for us to gain air supremacy over {the Chinese Communist air force under the classical definition.”
