Marines in Korea Accused of Trying
To Hog Air Support
Ex-AF Aide
All but Asks Their Ouster
By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov 24 — A former Assistant Secretary of the Air Force charged today that Marine commanders in Korea are trying to grab air support at the expense of all other ground units, He ail but proposed that the Marines be pulled out of Korea. Harold C. Stuart reported that Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, Far East Commander. has rejected Marine demands for a volume of air cover that would have been “five times” their share and “would have wrecked the over-all military program.” It could have been granted only.
at “tragic expense” to other. units,
he said. Mr. Stuart is president of the Air Force Association, a veter-
ans organization. He has just returned from a month-long tour in the Far East. : New Tactical Concept In an article in the AFA publication “Air Force,” he reported that Gen. Ridgway and Lt. Gen. James A. Van Fleet, 8th Army commander, have put into effect a new tactical concept under which ground fores hold the line while air power carries the war to the enemy. ” Gen. Van Fleet ruled that only 100 airplane sorties (individual flights) a day would be
{to cover the 8th Army front while {all others would carry on a war
of attrition against the enemy
jfrem the Red front lines to the
Yalu River. :
No Special Missions Assigning a fixed number of planes to any unit, regardless of the battle situation, “would deprive other divisions of sorely needed air support and would Cause unnecessary sacrifice of American lives,” Mr. Stuart said. “And yet, Marine leaders in Korea strongly pursued their ob jective even after the new limitation on close support sorties had been ordered by Gen. Van Fleet.” Marines are trained as a {separate force for specific short{range missions, he said. He said ithat in Korea there is no place jfor separate forces and, aside {from the Inchon invasion in Sep|tember, 1950, there have been no special missions. Mr. Stuart carefully explained {that he was not reflecting on the “great courage and skill” of Marines in Korea. The problem is |“confined to command level” and jarises from the fact that there |{are few planes for the job to be done, he said.
Doubts Accuracy Of Stuart Remark
TOKYO, Sunday, Nov. 25 (UP) —A claim by a former assistant secretary of the Air Force that Marines in Korea are demanding close air support at the ‘expense of other units “does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Far East Air Force,” a spokesman said today. Assistant Secretary Harold C. Stuart was making . his statements as a private individual,
Judge Joseph Howard, 8nd not as an Air Force. official,
the spokesman pointed out. He added Mr. Stuart was not entirely accurate in saying Lt. Gen, James A. Van Fleet, ‘8th Army Commander, had ruled that only 100 sorties would be given front line troops each day. Actually, the spokesman said, less planes have been needed for close support in view of the relatively static position of the front lines during the past weeks. On the other hand, he said he was sures that if the ground forces needed more close air support, they would get what they asked for.
