Douglas MacArthur took responsibility and carried out the Inchon landing in Korea despite misgivings by the U. S. joint chiefs of staff. He aaid the JCS gave MacArthur a chance to call it off a week before it was launched. 2. He questioned the "accuracy" of an early draft of the State de partment's 1949 "white paper" on China. This document was a bulky account of developments in China and contained a good deal of material highly critical of Chi- and Kai-shek's Nationalist govern ment. Johnson said some of the material in the Defense depart ment's files conflicted with things in the proposed draft.

Johnson discussed the Inchon landing in an exchange of ques tions with Senator Knowland R Calif) and gave this personal esti mate of the maneuver: "When the history of this gen eration and of this war is writ ten, there is nothing that was more brilliant in its conception and ex ecution with even the weather and the fates playing with us than the Inchon landing.

Ont., and Canadian rubber manufactur ers ar starting to adapt it to their tire and rubber operalions. General had offered the fomula to the Reconstuciton Finance Corp., but decided to develop it in Canada because the RFC took no action, said W. O'Neil, general president. O'Neil said that one compound of the new product ". . . gives 32 percent more tires. These tires wear 18 percent longer, and are produced at 31 pecent lower rub ber cost." He declared the product Is I proven meana of increasing pro duction without increasing the de mand for vital raw materials such as butadiene and styrene, and with out necessitating the building o f new plants. Had the formula been accepted by the RFC last year, O'Neil said. the American taxpayer now would ' have been saved millions of dol lars. It would hav alleviated the rub ber shortage, and plastics mold- . ers. now dependent on the syn- thetie rubber component, styrene. i would not be faced with drastic I curtailment of business, he added.
