Of Red China Recognition

WASHINGTON (AP) Louis Johnson testified Fri
day that as secretary of Defense h feared the United
States was moving toward recognition of Red China.
Johnson told the senate's MacArthur inquiry that e ! f-'
"never knew of any decision by the State department, de-i $ t-v

Johnson was dismissed from the
defense post last September. His
exit from President Truman's cab
inet is widely reported to have re
sulted in part from hi differences
with Secretary of State Acheson.
Johnson also told the senators
1. Gen. 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. And before
publication of the final draft, John
son said he raised "the question of
the political advisability of the document.
Paper On Formosa raise
3. He regards as a "false docu
ment" the State department mem
orandum of Dec. 23, 1949 which
forecast the fall of Nationalist-held
Formosa to the Communists and
instructed employes to discount the
strategic value of the island.
4. He asked the joint chiefs of
staff to review the question of send
ing a military inquiry mission to
Formosa in 1949 after a decision
first in favor of it, and later
against it. Johnson said he thought
the decision against sending the
mission "was following political
considerations and not the military
security of the United States."

THE CLOAKES FERRY tract on mile west of Roseburg is a homejite development of comparative
ly recent date, having been mad available about three years ago by Warren Cloake, who placed
42 lots of orchard and pasture land adoinmg the South River on sal. The upper left photo it a gen
eral view from th westerly slopes of Mt. Nebo. Forty homes, torn of which ar pictured her, hav
been built or ar under construction to date. Types vary from small and simple four and five room
six to laborat home! with larg rooms, big windows, patios and doubl garages. Various build
ing contractors hav purchased lots and erected houses for sal to prospective buyers; in most
cases individuals hav bought thir lots, then contracted with whomsoever they wished for th
building. Th lots ar not larg, about th six of th average town lot. Much of th area is on th
tit of a fin walnut grove and th larg trees quit generally hav been saved, and utilixed for
their natural shad and decoration. (Picture by Paul Jenkins).

MacArthur's forces plunged 0 n
toward the Manchurian border,
and later the (liinese Reds poured
across, entered the fighting in
force, and created what MacArthur
called a new war.
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. Beauti
fully done."

General had offered the fomula
to the Reconstuciton Finance

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

mand for vital raw materials such
as butadiene and styrene, and with

Had the formula been accepted
by the RFC last year, O'Neil said.
the American taxpayer now would '
have been saved millions of dol
