Red China Trouble
With Russia Likely
Compiled by A1 Karr
From the wires of AmocUtod Press
Evidence is mounting in Washington. D. C., that China s Com
munist government is running into trouble both with Russia and
with the Chinese people as well.
Government officials deeply concerned about when and how
the Korean war may be ended apper divided in their estimats
as to what the eventual effect on the Korean situation may he.
One body of opinion is that throuble between Russia and China
—the possibilities of which Secretary of State Acheson has been
talking about for more than a vear—could lead to a decision on
the part of the men at Peiping to cut their losses by entering intc
negotiations for a Korean peace. It would not surprise some of
his associates if Acheson developed that possibilty when he ap
pears at the MacArthur hearing. .....
A somewhat different emphasis on the possibilities of the situ
ation was placed by Secretary of Defense Marshall last week
when he warned that any Red Chinese feeling that the Russians
have let them down would inject an additional element of danger
into the Korean situation.
This reasoning is that the Russians might consider it necessary
to increase substantially the assistance they have been gi\ ing the
Communist forces in Korea.
Allied Artillery and Airpower Pounded ...
... at comparatively small Chinese forces along the Korean.front Sun
day while the U. S. Eighth Army stiffened its line for an expected all
out Red assault.
Just when the communists would unleash their 500,000-man force in
a new offensive was anyone's guess. The buildup of Red troops on the
western and central fronts looked almost complete.
A high and responsible source at U. S. Eighth Army headquarters .
told AP Correspondent Nate Polowetsky the Reds now were capable of i
resuming their southward drive anytime they chose.
It could come within the next few days, or the Reds, conscious of the
staggering losses suffered in their first spring offensive launched Apr.
22, might wait a week or two.
Reconnaissance planes uncovered a brand new communist airfield
being rushed to completion at Ryong, 25 miles northeast of the Red
Korean capital at Pyongyang. Thirteen B-29 superforts paid an uninvited
call on the Red airstrip and cratered it with 130 tons of bombs.
Some Senators Are Beqinning to Wonder. . .
how to go about getting the MacArthur firing inquiry finished up
and whether anything conclusive will ever come out of it.
Two of them, from opposite sides of the political fence, raised those
questions in separate interviews Sunday as the hearings headed into a
new week with Secretary of Defense Marshall still on the griddle after
six days of questioning:
Senator Flanders (R-Vt.)—“It's just like the war in Korea-there
seems to be no way to terminate it. Our questions are leading us into
fields that are vague, indefinite and purposeless.”
Senator Gillette (D-Iowa)—“I'm afraid we’re getting far afield be
cause Senate committees are not a high board of stretegy and we re not
competent to pass upon how to fight a war, even if we have the authority
—and that’s doubtful."
Spurred bv Strong Pressure ...
T. . by the United States, for action, the U. N. takes up this week a
crucial debate on a proposed world-wide arms embargo against Red
China. It is expected to be approved by the General Assembly but only
after vigorous opposition from the Soviet bloc.
Britain and France, after long opposition, decided last week to go
along with the United States on the issue of the arms embargo. The re
strictions would apply also to materials used in the war effort or in pro
ducing arms and atomic energy. The British government, once having
decided to accept the United States ideas, announced Thursday it was
cutting off rubber exports to Red China for the rest of 1951.
Red China Dropped a Hint...
Sunday that her great purge of suspected Western sympathizers
may have backfired, forcing her to shift to an individual house-to-house
campaign instead of the mass spectacle methods thus far used.
An editorial in the May 4 edition of the Peiping "People's Daily,”
which reached Hong Kong Sunday makes it evident that China’s “resist
the U. S. —aid Korea” movement is not going well. It urged that the
movement be “carried out in ways different from those employed in the
latter part of April.”
Observers in Hong Kong said it was significant that the newspaper
chose “the latter part of April” for special note. In that bloody period,
by Red admission, more than 250,000 Chinese saw almost 1,000 "counter
.revolutionaries” executed at Canton, Nanking, Hangchow and Shang
hai. Thousands of others heard the executions described in broadcasts.
Changinq the Wage Stabilization Board ...
... so public members could call the tune and outvote the combined
labor and industry members was suggested Sunday by Senator Taft
(R-Ohio).
Taft said that under the present tripartitie system—with equal num
bers of public, industry and labor members—the management and union
groups can team up to put across what they want, and “thus the entire
atabilization program may be scuttled.”
Putting public members in a majority position on the board, Taft said,
is one idea Congress may want to explore when it considers extension
of the Defense Production Act, which is. the source of all mobilization
control powers.
Premier Mossadegh of Iran Fainted ...
and plunged headlong from the rostrum Sunday after emitionalyy
telling Parliament his life had been threatened.
Mossadegh had told the Majlis (lower house of Parliament) he would
stay in the Parliament building until his life-long dream, the nationali
zation of Iran’s vast oil wealth, was finally accomplished.
Skeptical deputies laughed at the nervous premier as he told of threats
«n his life by the fanatic secret Moslem sect of Fedayan Islam, and de
clared a shining figure in a dream hadtold him he was destined to push
through the government seizure of oil.
