He said the Chinese communists are Russia's "third team and de clared that to "fight under condi tions at times and places of the soviet chosing . . . will ruin us.' "T want to take the strategic initiative away from that enemy. he said. : I ' Wedemeyer said specifically that the United States should take the initiative in the military field. as well as in the realm of politics, economc and psychology. "Words are not enough. We have got to take action," he said at one point. Challenging many of the admin istration's present Far East poll cies, Wedemeyer contended that i truce with the communists near the 38th parallel In Korea would be "tantamount to a defeat for us psychologically ! Secretary of State Acheson, In earlier testimony, has said that a truce at the 38th parallel would be acceptable if a "real settlement in Korea could be achieved: with guarantees against future aggres sion. But Wedemeyer. former Ameri can commander in China during World War II, said a truce at the old border between! North and South Korea would mean that "our first team was unable to defeat successfully the third team of the soviet." He went on to say: "It is their third team opposing our first team, and' their third team at times has defeated us in battle, in combat; and at least it has accomplished a stalemate.' . Wedemeyer" thus appeared to back Gen. Douglas MacArthur's contention which the administra tion has disputed that the war in Korea is verging on a "bloody stalemate' with no clear-cut vic tory in sight I ' I Wedemeyer said he thought President Truman was Justified in relieving Gen. MacArthur from his Far East command if the president hadr lost confidence'' in Mac Arthur's capacity to carry out or ders faithfully. i But he said:' . "The manner in which it is done is something else, and I think most Americans feel unhappy about the way it was done. Wedemeyer endorsed generally the tactics recommended by . Gen eral MacArthur, but went' beyond them; MacArthur did not advo cate pearly as strong steps as his old comrade-in-arms, but was fired from his Far East command for advocating what he did. (W demeyer Is retiring at his own quest) j . . Wedemeyer and MacArthur were in agreement on these steps l.

S. warships aone if other United Nations mem bers refused to go along. 3. A tight economic blockade of the China coast. ; Secretary of Defense Marshall and other administration witnes ses, testifying at the senate in quiry into the firing of Gen. Mac Arthur, have contended that the bombing of communist bases In Manchuria would involve grave risk of war with Russia. Wedemeyer said he would take that risk. Senator Green (D-RI) pointed out that Russia might come to the aid of China under the terms of the Russian-Chinese treaty If the Red China coast were blockaded and Its cities bombarded by Am erican warships. li wouia proDaoiy lead to a third world war, would it not? Green asked. "It might sir," Wedemeyer re plied. That is a calculated risk.1 Green: "In your judgment it Is worth taking those risks?" Wedemeyer: "Yes. sir. senator. I would state categorically I would accept those calculated risks, yes, sir. g ' The format of the modern news paper was first established in I Venice in 1568, says the Book of Knowledge, when government- sponsored news sheets were dis played on the streets.
