Suicide Unless Wars Abolished
..Los Angeles . 0J.K) Gen.
Douglas MacArthur - called on
. world leaders Wednesday night
to help abolish war or face the
possibility that . the earth may
someday be destroyed in a giant
nuclear blast. ' "' ' ' . : ;" '? ?
The next great advance in the
evolution 'of civilization cannot
take place-until war is - abol
ished," MacArthur said in a
speech commemorating his 75th
birthday. He received a standing
ovation from a crowd of 1,000
before he spoke. . ,
"The leaders are the lag
gards," ' MacArthur said. ' "The
disease of power seems to . con
fuse and befuddle them." .
; He said the ordinary, people
of the world, whether slave or
free, agree that war should be
abolishd. .
i."And this perhaps is the only
thing in the world they do agree
upon,' he. said.
Describes Great Illusions'
tlieir threat of national annihila
tion are kept alive by two great
illusions. !The one a complete
belief on the part, of the Soviet
world that, the capitalist 'coun
tries are preparing tq 'attack
them . .. and the jothera, a com
plete belief on the part of the
capitalistic countrtes ithat, ' the
Soviet are preparing; to attack
us." . - v : :
. Both are wrongs he said. For
either- side war with-the- -other
would mean nothing- blit ." dis
aster. "But the constant accelera
tion of preparation may well,
without specific intent, ultimate
ly produce a spontaneous com
bustion." :i ' .
" MacArthur also charged that
the Formosa crisis demonstrates
"the inherent weakness" of col
lective security and warned that
the ultimate, fate of the Far East
and the rest of the world will
not be settled by war. ,
'He said : the United States
must "break out of the .straight
jacket of the past'and proclaim
its readiness .to 'abolish war
along with the other world
powers. & brvV -? 'V
Warns of Nuclear Suicide . f
MacArthur warned that un
less: the masses force the aboli
tion of war, a preparedness race
may throw the. world into a sui
cidal nuclear, war - by "spon
taneous combustion."
MacArthur stormed mightily
against war throughout his en
tire speech: ' . ; , .
The famed "Old . Soldier
pleaded with leaders on both
sides of the Iron Curtain to heed
the wishes of their peoples by
seeking a workable plan for dis
armament and peace and de
cried recent statements in- Wash
ington that the nation must go
on; for 50 years or more, pre
paring for war as a means 'of
preserving peace. . " v
He t said that , at present rest
less scientific i hands are "at
work feverishly in dark labora
tories to find the means to de
stroy all at one blow." ; -
MacArthur's speech was spon
sored by the American Legion,
climaxing; a full day of festivi
ties during which he spoke at
the dedication of a statue of
himself in MacArthur Park.

"Editor's note: The author of the fol
lowinf exclusive interview is a United
Press Vice president who has reported
AskAV affairs for the past 1 years.
The subject of his interview. Major
Gen. Claire - Chennault of "Flying
Titers" fame, speaks frankly in his
timely comment on the crisis with Bed
China.-: - ; -
. By EAHNEST HOBERECHT
' United Press Correspondent
TaipehV ' Formosa r (U.R) . -Major
Gen.' Claire Chennaiilt
(ret.), said today the -"time has
come for a showdown with the
Chinese Communists." T ? ; ? i
Chennaiilt said in an exclusive
interview that it will be easier 1
for the United States and her
Asian allies to defeat the Red
Chinese now . than : one. -year
hence. . '
"They (the Rl Chinese) are
not our friends and - are not fit
for membership in the'. United
Nations," Chennault said.; "They
have demonstrated this." , ,
"We had better, have, a show
down , now," the former com
mander of the-Flying Tigers ad
ded. "I don't like war but some
times it's better to fight things
out. . The Red Chinese are the
only- aggressors in Asia. - They
are doing all the shooting and all
the moving forward."
- Chennault defended National
ist Chinese retaliatory attacks
against the Reds.
Trying to Return Fire '""" -
VThe Chinese Nationalists are
only ' trying to return ..the .. fire
to protect themselves," he said.
i Chennault. said he did not be
lieve American ground' trdops
would be needed in a showdown
with the Red Chinese. -
"We can use troops of friend
ly Asian nations who are plenty
willing to fight if we supply
them and provide air and sea
assistance," Chennault said. "We
can run the Chinese Reds out of
China if we will use our Asian
Allies who want to fight." ; ;
Chennault said the - Chinese
Nationalists and South Koreans
have a greater combined, first-
class fighting force than the Red
Chinese.
"The Reds strained every mus
cle to get 1,000,000 men into
Korea and many of them were
' 'Human Wave'' troops rather
than first class soldiers," he
said.
He said he believed the Chin
ese Nationalists and South Kor
eans could put two or three mil
lion . men on the battlefields ' if
America supplies them. The re
tired general also said he refus
ed to go along with those who
fear the great numbers of Chin
ese, on the mainland: "Red
China's big population is not
the deciding factor," Chennault
said.v J
Matter of Supply
' "The real factor , is what the
Communists can equip and sup-
ply. Her tanks, guns, planes and
other main war items must come
from Russia. This is a big log
istic problem. Then,, when the
supplies get to China, she still
has only one railroad to Mnove
them from north to south'
"If we let South Koreans hit

Washington (ll.R)' Senate
critics of a resolution giving the
President unlimited authority to
defend Formosa hoped today to
amend it to forbid U.S. forces to
attack the Red China mainland. ;
:. But indications were still
strong that the resolution will
be approved as originally sub
mitted by the President when it
comes up for a final vote, per
haps -Friday, v It 1 already has
cleared the House... ; - '-
' Some senators were concerned
over - reports: that Secretary of
State- John Foster; Dulles and
military.spokesmen feel the reso
lution .clearly ; permits; possible
action on the Chinese mainland
and nearby Nationalist- held
islands if necessary- to defend
Formosa. . : . . ... -.
- Such reports leaked - from
closed-door meetings of the For
eign Relations and Armed Serv
ices committes after testimony
by the military chiefs and
Dulles. .
Wants To Go Slower " '
Sen. Russell B.' Long (D-La.),
criticizing ? administration at
tempts to' ram the1 resolution
through too quickly, told news
men 'There would be consider
able concern to the public if it
knew what I hear was said in
those secret hearings." Long is
not on either committee and did
not attend the hearings., -
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey CD
Minn.), with Long and Sen. Her
bert H. Lehman (D-N.Y.) as co-
the Communists through North
K or e a and let the Chinese
Nationalists hit : the . Reds in
South' China, the Chinese Reds
will have . two fronts and they
cannot handle them. :
- "That one rail line: if we
let it operate and don't bomb it,
is not enough to handle military
needs and remember it also must
take care of civilians. -,
"China is not like America
or Europe. 'It does not have oth
er lines or good roads. Without
supplies the Reds couldn't fight
long."
Should Hold Tacheri
Chennault said it would be
"extremely ill advised" to give
up Tachen for the following rea
sons: . j
. 1. It . probably is, more essen
tial to the defense of Okinawa
than Formosa.
2. It is the lastland held by
friends between the, China
mainland and Okinawa and of
fers good 'air anf sea observa
tion posts. - " :
3. Tachen can be defended or
the Reds could be made to . pay
the heaviest price for them. . -4.
Once the Reds, have - the
Tachens they7 can ; swing their
attention to the south for an at
tack on Formosa from the main
land via Quemoy. . ;
. 5. It will be a big blow to the
Chinese Nationalist morale to
give them up.
It will weaken the American
positions with other Asians who
will , wonder-, if ,the Americans
ever really will fight, to defend
them against aggressors. It
might cost -America lots in loss
of confidence." . - . . :

sponsors,' introduced : amend
ments Wednesday night to speci
fically" exclude posible military
action on the mainland or Nationalist-held
j islands : close off
shore. Humphrey , said he feels
strongly the amendments should
be adopted but plans to support
the resolution even if they are
not. Long said he has not firmly
decided whether he will oppose
it. . ' -v- u ' : ' ' : ' -
.A " ;' similar 1 amendment ' has
been introduced by Sen. William
Langer (R-N J).). " . i S
Foes Concede' 'Passage ' '' t . " ;
But- even , announced oppon
ents of the resolution, such as
Sen. Ralph E. Flanders (R-Vt.),
conceded it willv pass by "an
overwhelming vote" on the final
showdown. m
The Foreign Relations' and
Armed Services committees, ap
proved the resolution 26 to 2
Wednesday with ' Langer- and
Wayne L. Morse (Ind.-Gre.) cast
ing the only dissenting votes.
" Before approving it, the com
mittee rejected by votes of 20
to 8 an earlier, amendment by
Humphrey; and a complete' sub
stitute by, Sen. Estes Kefauver
(D-Tenn.) to handle the Formosa
crisis entirely through the. Unit
ed Nations and to keep U.S.
forces away from ; the Chinese
mainland.
Long urged that secret testi
mony by Dulles and the military
chiefs before the 'two commit
tees, be made public. 1
"We should have time . to
think "about this," Long v told
newsmen. "If we are' going to
give Mr. Eisenhower an invita
tion to attack the Communist
Chinese - mainland, I believe he
should . give : us time to fully
understand what we are doing.'
Critics of the President's re
quest' complained that it ' is a
"blank check'' that amounts in
effect to a . "predated" declara
tion of war over which Congress
would : have no later say. " But
administration forces, led by
Senate GOP Leader William F.
Knowland (Calif.) and Republi
can Whip Leverett Saltonstall
(Mass.), arguer1 that the action
is necessary to prevent a massive
Communist attack on Formosa.
