Truman Puts Failure Of Marshall Mission In Hands of Chiang Eugene U.R) A slender, dark-haired young 'man robbed Ken's Cash and Carry grocery store here of an undetermined amount of money Tuesday night, .police said. New York (U.R) Former President Harry S. Truman said yesterday that Gen. George C. Marshall's mission to achieve unity and peace in China failed because the government of Gen eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek "did not command the respect and support of the Chinese people." Mr. Truman defended his ac tion in dispatching Marshall to China in 1945-46 in an install ment of his memoirs published by Life magazine. Would Have Saved China The former President said there was no doubt in his mind that if Chiang had taken Mar shall's advice and had been "only a little more conciliatory" an understanding could have been reached that would have saved the China mainland from Com munist control. "I am not one to believe in the value of hindsight," Mr. Truman said. "Whether or not I was right in sending Gen. Marshall to China does not depend on what some think they know today. It depends only on what we were able to know in 1945." Life Takes Issue In the same issue, Life takes issue with Mr. Truman editor ially. It says that the former President's, account of the Mar shall mission "can be criticized for its omissions'." "Mr. Truman outlaws 'hind sight' in judging the reasons for Marshall's failure," the editorial said.'But one of our valued ex President's most valuable habits, so he often tells us, is the read ing of history for its lessons. The Marshall mission, so read, con tained the major American mis takes which by 1949 had led to the communization of China." Meat Condemned In Inspection Plan Salem XU.R) J. R. Short, director of the State Agricul ture Department's pilot meat in spection program, said yester day that 15,175 pounds .of meat had been condemned and one plant closed since the program started.
