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.
Short said unsanitary condi
tions was the reason for the one
plant closure. Most of the con
demned meat was frozen and
had been held too long.
Areas covered so far by the
program include Salem, Port
land, Klamath and Grant coun
ties, central Oregon and Wasco
county. The program is about set
up for Linn county and has been
started in Benton county.
General Motors maintains 130
medical departments in its
plants in the United States and
Canada and employs 160 indust
rial physicians and 750 nurses.
