OUTGO Leadership During Var Hit By General In Book NEW YORK (IT!) - The man who headed the Allied forces in the China Theater of Operations during the second half of World War !! says the Truman adminis tration was lamely to blame for the loss of China to the Commu nists. In a book sharply critical of I'nited Stales leadership during World War II and in its immedi ate aftermath, (len. Albert C. Wed emeyer assaults the Truman ad ministration's reluctance to give Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek sol id support in the postwar show down with the Communists. "The Chinese government," Wedemeyer wrote in his book out today, "if assisted in establishing the internal peace that only mili tary strength can guarantee, would eventually have been able to pro gress toward the modern demo cratic state which had seemed to be in sight in 1937 before the Jap anese aggression." Wedemeyer, now retired, re placed Gen. Joseph (Vinegar) Joe Slilwell as commander of the Chi na Theater in 1944, and later served Pupils Enter Art Contest MONTAGUE - Pupils from all schools in Scott Valley entered an art contest during National Art Week.

AP -John Prather, balky pioneer rancher, celebrated his 84th, birth day anniversary Friday on the 15 acres the government gave up try ing to oust him from. Last year the government de cided to let him keep the plot, where his stone house stands, on the edge-of the McGregor missile range in southern New Mexico. Uncle Sam got the rest of Prather's . big cattle spread in order to enlarge the, range, but Prather wouldn't budge from his home. He flourished his 30-30 and held off U.S. marshals, generals, what have you. . . . As he observed his birthday, John snorted, "They think they'll set mv land after I'm gone". But I'll fool 'em. I'll live to plant flowers on their graves. as a special ambassador to China. While crediting Truman with many astute decisions Wedemeyer deplores what he calls a tragic and misguided effort by the Truman administration, through Gen. George C. Marshall, to force Chi ang into coalition rule of postwar China with the Communists. He pictures Chiang as a victim of tin controllable circumstances, w h o did his best to overcome the "weakness and oppressive charac ter of the nationalist government and its decreasing popular sup port." Wedemeyer also expresses the opinion that Truman never should have authorized the use of the atomic bomb against Japan he cause of the knowledge that the war was almost over. In a scorching volume, which leaves few leaders of the Allied powers untouched by his criticism. Wedemeyer calls World War II "the war nobody won," and in cludes these critical appraisals: Winston Churchill: Lacked the wisdom and statecraft of his pre decessors who had made England tne world s greatest power. Church ill could "never reconcile his own concepts of grand strategy with sound military decisions . . . act ing on intuition and impulse with out regard for implications or con sequences ... he waged war more like an Indian chieftain from the Arizona Territory ... he pursued policies which hastened Britain's decline to her present status of a second rate power." Franklin D. Roosevelt: Pri marily responsible for "the fact that Japan's attack on Pearl Har bor had been deliberately provoked and the subsequent loss of the Philippines, where the American garrison was regarded as expend able by an administration bent on getting us into the European "war by the back door." -Dwight D. Eisenhower: Even some of the men most lova! to Ei senhower nevertheless felt that Ike was leaning over too far in favor ing the British. Although I was skeptical at the time. I feared my mends were right when Eisenhow er began to weaken his support of the cross-channel operation inva sion of France in 1943." -Adolph Hitler: A madman who "interfered with military opera tions ... to a castastrophic de gree. -Josef Stalin: A ruthless seeker of world domination who "made continuing mistakes on his own. The biggest mistake the Russians made after World War II was in not exploiting the good will they enjoyed in our country. They should have continued to deceive us by a show of false friendliness."
