Mae Arthur Gives
Secret Plan To
End Korean War
WASHINGTON- API Gen,
Douglas Mae Arthur today
gave the nation a peek at his
celebrated secret plan for
; ending the war In Korea; The
main feature: A threat to
.bomb Communist Chipa.
r “A warning of action of this sort
provides the leverage,” he said, “to
Induce the Soviet to bring the Ko
reau struggle to -an end without/
further bloodshed.” j
The former supreme Allied com/
rnander in the Far East revealed
his proposals in a 1,500-word letter
to Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va) who
had queried him on Korean am
munition shortages. Byrd made the
‘letter public.
The proposals obviously represen
ted the “clear and definite solu
tion” which Mae Arthur alluded to
in his famous Dec. 5 speech in New
York arid' -later discussed privately
;with President Elsenhower and Sec
retary of State John Foster Dull
es. N ./
“We still possess the potential
to destroy Red China’s flimsy In
dustrial base and sever her tenu
ous supply lines from the Soviet,”
he said. “This would deny her the
resources to support modern war
and sustain large military forces in
turn’ would greatly weaken the
Communist hold upon Asia."
Mae Arthur said Russia is not
“bUnd to the dangers” confronting
it In the Far East so that* a threat
of a “Red China debacle might well
settle the Korean war and all other
pending global Issues on equitable
terms.”
-He Indicated such a throat would
