Gen. J. Lawton Collins testified that Gen. Douglas MacArthur violated military orders by sending U.S. troops to the Yalu River border area. Collins said the joint chiefs did not countermand the action once taken and noted concern over using only South Korean troops in that zone. He indicated a new Pentagon Korean campaign plan is being mapped and questioned whether Russians fly Chinese planes.
