Plan That Brought Ouster Was Backed by U S Joint Chiefs
Gen Douglas MacArthur testified before a Senate committee that the Joint Chiefs of Staff endorsed his plan to strike China with air and naval power when the Chinese entered Korea last fall. He said President Truman or Defense Secretary Marshall vetoed the Joint Chiefs ideas, and produced a January 12 war study backing his proposals for blockade and air operations. He also discussed possible troop deployments, Russian defenses, and State Department influence on UN reports.

Allies Engage Reds Ten Miles North of Seoul
Allied tank infantry patrols north of Seoul engaged Chinese Reds with several skirmishes. A patrol entered Vijengbu near 11 miles north of Seoul, others retook two Allied tanks, and a major two hour battle east-northeast of the capital killed an estimated 200 Reds with 31 prisoners. A patrol northwest of Seoul encountered the Red vanguard, suggesting a line ten miles north as Reds regroup for a new drive. Two American F-60 jets were downed, and air strikes killed many Reds atop a hill as frontline morale rose amid a brief quiet before further action.
