MacArthur Says Defeat Would Spur Reds On
General Douglas MacArthur told Senate committees that communism is already at war with the free world and a decisive atomic blow could decide the conflict. He argued the Korean war must end successfully to prevent attacks by the Soviet Union or any enemy, and said releasing current power could knock out China without expanding the overall military program. The testimony touched on tensions with President Truman and White House silence, with MacArthur suggesting U.S. shortages hinder winding down Korea.
