Ridgway Warns of New Red Menace in Korea
General Ridgway told Congress that Communist germ and gas warfare charges against the United Nations in Korea are false in their entirety. He called the propaganda a monumental warning as urgent as a forest fire, praised Gen. James Van Fleet, and outlined UN Army readiness, Japan’s role, and faith in principle as he prepared to assume command in Europe. The Senate paused debate on foreign aid as Ridgway’s televised remarks dominated the session.
