Secretary
Of
Defence
on
Stand
For
Second
Day
WASHINGTON
P
Defence
Secretary
George
Marshall
charged
today
that
General
Douglas
MacArthur
had
"accentuated"
United
States
casualties
in
Korea.
He
pleaded
for
a
Senate
investigation
"that
does
not
destroy
us
in
the
field."
Marshall
testified
for
the
second
day
before
the
armed
services
and
foreign
relations
committees
now
making
inquiry
into
MacArthur's
dismissal
from
his
Far
Eastern
command.
He
testified
that
united
Nations
troops
in
Korea
are
barred
from
approaching
within
fifteen
miles
of
the
Russian
border.
McArthur
had
been
ordered
to
confine
his
operations
to
Korea
"and
under
no
circumstances
to
carry
out
operations
beyond
Korea
into
Manchuria."
,.,,
There
had
been
some
modification
In
restrictions.
"In
event
of
our
forces
being
attacked
outside
Korea,
MacArthur
was
authorized
to
retaliate
in
bombing
against
such
operations."
)
"Remember
this:
II
we
do
have
another
world
war',
It
will
be
an
atomic
war.
We
could
expect
many
atomic
bombs
to
be
dropped
on
American
cities.
And
a
single
one
of
them
could
cause
many
times
more
casualties
than
we
have
suffered
In
all
the
fighting
in
Korea.
"I
do
not
want
to
be
responsible
for
bringing
that
about."
The
President
added
these
statements
to
a
speech
prepared
for
the
National
Civil
Defence
Conference
in
which
he
declared
anew
that
spreading
the
war
beyond
Korea
might
well
Incite
a
third
world
war.
The
President
said
that
the
free
nations,
by
their
stand
in
Korea,
have
stopped
the
march
of
Communism
In
Asia
and
"dealt
a
heavy
blow
to
the
Kremlin
conspiracy."
All
over
the
world
,
already,
Mr.
Truman
said,
there
are
signs
of
a
crack-up
behind
the
Iron
Curtain.
