Collins Asserts Pentagon
“Carefully Reviewed”
Bombing Chinese Bases
WASHINGTON, f/P) — Gen. J.
Lawton Collins said Saturday the
Pentagon “carefully reviewed’’ the
idea of bombing Chinese Com
munist bases in Manchuria last
November and again in January
and each time rejected it.
Collins, army chief of staff, was
testifying for the second day at
the Senate inquiry into the dis
missal of Gen. MacArthur from
his Far Eastern commands.
MacArthur’s public advocacy of
using air power against Chinese
bases in an effort to shorten the
Korean war, was one of the policy
differences figuring in his dis
missal.
When Collins was first before
the Senators, he was asked to get
from the Pentagon full informa
tion on MacArthur’s proposals that
he be permitted to bomb the Red
Chinese supply centers and bas
ing points in Manchuria.
Soon after returning to the wit
ness chair, Collins said he had
checked his records and it ap
peared that MacArthur never did
specifically request authority to
bomb such targets.
“So far as we have been able j
to locate,” Collins said, “he made j
no specific recommendation, but j
in all frankness and honesty, in
mv judgment he clearly indicated!
that he thought it ought to be
done.”
Collins went on to say MacAr
thur had “raised the question” of
bombing such targets as early as
last November when “he stated
that restrictions placed upon the
United Nations operations in Ko
rea provided a sanctuary for hos
tile forces."
Senator Russell (D-Ga) asked
whether the Chinese had attacked
in force in Korea at the time of
November 7 message.
“No, not until the 24th of No
vember,” Collins replied.
Senator Hickenlooper (R-Iowal
commented it was cutting a com-!
mander down “pretty thin” if he
was required “to write to the joint
chiefs of staff every time he wants
to load a cannon or, say, put five
rounds in a rifle.”
Russell said he saw “absolutely
no relationship between asking
permission to* load a cannon and
asking permission to •bomb forces
Florida Legislature
Asked To Impeach
Governor Warren
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., (£•)—The
Florida house of representatives
was asked today to impeach Gov.
Fuller Warren on grounds that he
wilfully disregarded his duties and
ignored “evidences of lawlessness”
in this free-spending vacation
state.
Rep. George Okell of Miami,
until recently one of Warren’s
stout political supporters, intro
duced the resolution calling for
impeachment of the governor on
10 counts of alleged misdemean
ors in office.
All of them involved camplaints
that have been made publicly
about the governor — about his
his campaign expenditures, the
conduct of his racing commission,
his reinstatement of three ousted
sheriffs, and his attitude toward
the Florida gambling situation.
A two-thirds vote of the House
would immediately suspend the
governor from office and Senate
president Wallace E. Sturgis,
would take over his duties. The
state Senate would then, within
six months, conduct a trial of the
governor.

outside of Korea that had not yet
demonstrated that they were at

added:
“It would seem to be quite a
difference in that and in deciding
to attack neutral forces that were
within their own country and had
not yet intervened in the war.”
