Instead, all over the free world last week people were saying that U.S. military men have no more political sense than so many boobies. Red China newspapers screamed that a U.S. general had confessed atrocities. At Tokyo's Haneda airport, General Mark Wayne Clark, the new Far East commander, watched his predecessor, General Matt Ridgway, fly happily off to the U.S., leaving Clark with a mess on his hands. Ample portions of blame had already been meted out to the two squirming brigadiers, Dodd and Colson, but some blame would undoubtedly fall on Ridgway and on the Eighth Army...
...DiMaggio stepped from the plane at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, a full-throated roar rose from the waiting crowd. "Banzai DiMaggio," they shouted. Joe and 16 other players-the first U.S. all-star major league team to visit Japan since 1934-had come to make a good-will tour of Japan, in which they will play 15 games of beisu-boru against Japan's best teams...

In Washington, Dean Acheson said that he didn't know that the Defense Secretary had left...
...starred Chrysler swung down the highway through the lanes of Japanese police and some 200,000 citizens who had been waiting since dawn to pay a farewell to the conqueror who had won their admiration. The car rolled to a stop on the broad apron of Tokyo's Haneda airport. Douglas MacArthur stepped out, his face drawn and grey beneath the battered, gold-laced cap. He shook hands with Matt Ridgway, the man Harry Truman had sent to relieve him, then stood at attention to receive a 19-gun salute. The farewells were brief and brisk, and, when MacArthur...
