Douglas MacArthur, in his messages to the enemy, never matched the harshness of the words General Matthew Ridgway used last week. Calling Communist charges that U.N. forces had violated the neutrality of Kaesong "malicious falsehoods," Ridgway poured towering scorn on the Communists in a historic verbal nose-twisting.
