...solution he had advocated at the time of his firing by Harry Truman (attack on Manchuria, blockade of China, use of Chinese Nationalist troops) is no longer "entirely applicable," MacArthur declared. Just what his plan is, however, the general would not divulge. Said he: "A present solution involves basic decisions which I recognize as improper for public disclosure or discussion, but which in my opinion can be executed without either an unduly heavy price in friendly casualties, or any increased danger of provoking universal conflict...
...years stolid, square-faced Kao has been Communist boss of Mukden (Manchuria), center of such industry as exists in China today. In Manchuria there are more Russians than in any other part of Red China. Kao, who visited Moscow in 1949, has long been a slavish imitator of Russian methods. Last week he received a group of Soviet artists, loudly applauded (with the proper gradations of respect) both a Stalin Cantata and a tone poem, The Song of Mao Tse-tung. Mao has said: "Comrade Kao Kang is a consistently correct leader." With this buildup, Kao, 50, is already...
Gist of the communiqués: as promised by the Sino-Soviet Agreement signed in Moscow in February 1950, the Russians will turn over to their Chinese comrades full control of the strategic Changchun Railway in Manchuria by the end of 1952.

...scant 40 miles from Soviet Siberia, carrier planes from the Princeton and Bon Homme Richard twice bombed Hoeryong, a major supply center and port of entry from Manchuria to Korea. On the Yalu River, three dozen B-29s blasted the Suiho power plants, 1,000 yards from the Manchurian border, where the Reds were repairing damage caused in earlier raids. This is the first time that the big bombers have struck so close to Manchuria. Last June, when light bombers blasted the Suiho plants, there was a big fuss in Great Britain. Last week the British were informed...
...bomber base in central Japan after a leisurely multistop flight over the Pacific in which inflight refueling was successfully used. The F-84 Gs replaced a garrison wing of Thunderjets which went to Korea to fight. From Japan the new planes can reach any target in southern Manchuria, and they are equipped with bomb racks for carrying "tactical" (small) atomic bombs. Official Washington pooh-poohed any notion that the U.S. would use atomic weapons either in Manchuria or in North Korea-but the Communists knew that Washington might change its mind...
