...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.

Mrs. Hecht felt lonely. One day she wrote a letter to Stalin himself, pointing out that she was 76 years old and asking his permission to join her sons before she died. Bureaucrats descended on Mrs. Hecht. She signed documents, filled in forms; finally she was packed off to Vienna, the second Soviet citizen...
Deterrent Influence. "If a potential aggressor knew in advance that his aggression would bring that answer, then I am convinced that he would not commit aggression . . . Siberia and much of China, notably Manchuria, are vulnerable, from the standpoint of transport and communication . . . Is it not time that the Chinese Communists knew that if, for example, they send their Red armies openly into Viet Nam [Indo-China], we will not be content merely to try to meet their armed forces at the point they select . . . but by retaliatory action of our own fashioning...
