About
1 Million

Washington, Jan. 14.
The United States Army Chief of Staff, General Matthew Ridgway told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today it had been verified that China had withdrawn units from North Korea since the armistice.
The overall Communist strength there was still about one million men.
It had been verified that since the armistice the Communists had rebuilt war-torn airfields and had constructed new ones.
The U.S. Army believed, however, there was no evidence of any Communist intention to renew hostilities, General Ridgway said.

US Senator Says:
"Dean's Views Are Those Of Pro-China Apologists"
Washington, Jan. 14. United States Special Ambassador. In Koren, Mr Arthur Dean, who broke off talks with the Communists
at Panmunjom last month, was today accused by a United States Senator of spreading propaganda for the appeasement of the Chinese Communists.

He said that he would resume the conference only when the charge was with- drawn,
The Senator, a Republican, My Hurman Welker of Indinga, declared in a Senate speech today that Mr Dean and others were
