MacArthur Rejected Scheme To Safeguard Manchuria From Reds

Washington, June 12.

Lieutenant-General Albert C. Wedemeyer said today that he had asked for seven American divisions to safeguard Manchuria from Russian penetration after the defeat of Japan in World War II.

But, he added, General Douglas MacArthur had turned down his request.

General Wedemeyer told Senators investigating the dismissal of General MacArthur that he wanted to use the American troops to pre- clude unilateral Soviet action in Manchuria.

He had also wanted to secure the

of Japanese troops in Manchuria for the Chinese Na- tionalist forces and to keep them out of the Com- munists' hands.

General Wedemeyer said that Orientul people who are seeking General MacArthur was uncer-freedom in our pattern." tain about how the Japanese The United States should do react to the occupation of their everything possible to disrupt | homeland and declined to make Russia's efforts
