Profit & Loss. Marshall ticked off the Administration's rejoinder to the MacArthur proposals: bombing of Manchurian bases or of the Chinese mainland would not cripple the enemy as much as Mac-Arthur believes, because, for one thing, life is cheap in China; a naval blockade would involve the U.S. with Russian ships, would probably "leak like a sieve," and would not shut off the main Chinese supplies, coming by land from Russia; the value of Chiang Kai-shek's troops on Formosa in any expedition against the Reds is negligible.

Before his congressional questioners Douglas Mac Arthur said: "The greatest political mistake we have made in a hundred years in the Pacific was in allowing the Communists to grow to power in China ... I believe we will pay for it, for a century." MacArthur did not explore in detail the how & why of the great error. That task is undertaken in an angry, hardhitting book published last week-The China Story, by Freda Utley (Henry Regnery Co.; $3.50)-A British-born, U.S.-naturalized ex-Communist whose Russian husband vanished in the Soviet purges of the 30's, Author Utley...

Within 24 hours it was in the hands of California disc jockeys and shortly thereafter in record shops, selling an estimated 25,000 copies a day. Hot on Columbia's heels, seven other record companies got top performers in both barn and ballroom categories to record it; most called on professional lyricists to hoke up the song's meager words.
