General Van Fleet
Views Dim Future
Gen. James A. Van Fleet, looking like the retired football coach
he is, relaxed in his room in the Nittany Lion Inn Wednesday, and
discussed war and peace.
What he had to say was far from optimistic.
The general has a "gloomy outlook" about the possibility of peace.
Listen to what the former head
of the eighth army in Korea has
to say about the possibility of
World War 111
"We should prepare for the
worst . . . We have no reason to
coast."
"War never stops. No tactic by
the Communist is incidental. The
object is always the same—only
the methods change."
There. is "every reason to be
lieve it' is true" that the Com
munists are using the current
truce period to build up their for
ces in North Korea.
The United States is "obligated.
to enter the Korean war again"
if the peace conference fails.
These are the opinions of a man
who has been actively fighting
communism since the end of
World War 11. He directed the
U.S. Military Aid Group to
Greece from 1948 to 1950. Later
he became commander of the Jni
ted Nations forces in Korea. There
he commanded the forces of 16
nations united in the world's first
collective action against aggres
sion.
The . general considers the
stalled-before-they-started peace
conferences "a mess." India, which
is policing the truce and arrang
ing sessions of "explanations" by
the belligerents to soldiers who
refuse to be repatriated, met with
criticism from the former com
mander.
"India has gone too far" in the
treatment of prisoners, Van Fleet
said. The Indians—"neutralists,"
he called them—are giving too
much emphasis to the Commun
ists interpretation .of the truce
terms. he said. They "confuse,
coerce, and threaten" nrisoners,
the retired soldier said.
Some 22,000 Communist pris
oners have refused to return to
their homeland. So did 23 Ameri
cans. We asked the general why.
First of all, he pointed out, 23

out of the thousands of American
prisoners is an "incredibly low
percentage. It is practically neg
lible. You can expect that small
a percentage (of communist sym
pathizers) in any group of Arneri
cans."
_The Communists "use threats,
brain-washing tactics. and make
false promises" to prisoners; he
said.
What method does he favor this
country using at the "explana
tion" sessions which got off - to a
roaring, violent start yesterday?
"Let their mothers see them,"
said
_the general. (This idea was
turned down last week by the
State Department.) This, he said,
"would give satisfaction to their
mothers and the nation."
Van Fleet, who was on campus
less than. 24 hours, toured the
campus prior to his Community
Forum speech Wednesday night.
He recalled the eight years he
had been head football coach at
the University of Florida, where
he also was in charge of the Re
serve Officers Training Corps.
He speculated about Penn
State's chances in its first home
game, against Syracuse, tomorrow.
And he wanted to know if the
deer hunting is still good in the
area.
The general, who has been
awarded 16 United States decora
tions, disclosed he had turned
down an offer to head the ROTC
unit at the College after he was
awarded his commission from the
United States Military Academy
at West Point.
Wolves kill about 5 per cent
of Canadian caribou herds each
year, according to the National
Geographic Society.
