General James A. Van Fleet, 60-year-old former 8th Army commander, told Congressmen this morning that the Korea deadlock is a sit-down of our own choice. Van Fleet, appearing before the House Armed Services Committee, also suggested the draft term be lengthened from its present two years "to 30 or 36 months." In this double photograph, on the right, Committee Chairman Dewey Short (R-MO) greets Van Fleet upon arrival at the hearing, and left is Van Fleet as he testified. From: Beth Gore.
