Synopsis

The MacArthur Senate Hearings proceed this week, placing Secretary of State Dean Acheson under intense scrutiny. He faces a complex series of inquiries, yet subtly conveys to the world – particularly to China – a willingness to explore avenues for ending the conflict. Meanwhile, the war persists on the ground, with UN forces executing Operation Piledriver, pushing into the heart of enemy territory in an attempt to encircle and contain them.
