This test is to help TIME readers and their friends check their knowledge of current affairs. In recording answers, make no marks at all opposite questions. Use one of the answer sheets printed with the test: sheets for four persons are provided. After taking the test, check your replies against the correct answers printed on the last page of the test, entering the number of right answers as your score on the answer sheet.
The test is much more fun if you don't peek.
FIVE CHOICES
For each of the 105 test questions, five possible answers are given. You are to select the correct answer and put its number on the answer sheet next to the number of that question. Example: 0. Russia's boss is: 1. Kerensky. 3. Stalin. 5. Stakhanov.
2. Lenin. 4. Trotsky.
Stalin, of course, is the correct answer. Since this question is numbered 0, the number 3 -- standing for Stalin -- has been placed at the right of 0 on the answer sheet.
MACARTHUR STORY
1. In late January Pentagon strategists, perplexed over Chinese intentions, began calling the fight in Korea a "war of maneuver," in which the main objective was to:
1. Avoid all major battles.
2. Let armored columns cut Red supply lines.
3. Hurt the enemy rather than gain ground.
4. Take a line of towns to the Yalu.
5. Require use of Chiang Kai-shek's forces.
2. As Theater Commander, MacArthur objected to this strategy. Before taking Seoul the second time, he declared that the Reds would never drive U.N. forces from Korea, but added that:
1. A stalemate would result unless he were given "freedom of counteroffensive action."
2. New U.S. secret weapons could soon end the war.
3. He had "no plans" for crossing the 38th parallel.
4. Marines "should assault the Chinese homeland."
5. He could not hold all South Korea.
3. His opposition to the Truman Administration policy became more evident late in March when he:
1. Bombed Manchurian bases.
2. Denounced all previous U.N. peace efforts.
3. Invited the Red field commander to a peace parley.
4. Flew to Formosa to visit Chiang.

4. Harry Truman became openly hostile when G.O.P. House Leader Martin released a letter in which the General:
1. Explained the Wake Island conference.
2. Said he planned to resign.
3. Demanded better equipment.
4. Urged U.S. support for a Chiang Kai-shek attack on the mainland.
5. Criticized Naval air support.
5. After MacArthur's dismissal was announced, President Truman followed up with a radio speech explaining that the reason was Washington's:
1. Insistence on a naval blockade of the China Coast.
2. Hope to win the war quickly.
3. Desire to limit the fighting to Korea.
4. Belief that peace could be negotiated.
5. Plan to bomb Manchurian supply lines.
The Old Soldier
6. Given a hero's welcome on his return, the General declared in an address to Congress that his views on how to fight the Korean war were:
1. Given no hearing at the Wake Island conference.
2. The same as the U.N.'s.

4. Communist China may join U.N.

1. Can the U.S. win in Korea under its present, self-imposed limitations?
2. Should Formosa be turned over to Mao?
3. Had the U.S. done all it could to save China from Communism?
4. Is time on our side?
5. If Russia did come into the Asian war, would it mean World War III?
11. When General Bradley appeared before the Committee, Senators tried on him a trap intended for Secretary Acheson, but voted 18-to-8:

2. To make him reveal Pentagon secrets.
