U.N. TRUCE TEAM

Vice Admiral Charles Turner Joy, 56, Commander, Naval Forces in the Far East, got his first taste of Pacific warfare as operations officer of the cruiser Indianapolis during the Battle of Bougainville. Later, from his battle post as commander of the cruiser Louisville, he was pulled back to Washington to head the Navy's important Pacific Plans Division, given sea duty once more as commander of Cruiser Division 6 during the assault on Saipan, the landings at Guam, Peleliu, Leyte and Lingayen Gulf. A blue-water man (Annapolis, class of 1916), he is a crack ordnance expert, a good golfer (low 70s). He is married, has a daughter and two sons, each a lieutenant, one Army, one Navy.

Rear Admiral Arleigh Albert ("31-Knot") Burke, 49, Commander, U.S. Cruiser Division 5, earned his nickname early in the Pacific war as commander of the 23rd ("Little Beaver") Destroyer Squadron. His invariable reply to battle movement orders: "Am proceeding at 31 knots." Later promoted to captain and chief of staff to Admiral Marc Mitscher, of famed Task Force 58. After the war, wisecracking, hard-hitting Annapolis-man (1923) Burke became a leader in the Navy's fight against unification. His high service record earned him forgiveness and promotion after the dust settled. He is married, has no children.

Major General Laurence Carbee Craigie, 49, Vice Commander, Far East Air Forces, still a first-class pilot and one of the Air Force's ablest diplomats in ironing out interservice troubles.

A West Pointer (1923) and onetime assistant chief of experimental engineering at Wright Field, he became (1942) the first U.S. armed forces test pilot to fly a jet-powered plane--the pioneer XP-59. Saw active duty as commander of the Twelfth Air Force's 63rd Fighter Wing in North Africa. Appointed commandant of Wright Field's Air Force Institute of Technology (1948). Married and has two children.

Major General Henry Irving Modes (rhymes with goad us), 52, Deputy Chief of Staff, U.S. Eighth Army, once rated one of the Army's top horsemen. After graduating from West Point (1920), he switched from the cavalry to the infantry. A tough, rangy, veteran line commander, he headed the 28th Division's 112th Infantry Combat team in World War II, was wounded in France, won the Silver Star for gallantry in action. Married, has two daughters, and a son at West Point.

Major General Paik Sun Yup, 32, Commander, Republic of Korea I Corps, was born in Pyongyang and was graduated from the Japanese Military Academy in Manchuria (1941). Served as a lieutenant with the Japanese army in China in World War II. He is considered one of Korea's ablest field commanders, is also a fluent linguist (Japanese, Chinese, English and Korean).
