Message Withdrawn 1 But yesterday, MacArthur sent| the VFW a message withdrawing| the statement. He said he regret- | ted to inform the veterans group that he had been “directed” tof withdraw it. Since President Truman alone could have given MacArthur such’ orders, it was pretty plain all along| that the directive had come from | the White House. Ross confirmed that today. If the hope was to keep Mac- Arthur's statement {rom becoming | public knowledge it was alost hope. | Text Distributed | The text of the statement had| already been distributed widely to| newspapers and magazines. ; One magazine—the U. 8. News| and World Report—had already| sent to the presses an issue con- taining the text, The magazine said it' had received permission from the VFW to go ahead with this procedure.

It was due to go on| sale at néwsstands tomorrow, The spokesman asked that the Tribune call again later. | On ‘the second call, the Tnhune"» ! related, the spokesman said he was| in no position to comment on pub- lication but added: “When a story has béen published and circulated, it seems to me that newspapers would pursue the usual practice of | printing the news.” FORMOSA MESSAGE | OF MacARTHUR IN CONG, RECORD NOW' ‘WASHINGTON, Aug. 28—(®—Re- publicans put into the Congres- sional Record today the text of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's statement on | Formosa and sharply criticized Pre- sident Truman for directing that the General withdraw it. Republican Leader Martin (Mass) | told the House it was “unfortunate” | that the President sought to:‘“sup- press” the statement after MacArth- ur sent it to the Chicago encamp- ! ment of Veterans of Foreign Wars. ' Martin said Mr. Truman’s action was “another exhibit of a bankrupt leadership.” | “It is to be taken by the Ameri- | can people as another flagrant ex-| ample of the incredible bungling | by the Administration over the past | five years, bungling which delivered Manchuria and most of China to| the Communists and which culmm-i ated in the Korean conflict,” he said. | “It is simply another chapter in| a long series of blunders whereby sound military advice was supressed and political decisions, in keeping with the policy of appeasing the Soviet Union, were superimposed . for political reasons.” CIVIL DEFENSE 15 | MEETING TONIGHT, COUNCIL CHAMBER ‘There will be an important meet- | ing of the Juneau Council for Civil Defense tonight at 7:45 at the City Council chambers.
