Thus he is a political oppo- nent, as weil as a military subor- dinate. 2. MacArthur maintains his own personal publicity representative inside the Republican National Committee —Brig. Gen. Bonner Fel lers. Gen. Fellers is in frequen contact with GOP leaders on Cap itol Hill, helps to plant speeche: in_the House and Senate. CArfhur has the ‘vigorbus support of some of the most pow- - erful leaders of the Republican par- ty, has entertained many of the nation’s leading publishers, is the personal friend of Hugh Baillie “head of the far-reaching United Press; also of Roy Howard, whose Scripps-Howard chain newspapers and United Press are controlled by the same interests, And it is obvious to the casual newspaper reader from the special, copyrighted inter- views issued by MacArthur to his friends, that his press treatment is 4f a nature equalled by few other “ublic figures—certainly not by Truman. The result has been that some Truman advisers have wanted their chief to fire the 7l-year-old Mac- Arthur on the ground that he was long past retirement age and was paying more attention to politics than to Korea. Other advisers have turned pale at the thought of any open break with MacArthur, argue that it would only give the general an excuse to come home and at- tack the administration. However, all groups agree that the political and military tug-of- war between Tokyo and the White House probably has been the most spectacular and difficult ever to exist between any president and a commander in the field. Labor Smiles Again Inside reason why the recent conference between labor leaders and their old friend Harry Truman went off so well was a private tip passed out to labor in advance that defense mobilizer Charlie Wilson's wings would be clipped. The clipping would begin, labor chiefs learned via the grapevine, with the creation of the new 17- man mobilization advisory board, a superstructure that will pass on such hot policy questions as labor's demand that the wage stabilization board handle disputes over work- ing conditions as well as wages. The labor chiefs were also tip- ped off, as they headed for the White House, that the “disputes” issue would be decided in their fa- vor. In other words, the wage sta- bilization board would handle hours and working conditions in addition to wages. At the meeting the President went even further, promising that future control over all mobilization policies would be vested in the new 17-man board, rather than in Wil- son. To make sure that Wilson's wings are clipped, the President | reported that he would personally “sit in” with the new board, com- posed of four public, four farm,| four labor and four management | representatives “at least once a month.” His labor callers took this to mean that Truman would act as chairman, instead of Wilson, in such cases, but the President didn’t clarify what his status would be at the meetings he attended. Truman Listens At no time during his chat with labor did the President criticize Wilson or indicate that the d. namic, former head of General Ej ectric was on his way out as boss mobilizer. He did not concur when CIG president Phil Murray bluntly declared: “Wwilson is unpalatable to every man here except yourself. He is the reason labor has not been able to serve in its proper place in the mobilization program. Laber wants %0 serve and would serve if Wil- son and big business hadn'i barred as.” AFL president Bill Green agreed. Labor has tried to work with Wilson,” Green said. “We are aware of the seriousness of the problems facing the country and have pat- riotically endeavered to get along with him, but his overbearing con- duct makes it impossible.” Truman said he understood la- bor’s position, but added that dif- ferences with management spokes- men were not insurmountable ‘and could be worked out “if you will be patient” until the new advisory board gets rolling, “We want you back in—I need your advice and help as much as I need that of business,” the Pres- ident insisted. “I get all the government advice I need,” he added with a broad grin, REGIONAL DIRECTOR DOROTHY PETRON OF GIRL SCOUTS COMING Schedule of conferences with Regional Director Miss Dorothy Petron were planned at the meet- ing of the Gastineau Channel Girl Scout Ceuncil in the Lutheran church Monday night. Mrs, John Clements, Commissioner, presided. Miss Petron will arrive here Sunday, April 15, and expects to spend a week in Juneau, The resignation of Mrs. Robert Boochever from the Council was accepted with regret after she stated that her family demands more time. However, with three potential girl scouts, she said she will return to scouting work at a future time. As cookie sale chairman, Mrs. Booch- ever reported that, after expenses, $283.20 went to the various troops while the profit to the council was $455.92. The latter sum is used pri- marily to carry on the summer camping. Court of Awards For the Court of Awards, Mrs. L. | J. Montgomery will be general chairman of this event in May. The council voted to oppose closing of the city library until the new build- ing is completed. It was felt that the children need the library as an ed- ucational and recreational center even more during vacation than when school is in session. In con- | {nection with the Juliette Low teas, | | Mrs. Clements said that Mrs. George | Matson is bringing a group of Doug- | | 1as girl scouts for the affair Thurs- 'day, April 12; while Mrs, Floyd Guertin will accompany her Doug- las Brownies for the tea, Tuesday, | April 17. | Mrs. John Brantner, general chairman of arrangements for Miss | Board luncheon at the Baranof Petron’s official visit, requested that reservations for the no-host lunch- eon at the Baranof Friday noon April 20 be phoned to her (Red 440) not later than April 16 (Monday) All those interested in girl scouting are invited to attend.
