So when Secretary Pace called | from Tokyo Tuesday night intima- ting that MacArthur might rush | ‘nto print again, the President called Secretary of State Acheson and Deputy Undersecretary Dean Rusk to the White House where they prepared the MacAFthur press release. Prior to that, late on Monday afternoon the joint chiefs of staff held a highly secret session at which there was unanimous senti- ment that MacArtiur must go. Bradley Gets Hot Gen. Omar Bradiey chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and a most | mild-mannered man, was hottest under the collar against MacArth- ur. He complainel to colleagu that MacArthur’s constant so:nd- ing-off about war with China was undegrcutting our whole defensc plan in Europe and making Gen- eral Eisenhower's work three times as difficult. Adm. Forrest Sherman, chief of Naval operations, and reportea by some as favoring MacArthur's strategy against China, actually threw his weight behind Bradley.| Though MacArthur's tactics inclu- ded a Naval operation against Chi- na, Admiral Sherman argued that we can't afford to get involved in| war with China, and that if you go into China just a little bit—as in bombing bases—you have to be| ready to go in all the way. | Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg of the| air forces and Gen. Joe Collins,| Army Chief of Staff, concurred. Qnly military man who dragged his feet on MacArthur's ouster was Secretary of Defense Marshall, who has known MacArthur a long time, is 70 years old against MacArthur's 71, and who was in France as a World War I captain when Mac- Arthur was a Brigadier General. Ridgway Can Hold One highly significant exchange of information made between the Pentagon and Lieut. Gen. Matthew Ridgway in Tokyo was a cable| from Ridgway stating that no mat- ter what happened, his troops could hold out for 60 days. Regard- less of what was thrown at him,} Ridgway informed the joint chiefs | of staff, he could hold for two| months. | This cable was in reply to White House fears that following Mac- | Arthur’s removal, there might be a Chinese attack and = series ot | American defeats for which Tru- | maRp, having removed the aupxeme! commander would get the blame. ; | Humble Harry | President Truman's usual peppery | remarks have not been in evidence | during the MacArthur controversy | —not even to his personal advisers. The nearest he came to pepper was ‘at last week’s cabinet meet- ing, just after ex-speaker Joe Mar- tin released the MacArthur letter. “It's time to show the MacAr- thurs, the Time-Life people and the, Scripps-Howard newspapers who is running American foreign policy,” he observed tartly. | terrible storm was going to break Day after MacArthur was re-| lieved, however, Truman received a | call from ex-Congressman Maury Maverick of Texas, who congratu- lated him. “What you have done will make sure that my grandchildren will be free and that civilian government will continue in the United States,” Maverick said. The President was neither cocky nor apologetic. He looked a little sad, as if he had made a terrific- ally hard decision and knew that a over his head. s*Thank you, Maury,” he replied. And he wept just a little. “I do my best. I have to follow the con- stitution.” Truman went on to tell how hard he had tried to cooperate with MacArthur, how he had flown across the Pacific to meet him on Wake Island. 'Don Wilson iestifie; Taxi Anti-Trust Case ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Aprii 14— (P—A government rebuttal witness told a Federal District Court jury here yesterday that cab drivers on trial for violation of anti-trust law had not been told by him what fares they could charge. The witness was Capt. William L Sauls, Jr., of the 39th Air Police squadron. Capt. Sauls, called by the government after the defense had rested its case, said he couldn’t tell the drivers what to charge he had no such authority. Defense witnesses had testified earlier that military authorities dic- tated what rates to charge. Capt, Sauls was followed to the stand by Donald R. Wilson, former “You will never know how hard I tried,” he said. MacArthur’'s Grand Strategy General ~ MacArthur's grand strategy for China has never been spelled out in detail to the public, Lut it has been argued back and forth repeatedly with Army chief of staff Gen. Joe Collins and Adm. Forrest Sherman during their trips to Tokyo. Here is what it kcls down to: 1. A mighty U. 8. air strike against Chinese bases in Manchuria where Chinese reserves do their regrouping; also against the Muk- den arsenal which sends arms to Korea. 2. A U. S. air and sea bombard- ment of the China coast. This would include U. 8. battleship bombardments of China's big coas- tal cities, such as Shaughai and Tientsin. 3. Chiang Kai-shek’s troops to be armed by the United States and landed on the Chinese mainland in a major invasion. 4. Simultaneously an all-out U. N. attack in Korea, with additional troops sent from the United States. When MacArthur has been re- minded that some U. N. allies, such as Great Britain, might back out of such a war, Mac has said in ef- fect: “Let 'em back out.” He be- lieved the United States could prosecute the war just as well alone. When MacArthur has been warn- ed about the danger of Russia’s coming in, under her mutual-as- sistance pact with China, he ar- gued that Russia is only bluffing. MacArthur's intelligence showed 15 Red Army divisions in Siberia, but he continued to maintain that Moscow would not move. ADJUSTER HERE A, T.
