Mac ARTHUR AGREES TO ADDRESS CONGRESS
Republicans Seek Ouster Probe;
Martin Talks of Impeachments'
x__-___
G. 0. P. Chiefs Phone Tokyo;
Aide Says General Would Be
'Delighted' to Return Here
Senate and House Republican leaders said this after
noon after a telephone call to Gen. Douglas MacArthur
in Tokyo that the ousted Far Eastern commander wotild
be “delighted and honored” to return home and present
his views to Congress.
The call to Gen. MacArthur was placed during a strategy
meeting of top Republicans irate over President Truman’s sum
mary dismissal of Gen. MacArthur.
The meeting was held in the office of House Minority Leader
Martin. Mr. Martin told reporters possible impeachment pro
ceedings were discussed at the meeting.
Mr. Martin said he hoped that “within three weeks’’ Gen.
MacArthur would speak at a
joint session of Congress.
Resolutions calling for a joint
session to hear Gen. MacArthur
were prepared by Mr. Martin and
Senate Minority Leader Wherry.
McFarland Blocks Proposal.
Senator Wherry introduced his
in the Senate at 12:20 p.m. and
sought to get unanimous consent
to have it taken up later in the
day.
Senate Democratic Leader Mc
Farland objected and Vice Presi
dent Barkley announced it would
“go over under the rule.” This
means that it could be delayed in
coming up for Senate action for
an indefinite period.
Mr. Martin announced the Re
publican move for Gen. Mac
Arthur to address a joint session
and for an investigation of his
ouster in a brief statement to the
House in which he referred to the
general as “Senator MacArthur.”
When Democrats laughed, Mr.
Martin retorted:
“He might be even higher later.”.
Democrat Move Uncertain.
Representative Cox, Democrat,
of Georgia said he would be glad
to support the Republican demand,
for an investigation if the inquiry
Included the State Department.
Mr. Martin said the State De
partment would be included.
What the Democrats would do
eventually about the Republican
move was not immediately clear.|
While some of them would like:
to obtain the general's views, the
move to have him air his views
in a joint session is regarded as
another matter.
Mr. Martin said he had not
talked with Gen. MacArthur per
sonally since the Far Eastern
commander’s removal. But he
added he was given assurance by
a spokesman in the general's office
that the general would return and
give his views.
Full Inquiry Sought.
Mr. Martin also announced
after the hurriedly called confef
ence that the Republican leaders
had agreed there should be a con
gressional investigation of “the
whole question of the conduct of
foreign and military policy.”
Asked about the discussion of
Impeachment and against whom
It was directed, Mr. Martin tersely
replied:
“Anybody that the inquiry
shows has transgressed the laws.”
He made it clear, however, that
there was no decision at the meet
ing on instituting impeaching
proceedings.
Among those who attended the
meeting were Senators Taft of
Ohio, Wherry, Bridges of New
Hampshire, Knowland of Cali
fornia, Wiley of Wisconsin and
Smith of New Jersey.
Senators Wiley and Smith are
ranking Republican members of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee which would figure in
any possible investigation along
the lines agreed on at the con
ference.
Martin Dictates Statement.
Mr. Martin said those attend
ing the meeting agreed fully on
this statement he dictated to re
porters:
"At the conference it was
agreed—
“1. That the whole question of
the conduct of foreign and mili
tary policy be investigated by Con
gress in the light of the latest
tragic developments.
"2. That the Congress should
have the complete views of Gen.

Britain has asked the United
States to revise the proposed Japa
nese peace treaty so as to give
Formosa to the Chinese Com
munists.
Britain has also asked the
American Government to include

Note Presented to Dulles.
The British note was presented
to Ambassador John Foster Dulles,
President Truman’s special rep
resentative for the peace treaty
negotiations, by Ambassador Sir
Oliver Franks of Britain.
The development marks a se
rious break between the two fore
most Western powers over how
to handle the treaty. It is, more
over, a wholly unexpected break.
Some officials here are inclined
to attribute it to Britain’s new
foreign minister, Herbert Morri
son, who succeeded Ernest Bevin
last month.
The impression is growing here
that Mr. Morrison visualizes a
kind of “middle way” position for
Britain in some respects, as be
tween the United States and the
Communist bloc. The situation is
tentatively estimated as being
similar to that which existed about
five to six years ago, when Bevin
was newly in office and cherished
the idea that Britain could serve
as a bridge between Communist
east and capitalist west.
MU MIUVIIIU^
There has been no serious in
timation, responsible informants
said, that Mr. Morrison wants to
weaken the solid British-French
American alliance which, includ
ing other smaller nations, is
formalized in all the arrange
ments for the defense of the,
Western world.
The situation is not the same
on Far Eastern policy, however,
and it is apparent that the rifts
between London and Washington
policies for that part of the world
are widening.

'Finest Hour'
For MacArthur,
Aide Declares
By the Associated Press
TOKYO, April 11.—Gen. Mac*
Arthur received the news of dis
missal from all his commands to
day “magnificently and without
turning a hair.”
Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney,
military secretary of the United
Nations command, told newsmen
Gen. MacArthur would have no
public comment “for the time.”
He added:
“I just left the general. He re
ceived the word of the President’s
dismissal from command mag
nificently. He never turned a hair.
His soldierly qualities were never
more pronounced.
“This has been his finest hour.”
The firing of Gen. MacArthur,
by President Truman, came with
the drama and irony which has
marked the five-star general’s 47
years of active military life.
Even in defeat, he added an
other precedent to a career stud
ded with them—the first dismis
sal of history’s first United Na
tions commander.
The general with the dramatic
touch went out under circum
stances more like the stage than
war. His notice came without
warning during a quiet luncheon
at his home.
It was just as if nothing had
happened—but an era had ended.
Some soldiers stood in front of
the huge steel and concrete build
ing from which Gen. MacArthur
had ruled Japan for more than
five years. They gazed idly

By the Associated Press
LONDON, April 11.—The firing
of Gen. MacArthur was greeted
with relief today by British offi
cials who said they believed
chances for making peace with
Red China in Korea were im
proved.
The first reaction among West
ern diplomats in Moscow, much of

Europe and elsewhere was much
the same. The news reached Mos
cow too late to be included in
morning papers there, but Western
diplomats in the Soviet capital
said they also believed President
Truman’s action had increased the
chances of a Korean peace settle
ment.
“The dismissal of MacArthur
may lead to a new chance for a
truce in the East,” commented the
Norwegian Liberal newspaper. Oslo
Dagbladet.
Ready to Negotiate Peace.
Foreign Secretary Morrison said
Britain is now ready to negotiate
a cease-fire in Korea but the
“other side” so far had shown no
desire to stop the hostilities.
The first quotable comment
from any high official was from
Defense Minister Emanuel Shin
well, who, however, did not men
tion Gen. MacArthur by name.
“It is not the function of a
commander,” he said in a speech,
“to dictate the political policy
which governs operations. . . .
Fortunately we have no trouble
of that kind in this country,
though occasionally our admirals
and generals do let themselves
go.”

Eisenhower Hopes MacArthur
Won't Return as Storm Center
By the Associated Press
COBLENZ, Germany, April 11.
—Gen. Eisenhower, visibly sur
prised and concerned, expressed
the hope today Gen. MacArthur
would not return to the United
States and become a center of
controversy and acrimony.
Advised of President Truman’s
action by a reporter, the Atlantic
pact commander first showed sur
prise, and said, “That’s one you
couldn’t expect me to comment
on.”
He shook his head and ex
claimed, “I’ll be darned.”
He resumed watching Army
maneuvers for a few moments
and then turned to reporters and
added:
"I hope he (MacArthur) will
not return to the United States
and become a controversial figure.
f *
I would not like to see acrimony
develop.”
Gen. MacArthur’s dismissal ob
viously was on his mind as he in
spected British, American and
French forces in Germany.
He again turned to reporters
standing near and said:
“I worked for MacArthur for
nine years in his office. We’re old
buddies. I was the only one who
argued with him on official mat
ters, but he kept me with him.
I was a major when he was a
four star general.” both are five
star generals now.
Told the reasons the President
had given for his action, Gen.
Eisenhower shook his head and
said, “When you put on a uniform
there are certain inhibitions
^hich you accept.” ^
Policy Dispute
Climaxed With
Surprise Move
By Joseph A. Fox
President Truman today sum
marily dismissed Gen. Douglas
MacArthur from his Far East
commands in a move bound to
have prolonged political rever
berations.
The dramatic action came with
out advance indication and cli
maxed a long-standing disagree
ment between Gen. MacArthur
and the administration over po
litical and military strategy in
the Pacific.
It was touched off by recent
MacArthur statements criticizing
American policy in Korea—state
"Gen. MacArthur's comments were so
sharp that serious observers discussed
whether he would resign as supreme
commander (in August, 1945)," writes
John Gunther in "The Riddle of Mac
Arthur," referring to a disagreement
with Secretary of State Byrnes.
Poge A-4
ments that disturbed the admin
j istration and caused uneasiness
among allies of the United States,
particularly Britain and France.
To a hastily-summoned press
conference at the White House at
1 o’clock this morning, Press Sec
retary Joseph Short issued a state
ment announcing "with deep re
gret” that Gen. MacArthur was
being relieved by Mr. Truman be
cause he had concluded that the
general "is unable to give his
wholehearted support to the poli
cies of the United States Govern
ment and of the United Nations in1
matters pertaining to his official j
uuues.
Similar Order Seat to Tokyd.
At the same time an order of
similar tenor went forward to Gen.
MacArthur, who was instructed to
turn over his commands at once
to Lt. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway,
head of the 8th Army in Korea,
who now becomes supreme com
mander, Allied Powers; command
er in chief, United Nations Com
mand; commander in chief, Far
East, and commanding general,
United States Army, Far East. Lt.
Gen. James A. Van Fleet will take
over the 8th Army.
Officials here anticipated no
questioning by Russia or other
nations participating in the Jap
anese occupation of the appoint
ment of Gen. Ridgway as supreme
commander. The basic directive of
the Far Eastern Commission gives
the United States Government
complete authority to name the
supreme commander in Japan.
Tokyo reported that the news
struck MacArthur headquarters
with the suddeness of a thunder
clap, not the slightest intimation
having been received of such a
move, although Army Secretary
Frank Pace is in the Korean area.
Letter Brought Showdown.
President Truman finally moved
in on the colorful general as the
direct result of a letter the officer
wrote to House Minority Leader
Martin on March 20, indorsing a
suggestion that Chinese National
ist troops immobilized on Formosa,
be employed in the Korean cam
paign, despite the known antag
onism of Washington to such an
operation.
Since that letter was made pub
lic by Mr., Martin, the White
House has remained consistently
silent on the subject of Gen. Mac
Arthur, and while some of the
President’s advisers supposedly
were urging him to crack down
on the officer, authoritative sources
were reporting that nothing dras
tic was in the works. The Penta
gon has been equally quiet. Only

At Nationalist Shrine
By th« Associated Press
ARBROATH, Scotland, April 11.
—Britain’s famed coronation stone
—or its twin—was delivered today
to the custodian of Arbroath
Abbey—a shrine of Scottish na
tionalism. The stone had been
stolen from Westminster Abbey in
London on Christmas morning.
Intermediaries in the delivery
were two members of an organiza
tion seeking more self-rule for
Scotland. It was plain from their
statement that they believed the
stone should remain in Scotland.
The men said they acted “with
great sincerity” to enable the stone
to be “safely restored to the
Scottish people and the King.”
The famed Stone of Scone was
placed in the high altar of the
abbey, on the grave of King Wil
liam the Lion, King of Scotland
from 1143 to 1214. The abbey,
founded in 1178, is largely in ruins
now.
Two unsigned letters, one ad

LAKE SUCCESS, April 11.—
Surprised United Nations diplo

order ousting Gen. MacArthur as
U. N. commander in Korea.
The delegates were not talking
for publication, but their com

they have taken in the weeks of

shows that the President did ex

South Korean circles in the
U. N., however, were unhappy over
the swift change, but they refused

The British, French and Rus

Truman Calls Records
Of Phone Talks With
Tobey 'Outrageous'
Withdrawal of Charges
Against Legislators
By President Reported
The White House today de
nounced as “outrageous” the re
ported action of Senator Tobey.
Republican, of New Hampshire, in
recording telephone conversations
with President Truman dealing
with the investigation of the Re
construction Finance Corp.
Word from Capitol Hill was
that the Senate subcommittee in
vestigating the RFC was told that
Senator Tobey had recorded two
conversations with Mr. Truman.
In one Mr. Truman was said to
have charged that members of
Congress had accepted fees for
obtaining RFC loans for constitu
ents. In the second conversation!
Mr. Truman was understood to;
have said he was mistaken in!
making the charge.
Asked today what the White
House thought about the reputed
recordings, Press Secretary Joseph
Short said:
“The President thinks that the
recordings of telephone conversa-;
tions is outrageous—no matter by
whom.
Every Word Can Be Public.
“As far as he is concerned every
word can be made public.
"The President has no record
ing: he never has had. You will
have to go to Senator Tobey to
find out what was said.”
Asked specifically if the Presi
dent felt that the reported re
cordings of his talk was an out
rage, Mr. Short said, “He cer
tainly does!”
The President was not aware
that the conversation had been
recorded.
Bennett Regrets “Leak.”
Senator Tobey, a member of
the Senate Banking Committee,
formerly served on the subcom
mittee investigating RFC, and on
several occasions took part in
questioning at the recent open
hearings.
Senator Bennett, Republican, of
Utah expressing amazement and
regret that some one on the sub
committee apparently had leaked
the story, commented that it was
public now and that he would
not deny he heard Senator Tobey
make the statements at the closed
session last week.
Senator Tobey and the Presi
dent, for their, own protection,
should insist that the recording
be played for public hearing, he
added.
Phone Callers Blast Truman,
Man in Street Defends Him
Washington’s average citizens
today rolled with the historic
punch that knocked Gen. Mac
Arthur from his high post, but
there were some—especially wom
en—who felt President Truman
should be impeached.
The Star’s switchboard began
buzzing at 6:30 a.m. with calls
from indignant citizens. Some of
the women callers were tearful
and spluttered their wrath
through sobs. Others were just
so plain mad they had difficulty
talking coherently.
While calls to The Star gen
erally denounced President Tru
man, the man in the street felt
differently. On Pennsylvania ave
nue between Eleventh and Twelfth
street a reporter questioned 15
pedestrians. Ted of them sup
ported President Truman and five
went all out for Gen. Mac Arthur.
A cross section of the j^iews
voiced on the street and over the
telephone follows:
Mrs. Polly Chichester, 5705
Forty-third avenue, Hyattsville,
described Gen. MacArthur’s re
moval as a "terrible thing."
"I’ve been a Democrat all my
life, but derned if I’m one now,
A declaration of war wouldn’t
have shocked me as much as the
news of Gen. MacArthur’s re- j
moval.”
Mrs. Frank J. McSherry of 3232
Garfield street N.W., whose hus
band is a retired brigadier gen
eral, said:
“I feel, and so do my neigh
bors, that President Truman
should be impeached. I am not
speaking for my husband, but I
know I’m going to vote for Gen.
MacArthur as our next President
and so will lots of our friends.”

Bill to Disperse
20,000 Is Sent
To Senate Floor
Committee Approves
Removal of Vital
Federal Agencies
By Francis P. Douglas
The Senate Public Works Com
mittee today approved the dis
persal bill providing for the re
moval of vital agencies with 20,000
employes to new buildings to be
erected on four sites in the sub
urbs.
The measure also provides au
thorization for decentralization—
the transfer of agencies to other
places in the United States. The
bill states that it shall be the ob
ject to transfer not less than 25,
000 positions from the District
area in the decentralization pro
gram.
Chairman Holland of the sub
committee which handled the bill
said the measure would be intro
duced on the Senate floor this
afternoon.
He said nine members of the
full committee voted in favor of
the measure, and that no vote was
cast by Senator Martin, Repub
lican, of Pennsylvania.
Democratic Senators McClellan
of Arkansas and Stennis of Mis
sissippi, and Republican Senator
Cain of Washington, who are out
of the city, were not recorded as
voting. Senator Holland said,
however, he believes that all three
men would have voted for the
measure.
$107 Million Funds in Bill.
Chairman Chavez of the full
committee and Senator Hennings,
Democrat, of Missouri, voted by
proxy and were recorded in favor.
Senator Holland said they were
prevented by other business from
being present.
The bill is a revision of the
measure originally introduced in
the last session. It carries au
thorization for the appropriation
of $107 million, whereas the orig
inal measure provided for an ap
propriation of $190 million.
The $107 million is broken down
this way: For construction of
fdur permanent buildings with
land and utilities. $70 million; for
a circumferential highway, $28
million; for other highway con
struction, $4.5 million, and for
communications, $4.5 million. The
measure directs mat as space De
comes available in Washington,
with the dispersal and decentral
ization programs, the General
Services Administration shall tear
down the World War II tempo
rary buildings. These now provide
office space for 31,000 Government
workers.
Provision is made in the bill
for a joint committee on dis
persal, demolition and decentral
ization. It would be composed of
five members each from the Sen
ate and House Public Works Com
mittees, and shall keep watch on
the progress of the program.
The Senate is expected to take
up the measure next week.
Only Reasonable Solution.
In its report today the subcom
mittee said:
“It is clear that unless citadel
structures are to be built, which
could be accomplished only at a
tremendous cost, an orderly and
well-planned dispersal of the more
vital facilities and personnel, to
gether with a decentralization of
certain less vital activities of the
Government, is the only reason
able solution to the problem.”
The problem referred to is that
of the safety and continuity of
government in event of attack.
The reference to citadel was to the
practice adopted by Great Britain
of providing stout buildings with
underground ounkers for govern
ment offices.
A bill identical to the Senate bill
is expected to be introduced in the
House. There it would take the
place of the measure which was re
jected by a House Public Works
Subcommittee.
Press Club Cashier
Dies After Hearing
MacArthur News
The night cashier of the Na
tional Press Club died early today
of a heart attack, apparently
brought on by his excitement over
the news of Gen. Mac Arthur’s dis
missal.
He was John B. Gray, 62, who
had been employed by the club
for about a year and a half.
Scheduled to go ofT duty at
midnight last night, Mr. Gray
apparently heard in advance of
the special White House press
conference that Gen. MacArthur
was to be relieved. Spottswood
Oonway Walker, the cashier re
lieving him at midnight, said Mr.
Gray rushed oft in great excite

Mr. Gray went to his home at
2647 Woodley road N.W. and sat
up for awhile listening to news
broadcasts, his wife told Police
