Aug. 28 — tUP) — A controversial »tat*-mrnt by Gen. lyouglas MacArthur on the future of FurnxtMi ordered nuppres«>-d by President Truman was put on the public record In congress today In that statement, the United Nations commander expressed the view that a friendly Formosa I* nations commander expressed the railed states.
