MacArthur Ouster Defended By Noland Ex-Congressman In Defense Os Action Bloomington, Ind., April 13— James S. Noland, former Democratic! congressman from the seventh district, backed up President Truman’s removal of General MapArthur last night in a speech before the Indiana University Jackson club here. \ At the same time, Noland charged Republican leaders with having “used the general continually \as a political instrument.” He said Republicans are “doing their best Jto capitalize politically now with no. consideration for the interests of our country.” \ . The MacArthur controversy, Noland said, resolves itself into two basic issues’ ONE: Shall the military leaders and forces of our’country continue to be subjected to Civilian control? - '' ' : \ TWO: J Shall we allow ourselves to !be pushed headlong into a full scale wkr in Asia which would exhaust opr nation and leave the Atlantic community helpless and defenseless? "Anyone who believes in civilian control of the military and wants to avoid all-put war \in China can only support the presidents action in relieving , MacArthur,” Noland said.
