New Eruption Os MacArthur, Truman Feud MacArthur Charges Fired Because Os Demand For Trial WASHINGTON (INS) — Gen. Douglas A. MacArthur's charge that he may have been fired for demanding a “treason trial" of red spies in Washington brought promise today of a senate investigation. Internal security subcommittee chairman James O. Eastland (D Miss.), told an interviewer: “As reported in the press, that is a very, very serious charge, and we shall certainly go into it." MacArthur made his accusation in categorically denying former President Harry S. Truman’s assertion that he ousted the Far East commander for being "insubordinate” in the Korean War. The general declared: “Mr. Tr®- ’ man's narration does such violence to the truth that to remain eil«pt would be a disservice to the nation ... it is a labyrinth of fancy and fiction, distortion and misrepresentation." The Mar Arthur and Truman versions of the firing both are in the Feb. 13 issue of Life magazine. MacArthur said: "What may well have triggered my removal was my recommendation, made in January shortly before my relief, that a treason trial be initiated to break up a spy ring responsible for the purloining of my top secret reports to Washington.” Truman, however, said he dismissed the general after a series of "insubordinations" in which the general opposed Washington policy aimed at preventing the spread of the Korean conflict into a third world war. The retired five -star general maintained that as a result of spy ring operations, the Communist Chinese intervened in Korea —with definite knowledge that the Truman administration would keep his forces in a “strait-jacket” and refuse him permission to bomb red bases in Manchuria. The general said he did not “intend to impugn in any way the loyalty or patriotism of President Truman and his high associates, and above all not to reflect the integrity and unquestioned greatness of the Democratic jarty which fwas then in power*” 4 .ft I coming after the Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter White scandals,, “caused the deepest resentmem” and'“probably was branded a political move to embarrass the mjministration." He declared that “the obstinacy which dictated the failure of President Truman to recognize the damage that could be done by red infiltrators and his Ted herring’ characterisation of all efforts to unmask them are among the astounding features of an astounding epoch.” ... Truman contended the MacArthur actions were climaxed on March 24, 1951, when the general threatened “the enemy with an ultimatum — intimating that the full preponderance of allied power might be brought to btfar against Red China.” The former President said MacArthur’s action destroyed the possible effect of a United Nations proposal to the reds for a negotiated cease-fire. Indianapolis Man Is Given Prison Term INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Sam Lockett, 55, of Indianapolis, today was under sentence of a 8500 fine and a 180-day state farm term for trying to steal 83 from a partially blind city bail vendor. Student Asks For Raise For Teacher NEW YORK (INS) —A seventh grade student, mindful of the financial plight of her math teacher, wrote the N- Y. Board of Education suggesting he get a raiseDiane Shaw, aged 12, wrote that the teacher, Jerome Mahrer, has “put up a lot with our class. I think it would be nice tor him to have a 2 or 3 dollar raise.” “No comment,” said a spokesman for the boardBrink's Suspects Sought In Capital INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Two suspected members of the 82-mil-lion Brinks’ robbery were being sought today in Indianapolis.

Hike Support Price For Oilseed Crop Support Level On Corn Is Decreased WASHINGTON (INS) — flecting the improved supply and demand conditions for oilseeds as indicated in the President’s Jan. 9 farm message to congress, the agriculture department Wednesday increased support levels for the 1956 oilseed crop. At the same time It set the support level for 1956 corn crop at |1.40 per bushel, compared to $1.58 a year ago. The minimum support level of |1.40 reflects SI per cent of the Jan. 15 corn parity price of $1.73 per bushel. The $1.58 per bushel support level for last year's corn crop reflected 87 per cent of parity. • Parity is a computed price which would give the farmer a fair returned in relation to his costs. The department said the indicated normal supply of 'corn for the 1956-57 marketing year is 3,628,000,000 bushels and the esti.mated amount of corn available for the year is 4,336.000,000 bushels. The 81 per cent minimum support level for 1956-crop corn, the department said, will not be reduced but may be increased if "a combination of the corn parity price as* of Oct 1, 1956 and corn supply relationships as of that date indicate a higher support price.” Allotments for the 1956 com crop in the 23-state commercial area announced on Feb. 1 were based on corn supply and consumption estimates. The allotment of 43,380,697 acres calle for * decrease of approximately IS per cent th this year’s commercial area acreage as compared with the allotment for the same area a year ago. The department alto announced that price supports for 1956-crop oats, barley, rye, and grain sorghums will be at levels reflecting 70 per cent of the Jan. 15 parity price. These 1956 supports are at the same per cent of parity as in 1955.

Observers Are Uncertain Os Ike Decision Latest Discussion Leaves Observers With Varied Views WASHINGTON (INS) — President Eisenhower’s latest discussion of his second-term thinking leaves some observers more convinced than ever that he will run again and others just as certain he will not. But, in the wake of Wednesday’s news conference, most believe that the President’s long - awaited announcement of his plans will be made by March 1. A ranking GOP spokesman told International News Service earlier this: week that the Chief Executive would make up hia mind and reports his decision on or before that d&te. • ... Mr. Eisenhower sajd Wednesday: "It would seem to me that I ought to have as much information by the end of this month as 1 am going te get.” To bolster the arguments of those who believe he will consider himself physically able to Win, the President pointed out that "the doctors certainly say my physical reactions,’ the clinical record, is splendid today.” But he also said: ”1 think I will trust my own feelings more than f will the doctor?’ reports, so I am Just trying to be honest in saying I will give an answer as quickly as I possibly can.” In response to questions on how he will make the announcement, the President said he would like to do it at a news conference but indicated that he believes a longer explanation is called for. To some, this seemed to point to a decision not to seek a second term. They argued that if the President agrees to accept the Republican nomination, he would need to give no explanation aside from reports from his physical examinations — expected to be completed by next Tuesday. ~ _ On the other band, many sources argued that if the President decided to seek another term, he would give a detailed account of bis physical condition in order to reassure the public at once that he was in condition to stand the strain Prqyepcy v for aa ° t J er four Judge Receives Copy Os Book On Traffic Judge Myles.F.

Urge Campaign For Highway Lighting Urged First Step In . Cutting Death Toll CLEVELAND (INS) —An all-out state-by-state campaign for lighting critical portions of the nation's rural highways was urged today as the first step, in slashing 8,000 fatalkies off the country's awesome highway death toll — “Amerlae’s nightmare." * Althouth night traffic is only one-third that of the daytime flow, .afterdark accidents take three'fifths of all Ilves lost on roads. Edmond C Powers, chairman of the committee on highway illumination for the American road builders association, said that 8,000 to 10,000 lives could be saved if only the dangerous portions of the country's 650,000 miles of state and federally-controlled rural highways were properly lighted "Thousands of innocent victims are dying in traffic accidents each year because they didn't see or weren’t seen,” Powers asserted. "Anyone who digs deeply into the cause of traffic accidents is bound to single out darkness as ths worst of all villains, and the culprit darkness can be routed by only one way we know of-light.” Powers cited as critical such highway segments as curves, intersections, bridges, overpasses, elevated and depressed areas, underpasses, tunnels, interchanges, railroad crossings, turnpike plasas and approaches. "We are not advocating that all of the country's rural roads be lighted,” Powers pointed out. “That would be absurd and financially Impractical. In m|any instances, only a few hundred feet of road need to be lighted to remove a danger spot ” z "Adequate lighting certainly ought to be designed into the new toll roads and highways to be built —at least in the critical sections of them,’’ be added "Traveling at stepped-up, pres-ent-day speeds and with the best In modern headlights, drivers today often see hatards too late to avert death or disaster. "People tend to over-drive their headlights high beam and they often have no warning of what lurks beyond the relatively short range of their lights. “Take the case of a man going 60 miles an hour. After seeing an object In hia head lights, he travels 60 feet before depressing his brake pedal in reflex action. The car then travels another j 206 Mfc before’,lt comesßoTl ItopT - • "Even the best high beam lights, we are told, illuminate only 250 feet ahead The man going 60 miles an hour requires a total of 266 feet to stop, and it the object is

stationary, chances are he’ll hit It before stopping ” Powers explained that 20,200 of the 36,000 traffic deaths in 1954 occurred at night and the after-dark toll in 1955-when an estimated 38,500 persons died In traffic accl-dents-will be even higher. in 1954. the last year for which official figures are available, 14,500 persons died in rural night traffic accidents and another 5,700 were killed in urban traffic mishaps, according to the national safety council. Rural night accidents caused Injury to another 486,000. Powers declared that the committee on highway illumination made a • special study of rural night accidents in 18 states and applied its findings to the nationwide after-dark toll./. ' The committee found that 45 3 per cent of the night deaths could be accounted for by fog, faulty vehicle lights, intoxication and other reasons, leaving darkness responsible for 54-7 per cent of the mishaps “By applying that 54.7 per cent figure to the 14,500 rural night deaths in 1954, we find that without the darkness factor, at least 8,000 lives could have been saver,” Powers explained. "Undoubtedly, darkness combined with such other factors as speed and intoxication also pushed the death rate upward.” Increase Reported In Murphy Earnings f). C. Murphy company earnings for 1955 reached $8,576,170, a gain of $1,157,763 over earnings of 1964. W. C- Shaw, chairman of the board, and J. 8.
