General MacArthur Was Callously Brave

By H. D. QUIGG United |Press International NEW YORK (UPD—“That’s a nip gun," the General said, harking to a burst of automaticweapon fire down the road in front of us. Then he turned to to his aide, Col. Lloyd Lehrbas. and said: “Larry, get out and go down there and see what’s going on.” Larry got out of the jeep and went, although he didn’t look too happy about it. It was World War 11, and we were before Manila, maybe six or ten miles from the outskirts. The advancing American line was a couple or three hundred yards in front of the MacArthur jeep. MacArthur was a five - star man by that time, but he hadn’t bothered to change the insignia. Also, he never bothered to put on the green twill clothing that every other American wore in a combat area. His brown khaki uniform was a blazing signal for any sniper.

Callously Brave And since the Japanese at that time had honed and polished sniperism into a fine art - tying themselves in trees and waiting for someone who looked like a big shot to come within rangeit’s a wonder they never got him. Maybe they thought the whole thing was some kind of diabolical Yankee ruse. For a man who had been wounded twice, and knew how it felt. General MacArthur was callously brave. In Manila. wtyqn we held the northern bank of the Pasig River, a narrow stream, and the Japanese were on the southern bank, the general would walk along on the north side almost as if he were sticking his famous profile out and daring them to shoot at it. MacArthur was a pacer as he thought command decisions through during wartime. He was a believer in well-reasoned audacity of maneuver to outwit

the enemy. Pipe Always Out MacArthur could be highly dramatic, as when he flew into Korea on a dark day of the war there and declared: “No one is going to drive us into the sea.” (Never have I seen a face with such a determined look on it). Or when he escaped from Corregidor at the start of World War II - on the President’s order to break through the enemy lines and proceed to Australia - and said: “I came through and I shall return.” MacArthur was the only member of military high brass I evor encountered in wartime who wouldn’t talk about the war unless you prodded him. In talking, he had time to catch his breath often because his corncob pipe was forever going out because of inattention to it He would sweep up a box of matches, light it puffing vigorously, and then slam the matchbox down on the table before starting his discourse again. MacArthur could reiminisce charmingly about “my old daddy,” who was Lt. Gen. Arthur MacArthur, hero of the Civil War and Spanish - American War. When MacArthur was fired in 1951 by President Truman from his Far East commands, he got his first news of it while he was having a quiet lunch with two guests in Tokyo. An aide heard it on the radio and frantically summoned Mrs. MacArthur. She returned, bent down, and whispered the news to him. MacArthur was sternly silent for a moment. Then he said to her gently: “Jeannie, we’re going home at last."

London Is Most Surprising City

(EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first of a series of dispatches telling of “Great Cities of the World.” They will be -written by correspondents who have lived there for, many years. No. I—London By ROBERT MUSEL United Press International LONDON (UPD—-Some cities offer themselves as mistresses to the world. But not London. Some cities wear their hearts on their sleeves, hiding nothing, like that brazen metropolis across the English Channel, all smiling boulevards, whispering lime trees and invitations to romance. But npt London. Her grey skirts spread about her, she greets her visitors demurely. Those who have hurried along for a fleeting flirtation of ten grumb-le at the waste of time. London can be won but those who win her must come prepared to woo her as her real lovers have done for nearly 2,000 years. > Lifelong Affair It can be the start of a lifelong affair. For of all the great cities of the world London is the most continuously surprising. The grey cloak conceals a heart of fire. Her charms are not obvious but a bouquet of delights awaits those with the patience to seek them out. Some cities parade their attractions on their main streets. But not London. Her biggest and most famous thoroughfares are too often her dullest. Bus behind them are the almost secret places that all who know her learn to look for —the little markets, the cob bled mews, the sudden tre eframed squares, the ancient alleys and masked yards like Pickerin-g Place, opposite the palace of St. James’, last of her dueling grounds. “London thou art the flower of cities all.. .” So wrote one of her suitors about the time Columbus set sail for the new world with the blessing of Ferdinand and Isa bella of Spain (who gave St. Margaret’s Church in Westminster its stained glass window). Second Metropolis London is the second metropolis of the world in population next to Tokyo, It straddles the River Thames and from its geographical center at Charing Cross Station extends from 12 to 16 miles in all directions. Within its 722 square miles live 8.2 million people. By the middle of the first century A.D. aßoman historian was describing the town as “a busy emporium for trade and traders.” It still is. The London he was writing about was on the same site, though somewhat smaller, than the square mile c ailed “The City” — the present-day financial heart of the British Commonwealth and the sterling area which is at the core of 40 per cent of the trade of the world: The home of the great commodity markets, the hub of international insurance, one of the busiest of all ports. Housing Crisis The capital is overcrowded, there is a housing crisis and some way must be found to tempt the people to work else-

where. London lives in the present as though reluctant to leave its past it clings to ancient customs and to the many reminders that it is really a cluster of villages (Chelsea, Paddington, Hackney, Bow, Kensington, Dulwich, Greenwich, Battersea among Hham) which grew together over 1,000 years. Some find these old ceremonies out of touch with reality: most consider them charming. London’s surprises come in many ways. It has the reputation of being staid and conservative _ it could actually teach Paris a- naughty thing or two, and sexual dalliance is a problem for moralists. Two out of three girls 20 or under are already preg-nant at the time of marriage. One district has an illegitimacy figure of over 25 pd~ cent of births (Padding ton). The weather is happly described as foul by Londoners themselves. But the truth is that its mildness attracted raiders from the continent in olden times. There is rarely any snow, the average mean temperature is 50 degrees fahrenheit (New York’s is 56), the summers are coo-1 and pleasant and fogs are getting fewer every year as the city enforces smokeless zones (first suggest ed in 1661). British women are a final (and to most men a very pleasant ) surprise. Someone once described them as a nation of pygmalions all waiting for professor Higginses. Tourism is another industry. It is Britain’s largest dollar earner and London brings in the biggest share with 9 million visitors a year — behind only Rome and Paris in the number who arrive from overseas. Perhaps the last word be longs to one of London’s many great literary figures, Samuel Johnson, who said (Circa 1777): “Sire, when a man is tired of London he is tired of life.” Hospital Admitted Mrs. Oren Schultz, Decatur; Baby LeAnn Helmrick, Ossian; Mrs. John K.
