NEW YORK, May 2—The MacArthur story to date has been a saga of damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Some newspapers have criticized the General for the multiplicity of stories credited to his staff. At the same time, their army of reporters assigned to a 24-hour vigil is grousing because of his refusal = to desert his jovian retirément in the Waldorf Tower and submit to daily press conferences. It's a little less simple than it looks. For a start, the General’s return and the reception he received, plus the role he plays in relation to the President and the military fate of the nation, all seem to be unique. I have been told that the stories lavished by his aides have not
been
planned; that they were offered as a substitute
for personal MacArthur interviews, and were passed around more or less as a peace- pipe to a news-hungry press disinterested in the General's determination to catch up on some much needed rest, @* ¢ & I AM ALSO told that a great deal of the record breaking reception accorded Gen. MacArthur was unplanned, and that the Roman holiday tossed at him was mostly spontaneous. I happen to know that up to the time of his departure from Tokyo his schedule was open at both ends and in the middle, and that the General was actually naive, public-relationwise, in this particular instance. His timing, on arrival and his acceptance of adulation certainly has been less cynical than that of an average movie star. In the MacArthur piece the big emphasis has rested on one thing: Will his refutation of his firing at his appearance before a joint session of the Armed Forces and Foreign Relations Committees of the Senate be closed or open? I understand the man is loaded with documentary vindication of his position in regard to the Korean War and all that goes with it. His supporters insist that it is necessary that his presentation of the facts to insure his vindication must be made in an open hearing . .

MacArthur Story Needs Some Siudy
SOME OF the seeming pomposity ‘of Gen. MacArthur's hole-up in the hotel, his aloofness from: the press, has been necessary. The Waldorf has reported that the General's phone calls have ranged from three to four thousand per day. Very little of them came from crackpots. These calls with thousands of telegrams and mountains of mail furnished a tailormade madhouse in anybody's language, including a hero's. The MacArthur story needs some understanding. The General is not unused to adulation, but I find it tough to believe that he counted on the slavish adoration of six or seven million people in New York alone. He has been faced with the difficult situation
of coping with the fans while simultaneously
fighting a small, separate war along the lines of what he considers to be-the best interests of the nation, ? This hag put him strictly on the hook. If he talks, they say he talks too much. If he lets his aides talk for him, he has gone highbrow. If his spokesmen say the wrong thing, he reaps the rap, and up to now the wrong thing has [been said a couple of times. Many have thought stupid the story which said that Gen: MacArthur didn't know why he got canned. Gen. MacArthur's friends say the real reason has not yet been given. SBN SOME OF the working press dont love Gen. MacArthur too dear at this moment. That is understandable. You get tired of covering a guy. day after day, on second-hand statements. But I suspect that old gold hat is saving up his trenchant quotes for when he goes before the Senate in Washington this week. And Gen. MacArthur was never a feature-writer's delight. He was born dignified. But he is no amateur at furDishing an interest grabbing lead for a spot news story. It is not for me to clean him up from a standpoint of public relations. I never met the gentleman. But he has his problems, and he can’t win much money on any of them until after he climbs his big hump, which occurs this Week in Washington. What Gen. MacArthur says on the record, with. documents to back his talk, is the big, important point. of the week. completely in the deal—either Mr. Truman and his people and his policies, or Gen. MacA¥thur.

“If you believe all Americans are sequal under the law, then don’t get snaried in the legal briar patch surrounding the g driver,” advised Ned H. Dearborn, council president. “That’s one reason we are approaching the 1,000,000th auto death in this country.”
The council says the solution is the adoption of a uniform law which gives equal protection to the innocent and equal punishment to the guilty. Such a law is embodied in the uniform vehicle code, a model statute which the council and others concerned with public safety - first formulated 25 years ago. ~ ” » WHILE some states have adopted the code in entirety, or substantially so, in others only bits and pieces have found their
way into law. There the council’'s survey of the drinking driver statutes revealed much law but questionable justice.
For a first offense of driving under the influence of intoxicants, the model code recommends a minimum fine of $100 and a maximum of $1000. But in Minnesota, for example, it is a lot less expensive for a loaded driver to endanger human lives on a oy high-
way than it is for a loaded hunter to prowl the woods with a deer rifle. The driver can get off with a $10 fine—$100 at the most. Hunting while intoxi-. cated, however, is a gross misdemeanor, calling for a slap of not less than $100 and as much as $1000. » n n

Endless variations in the laws were found by the council, even on the question of what is a motor vehicle,

The last four days they get the equivalent of a final exam. It's a night and day field problem which is just about as tough a grind as the instructors can conceive. Everything they've learned in seven rough weeks is tested in these four days.
