MacArthur Probe Might Have to Begin All Over
By United Press WASHINGTON, May 18
MacArthur investigation might Just as well begin all over in view of President Truman's statement that he considered firing the General for a year. - ~ . e Gen. Douglas ‘MacArthur was
at a loss to explain Mr. Truman's"
statement. He said he was astonished to the-point of Vincredulity.” “My. Truman told his news conference yesterday he had’ considered dismissing the former Pacific commander for about a year before he fired ‘him Apr. 11. He said he made up his mind when Gen.” MacArthur served a peace ultimatum on the .Chinese Reds on Mar. 24, Harsh Words Geh. MacArthur reported in New York that the action on his
part “would only be regarded as
supplementary to and in full support of any political move toward * peace unless an agreement was in contemplation on the enemy's own terms.” These seemed to be harsh words in light of the administration's
avowed attempts to secure peace “without appeasement” in Korea. The investigation by the Senate Armed Services-Foreign Relations Committee, its bipartisan surface harmony already broken. ap~peared headed for more stormy sessions, For two weeks a 26-man committee has diligently questioned Gen. MacArthur, Defense Secretary George C. Marshall and Gen. Omar N. Bradley about events immediately preceding Gen. MacArthur's discharge. Mr. Truman's statement brought the lawmakers to a surprised halt.
‘ +... New Avenue’ Sen. Styles Bridges (R. N. H.) gaid Mr. Truman had opened up “an entirely new avenue” for investigation and that it looked as though “long standing personal differences” between the Chief Executive and Gen. MacArthur accounted for the firing. Sen. Bourke B. Hickenlooper (R. 1a.) called the latest developments in the boiling controversy “fantastic,” in view of the ‘“fanfare” of top secret conferences which - surrounded and immediately preceded the dismissal. Sen. Walter F. George (D. Ga.) believed it meant “prolonging” the inquiry and “going back over all of it again to see what the
Although Mr. Truman didn't elaborate on his troubles of the past year with Gen. MacArthur, it appeared U. S. policy regarding Formosa may have been where the pinch came.

Dodd ran 150 to 200 yards to the top with some hand greriades “and we didn’t hear the mortar any more.” At daybreak and under a dense fog, Lt. Dodd led the platoon against the remaining enemy positions to take the hill. Also to get the nation’s highest award are Sgt. John A. Pittman, 22, Tallula, Miss., squad leader, and M-Sgt. Ernest R.

most premature hurricane ever) to threaten the tourist meccas] of Florida's lower east coast ploughed out to sea today. It was aimed at the northern
edge of the British vacation islands to the east: The Miami Weather..Bureau
said the small twister was centered about 130 miles east of Jupiter, Fla. Although storm. warnings were hauled down along ‘the’ coast last night, the Weather “Bureau warned small craft to stay close to port. The ‘“wrong-way, wrong-time”
storm that boiled up out of the
Atlantic yesterday carried winds| estimated at 75 miles an hour,! with gales extending outward 50 miles. A Heads Eastward It was moving eastward at about four miles an hour, and, there were indications that the hurricane may turn northward later today. The storm posed a strong threat to Grand Bahama Island, a flat, sparsely populated stretch of Brit-| ish-owned land where the multi-| million-dollar tourist playground! —“Butlin’s Bahama” —is located. | No guests were reported at the resort, which is in bankruptcy. Spawned more than a month before the “official” hurricane season opens, the storm was labeled a “freak of freaks” by the| Weather Bureau. The summer, and autumn tropical weather] giants generally head northward.! This “freak” swept out of the north and spun southward.

THE DAROFFS-PATER and SONS
The aged and venerable Mr. Daroff passed away a few years ago. He was an earnest, sincere citizen with an uncomplicated ambition. All he wanted in life— was to make a "GOOD" suit— His idea of a good suit was a strong, stocky fabric, strongly put together, that would hold up against long and severest usage.
HE'S WON respect for his stubborn thoroughness. His sons grew up in the business, trained in that tradition —it is their heritage—And they are building —von-it==with- "progressive GOODness."
