Miss Muir, formerly a movie ac tress, had been scheduled to play Mother Aldrith in the video show for 18 weeks this fall. Her succes sor has not yet been announced. "It seems unbelievable that an actress can have such a setback to her livelihood and career based on nothing more than unsubstan tiated accusations made over the telephone and by telegram, she said in a statement afterwards. "General Foods corporation It self makes clear in its statement that they have not gone into the truth of the charges and in no way support them or believe them true.

Administration Gagging M'Arthur Senator Charges WASHINGTON (P) Senator Knowland (R-Caiif) says the ad ministration is 'gagging" General Douglas MacArthur. Knowland called President Tru man's directive to MacArthur to withdraw his contemplated state ment on Formosa "another in a long series of efforts to keep the truth from the American people." The California Republican, who frequently has disagreed with ad ministration foreign policy toward the far Pacific, issued a statement in which he also demanded that a 'secret report" on Korea by Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer be mime public. Wedemever is the author of an other report on China which . the administration kept secret for j nearly three years. j It was published a year ago after insistent demanrjs in ion gress. Among other things', Wede meyer proposed a vast new aid program for Nationalist China, pro vided Generalissimo Chaing Kai- shek agreed to sweeping govern-,1 mental reforms. Knowland told a reporter the Wedemeyer report on Korea was made at the same time as the one on China. He said he had been allowed to examine it on a confi dential basis and added "it is highly significant." He said he would ask that the report be made available to the senate armed services and appro- E nations committee. He is a mem er of both. In his statement, Knowland said Ihe directive to MacArthur 'strongly indicates that Secretary of State Acheson and Trygve Lie, secretary general of the United Nations, are now preparing for an other Munich with the republic of China and the island of Formosa as the pawns."
