Bradley told senators today the foint chiefs of staff rec ommended dismissal of Gen. Doug las MacArthur because he was "not in sympathy" with Korean war plans. Testifying at hearings by the senate armed services and for eign relations committees on Mac Arthur's ouster as Pacific com mander, Bradley listed these rea sons why the military high com mand approved the removal: 1. MacArthur's nuhlic statements and communications "indicated that he was not in svmDatnv Wltn thc decision to try to limit the lhc decision to conflict to Kor wouW m,ke jt ores. He said this difficult for Mac- Arthur to carry out directives, add ing: "it was necessary to have a commander more responsive to control from Washington." ' 2. MacArthur "had failed to comply with the presidential di rective to clear statements on pol icy before making such statements public." Bradley said the Pacific com mander also had taken independent action in proposing to negotiate directly with the enemy field com mander for an armistice "and had made that statement public despite i j r level 3. The joint chiefs of staff "have felt and feel now that the military must be controlled by civilian au thority in this country." Civilian Rule Jeopardised Bradley said the joint chiefs had followed this principle and they fell MacArthur's actions were con tinuing to "jeopardize the civilian control over the military author ities." Bradley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, was back before the investigation committee for the first time since his testimony was interrupted last week by a dispute over whether he should testify shout private talks with President Truman. Bradley took Ihe attitude that his worth as a confidential advisor to the President would be de stroyed if he did tell what was said in conferences on the question of removing MacArthur from his far eastern commands. By a vote of 18 to 8. the com bined senate armed services and foreign relations committees de cided last Thursday that Bradley did not have to relate who said what at the White House meeting.

Pictures, Images Of Christ Ruined By Chinese Reds TAIPEH. Formosa (Pi The Chinese Nationalists say pictures and images of Jesus Christ are being ripped from the walls of churches in Red China. They are to be replaced by pictures of Com munist leader Mao Tie-tung and the Red Chinese flag. The Nationalist defense ministry reported: The order was Issued by the Communist relignus affairs bureau jr "eiD"?. It also 'fett nl-f..fes of the Apostles and other biblical figures on the general ground that they were "imperialists." The Reds also ordered the dis solution of all Christian organiza tions financed from the United States, saying: "American imperialistic elements and t!,e'r ru" -'t ' -vi ir a long time masked their aggresi sive activities under a camotuiage of religion." The ministry also said the Com munist religious affairs bureau had ordered a proba of activities ot tor- eign preachers.

Teachers Ousted In Balk At Oath OKLAHOMA CITY (Pt -A group of Oklahoma A k M profes sors ordered fired for not taking the state's complete loyally oath plan to appeal to the state supreme court. Their chief hope was that the high court would agree with Stale Attorney General Mac Q. William son that portions of the non-Communist oath are unconstitutional. District Judge W. A. Carlile Saturday ordered those fired who signed an altered oath or refused to sign at all. Some pledged allegiance to this country and swore they weren't Communists or members of organ izations labeled subversive by the U. S. attorney general. But they struck out a provision requiring a promise to bear arms in defense of the country, which the attorney general ruled was unconstitutkinal. The professors claimed religious scruples against fighting. Under the district court ruling, no public employes can remain on payrolls after May 9 when the oath law became effective with out taking the pledge.
