MacArthur Firing j May Revive Move| To End Fighting From the wires of Associated Press (.i n. ! luuglas McArthur's removal is expected to clear the way for possible new political move to end the Korean fighting. Ii may revive immediately consideration of a proposed 14-na tioii declaration on Korea. A tentative draft of this was circulat ing last month among the other nation which have forces in Korea when the showdown crisis over MacArthur arose. It was sidetracked then but State Department officials said Wednesday it is definitely still alive. 'I he priiposed K orean declaration u a originated by the l/nited Stales. It would be in ettect an imitation to the Chinese Com munists to cease lire and agree to settlement of outstanding issues by negotiation. '1 lie declaration was firm in asserting that with the return of the 1 nited Nations forces to the .48th parallel, the principal ob jective of repelling North Korean aggression had been achieved. 11 reportedly also set forth that with this turn of events further 1 X objectives, such as unification of Korea and establishment of free government for all the country, could he accomplished without further bloodshed. Before being issued, the draft was submitted by the joint chiefs of staff to General MacArthur for his comment. To the astonishment of officials here. MacArthur issued his own pro nouncement of March 21 which adopted some essential points of the proposed declaration but contained, too. an implied threat of extension of the Korean War to China. Mac Arthur's statement led to sidetracking of the proposed Ti-nation declaration and helped precipitate the crisis which resulted in President Truman's summary removal of the Far Eastern commander. President Truman Suddenly Scheduled. .. ... a White House conference this afternoon with Secretary of State Arhcson and John Foster Dulles, State Department authority on Far Eastern affairs. There was no immediate explanation for the (1:30 P.M. F,ST) addi tion to the day's list of Presidential conference. U. N. Assembly President. .. . . . Nasrollah Entezam culled a meeting Wednesday of the U. N. Good Offices Committee to see what it can. do toward peace, in Korea as a result of President Truman’s ouster of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Delegates in some quarters expressed a belief that the chances of peace are better. A general sigh of relief arose in the U. N. at the ouster, which several delegates said privately was long overdue. The News That President Truman. .. . . . fired General MacArthur and picked Lt. Gen. Matthew B. Hidg way to replace him spread fast in Koiea. "I'll be damned!" a lieutenant exlaimed. "They at least could have given him a chance to resign,” chipped in a young enlisted man. “They could have put on a show unyway.” "It's about time,” cracked another GI. "You just can’t tell everybody that the President and the Chiefs of Staff don't know how to run the war, like MacArthur has done." An officer close to Ridgway said: “If the General leaves (Korea) on the 12th I’m going to try to get out on the 13th." General Eisenhower, Visibly Surprised... . . . and concerned, expressed the hope Wednesday that Gen. Douglas MacArthur would not return to the United States and become a center of controversy and acrimony. y Advised of President Truman's action by a reporter, the Atlantic Pact commander first showed surprise, and said, “That's one you couldn't expect me to comment on.” Told the reasons the President had given for his action, Eisenhower shook his head and said, ‘When you put on a uniform there are certain inhibitions which you accept.” Command of U. N. Forces in Korea. . . . . . .shifted abruptly Wednesday from General MacArthrir to' Lt. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgwny. Many of the fighting rnen in the Korean front lines did not know at a late hour Wednesday that President Truman had fired MacArthur. The U. N. drive into Red Korea ground ahead. Allied air and artillery barrages wiped out the key Chinese base of Chorwon on the western front, 17 miles north of the border. American, British, and Turkish troops scored new gains. On the central front, American troops drove along the southern shores ot Hwachon reservoir toward the big dam and power grid. South Korea was virtually free of Communist troops. The last major pocket of Reds was holding out west, of the Imjin River on the extreme western front. The House Refused... . . . Wednesday to restrict the sending of American troops to Europe to serve in General Eisenhower’s Atlantic Pact army. By a standing vote of 192 to 168 it defeated an amendment to a draft extension bill. Republicans stoutly supported the amendment, which was sponsored by Rep. Towe (R-NJ ). Towe’s amendment would prohibit sending future inductees to Europe as part of an Atlantic Pact army without approval by both blanches of Congress. Britain Came Out Officially... . . . Wednesday for the eventual return of Formosa "to China,’’ mean ing Red China. In his comment, the spokesman studiously avoided saying Formosa should be returned “to the Chinese government.” Britain has broken with Generalissimp Chiang Kai-Shek’s regime based in Formosa, and has recognized the Communist government of Mao Tze-Tung.

Among those students most concerned about the action were the veterans —many of whom served under MacArthur during the war. Dick I.aing. Omega Hall (41st Army Division): “I think Tinman was right in firing MacArthur. Maybe he should have done it sooner, but before the past weeks, Truman didn't have much ground for ousting Mac.'' Laing said it is the same as hiring and firing any man that won't do what you want him to.. Boh Johnson, Sigma Hall (7th Naval Fleet): “I have more ad miration for Harry now than T had before. I think he is justified in what he did. MacArthur wasn’t wrong in having his own ideas on policy, but he should have gone through the proper channels." Jack Jones. Phi Delta Theta (42nd Army Engineers): "Truman has put an able man out. but Mac Arthur stepped over the bounds of the best interests of the nation. I mainly don’t like seeing MacArthur put out in such an ungainly man ner." Ken Beers, Lambda Chi Alpha (2nd Marine Air Wing): "I don’t think that politics and military [ matters should get so close to-1 gether. Truman should have used i a little more diplomacy though, in removing MacArthur. It was too! abrupt." Jack tJreene, Agate St. trailers (Army Air Corps): "I think it is the worst thing that Truman has done yet.” Dean Hague, (Royal Canadian Air Force): “I have no opinion yet —not until I know exactly why MacArthur was taken out of com mand. If it was because Mac Arthur disobeyed orders, I think Truman was in the wrong in re moving an able man. But if the rea son is that MacArthur’s command was having a deteriorating effect on political plans, then I think that Truman was justified. No one has the right to upset the delicate political strategy.” Itichnrd Allman, Amazon Hous ing Project (Army Signal Corps): "I guess I side with MacArthur mostly. He is thoroughly familiar with the situation in the Pacific. If MacArthur wasn't technically in a position to make any state ments on policy, he was, at least, capable of doing so.” Cramer Awarded Fulbright Study Aid John F.

He will be on sabbatical leave until January, 1952. Viron A. Moore, as sistant director, will become act ing dean. You'll rest in piece3 if you are inattentive while driving. Profs Okay Ouster (Continued from page one) He said that he doesn't see how the Prussian? can possibly make propaganda out of this; "but they probably will.” "One of the favorable results may be to confuse the Russians even more as to the purposes of American foreign policy,” he re marked. Schleicher feels that MacArthur will probably return to the United States. "He ought to say to himself, ‘I’m a soldier,’ and then keep quiet,” he said. “But he probably won’t; undoubtedly he will become a partisan figure in American poli tics.” The whole controversy will quiet down after a while, he believes. You’ll rest in pieces if you insist on having the right of way. You'll rest in pieces if you are | careless about signaling.
