He said the way President Truman summarily.fired him from bis commands "jeopardized" the nation's interest. MacArlhur hit back hard in defense of his conduct of the Korean war and at the President’s dismissal of him. The 71-yeur-old General said he did not question "in the slightest" Mr. Truman's right to recall him. $Sut he said the manner of his dismissal was another thing he was relieved of command on receipt of the order. "Being summarily relieved that way,” he said, "made it impossible to carry out directives that I was working on at the moment.” He said he had to turn these over to his successor, General Ridgway, "who was 330 miles away on the Korean front."

Douglas Mac Arthur’s ouster involved "no i'ilfange in basic United States policies toward Japan and Com munism In Asia,” John Foster Dulles told President Truman Thursday.

"Black markets and rationing are coming for sure—rationing in six months —if the price-cut orders remain in effect,” Ellender declared. He heads the senate agriculture committee, which Wednsday un animously approved a resolution calling on the Office of Price Stabiliza tion to rescind the new beef regulations "without delay.” Sharp Skirmishes Broke the Quiet... .. .of the Korean front Thursday as United Nations patrols probed Red^^vpes building up for new offensives. TrfiWights were fierce, but small scale. Four ground clashes involved allied tanka rumbling north from Seoul. An armored column drove back a Chinese regiment after a two-hour skirmish northeast of Seoul, shooting it out with Red infantrymen ovor the last two miles.

TftaL the British-owned oil concession in Iran has been terminated by Iran's nationalization of her oil, a British foreign office spokes man said Thursday.

A Handful of Striking... .. .AFL construction workers reported for work Thursday on a vital atomic plant project, but hundreds of others continued their walkout. Approximately 40 striking iron workers returned to work, but the vast majority of the 1,500 strikers apparently chose to ignore the con tractor’s compromise offer to get them back on the job. The contractor offered to pay as much of a negotiated wage raise as the wage stabilization board formula would permit. This offer was made in a joint company-union statement in which the AFL union leaders “urgnetly” requested the strikers to go back to work.
