Mac Must Draw Line Between
Politics, Psychological War
By Russell Brines ?
TOKYO, March 30 -()- General MacArthur apparently is going
to have to draw a line line hereafter between psychological warfare
and statements which might be construed as political.
The word reached 'MacArthur's headquarters today that Pres
ident Truman has instructed the general to "clear" with Washing
ton all statements bearing on political matters.
This evidently was the reper
cussion from MacArthur's state
ment to the Chinese communists
last Saturday that They should
give serious thought to peace talk.
Military men here call this
statement "a cold estimate of a
military situation" not political.
" Among other things, the gen
eral observed that Red China
would face military collapse if
the United Nations should decide
tc attack its coastal areas and
military bases.
Touchy Section
That seems to have been the
most controversial part of the
statement. '
Informed sources said this was
part of the psychological warfare
that has been going on all along
in the Korean 'war.- The statement
was broadcast to Chinese armies
in the field and dropped in leaf
lets over enemy territory. These
sources said its aim was to out
line communist military weak
nesses to the enemy soldier. Mac
Arthur decided some time ago to
Issue the statement at what he
considered the psychological mo
ment.
Washington's reaction caused
surprise and considerable concern
among officers here. They said
. this reaction might allay any fears
which the statement might have
raised in Peiping.
"Now," said one officer, who
declined use of his name, "we've
made it clear there is not the
slightest idea of carrying the war
to where it could hurt them."
Foreign Opinion
On the other hand, Washington
wj concerned about the effect
the statement might have on the
other allies now fighting along
side the United States in Korea.
Some of these allies want to avoid
anything that might cause the
war to spread in the Orient.
There has been no official an
nouncement as yet from Washing
ton and sources here say direct
orders have not been received di
recting MacArthur to clear po
litical matter hereafter.
MacArthur himself remained
silent.
Shock and surprise were mani
fest in the local reaction to the
thought of placing MacArthur un
der political censorship.
Thus far there has been no
communist reaction to MacArth
ur's effort to convince them a
negotiated peace is their best
out" in Korea.

circus - costume ball at a ranch
on the edge of this resort town.
She headed for the desert, sailing
over parked cars in moonlight.
But then hunger won out, and
she doubled back for -the kitchen.
There three guests, Allan
Jones; the singer, Renaldo Fer
arri, San Francisco nightclub ope
rator, and Earl Theisen, maga
zine photographer, cornered her
until police and her trainer could
take over.
"It was a three-ring circus,"
Hopps said afterwards. "It had
everything you'd expect to find
In a movie script."
Three-Kinr Circus
Hopps, chairman of the U. S.
Marine tc Foreign Securities Corp.
in New York, pitched a big circus
tent for the party. One ring was
used for dancing, another for the
buffet, the third for the animal
acts. The latter included five
lions, an elephant and a chim
panzee.
"Just as the .trainer was leaving
the cage after his act. the lioness
slipped out behind him and head
ed for the desert, Hopps related
"I'm not sure she was mad
about anything. I think the darn
ed thing was just having fun.
Leaps Casually
"If you've never seen a lion
hopping over a car you've missed
something. She was very casual
about it. She just walked up to a
car and over she went."
To preserve order in the tent,
Hopps said, it was announced that
the whole thing was just a gag.
"But then the lioness stuck her
nose inside, and everybody went
wild."
Her cavorting apparently gave
her an appetite, and she found
the kitchen, where she was cor
nered by Jones, Ferarri and Thei
sen, armed with chairs and prods.
Trainer Takes Over
Police had been summoned
meanwhile. They covered with
riot guns until the trainer took
over.
In the tent the hero was Rudolf
Hernandez, an elephant boy. He
moved his elephant to the en
trance as a guard.
"Hernandez thought very fast,
said Hopps. "He said one of his
beasts could whip any two lions
in the world. He kept the people
Inside the tent and the lion out
side." John Ringling North, jr., of the
circus family, one of 200 costum
ed guests, offered Hernandez a
job on the spot.
Among other celebrities attend
ing were Sonja Henie, William
Powell, and Directors Mervyn
LeRoy and Harry Joe Brown.
Before the party, Hopps said,
aides reccommended that he buy
insurance, because of the animals.
He did, telephoning an agency in
San Francisco.
"The bill was $100 for the one
night," he said. "I sent 'em a nasty
telegram, complaining about the
premium.
"Today I wrote the company a
letter of apology."
