NEW i YORK. April 21-(-An aide to General MacArthur
charged today the state department and the nation's highest intelli-

Chinese reds were preparing to enter the Korean war.
Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney issued the statement in reply to
questions raised by a New York Times story from Washington. This
story said; administration records disclosed' MacArthur had assured
President iTruman at Wake Island ' he did not believe the Chinese
would intervene or that they; were a threat.
The story also implied that General MacArthur had badly under

NEW YORK, April 21 -()- Gen. Douglas MacArthur will
spend Thursday and Thursday night in Chicago before going to J
his home town of Milwaukee Friday, an aide announced today.
Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney, aide to the general, said the '
general and his party would leave New York for Chicago early
Thursday morning.
They will continue to Milwaukee Friday morning, Whitney
said, to attend a welcome celebration there later in the day.
Whitney said the MacArthur party would return to New York -Friday
night aboard the general's plane, the Bataan.
Earlier the chairman of Milwaukee's homecoming celebra-
tion committee, Ben Barkin, said here that the general, Mrs.
MacArthur and their son, Arthur, were expected in Milwaukee
at 10 a.m. Friday.

But Whitney declared there were no stenographic notes taken
at the conference and part of it was a secret meeting betwen only
MacArthur and the president.
The implication seemed to be that any detailed report or the
Wake Island meeting could come only from President Truman him
self.
