April 21 -WV A fffew York Times story today re ' porting details of the Truman- MacArthur conference on Wake Island stated that Gen. Mac-Ar-!hur told President Truman the 'Chinese could -bring no more than TB0.000 troops south of the Yalu, Aln contrast to this, a dispatch ffrom , Washington today listed 'Chinese Red casualties in Korea fat 291.895. The story also said administra- : ition records disclosed: I; 1. Gen. MacArthur said the s Economic Cooperation Adminis 'tration figured the rehabilitation land occupation of Korea would cost $900,000,000 while others es timated the cost at $1,500,000,000 But the general suggested spend- Ing only $500,000,000, spread over -a five year period, as the max! ,'pnum which the Korean economy could absorb..... : ' 2. The general urged the pre Sent to declare a "Truman doc trine" in the Pacific to be in- j yoked against any aggression such as the red invasion of South Ko rea. He was reported to believe ; auch a doctrine would be more 'effective than a military pact si milar to the North Atlantic pact! .Quick Completion 3. MacArthur proposed Inviting both Russia, and Red China to a conference on the Japanese peace treaty but if they declined, then s this country should go ahead ! without them. He . urged comple i tion of the treaty as quickly as possible. ' .". j 4. The general said twice, with iout reservations, that he hoped f to pull the 8th army back to Japan I by Christmas, leaving - the Tenth corps behind for occupation duties j until South Korean. -forces could jbe trained-and 'equipped for the Job. He believed, -all. foreign troops could be pulled ''out of j Korea after 'a4 'general election In ,1952 which , would be preceded jjby local elections. h 5. MacArthur suggested the j United States pay part of the oc icupation costs, in- Japan", saying it jwas wrong Ai ' take more out of I the country- tihtii we put into it, Jle noted the treaty " delay was jiot due to Japan but to lack of i -agreement among -the. victor na ;"u'ons. ji." ; ii. :fK wm to tun t 6. The general voiced concern f lover the lighting nnalities of the French army.'and be wondered if tjthere was a lack of will . to fight, j But General Bradley and W. .Averell Harriman, Mr. Truman's special assistant, were more .op ijtimistic. MacArthur was puzzled by the inability of the French in , Indo-China .to make headway i! against the communist VietrMinh forces (since? then, the French iifcave been d much better). He : thought the ii nch should have defeated the forces in about four months.' President Truman also indicated he was puzzled by me indo-cnma situation and would say something to the French premier. (The Dremier Siater was a guest of the presi .dent) -7. The general did not intend to station American and other al lied troops along the Yalu river after the conquest of Korea. It was indicated he planned a line south of Pyongyang junnlne cross the peninsula to Hamming on the east coast. "It was disclosed," the Times said,' "that Jawaharlal Nehru, prime minister of India, at one time considered plan to place Indian and Pakistan troops along the Korean-Maftchurian and Korean-Soviet frontiers after the United Nations -victory, but then discarded it. 'UacArthur was op posed to it, maintaining that only South Koreans ' should be placed on those sensitive Dorders.

Taylor (above), former chairman of the old War Labor Board, was chosen by President Truman to serve as temporary chairman of a new wage stabilisation board. Dr. Taylor is professor of industry at the University of Pennsylva nia. (AP Wirephoto to the Statesman.) Truman Forms Newl8-Man WaseBoard WASHINGTON, April 21-JFi- Fresident Truman today set up a new 18 -member wage stabilization board with powers to recommend settlement terms for most labor- management disputes. The board is expected to start functioning next . week after its members are named. George W, Taylor, University of Pennsylvania professor of industry, already has been designated chairman. The decision to go ahead with the new board was announced ear lier this week. Industry has opposed the broad dispute powers given the new ag ency. But it was expected industry will allow its representatives to sit on the new panel, which will have sis: members each from industry, labor and the public. This board replaces a nine-mem ber board, which established a wage stabilization policy to which labor objected. Labor members walked out and the board was crippled. The new board will give binding decisions in all labor disputes where, j labor and ; management agree' to such procedure. It will recommend settlement terms in any dispute which the president certifies; as a threat to national defence. , Experience with the same sort of procedure during the last war showed that board recommenda tions were invariably accepted. . Labor, now that it has received a wage board set-up more to its liking, is expected to end its boy cott on participating in the defense program. All its representatives in government posts walked out last February. Boy Killed In Accident .

Nancy Campbell, Santa Fe baby doctor, was convicted and sentenced oday to 10-15 years in prison as a kidnaoer. ;The 43-year-old .woman doctor stood woodenly silent as the jury's verdict was read and again as" Dist. Judge Edwin L. Swope de creed prison instead ofan asylum for her. j There never was any dispute about the kidnaping, the defense contended the brilliant physician was insane November 10 when she lured nine-year-old Lnda Stamm from home and left a note demanding $20,000 ransom. i Linda's step-father, wealthv contractor Allan Stamm notified the FBI. Dr. Campbell was trap ped the night of November 11 as she reached for the dummy ran som package at the gate of the Stamm; estate, near Santa Te. Linda Was found in the doctor's car drugged but unharmed. : Money to maintain her lavish $28,000 home was given as the motive, . , , ; As the trial reached its climax there was not a flicker of a change in the5 expressionless mask that characterized Dr. Campbell since her arrest. Not once did she give evidence of the brilliance that gave her Phi Beta honors as a 19-year-old graduate of Texas university and one of the first women to be graduated from Yale medical school. The jury of 12 Albuquerque business and trades men took only 55 minutes in reaching the verdict ending a six day trial held . here on a change of venue. Thus they flatly turned down the defense plea of insanity. Defense Attorney A. L. Zinn pleaded with the court to commit Dr. Campbell to an insane asylum instead of . sending her to prison after the "verdict was announced. But Judge Swope refused. I Zinn immediately arranged for an appeal." Dr. Campbell was re leased on $40,000 bond signed by three Santa Fe friends.

CO. 39NationsSign Asr cements to I i l TORQUAY, Eng., April 2l-(JPh New agreements lowering still further some of the tariff barriers to world trade were signed today by the United States and 38 other nations. The details are temporar ily secret. I In addition to 147 separate tariff-reducing agreements between pairs of nations, cuts previously agreed on at two earlier confer ences since World War II were continued until 1954. t The Torquay conference of members of the post-war general agreement on tariffs and trade GATT) ended after nearly sev en months. Conference head quarters said a substantial list of concessions has been achieved which will be applied over a very extensive area of world trade." ; But the biggest failure was a breakdown of negotiations between the United States and most of the British Commonwealth nations. : The United States reached tariff reducing agreements with 17 of the 24 nations with whom it nego tiated, including Canada, a mem ber of the British Commonwealth, and Belgium, Brazil, The Nether lands, Luxembourg, Denmark, The Dominican Republic, France, Indo nesia, Italy, Norway, Sweden. Aus tria, Western Germany, Korea, Peru and Turkey. But it failed to reach an agree ment with Britain, Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa all Commonwealth members and Cuba and Guatemala. "They wouldn't give us what we wanted and we couldn't give them what they wanted," said Carl Corse, state department trade ex pert who headed the 99-man Am erican delegation.

Howard Mc Grath declared tonight that "in the great controversy which is raging over General Douglas MacArthur our great president will come put on top." ? McGrath addressed about 1,000 persons at an Iowa democratic Jackson Day fund-raising dinner. The attorney general's address was brief but he delivered it with vigor throughout He is the first cabinet officer to express himself on the debate over foreign policy since 'MacArthur addressed con gress Thursday. "Our forefathers who gave! us our constitution foresaw that ny ship can have only one captain and any country only, one presi dent, McGrath declared. He! added: f "Our forefathers set the policy that civilian rule is the one! by which the people would be gov erned. To this end the president had to pursue a course that was disagreeable, to say the least." The attorney 'general said the president took all the risks it was possible to take in going to Wake island and pinning the medal of honor on MacArthur. Loyal to General "No one needs further proof of our president's loyalty to the gen eral." McGrath said. The attorney general commented that no one appreciates the gen eral's accomplishments more than does the president. McGrath declared that the "his toric debate" has become a political issue for some people.. He added: "I am sure that neither General MacArthur nor President Truman would becloud the issue. But some people, for partisan advantage, are trying to becloud the issue; at stake." He said the United States had taken its stand in Korea because "we know that the loss of one free nation would be a threat to all na tions. We went into Korea to stop aggression and prevent our boys from fighting a big world war three." He said bombing Manchuria and invading China probably would bring a Russian attack.
