Korea Tactics
As 'Indecisive'
By Kelmaa Maria
BOSTON, July 25 -iPh Gen
Douglas MacArthor struck out to
night with, a sweeping condem
nation of American ' policy, at
home and abroad, and; declared
that the result of the war in Ko
rea has; been "indecisive,.
In " one of his most: powerful
speeches -since," he "was recalled
from the Far. East, r MacArthur
laid down four major points:
; 1. The result of the war in Ko
rea has been indecisive and add
ed that "appeasement thereafter
became-the policy of war on the
battlefield. . '. K -
2. American foreign policy has
become, a "mass of confused mis
understandings and vacillations.
The sorry thuth is that we have
no policy. :-;-v-: -u t :;.
; 5. The costs of government have
risen at "an accelerated, alarming
and reckless rate," and that, noth
ing ,is: heard' from Washington
about the possibility of a reduc
tion or limitation of these. costs.-.
- 4. ..The survival of : the 'free
world Is infinitely more depend
ent upon the . maintenance: of a
strong, vigorous, healthy and -Independent
America than upon any
financial aid which'we might pro
vide under our own existing
stringencies. - " t ,'
Frequent Applause -J
:-! MacArthur addressed a Joint
session of the Massachusetts house
and senate. He was interrupted
frequently by applause. : K, .".
His expression was even .more
grim and "determined than when
he jspoke before the joints session
of congress in Washington shortly
after his return from Korea. -
MacArthur asserted that fa mil
lion soldiers on both sides" have
been killed or wounded, and that
at least a like number of civilians
have become casualties.
Edge of Sarcasm -
His voice took on a sharp edge
of sarcasm when he discussed the
circumstances surrounding Presi
dent Truman's action in stripping
him .of his commands in the Far
East ,;-;::., -: -: , -7,iu
-The three reasons publicly stat
ed,' he said,' "clearly demonstrate
that arbitrary nature of the de
cision.'"
. He recalled that these three
were: . , ,. i : - -
1. His warning about the stra
tegic importance of the island of
Formosa, to which the Chinese
nationalist government has been
exiled. "Yet this view point has
since been declared by the secre
tary of. state . , . to have been
and to be the invincible and long
standing policy of the United
States., iv..
Now Favor Proposal
2. His proposal to meet the com
munist commanders in the field in
Korea to discuss a cCase-f ire. "For
this proposal, I was relieved of
my command by the same authori
ties who since have received so
enthusiastically the Identical pro
posal when made by the Soviet
government, . . . o ;
3. His reply to what he said waa
"a congressman's request for in
formation on a public subject. ;
He referred to his letter to Sep.
Joseph Martin (R-Mass) in which
he discussed the use of the Chi
nese nationalist troops an Formosa,.
"Yet both, houses of , congress
promptly passed a law confirming
my action which indeed has been
entirely In accordance with, a long
existing and well - recognized
though unwritten policy. "

Famous Family
WASHINGTON, July 25
House republicans split wide apart
today in voting 71: to 33 to back
legislation designed to oust Sec
retary of State Acheson from the
federal payrolls
The vote : was taken .behind
closed; doors at a grand strategy
session heralded in advance as a
meeting of the entire GOP house
roster. ' - - :
However, more than' 90 repub
licans either failed to attend or
refrained from, voting. The out
come made It doubtful that the
"get-Acheson - drive would suc
ceed unless it gained strong and
unexpected democratic support.
Some southern democrats have
rallied behind the GOP-led at
tack, but administration leaders
said they were confident they
could beat it off when the republicans-make
their move, probably
tomorrow. ,
Under GOP strategy as ap
proved by. a majority of those who
voted at the meeting this fore
noon the showdown will come
on an amendment offered by Rep.
Phillips- (R-Calif) to a $1,051,
7154 19 money bill The amend
ment - would strike directly at
Acheson and would spare several
dozen other top-flight officals
who might have been hit by an
earlier version. .-
The amendment says that no
money provided under the omni
bus bill could go to--the head of
any executive department who
wi thing five years before bis ap
pointment, was connected with a'
professional firm that represent
ed a foreign government.
Acheson's Taw firm once rep
resented .the Polish government in
obtaining an American loan. '
The amendment would cut any
such person off the federal pay
roll: unless his appointment was
"submitted or re-submitted by the
president to the senate for con
firmation." : '
; Despite republican attacks on
the Truman administration's for
eign policy. Rep. Fulton (R-Pa)
told newsmen that no republican
member of the house foreing af

Phillip : "get Acheson" amend
ment at today's party meeting.

portedly spoke against it. .

There were no immediate indications whether the Of. dele- :
gatien had accepted a communist compromise proposal on with-- : L
drawal of forelga troops fraa Korea.
Thia waa the last barrier to fvU-dreaa peace talks.
WASHINGTON, July 25-(V-The last big barrier to agreements
an agenda for. the Korean truce talks appeared to be giving way to
day. . :o .-,";'-'.:-.': :-V.- K :-v: .
. - The negotiators wrr oortf nir an imMwit n tiV. l.u.
after peace is established, the problem of eventual withdrawal of ad
foreign troops from Korea.
As it was understood here, this
meant abandonment by the reds
of their previous insistence, that a
commitment on troop removal
should be reached as part of the
armistice negotiations. The United
Nations negotiators had flatly 're
jected this demand. 1
On the other hand, it was re
ported that . the U." N, command
was ready to accept acommitment
to discuss the troop issue at a later
date. - :"
i Such action was in line with the
statement made by Secretary of
Defense Marshall yesterday; that
the Question of evacuating foreign
troops from Korea at the "proper
time created ho problem provid
ed the reds were sincere in work
ing out a real settlement of the
conflict.- - - . . -
Authoritative sources said that
the reds, at a Kaesong session yes
terday, offered to put off the ques
tion of withdrawal of troops until
after an armistice. .
i In . Korea, the Washington re
ports reached the advance head
quarters ; camp before dawn bat
produced only mild surprise. -
An allied spokesman, Brig. Gen.
William Nuckols, who attended
the ninth session, characterized
the red .compromise as , "reason
able in content and phraseology.
"Getting Someplace"
He said it ."knocked - Into a
cocked hat., recent pessimistic
predictions on the outcome of the
cease-fire talks, and added, "Now
we're getting someplace. -
No one in official circles would
say -Wednesday precisely what ci-.
garet-smoking Gen. Nam 'II, sen
ior red delegate, . proposed. It
seemed likely that it represented
some sort of retreat from the pre
vious communist stand that the
withdrawal issue must be discuss
ed at the Kaesong armistice talks.
Some observers presumed that
Instead of demanding immediate
withdrawal of til foreign troops,
the communists, may have pro
posed that opposing -forces - be
withdrawan within a specific time
period, say six .months.) ;
Ridgway Consults
Gen Mathew B. Ridgway, U N.
commander, - was understood to
have been in consultation with
Washington authorities today. The
instructions wuuch he received
through the joint chiefs of staff
paved the way for the line he was
to. take in the next session - (to
night, Washington time).
Officials were close lipped
about the nature of the instruc
tions but all Indications were that
they left Ridgway free to go ahead
and accept the communist offer to
delay the discussion of the with-,
drawal of troops.-
Not Price of Armistice i
The latest developments, as seen
here, prevent an agreement on
troop removal from becoming the
price of a Korean armistice. Sec
retary of State Acheson made
clear in his statement last Satur
day that Washington had no in
tention of buying peace in Korea
with a promise to remove United
Nations forces forthwith and
thereby open uo South Korea to
possible new red aggression.- r
He asserted that TJJ. forces
would hive to remain in the coun
try until peace was firmly estab
lished and the. people of Korea
were assured there 'would be no
new communist assault.
While the-reds obviously gave
in on the main point of what they
were seeking, some officials here
said privately that their action may
not represent a real concession,
because the extent of their Interest
in working out an effective armis
tice arrangement still has to be
determined. -. , . . . . ... . ,
This view was based on the con
tention that : the 'troop question
was basically a political one of
vital importance to the long range
rurure oi Korea and therefore suit
able only for negotiation among
the governments Involved - not
among military commanders in the
zieid. .. - -. ... - . ' - . .
The agenda Itself, as develooed
by agreement on both sides before
the troop issue deadlock arose,
covers at least two points , which
may prove to be extremely diffi
cult ana tune consuming In future
negotiations.
- These are:..
1. The question of where a de
marcation line or buffer zone be
tween the opposing armies should
be laid out.
2. The problem of arranging for
inspection of the military disposi
tions of both sides to. make sure
that neither side is preparing a
surprise attack. -
Authorities here indicated today
that they believe the reds are
trying seriously to get an end to
the Korean Cihtina but want to
obtain every ; possible .advantage
they think they may get by. tough
bargaining. Hence, while there is
some cautious .optimism over the
eventual outcome of the Kaesoni
talks, there is also a widespread
belief that it may be many days
or even several weeks ueiore tne
negotiations are concluded.
