Bradley: "Well, t you strip ped everything else you might get it, but we would haie U see our other defense requirements; stripped to the extent that you would have to do it to carry it! out at tins lime. " Bradley testified behind cios-i ed doors. As has been the prac-1 lice all through the hearings, e stenographic report of his tes timony was sent it reporters af ter first going through censors for removal ol anything they de cided might harm the national interest if made public. The hearings were recessed at! 12:10 p.m. (EST) today until B a.m. Tuesday. Gen Bradley was asked to return to the witness chair then. Approves Dismissal Bradley listed these reasons why he said the military high command approved MacArthur's dismissal: 1. MacArthur's public state mecits and communications "ln- idicaled that he was not In sym pathy with the decision to try to limit the conflict to Korea." He: said this would make it diffi cult for MacArthur to carry outi directives, adding: "It was nec essary to have a commander! more- responsive io control from Washington." 2. MacArthur "bad failed to comply with the presidential directive io clear statements on policy before making uch statements public." Bradley said the Pacific com-; mander also had taken Inde pendent action In proposing: to negotiate directly with the en emy field commander for an armistice "and had made that statement public despite the fact: that he knew the president had such a proposal under consid eration from a governmental level." 3. The joint chiefs of staff; have felt and feel now that the military must be controlled by! civilian authority in this coun try. !
