Johnson: "Is that available?'
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!

Bradley testified behind cios-i

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

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.

In the high tribunal's decision
today, Douglas said the words
used by congress in permitting
state fair trade laws "connote a
voluntary scheme." He added:
"Contracts &r agreements con
vey the idea of a cooperative ar

by recalcitrants are dragging in
by the heels and compelled io
submit to price fixing."

Douglas is known as the Miiler
