Douglas MacArthur to the United States, gave way to considerable sober reasoning as the general testified before congress concerning the cause and results of his removal as commander in the Pacific. Stripped of the superficial, the generals testimony revealed him a man with a burning mission to bring the Korean conflict to a swift and successful conclusion. His objective was no different from that of the administration, except by the method it could be reached. Unfortunately, at one point the general allowed himself to be maneuvered by the politicians into an all-oattack on the administration. He did not question, however, President Trumans authority to remove him, and he admitted he had expressed the opinion that the Chinese would not intervene in the conflict. But he called again for air attacks on China proper, a naval blockade and use of Chinese Nationalist troops. At this point he said he did not believe this would draw Russia into the fight. He added that Russia was in no shape war in Asia. for an all-oMacArthurs expressed opinion that there is no end in sight for Before the Senate the Korean conflict and that some policy should be worked out to end Testifying before the house ana the senate armed services and foreign war, appealed to the man on Main Street.

It was MacArthurs outspoken call for this action and the use of Chinese Nationalist troops that led to his dismissal. That is the other side of the picture. But the question remains which plan for achieving peace will the nation follow. It is a question that must be settled in the mind of each individual American, not just in congress. ut ld DATE BOOK 27-Ju- ne er the family dog, and taking off for a tour of his own country to see its mending roomy oxford-typ- e wonders. shoes equipped with leather peo30,000,000 over For soles for example, outdoor READY TO YODEL . . .

Communists Regroup to Attack Beaten back in a slaughter that claimed as many as 75,000 casualties, Communists in Korea regrouped for another thrust to the south. UN commanders believed the fighting would stay in the area indicated in the above map. THE BATTLE ISNT OVER The Communist spring offensive ended in the slaughter of approximately 75,000 Chinese and North Korean troops without any notable gains. But the battle isnt over. The Reds retreated into North Korea to regroup for the next phase which could mean another all-oattack at any point along the line. It may well be that the second phase will begin at any moment. But UN commanders believe it, too, will end in slaughter unparalled in history. It was clear that UN troops remain in Korea because of superior air power, artillery and mobility. How long this superioity will remain on the UN side if the Chinese use their air forces in support of their troops, is questionable. ut MIDWEST FEEDERS HURT As expected, the OPS regulations roiling back beef prices raised a howl of protest from cattlemen across the nation. But of all the industry, the midwest feeder was hardest hit by the new regulations. According to authorities in the meat industry, 85 per cent, or seven million steers slaughtered under federal inspection last year, came to market over the feed lot route. But the feeder is now expected to cut down on operations for a time because he cannot buy cattle at a price that will pay him to fatten them. Fred Tomlin of Pleasant Plains, 111., said In his case: There is no reason for me to go out and pay 34 or 35 cents a pound for cattle with the prospect of selling them at 31 or 32 when fattened. 17,-00- - QUEEN AND FRINCESS . . .
