And many people are asking "What does it concern us in American Fork? We or you in your paper cannot change the situation, so why bother? ; Well, it does concern us here in American Fork and in every other community in the United States and in fact, the world. " - --Why --Why does it concern us here? In the first place we have hundreds of young men who will be called to the flag to fight for their country if the recall of MacArthur fails to contain con-tain the war in Korea to that section of Asia. ..We should follow this controversy as if it happened at local level, for anything that is done by the administration where our sons are concerned should be made known in concerted action with other communities and cities. y - It is nq secret that the state department has been miffed and angered at MacArthur. ' It is said that the diplomats asked both the Pentagon and the White House to curb the general's activities in the field before his dismissal feeling that he had invaded personal and sacred ground in their domain. :- . ' .. . , MacArthur announced only recently that he was willing to confer in the field with a North Korean Army leader to arrange for a cease fire in the hostilities. A cease fire in Korea, it may be recalled, has been a long-time objective of the United Nations. ; --;-T: :-:.rr.v . .... The issue, as it appears on the eve of MacArthur's scheduled sched-uled talk before congress, is not whether the man in uniform usurped the prerogatives of the striped pants set, whose headquarters head-quarters are located, perhaps aptly, in that section of Washington Wash-ington known as "Foggy Bottom." " "T J The issue is whether the Department of State, whose official bumbling and general ineptitude from General Marshall Mar-shall through Dean Acheson and his advisers, fumbled us into. the unnecessary Korean War, can be trusted to get us outCrnL tii a W;ii UU "PI.
