whether the generals general's genral's gen- gen aral's rals backers should go any further furth furth- er in their latent plans to push him for the presidency One of ot the men behind the Texas trip is congressman Al AI Doc Miller of Nebraska the same GOP eader leader who promoted MacArthur for resident in 1948 It was partly on Congressman Millers Miller's urging that entered the Wisconsin nd and Nebraska primaries Both primaries proved a disappointment ointment and MacArthur 1 felt that thatus its ois Republican friends had let him iown orn Earlier in Tokyo the general lad Hid talked with

many specific points in your talk to which I am moved to say amen that the only thing I can say is that as a citizen I am truly grateful you made your talk As to the suspicion that you may be called naive I have so often had this adjective applied to myself and for such odd ode reasons that tha t I have come to look upon it as asa asa asa a very distinct compliment at the very least it would seem
