a Belgian Doctors Plan to Fight on Against Controls Premier Says Move Will Fail Some Strikers Resume Calls BRUSSELS (AP)- Belgium's 112,000 striking doctors and dentists found themselves increas-1 ingly isolated today with the government claiming the walkout will fail regardless of how long it lasts. Some strikers, particularly general practitioners in rural Flemish areas, resumed house calls and seeing patients in their offices. Strike leaders in Brussels declared, however, that the doctors would fight on to prevent of changes in the medical law which would set a scale of fees for treatment of persons covered by the state health insurlance system and open doctors' treatment records on such patients to government inspection. Each side waited for the other to make the first move to reopen negotiations. Premier Theo Lefevre's Cath-1 olic-Socialist coalition government was so confident of eventual victory that it began ing for some way to save the faces of the doctors and not leave them permanently embittered.

Government sources said the Cabinet was bound to stand fast because it would risk a general strike if it surrendered to the doctors. One government spokesman said: "The government waits now for the doctors to come around to a more realistic view of the situation. The era of social paternalism is over. "Doctors by and large are fine citizens, but they want to decide themselves who has 2. right to free or inexpensive medical care.

"We do not agree. Everyone in this day and age is entitled to medical care as a right and not as a charity." Some striking have taken up temporary residence in France, West Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. A few have threatened to stay away if the controversial act is not watered down or scrapped. The strike is in its ninth day.

Interviews Revive Bitter Arguments WASHINGTON (AP) Two 10-year-old interviews with Douglas MacArthur. published as the general lay in state have revived memories of the bitter Korean War dispute which ended his military The two interviews were given in January 1954 to Bob. Considine of Hearst Headline Service and to James G. Lucas of Scripps Howard newspapers, and were withheld until MacArthur's death. They were published in copyrighted stories Wednesday.

BRITISH 'PERFIDY' In a memo on the interview, Lucas quoted the famed old warrior as blaming British "perfidity" and Washington "harassment and. interference" for failure to crush the in Korea. According to the Lucas story, MacArthur became convinced he was the victim of a conspiracy in which the State Department was showing his communications with Washington to the British, who in turn relayed these to the Chinese Reds. A British Embassy spokesman denied the charge, saying: "British Commonwealth troops were serving in Korea at the time and it is unthinkable that the British government would endanger the lives of their own troops by passing information to the Communist Chinese as alleged." A State Department spokesman declined comment "on this purported statement" by MacArthur "at any time and particularly at this time." COBALT BELT Considine said MacArthur him "he proposed to win a decisive victory in Korea by the employment of 500,000 Nationalist Chinese, an atomic attack on the enemy's air and supply bases in Manchuria, and the spreading of a huge belt of radioactive cobalt across the northern frontier of that battle scarred land." Considine quoted MacArthur as saying: "Of all the campaigns of my the one I felt most sure of was the one I was deprived of waging. I could have won the war in Korea, in a maximum of 10 days, with considerably fewer casualties than were suffered in the so-called truce period.

"The enemy's air power would first been taken I 30 would to 50 have atomic dropped bombs on his air bases and other depots strung across the neck of UNDISCLOSED PLAN The Hearst writer also quotMacArthur as saying he almost convinced President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower on Dec. 417, 1952, to adopt an undisclosed plan by MacArthur to end the cold war but was frustrated by the late John Foster Dulles who was to become Eisenhower's. secretary of state. Although it was former President Harry S.

Truman who ed his military career in a dispute over the Korean War, the Scripps-Howard story said MacArthur paid grudging respect to Truman as "a man of raw courage and guts. The little bastard honestly believes he is a patriot." A spokesman for Truman said Wednesday the former dent would make no rebuttal and was sticking to his praise of MacArthur, upon his death, as "one of the great military men in our history." FIRED HIM Truman relieved MacArthur of his Korea command on April 9, 1951, in an order which climaxed a series of rows between the general and Washington headquarters. After Peking sent in troops, MacArthur proposed expanding the effort to Red China's "coastal areas and interior bases." Truman and U.N. allies favored limiting the campaign in Korea. MacArthur gave his version at lengthy, censored Senate hearings upon his return.

Among other things, he testified then that the British were "cutting their own throats" by giving "such complete support to Red China." The Lucas story quoted MacArthur as saying "those fools in Washington" prevented his winning the Korean War with his for bringing in Nationalist Chinese troops and sowing a 5- wide belt of ridioactive cobalt along the Yalu River after defeating the Red Chinese to permanently seal China off from Korea. CALLED SUICIDAL MacArthur reportedly said, the United States had cobalt "in abundance" as a by-product presumably from atomic weap-1 ons manufacture and the ra-1 dioactive belt would make it suicidal for an army to try to cross it. The story said MacArthur wash told of British "betrayal" by field commander, Lt. Gen. Walton Walker, but "said he came convinced he was the tim of a conspiracy" only after he had ordered Lt.

Gen. George E. Stratemeyer to bomb the Yalu River bridges after the Chinese intervened. Just as the bombers were about to take off four hours later, MacArthur was quoted las saying, his order was "peremptorily" countermanded by Gen. George C.

Truman has written in his memoirs that quickly upon receiving a message from Stratemeyer that MacArthur had ordered bombing of a Yalu bridge connecting Korea with Manchuria, the President conferred with Secretary of State Dean in. turn checked with various and Defense Department officials, including Dean Rusk, then sistant secretary of state for Far Eastern affairs. declined comment on the Lucas story.) Truman said Rusk, now retary of state, had "pointed out that we had a commitment with the British, not to take action which involve attacks the Manchurian side of the river without consultation with them." MESSAGE SENT So only an hourand 20 minutes before the planes were to take off, Truman said, a message was sent MacArthur banning all bombing of targets within live miles of the Manchurian border until further orders. MacArthur obeyed but replied the limitations would have "diastrous effect."

BRITISH TREACHERY? Nonsense, Attlee Says of Charge LONDON (AP)-Earl Britain's prime minister at theled time of the Korean War, said today that accusations of British treachery attributed to General of the Army Douglas MacArthur were "complete nonsense and perfectly ridiculous." James G. Lucas of ScrippsHoward Newspapers reported in a copyrighted story Wednesday that MacArthur told him in an interview in 1954 that the British relayed his communications with Washington during the Korean War to the Chinese Communists. The British foreign office declined to comment officially on the report. A senior official said the charges of British perfidy were "so palpably absurd AS not to warrant an official comment." Attlee, pointing out that "our troops also were fighting in the Korean War," recalled that he went to Washington in 1950 "because there seemed to be a danger of extending a war from Korea to an all-out war between America and China." At that time MacArthur wantto bomb Chinese supply lines in China.

Attlee said he and Field Marshall Sir William Slim, the chief, of the Imperial General Staff, had "very satisfactory" talks during the 1950 trip with President Harry S. Truman and Gen. Omar Bradley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Attlee said he wanted to avoid a war against the Chinese in China. "It would have been fighting with the wrong enemy at the wrong time," he said.

"It would have left Russia's hand quite free if America were bogged down in China." Emanuel Shinwell, who was defense minister in Attlee's Labor government, commented: "I can hardly believe that Gen. MacArthur said anything so foolish. I can remember that when Gen. MacArthur wanted to bomb the Chinese at the Yalu River, we protested strongly because we felt it would bring the Chinese into the war." $140,000 Raised For Thresher Kids WASHINGTON (AP) When the 129 men of the submarine Thresher went down with her to an ocean grave a year ago they left children behind almost 200 of grieving and a lot people who remembered.

(AP) -Federal indictments have charged two prominent judges, who together have served 56 years on the Oklahoma Stpreme Court, with evading payment of $25,000 in income taxes. The indictments retured!

Corn. U.S. Dist. Atty. B.

Andrew Potter said both said they would appear before a U.S. Commissioner today and post $5,000 bond. The judges were not taken into custody after the indictments were returned. Welch, 72, is senior member of the state's highest court with 32 years continuous service. Corn, 80, went into semiretirement in 1958 after 24 years as a Supreme Court justice.

As a supernumerary judge, he is assigned by the Supreme Court to hear a few cases a year. Both judges are Democrats. Welch was indicted on five counts and faces a maximum prison sentence of 25 years and a $50,000 fine. Corn was named on three counts of tax evasion: and two counts of wilfully filing an incorrect, tax return. He faces 21 years in prison and a $30,000 fine.

Neither judge would comment on the indictments. Corn said: "I had a heart attack some time ago. I don't want to be; bothered." A spokesman at home said the judge would have nothing to say.

Director Charles of the Manned Center said the the Gemini team to proceed toward unmanned flight and manned orbital trip this year. The second flight, set for late August or early September, is to hurl a spacecraft on a ballistic flight to test all systems, atmospheric re-entry and recovery. The first manned mission calls for two astronauts to ride a Gemini capsule on a three-orbit flight, hopefully in November! or December. The opening Gemini shot tested structural integrity, of the spacecraft, Titan to place the capsule in a precise orbit, and aerodynamic compatibility of the rocket-capsule combination.

Maj. Gen. Ben I. Funk, commander of the Air Force space systems division, termed the launching a "storybook sort of flight" in which everything seemed to go right. Engineers estimated it would several days to analyze the data, but preliminary study indicated all objectives were achieved.

The only imperfection was a 14-mile-an-hour excess speed by the Titan 2. It reached 17,534 miles an hour instead of the intended 17,520. This sent the spacecraft into a 204-mile-high peak orbital path, 21 miles higher than planned. Operations Director Walter C.
