Asked whether thought the Joint Chiefs of Staff should ask MacArthur to come to Washington and spell out his views on the Korean conflict, Truman said he thinks the joint chiefs know all about what 15 in MacArthur's mind He said dryly if the joint chiefs want to hear it again, that is all right with him. Capping a series of terse, angry blasts at MacArthur, Truman clared at one point that he hasn't; seen the general since their Wake Island meeting and doesn't want to see him.

Good Plan Would Be Used He reiterated, however, that if MacArthur has a feasible plan for ending the Korean War and submits it to the Pentagon, it would be used immediately. MacArthur hasn't said in SO many words that he has a definite plan to end the war. Here is what he did say. in a speech before the National Association of Manufacturers in New York last Friday night: "While it is well known that my own views have not been sought in any way. yet I am confident there is a clear and definite solution to the Korean conflict.

"There a material change in conditions from those of 20 months ago when I left the then available and capable of sucscene of action. a and the solution cess is not entirely applicable.

MacArthur laid his views before the Senate Armed Services Committee at some length more than a year ago. Among other things, he advocated 1 bombing Communist bases in Manchuria. a blockade of the Red China coast, and 3 use of Generalissimo Chinese Kai Nationalist troops against Formosa -based the Chinese mainland. Calls Truman "Frustrated" Continued from Page One Truman said today MacArthur's 1951 proposals would have involved the United States in an all-out war in the Far East and that is something we have been strenuously trying to avoid. The President's blistering attack on MacArthur and his demagoguery crack at Eisenhower drew pressions of astonishment from members of Congress.

He said if MacArthur asks to see him.

Referring MacArthur's return to this country from Japan-after being fired as Far East commander-Truman said any decent man would have come to see him. He said military etiquette required such a gesture.

and he noted that Eisenhower came to the White House immediately after his. return from Europe last June. The President also declared that MacArthur is still on active duty, as he put it, and will remain in that status for the rest of his life. He said that if MacArthur has anything of use to the Defense De. partment, he ought to tell them, so they can make use of it.
