That apparently ended Communist dent Truman today sent Gen. Douglas MacArthur a statement of American policy on Formosa, and also a commendation of the general's direction of the Korean campaign.

Truman's move, following up his weekend order for MacArthur to withdraw a statement on Formosa, appeared to have a two-fold purpose although there waa no official comment. 1. To clarify MacArthur'a own I understanding of the whole situation and give him an implied reminder not to get out of step again. 2. To ease the sting of the incident to the general and also help maintain MacArthur'a prestige in the Far East.

No Comment Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross gave out Truman's message without comment and refused to answer questions as to why Truman sent it. The text of Truman'a letter: "I am sending you for your information the text of a letter which I sent to Ambassador Austin dated chances of a quick end-run on Pu- sa the Reds' Auitust 31 eoal. Washington A White House official said today President Truman is preparing a report to the nation. The report, this official said, would cover international affairs, the.

fighting in Korea and the controls the president feels are needed at home. This official, who asked not to be quoted by name, said no time has been set for the speech. But he said it would be in the nature of a "fireside chat" such as President Roosevelt used to make and would be televised and broadcast. White House sources, who could Hut the North Koreans were building up at the center of the line not be named, previously had said the talk might be ready by this weekend. It would be Truman's first report to the nation since his July 19 radio address spelling out a partial mobilization program to deal with the Korean fighting.

These officials said no definite time had been set. One reason was reported to be that congress hag not yet acted upon the president's request for legislation which would enable him to impose limited controls on domestic economy. A senate-house committee today buckled down to the task of compromising a dispute over how much leeway to give the president over wage and price controls.

Artillery Support American troops approached the main area of battle around Pohang. But they had not gone into tha battle. U. S. artillery ringed the airfield six miles southeast of Pohan; and supported hard pressed South Koreans.

The Pohang sector battle wa developing into a Bee-saw action. Whila one force of Reds was pushing southward another was forced back by the South Korean capitol division. It moved north more than a mile and retook Kigye. Kigye itself is not important, but the complex of roads around it lead west to Taegu, which draw much of its supplies through Tohang port. Block Highway A U.

S. 8th army communique said the Reds controlled the hills around Kigye and had blocked one highway southwest of Tohang. A spokesman for General Mac-Arthur warned that the east roast area still offers the possibility for a major breach in the Unitpd Nations wall, which 40,000 to (10,000 Red have been probing for a soft spot for days. The Reds kept pressure on adjacent sectors west of the east coast. Renew Attack The 8th army communique re ecutive board today expelled the last two of 11 unions it marked for purge a year ago on charges of hewing to the Communist party line.

They were the West Coast Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's union, headed by Harry Bridges, and the Marine Cooks and Stewards, headed by Hugh Bryson. Bridges' union was kicked out first by a 41 to 2 vote. The dissenting votes came from J. W. Robertson, vice president of Bridges' union, and Bryson.

Next Bryson's union was ousted, 41 to 1, with Bryson casting the only opposition vote. Bridges and Bryson could appeal the executive board action to the CIO convention in Chicago November 20. But it is highly unlikely that the convention would upset the board's move. The convention last year authorized the removal of all leaders and unions found to be following Communist policy. A three-man committee investigated Bridges' activities of the past several years and decided that ha had adhered to Communist party policies at the expense of CIO A top White House official who asked that he not be named said the affair would at least prevent any recurrence of such public airings of divergent views.

In his report to the president, Unification Is Lauded by VFW Speaker Chicago Marx Leva, assistant secretary of defense, said today that the unification of armed forces has proved itself in the "ordeal by fire" of Korea. Leva addressed the 51st national encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He told the delegates that both secretaries of defense James Forestall and Louis Johnson "have made great and lasting contributions to our national security." These contributions, he added, "were achieved in spite of great obstacles." Leva came the the convention as a representative of his superior, Johnson. The delegates are to vote tomorrow on a resolution asking for Johnson's ouster. Leva said many unification problems remain to be solved, but quoted a recent message from General MacArthur to President Truman saying "I do not believe that history records a comparable operation which excelled the speed and precision with which the Eighth army, the Far East air force and the Seventh fleet have been deployed to a distant land for immediate commitment to major operations." Leva listed as specific accomplishments of the unification policy: 1.

"The phenomenal record that is being made by the consolidated shipping line which the navy is operating." 2. "The teamwork of services a matter to which General MacArthur has referred again and again in the most glowing terms." 3.

The ruling holds until the government's investigation is completed.

Rumor, conjecture and official denials dominated today's chapter cf the drama.

Matter Closed So far as MacArthur is concern' ed, the White House said Truman Union Protest On Taft Visit Youngstown, O. One hundred union steelworkers walked off their jobs at Youngstown Sheet and Tube company today to protest a visit by U.

Sen. Robert A. Taft Senator Taft said some pickets smiled at him when he waved and "many seemed glad to meet a notorious person." During an hour-long tour of the open hearth and machine, shop divisions of the plant, he chatted and shook hands with some workers. He made no speech. After he left the plant, getting some jeers, boos and catcalls at the gate, Taft declared: "The CIO has lied and misrepresented my record, but I have done much for health, education and housing on the federal level and not in the way the CIO wants it." James P.

Griffin, director of United Steelworkers District 26 (CIO), issued this statement on the unionists' action: "They are ready and willing' to work to make steel, but they are not ready and willing to serve as captive audiences for a man who consistently during his term of office has attempted to destroy their union, deny them the benefits of the fair deal program and whose ultimate objective appears to be their enslavement. "I will not order any of my men to serve as a captive audience and I applaud their spunk in resisting the company's effort toward that end." considers the matter closed. Mac Arthur remained silent.

Despite the president's open opposition to the loan to Franco's government, congressional leaders don't look for a veto, since the bill finances almost all operations of the government for the year which started July 1. Instead, some high congressional sources speculated, the president may ignore the congressional directive and tie up the money supposed to be turned over to Spain. The Spanish loan is part of the bill's foreign-aid allotment totaling Finishing touches were put on the bill late yesterday by the senate and the house. Both approved it by voice vote.
