RED VOICE IN TREATY BACKED WASHINGTON, April 11 VJ.P) Britain has proposed giving Formosa to Communist China and ha. suggested the Red regime have a voice in writing a Japanese treaty, authoritative sources said today.

UNACCEPTABLE, SAYS U. S. WASHINGTON, April 11 (JP) British proposals that Red China be included in Japanese peace treaty negotiations and be given title to Formosa were branded ss unacceptable today by American officials. The two requests are due to be turned down yoon by Ambassador John Foster Dulles in the course of his treaty talks with British Ambassador Sir Oliver Franks, The represent by far the most serious problem which has yet arisen anions; the western powers in connection with the Japanese peace treaty. But Mr.

Dulles, a Republican adviser who is running the project for President Truman, is reported to be optimistic that the will not be adamant. State department officials raid any negotiation with the Chinese Red government which Britain recognizes would require that the United States recccnize the Pei-ping regime something this country has no intention of doing. Unlike London, Washington maintains relations with Generalis-f fimo Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist! regime on Formosa. rs 1 urorner KauDer, Veteran Teacher At St. Louis, Dies Erother Anselm Rauber.

King St: ii mft mm mm By JACK BELL WASHINGTON, April 11 (AP) Congressional Republicans, angered by President Truman's firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, talked of "possible impeachments" today and got the general's agreement to address a joint session of senate and house.

Senator Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska and Rep. Joseph Martin of Massachusetts, the GOP floor leaders, talked to MacArthur by transpacific telephone. Martin announced to the house: "I am authorized to say that Gen. MacArthur would be delighted to have an invitation to speak" to a joint session. He added that Gen.

MacArthur "can be here in about three weeks." Martin introduced a resolution calling for an invitation to Gen. MacArthur to address congress. Senator Wherry, introducing an identical one in the senate, asked unanimous consent for a vote on it today. Senator Ernest W. McFar-land of Arizona, the Democratic leader, objected.

Senator Richard Nixon (R-Calif.) put in a resolution of his own asking the senate to go on record that President Truman "has not acted in the best interests of the American people" and should restore Gen. MacArthur to his command. SHOUT FOR IMPEACHMENT In a general senate debate. Sena tor William E. Jenner (R-Ind.) shouted a demand for Mr.

Truman's impeachment. There was applause from the packed gallery. The proposal that Gen. Mac-Arthur, address a joint session contained elements of embarrassment for the administration. DEMOCRATS QUESTION What the Democrats would do about this move was not immedi ately clear, borne nave to support it in order for such an invitation to be voted.

Many of them would like 4 to hear Gen. MacArthur's version of his controversy with the administration which led President Truman to fire him summarily early this morning as the far eastern commander. But inviting Gen. MacArthur to air his views at a joint senate-house session is a different matter than hearing them behind closed committee doors. Martin told the house he believes the entire situation involving Gen.

MacArthur's removal should be investigated. Rep. E. Fi. Cox D-Ga.) put in that he would be glad tc support a resolution for an investigation if it provided for an inquiry into the state department.

At one point there was a mild demonstration on the house floor for the general. SHORT APPLAUDED Dewey Short fR-Mo.) mentioned Gen.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, April 11 (AP) President Truman fired Gen. Douglas MacArthur today on grounds he failed to support and publicly sought to change the grand strategy of the United Nations war against Red aggression in Korea. In a sensational statement released at the White House at 1 a.m. (8 p.m. Tuesday, Hawaii time) after days of soul searching and indecision, the president announced: "With deep regret I have concluded that General of the Army Douglas MacArthur is unable to give his wholehearted support to the policies of the United States government and of the United Na tions in matters pertaining to his official duties." Acting with lightning speed on that conclusion, once he had reached.

Gen. James A. Van Fleet, commander of the 2nd army at Ft. George G. Meade, to take over the Sth army command in Korea from Gen.

Ridgway. 4 Issued a set of secret messages exchanged between Gen. MacArthur and the joint chiefs of staff here. The evident aim was to show that Gen. MacArthur had scorned successive Washington directives to clear anything he said on major political or military policy with either the state or defense departments.

ANSWER TO OPPOSITION The order "relieving" Gen. Mac-i Arthur of command was Mr. Truman's answer to the general's persistent campaign "of public statements to get the United States to follow a different policy in the far east and especially, with its U.N. allies, in the Korean war. Essentiallj- he has advocated expanding the war to include direct attacks on Red China.

He has presented Asia rather than Europe as the critical theater of conflict with aggressive communism. His dismissal amounts to reaffirmation by Mr. Truman of United States policies for a strictly limited war in Korea, if and for treating Europe as the ultimately decisive area of contest with Soviet Communist power. The bombshell announcement was made by Press Secretary Joseph H. Short at a hastily summoned White House news conference.

MacArthur he is free to "travel to such places as you thus freeing the general to return to this country after an absence of nearly 14 There were immediate demands in congress that he come at once to Washington to give his views.

The nation owes him a debt cf gratitude for the distinguished and exceptional service which he has rendered his country in posts of great responsibility. For that reason I repeat my regret at the necessity for the action I feel compelled to take in his case."
