Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway arrived in Tokyo late today, conferred privately with Gen. Douglas MacArthur whom he replaces as UN supreme commander, and then flew right back to Korea.

Following Ridgway's departure, Gen. Mac Arthur, also without comment, went to his downtown Tokyo headquarters perhaps for the last time. There he bade farewell to several persons and cleared out his desk. Earlier in the day a statement in behalf of MacArthur declared that the deposed commander in chief has "complied meticulously with all directives" throughout his 50-year military career, now closed. It was MacArthur's first reply to charges on which Mr.

Truman based his action Wednesday in relieving the five-star general of all his commands. 7 VHftu PiJ -Veneto. I The "department store" is located in his (black wool coat. He has cameos, watches, as- sorted jewelry and information for sale. He al-fso changes money.

HKSSER Miami Dally Nw rallUeal Writer TALLAHASSEE, April 12 A resolution to investigate any department or official of state government, which will probably include Gov.

Elliott of Pahokee, speaker of the House, said he would appoint the croup right away." The committee is expected to go to work immediately as it will have to make its first report to the House not later than May 27.

Prepared by Dade Rep. Dante Fascell and Rep. Charles E. Shepperd of St. Augustine, the resolution passed the House by a unanimous voice vote after Fascell in a short speech of explanation told of the urgency of the move.

He said: "In view of current events, we should set up this committee to work during this session." Rep. Jim Moody of Plant City, chairman of the resolutions committee, which offered the resolution, said "we anticipate more resolutions setting up investigative committees, but they will function after the legislature adjourns." i An attempt to reconsider the resolution, with the view of killing it, failed less than iq minutes after it had passed. Rep. D. C.

Jones of Naples said "let's be realistic. Let's don't go off half-cocked and do something absolutely worthless."

April 12 A bill which would modify the state's Sunday "blue laws' was introduced into the House today by the Dade delegation. It came in answer to a recent drive in Miami to either enforce the Sunday "blue laws" or prove their absurdity.

Several Miami merchants have received suspended sentences for doing business on Sunday. The bill would make it legal for these businesses to operate on Sunday.

WASHINGTON. April 12 iff) House Republican Leader Martin of Massachusetts said today "there is a possibility" Gen. Douglas MacArthur may fly back to the United States next week to address Congress. Martin made the announce ment to newsmen following an early morning session of the House Republican policy com mittee. "There is a possibility he said, "that Gen.

MacArthur will fly back next week and will be available to address Congress sooner than the three weeks mentioned earlier." Original plans, Martin said, were for the deposed general to return from Japan by ship. Republicans, furiously angry at President Truman for firing the general, are sponsoring a resolution inviting MacArthur to address a joint meeting of the Senate and the House. The House rules committee will consider the resolution to morrow and Martin said he is confident both the committee and the House will approve it. He said he doesn't expect ad ministration Democrats to fight the invitation proposal. As for the Senate attitude, Martin said he didn't know.

On the Democrats' side, Sen ator Kerr of Oklahoma declared MacArthur won't do it the way the Republicans propose if -he, Kerr, can prevent it. How much open party help the Oklahoman will get on that score remained doubt.

The big bombers rode through intense flak and swarms oi en emy fighters in the raid. Eighty MIGs rose from their Manchur ian bases to strike at the Super fortresses.

Seventy-two Amer ican jets immediately engaged the enemy fliers. F-84 jet pilots said it was the biggest, wildest'' jet battle they had ever seen.

MacArtnur insistence ne naa always followed all orders was contained in a statement issued by his military secretary and long-time friend.

Gen. Courtney Whitney. It was a refutation of charges that MacArthur had exceeded his authority by moving from the military into the political sphere and had defied Washington orders to clear all public utterances with the defense and State departments. Whitney himself asked release from the army so he could leave Japan, with state ment, headed, "immediate release," set forth vn a i yl points, of which the fiftn was: "The general feels that he has complied- meticulously with all directives he has received, not only recent Whitney ly, but throughout his entire mil itary service.

yesterday. dent's decision. Policy with respect to the conduct of a war cannot be made in two places. The Constitution puts the making of policy in the civilian hands of the chief executive, and it is the clear duty of the military to express its doubts or its dissent through proper military channels and not in public debate. It is, furthermore, the clear duty of the military to follow a specific presidential directive, such as was twice issued to Gen.

Portland Oregonian: "The basic issue is whether the traditional authority of civil government over military government shall be maintained. But now that the President has asserted his authority, what will the people say of bis policies which have led us into a -war which he is unwilling to let us win? The people's anger at the firing of Mac-Arthur is their answer." Richmond Timesj Dispatch now are uungs in America; ne asKea. In a general way, I told him. I asked him how were the Communists in Italy. He seemed surprised at the question.

ain't any Communists in Italy. The Commu-. nist leaders in Italy obey Russia too much, and that ruins them. All those folks who say they are Italian Communists are Communists today, something else tomorrow. It's easier to get along in industrial places if you say you are a Communist.

When it's easier to get along by saying you ain't a Communist, then everybody will be no Communist." Our talk and our walk continued, with Mario doing most the talking: "The only thing that is a problem in Italy is over. population. Too many people for what jobs we got. If I could get a job, I wouldn't be walking along the street trying to sell this stuff. I would be home with my family." There was a point to what he said.

A regular job holder before the war, a sailor during the war, Mario had taken up sidewalk selling because he could find no other work. Estimates ere that there are about 2,000,000 people in Italy unemployed, and the part-time unemployed is said to run another 2,000,000. This total and partial unemployment amounts to about 20 percent of the Italian labor force. "Mussolini was right when he said we had to find some place to send the over-population," Mario commented. "The only thing Mussolini made a mistake about was being military friends with the Germans.

The people did not like that. The fathers of the soldiers had fought the Germans 20 years before. Nobody liked the Germans, and all of a sudden, Mussolini says' we are now friends with the Germans. Nobody believed him." This, and the low pay, Mario contributed to the bad morale of the Italian soldiers during the war. He admits it was the cause of his poor morale as a sailor.

The squat, shifty-eyed Mario walked several blocks with me discussing politics and economics. Even thdUgh his business at I present was bad made only one sale he and the family were eating regularly. "That is more than what we were doing five years ago," he said. "We didn't have nothing then." Mario had much more talk in him before he finally spotted another likely looking customer. He was very polite in bidding me goodbye, shaking my assuring me Italy was not going Communistic and then hustling off the street and finally siding up to a tall man who obviously was American.

They ended with five MIGS shot down, two probably destroyed and 15 damaged. Two battle-damaged B-29s landed' at Allied-held Korean air fields, but no other damage was reported to the U.S. aircraft.

The Communist challenge tended to confirm recent intelligence reports thaf the Reds were massing aircraft Manchuria for an all-out air offensive. In the day's first battle, 80 en emy jets the biggest Communist air armada yet encountered over Korea ripped into 30 to 40 B-29 Superfortresses and 72 escorting Sabre jets and Thunder jets over Sinuiju, just south of the Manchurian border. The MIGS not- only failed to prevent the B-29s from bombing the Yalu river frontier bridge at Sinuiju, but lost three planes shot down, two probably destroyed and 14 damaged in the battle. The B-29s accounted for one of the enemy planes destroyed and one damaged, and the rest fell to guns of the escorting- fighters. The Superforts dropped 300 tons of bombs on a main Yalu river bridge in the heaviest' attack on a bridge target in the Korean war.

Writer Richard J. Collins testified today that he was a Hollywood Communist for nine years and cited writers Budd Schulberg, John Howard Lawson, and Ring Lardher, as fellow Reds. Collins told the Hoifse un- American activities committee that Communists became active in the Screen Writers' Guild around 1937 but lost out in the guild's 1947 elections. That, he added, was the year in which the committee made its first investigation of communism in the film capital. The screen writer said Schul-berg was a member of his Communist party cell but dropped out about 1941 after the Communist press panned' Schulberg's best-selling novel, "What Makes Sammy Run," a sharp satire on Hollywood.

Collins said Lardner also was a member of his Communist party cell. Lawson and Lardner were two of the "Hollywood 10" sentenced for contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions in the 1947 investigation. Collins said Lawson succeeded V. J. Jerome, as head of the Screen Writers Guild and was understood to represent the national committee of the Communist party.

He said he, himself, drifted into the party about 1938, and left about 1947. "Just as there was no formal date of entrance," Collins said, "there was even less formal date of exit." He said he became a party member simply by attending a meeting of a youth branch of the party, at the invitation of either Lardner or SchuTjerg. Allen 21A Dine ISA Dr. Jordan 11A Editorials ZOA E.
