Then he made it clear he believes that If a threatened new mass offensive the Communists In Korea is crushed, the Reos may decide that further aggression there or elsewhere Is "folly." Then, he eaid, the door would be open to a peaceful settlement "which will not compromise the principle and purposes of the United Nations." "Defeat of aggression in Korea may be the turning point In the world's search for a practical way of achieving peace and security," the President predicted.

Split Into 2 Camps Any such outcome, of course, would be poined to by the President's friends as Justifying his drastic action in removing MacArthur, a move that split Congress and the country into two camps. In Tokyo, an adviser said Mac- Arthur is preparing to return speedily to the United States and to make a stout defense of his views. U. Gen. Matthew B.

Rldg-way arrived in Tokyo from Korea today to take over. MacArthur did not meet the plane. His adviser, Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney, said MacArthur feels that his March 24 statement offering to meet the Communist commander in the field for peace talks and a letter to Rep.

Joseph Martin. House Republican leader, "compiled mei-culously with all directives he has received," Both were mentioned in a White House memorandum as Indications that MacArthur refused to comply with Presidential orders. The letter to Martin endorsed use of Chinese Nationalist troops. Whitney MacArthur inter preted both as "dealing exclusively with the military situation and with In the area of his uncontested au thority to speak." Mr. Truman's outline of his policy of containment brought sharp counter attacks from Republicans in Congress.

Democrats, who had been somewhat reluctant to Join in the controversy rallied to UIC7 1 V. lit uji jiwi w. Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the Republican floor leader, saM bitterly that "apparently the Presl- dent Is willing to gamble with the lives oi our ooys in ruir, in me hope that the Russian-directed Communists will see the folly of their ways." "We have heard President Tru- man's weak defense of his shabby treatment of MacArthur, the Ne- braska Senator said. "Now let us hear directly from General Mac Arthur." Resolutions Fending Wherry and Martin have resold tlons pending to Invite MacArthur to address Congress. The House Rules Committee will take up Mar- tin's proposal tomorrow but Wher.

Whitney said Martin telephoned him Wednesday night on the pos sibility of MacArthur appearing be fore a joint session of Congress to present his views. Whitney said he assured Martin that MacArthur.

would feel honored to do so If officially invited Whitney indicated MacAr thur could be back in the United States within three weeks. MacArthur was represented as eager to return to the homeland he hasn't seen in 14 years. During that time he commanded the campaign in the Pacific from Manila to Melbourne, then back against Jhe.

The second air battle flared later Thursday in the center of "MIG Alley" between Sinulju and Slnan- Ju. In this action 15 communist jets attacked 12 American Sabre Jets. The Sabres shot down two Red Jets and probably destroyed another. The fight raged for 15 minutes from 34,000 down to 4,000 feet altitude. -s Other Allied planes in 672 flights reported more than 500 Reds killed or wounded Thursday, the greatest claim against troops in the past three weeks The fighters strafed troop columns of 5,000 soldiers near Anak and 1,000 Reds near Chaer-yong.

In the ground fighting, the Allies used bayonets and hand grenades in carving out two small beachheads Wednesday on the Hatan River north bank. The Reds tried to halt the United Nations advance with heavy mor tar and grenade fire. The stiff Communist opposition led officers at first to believe they had run into the main enemy line. The Reds have jammed 18 new Divisions into North Korea. Heavy fighting also swirled near Yanggu on the Southeastern edge of the great Hwaehon Reservoir.

Tight censorship obscured the de tails. South Korean troops on the east coast swept northward to the of Kansong, 26 miles inside Red Korea. It was the deepest penetra tion In the current Allied offensive. Th? South Koreans saw Reda withdrawing to the North. The Re publican soldiers later returned to their bases south of Kansong.

New Korean peace overtures by the U.N. Three-Man Good Offices Committee were delayed today to give Communist China time to react to the ouster of General Douglas MacArthur as Commander of V. N. forces. The Committee gathered late Wednesday in a hastily-called two-hour session, only 15 hours after President Truman fired MacArthur.

At the end, U. N. Assembly President Nasrollah Entezam, committee chairman, said only that the committee had discussed the new situation. "We will have to wait to give the Chinese (Communists) time to consider the change," Entezam said, "We have not received an answer from them In more than two months that we have served but we always hope therje will be one." Entezam said the committee did not discuss a new peace proposal at this time.

Martin did not disclose the source of his latest information on Mac- Arthur's return plans but there were that he had been conferring with some of he Gener al's aides. Several Republicans said, not for direct quotation, they want to speed up the MacArthur appearance because public sentiment at this time appears to be with MacArthur.

"It could cool off it we waited three weeks," one of them said. In the event administration Dem ocrats fight the resolution to invite the General to speak in the House chamber toall members of Congress, Republicans are considering renting what one of them called "the biggest hall we could hire" and holding a party conference to which everyone would be invited. The GOP policy committee meeting approved a statement intended as a reply to President Truman's address to the nation Wednesday It said Republicans have always pursued a program of peace, and maintained there would be peace today if the Democratic adminis tration had, as they put It, not bungled. By It I. SS ELL BRINES TOKYO UP) General MacArthur made plans today for a return soon 'to the United States- ready if invited, to air before Congress the views that got him fired by President Truman.

The five-star General kept his public silence but his right hand man gave the first inkling of how staunch MacArthur's defense would be. Maj. Gen. Courtney B. Whitney MacArhur's closest adviser, issued a statement saying his deposed boss felt he had violated no Truman di rectives.

Whitney himself asked release from the Army so he could leave Japan with MacArthur. "The General feels that he has complied meticulously with all di rectives he has received, not only recently, but throughout his entire military service," Whitney said. Whitney earlier had announced he has asked the Army for retirement from his post as contact man with the Japanese government in handling the occupation. Cleans His Desk MacArthur visited his office In the downtown Dal Ichi building for one hour tonight. One of his honor guard said the General went to clean out his desk.

A large crowd of Japanese and Americans watched outside as Mac Vthur, smoking a pipe, strode from the building and entered his car. Earlier, Lt. Gen. Matthew Ridgway flew In from the Korea battlefront and went Into immediate conference with MacArthur at the five-star General's residence In the U.S. Embassy.

Ridgway was accompanied by Secretary of Army fTanK Face. After the talk, Ridgway left for Korea. Ridgway arrived after turning over nis U.S. Eighth Army Command temporarily to Lt. Gen Frank W.

President Truman announced the new command changes for Gener- als.JEUdgway and Van.

Fleet, simul taneously with the removal of Mac- Arthur. Whitney's statement defending MacArthur followed by only a few nours resident Truman's broad cast address from Washington. in tne address, President Truman said he fired MacArthur be cause he felt the General's policies earned a "very grave risk" of starting World War III. ine wnitney statement did not deal with MacArthur's policy views but emphasized the General's views that nothing he had said he over stepped his limitations. It defended specifically MacAr thur's considered rifsht to make his statement of March 24 and to write a letter March 20 to Rep.

Joseph W. Martin (R-Mass). Both were pointed out by Mr. Truman In elaborating on reasons for MacAr thur dismissal. March 24 Statement MacArthur'? March 24 statement called on Red China to settle the Korean War on expose the Pelplng regime to "risk of Imminent mill tary collapse." The March 20 letter, in reply to one written by Martin, agreed with Martin's views on the wisdom of using Chinese Nationalist troops on Formosa against Red China.

Whitney said: "The General has interpreted both his statement of March 24 and his letter to Congressman Martin dispatched from here four days prior thereto, as dealing exclusive ly with the military situation and within the area of his uncontested SUNSET DRIVE -HI Noihville Highway Tonight and Friday it mm Flul "Grtnr fori" Short I n3L tnCAV ft will not break out again. must be an end to aggression. He added that "a settlempnt founded upon these elements would open the way for the unification of Korea and the withdrawal of all foreign forces," Mr. Truman said that while the resolute stand In Korea already has "slowed down the time table, of conquest," the Communists in the Kremlin still have the decision on whether there shall be war or peace. "It may well be that.

In spite of our best efforts, the Communists may spread the war," he warned. "But it would be wrong-tragically wrong-for us to take the Initiative In extending the war." He said he is trying to limit the war in Korea "to make sure that the precious lives of our fighting men are not wasted; to see that the security of our country and the frei wnrlrt Is nnt. npArflpsslv IpnnnrH- ized; and to prevent a Third World War." "A number of events have made It evident that General MacArthur did not agree with that policy," the President said "I have therefore considered it essential to relieve General MacArthur so that there would be no doubt or confusion as to the real purpose and aim of our policy." He said it was "with the deepest personal regret" that he took the action, because he regards MacAr thur as 'one' of our greatest milt tary commanders." "But the cause of world peace Is more Important than any In dividual," the President said. President (Continued from Page 1) Red Air Force While there has been speculation that Ihe Red Air Force in Manchu ria, may have several thousand planes ready for full-scale air war information received here Indicates those estimates are high. One re- cent estimate was that the Chinese Communist Air Force had about 500 aircraft of various types which could- be used, Including some thor oughly modern jet fighter types.

These fighters Include the well-known MIG 15 and perhaps a newer, faster design. U.S. Airmen during the last two month have caught fleeting glimpses of an unusually fast Jet flghtertype sent up for swift sorties in the area of the Yalu River obviously tests of the new aircraft under battle conditions. However, the 500-aircraft esti mate ma'y have been raised in re cent days. There was suggestion of tmic in Mr.

Truman's assertion Wednesday night that it is known "there have been large Increases inthe enemy's available air The President did not explain his use of the expression "available air forces." Did he mean planes bearing the markings of Communist China, or did he include planes of the Soviet Air Force In the Far Eastern Siberian area? Mr. Truman said, too, there are signs that "the enemy is building i up 55' ground tcKi -Jor-a new mass offensive."

Jones, OPS District Director In Memphis this week. I Under OPS regulations you are a resident larm slaughterer If: (1) You are operating a farm on which you live at least month a year: (2) You transfer no more than six thousand pounds of meat trom your farm during 1950. Mr. Jones called special attention to the word "transfer." According to OPS, transfer means the selling, giving, exchanging, lending, delivering or consigning of meat and also the placing or storing of meat in warehouses or locker plants, Resident farmers who employ commercial slaughterers must do the following: Furnish the commercial slaughterer with a signed statement show ing: (1) The address ofHhe farm; (2) 'That you are a resident operator of a farm on which you reside for at least six months a year; (3) That during 1950 you transfer red no more than six thousand pounds of meat resulting from your own slaughter of livestock, or the slaughter of livestock for you; (4) A description of the livestock by species, number of head and live weight; (5) That the transfer of all or any part of the meat will not make your total transfer of meat in the current six months of period commencing March 1 or Sept. 1, ex ceed three thousand pounds, or the amount you transferred during the corresponding six months period of 1949-50, whichever is lower.

Mr. Jones pointed out that if any of the meat Is to be transferred to persons acquiring it for resale, then you must include In your state ment the names and addresses of such persons declaring that you transferred meat to them in 1950. "Also," Mr. Jones said, "you are required to attach to each leg of carcass transferred by you and to each wholesale cut transferred by you and you may not transfer meat unless lt has been so tagged." He said that each tag must have on lt, "Class 3 Slaughter," and must also show your name and address. Each transfer of meat must be accompanied by an invoice with the date, name and address of buyer, your name and address and the kind and amount of meat transferred.

Copies of the Invoice must be kept for OPS Inspection. Scientist Goes On Trial On Contempt Charge WASHINGTON. W) The first of several scientists indicted for refusing to answer questions during an investigation into atomic spying goes on trial today. The scientist, Dr. Clarence His-key, suspended professor at Polytechnic Institute, Brooklyn, is charged with contempt of Congress.

Hlskey's name figured In an Investigation of atomic spying by the House un-American activities committee. One of the counts in the indictment is based on Hlskey's" refusal to tell the committee last May 24 whether he knew Paul Crouch. Crouch, who testified the same day, said Hiskey was a one-time member of the Communist party Knoxvllle, Tenn. Crouch also said Hiskey collaborated with Mar cel Scherer, described by Crouch as the national head of Communist work among scientists in 1941. Crouch said he is a former Communist party organizer but has broken with the party.

He has. been a government witness in various trials. James Sterling Murray, security officer for the Manhattan Engineering District, which supervised development of the atomic bomb, told the un-American activities committee: Hiskey was removed from a post as an atomic scientist at the metal lurgical laboratory at the University of Chicago and was Inducted into the Army. He was stationed near Mineral Wells, Alaska. On his way to Alaska, Hiskey was in possession of written material classified as "top secret," but a Manhattan project agent removed the material without Hiskey know ing about lt, Murray testified.

In another courtroom, Edward A. Rumely, twice before a defendant in contempt of Congress actions, was called today to a third such trial. Rumely is executive secretary of committee for constitutional government. The Jury disagreed in his first trial, and he was acquit ted in. the second.

Circuit Court of Appeals today dis missed tne government's appeal from a decision which had cleared John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers of contempt of court in their 1950 contact strike. The appeal court split, 2-1, In holding the case was moot, that Is, no longer an issue. The lower court's decision by Judge Richmond B.

Keech, was quickly followed a year ago by a contract between Lewis and the soft coal operators ending a ten-month dispute It was appealed by the Justice Department. The Government asked that the Union be punished for prolonging the strike after Judge Keech had issued a back-to-work order on February 11, 1950. Justice Attorneys argued that Lewis had given only "shame'' compliance to the order when he directed the miners to get back on the Job. The miners ignored the Lewis order. The Government insisted that was according to Lewis' plan too.

A three-judge panel heard the government's arguments and the union's replies last April 26. The panel included Judges Harold M. Stephens, Barrett' Prettyman, and Charles Fahy. Chief Judge Stephens, who wrote the majoriy opinion, was Joined by Judge Prettyman. Judge Fahy wrote a dissent.

Judge Stephens said a Civil contempt proceeding would not deter offenses against the public or vindicate the authority of the court. Judge Fahy said he did not regard the case as moot and said it should be considered on its merits by the court. The effect, of the Court of Ap peals' action today, is to allow Judge Keech's action to stand. District Judge Keech, te a deci sion March 12, 1950, dismissed both criminal and civil contempt charges against Lewis and his coal miners growing out of a soft coal strike, The Government could not anneal from Judge Keech's ruling on the criminal contempt issue, but asked the Court of Appeals to reverse him on the Civil contempt charges.

Road System Badly Damaged By Bad Winter NASHVILLE, Tenn. UP) A winter of rain, ice and sub-zero weather damaged Tennessee's road system at lelist' $1,750,000, State Highway officials estimated today. Chief Highway Engineer S. M. Squires and Maintenance Engineer H.

T. Ammerman estimated the damage to the regular road system at something over $1,000,000, And F. P. Swalm, chief rural roads engineer, said the bad feather most severe on Tennessee roads since 1948, did $750,000 of dama'ge to a two-year-old rural road sys tem which represents an lnvest- of $14,000,000 Squires said the full damage of the 1950-51 winter season hai not been assessed and that continued rains, sending rivulets into potholes and cracked pavements, is still doing damage. Swalm.

estimated that five times as much damage was done to rural roads in middle and west Tennes see, where the early February freeze and blizzards hit hardest, than in the east Tennessee high way division centered at KnoxvllU and Chatanooga. Here, said Swalm, is how most of the damage was done: water worked itself Into the underlying base of the roads and when a freeze came along the blacktop pavement puffed up. The breaks In the pavement allowed more water to seep Into the base and the process was repeated by another freeze, wHle the water itself did considerable damage. So far as the rural road system Is concerned, Swalm said, repairs are left largely to the counties In which the roads lie.
