Douglas Mac-Arthur. They were Amvets and the American Veterans committee. But American Legion Commander Erie Cocke, said in a statement he was "shocked by the news." President Truman cancelled an engagement with Cocke Tuesday after Cocke said publicly he supported MacArthur's views on how the situation in China and Korea should be handled. Harold Russell, commander of Amvets, made public a telegram to Mr. Truman saying: "Amvets support your painful decision to relieve General Douglas MacArthur-of his command on obvious grounds of repeated insubordination in violation of basic American principles governing civil versus military World War III was risked by General's policies of seeking enlargement of Korean war to China, Truman says in radio address.

The dumping of Gen. Douglas MacArthur immediately set Korean peace machinery whirring into action at the United Nations yesterday. Delegations greeted the startling news of MacArthur's recall as though they felt an obstacle to an early settlement in Korea had been removed. It was this virtually universal reaction at world organization headquarters which galvanized the peace planners into action here. The three-man Good Offices committee, which had been cooling its heels for weeks, was called into closed-door conference shortly after noon by its head, General Assembly President Nasrollah Entezam of Iran, and the three officially responsible for U.

N. conciliation efforts in Korea were closeted on the 38th floor of the U. N. skyscraper for more than two hours. Asians, Arabs Function Mahmoud Fawzi Bey of Egypt hurried into consultations with his colleagues of the 12-nation Asian-Arab "peace bloc" and this group, expected to have the closest contact with Peking, first considered going into session at once and then decided to wait for a clarification of the new situation.

It was reported the coalition would probably meet Friday. Like the Asian-Arab group, the Good Offices committee decided to defer any positive move at the moment until the reactions to the MacArthur development were in. It was indicated that the three were especially interested in waiting to see if there would be any illuminating reaction in Peking. Delegates were more than usually restrained in direct comment on the deposed U. N.

military chieftain in commenting on the sensational turn of events, but their remarks on its significance emphasized the new opportunity opened up for peace talks with the Chinese. Although such talks by the Good Offices committee have been stymied by Chinese unwillingness, it was generally felt that removal of MacArthur might well soften the attitude of Peking on this basis, as one important dele-(Continued on Page Forty-Three) See MacArthur Ouster West End Youth Injured Fatally When Hit By Car Charles Sullivan, 14, son of Mrs. Margaretta Sullivan, 404 South Richland avenue, dies in York hospital from injuries received when struck by car hear his home last night. Fourteen-year-old Charles Sulli-' of 404 South Richland avenue died at 10:05 o'clock last night at York hospital, about one and one-half hours after he was struck by an auto near his home.

The eighth-grade student at West York Junior High school was rushed to York hospital in a semi-conscious condition in the city ambulance, where, according to County Coroner Lester J.

Sell, he died from shock, head injuries and loss of blood.

Witnesses said the boy was talking when he was lifted into the ambulance. An immediate blood transfusion at the hospital proved futile.

Washington, UP) President Truman explained to the world last night that he fired General Douglas MacArthur because the Far Eastern commander's policies carried a "very grave risk" of starting World War III.

In a far-flung radio and television broadcast from the White House, Mr. Truman declared "we are trying to prevent a world war not to start one." He took sharp issue with the MacArthur school of thought, which advocates bombing of Communist bases across the Manchur-ian border from Korea and assisting the Nationalists of Chiang Kai-Shek to open a second front on the Chinese mainland. "The change in commands in the Far East means no change whatever in the policy of the United States. We will carry on the fight in Korea with vigor and determination in an effort to bring the war to a speedy and successful conclusion," he said. "We are ready, at any time, to negotiate for a restoration of peace in the area.

But we will not engage in appeasement. We are only interested in real peace." If MacArthur's policy were followed, Mr. Truman said, "we would be running a very grave risk of starting a general war. If that were to happen, we would have brought about the exact situation we are trying to prevent. "If we were to do these things, we would, become entangled in a vast conflict on the continent of Asia and our task would become immeasurably more difficult all over the world.

"What would suit the ambitions of the Kremlin better than for our military forces to be committed to a full scale war with Red China? "It may well be that, in spite of our best efforts, the Communists may spread the war. But it would be wrong tragically wrong for us to take the initiative in extending the war. May Be Step To Peace "Defeat of aggression in Korea may be the turning point in the world's ses 'ch for a -practical way of achieving peace and security." Real peace, he said, can be (Continued on Page Forty-One) See President Asserts MacArthur Packs For Trip To U. S.

Moves to let him speak on policy start in House, Senate. Impeachment of Truman seen improbable. President reportedly made up mind to fire general when Truman saw MacArthur letters backing second front on China mainland. A storm of controversy raged over the dismissal of General Douglas MacArthur yesterday as he started winding up his work in preparation for his first return to his homeland in 14 years. Earlier in the day he had received a message from President Truman relieving him of all his commands in the Far East.

MacArthur said he would be able to address the Congress of the U. S. in three weeks on his views on foreign and military policy and resolutions inviting him to appear were introduced in both the Senate and House. The Senate resolution will require a motion to bring it to a vote. The House referred the measure to the rules committee and it probably will be considered tomorrow.

Impeachment Improbable The dismissal of MacArthur touched off furious arguments in Washington and throughout much of the nation, Associated Press reported. Sen.
