MacArthur and condemnation of President Truman and his Democratic administration are reflected in, hundreds of letters and telegrams being received by The Chicago Tribune.

Following is a selection of quotations from south and southwest side and suburban residents: "By this unseemly action of throwing Gen. MacArthur out of his rightful place, President Truman has committed a supreme blunder, and it's time to walk him out and quash any inflated ideas he has of another term," wrote Stella DuBois, 5472 Ingleside av. N. J. Paarlberg, South Holland, commented: "If there is any such thing as an irreducible minimum In statesmanship, we must have reached that point now via Truman and his motley crowd." May Awaken People "It is hoped that with the dismissal of Gen.

MacArthur will come the necessary cause to awaken the American people," William A. Owens 5406 Kenwood declared. If the people will exert their power by flooding congress with expressions of their desires, congress may yet save the Republic from the political disaster for which we are rapidly heading."

Thank God Truman had the courage to act." Mrs. Grace N. Smith, 1504 W. 63d wrote: "It should be the duty of every citizen and war service mother to flood Washington with letters demanding that their representatives do their duty re questing a probe of an administration drunk with power, and those responsible for these conditions be brought to immediate trial.

It is later than we think." Let's Clean House "Let's Impeach that power craving, war crazed, authority loving Harry and his gang," wrote Mrs. H. Stewart, Gary. "Let's clean house and make it White again." James W. Owen, Joliet, termed the firing of Gen.

MacArthur the greatest national tragedy, since the assassination of Lincojn. I feel the man who did the firing is as great a traitor and as guilty of treason as John Wilkes Booth. He should be impeached and compelled to stand trial for treason." Mrs. F. Schreyer, 1550 E.
