The dispu was disclosed In Springfield Thursday, when it was revealed that Oen. Bolen had taken Gen.

MacArthur violated military orders by sending United States troops to the Yalu river. Under cross-examination by Sen. Know-land Cal. the army chief of staff was forced to acknowledge MacArthur had not been disobedient or insubordinate. Collins' accusation that Mac-Arthur violated military orders was made shortly after the chief of staff began testifying as the fourth witness in the senatorial investigation into the firing of the Pacific commander.

Collins More Hostile In his testimony Collins was more critical and hostile concerning MacArthur than were the two administration witnesses who preceded him. Defense Secretary Marshall and Gen. Omar Bradley, chairmen of the joint chiefs of staff. Collins accused MacArthur of "specific violation of military orders in sending United States troops to the Yalu river last November. He made the charge as he released for the first time the terms of President Truman's proposed peace proclamation to the Chinese Reds, which MacArthur has been accused of sabotaging by his offer of March 24 to meet the Chinese communist commander to negotiate in the field.

Collins said that when MacArthur was challenged for sending American troops to the Yalu, MacArthur replied he did it because of military necessity. The Yalu is a river which is the border between North Korea and Manchuria. Let Action Stand Collins said the action was not countermanded by the joint chiefs because it already had been taken. Collins labeled MacArthur's action "a specific example" of violation of orders on MacArthur's part. Knowland challenged Collins' contention that MacArthur had disobeyed orders, insisting Mac-Arthur had not been prohibited from having American troops at the Yalu.

The senator said it had been merely "hoped" that a majority of the troops at the river would be South Koreans. Knowland emphasized that both Marshall and Bradley had testified that MacArthur had not violated a single military directive. The Calif orni an read from an official paper showing that on Nov. 24 the joint chiefs had advised MacArthur of growing concern that 'a general conflict might result from the advance of American and supporting forces to the border be- canceling from the MacArthur day Alerting of the paratroops for spelled insouciant today to be overseas duty touched off world wide speculation that the brigade was destined for Iran and that program in Soldiers' field a 17 gun salute which Gen.

The Chicago Tribune became an issue in the fight for the con-ention during an impassioned plea for Philadelphia by Mrs. Emma Guffey Miller, national committeewoman from Pennsylvania. She had pointed out that Philadelphia offered a certified check for $250,000, while Chicago had only promises.

The purchasers are Roger L. Stevens, Alfred R. Glancy and Ben Tobin. The sale price was reported to be 50 million dollars. Stevens, who has a home at Ann Arbor, Mich, is well known on Broadway as a show angel." Glancy's home is in Grosse Point, fashionable Detroit suburb.

Tobin, long active in Detroit realty circles, owns the Hollywood Beach hotel at Hollywood Beach, Fla. Interest in Chicago Building The new owners operate the Glastet corporation, a real estate holding company which has an interest in the State Madison building in Chicago. The Boston store, until its dissolution, was housed in the State-Madison building. The Empire State building cost 54 million dollars to construct in the low cost days of 193L Considered a "white elephant" during the depression era with virtually no tenants above the 60th floor -for years the Empire State has reaped a profit ever since the early part of World War LL Today its 2 million square feet of office space is 100 per cent rented, with a long waiting list of would-be tenants. It is believed now to be the most profitable office building in the world.

Report Widow Wanted Cash A company headed by the late John J. Raskob, former du Pont and General Motors executive, and his friend, the late Gov. Alfred E. Smith, erected the famous structure. Raskob held the title of vice president while Smith was president, But Smith's holdings were comparatively small, while Raskob possessed a large block of stock.

Since Raskob's death last October, there have been hints that his widow and 10 children wished to convert their interest into cash. Another of the financier's legatees was the Raskob Foundation for Catholic Activities, founded to aid enterprises of the Catholic church. The building measures L250 feet from the street to the top of the mooring mast, This measurement does not include two stories below ground, which give the building an actual total of 104 stories.

Chicago has never defaulted on an obligation, said Arvey, and he added that Democrats can be certain hotel and food rates will not be raised because they have not been raised in 30 years on any convention visitors.
