Douglas MacArthur has now reached a pretty confusing state. So much testimony has been taken that every appears to have stood on all sides of the question. It's possible to prove almost anything you want to by quoting only from parts of the testimony you may happen to agree with, or wish to believe. Since the only getting into an argument is to get everyone completely.

balled up, there are cited below a few examples on how the MacArthur dispute can now be reduced to near-absurdities. These are some of the points that will have to be cleared up if this marathon inquisition is to proanything constructive at all: 1. Former Defense Secretary Louis Johnson testified that when the Korean war broken out, Secretary of State Dean Acheson was opposing the aggression with U. S. air and sea-power as deterrents to Communist aggression.

So, at the start of the fight, Senator Taft and Secretary Acheson apparently held similar views, on this point. It was Gen. MacArthur, according to Secretary Johnson, who first declared that air and sea-power alone would do no good. It was Gen. MacArthur who said American ground troops would have to be used.

Whose War? That would make it Gen' MacArthur's war as to much id, Secretary Acheson's war. And it tia points up a possible great difference in views between Senator Taft and General MacArthur. What is really needed to clear up this situation is some testimony from John Foster Dulles. He was in Japan when the Korea war broke out, and he knows exactly what General MacArthur thought about it all the time. This might show that Am- St.

Vandenberg's testimony also presented some puzzlers. He declared the U. S. Air Force was operating on a "shoestring" basis. He said the Korean war wouldn't be conclusive even if U.

S. bombers knocked out Manchuria and the principal cities of China. This doesn't sound at all like the statements being issued when the Air Force was feuding with the Navy a couple of years ago. 3. Senator Taft and Lieut.

Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer would also seem to be at considerable odds over how to end the Korean war, or else Senator Taft has greatly changed his views. Last January, Senator Taft recommended in a speech that the U. S.

pull out of Korea and establish a new defense line based on Formosa and Japan, but when Gen. Wedemeyer in his testimony before the two committees recommended that the United States pull out of Korea, Senator Taft told a reporter he was against it. Taft Preference Senator Taft now says he prefers a military stalemate Korea to a 38th parallel peace settlement. Gen. Wedemeyer agrees only on the idea that peace on the 38th parallel would be psychological for the U.

S. Otherwise, Gen. Wedemeyer said SO many things he, himself, later qualfied that it's a little difficult to keep up with him. He wouldn't pull out of Korea unless the United Nations did, but if we did stay in we should gO it alone if necessary, to push the war harder. How you do all those things consistently is a bit of a mystery.

4. Most of the eight days Sec. Acheson was on the stand spent in trying to' hang full blame on him for were, China debacle. But Gen. Wedemeyer went a long way in his testimony in placing primary responsibility on General MacArthur.

That came through Gen. Wedemeyer's revelation that in 1945 he wanted S. divisions to defend Manchuria. General MacArthur, as Pacific Commander, turned down the request. If approved, it might have prevented the rise of the Chinese Reds.

In recommending that the U. S. push the Korean war harder, Gen. Wedemeyer even advocated bombing the Manchurian railroad and breaking with Soviet Russia. This is one to ponder.

As a basis for comparison, consider what would happen if the Russian air force dropped just one bomb on the 470-mile Alaska railroad that runs from Seward to Fairbanks. Would that start World War Three' 6. Gen. Wedemeyer was dead right, though, when in 1947 he prophesied that the Russian-controlled North Korean Reds would attempt an invasion of South Korea. He was way ahead of the pack on that one.

And nobody paid him any attention. But what all these cases prove, if anything, is that nobody but nobody can have all the right answers all the time. man and family visited in the home of Mr. and Mrs. L.

Miss Lehman (height, 5 feet, 7 inches; weight, 125; bust, 37; waist, 26; hips, 37) teaches the fourth grade in a Sacramento elementary school. She won the title over 16 other beauties at Santa Jake Finds Out People Important By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (P)- Nine merciless minutes finally proved to Jake Damotta today that people are important and money isn't a complete substitute for friendship. Jake for a decade operated on the theory that a man's best friend is himself and everybody else did not even deserve a call in the backstretch.

That was before the night of February 14 in Chicago when Sugar Ray Robinson battered the middleweight crown from his head. What started as a great fistic encounter wound up in another St. Valentine's massacre. But no matter what they said about Jake, he was dead game. Great Ovation For three rounds he took those killing Robinson head shots and still didn't go down.

And, when it was over, the crowd gave him an ovation which really opened Jake's eyes. Jake, the human tank with the Gibraltar jaw, is afraid now that the respect and near affection he earned from the fight fans in that one bout may not last. "All they want," he insisted bitterly he prepared for his light heavyweight encounter with Irish Bob Murphy next week, "ig to see me get my block knocked off," It's a new departure for the Bronx bull. For years he was a mean and surly man who answered every question with a snarl. In the ring he was a cruel and brutal workman.

Out of it he was a man strictly looking out for Lamotta. Beat Poverty the Hard Way That was a hangover from the days of his youth on New York's lower east side. Then he was a fat, awkward youngster from a large family, hoping, somehow to beat the rap of poverty. Jake did it, and the hard way. The other tough youngsters laughed at him when the pudgy 190-pound boy announced he was going to be a fighter.

Jake did, and he was a good one. Bue he did it behind an icy front, a man strictly without emotions. Financially he did well. But in the matter of friendship he was 8 bad also-ran. He was the only man to beat Robinson; and all it got him was derision when he couldn't accomplish the feat again.

He won the middleweight title, but the victory was tainted because the wellliked Marcel Cerdan bowed out with a dislocated shoulder. Always Jake was the villain, and he asked for it. Sportswriters who had tried to be friendly were snubbed. Today he wants to talk to them, but not too many feel the same way anymore. Lamotta knows that although they hated him, they still respected his ability in the ring.

Now, that he no longer is a champion, he is afraid that even the respect will go. So the emotional struggle rages behind the face of brown marble. Murphy, the man he faces in the start of his drive for a light heavyweight title fight, an idolized war hero. Jake is just Lamotta. But he had a taste of mob approbation that night he went down to defeat in Chicago.

Never in victory had Jake felt so good. His aim right now is more of the same, so for the first time the Bronx Bull is treading cautiously through the China shop on public opinion. Yogi Berra Is Leading Catcher CHICAGO, June 21 -Yogi Berra was back in the lead in the race for the starting All-Star American league catcher today after a 48 hours absence. The New York Yankees' ace went into the lead with 168,307 votes after a brief sojourn in second place. Cleveland's Jim Hegan, who took over first place in Berra's absence, was back in the runner-up spot with 164,924.

Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals continued to ride along as the nation's most vote-getting ball player with 194,386 ballots. Trailing him, in order, were Nelson Fox of the White Sox, Ted Williams of the Red Sox, and Jackie Robinson of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
