FOLLOWING is the teTt OF Gen.
MacArthur's message today to
Chairman Bridges OF the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee:
No man could fail to appre-
ciate the friendly and generous
spirit prompting the invitation
of your distinguished committee.
If reflects a high order of devo-
tion to the public interest that
you ignore much discussed politi-
cal implications in order to insure
that the views of none which
might contribute to the sound
orientation of American policy
and action 60 unheeded.
You may be sure that I have
wished earnestly ever since the
end Of the war for the opportu-
nifty to return to my native land,
but the heavy pressure of my
duties here and the paramountcy
of the public interest have left me
no justification for so doing from
motives unofficial or personal in
character. In normal circum-
stances, should respond at once
to your present invitation as a
citizen of the republic and sit
in with you frankly to state my
views, whether they might parallel
or cut across already determined
policies or concerpts being ad-
vanced by others.
But the existing circumstances
are not normal and my return
at this time, however sincere it's
purpose, would be misunderstood
and condemned by many as po-
litically inspired and much that
I might be obligated in good con-
science to say would lose its ef-
feet under the impeaching process
of doubt thereby aroused in the
public mind. Furthermore, on
the question of appropriations af-
fecting the Far East concerning
which my views specifically are
requested, the basic policies are
already determined and in effect,
leaving only the detail of appro-
priations yet to be resolved. AS
to this theater, 1 have already
directly and through representa-
tives. expressed by views on such
detail and there is little that
coula add to what has already
been said thereon and Is now be-
fore the Congress.

GE Official Is Cool
To General Motors
New Pay Formula
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, May 28.-An official
of the General Electric Co. said
today that application of the Gen.
eral Motors formula gearing wages
to the cost of living would remove
"a large measure of the incentive
to keep costs and prices down"
L. r. Boulware. vice president in
charge of GE employe relations,
said no wage increase had been
offered to the CIO United Elec-
trical Workers.
He added that discussion between
the company and union today would
be exploratory since the implica-
tions of the General Motors action
are so confusing to the remainder of
industry"
Mr.. Boulware said General Motors
and other automobile firms had let
wage rates lag behind the cost of
living, while the electrical, steel, coal,
textile and rubber industries had
raised wages with the cost of living
obviously no cost-of living adjust
ment upward in wages would seem
to be applicable to these other in
dustries on the basis of the General
Motors formula" he said.
Last Tuesdays agreement between
General Motors Corp. and the ClO
United Automobile Workers for
paw raise of II cents an hour on
sliding scale was considered at yes
terdays General Electric session.
Yesterday in Detroit, the C1O
Electrical Workers reached similar
agreement with the electrical divl-
sion of General Motors.
Negotiations affecting l25,000 GE
employees were resumed here yester-
day after three-week lapse.
Makes Exploration of Formula.
George H. Pfeif, GE manager of
employe relations, said naturally,
in view of the General Motors de-
velopment, both the company and
union representatives indicated that
1t seemed appropriate now to
resume the discussion of wages"
General Electric has opposed any
wage increase at this time. contend
ing it is not justified and would have
an infationary effect on the Ma
tion's economy.
The union has demanded sub
stantial" increase, but has not speci-
fed the amount.
The contract talks are scheduled
to be recessed today until next
Wednesday.
G. E. says the take home pay Of
its hourly paid workers averaged
s53.o3 week last year.

Text of Macarthur MESSAGE

Apart from this, it would be
peculiarly repugnant to me to
have it felt that sought to
capitalize to political advantage
as many have frankly urged. the
public good willie which might
manifest itself upon my first
return to American soil following
the Pacific war period, for such
good will would find its inspira-
ton in the victory which crowned
our Pacific war effort to which
countless gallant Americans, liv-
ing and dead. contributed by
unfailing and invincible devotion.
Usurpation of such good will by
me to serve a political end would
be a shameful breach of their
faith and betrayal Of the
mutual trust on which was
erected the cornerstone to the
Pacific victory. On the other
hand. following settlement of the
political issues to be resolved next
month, should feel free to place
myself fully at your disposal
should you still desire clarifica-
ton of my views on this or any
other matter affecting the public
interest.
Nor do I see in passing events
such cause for concern as would
render the time element one of
paramount urgency. and I am
therefore hopeful that you will
find my appearance at such later
date no less satisfactory for your
purposes.
I have been peculiarly fortu-
nate in recent months to receive
on this detached outpost the
views of many of our citizens on
the contemporary issues which
confront American life. They
have been thoughtful and intel
ligent views, frankly and fear
lessly expressed, and have left me
with a renewed conviction that
our country's destiny in the
hands of its citizens, when fully
informed, is perfectly secure. In
deed, were I permitted to give
but one word of advice toward
the safeguard of the national in
terest, I should elect to urge
that We reaffirm the basic con-
cepts which safely guided our
past, and above all else regain
some of Lincoln's faith in the
wisdom of the people.

Senator Taft indicated that the
ability of Congress to quit June 10,
two days before the first political
convention, depends obviously on
finishing the appropriation bill, and
four or five of those have not yet

Asked If there are any other bills
besides appropriations that would in
duce Congress to return during the

"Maybe-but I would not want to
say which ones

all passed by June 19 Congress prob

If Congress is called back for
other legislation not involving ap-
preparations, the reconvening could
be after both conventions, he said
In an effort to speed adjournment,
the Policy Committee took these

Voted to ask all committees to

emergency matters. This would
keep the waiting list of bills from
growing any longer.
Decided to have the Senate meet
from ii am. to pm. starting Tues
day. There will be no session Mon
day, which will be observed as Me-
mortal Day.
A night session will be held next
Wednesday, with the possibility of
night sessions every day after next
week.
Senator Taft listed two minor bills
the leaders will try to sandwich IN
with major business at an early date
one extending certain war powers
and the other increasing the lend
ing authority of the Export Import
Bank.
Mentions Other Bills.
He cautioned reporters not to re-

other bills waiting to come up after
the draft, including: 4re4 i
The House-approved bill to repeal
the oleo tax.
A long-term farm bill to replace
the support programs which expire

A Federal aid highway bill.
Senator Taft said a conference
will be held with House Republican
leaders Tuesday in the hope of elm
mating any bills on which action by
both branches appears unlikely.
In an interview in Providence,

expressed the opinion that Congress
would not adjourn, but would dis
solve under a resolution giving the

Ex-NBC Official 'Astonished
At Furore on Voice Programs
Sentences Were Taken
Out of Context, Says
Gundero in Havana
By the Assoeiotsd Press

HAVANA, Cuba, May 28.-The
man who handled the State De-
partment's Voice of America pro-
grams to Latin America says he
is "astonished" that they caused
such a commotion in the United
States Senate.
Alberto Gandero, a Cuban-born
American citizen, formerly was
head of the Voice of America pro-
gram division of the National
Broadcasting Co. in New York. He
is here visiting relatives. Mr.. Can
dero said he resigned from NBC
last April, effective May Is.
Il can say that the people who
are doing those Voice of America
programs at NBC feel in their hearts
very deep devotion to the value
of the programs" Mr.. Gandero said
in an interview. ITO reflect in any
way on our country was the thing
farthest from our minds.
"It Is not fair to take from a
script an isolated sentence here or
there, and construe that to repre-
sent what the whole story tells.
The complete story in each case
was a fine piece of propaganda for
the United States.

has been attacking these Voice OF

possibly with bare arms and no
stockings-or, to follow the literal
language, with some skin showing
and wore feathered costume. The
program was not offensive in
any way, either to the listeners, or
to Wyoming itself"
Mr.. Gandero said NBC was given
very little by Congress with which
to put on the programs" and I'VE
could not hire the necessary per-
sonnet"
The people at NBC doing those
shows are doing so at very low
salaries" he said. People who
wrote scripts, did other wNk and
put programs on the air got $500 to
s4O0 monthly. In radio that is
peanuts.
I'm my own situation, was in
charge of the programs, but it was
physically impossible for me to re-
view every script that went on the
air. l think it is self-evident that,
taking the scripts in their entirety,
and not picking out an isolated sem
tence here or there, they were fav-
orable to the United States"
