natlOnal interest as eValuaIe
them"
Badger Returning Soon.
No reply has been received from
Admiral Badger. who Is scheduled
to return to the United States
shortly.
The testimony of the two COM
manders was sought by Senator
Knowland, Republican. of Cali
fornia and other Senators in
terested in providing some aid for
the Nationalist forces in China.
Meanwhile, there were some
signs the Senate Democratic
leadership would take some of the
amendments to the arms aid bill
drafted yesterday by Senators
Vandenberg of Michigan and Dull
les Of New York, strong Republi-
can supporters of bipartisan for
eign policy.
Like the House committee bill,
the Vandenberg-Dulles amend
ments seek merely to split the
arms money for Western Europe
between cash and contract au-
thority. and to tie this bill more
closely to the mutual defense
plans to be worked out within a
few months by the IL North At
lantic treaty nations.
Debate May Start Tomorrow.
The House is expected to start
floor debate tomorrow or Thurs
day. and pass the bill early next
week before its members begin a
series of short recesses until after
Labor Day. The Senate may not
take up the bill until sometime in
September. depending on whether
that branch decides to 60 on a
Today vacation for Labor Day.
Before voting to report the bill
last night, the House committee
COOh tIlCoC SCCPo.
l. Adopted the amendment of
Representative Lodge, Republican,
Of Connecticut, dividing the ST.
160, 800 900 for Western Europe
into s655,840 Of cash, and $685.
$50, 900 of contract authority. The
House bill also fixes March 81,
1850. as a cutoff date for both
cash and contract authority un-
less the President certifies by that
time that the North Atlantic pact
countries have worked out COM
mon defense plans. With such
certification, the funds would con-
tinue available until June 80. The
hearings have indicated Govern
ment officials expect no delay in
formal agreement on the mutual
defense plans.
China Proposal Rejected.
2. The House group turned
down a Lodge proposal to add
5000, 900, 900 for non-Communist
parts Of China. 1t adopted, how
ever. a declaration of policy, put
ting Congress on record in favor
of mutual assistance agreement
in the Far East, similar to the CO.
ordinated plans this country has
worked out with Western Europe.
This amendment was offered by
Representatives Javits, Repub-
lican, of New York; Fulton, Re
publican, of Pennsylvania; Smath-
ers, Democrat, of Florida, and

cut.

none of the opponents had ap-
pealed to him, but that he felt
'it was a mistake" not to hear
both sides on the bill.
Chairman Connally said Sena-
tor George was not present at the
last meeting, when the hearings
were closed. At that meeting, the
Texas Senator said, there was no
! demand from the members pres
ent that further witnesses be
heard.
He said today's decision would
not delay passage of the bill, be-
cause the Senate itself will be
working on other legislation for
some time.
In declining the Senator's in
vitation Gen. Macarthur informed
Secretary johnson that he thought
he "can best serve the national
interest by remaining at my post
here"
Bid Extended by Committees.
The invitation to Gen. Mac
Arthur and Vice Admiral Oscar
C. Badger, naval commander in
the Far East, was forwarded yes
terday by the Defense Establish
ment.
Mr.. johnson did not order
either of them to return and left
the decision to the two command
ers. In declining, Gen. MacAr-
thur cabled his August IL state
ment which set forth his reasons
for not returning:
II could not help but be deeply
appreciative of the honor reflected
in the desire expressed by certain
distinguished members OF the
United States Senate that I pro-
ceed to Washington to give my
views for consideration by the
Congress on the issue of United
States arms aid to the government
of China.
Views on File.
II believe, however, that during
this moment critical events in the
Far East the interests of the Amer
lean people are better served by
my remaining at my post here,
especially in view of the fact that
the focal point of inquiry (China)
is under the direct jurisdiction of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff acting
through a naval commander and
has never been within the area of
my command responsibility or au-
thority. = 4"
my specific views with respect
to the strategic potentialities of
the area embracing my Far East
Command are fully on file with
the Department of the Army.
There is little that could add to
either.
While it is, of course, unneces-
sary for me to confirm my COM
plete loyalty and devotion in the
implementation of directives or
views of the Government with
reference to my movements and
duties, 1t is my understanding
that both the President and Sec
retary of Defense have made clear
that my return in such circum-
stances is a matter for the exercise
of my judgment in the light Of
considerations bearing upon the
