Hartman Has Explained

Hartman told truman that he
had carefully explained American
policy to Macarthur during his
recent visit to Tokyo and that there
was no reason for his miSunder-
standing it. Actually Harriman's
trip was largely inspired by Mac
Arthurs urge to occupy Formosa
with American troops and his
%'9n9se11ss7Xes Ell sak v II
was felt that Hartman could dip
lomatically explain that the United
States must work through the Uni
ted Nations in regard to Formosa
and that if the United States got
embroiled in any conflict with
China the Korean war would then
last indefinitely. For the Chinese
Communists would have an excuse
to pour troops into Korea.
Truman read the Macarthur
statement and hit the ceiling.
Without asking Secretary Acheson
or any others present for their
opinion, he directed Secretary OF
Defense johnson to order Mac
Arthur to withdraw his statement.
Il am charged by the constitu-
ton with the sole responsibility for
the conduct of our foreign policy"
he told those in the room. There
can only be one voice of authority
in expressing that policy. We
can't have two, or three or ten
people acting as official spokesman.
This is a fundamental rule.
I'm the case of Formosa, we can
not act unilaterally," the President
continued I'VE must continue our
efforts through the United Nations.
IF we let the Macarthur message
go unchallenged every diplomat
throughout the world will believe
despite our denials-that MacAr
thur was really speaking for the
White House. The diplomats will
be convinced we're floating a trial
balloon. No diplomat would ever
imagine Macarthur would presume
to make such a statement without
the direct AUTHORITY OF the White
House"

Gable to Macarthur

The cable which Secretary john
son Immediately dispatched to Mac
Arthur read pretty much as fol-
lows: The President Of the United
States directs that you Immediately
recall your statement addressed TO
the Veterans of Foreign Wars con-
tanning your views regarding For
mosa. Your statement is not in
accord with the established foreign
policy of the United States as en-
unciated by the President
At this writing no reply has been
received.
Though Secretary Johnson has
agreed with Macarthur. on For
mosa and once worked backstage
to overrule the State Department
on Formosa, other high military
men in the Pentagon Building now
take a different view This holds
true of many in both the Army and
Navy.

Eghtless. BrokeIess Cars Being Sought by Laird

The annual autumn safety campaign on Alaskan highways will be a drive with teeth in it here in the Valley, territorial highway patrolman Stanley Laird said this week. He's much too busy with his one-man staff of himself to spend his time issuing warnings. Patrolman Laird is go- ing to begin issuing tickets to all vehicles on Valley highways which don't have the proper num- Der of head and taillights or the proper amount of braking power.
 As the winter approaches and driving becomes more difficult, it is absolutely essential that all ve- hicles adhere strictly to every safety regulation, he warned. And that's the only warning. Valley drivers will wi get - after this, tickets. :' :: ;...

built his nest in sunkist wheat
fields and shares the skies with the
Northwest Airlines, undisturbed
and unafraid.
The wheat harvesting is about
completed. 1t averaged from 10 tc
80 bushels to the acre. Raymond
Johnson, who purchased the c. c
Henley section last fall, was the
first to finish, with an average OF
16 bushels to the acre on the quar-
ter section where his house stands
This section of land includes the
Edgar Pippinger, Tommy Scarlet
and the LATE Molebach homesteads
and a railroad quarter joining the
Scarlet place on the west. Mr..
Johnson lives on the Pippinger
homestead and has practically
lived in Montana all his life, hav-
ing ranched south of Laurel before
coming here. His 17-year-old son,
Wayne, who is attending school in
Santa Rosa, Calf, has been with
his father all summer, but has re-
turned now to California, to re-
sumo his studies.
Walter Baxter, who operates the
largest wheat acreage has set a
precedent this fall, by bailing his
straw, which has been contracted
for by the Billings Livestock COM
mission in Billings. Leonard
Thomas and Phil Bluett have as
sisted in harvesting Mr.. Baxter's
1900 acres
Earl Linger, and his three sons,
Lloyd, Roy and Russell, have been
busy this fall putting up hay for
their fine herd of registered Here
fords. Their wheat was slightly
hailed, but the average rancher
who suffered severe loss the past
two years by hail, escaped this
season. Considerable damage was
done by grasshoppers late in the
season. Thirty-five acres of spring
wheat on the Luckey homestead,
made a surprising yield. of 10
bushels to the acre after their visi-
tation.

Music
New String Quartet
Makes Auspicious
Debut in Recital
By EIeno de Soyn

Anticipation surrounded the de-
but of the New Music String Quar-
tet in the Library of Congress last
night. sponsored by the Gertrude
Clarke Whittall Foundation. Its
name was intriguing. Here was
possibly. the first organization
which promises to walk path OF
its own making and expects to
play something worth hearing, but
new or unfamiliar.
In yesterdays program older
unfamiliar works were featured
A quartet by the Moravian Franz
Xaver Richter and Shubert's post
humous Quartet movement in C
Minor were given a hearing to-
gether with Shumann's Quartet
in F Major, op. Al. No. g" less
known than some of his others.
OF the three numbers heard,
Schubert's work gave the players
their greatest opportunity. Disci-
plined and seasoned beyond their
years. the three young men of the
group: Broadus Earle and Mat
thew Raimondi, violins, and Wal
ter Trampler, viola, are a perfect
match for the dean of the en-
semble. Claus Adam, cello. The
dramatic substance of the work
seemed to ignite an inner fire in
the group and lend their playing
that exciting intensity of express
sion not often found in more
famous ensembles.
With the exception of Schubert.
their Interpretation as yet is not
profound. While the tone of the
ensemble is always mellow and
sensitive, more could be found in
the lyrical passages of Schumann
and in his "Andante, quasi varia-
zioni" of the quartet. The elf-like
finale, taken at a brisk pace. was
pure and lovely, as was the de-
livery Of Richter's Quartet in C
Major, op. S, No. l." Not deep, It
showed a fine workmanship and
the graceful spirit of the 18th
century.
1t is hoped that this new group
will bring out other unfamiliar
music and more of that composed
between the years of 1850 and
1925. One glance at the catalog
in the Library of Congress is suff1-
cient to point out how much of in
terest had been buried for a CEN
tury. Beethoven's Quartet in c
Major, op. SO. No. 3" was listed as
final number.
