against the Republican senatorial
nominee. Representative Richard

plea for election in nearby Los
Angeles districts-usually strongly
Democratic and Douglas territory.
It is in Southern California,
where a majority of population is

the votes to offset the areas in
Northern California which are
less favorable to her.
The first town she hit was

nearly all of them are Republican,

The small size of the crowd does
not perturb Mrs. Douglas. She

Truman Statement on PorIey

which has attended the combined
military effort must be supple
mented by both spiritual and ma
terial rehabilitation. 1t is es-
sentially a task of helping the
Koreans to do a job which they
can do for themselves better than
any one else can do it for them
The United Nations can, however
render essential help with supplies
and technical advice as we'll as
with the vital problem of rebuild
ing their educational system.
Meanwhile. 1 can say I was
greatly impressed with what Gen
Macarthur and Ambassador Nue.
clio told me about what has al
ready been done and is now being
done to bring order out of chaos
and to restore to the North Ko-
Feah people the chance for a good
life in peace.
Rebuilding Progresses.
For example. the main rail line
from Inchon to Suwon was open
to rail traffic in less than 10 days
after the Inchon landing. The rail
line from Pusan to the west bank
of the Han River opposite Seoul
was open to one-way rail traffic
about October 8.
Bridge and highway reconstruc-
ton is progressing rapidly. Power
and the water supply in Seoul were
re-established within a week after
the re entry into the capital. Gen
Macarthur paid a particularly fine
tribute to the service being rem
dered in Korea by Ambassador
Muccio.
I asked Gen. Macarthur also to
explain at first hand his views on
the future of Japan with which ]
was already generally familiar
through his written reports. AS al
ready announced, we are moving
forward with preliminary negotia-
tions for a peace treaty to which
Japan is entitled.
Gen. Macarthur and I look for
ward with confidence to a new
Japan which will be both peaceful
and prosperous.
Asked About U. N. Stand.
I also asked Gen. Macarthur to
tell me his ideas on the ways in
which the United States can most
effectively promote its policies OF
assisting the United Nations to
promote and maintain interna-
tional peace and security through
out the Pacific area.
On all of these matters, I have
found our talks most helpful and
I am very glad to have had this
chance to talk them over with one
Iof Americas great soldier states
men who is also now serving in
the unique position of the first
commander -in-chief of United
Nations peace forces. We are fully
aware of the dangers which lie
ahead but we are confident that
we can surmount these dangers
with three assets which we have;
First, unqualified devotion tt
peace; second. unity with our fel-
low peace-l loving members of the
United Nations; third, our deter
inination and growing strength

Closed Sessions Over.
The denials and rebuttals came
at the end of the two-day closed
sessions held by Senator Kefauv-
er's committee in Philadelphia
Since the hearings were held be-
hind closed doors, the only infor-
nation the public has gotten was
what Senator Kefauver summar-
lied for reporters. That's what
produced this series of develop
ments:
Senator Kefauver told reporters
that Assistant Police Superintend-
ent George F. Richardson named
Rosen and linked him with crime
syndicates in other cities during
testimony on Friday.
After reading published reports
of Richardson's testimony, Public
Safety Director Samuel H. Rosen-
berg declared, This information,
correct or otherwise, has never
been supplied to me-"
Summoned From Questioning.
Rosenberg said he was there
fore summoning Richardson to re-
port to his office for questioning
at 10 am. Monday.
Later, Rosenberg announced
that Richardson telephoned him
from New York that he had not
called Rosen the Quaker City's
numbers chieftain, nor had he
said Rosen had links with other
cities. 1t was not known whether
Richardson included in his denials

was closely associated with Jimmy
LaFontaine.

committee released the letter from

The 1st Cavalrymen and Brit

tollopS:
I have met with Gen. of the
Army Douglas Macarthur for the
purpose of getting first-hand in
formation and ideas from him. I
did not wish to take him away
from the scene of action in Korea
any longer than necessary and.
therefore. I came to meet him at
Wake. Our conference has been
highly satisfactory.
The very complete unanimity of
view which prevailed enabled us
to finish our discussions rapidly
in order to meet Gen. MacAr-,
thurs desire to return at the ear
liest possible moment. 1t was
apparent that the excellent CO.
ordination which has existed be-
tween Washington and the field,
to which Gen. Macarthur paid
tribute, greatly facilitated the dis
cusSion.
Met With Advisers.
After I had talked with Gen.
Macarthur privately. we met to-
gether with our advisers. These
Joint talks were then followed by
technical consultations in which
the following participated:
Gen. Macarthur and Ambassa-
dor John Muccio; Mr.. Averell
Hartman, special assistant to the
President; Secretary of the Army
Frank Pace; Gen of the Army
Omar N. Bradley, chairman. Joint
Chiefs of Staff Admiral Arthur
w. Radford, commander in chief
of the Pacific Fleet; Assistant Sec
retary of State Dean Rusk, and
Ambassador at Large Philip c..
Jessup.
Primarily we talked about the
problems in Korea which are Gen.
MacArthur's most pressing re-
sponsibilities. I asked him for
information on the military
aspects. I got from him a clear
picture of the heroism and high
capacity of the United Nations
forces under his command. We
also discussed the steps necessary
to bring peace and security to the
area as rapidly as possible in ac-
cordance with the intent of the
resolution of the United Nations
General Assembly and in order to
get our armed forces out of Korea
as soon as their United Nations
mission is completed.
Discuss Korea's Future.
We devoted good deal of time
to the major problem Of peaceful
reconstruction of Korea which the
United Nations is facing and to
the solution of which we intend
to make the best contribution Of
which the United States is cap
able. This is a challenging task
which must be done properly, if
we are to achieve the peaceful
goals for which the United Nations
has been fighting. The success

Gov. Lane, noted. that in July
it became apparent that collec-

be some easing" of the sales tax.
Il so announced at the time,
indicating that it might be feas-
