these hearings would be pro-
ductive of good.
At the outset Of today's con-
ference, the President read the
paragraph from the April IL
speech in which he told the people
OF the Nation why Gen. Mac.
Arthur was being relieved.
In that speech, the, .Fesident
had said that the, CO lmunists
may take action which NAV
spread the war or may choose
peaceful settlement and then he
concluded:
THE decision Is theirs, because
the forces Of the United Nations
viii strive to limit the conflict if
possible"
The President said he thought

tion Of the United States and
now that 1t was up to the Senate
committees going into the oues-
ton OF American policy next week
to get the facts.
Says Everybody Else Knows.
Asked If the Congressional hear
ings would be open or closed. the
President said that was a matter
for the Senate to decide; that it
was the business of that body.
Another reporter remarked that
Gen. Macarthur is quoted as con-
tending that he had no idea as to
why he was relieved and the Pres
ldent-who dropped the Far East
ern commander for failure to 20
along with Administration policy
got a general laugh when he
said that everybody else knows
why.
The President next was asked
as to Gen. MacArthur's status.
Responding, he recalled that
Gen. Macarthur was among the
several officers given five-star rank
at the end of World War II which
put them on the same basis as
Gen. John j. Pershing after World
War and made them always sub
1ect to recall. He added that both

Appeals Court Rules
Government Services
Must Pay D. {. Taxes
Argument Thot Firm
Is Charitable Group
Denied in Decision

The United States Court of Ap-
Ipeals today ruled unanimously
that Government Services, Inc, is
not = charitable organization
within the meaning of tax
statutes. and is subject to District
taxes.
The appeals court made this
ruling in a GSI contest of a deci-
sion by the District Board of Tax
Appeals. The board had ruled
that GSI. which operates cafe
|terias in Federal buildings, was
subject to franchise, motor We
|hicle and personal property taxes.
At issue in the present case was
"a total of $1S,317 for the tax year
1949. According to Assistant
Corporation Counsel George Up
Idegraff, the District Tax Appeal
Board originally ruled about 10
years ago that GSI was tax
exempt as a charitable organiza-

was in effect a reversal of its
earlier decision.
Policy Of Service.
GSI admitted having an earned
surplus of SIS million, but said
it's cafeterias' moderate prices and
convenient locations were for the
benefit of Government employees
and thus placed it in the charity
category for tax purposes.
The appeals court, however, re-
jected the argument. 1t noted
that GSI's obiectives were highly
laudable' and that it's policies
were dictated by a 'high sense of
service" But, the court asserted,
neither as matter of philosophy
nor as matter of language" does
GSI qualify under interpretations
of tax statutes as a charitable
institution.
Attorneys for GSI had cited
legal interpretations of the word
charitable as embracing "an the
kindly inclinations which men
ought to bear toward each other
and which prompt them to pro-
mote the general welfare" With
that view in mind, GSI had argued
that the firm was entitled to tax,
exemption since it "lessened the
burdens of Government"
Do Not Reduce Burden.
But the court responded that
these cafeterias mo more reduce
the burdens of Government than
do any of the several moderate
priced cafeterias in the District of
Columbia also serving Government
They are not more inI
the public veal than is cut-rate
store or a public utility or a news
paper"
The court pointed out that
sooner or later GSI profits are
presented to the Federal govern
ment. This reduced the question,
the court reasoned, to the point of
the Federal government
has a right to these profits free of
any taxation which would benefit
the District.
In this light the court pointed
out that GSI profits stem from
the sale of meals to District resi-
dents who in turn are furnished
by the municipal government such
services as police and fire protec-
ton, school and highway facilities.

In releasing the figures, USES
pointed out that the labor supply

Fulbrieht, at Odds With
Trumun, Supports Him
On Foreign Policies
By J. A. o'Leoy

A resolution seeking to broaden
the Macarthur hearings next week
to cover the whole field of foreign
policy was introduced in the SEN
ate today by Republican Leader
Wherry of Nebraska.
It asks the Armed Services and
Foreign Relations Committees to
consider also whether Secretary of
State Acheson should be removed
from Office.
The resolution was referred
without debate to the two COM
mittees which already had made
plans to start hearings next week
on the removal of Gen. MacAr-
thur from his Far East command.
Fulbright Praises Truman.
Other developments today were:
1. Senator Fulbright, Democrat,
tof Arkansas laid aside his differ
ences with the White House over
domestic issues to praise President
Truman's handling of foreign
affairs.
2. Republicans prepared to fight
for open hearings as far a$ posst-
BILE in the Macarthur inpestiga-
tion, but with strong signs the
Democrats will support the stand
taken by Chairman Russell, Demo-
crat, of Georgia for closed sessions
3. Four Senators joined in intro
ducing a bill to prohibit the dis
missal or discipling of any mill
|tary or civilian Government off,
cial for testimony they may give
at the Macarthur hearings. Spon-
sors of the bill are Senators Nixon
of California, Taft Of Ohio, and

The new Wherry resolution
spells out II specific phases OF
foreign policy he believes the two
committees should delve into In
addition to the Macarthur pro-
gram for dealing with the Korean
war, they include:
1. Commitments growing out of
the Teheran, Yalta and Pctsdam
conferences.
2. Whether President Truman
had authority to order troops
into combat in Korea last June.
8. Whether any binding COM
mitments were made to the United
Nations or individual countries
that limit the conduct of the
Korean war.
