fore a closed session of the Senate
Banking subcommittee on the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. to
be sworn as a witness. He made
two disclosures-that President
Truman weeks earlier had volun-
teered to lay before him evidence
of "fee- taking" by "a great many"
Congressman, and that White
House Aide David K. Niles had
sought. through former Senator
Burton K. Wheeler as inter-
mediary, to have Senator Tobey
look favorably on another White
House aide, Donald S. Dawson.
Never one to remain placid
under such circumstances, Sena-
tor Tobey declared Indignantly
at one point during his sworn
testimony that Mr.. Truman could
be impeached" for suppressing
evidence against any guilty Con-
gressmen, if indeed any such
evidence existed.
Somehow this statement, or a
version Of it. was promptly car
ried to the President. Next day
the President telephoned Senator
Tobey, with whom he had been
on cordial terms just a few weeks
earlier. AS recounted by Senator
Tobey, in confirming to the writer
that the conversation had oc-
Cured, Mr.. Truman's voice no
longer was warm and friendly,
and the dialogue went something
like this:
President: Hello there, Senator,
how are you?
Senator: 7 am fine, thank you.
President: I understand you're
going to have me impeached.
Senator: That's not true. Moth
ing of the sort.
President: Well, I've gotten that
information from a source in
whom I have the most complete
confidence. I was told you said
you were going to try to have me
impeached.
Senator: I have no intention
of making such an attempt, ! as
sure you, and I said no such thing
Your source has misinformed you.
President: Now let me say this
to you, Senator-if you want to
try to have me impeached. you
just go right ahead and I'll help
you.
With that there was a sharp
click and Senator Tobey was left
holding the phone. He told a
reporter later that the incident
was an unhappy one, for he had
and still has nothing but the
kindest" personal feelings toward
the President. He felt, however
that public duty made it impera.
tive that he tell the Senate COM
mittee all the facts about Tru-
mans abortive offer to provide
evidence about fee-taking. Subse-
quently Senator Tobey told the

Ridgway and 1t. Gen. James A
Van Fleet, the three men direct
ly involved in the shakeup. The
President then let his Press Sec
|retary, Joseph Short, go forward
with plans to announce the ac-
ton at / am, which was esti-
mated to be the time Gen. Mac
Arthur would be getting the Off
cial word in his Tokyo head
quarters.
Mr.. Truman made his final
Interchangeable, official decision

releases had been worked out
The President knew he was 60

to hit the first punch sharply
