Of Senote Hearing on Policy

you had to evacuate Korea? What
did you then plan to do?
Gen. MacArthur-As a military
contingency we prepared plans
for the evacuation If we were
forced to do so. All Of the details
were never worked out, but the
initial plans involved a gradual
withdrawal toward the south il
we were forced to do so, into va
rious defensive positions, with a
final evacuation in the southern
part of Korea.
Senator Saltonstall-Were there
any plans made for carrying or
the undertaking of the United
Nations that had been started in
Korea if you had had to leave
Korea. or in your opinion were
the plans to go back-or, rather
would you in that event have gone
back to Japan and left the situa-
tion as it was before you entered
Korea?
Gen. Macarthur - The with
.drawal contemplated returning
the mass of our troops at first to
Japan. The details of what might
have occurred after that would
have depended upon the action
itself or the directives that
might have received.
Senator Saltonstall-And there
were no directives?
No Directives Given.
Gen. MacArthur-There were
no directives. No. sir.

Woodward & Lothror
Cashier Robbed by
Bandit With Pistol
Soft-Spoken Mon Tokes
SLOT While Shoppers
Pass By Unaware

A Soft-Spoken bandit robbed a
Woodward g. Lothrop cashier OF
81 1,077 at pistol point late yester-
day. and escaped from the crowd
led department store before an
alarm could be spreaR. 1t was re-
portedly the first such robbery in
the stores history.
The man mingled with shoppers
and loitered for awhile until there
was . lull in business at a CASH
ier's window near the Tenth street
entrance. He then moved up to
the window, remarking in a con-
Iversational tone that the cashie.
might be able to help him.
AS he talked to Mrs. Inez L.
EPeyronet, SO, of 1853 Columbia
road NV. police reported, the
bandit showed a snub- -nosed .32-
Icaliber pistol under the grill. The
gun was partly wrapped in paper
ito hide it from nearby employees
and shoppers.
Grams Money In Bag.
The gunman pushed a note over
the counter, along with a 5x8-
inch upper bag. The note, police
said. read:
This is a hold up. Don't make
any noise. Don't get panicky.
Give me all the money you have
in 20's. los and SIS"
The cashier handed over the
money, police said.
1t was quickly crammed into
the bag. and the bandit moved
away toward the Tenth street exit
as Mrs. Peyronet stepped on a
burglar alarm button.
The store as well as the side
walks outside were crowded, and
the bandit disappeared before
help arrived. Presumably, he left
by the Tenth street doors.
Wore Trench Coat.
The gunman was a slender
white man, bare-headed and
wearing a tan trench coat. Police
told he was about IS years of
age, five feet 7 or 8 inches tall,
and weighed approximately 14O
pounds.
Police cruised downtown streets
in an effort to spot the bandit
and showed the cashier photo
graphs of men with records for
similar crimes.
They listed as witnesses Mrs.
Rose Burton of 215 North High
land street, Arlington, and Miss
Mae Hahlen of 1880 Wisconsin
avenue NV who were working
at other windows in the same
office.
The other two cashiers noticed
the man. but believed him to be
. customer and were not aware
that a robbery was in progress
until the alarm was spread, police
reported.

25 Senators on every phase of the
troubled world situation, and then
he strobe out of the Senate Of
fee Building apparently as fresh
as when he arrived. He few back
to New York with no definite plans
as to when he may return here.
Never wavering in his convic-
tions about what this country's
course should be, the general told
the committee that:
/. If Russia intervened in the
Far East it could not deliver such
a crippling blow to the American
Navy and Air Force as occurred at
Pearl Harbor.
Action Against Free World.
2. The battle in Korea is the
"initiatory action" of Communism
against the free world, which will
be doomed to destruction" if it
fails to crush this initial move.

knowing the views he held, the

in very contrary way, and be-

any strain upon my loyalty, if you

When the committee reconyenes
at 1890 tomorrow morning, De-
tense Secretary Marshall will take
the witness chair Gen. Macarthur

Chairman Russell announced the
Defense Secretary-also a five
star general-will be followed by
all members of the Joint Chiefs Of
Staff and Secretary of State
Acheson.
Less Strenuous Schedules.
Asked by a reporter if the COM
mittee would attempt to get Presi-
dent Truman's views into the
record, Senator Russell said he
doesn't know of any committee
that ever asked a President to take
part in such a hearing. He ex-
planned that usually the viewpoint
of the President is reflected in the
testimony of his Cabinet members,
like Gen. Marshall.
Senator Russell recalled that
George Washington once testified
before a Congressional committee,
and "even though he was the
Father of Our Country, he said,
Blank it, don't like it up here
and I'm not coming back"
Senator Russell said the COM
mitee would not be able to follow
as strenuous a schedule this week
as during the last three days while
taking the Macarthur testimony.
Probably, he said, it will keep Gen.

Miss Gray is a companionable
girl with whom a theater fulF of
people can spend an evening in a
stage apartment. There is nothing
shy about the type of virgin she
is supposed to be. Her curiosity is
boundless and no question is too
braSh for her. Are all men sedu-,
GERS? Is it passion a man feels be-
fore dinner. or merely hunger?
Do nice girls accept $500 in big
crisp bills from roguish roues?
A girl who can fire questions as
fast as Miss Gray might have
picked up a few answers by the
time she reached 1.-THE Moon Is
Blue" but it is all right that she
has not in this particular case. It
creates here a piquant impression
that innocence likes to live more
dangerously than Little Women"
said.
The immediate humans upon
whom this dawns most excitingly
are Sherman as the older philoso-
pher OF passion, and Young as the
young architect whose designs are
anything but professional. They
are communicated handsomely by
all three to the audience.
* X X X
The best parts of "The Moon Is
Blue" are those in which the
eager Miss Gray demands the
facts of life from the considerably
older Sherman. Her very eager
ness is the thing that disarms
him. He is man who not only
knows what she wants to know,
but would be happy to tell her
were she any other girl. AS it
is, he frequently is at a loss for
anything save to pour himself
another drink. This is not enough
to prevent "The Moon Is Blue"
from sagging. especially in the
second act.
Ali this concentration upon
Miss Gray and Sherman Is not
intended to suggest any made
quacy on the part of Young as
the budding architect. The hero
ines interest in him is eminently
justified and brings its own proper
reward in the plays last scene.
1t is just that the virtue of honor
which persists in his character
makes him seem a little dull by
comparison with the others in
the comedy.
"The Moon Is Blue" is played
in two settings, the observation
tower OF the Empire State Build
ing and a midtown apartment
worthy Of a promising young
architect. Stewart CLANCY has
done handsomely by both.

would not claim to be the discov.
erer of young love. What he has
done is take it out Of the vaul,
where play plots are stored, polish
it up with pen flick here and
there, and garland it with, mainly
Colleen Gray.
Miss Gray is just the girl to
portray lovely, predatorily curl.

can get into with such likely chaps
rs Hiram Sherman and James
Young can be a merry sight in

The degree of merriment varies.
I'm fact, it has something Of a
tendency to run downhill. Still,
over the three acts of "The Moon
Is Blue" it averages out rather
better than in the case of other
authors.
Any fallaway from the promise
of the opening of such comedies
can always be attributed. of
course, to the truth that young
lovers meetings invariably point
to eventual dullness. The trick is
to stop short of this point, and
.The Moon Is Blue" manages that
with reasonable expertness by
twisting back finally to its point
Of departure.
In the meantime, Miss Gray
and Sherman especially have jug
gled the relations between the
sexes adroitly enough to minimize
the fact that they have talked
amour into some pretty tatters. A
director smart enough to lay in
proper supply of such players is
to be commended for it, and Otto
Preminger is no exception to this
eourtesy.
Also, in Sherman's case he gets

pertaining after what seems to be

IS a miracle that no director has
