Nations most secret codes, de-
iveloped after 16 years.
i If this had been done in public,
Senator Russell said it might have
been possible for an unfriendly
or enemy nation to solve these
codes.
i That these codes had been
broken might not become known
until the Nation was engaged
later in war, he added.
To this, Gen. Whitney said last
night:
"The quotations referred to were
taken not from any coded message
but from regular mimeographed
forms which are distributed to
commands around the world in
lots varying as to the size of the
command.
Sees No Continuity.
LAS far as the extracts were con-
cerned, there was no cryptographic
code.
THE extracts were taken from
within the paper and even if the
contrary were true. there would be
no continuity. Gen. Macarthur
got is copies but these were not
dispatched by wire and not re-
ceived by code"
Gen. Whitney also said the SEN
late inquiry "has been conducted
with relatively little partisan favor

when he met President Truman

Island last October he was told
there was no stenographer present.

Into Killing Of GI by
Red Soldiers in Vienna
THE EVENING STAR
Washington, D. C.
FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1851
BY the Assoeioted Press

VIENNA, Austria, May 4.-Ar
American military policeman was
shot to death by two Russian
soldiers early today and United
States authorities Immediately de-
manded that Soviet officials join
in an investigation.
An autopsy showed the Ameri-
can. Corpl. Paul Gresens. %, of
Rochester. N. Y, was struck by
nine bullets from a Russian ma
chine pistol. Corpl. Jack Morgan
of Keokuk, Iowa, who was with
Corpl. Gresens on patrol, said the
Russians stood between 10 and
20 feet away from Corpl. Gresens
when they cut loose with about
20 shots after being challenged in
central Vienna. The Russians
fled to the Soviet sector after the
shooting.
1t. Col. A. Korshev, the Soviet
provost marshal in Vienna, was
reported to have expressed verbal
regrets in a two-hour talk this
afternoon with 1t. Col. Henry G.
Thomas, his American opposite
number No details as to what
caused the incident have been
made public.
American military police are in
control of the sector where the
shooting occurred during the
month of May. The control ro-
tates among the occupying powers
each month. Russian soldiers on
duty-or any soldier on duty, for
that matter-have the right to
carry weapons in Vienna.
American High Commissioner
Walter j. Donnelly made the re-
quest that Soviet authorities join
Americans in an investigation.
Corpl. GreSenS was killed as he
and Corpl. Morgan were on pa
troll in the international sector
of the city They had challenged
the Russians outside the Cafe
Oriental on a poorly lit street.
The Russians, armed with ma
chine pistols, turned on the
Americans and began firing.
Corpl. Gresens fell from several
wounds. Corpl. Morgan took cover
behind a nearby church and fired
six shots in return.
The Russians eluded an Ameri-
can patrol that was summoned by
Corpl. Morgan.

Truman Sure Hearings
Will Convince Public
On Macarthur Custer

With the dramatic Macarthur
hearings under way, President
Truman remains confident they
will convince the country he was
right in firing Gen. Macarthur
from all of his Far Eastern COM
mands.
The President made this clear
at his news conference late yes
terday. He told questioner that
when the facts are all known.
there will be but one answer-and
that he has given that answer.
The President added that when
all the evidence is in reporters
could draw their own conclusions
and he thought they would be
right.
Mr.. Truman was asked specifi-
Ically about Gen. MacArthurS
statement that the Joint Chiefs of
Staff had approved completely his
war plans in January.
He advised his questioner to
wait until the evidence is all in
before coming to any conclusion
on things like that. A lot of
things will come up on which fur
ther evidence should be awaited,
he added.
The President went out of his
way to emphasize that Gen. Mac
Arthur would not let the Central
Intelligence Agency operate in his
command until recently. He said
that Gen. Walter Bedell Smith,
CHA chief. made special trip to
Japan to persuade Gen. Mac
Arthur to let CIA operate there.
Mr.. Truman also said that Gen.
Macarthur persuaded him at their
Wake Island conference last
October that the Chinese Com
munists would not intervene in
the Korean fighting.
BY implication Mr.. Truman
Gen. MacArthur's
statement in the Senate hearings
that the CIA reported in Novem-
ber that there was very little
chance of Chinese Communist in
in Korea. The Presi-
dent said he did not know of such
a CIA report and pointed out the
CIA reported to him daily.
Sorry to See 1t Happen.
Asked if the CIA actually did
not make a report pointing up the
danger of Chinese Red interven-
ton before the Chinese went into
Korea. Mr.. Truman said heI
couldn't answer without looking
it up.
At another point Mr.. Truman
was asked whether he was sur
prised when the Chinese did in
tervene. He said he thought every
body was not exactly surprised but
was sorry to see 1t happen. Asked
if this applied to Gen. Macarthur, |
the President said the general
was very much surprised.
The President would not COM
ment on what he described as the
purely personal part of the Wake
Island conference between Gen.
Macarthur and himself. He said
no record was kept of that part
of the meeting.
