Proposal for Limit
On Troops 10 Europe
Causes Senate Split
By The Associated Press

Members of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee divided yes
terday on the question of putting
ceiling on the number of Amer
lean troops to be sent to Europe.
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia. a veteran on the COM
mittee. told reporters he believes
Congress should fix some limita-
tion despite opposition by Gen.
Eisenhower to setting any mathe-
matical ratio between United
States and European divisions.
At the same time, Senator
Smith, Republican, of New Jer-
sey challenged the assertion by
Chairman Connally that Gen.
Eisenhower's testimony before the
committee in closed session last
week had furnished "a complete
answer to the Wherry resolution. ;"
Would Require Congress Consent.
Il don't think the general put
the kibosh on the Wherry reso-
luton at ALL" Senator Smith in
formed neWsmen.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska,
the Republican floor leader, has
introduced a resolution to forbid
the President to dispatch troops
abroad until Congress passes on
the issue.
Senator Smith said he didn't
interpret Gen. Eisenhower's state
mentS on the fixing of mathe-
matical ratio as barring future
congressional troop ceilings.
Senator Connally has opposed
any such limitation but Senator
George said he thinks it will be
necessary for Congress to act on
the matter later. He said a pro-
posed affirmative resolution by
Senator Connally to approve the
sending of troops, need not neces-
sarlly contain a ceiling, however.
i don't think we are going to
get unity in this country unless
Congress has the power to pass
on the number of troops that can
be sent abroad" he said. when
youngsters are taken out of their
homes and put into an integrated
international army that unity is
going to be required"
Says 1t Is Too Early.
Senator Smith said he doesn't
think there is much doubt that
the United States will agree to
supply some ground troops to the
international defense setup of
which Gen. Eisenhower has been
named supreme commander.
He said 1t may be too early for
Congress to fix any ceiling, adding
that he believes further reports
from Gen. Eisenhower will be nec-
essary.

Hearing Points Up Hot Issue
OF General Versus President

In Washington shared RESPONSE
oillty for his battlefield moves.
The general has been criticized
,or splitting his 9th army and 10th
corps which he sent in different
slants toward the Manchuriap
border. When the Reds struck
neither was able to help the other
Offensive or Reconnaissance.
He also called this offensive g
reconnaissance in force" to de-
ltermine the strength of the enemy
But at the time, the general called
lit an offensive and said he hoped
to end the war by Christmas.
What responsibility did the joint
chiefs have and how much author
lity did Gen. Macarthur have?
It had been commonly believed
here and in Tokyo that Gen. Mac
Arthur had virtually absolute au-
thority in fighting the Korean war
within the limits of certain broad
|directiveS.
In an interview recently, Gen.
Omar N. Bradley. chairman of the
jos, told me: Gen. Macarthur
is in supreme command of the
fighting in Korea. We can't tell
him how to run the war from
this distance"
And yet Senators have disclosed
that Gen. Macarthur testified he
had not been permitted to bomb
one Red supply dump inside Korea
near the Russian border and that
he protested-he was or
dered not to bomb within five
miles of the Yalu River at the
Manchurian border.
He said, also, that on January
IL, the jos recommended a war
plan that was identical" with his
for aerial recon-
naissance over Manchuria and
China, a naval blockade of the
China coast, and use of Chang
Kai-Shek's troops.
Bombing Not Called For.
But the text of the recommended
ton as read by Gen. Macarthur
did not mention bombing outside
K Korea-although this is a major
point in the generals proposals.
The right to talk
General Macarthur made the
statement that he believes any
officer has the right
to take issue publicly with the
views Of his commander.
This position is directly op-
posed to the old tradition in the
services that subordinate
officers keep their complaints in
the family and do not carry them
to political figures for public
airing.
Political influence on the jos
Gen. Macarthur told Senators
he has complete" confidence in
the integrity and professional skill
of Gen. Bradley and the three
Joint Chiefs of Staff, heads of the
Army, Navy and Air Force.
But then he said he would not
accept their recommendations on
the size of the Army or the mill
tary budget until he knew
whether if there had been any
currents of obligation or pres
sure" from outside.
With this testimony, Gen. Mac
Arthur indicated he believed the
jos may be swayed by political
considerations.
AS to the correctness of Gen.
MacArthur's strategy in Korea,
that question is likely to be a
topic for the military historians
to gnaw on for years to come.
II he had Won-the victory
would have been the answer. But
he didn't win, and the gate was
swung open for the critics.
In the first rounds of the great
dispute. there is no doubt that
Gen. Macarthur has the admin
istration on the defensive.
The f1nal Judge will be the
people.

hostess wore a very becoming
frock of midnight blue taffeta,
the short straight shirt having an
over skirt which was box pleated
and edged down the front with
narrow matching lace like that
about the top of the dropped
shoulder neckline. With this she
wore a string Of pearls and long
pin centered with large emerald
surrounded by diamonds. Sonora
de Odria was in black lace, the
bodice having low round neck
line which showed off the wide
band of diamonds about her
throat. The several rows of large
stones matched the diamonds in
size which fell from her ears.
Sonora de la Puente also wore
black, the low round neckline
edged with a narrow band of
white lace studded with brilliants.

neckline. The wives of the Peru
