MacArthur Speech Splits Washington Far East Policy

UNDATED, (P) - MacArthur's fighting speech before Congress yesterday has split Washington in bitter controversy over Far East ern policy that may continue on into the 1852 presidential elections.
 The controversy largely cen tered around the 71-year-old gen. erals four-point -the-war pro- gram. He said. his views on meet ing the intervention of Chinese Communists by widening the base of the conflict had in the past been shared by most military men, in- cluding the U. s. Joint Chiefs of Staff.
 The Truman administrations reply was prompt. A spokesman at the Pentagon said last night he had been authorized by the White House to declare that President Truman's action in firing MacAr- thur twas based upon the unani- nous recommendations of tn e joint chiefs of staff"
 Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the top military policy group, told reporters at Chapel Hill, N. C., that as advisers to the presi- dent the joint chiefs render our advice to him on military point of view"
 He added, without amplifica- ton, that "the question of Gen. eral MacArthur's relief is pri- marily a political one" In

Asserts Macarthur Has Documentary Proof

TOKYO, (P)-A key staff of- ficer said today Gen. MacArthur could document fully his speech to Congress.
 Asked if MacArthur could pro- vide proof of his remarks, the officer replied:
 "Of course, that will be the easiest part of it." He added:
 "The big battle will come when he appears before the Senate Armed Services Committee to bring out the details"
 The disputed point of whether the joint chiefs of staff had ex- pressed approval of MacArthur's views remained obscure. It was generally felt, however, that Mac Arthur would not have said SO if he were unprepared to back up his statement.
 Key officers pointed out that many of the meetings between the visiting joint chiefs and Mac Arthur were held privately. At this headquarters only the gen. eral himself knew what had been said.
