Gen. Eisenhower and Admiral
Nimitz had been recalled to duty
the latter having been named re-
Gently to head the new Commis-
sion bn Internal Security.
"Have you anything in mind
for Gen. Macarthur" the Pres
dent was asked, and again the
conference broke into a laugh as
the President snapped, Not at the
present time.
Refers to Inquiry.
The President added that he
knew what the reporter wanted tx
know in the first place and wanted
to know why the question had not
been asked directly and not in
roundabout fashion.
It was then that the President
was asked If the excerpt he had
read from his April II speech
had reference to current develop
ments in Korea. He said no, that
he was referring to the upcomine
Senate inquiry.
The President refused to COM
ment on reports that the Amer
ican forces in Korea now have
authority to bomb Manchuria. nor
would he comment on the current
battle movements there.
Asked then about a New York
Times story of last Saturday
purporting to reveal a private
conversation between the Presi-
dent and Gen. Macarthur, the
President declined comment.
A reporter wanted to know if
the same documents that the
Times had could be made public
generally. The President said he
was not in a position to do that.
When another reporter said
that all of those who cover the
White House would like to share
in future scoops" the President
recalled that he had said at one
time that he would talk to any
one he pleased when he pleased
but again he added that in this
instance he had not talked to the
New York Times reporter, An
thony Leviere-who wrote Satur-
days story. The instance which
the President recalled was an in
terview with Arthur Kreck, head
|of the New York Times bureau
here, which the President said
disturbed the reporters greatly.
Asked if there was any chance
|of the Senate inquiry reclassify-
ing any of that information, the
President said that was up to the
committees.
Under questioning, the Presi-
dent then turned to the public ut
terances of Gen. Macarthur and
Gen. Whitney. He was asked
whether there are any restrictions
on Gen. MacArthur's public utter
ances.
He at first remarked that he
had no strings on Gen. MacAr-
thur, but then. checked himself
and said that he did. but did not
intend to pull them.
He said that he was glad that
Gen. Whitney was talking.
MIR. Truman said that at Gen.

The railroads informed the COM
mission they plan to issue IL

which will sell for about one
fourth of the price of the newly

The commission said many pc
titions protesting the proposal to
increase fares were received, but
only seven persons appeared to
of1er testimony at the hearing.
I'm general" the commission
said. "the protestants' evidence
was directed to the quality of the
service rather than the proposed
increase in fares. The complaints
were mainly that the cars were
old and sometimes dirty. the light

and IN summer. the cars were
sometimes uncomfortably warm. u
Two OF the witnesses objected to
the restricted ticket which would
not be good for rides on Satur-

Both railroads said they have
been operating their commuter
service at a loss. They estimated
the new rates would bring in
about $4,000 a month in addi-

amount would not meet current
deficits.

Schoolgirl, 8, Slain
|0n Carnival LOT
By the Associated Press

CHESTER. Pa, April 26.-An
eight-year-old schoolgirl was slain
last night on the lot of a travelling
carnival while some 1000 persons
milled about the blaring attrac-
tions of the midway 200 yards dis
|tant.
The body of Jane Althoff was
found shortly after midnight In
the cab of a truck parked in a
secluded corner of the lot. She had
been reported missing several
hours earlier after she apparently
|strayed from her two brothers
with whom she had gone to the
carnival.
An autopsy showed the child
died of suffocation. Chief County
Detective Fred F. Jack, who said
there was no indication she had
been abused, told reporters: eve
believe that she was enticed into
the truck and killed when she
screamed or started to scream for
help"
DR.. Vincent A. Necrelli, a cor
oner's physician, said bruises on
the child's neck "may mean that
the killer choked her. or he may
have grabbed her by the neck with
one hand and held the other hand
over her mouth and nose until
she suffocated."
Chief Detective Jack issued a
police teletype and radio request
for the arrest of q man he iden-
titled as James r. Reeves, 35 OF
38, Of Greenville, N. c., handy
man with the carnival. The police
teletype message asked that Reeves
'be picked up for homicide" The
man was hired by the carnival re-

MacArthur's request, he made
Gen. Whitney a major general.
AS for Gen. Whitney's status,
lthe President suggested the ques-
tion be put up to Secretary of De-
fense Marshall.
At the Pentagon, an Army
spokesman said Gen. Whitney's
application for retirement had
been received. but that he woulc
not be actually retired until he
had taken a physical examination
| The date of the examination is UP
no Gen. Whitney.
Gen. Whitney, a native of the
District and a reserve officer, ap-
piled for retirement April IL. He
is eligible to retire on his own re-
quest.
When it was recalled that the
Presidents conference with Gen
Macarthur was partly private, but
that the New York Times had
what purported to be a docu-
mented account, the President said
he might have documented the
conversation himself.
He said that of course he
couldn't answer a reporters
question as to whether Gen
Macarthur, as reported, had apol-
ogized for causing the administra-
ton embarrassment in a letter
to the Veterans of Foreign Wars
last September, declaring that
FormoSa could not be permitted
to fall into enemy hands.
Reports Referred to Histories.
Philosophizing, Mr.. Truman said
he thought a great deal of infor-
nation could come out of the
Senate hearings and he suggested
that the reporters go back to
history and they'll find out that
there's nothing new in what has
been going on in Washington in
the last 10 days.
He recalled that after the Civil
War. congressional committee
on the conduct of the war was
organized and, he continued, Gen.
George Meade, the Union COM
mander, was hailed before it and
abused like a pickpocket.
Asked if he was drawing an
analogy between Gen. Meade and
Gen. Macarthur, the President
said he was making no inference.
When reporters wanted to know
what histories he would suggest.
the President referred them to
Sandburg's six-volume work on
Lincoln; the Memoirs of u. S,
Grant, and President polk's diary.
In which he said they would find
something interesting about Win
f1eld Scott, the general with whom
Polk had trouble.
Washington, he continued. had
trouble with the Conway caba]
and also with Charles Lee, The
general whom Washington re-
lieved. History. Mr.. Truman said,
repeats itself.
The Conway cabal was a plot
by a New England group in Con-
gress and the Continental Army
TO regain control of the direction
or the war through removal of
Gen. Washington as commander
OF the Continental Army. Gen,
Lee was relieved by Washington
personally for countermanding
the commanders orders and di-
recting a retreat at the battle of
Monmouth.

mo one can doubt that, in the

free world would now be lost to us
and our struggle against Russia
would be the more difficult"
Senator Russell, who heads
the Armed Services Committee,
held his ground against public
hearings, and a showdown will
come at a preliminary meeting
early next week Of the Armed
Services and Foreign Relations
Committees.
President Truman said at his
news conference today that it Is
up to the committee to decide
whether to hold open sessions.
Senator Russell pointed out
that zone unguarded statement"
made in an open hearing might
endanger "the lives of several
thousand boys in Korea" He ap-
parently is anticipating that open
hearings would equal or surpass
the recent crime hearings as a
radio and television, attraction.
The Georgia Democrat has said
he would be willing to let Gen.
Macarthur present q statement
OF his case in open session, If
the general makes such q request,
but with the follow-up question
ing in closed session. Thus far
Senator Russell has had no re-
quest from the general for an

Chairman Taft Of the Repub-
lican Policy Committee called "en-
tirely unsatisfactory" the Russell
plan to close the hearings and
make public q transcript Of the
questions and answers, after
screening out information that
might affect national security.
Senator Taft told reporters
following a meeting Of the
Republican policy group late
yesterday, that the G. o. p. wants

Of the people and should be re-

In q Senate speech, Senator
Fulbright revealed how the Mac
Arthur row has caused the Demo.
Gratis to rally behind President
Truman.
Although Senator Fulbright and
the President have been feuding
for months over the investigation
Iof the Reconstruction Finance
Corp, the Arkansas Senator came
forward with the strongest defense
yet made for Mr.. Truman in his
break with Gen. Macarthur.
Courage Praised.
With a whimsical touch, Sena-
tor Fulbright discussed his own
standing with Mr.. Truman, but
praised the courage the President
has shown in his foreign policy
decisions during the past six
years.
Calling attention to the heavy
responsibility resting on Mr.. Tru-
man in the present world situa-
ton, Senator Fulbright said:
"Mr. Truman remains the Pres
ident and in these terrible times,
I submit that it is necessary for
us to keep him in perspective. Let
us not permit his occasional lapses
Iof speech or temperament, or his
misguided loyalty to unworthy
friends, to endanger a calm and
objective Judgment on the present
controversy"
Questioning the Macarthur pro-
gram for putting more pressure on
Red China and using the Nation
alist troops on Formosa, Senator
Fulbright asked:
Shall we gain Chang Kai-shek
and lose Britain, France, Italy, the
Low Countries, Scandinavia,
Greece and Turkey?"
Sympathy for Problems.
Striking a more personal note,
Senator Fulbright continued:
Here let me say a personal
word. My paths have never crossed
those Of Gen. Macarthur. And as
you know. they have seldom
crossed those Of President Truman.
For a long time we have been
walking on opposite sides of the
street, neither Of us nodding to the
other. He has often thought me
wrong and unspeakable, while I
have sometimes. thought him
wrong and incomprehensible. I
retain the right to agree or dis
agree with him as the case may
be. But 7 do have a real SYM
pathy for him in the awful respon-
sibility which he alone must carry.
Decisions Hailed.
"I do not know what the ver-
dict of history upon Mr.. Truman
will be. His contemporaries, such
being the fraility Of human ma
ture, are more likely to exaggerate
his faults than to enumerate his
virtues, while he, as most men, has
a full quota of both. am not in
his good graces. I have spoken
with him on official business only
once in several years. This, how
ever, does not blind me to the
TACT that he has made decisions
on number of occasions that
equal In imagination, courage and
effectiveness any ever taken by an
American President. Nearly all Of
these decisions are without prece-
dent In our history. Some Of them
are:
1.-The dropping of the A-bomb
on Japan.
"Aid to Greece and Turkey.
"The Marshall Plan.
"The Berlin airlift.
