Discussing Macarthur at.
today's conference, tn e
President said he will not
pull the strings" on the
General-but will let him
say what he pleases, when
he pleases and where he
pleases, now that he's back
in this country.
A reporter had asked Mr..
Truman whether he could
pull the strings on Mac
Arthur. The President re-
piled that he could do that,
under legislation setting up
the rank of five-star gem
eral, but that he doesn't
propose to do so.
Mr.. Truman also told his news
conference that he is very we'll
satisfied with Secretary of State
AcheSon.
a correspondent had asked
whether he is considering re-
placing Acheson with Paul Hoff-
man, former administrator of the
economic cooperation admins
tration-the agency which adj
ministers the Marshall plan.
The President replied that he
is not and he added that he has
a secretary of state and is well
satisfied with him.
The reporters question had
been prompted by published
stories that the President is
sounding out Hoffman on taking
the cabinet post.
Mr.. Truman also was told that
MacArthur's chief aide, Major
General Courtney Whitney, had
made a number of statements re-
flecting the controversy over Mac
Arthur. And he was asked about
Whitney's status
The President replied that
Whitney seems to be Press Secre-
tary and Secretary to General
Macarthur, He added that there
are a lot of things being said and
he does not object to their being
said.
Mr.. Truman said that he made
Whitney a Major General at Mac
Arthur's request As for Whitney's
status. the President suggested
that the question be put to Sec
rotary of Defense Marshall.
1t was at this point that Mr..
Truman declared that he was not
and does not intend-to place
any strings on General MacAr-
thur.
A reporter then said that Whit
ney had declared that Macarthur
didn't have the faintest idea why
ne was relieved.
The President replied: Every
body else knows why. The re-
mark brought a gale of laughter.
M1Truman declined 10 con-
firm or deny a story in the. New
York Times last week giving an
administration document as the
source for details on the Presi-
dents Wake Island conference
with Macarthur last October.
A reporter asked how there
happened to be a document COW
eririg the hour in which the Presi-
dent and Macarthur were alone
IN conference.
The President replied that he
might have documented an ac-
count of the conference himself.
But he added that he wanted to
emphasize the word might"

possess the book, Practical Ways
To Laugh" with humor alphabet
lied. The book states Straightfor-
wardly it's humble purpose: This
manual discusses every source of
mirth in existence in easy refer
ence form with instructions on
when and how to laugh at each
source. No longer need you suffer,
just for laughs, egotistical col
umnists in newspapers or zany
toothpaste statesmen on radio. Con-
suit this treasure chest of wit on
any subject about which you feel a
bit tickled, have a brief chuckle
and continue on more serious busi-
ness. Remember, amateurs, no
giggling) Let's take the foolish
ness out of nonsense"
This little volume may put few
droll writers out of business, but
/ must accede to the American de-
mand for technical instruction upon
how to do everything without call
ing in a professional, from build
ing a rocket ship to making grand
pas false teeth. So lere'S an item
from the book that tells you how
TO induce your own merriment. By
now. you probably feel "a bit
tickled" about stupidity, so upon
that subject We open the manual.
(While you're entertaining your
self, I'll slip down to the breadline
and have a bite to eat) I quote:
"STUPIDITY-Richest source
of laughter. To evoke protract-
ed, uninterrupted impression
of stupidity: U Pull down
shades; (2) Remove clothes:
90 Relax on floor with hands
across chest, feet lifted high;
"a Let every muscle 60, even
sag; (5) Think profoundly of
the stupidity you have en-
countered-yOur boss, your
wife's, your mOther-in-law's.
Caution: Think OF others stu
pidity only. Your own will not
provoke laughtcr.)
Don't resist the glee we'll
ing up into your throat from
your solar plexus. Let ii suf-
fuse you. Let throat gurgle,
cheeks bulge, chest expand.
Hold 1t. but not too loEg-we
don't want a vulgar explosion
of hilarity.) Concentrate. EX-
hale. If you've followed in
structiOns, we can promise you
a very pleasant ha-ha."

homemade fun. But I'm going to
tune in on Jack Benny.
