security reasons, but that if Gen.
Macarthur requests it, his part
of the session viii be thrown open
to the public.
The hearings were announced
while Republican leaders were
awaiting administration word on
whether the deposed general
would be invited to address a
joint session of Congress. House
Republican Leader Martin said
Democratic leaders had indicated
they would report decision this
afternoon.
Might Speak in New York.
Mr. Martin said Gen. Mac
Arthur had decided to make his
first speech in New York Wednes-
day or Thursday if Congress does
not extend him the privilege.
Specifically. the Senate commit
tee will go into such military
operations as affect Gen. Mac
Arthur's removal" Senator Russell
said.
But in answer to questions, he
added that the committee wishes
Ito explore the military situation
in the Far East" and indicated
that the hearings will embrace the
theme of general policy there.
After the committee unani-
mouSly voted to invite the gen.
eral, Senator Byrd, Democrat, of
Virginia, suggested the first wit
ness should be Secretary of De-.
Tense Marshall. to which the COM
mittee agreed.
May Call Acheson.
In addition to Secretary Mar
shall, we will have to call other
witnesses who may have pertinent
facts" Senator Russell added.
Asked whether Secretary of
State Acheson might be called,
Senator Russell said the commit
tee had not considered that today
but regarded it as entirely pos
sible."
In answer to another query, the
chairman thought it likely the
hearings would delve into the con-
troversial points of whether Man
churia should be bombed, and
whether the Chinese Nationalist
force should be brought into the
Korean war.
Administration leaders were re-
ported willing to go along with
limited invitation for Gen. Mac
Arthur to present his version of
the controversy, but seemingly
were planning to insist that he
submit to questioning before COM
mittees not only on his policy
views but also on his record in
the Korean fighting.
Presidential Boom Renewed.
Accompanying the Republican
agitation for hearing for the
officer was a continuation of the
attacks on President Truman and
Secretary Acheson and renewed
demands for the removal also of
the Secretary as the architect of
the Far Eastern policy with which
Gen. Macarthur for months had
been at odds.
Meanwhile, Macarthur for =
