Truman Blast Stirs
Another Dispute Over
Macarthur Recall
General Is Astonished
By ldeo His ReeoII
Wos Studied for Year
BULLETIN

The White House said today
President Truman first con-
sidered firing Gen. Macarthur
last August when the general
wrote a letter to the Veterans
of Foreign Wars. Press Secre-
tary Joseph Short told report
ers Mr.. Truman had that
incident in mind when he said
yesterday he had considered
MacArthur's dismissal for a year.
President Truman had anothe
row over the removal Of Gen
Douglas Macarthur going toda.
after a blunt assertion that h,
had studied the matter a yea
before recalling the Far Eas
commander, April II.
The general, in a statemen
issued in New York, said his as
tonishment at Mr.. Truman's new
conference remarks late yester
day bordered on incredulity.
He added: "It is difficult t
reconcile this with my appoint
ment by him as Commander il
Chief of the United Nations com
mand" in Korea. That was las
June.
Deceiving Of People Charged.
Senator Hickenlooper, Republi
can, of Iowa chimed in with tn
charge that the President ha
deceived the people" with hi
earlier expressions Of support TO
Gen. Macarthur.
Senator Brewster, Republican
of Maine, took exception also t
another news conference state
ment by the President that Re
Ipublicans are trying to overthrow
the foreign policy of the Unite
States.

don't know what it is," said tn
Senator, who is a member of tn

The Presidents discussion @
the Macarthur case was touche

Sawyer Faces
Jail Threat in
Dollar Line Case
Secretary and Nine
Others Given 5 Days
To Obey Court

Commerce Secretary Sawyer
and nine others were told today
they would be clapped into Jail
unless they comply with a Court
of Appeals directive on the Amer
lean President Lines legal battle
within five days.
Mr.. Sawyer and his co-defend-
ants were cited for contempt o.
court last month for refusing to
carry out the courts instruction
to deliver ownership of the Amer
Iican President Lines, Ltd, to R.
Stanley Dollar and his associates.
Today the court said that "if
they (the defendants) have not
complied as directed in the order
(they) must submit themselves
for commitment as in civil
contempt until they do comply" "
Others Cited by Court.
Among the nine others cited
were Deputy Attorney General
IPeyton Ford, Solicitor General
Philip B. Perlman, Undersecretary
Iof Commerce Philip B. Fleming
Paul A. Page, jr., of the Maritime
Administration, and George l..
IKillion, president of the American
president Lines and former treas
urer of the Democratic National
Committee. and four Government
attorneys.
Secretary Sawyer and the others
were cited for contempt on April 7
in surprise development of the
long. bitter fight for control of the
1858 million American President
Steamship Line.
The Court of Appeals said Mr..
Sawyer had failed to return the
shipping line to its former owner,
the Dollar company. as the court
had ordered. The Government
Icontended it owned the line be-
cause of loans made to the Dollar
interests.
Truman Entered Dispute.
Later it was disclosed that Pres
Iident Truman directly entered the
dispute last November in a letter
to Secretary Sawyer, directing him
to retain for the Government own
Iership of about 2 million shares, or
90 per cent, of the voting stock of
the company.
The history of the complex
cases goes back to 1888 when the
Maritime Commission, since abol-
ished and its duties assumed by
the Commerce Department, took
over the majority stock of the
old Dollar Steamship Line.
Litigation was begun in 1945 by
the Dollar interests. which claimed
the stock was merely pledged as
collateral for about $11 million ir
loans. The Government insisted
the stock was surrendered with
out any strings attached, ano
that it owned the steamship line
Three times the case reached
the Court Of Appeals, and three
times in went to the Supreme
Court.
Refused to Review Case. !
In his letter to Secretary
Sawyer, Mr.. Truman recalled that
the Supreme Court recently hae
refused to review the Court o1
Appeals decision that the stock
merely was pledged by the line
"The Supreme Court, which has
expressed no opinion on the merits
of Dollars claim, has specifically
said the judgment in this case is
not binding on the United States
the President wrote.
About the same time the con-
tempt proceedings were started
here, Federal District Judge George
B. Harris ruled in San Francisco
that Mr.. Sawyer and others were
not in civil contempt of court
there, and at the Governments
request re-issued an injunction

BRYN MAWR, Pa, May 1S.-
Two crack Pennsylvania Railroad
passenger trains crashed near this
Philadelphia suburb today, killing
six persons and injuring at least
81 others.
None of the dead has been iden-
titled.
Five bodies were taken from
the wreckage Of the Pittsburgh
Philadelphia night express and
the Red Arrow, bound from De-
troit to New York. Another was
reported to have been located in
the debris.
The Red Arrow plowed into the
rear OF the stopped night express
at 6:38 am. (EST), a short dis
tance west Of the station here.
Halted On Signal.
A railroad spokesman said the
19-car Philadelphia night express
had been halted on signal in
dicating that something might be
dragging from underneath the
train.
It was while the crew was try
ing to detect the drag that the
Red Arrow smashed into the rear
car-a sleeping car from Cleye-
|land-telescoping 1t and splitting
1t in half.
This car-the "Poplarvale"-
had a sleeping capacity of "a, the
spokesman said, but he added it
had not been determined how
many passengers actually were
there.
Two other cars of the express
were derailed.
Engine Falls on Side.
The engine of the Red Arrow
nosed straight into the air, then
tumbled onto its side. Behind the
locomotive were two unoccupied
lcars-a train crew dormitory and
q baggage car, both of which were
derailed.
Had these two cars been occu-
pied. 1t was speculated, the loss Of
life likely would have been greater.
The four track Pennsylvania
main line in this area. which also
pours tens of thousands of sub
urban dwellers into Philadelphia
commerce and industry daily, is
elaborately guarded with safety
devices. Among them is an auto
matte block signal system which
directs engineers to slow or stop
when operating too close to trains
on the same tracks.
A Pennsylvania official, who said
the railroad is investigating but
has not yet established the facts,
expressed the opinion the Red
Arrow was travelling at less than
normal speed at the time Of the
crash.
Priests Join Rescuers.
Within moments after the acci-
dent hundreds of persons gath
cred at the scene-in one of the
quietest of Philadelphia's residen-
tial, well-to-do suburbs.
Among the first to arrive were
two priests from the Mother of
Good Council Church in Bryn
Mawr-Father John Tuohy, o. S.
A., and Father George Mcnamara,
10. S. A.
Quickly they joined rescue par
ties in searching for the dead and
helping removal of the injured to
hospitals.
Later they agreed: There was
very little confusion. The less
badly hurt seemed to have one
chief concern-the welfare Of
those who had been injured more
seriously"
