Danish-U. 5. Treaty Drafted
For Defense Of Greenland
BY the Asseciated Press

COPENHAGEN, April IA
Danish American treaty on the
defense of Denmark's huge Arctic
island of Greenland has been
drafted and is now being studied
by the two governments, it was re-
liably learned today.
According to the draft, the new
treaty will be valid for 20 years.
It will succeed the treaty of 1941,
which gave the United States
rights to establish naval and air
bases in Greenland.
It was learned that Denmark
will undertake the naval defense
of the island. For this purpose
Denmark will take over the Amer
ican-built naval base in Arsuk
ford on the southwest coast.
The air defense will remain in
the hands of the Americans. For
this reason the United States will
be given back some of the air
bases, including BLUE West One
and Eight, handed over to the
Danes in the summer of 1850.

Move by Macarthur
To Resign Is Denied
BY the Associated Press

The White House said today
President Truman had no intima-
tion of any kind of any plan of
Gen. Macarthur to resign prior to
his removal.
This was the reply by Presiden-
tial Secretary Joseph H. Short
who was asked about broadcast
report. Mr.. Short was told the
report was to the effect that Gen.
Macarthur had communicated his
intentions to resign to Secretary
of the Army Pace in Tokyo and
that Mr.. Pace had relayed the in
formation to the President.
Mr.. Short told a news confer
ence Mr.. Truman had no intima-
ton of any kind along that line
and added, "the President had no
such message from Secretary
Pace"
Mr.. Short wouldn't comment on
questions as to when the President
finally decided on Gen. MacAr-
thurs removal.
Nor would he discuss Republi-
can proposals for impeachments
and for bringing Gen. Macarthur
before joint meeting of Con-
gress.
He withheld comment also on
an assertion by a Macarthur
spokesman that the general had
meticulously followed all direc-
tives On foreign policy statements

Steel Firm Got Loans
As Well as Taxi Benefit,
Capellari Charges
Putmon Defends Company.
.Soys Stockholders Are
Putting Up 50 Million
By Froncis P. Douglas

Senator Capehart, Republican,
of Indiana, asserted today that the
Government has granted tax bene-
fits to Texas steel company for
IA $73.5 million expansion pro-
gram and then loaned the COM
pany money for the expansion.
His statement, which touched
off spirited debate with Repre-
sentative Patman. Democrat, OF
Texas, was made at a hearing be-
fore the Joint Committee on De-
Ifense Production.
Both Senator Capehart and Rep
Preventative Patman are members
tof the committee. .
The incident arose during testi-
mony by William H. Harrison
head of the Defense Production
! Administration. Mr.. Harrison dis
closed plans to ask authority foi
the Government to build plants
where necessary to get production
in the defense emergency.
Certificate of Necessity.
The authority would be request
led in provisions of the Defense
Production Act which expires June
l30. Mr.. Harrison gave as an eX-
ample of a plant to be built one
manufacturing guided missiles,
plant which might have no post
emergency use. The Texas steel
plant brought up by Senator Cape
hart is the Lone Star Steel Co. o1
Dallas.
The Senator said it had re-
ceived a certificate of necessity en-
tabling it to write off IS per cent
of the $73.5 million expansion
costs in five years. Such a write
off, instead of taking 20 years t.
depreciate costs, reduces a com.
pany's taxes in a period of high
tax rates.
Senator Capehart also brought
out that the Reconstruction FL
nance Corp. had made a loan ol
1915 million to the company anc
that it had received an additiona,
loan of $23.5 million through tn.
National Production Authority.
Patman Backs Company.
"It never was the intent of Con-
greSs that a company was to re-
ceive both certificates of necessity

He declared he merely was

White House Decision Forced
By Generals Letter to Martin
Truman Delayed Final Move Until After
Long Conferences With All Advisers

lenge of presidential policies on
two points-use of Chinese Ma
tionalist troops and the relative
Importance of Asia in the con-
fict with Communism.
There had been a long buildup
of Macarthur incidents before
that and Mr.. Truman had become
increasingly annoyed. His hope
that the general would shut up
had given way to irritated wonder
at what he would say next.
The President and his closest
advisers felt the general did not
intend to comply with various
orders that he stop what the ad-
ministration considered political
talk. Instead, he seemed to be
seeking opportunities to assert his
independence of administration
policy.
In short, in the Presidents
view, Gen. Macarthur had not
been playing on the team.
Gen. Macarthur was pushing his
policy line so Notwithstanding
Expansion of the war beyond Ko-
Irea-that the President wondered
whether Gen. Macarthur wanted

Arthur. Mr. Truman went or
radio and television last night to
justify his drastic actions. He
emphasized it was a necessary
step in this country's efforts to
avoid a third world war.
Mr.. Truman said it was the
purpose of the United States to
keep the fighting in Korea from
spreading into another all-out
war, and added:
"a number of events have made
it evident that Gen. Macarthur
did not agree with that policy.
have therefore considered it es-
sential to relieve Gen. Macarthur
so that there would be no doubt or
confusion as to the real purpose
and aim of our policy"
Mr.. Truman laid down three
conditions for a peaceful settle
ment in Korea when the Commu-
nists are willing to negotiate.
These were:
/. Fighting must stop.
2. Concrete steps must be taken
to insure that fighting will not
break out again.
3. There must be an end to
the aggression.
Flatly Rejects Proposals.
The President fatty and in
forceful language rejected the sug-
gestion of Gen. Macarthur and
others that the United Nations
forces fighting in Korea should
bomb Manchuria and China and
should support Chinese National
lists in invading the mainland of
China.
IF We were to do these things, 2
Mr.. Truman declared solemnly,
we would be running q very grave
risk Of starting a general war.
If that were to happen, we would
have brought about the exact
situation we are trying to pre-
vent"
Mr.. Truman said such course
would entangle the United States
''in a vast conflict on the con-
tinent of Asia" This, he added,
would make immeasurably difficult
the task of opposing the threat of
communism throughout the world.
The Presidents statement with
respect to bombing emphasized
anew the administrations deter
mination to keep United Nations
aircraft away from Manchuria
and China at this stage of the
fighting lest attacks on Red sup
ply bases touch off a general
war.
But the President left open-as
he has done previously-what this
country would do if the Commu-
nists launched an all-out air at
tack on the U. N. forces fighting
in Korea. Military men have said
such a development necessarily
would bring quick and mammoth
retaliatory attacks on Red bases
no matter where they were.
Mr.. Truman was solemn and
unsmiling as he faced the micro
