 States His Case
 The collision. plus the fact that Macarthur had made public state ments of policy. caused his dismiss sal, and brought him back to Wash ington today to state his case.
 This appearance was the climax of series of tremendous receptions in Honolulu. San Francisco and in the Capital. The galleries were com pletely filled long before he appear ed today.
 Mrs. MacArthur, with three wo- men friends. slipped into a seat in the White House gallery about Is minutes before he appeared. She was observed and cheered. A moment later, his young son. escorted by Col Anthony Story. pilot of the generals plane, came onto the House floor and was seated just to the left of the dais.
 Rising Ovation Macarthur entered at 12:32. He received rising ovation from ev- erybody present. Republicans and Democrats alike.
 He wore an Eisenhower jacket. without decorations. The silvery circle of five-star rank glittered on his shoulders. He shook hands with Vice President Alben Barkley and turned. placing typed manuscript on the daia.
 His face wAs an unreadable mask. His voice was low but firm and emphatic.
 No Bitterness
 He said T address you with neither rancor nor bitterness"

 Reviews Early Stages
 A burst of applause stopped him. He swiftly recalled the early stages of the Korean campaign, and said victory was within grasp when 1t was snatched away by the entry of the Chinese Communists. It was at that point, Macarthur said. that new decisions were required and they have not been forthcoming. :" He denied that he had advocated attacking metropolitan China with "our ground forces" While no man in his right mind would advocate sending our ground forces into continental China. and such was never given thought, the new situation did urgently demand a drastic revision of strategic plan- ming if our political aim was to defeat this new enemy as we had defeated the old one" Four Points of Action The general then reiterated the four points he has voiced before, actions to be taken against the Chinese Reds. They were: l. "The intensification of our economic blockade against China. 2. The imposition of a Naval blockade against the China coast. 3. The removal of restrictions on air reconnaissance of China's coastal area and of Manchuria. 4. Removal of restrictions on the forces of the Republic of China on Formosa. with logistical support to contribute to their effective oper- ations."
 No Appealing China Observers noted at that point that Macarthur did not propose the ac- tual bombing of Chinese bases. But a moment later he used the phrase, ito destroy the enemy built bases north of the Yalu." | His voice took on faint edge 1 lCf.otinIaad on PaQa IWol
