Van Fleet to Decide
On How Far to Go,
President Says

President Truman said, in
effect, today that it was UP
to 1t. Gen. James Van Fleet,
9th Army commander, to de-
eide how far north he would
push in Korea.
Asked at his news confer
ence if Gen. Van Fleets as
sertion that there was no
limit on his objective meant
a change in this country's
policy, Mr.. Truman said it
did not, adding that the COM
mander in the field has abso-
lutte charge when it comes to
tactics and strategy.

investigating the Macarthur con-
troversy, he hastened to add, how
ever, that the United States and
its II allies in the North Atlantic
area should go on with their plans
to become strong enough to deter
aggression.
The chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff gave his estimate
of the situation in the West when
Senator Wiley, Republican, OF
Wisconsin, asked if this country
has taken on more military COM
mitments than it can meet.
Other developments today were:
l. A surprise move by Senator
Hickenlooper, Republican, OF
Iowa, to make Secretary of State
Acheson the next witness instead
of the three remaining members
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The
committee will decide later in the
day.
Refers Query to Collins.
2. Gen. Bradley said he agreed,
from a military point of view that
Gen. Macarthur should have been
relieved as Far. Eastern COM
mander, but admitted that the
method of his removal probably
could have been handled better"
3. Senator Bridges, Republican,
of New Hampshire, inquired about
a rumor that Gen. Albert c..
Wedemeyer has been offered the
Job of assistant chief of staff of
the Army, but Gen. Bradley said
he did not know. He referred
the question to Gen. Collins, Army
Chief of Staff, who is scheduled
to be the next witness. Gen.
Wedemeyer studied conditions in
Asia for the President several
years ago, but his reports were
kept secret by the administration
for some time. They were re-
leased recently.
4. Senator Wiley requested the
State Department to furnish any
records it may have showing criti-
cism of Gen. Macarthur or of the
administration or military leader
ship of the United States by Allies
of this country.
When the committee met today
1t had hoped to finish Gen. Brad
ley's testimony within an hour and
to call Gen. Collins, but at noon
the chairman of the Joint Chiefs
was still being examined.
Other Danger Points Noted.
At the outset of the day. Gen.
Bradley told Senator Wiley, there
have been many places in which
there has been threatened ag-
gression" in the last six months.
Senator Wiley had asked about
the relative dangers in Iran and
Yugoslavia at this time.
In proposing that Secretary
AcheSon be called next, Senator
Hickenlooper argued that the COM
mittee may lose several weeks lis
tening to a repetition of Gen.
Bradley's testimony if it goes
ahead with present plans to call
each of the other members of the
Joint Chiefs.
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia brought out that when
the other members of the U. N.

posal to allow it's aircraft to en-

Chinese planes leaving North

wound up his request for the vast
grant of funds for what he called
a mutual security program, with
this stern admonition:
I'VE cannot win peace through
appeasement. We cannot gain
security in isolation. We will not
surrender"
The President asked for $6.25
billion for tanks. planes and guns
for Americas allies and S2.25 bill
lion for economic aid, intended
primarily to support the expanded
defense effort in nearly so friendly
countries in the year starting
July /.
Over S6 Billion for Europe.
This compares with $8.3 billion
appropriated this year and follows
his recent call for a $50 billion re-
armament program for this coun-
try.
The new program breaks down
as follows:
Europe-Military, 1924 billion,
and economic. $165 billion.
Middle East and Northern
Africa-$415 million and SIPS
million.
Asia-s555 million and s375

said, but he did not specify the
amount.
! Along with the funds. the Presi-
dent asked for a billion dollar in
crease in the lending powers Of
the Export Import Bank, but he
said this would not all be absorbed

That is why the task of the
free world is not only to build de-
