Truman Satisfied He Has Won Macarthur Fiot Friends Say

Mr.. Truman's dismissal OF the
five-star general, although some

did so. Republicans generally are

Army Buying Foreign Meal
To Meet Forces Needs

The Army is buying up to 10
million pounds of foreign beef to
meet the immediate needs OF
United States forces overseas.
In making this announcement
last night. the Army said its ap-
peals to American meat suppliers
had brought insufficient offers to
meet overseas demands.
The inability to obtain home
grown meat has reduced supplies
to less than a 30-day level, the
Army said. The movement OF
meat to the Far East and other
overseas theaters is based on q
60-day supply on hand, contracted
or on the way. The Army said the
meat supply in these three cate.
gorieS was enough for only 81
days consumption.
The announcement did not sa,
which foreign countries woulc
supply the meat. but before June
1949, beef was purchased from
Argentina and Uruguay for Amer
leans serving abroad and for the
Greek aid program.
