Macarthur Dismissal

SAYS Vatican Writer

SUNDAY, APRIL Is, 1881
BY the Assoeioied Press

VATICAN CITY, April IA. -
:, President Truman's dismissal of
= Gen. Macarthur was described by
L'Osservatore Romano today as a
decisive act proclaiming "a desire
Z for peace
The Macarthur case was re-
moved from the international
plane to one essentially domestic
by the dismissal, said the Vatican
newspaper, which usually reflects
the opinion of Pope Plus XII. 1t
noted that President Truman's de-
cision might even be against his
own popularity"
This first editorial comment on
the case by L'Osservatore Romano
was written by Giorgio Luigi Ber-
nucci.

It Said Gen. Macarthur had
been "the expression of that policy
which held all further diplomatic
effort Coward a Korean settle
ment) to be useless and thought
that the decision could be obtained
eonly by military suecess-in prac-
tice. war against China with all
the risks that could come from it. !"
"He found himself waging
limited war, but not the enemy
which could count upon vast
numerical superiority that could
not be touched beyond the Man
churian frontier.
"The logical deduction he drew
was that of making means ade-
quate to the end. But the con-
sequence - Truman observed -
could be a general conflict" said
the newspaper.
THE President refused a policy
that presented such risk for the
United States and the world.
Says One Solution Left.
with the discard of the flypo-
thesis to attempt to end the con-
fiict by force of arms, there now
remains that of seeking a solu-
ton through negotiations"
Noting foreign Communist dec
larations that Gen. Macarthur
was fired because of military re-
versals or popular opinion against
the war, the paper said the affair
has "ignited a discussion between
the two parties that monopolize
the great majority of the Ameri-
can electorate. -
= It added that President Tru-
man 'Fhas-it has been observed
placed himself above contingent
party interests with a gesture to
.ease the situation. Unfortunately,
at seems that the reply to Tru-I
mans gesture comes only with
propaganda, which. however, will
not change the facts"

terri. the general was reported
Iby the Associated Press as agree
ing to an official reception and a
Broadway parade. But it was
said he ruled out any formal
speeches. apparently intending
to save his remarks for the address
before Congress. Earlier it had
been reported that Gen. Mac
Arthur was planning a major New
York speech and would reply there
to President Truman's action in
dismissing him from command
if denied the opportunity to ap-
pear before Congress.
Tokyo Sources Refuse to Talk.
One of the reasons for the un-
certainty about when the general
would reach Washington was due
to the fact that no decision has
been reached on when he will ad-
dress the joint meeting. Congress
is in recess tomorrow and a de-
clslon on the invitation is ex-
pected Tuesday.
According to present plans. the
joint meeting will be arranged
for either Thursday or Friday.

the confusion as to when Gen.
Macarthur would arrive here as

In his legal opinion. Mr.. L'Heu-
feux examined various aspects of
the problem of paying contingent
zfees for obtaining Government
contracts and came to this con-
selusion:
III Business, large or small, need
sIot fear hiring an agent or agency
Eat a reasonable price on a contin-
gent fee or commission basis or
otherwise to negotiate Government
CONTRACTS and perform the normal
services incident thereto.
Must Tell Relationship.
THE General Services Admins
tration (Which is responsible for
procurement policy understands
the value to business, and particu-
larly to independent small busi-
ness, of such services. The poten-
(tial Government contractor must
make full disclosure of the rela-
ltionship between himself and his
agent (other than a full-time en-
|ploye).
"If his agreement with his agent
is not based upon existing
services or influence peddling or
corrupt practices it will stand the
light of day and the contractor
need not fear making a full dis
closure. Under normal procedure,
if his bid otherwise qualities, he
will be awarded Government con-
tracts"
Mr.. L'Heureux comedies that
this has been misunderstood at
times.
Meanwhile, he said the Senate
Subcommittee on Investigations
and the GSA are to be commended
for the progress in thinning the
ranks of five percenters'" and in
specifying the type of activities
Legitimate businessmen and their
agents may engage in without
running afoul of the law.
GSA WORKING ON COue.
Mr.. L'Heureux said GSA is now
working on code of uniform
standards of conduct for Govern
ment officials which should go far
to inform Government contract
ing officers on the Governments
policy of obtaining disclosure OF
the arrangement between the
businessman and his agent.
Neither a manufacturer or his
agent need fear disapproval by
GSA of the agreement between
them if the agreement is proper,
MI. L'Heureux said. adding:
The Government will not likely
seek to disturb in the courts an
agreement or relationship which
it has already approved, provided
q full and true disclosure was
made by the would-be contractor.
: The only one who would be likely
to resort to the courts in the
average case, would be the agency
or agent who is seeking to collect
unpaid contingent fees or COM
missions"
The agent probably would face
a narrow Interpretation of stat
utes governing contingent fees,
Mr.. L'Heureux said, and must be
prepared to show the value of his
services.
But the business man, large or
small, the counsel added, need
not fear to hire an agent or agency
on a contingent fee or commission
basis to negotiate Government
contracts. provided the agreement
is above-board and provided he
makes full and true disclosure
OF the true relationship and agree
nent and thus obtains the ap-
