This was an obvious reference
to Gen. MacArthur's challenging
charge that the administration S
policies in Korea were "appease-
ment" and offered no hope of
anything but a stalemate with
mounting casualties which already

Gen Macarthur by name, indi-
Gated that the dismissed Far East

ments and views had disturbing
effect, in his opinion, on the mo-
rale of United Nations troops
fighting in Korea.
Chairman Russell asked Gen
Marshall as he began his testi-
mony to tell the committee "just
what restrictions were placed on
the scope of military operations
in Korea.
"The restrictions imposed on
Gen. Macarthur in the conduct OF
the campaign in Korea" Gen
Marshall replied, were in gen.
Ieral to confine the operations tc
Korea and under no circum-
stances to carry out operations
beyond the border of Korea into

manded:

Moran Perjury Jury
Beqins Deliberations
By The Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, May 8.-The per-
jury case against James j. Mo-
ran, 49, long time friend of for
mer Mayor William ODwyer, was
given to a Federal court jury
shortly before noon today.
The jury began its deliberations
after a morning devoted to sum-
nations and a 13-minute charge
by Judge Charles A. Dewey.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Eugene F. Roth, in his sum-
nation, said that the effect of a
lie told before a television camera
might be tremendous if a person
gets away with it.
Mr.. Roth reminded the jury
that Mr.. Moran was before tele-
vision and newsreel cameras
when he told the Senate Crime
Committee under oath that

Louis Weber visited his office no
more than six times when Mr..
Moran was first deputy fire COM
missioner.
Prosecution witnesses testified
there were at least Ill visits.
with these new means Of COM
munication, the effect of such a
lie-if one gets away with it-may
be tremendous" Mr.. Roth said
Joseph L. Delaney, defense coun-
gel, told the jury that the Gov
eminent had failed to prove its
perjury case.
THE Government wants you to
believe that Webers going to visit
Moran more than eight years ago
had something to do with inter-
state communications and organ
lied crime" Mr.. Delaney said.
He argued that the Government
had failed to prove this, and there
fore had failed to establish an
essential element, that Mr.. Moran
had deliberately told an untruth
about a fact material to the inves-
tigation.
Mr.. Moran rested his case yes
terday without introducing any

forces were attacked outside of
Korea. In this event, the Secre-
tary said, Gen. Macarthur was
authorized to retaliate against
such operations by bombing.
did those restrictions originate
with the Joint Chiefs of Staff as a
part of the military program for
the conduct of the war or did they
originate in the United Nations?"
Senator Russell asked.
Political Necessities Cited.
Gen. Marshall replied that the
restrictions directly related to the
views of the joint chiefs as dis
cussed in the National Security
Council by President Truman,
Vice President Barkley, Secretary
Iof State Acheson and himself. He
added:
"There was an intermingling
there of political necessities along
with military directions"
AS the administrations first
witness in the Macarthur contro-
versy, Secretary Marshall yester-
day strongly defended the dis
missal of Gen. Macarthur from
the Far Eastern commands.
Among other things. Secretary
Marshall said:
/. Gen. MacArthur's public Of
fer on March 26 to negotiate ir
the field with the Chinese Com.
munists made it necessary for thi!
Government to abandon negotia-
tions under way with other ma
tions looking toward a settlement
in Korea.
Violated Directives.
2. Gen. Macarthur violated {
Government directive by public
statements which he failed to cleal
with Washington.
3. He believed it was necessary
to relieve Gen. Macarthur imme.
diately because the issues were
becoming "too complicated to &c
on and the Presidents summary
dismissal order was required tt
avoid difficulties for 1t. Gen. Mat.
thew Ridgway in taking over con.
troll of campaign as the Korean

4. The Joint Chiefs of Stat
turned down Gen. MacArthur's
request late in November, 1850
after Red China entered the fight
ing in Korea, for $4,000 or $4,000
Nationalists troops from FormoSa
because they were convinced these
troops could not be effective.
AS Gen. Marshall returned tc
the stand, Senator Russell pre-.
dicted it would take several day.
for the Secretary to complete hi.
testimony.
He pointed out that most of the
committee members asked ne
Questions yesterday and that it il
still doubtful whether other Sen.
