Gen. Macarthur Appears
Before Congress

Washington (R)- General
Douglas Macarthur in a fight
ing speech before Congress
Thursday defended his far
eastern strategy and said he
understood his views were
shared in the past by ''our
own joint chiefs of-staff. ="
Eight hours later Presiden.
Truman replied indirectly by
authorizing Clayton Fritchey,
chief public relations man in
the Department of Defense, to
issue a statement saying: ''ac-
ton taken by the President in
relieving Gen. Macarthur was
based upon the unanimous
recommendations of the Presi-
dents principal civilian and
military advisers including the
joint chiefs of staff. "
Observers noted that the
Pentagon statements did not
refute MacArthur's assertion
that he at one time considered
the joint chiefs were in agree
ment with his views from a
military standpoint" on con-
duct of the war in the orient.
Gen. Macarthur was quiet
but emphatic in his history
making appearance before a
joint meeting of the House
and Senate. He laid down
/ these foundation stones in his
far eastern strategy:
l. Further economic and
military actions must be taken
against Red China.
2. Such ACTON will not nee
essarily bring the Soviet Union
into the struggle starting the
Third World Wa-.
3. The United States is
strong enough to protect itself
on two fronts.
At the same time he said he
| did not advocate sending
American forces into contin-
entail China.
MacArthur's speech drew
mixed reaction mostly along
F! party lines. The Republicans
: called it magnificent, the DEM
ocrats applauded the elOquence
but some said his speech did
not change their views that his
policy would lead to a Third
World War.
| His address to Congress was
restrained in tone and manner
but a fighting speech all the
way which drew wild applause.
I At the end he recalled an
old barracks room ballad that
;''old soldiers never die, they
just fade away"

Romans of long ago learned many
things from the Greeks, including
the way to manage pigeon post. u
This service was started in Italy
about 2,100 years ago.
The Romans sometimes placed
bets on gladiators, and there was
widespread interest in the fights
which took place in the arena. A
wealthy Roman who wanted tC
know the news in a hurry could
arrange to get it. Not being able
to go to the arena himself, he would
place one or more pigeons in the
care of a friend or servant.
After the contests were over
pigeons were set free at the arena
and would wing their way home
The wealthy Roman might be
spending time at a summer resort
from 30 to 100 miles from Rome,
but the homing pigeons carried the
news to him within an hour or two.
Messages taken by the pigeons in
ancient times were written on small
pieces of parchment or papyrus. Ink
made from SCOT or lampblack was
in use.
In later centuries Moslem gen.
erals used pigeons for carrying mes
sages. Thanks in part to fast trans

At least once, however, we are
told that a costly mistake took
place. The Crusaders were laying
siege to the city of Ptplemais when
a tired pigeon settled in their midst
Fastened to it was a message say
ing that Moslem soldiers, or Sara
Gems, were on the way to help the
city and would arrive in three days
The Crusaders took off that
message, and put another in Its
place. Written in the language OF
the SaracenS, the new message said
that the sultan could do nothing to
help. After being rested, the pigeon
was set free again, and took the mes
sage to its goal. Soon afterward
the city surrendered.
Homing pigeons have been en-
ployed in modern wars in Europe.
They also have been used for races.
In one long race, from a city in

of close to 30 miles an hour.

The bidding:

spade Pass 4spades Pass

Opening lead, jack of clubs.
Possession of great many riches
had softening effect on declarer
in today's hand and lulled him into
false sense of security.
South opened with one spade and
North raised to four. For one brief
moment South fiirted with the
idea of taking further action,
but upon sober reflection he con-
cluded that the partnership did not
have the high-card strength upon
which to base slam, for North's
raise to four spades described a
hand Of great distributional merit
but with very little in the way of
high cards. South's bullish attitude
in the bidding reflected itself in the
manner in which he proceeded to
play the hand. Under the impress
sion that he had something to
spare, he went about his business in
complacent manner and soon
found himself the victim of over
confidence.
Had West opened a diamond, de-,
clarer might have been justifiably
irked with an unkind fate that had
so unfavorably placed every honor
but the king of clubs. But West,
possessing only the foresight of
mortal, chose as his lead the jack
of clubs. This trick was won by
South with the queen. Declarer
crossed to dummy as he drew the
one outstanding trump and tried
the heart finesse. When this lost,
West naturally shifted to diamond;
East covered dummy's jack with
the queen and returned a heart.
There were still two diamond tricks
to be lost which set the declarer
down trick on what appeared to
be an invincible hand.
With careful play declarer could
have claimed the hand after the
opening lead. After winning the
opening lead and extracting the one
outstanding trump, South should
have caShed his high club, stripping
both hands of that suit. The play
of the ace followed by the queen OF
hearts now assures fulfillment of the
contract regardless of the position
of the outstanding cards. If East
should win the trick, he would be
forced to return a diamond or give
the declarer discard, but actually
West would win the king of hearts
and would shift to diamond. The
trick would go to East, but here,
too, East's next lead would present
declarer with trick.
