By the Assoeioted Pres.

NEW YORK, May 26.-An aide
says that Gen. Macarthur was
never restrained directly or in
directly from sending American
troops to the Yalu River in Ko-
rea last November.
The statement by Maj. Gen
Courtney Whitney last night con-
tradicted testimony in Washington
earlier by Gen. Collins. Army Chief
Iof Staff.
Gen. Collins accused the ousted
Far Eastern commander of failure
ito heed advice from the Joint
Chiefs of Staff that he halt United
Nations forces about S miles
south of the Manchurian border.
Gen. Whitney said he wished
to make a categorical denial
(that) any such extraordinary in
hibitions on the use of his (Gen.
MacArthur's) troops were ever i'm
posed upon him directly or in
directly"
Instead, Gen. Whitney said
Gen. Macarthur threw American
troops into the Yalu area in COM
pllance with the basic orders under
which he was operating.
Shortly after the American
troops reached the Yalu, Chinese
Communist forces entered the Ko-
rean war and launched damag-
ing offensive against the United
Nations forces.
Gen. Whitney's full statement
in behalf of Gen. Macarthur read:
1T had been the original policy
agreed on by every one that il
possible Korean troops should be
utilized to occupy the area imme-
diately south of the Yalu once
that area was secured by our
forces.
"As the ferocity of the cam
paign increased, however, it be-
came impossible to accomplish the
objective of clearing North Korea
Of enemy forces without the max
lmum employment of all of our
forces.

terday that arming of 10 addi-
'tional divisions of South Koreans
would enable South Korean forces
to fight more vigorously"
But, he said, mo one in Korea
would think of withdrawal OF
United Nations forces at the pres
ent time. In fact, they will have
to have more come in
DR.. Rhee said a Chicago Tribune
story, based on an interview with
him, was incorrect in stating that
he felt enough South Koreans
could be armed to permit with
drawal of all American infantry
leaving only artillery and war
planes in Korea.
"All I said," DR.. Rhee told an
Associated Press reporter. was
that arming 10 additional Ko.
rean divisions would enable the
Korean forces to fight more Wig
orously in the front, with the
Americans using long-range Amer
lean guns and heavy artillery and
with the air force covering them.
I'VE do not want to see so many
lives OF our friendly nations being
sacrificed in our battlefront. !"

by Correspondent Walter Simmons
from Pusan, Korea, May II, and
delayed by censorship. was based
on an interview Mr.. Simmons had
with DR.. Rhee.
The Associated Press story was
based on Mr.. Simmons article as
in the Tribune.

lent directly, but said "if enough
south Koreans were armed and
he said, all American in

ng only artillery and war planes

DR.. Rhee was quoted directly,
however. as saying that although
most of Korea's junior officers

Split Of Senate, House
Over Terms Of UNIT
Seen Near Settlement
washington, d. q.
SATURDAY, May 26, 1851
By the Associated Press

An end to the long deadlock
between the Senate and House
over universal military training
now appears to be just around the
corner.
Informal discussions between
key Senators and Representatives
have paved the way for a COM
promise that may be reached Mon
day, it was learned today.
Chairman Russell of the Senate
Armed Services Committee, who
usually is cautious on forecasting
Legislative actions, said:
Il am hopeful that we will be
able to reach some agreement"
Due to Expire July 9.
In addition to establishing a
Ilong-range universal military
training UMT program, the dis
lputed measure also expands and
IextendS the present draft act, due
to expire July 8.
The joint conference committee
lalready has ironed out differences
over how to operate the draft but
have been stalled since April II
on UNIT provisions.
Under the Senate bill the long
range compulsory military train
ing for all young men, when they
reach" 18, was definitely author
lied.
Awaits Emergency Buildup.
The House bill provides that
Congress would get another
chance later to decide whether
the plan should be put into effect.
Both bills would delay start of
any UNIT program until the pres
Ient emergency buildup of the
armed forces is completed.
One Senate source said a pro-
posed compromise would retain
the requirement that Congress
spell out details of UNIT later.

MonfgomeIY's Ceiling
On Debt May Restrict
School Bond Sales

Doubts as to Montgomer'
County's legal ability to sell NOR,
than the ST million in schoo
bonds proposed by the Count,
Council have been raised b,
County Manager Irving G. Nc.
Nayr.
At a public hearing on the 1851
bond bill in Rockville last night
he said the county's bond attor-
neys have suggested that the
State school construction loans
previously thought exempt from
the 10 per cent limit on public
bonded Indebtedness, should be
included in the legal debt ceiling.
An opinion of the matter has been
requested.
Close to Debt Limit.
According to County Director
OF Finance Alex K. Hancock, the
State loans amount to $4,715, 900.
and their inclusion would bring
the county's bonded indebtedness
to within $683,000 of the 10 per
cent limit if the county managers
capital budget Is adopted.
Prior to Mr.. McNayr's statement
appeals had been made to the
council by the Board of Education.
the County Council Of Parent
Teacher Associations, local school
and civic groups and individuals
for approval of the entire $11,-I
1882 school budget.
Mrs. Ben B. Baylor, president
of the County Board of Education,
told the council that "the board is
at all times acutely aware of the
necessity of saving public funds
and we have done our best to set
up realistic school construction
program at a minimum cost"

That Palmer Deal-A Smelly One
(Ketchikan NewS)

(Ketchkan NeWS)
 News dispatches recently told about the Palmer airport dealing being blasted by Senate Subcom- mittee headed by Chairman Clyde R. Hoey, D.. N. C. Charges were made of collision and subterfuge against the Territory represented by those rather well known gentlemen by the names of Stanley McCutcheon and Tony Schwamm and the CAA The report was unani- nous The amount involved s142,Oo0.
 When the Daily News Fairbanks News-Miner Anchorage News and Juneau Empire exposed the deal as somewhat "odorous" the Governor said it was an excellent" stroke of business and his stooge press said it was an innocent business transaction.
 These same defenders of the Palmer Airport Deal are the advocates for immediate statehood at any cost.
 This brings us to the minority committee report headed by Senator Butler, that Alaska is not yet ready for statehood but should be allowed to elect it's own Governor Five points given against state hood in the report follow
 | Alaska cannot afford statehood at this tlme
 9 "The present bill does nothing to remove the cloud of Indian claims against Territorial lands
 g. "The present bill does not guarantee protection of the Territory's rights in it's tidelands"

Tobey Accuses


 This turn of affairs came after Galley 2 Wash Merrygoround HE Schoeppel of Kansas demanded that ex-chairman Tobey, author of the suppressed report, be called before the committee. It is some what irregular for a fellow Sen ator to be subjected to cross exam ination. However, Tobey not only stoutly denied giving out the min utes, but claimed he didn't even know they existed.
 Then, flushing with indignation, he went on to denounce the REC B. & O. loan as a scandal"
 This affair smells unto heaven" !" Tobey shouted. Some committee members didn't want the report published and they put it under lock and key"
 Then looking straight at his fel- low Republican Capehart, who sat stiff as a ramrod, Tobey charged that "B. & O. officials even passed notes to committee members" He referred to the fact that Capehart has admitted asking questions on behalf of B. & O. lawyers who sat ,behind him.
 After Tobey's fiery testimony Michigan's Senator Moody, Dem ocrat, suggested: Tn view of what the Senator from New Hampshire has said, I move that the whole case he investigated"
 Douglas of Illinois agreed, and chairman Maybank rapped: Tt is so ruled"
 Note-Every member of the con- mittee staff was brought in, pu; under oath, and asked whether he had given either the secret minutes or the suppressed report to Pear son. All swore in the negative. A careful check also showed that every copy of the report had been returned to the committees safe l except one-which remained in the hands of the chairman, Senator Maybank. He got slightly red when all eyes focused on him but stoutly claimed he had not given his copy to Pearson-which was true.
