what had promised to be a dra-
matte sequence to the Macarthur
events. .=
Mr.. Truman's address-which
television and. radio officials also
were planning to transmit widely
was scheduled for 2 pm. just
after Gen. MacArthur's address
to Congress and just before the
giant civic celebration for the
military man at the Monument
Grounds. Mr.. Truman called of
his speech so as not to conflict
with the Macarthur events.
The White House announcement
leaves industry officials free to
arrange schedules to cover the
generals visit. These events alone
however, probably will attract one
of the biggest audiences in history

whipped into shape, here is the

Greeting 10 Macarthur

The Chevy Chase Citizens AS.
Isociation last night voted to ex.
tend an enthusiastic-but guarded
greeting to Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur. ',...'.,..' .'.,
| An hour long wrangle was
touched of by a resolution term
ling Gen. Macarthur, among other
things. "a statesman in whom we
can entfust the affairs of our
Nation"
In the series of parliamentary
disputes that followed. the associ-
alton deleted any mention of "ef-
forts to belittle" the general.
Several members suggested that
the resolution should refer only
to Gen. MacArthur's ''past states
|manship" without any implication
that the country needs his states
manship in the future" A substi-
tute motion was introduced to
remove any reference to the gen.
erals craftsmanship.
The pared-down resolution
states that Gen. Macarthur has
convinced us that he possesses
rare qualifications and ability as a
military leader and has shown
outstanding and superior ability
in governing the Japanese people. -
On those grounds, the association
voted almost unanimously to "as-

Taft Denies He Favors
FuN-ScaIe Invasion Of.
China d byU. 5. Troops
by the Associated Press

Senator Taft, Republican, Of
Ohio. said today he does not favor
a full-scale invasion of China by
United States troops.
A statement issued by his Office
referred to a speech Senator Taft
made April IL before the Yale
Engineering Association in New
York. The statement said:
"The Associated Press put lead
on this speech which gives a COM
pletely erroneous impression of
what he tTaft said. The lead
was as follows:
Senator Taft. Republican, of
Ohio, says prevention of a third
world conflict cannot now be ac-
complished without an aggressive
war against Communist China"
This gives the impression that
he advocated a full scale invision
Of China by the American Army,
which is directly contradicted by
the words of the speech.
President Truman had claimed
that the aggressive war against
Korea was justified as means of
preventing World War III. Sena-
tor Taft merely pointed out that
this whole justification for the
war had failed, because the same
principle required a similar ag-
gressive war against Communist
China, a completely impossible
undertaking." "a; sa3f
The dispatch to which the Taft
statement refers alsol quoted the
Senator as saying it seemed ridicu-
lous not to permit raids and in
vasion of Communist China by
Nationalist troops. and adding:
From moral standpoint we
would be wholly pustified in a
complete invasion of China to
punish an unprovoked aggressor.
Practical considerations, of course.
make it impossible and no one
has proposed it,

Taft's speech. which was append
ed to the statement today, also
was carried on some AP wires.

The resolution, as agreed on,
calls for "a complete evaluation

Far East and their relation to
the foreign policies and the mill

Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman
Eof the G. o. F. Policy Commit

taken up in the Senate.
1t would authorize the special
|committee TO expend such funds
as necessary to carry out the in
vestigation. No request for any
specific amount was contained in
the resolution.
Parties Accuse Each Other.
Democrats and Republicans
alike seemed to agree on the neces-
sity for an investigation, but in
ia f1utter of statements they ac-
|cused one another OF playing poll
tics. and sharply disagreed on the
detectives OF such an inquiry.
Senate Democratic Leader Nc
Farland told reporters he does not
care how the investigation is made
"just so the people get the facts"
Other Democrats made it clear
they were ready to defend Presi-
dent Truman's policies and attack
the Republicans for their espousal
of Gen. MacArthur's views that
the fight against communism
should be waged in Asia and not
in Europe.
Speaker Rayburn said Gen.
Macarthur will receive every
courtesy" in his appearance before
Congress.
However, Representative Shafer,
Republican, of Michigan, predicted
the general would become a target
for "a barrage Of propaganda. in
nuendo, smear and denunciation."
Senator Millikin of Colorado.
the chairman of the conference of
all Senate Republicans, said the
Republicans will not set them
selves up as sponsors of Gen.
MacArthur's appearances.
Aimed at Fundamental Issues.
Senator Brewster, Republican,
OF Maine said the congressional
inquiry should be aimed at fun
damental issues of policy
This is not a question of Tru-
man versus Macarthur" he added.
1T is a question of how we got
into the mess we are in in Korea. /"
On the other hand, Senator
Mcmahon. Democrat. Of Connecti-
cut. said:.
THE proposal to make an all
out war on China is one that
should be carefully examined. .
