RED PRICE
 GOING TO
 BE BLOODY
Supreme Com m ander Ridgway Has Confidence
 ir LIN Korean Forces
By Associated Press

Supreme Commander It. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway said today the Communist Chinese twill continue to pay the bloody price they've been paying" in the Korean war.
 Returning from front line visit to his troops, Ridgway said his men have complete confidence, com- plete self-assurance in their ability to handle anything that's thrown at them"
 He scoffed at "the empty Com munist promises to throw us out of Korea and destroy the LIN Army.
 50 far, the only things they've succeeded in destroying are a few tens of thousands more of their own men, and so far as I can see they're going to continue to do that con- tinue to pay the bloody price they've been paying" the new supreme commander declared
 He spoke as United Nations planes and tank patrols raided Communist buildup areas.
 Red Regrouping
 The fighting fronts were relative ly quiet but behind the safety of distant hills the Chinese were re- grouping and rearming their forces for another blow in the hope of driving LIN forces from Korea.
 Allied planes reported enemy trucks were rolling southward by the thousands. They are feeding the buildur areas with new equipment and lpp,irs ..erpis2 Allied yous.ei- the-clock bombing missions.
 During the day the Communists lost 1 TAO men in killed and wounded.
 New endorsements began to ar rive for LIN forces. The vanguard Of the Canadian 18th Infantry regi- ment landed at Pusan Brigadier John M Rockingham said his men were willing and anxious to do the job" and eager to get into frontline fighting.

DRAFT CALL 10000; SMALLEST
 SINCE SEPTEMBER

WASHINGTON, May - B - The Army today issued draft call for 10000 men in June.
 This is the smallest number in any monthly call since the draft was resumed last September. Since that time, total of 550,000 men have been drafted or placed on call for Army duty.
 The Army got 80,000 men in each of the first three months of this year. Thereafter, the April draft was halved to 10000 and the May quota was reduced from 60,oo0 to 40 GOO.
 The Army said the cutbacks were made because of the greater num- Der of men volunteering for service and the lower r-than-expected casual ties in Korea,

PRESIDENT INSISTS HE
 WAS RIGHT
Truman Says MdlAhhur' $ Testimony Bringing
 Out New Points

WASHINGTON. May 4 = R = Harry Truman = tight-lipped, watchfully waiting says he's sure the Senate hearings will prove he was right and Gen. Macarthur was wrong.
 And he came pretty close yester- day to saying MacArthur told Sem ate investigators something that wasn't true.
 The Presidents weekly news con- ference ran a poor second. in the headline count, to MacArthur's hard-punching testimony. given at the same time at the other end of town.
 Macarthur said, among many other things, that the Central In- telligence Agency thought there was 'very little chance" last November of the Chinese Communists enter ing the Korean war. ct was in Mo- vember that they did enter the war)
 Asked about this. MT. Truman said (A) the CHA didn't make any such report to him, and CD Mac Arthur didn't even allow the CA to operate in his command until re- gently.
 The CHA is the nations top-level intelligence agency. MT. Truman said it's director, Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, made a special flight to Tokyo and persuaded Macarthur to make use of it.
 The President said MacArthur convinced him at their Wake Island conference in october that the Chi nese Reds were not going to strike. When they did strike, he said, he was more sorry than surprised. But Macarthur, he said, was very much surprised.
 Getting away from the MacArthur controversy briefly, MT. Truman said William O'Dwyer. ambassador to Mexico, still has his full confi- dence.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
fCopyright. 1851. oy Bell Syndicate. Inc.

tCopyright, 1851. oy Bell Syndicate, lnc. " WASHINGTON = Nine months before the Korean war General Macarthur predicted that the Chi nese Communists could be easily defeated in any major conflict" and remarked that Chiang Kai-Shek "knew nothing about the art of warfare"
 These amazing statements. exact- ly the opposite of what MacArthur now professes to believe, are con- tained in a secret report to Presi- dent Truman, submitted by Con- gressman Charles Deane of North Carolina in September 1949. Deane was head of a Congressional dele gation which called on MacArthur in Tokyo to get his views.
 Deane reported Macarthur as believing that the Chinese Reds were greatly overrated and could be easily defeated in any major con- flict." Also that the "Soviets were powerless to conduct full-scale war on the China mainland"
 But the most remarkable state ment was MacArthur's reference to invasion of the Chinese main- land
 Deane quoted Macarthur direct

 Bomb to Border
 That would have meant the Chi nese Communists, pouring into Korea last fall. could come in for five miles without air attack.
 MacArthur said this first order was changed after he protested vig- orously and he then was allowed to bomb to the border He testified his planes then were permitted to bomb to the middle of the bridges over the river
 Wants Facts Public
 Knowland said that if a Pentagon message dealing with this could not be made public in it's original word ing. it ought to be paraphrased and given to newsmen.
 Knowland said he wants to ex- plore the matter with the Depart ment of Defense.
 MacArthur, who returned to New York after yesterdays session with the senators, flew back this morning and took his place in the witness chair at 9:34 am. The 71-year-old general showed no signs of fatigue from the stren- uous day he put in on Thursday when for five hours he poured out, often in emotional terms, his bitter disagreement with the Truman ad- ministration policies on the Korean war.

 On his own views, MacArthur ast
