|0usting Of Macarthur
Won't Hurt President,
Anderson Tells Taft
By J. A. O'Leory

A prediction by Senator Taft,
Republican of Ohio. that the Mac
Arthur dispute will hurt President
Truman's election chances if he
runs next year was challenged to-
day by Senator Anderson. Demo-
crat of New Mexico.
II disagree completely" said
Senator Anderson. Chairman of
the Democratic Senatorial Cam
paign Committee. II suggest that
when the testimony is all in at the
Senate hearings on that matter,
there may be many Republicans
who will change their minds about
the political effect"
Senator Anderson added that,
doing ones duty never has been
a political liability"

Mr.. Taft started the discus

|questioners on the NBC Meet
The Press" program he thinks
the dismissal of Gen. Macarthur
will have an exceedingly ad-
verse" effect on Mr.. Truman's
political prospects If he seeks re
election next year.
Although Senator Taft'S name
is mentioned frequently in con-
nection with the Republican
nomination, he declined to say
whether he will be a candidate
in 1952~IHe denied having author

Sidesteps Candidate Question.
The Ohioan also sidestepped
question as to which Democrat he
would prefer to run against If he
became the Republican standard
bearer. He said he has a rule
against discussing potential can
didates in either party.
President Truman indicated last
week he has made up his mind
about next year. but that this is
not the time for him to speak
out. Senator Anderson said the
President has not revealed the
decision to him. The New Mexico
Democrat recalled, however, that
he predicted in January. 1949,
that Mr.. Truman would be re-
elected in 1852 and that nothing
has happened "to change my mind
a particle"

|Symington Scrutinizes
SIG Million RFC Loan
To B. & 0. in 1943

A new look at an old loan was
underway at the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. today as Admins
traitor w. Stuart Symington sought
to determine whether there is
anything hot" about 1943 trans
action with the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad.
The loan on which $76 million
is still outstanding has been men
toned or attacked frequently. At
recent hearings of the Senate sub
committee investigating influence
and favoritism in RFC, it was
blasted frequently by Senator To-
hey, Republican, of New Hamp-
shire.
But that subcommittee, headed
by Senator Fulbright, Democrat,
of Arkansas, made no investiga-
ton into the loan at that time
and plans none. An official said
subcommittee action along that
line is unlikely. for the present at
least, because RFC itself is explor-
ing the matter again. Moreover,
he said, the B. & o. loan was the
subject of exhaustive congress
Sional hearings a few years ago.
Mr.. Symington has requested
the Justice Department to study
legal aspects of the loan. He also
might have an attorney not con-
nected with the Government make
an independent study of the loan.

Reds Guns, Not jets,
Take Heaviest Toll Of
III. ). Planes in Korea
Ry Elton c. Eax

Assoeiotsd Press Military Affoirs Reporter
Modern, electronically aimed
lanti-aircraft guns-and not the
Spectacular Russian designed MIG
lis jet f1ghters-are taking the
heaviest toll of American planes
in the Korean war.
OF the more than 200 United
States Air Force planes lost to
enemy action in II months of war
the great majority has been
|downed by fire from the ground
Everything ranging from rifle fire
to heavy flax. Because the Air
Force guards such details, the pro-
portion of aircraft lost to fax and
to enemy planes may not be stated
The Reds ground gunners, using
radar directed weapons, have hit
B-29 bombers at attitudes above
20, 900 feet in air raids during re-
cent weeks.
Presumed to Be Copied.
This radar equipment. like the
planes the Chinese and North
Korean forces use. is presumed
of Russian manufacture and much
of it probably was copied from
the substantial amounts of radar
equipment given the Soviets by
the United States and Britain
during World War II, when the
three were allies.
The quality of Communist anti
aircraft work raises a question,
like that involving the enemy jet
planes, about who operates the
adar-controfed guns. Highly
skilled technicians. not usually
found among the peasant soldiers
of Asia. are needed to operate and
keep radar aiming equipment in
repair.
Information reaching here indi-
Gates that radar- directed flax
batteries are not merely isolated
Iaffairs, spotted around at strategic
points. One North Korean tar
get city. which air force bombers
visit frequently, has several score
such batteries ringing the city.
Similar, although presumably
weaker, defenses are found at
North Korean airfields which the
enemy is attempting to keep in
operation. although they are
under almost daily attack by
United Nations planes.
Moreover, there is belief that
the big Communist China airfields
in Manchuria-and elsewhere in
IChina-have the same modern
flax protection. It is at those
fields that the potentially dam
gerous Chinese Red air force is
baSed-the MICS which make
their brief, testing sorties near
the Yalu River, and presumably
two-engined bombers capable of
hitting United Nations positions
anywhere in South Korea or even
in Japan.

Diplomatic officials said today
a 14-nation Korean truce state
ment prepared in March could
still serve as an approach u
negotiations if the Chinese and
Korean Reds are interested.
Whether the terms for peace
now would be the same as those
which the United Nations allies
with troops in Korea had decided
on for last March, however, is
another question. Authorities said
lit could not be answered without
further review of the situation
which evidently would be under
taken if there was reason to think
the Reds were interested in open
ing talks.
Meanwhile the military high
command is completing a new
directive to Gen. Matthew 3

mum pressure on Red forces i

sonable settlement promptly.

Dollar Lines Reject
Sawyer Proposal 10
Sell Shipping Firm
By Robert K. Welsh

Secretary of Commerce Saw
yer's proposal for public sale of the
American President Lines seemed
stranded today by refusal of the
Dollar shipping interests to agree
to such a move in their fight for
stock control of the company.
On the eve of possible ruling
by 9he Supreme Court on one
phase of the long legal battle, Sec
retary Sawyer suggested that pro-
ceeds of a sale of the $68 million
ship line to the highest bidder be
held on deposit.
AS soon as the courts made a
final determination the money
from the sale would go either to
the Dollar group or the Govern
ment, he wrote to r. Stanley
Dollar yesterday.
"Offhand, I don't see what that
does" Mr.. Dollar said in San
Francisco. ANY bidder would be
Influenced by the clouded title.
What we want is return Of our
stock and we've already got
decision on that"
Dispute Started in 1898.
The Government has been
operating the President Lines as
a result of a disputed transaction
that goes back to 1888. In re-
turn for Government loans at
that time sthe Dollar interests
turned over 80 per cent of the
stock to the old Maritime Com
mission. The Dollar group con-
tended this was a pledge for the
loan The Government regarded
it as outright surrender of the
stock
The proposal for sale of the
line, Commerce Department OFF,
cials explained today, has a
precedent because the Govern
ment sought to dispose OF the
line as long ago as 1945. The
Dollar interests then began court
action in an effort to regain the
stock.
Secretary Sawyer's letter yester-
day made clear that the United
States still believes it is entitled
to the stock. With the approval OF
President Truman, he said. he has
explored the possibility of getting
the Government out of the ship
ping business"
Litigation Could Continue.
Among reasons for wanting to-
sell the line, he explained. was to-
.'restore the morale of the en-
ployes who operate the line and
are disturbed by the uncertainty
caused by the present litigation. u
This program proposed sale)
would preserve the rights OF EACH
party to litigate this matter to al
conclusion he stated, but will
free the practical business opera
ton from the annoyance, burden
and handicap of the litigation.
"It will demonstrate the sim
cerity of what l have stated on
several occasions, that the Gov
eminent has no desire to con-
tinue to operate this line or. as
some have claimed, to national
ize shipping. and would dissolve
or eliminate the confusion in the
public mind which arises from a
mixture of the operating with the
litigating considerations"
