He gained a good knowledge of
conditions in that country.
After the war he was given the
highly important post of deputy
chief of staff in charge of plan
ming, job for which he was
eminently suited.
After Gen. Marshall's return
from his Inflated mission to
China, at a time when a part
OF that country could still be
saved from the Communist grip,
he was sent to Marking to in
vestigate the situation and to
report his findings and recon-
mendationS. He wrote the con-
troversial Wedemeyer report,
which was kept under the lock
and key for nearly two years
because his recommendations
did not dovetail with the views
of certain group in the Gov
ernment. which wanted Chang
Kai-shek and his Nationalists
liquidated and. replaced by the
"agrarian reformers," headed by
the Moscow puppet Mao TIE
tung.
When called to testify before
executive and open sessions of
congressional committees Gen.
Wedemeyer never revealed the
contents of his report. but he
did express views which were at
great variance with those of the
State Department and Gen.
Marshall. his former chief and
patron.
Gen. Wedemeyer was never
officially disciplined. But he was
removed from the position on
the general staff for which he
was eminently qualified, and
was sent to a relatively unim-
portant Army area, where his
chief occupation now is to make
speeches receive VIps and
supervise the training of troops.

Carthy's Milwaukee remarks by
asking if the Wisconsin Senator
had not been misquoted.
Senator Jenner said he had
been asked if Senator Mccarthy
did not mean "benzedrine." which
is stimulant. instead of "bene-
dictine," a lioueur.
Senator Mccarthy replied, Per-
haps I should have used the word,
'benzedrine.' but added that he did
say "benedictine.
The Wisconsin Senator also was
quoted in Milwaukee as making
this statement about the Presi-

Truman Had No Choice,
Mrs. Roosevelt Declares
BY the Associated Press

LONDON. April 14.-Mrs. Flea
nor Roosevelt said today she
thought President Truman had no
option but to remove Gen. Mac
Arthur from his commands.
Il do not think a general should
make policies" Mrs. Roosevelt
told reporters. II think President
Truman did the only thing that
could be done under our consti-
tutional system"
Mrs. Roosevelt arrived by air
from the United States today, en-
route to a meeting of the United
Nations Human Rights Commits
sion in Geneva. She is a United
States delegate to the commission

ministration is flirting with the
dangerous idea that you can make
deal with the Communists" to
end the Korean fighting.
He asserted that the admins
tration's present plans call for
us only to strengthen our friends
in Europe while deserting our
friends in Asia" This, he con-
tinued, indicates that "appease-
ment of communism in Asia is
again the watchword" of the Tru-
man policy.
Attacking the dismissal of Gen.
Macarthur, Mr.. Martin called for
"a complete re-examination of our
foreign and military policies" by
Congress.
1t was a letter to Mr.. Martin
from Gen. Macarthur that
touched off the dismissal of Gen.
Macarthur. In that letter the
Far Eastern commander, differing
with administrative policy, de-
clared the challenge of COM
munism should be accepted in
Asia and not in Europe.
Army Plans Big Welcome.
Just what sort of reception
would be accorded Gen. Mac
Arthur on his arrival here re-
mained to be seen. Unless the
general objects, the Army is plan
ming to welcome him with its ira
ditional f1ourishes for a distin-
guished guest-salute of guns, an
Army band ceremonial troops and
the presence of high-ranking Army
and other officials.
There were indications Gen.
Macarthur, returning in a fight
ing mood, would be willing to
accept such a reception. He has
notified Mayor Elmer E. Robinson
OF San Francisco that he accepts
with pleasure any greeting cere-
monies" San Francisco officials
are planning to meet Gen. Mac
Arthur at the airport outside the
city and escort him to the st.
Francis Hotel, where he plans a
stop-over on his flight to Wash
ington.
In other developments bearing
on the Macarthur issue, Senator
Mccarthy, Republican, of Wis
consin told the Senate he did not
mean to intimate Mr.. Truman
was drunk when he signed the
order firing Gen. Macarthur.
Senator Mccarthy was asked on
the Senate floor yesterday about
his Wednesday night remarks in
Milwaukee, Wis, in which he said
the dismissal of Gen. Macarthur
was "a Communist victory won
with the aid of bourbon and bene-
dictine."
Mccarthy Explains Comment.
Il was not intimating that the
President was intoxicated" Sena-
tor Mccarthy said in reply. He
previously had told reporters he
didn't believe the President was
drunk at the time.
II do not think he is a heavy
drinker," he told the Senate. III
honestly do not think he is.
What was pointing out was
that it was a great mistake for
the President, even after one or
two cocktails. at midnight, under
the influence of the old Yalta
crowd, to sign orders and write
letters.
IF he would wait and write his
letters and sign his orders in the
cold light of day it would be a
great day for this country"
