MIDWEST I5 EASY BOMB
 TARGET NOW

7. CHICAGO, May II --Rt-Adm. William H. P. Blandy, retired, says the Midwest would be an easier atom bomb target for Russian pilots than eastern cities.
 He said in talk prepared for the executives club that east coast cities are better protected by potential fighter interception from outlying bases than Midwest cities. He said.
 The middle west could be reach ed over the North Polar regions and Canada, vast portions of which are unprotected wasteland. By such a route, Murmansk is only $500 miles from Chicago, whereas souped up B-29, such as the Russians are known to have. can do 4,400 miles. ,"

REVEAL NOTE TRUMAN SENT
 MatARTHUR

WASHINGTON. May II -- tR - President Truman told Gen. Douglas Macarthur last Jan 13 that Korean war policy must be designed to keep the support of Allies whom we would desperately need" in case Of war with Russia,
 This was contained in a message sent by the President as follow up to set of 16 possible courses of action the Joint Chiefs of Staff had dispatched to MacArthur the previ- ous day.
 The text of the Presidents mes sage, in paraphrased form, was read by Secretary of Defense Marshall to Senate committees inquiring into MacArthur's dismissal as Far East ern commander.
 At the outset, the President said his telegram was not to be taken in any sense as a directive" He added that tits purpose is to give you something of what is in our minds regarding the political fac- tors"
 Consolidation LIN
 At one place the Presidential message read:
 Our courses of action at this time should be such as to consoh- date the great majority of the United Nations. This majority IS not r.erely part of the organiza- ton but is also the nations whom we would desperately need to count on as Allies in the event the Soviet Union moves against us'
 Sen. Hickenlooper had sugge5teti the United States was risking c,eSh wifi p,iss' :. s'''; s'''s' 'sSs'l's to a western European defense 1orce' He wanted to know why "a similar calculated risk" was refused III the Far East = meaning why not adopt the Macarthur program of step- ping up the war against Chlna!
 Press TOT McSsdbS
 Since Marshall first referred earl fer in the hearings to the Presl- dents Jan. 13 message, some mem bers of the Senate committees hao pressed to get the text.
 They contended the communlca- tion was of major importance in re- lation to the question Of how mucl information was given to MacAr- thur as to the thinking and decisions of Washington policy makers
 The President told Macarthur that "in the worst case. 1t wouio be important that if we must with- draw from Korea, it is clear to the world that that course IS 1orceo upon us by military necessity anu that we shall not accept the result politically or militarily until the ag- pression has been rectified.'
 Then Mir. Truman said:
 "In reaching final decision about Korea. I shall have to give con stant thought to the man threat from the Soviet Union and to the need for rapid expansion of our Armed Forces to meet this danger.
 Thanks MacArthur
 In concluding his message, MT. Truman told Macarthur:
 "The entire nation is grateful TOT VOLT splendid leadership in the diff ficult struggle in Korea and for the superb performance of your forces under the most difficult circum- stances"
 Mir Truman's communication to Macarthur also said:

 AP Correspondent Robert Eunson, in a report from 9th Army head quarters, said:
