Macarthur Says Split Approved

Washington (P)- General Douglas Macarthur said the Joint Chiefs of Staff approved when he split his United Forces last fall in the drive for the -Manchurian border.
 He made the statement while under questioning from Senator McMahon D-Conn), vigorous supporter of Presi- dent Truman's administration position in the far eastern policy row that led to Mac Arthur's dismissal from his commands.
 McMahon brought up Mac Arthur's statement of last fall that his forces were launching a Twin the war" offensive which would have them home by Christmas.
 Macarthur said, "all tacti- cal and strategic movement that I made, had the prior knowledge and approval of the Joint Chiefs of Staff"
 He further stated, it had been my hope that the troops would get home by Christ mas. Meanwhile, a scrap over censorship flared up a. mong the senators questioning Macarthur on his view that the United States should hit directly at Re l China even if it means going it alone.

U. s. Park M an Here

made later this summer on Kodiak Island, the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutian chain is George L. Collins, chief of Alaska Surveys of the U. s. National Park Service.
 Collins spent Wednesday and Thursday with local busi- nessmen and government officials. He is from the Regional Office, San Francisco.
 He has travelled and studied in all parts of Alaska except Kodiak, this being his first visit here. He is directing a survey of the recreation re- sources of the entire Terri tory.
 The ultimate result, he said, is expected to be a re- port and reference work which will identify and clarify the Territory's recreational and cultural values in practical economic terms.
 We use the term recrea- tion in its broadest sense, Collins stated. "Our work will be in the fields of history biology, geology and econo mics carried out in each case as far as necessary to obtain the practical facts."
 The survey is intended to reveal additional ways and means toward obtaining the maximum utility of all A laskan recreation resources and lure more tourists to the territory.
 At the same time we are fully aware of the perish ability of our Alaskan natural resources. Over development, over exploitation, and careless attention to the demands of good conservation are a cons- tant threat here," Collins declared.
 Asked regarding the ideas his office has on Kodiak's tourist industry, Collins re- piled, that while original physical evidences of history unfortunately are soon lost in this climate, the island as the setting and the center of great events during the Rus sian colonial period is of grow ing cultural importance.
 Kodiak" he said, "cer- tainlv is a vital and romantic place name to ever American who has every considered the significance of this region in the story of the Pacific North west. /"
 He implied that a museum hera of the Russian-America n period would be a great tourist attraction and a Mecca for students of history.
