Victor Kendrick.
But Mr.. Kendrick, then an Of

version of the affair, according
to information read into the rec
ord of Senate hearings.
Gen. Marshall testified the en-
ploye. whose name he could not

I'm accordance with accepted

"That is borne out by Mr.. Tru-

A China disunited and torn
by civil strife could not be consid-

for American assistance.
"The public disclosure of some
thing which was common knowl-
edge among American officials and
newsmen in Shanghai-that the

deDenies Macarthur Conflict
With Trumon's Truce Plans
Whitney Also Tskes
Issue With Marshall
Statement on Morale
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. May 10.-Maj.
Gen. Courtney Whitney says his
chief, Gen. Macarthur. saw no
conflict between President Tru-
mans plan for a negotiated peace
in Korea and his own public call
for a battlefield truce.
Defense Secretary Marshall told
a Senate inquiry Tuesday that
Gen. MacArthur's cease-fire sug-
gestion upset the Presidents plan
for a truce.
Gen. Whitney. a personal aide
to the ousted Far Eastern COM
mander. said yesterday:
There was no apparent conflict
between any plans which had been
communicated to Gen. Macarthur
and his call to the Chinese to sit
down to parley in the field"
Gen. Whitney said the Mac
Arthur proposal was a military
action designed "to stop the shoot
ing"
Gen. Whitney also took excep-
ton to Gen. MarshaIl's remark
that morale was damaged by Gen.
MacArthur's emphasis on casual
ties and his hint that such casual
ties were not justified.
Il would be inclined to say the
contrary" Gen. Whitney said at a
news conference. 1.-THE fact that
Gen. Macarthur has had the
courage to call for measures de-
signed to protect his former COM
mand will react favorably on the
morale of the troops. This indeed
seems to have been the case"
The general never bucked es-
tablished administration policy tn
the Far East, Gen. Whitney said.
Called for Definitive Policy.
Gen. Macarthur was not argu-
ing against any policy in effect, :"
his aide added, "as he consistent
ly implemented all policies and
directives to the best of his ability.
What he was calling for was a
definitive policy to fill the policy
vacuum left in the wake of
.China's entry into the war"
Gen. Whitney said it is "a mat
ter of opinion" whether Russian
air and troop strength stationed
near Korea constitutes an often
sive maneuver with danger of
World War II1-as Gen. Marshall
contended in his inquiry testi-
mony.
Gen. Macarthur, Gen. Whitney
said, considers the Soviet forces in
that area as defensive" units.
The aide added that Gen. Mac
Arthur is getting transcripts of
the Defense Secretary's testimony
but "had not read a word of it,"
Instead, Gen. Whitney said, he
will brief Gen. Macarthur on the
Marshall testimony.
Gen. Whitney again brought up
Gen. MacArthur's controversial
letter to House Minority Leader
Martin which. when made public
by the Representative, aroused
the ire of Mr.. Truman.
The letter was mot contrary"
to Defense Department order
that foreign policy statements
must be cleared in Washington,
Gen. Whitney said.

.Ex-Head Asserts CIA
Reports Should Have
Gone 10 Macarthur
By the Asseeiotsd Press

HONOLULU. May 10.-The man
who once headed the Central In
telligence Agency said yesterday
he believed it was Washington's
responsibility to supply Gen. Mac
Arthur any available evidence on
Chinese Red mobilization in Man
Ichuria.
CHA operations have figured in
| the hearings now In progress in
Washington over the removal of
Gen. Macarthur from his com-
mands.
Gen. Macarthur has said Wash
Iington failed to report to him on
the shift OF the Chinese 3rd and
4th Field Armies from China into
Manchuria.
Rear Admiral Roscoe H. Hillen-
koetter. head of CIA from June,
1916, to october l. 1850, said in
an interview that CIA was respon-
'sible for reporting such strategic
intelligence as Chinese troop
movements to Manchuria.
Normal Procedure.
Normal procedure, he said, was
for CIA to report to the President,
the National Security Council and
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It would
be normal for the Joint Chiefs to
advise Gen. Macarthur, he added.
Admiral Hillenkoetter said he
did not remember prior to October
/ any reports of Chinese troop
shifts into Manchuria. And he
added he knew nothing of CIA
operations since Gen. Walter Be-
dell Smith, the present CIA chief,
replaced him.
The Chinese Reds intervened in
Korea in late October.
Admiral Hillenkoetter said CIA
had cordial and effective relations
with Gen. MacArthur's Far East
command up to the time he left
the intelligence post.
Can't Predict Intentions.
President Truman told a news
conference last week that Gen.
Macarthur had denied CIA opera
tions in Tokyo until persuaded by
Gen. Smith. Gen. Macarthur, in
New York, called that tommy
rot"
Admiral Hillenkoetter said CHA
could not be. called on to report
more than the location and esti-
mate of the capabilities of any
Chinese troops in Manchuria.
"To predict the intentions of the
enemy, real or potential, you would
need a crystal ball." he added.

Last Legislative Session
Aided Taxpayers OF Florida,
Says Rep. Bernie c. Papy
COMMENDED BY UNIVERSITY or MIAMI
FOR AID IN GETTING RESEARCH FUNDS

1851 has been the best legis-
lative session for the taxpayers
Of Florida with no new taxes
inaI osed on the citizens and an
actual reduction in one tax, de-
clared State Representative Der
mic c. papy today.
Papy said that after July l a
ten cent cup of coffee or two
nickel candy bars will be tax
free because. of action taken by
the legislature.
Formerly customers had to-
pay a penny tax on any item
over nine cents. The recent le-
giSlativc action starts taxes at II
cents. So now instead of thump-
ing down a penny for ten cent
coffee or roll or soda, you just
pay the 10 cents flat.
Rep. Papy had just received
commentator from the Uniyer-
,;iiv Of Miami when interviewed,
A letter from c. p. Idyll research
associate at the University's Ma
rine Laboratory to Rep. papy

Your interest in the research

Laboratory and your very ma
terisl assistance in obtaining the
appropriation for fisheries work
in the recent meeting of the lc-
eislature is greatly appreciated.
Or. Smith and myself wish to
extend our thanks for your

The new appropriation the Ma
rine laboratory will be able to
increase its usefulness in its
studies.

the Delco. 1t short circuited and
lgnited the boat.
Firemen rushed to the scene at
40 a. m, and put out the blaze,
they thought.
At $50 the alarm sounded
again and the firemen discovered
that the smoldering vessel had
blazed once more.
Today the Capt. Shea is char
red and ruined hulk. To repair it
would cost more than il is worth
said one official of the fish house
near by. Owner of the boat, Her
bert Stein faces almost a COM
plete loss on his vessel. The pilot
house is wrecked completely. The
engine is Quilted. The boat is rest
ing on the bottom of the harbor
rlght now and is rapidly filling
with water.
Shrimpers at the dock stated
that if there were a protective
Jctty over at the harbor, the fire
need never have occurred.
Every time a strong wind
comes up, no matter what the
hour, we have to move our boats.
If Stein hadn't had to move his
boat early this morning, it would
never have caught fire probably. ;"
