"TIDE AND TIME" - Colonel
Edgar S. Slayer, Rehoboth Beach,
president of the Delaware Volun-
teer Firemen's Association, paid an
official visit to a meeting Of the
Kent County Volunteer Firemen's
Association on last Wednesday
night at South Bowers and had for
himself a brand new sort Of ex-
perience.
Colonel Slayer was maroOned by
a high tide as he watched with envy
most Of the delegates to the assoc
citation cross the creek by boat to
North Bowers on the other side Of
the stream, get in their automo-
biles, and drive off unhindered BY
high water.
He had some consolation. how
ever, in the company of six others
in the same plight. The meeting
ended about 10 p. m. and it was not
until 1880 o'clock that Colonel
Slayer was able to venture forth
in his automobile, and even then
the water was up to the hub caps
Colonel Slayer recalled talk Of an
expected high tide but had passed
1t off as a bit of joshing. Every once
IN a while, he said he learned, the
narrow road at South Bowers IS
inundated by high tides. He was
guided out the road by truck mr.,
III the road became visible.

THE CAPTAIN TELLS OFF
 THE GENERAL

The Truman administrations foreign policy has not only cost this nation the respect of much of the rest of the world but has, to date, resulted in more than 57OOO casualties in the Korean fiasco And the 38th parallel stop-light may weh double that figure as American troops continue to wage war they are forbidden to win.
 A Commander in Chief of our armed forces, we accept without question the Presidents right to assign and relieve his subordinates his judgment directs The customs of service, however demand that the exercise of this authority be accompanied by discretion and dignity. And MT. Truman has used neither ln his removal of General MacArthur.
 That General MacArthur disagreed in policy with his Commander in Chief was sufficient for his

 Taxi Antitrust Case

ANCHORAGE Alaska, April l4- R-A government rebuttal witness told a Federal District Court Jury here yesterday that cab drivers on trial for violation of antitrust laws had not been told by him what fares they could charge.
 The witness was Capt. William l. Sauls, Jr., of the 39th Air Police squadron. Capt. Sauls, called by the government after the defense had rested it's case, said he couldn't tell the drivers what to charge as he had no such authority.
 Defense witnesses had testified earlier that military authorities dlc- tated what rates to charge.
 Capt. Sauls was followed to the stand by Donald R. Wilson, former city manager of Anchorage and now district engineer for the Alaska Public Works at Juneau. Wilson said he had no personal knowledge of the cab drivers evere filing rates with the city council while he was city manager.
 Additional rebuttal witnesses and closing arguments are expected to extend the trial until next We'd nesday or Thursday. It enters It's third week Monday.

Day after MacArthur was re- lieyed, however, Truman received a call from ex-Congressman Maury Maverick of Texas, who congratu- lated him.
 What you have done will make sure that my grandchildren will be free and that civilian government will continue in the United States. Maverick said.
 The President was neither cocky nor apologetic. He looked little sad, as if he had made terrific ally hard decision and knew that a terrible storm was going to break over his head.
 ssThank you, Maury,' he replied. And he wept just little. T do my best. I have to follow the con- stitution"
 Truman went on to tell how hard he had tried to cooperate with Macarthur, how he had flown across the Pacific to meet him on Wake Island.
 You will never know how hard I tried" he said
 MacArthur's Grand Strategy
 General MacArthur'S grand strategy for China has never been spelled out in detail to the public, but it has been argued back and forth repeatedly with Army chief of staff Gen. Joe Collins and Adm. Forrest Sherman during their trips to Tokyo. Here is what it ho-ls down to:
 1. A mighty U. s. air strike against Chinese bases in Manchuria where Chinese reserves do their regrouping; also against the Muk- den arsenal which sends arms to Korea.
 2. A U. s. air and sea lombard ment of the China coast. This would include U. s. battleship bombardments of Chinas big coas- tai cities, such as Shanghai and TientSin.
 3. Chiang Kai-shek's troops to be armed by the United States and landed on the Chinese mainland in major invasion.
 4. Simultaneously an all-out U. N attack in Korea, with additional troops sent from the United States.
 When Macarthur has been re- minded that some U. N allies, such as Great Britain, might back out of such war, Mac has said in eff feet: Let 'em back out" He be- lieved the United States could prosecute the war just as well alone
 When MacArthur has been warn ed about the danger of Russia $ coming in, under her mutual-as- sistance pact with China, he ar gued that Russia is only bluffing. MacArthur's intelligence showed 15 Red Army divisions in Siberia, but he continued to maintain that Moscow would not move.

reassignment and no soldier, including the General would disagree. The cavalier treatment accorded the General is another story.
 Military men of all nations will be critical of the fact that General MacArthur was subjected to sum- mary dismissal coupled with public rebuke They will be critical, knowing that MT. Truman, an ex- artillery officer knew better.

Bradley Gets Hot

Gen. Omar Bradley chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and most mild-mannered man, was hottest under the collar against MacArth- UT. He complained to colleagues that MacArthur's constant so.nd- ing-off about war with China was undercutting our whole defense plan in Europe and making Gen. eral Eisenhower work three times as difficult.
 Adm. Forrest Sherman, chief of Naval operations, and reported by some as favoring MacArthur's strategy against China. actually threw his weight behind Bradley Though MacArthur's tactics inclu- ded Naval operation against Chi na, Admiral Sherman argued that we can't afford to get involved in war with China, and that if you go into China just a little bit-aS in bombing bases-you have to be ready to go in all the way.
 Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg of the air forces and Gen. Joe Collins Army Chief of Staff, concurred.
 Only military man who dragged his feet on MacArthur's buster was Secretary of Defense Marshall, who has known MacArthur long time is 70 years old against Macarthur s Fl, and who was in France as a World War I captain when Mac Arthur was a Brigadier General.

Ridgway Can Hold

One highly significant exchange of information made between the Pentagon and Lieut.. Gen. Matthew Ridgway in Tokyo was cable from Ridgway stating that no mat ter what happened, his troops could hold out for 50 days. Regard less of what was thrown at him, Ridgway informed the joint chiefs of staff, he could hold for two months.
 This cable was in reply to White House fears that following Mac Arthur's removal, there might be Chinese attack and 2 series oi American defeats for which Tru- man, having removed the supreme commander would get the blame.

so SIMPLE

Charles Luckman atter-day Horatio Alger type, who once earned $300OO0 year salary has started at the bottom again at the age of fl. As an architect he now is doing what he wants to do.
 It is good feeling sorry for the former head or the Lever Brothers Soap Co.'S American branch. He is doing all right in his profession and says he is resting at night, for the first time in 12 years, without the aid of sleeping pills He intended originally to be an architect-trained for it, as matter ot fact-but got tracked into the soap business The architectural firm for which he works in California has about S6O million worth of back orders. That's the reason we feel that he must be doing pretty well
 We bring up the story of MT. Luckman because of recent Eastern column. The question in 1t involved the choice between fondness for work and income Two of her people declared for fondness; the third trying to make the best of two impossible worlds play ec it both ways-as MT. Luckman has done The lat ers formula appears to be the ticket You spend the first 40 years of your life working up to $3o0,0oo year salary. If you provident' you can lay py after taxes a few thousand month as sort of cushion. Then you do what you want It's all so terribly simple-except getting that first s3000Oo.

without notifying Washington, ls- sued the statement himself.
 So when Secretary Pace called from Tokyo Tuesday night intima- ting that Macarthur might rush into print again, the President called Secretary of State Acheson and Deputy Undersecretary Dean Rusk to the White House where they prepared the Macarthur press release.
 Prior to that, late on Monday afternoon the joint chiefs of staff held a highly secret session at which there was unanimous senJi- ment that MacArthur must go.

President Truman's usual peppery remarks have not been in evidence during the Macarthur controversy not even to his personal advisers. The nearest he came to pepper was at last weeks cabinet meet ing, just after ex-speaker Joe Mar tin released the MacArthur letter.

Forward Cautiously
AS Rail Shares Lead
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Stock
prices edged cautiously forward
today under leadership of the rail-
road shares.
Despite trading pace that was
around the best of the week, little
buying urgency appeared. Most
gains were limited to less than q
dollar a share. and some issues
failed to hold their initial ad-
vances.
Joining the carriers on the up
side were selected steels, which
had been backward in the face of
a general rise Thursday, farm i'm
iplements, rubbers and some copper
and oil stocks.
Wall Street refused to become
excited over the Russian an
nouncement they would join in
disarmament talks. In the current
atmosphere of uncertain interna-
Itional trends. most traders are in
clined to wait for something more
specific before altering investment
positions.
Leading the rails in the advance
were Northern Pacific (Which

Studebaker was narrowly lowe,
after directors ordered a 75-cent
dividend bringing total payments

bit after its management notified
stockholders that common divi.

will be tailored to earnings rather
than being paid out of surplus as
in the past few years.
