LONDON. April 12.-The re-
moval of Gen. Macarthur from
his high command in Tokyo
won European acclaim on both
sides of the Iron Curtain today
for different reasons.
Although there was sprin-
king of minority opinion, most
western press comment followed
these general lines:
/. The firing of the general
may improve chances of a nego-
tiated peace in Korea.
2. His persistent forays into the
political field. traditionally a
civilian province, left President
Truman no choice.
The few dissenters took the
view that the action will be in
Iterpreted by Communist aggres-
sors as a sign that western will
to resist is weakening.
Communists Hail Action.
The Communist press hailed
i the dismissal as great victory
for the Red peace" campaign.
But up to midday, the Peiping
government of Communist China
had still to be heard from. Moscow
papers gave no clue to the Krem-
Inns reception of the big news
publishing only a brief announce
ment without comment.
London's liberal middle f-the-
road News Chronicle took this line
echoed in many newspapers OF
Western Europe:
THE United Nations fighting in
Korea will regret the loss OF Mac
Arthur's military qualities. But
cessation of his forays into politics
will certainly make for easier re-
lationships among them =.
"The change in command may
itself encourage the Chinese to
negotiate. The United Nations
should be prepared to make the
most of any such possibility"
The Laborite Daily Herald de-
|clared:
Final authority must rest with
the elected leaders of the people
1t appears that Macarthur held a
somewhat different view of his po-
tsition."
London's influential Times laud-
ed the Presidents courage with
these words:
"Once again the quiet-n1annered
man from Missouri, the unasSum-
ing civilian who is always be-
Titled by his critics at home. has
cut his way through a grave crisis
by a decisive act of political
courage"
The Conservative Daily Mail
paid tribute to Gen. MacArthur's
war record and success as pro
consul" of occupied Japan, but
commented:
His personal defects have con-
tributed to his downfall. One col
league has said of him: He was
arrogant from the age of g. This
arrogance led to pronouncements
which could not be tolerated by
democratic governments"
The Independent Daily Express
however, held that outside the
Kremlin, no one can view with
satisfaction the sacking of Mac
Arthur. Soldiers of his brilliance
can i'll be spared"
Defeat Seen for Imperialism.
In Rome, the Communist
L'Unita described the dismissal as
a defeat of imperialism" and a
victory for the partisans of
peace" ~

In Prague the Communist Party
organ Rude Pravo said "Ameri-
can-British imperialists" have
been forced to sacrifice" Mac
Arthur, but asserted:
plain people see indeed Mac
Arthur is dismissed but they know
at the same time that what they
hate Macarthur for is not re-

future to give whatever version it
chose about the dismissal.
The Red Korean radio an

tive defeats and his conflicts with

touched off the explosion. Out

AT NIGHT
by Cyril creque

Our dear sentinel, Night,
In her plain black and white,
Saw a wee flash grow to a flare;
When it reached the dark dome
Where the stars make their home
It spread a grim radiance there.
From the gluttonous gaze
OF timbers ablaze
The twinklers retired with dread;
Loud chatter on heels,
Commotion on wheels,
Reused sleep in alarm from her
bed.
Like a huge crimson flower
The flames glowed an hour
Before CONSERVATION was slain;
Destruction sighed
AS the last ember died
Now only sad symbols remain.

 The Huskies, riding high on a three game win streak, put theii victory skein ons the block when they tangle with undefeated Imper- ials. The Imps, preseason favorites for the league championship, have an even stronger club than last year with the addition of Gary Bach, former Huskie star.
 Douglas wins have, so far, beer at the expense of the lesser teams in the league and the Imperials are the first of the top teams which will play the Huskies during the first half of the season.
 The second game will pit two winless teams, the ARC and the Coast Guard, together. The game should be a toss-up with possible edge going to the Road Commission

 The AP bureau chief in Tokyo Robert Eunson, has filed a copy of an order he got from a source considered to be extremely reliable The order is said to have been read to at least one battalion November 23 and signed by the Commander of the First Army Corps in Korea.
 Presumably similar orders went to other Allied forces.
 The order says there was no ac- tual cease fire, but that Allied policy would be to avoid casualties. main- taining present positions and flr- ing only in self defense. Patrols would seek information only, anc raids were barred.
