Acheson Says He Urged Policy
OF Caution in Macarthur Case

Secretary of State Acheson tes-
titled yesterday that in the White
House discussions on Gen. Mac
iArthur's dismissal he urged "the
most careful possible thought or
the part of everybody"
President Truman recently told
a news conference that Mr.. Ache
son had warned the firing of Gen
Macarthur would raise big po-
tlitical fuss. The Secretary was
right, the President added.
| Mr.. Acheson said he felt the
issues involved in the decision
were "of the greatest Importance.
They had to do" he said, with
the whole conduct of the Govern
Iment under the Constitution; they
involved the power of the Presi-
dent, both as the President of the
United States and as the Com
mander- in Chief of our forces, anc
Jas the chief of state of the United
Nations command.
THE issues involved had to de
with questions of war or peace

Hong Kong Observers
Doubt That Peiping
Will Make Peace Bid
BY the Associated Press

HONG KONG, June 2.-Those
who watch and listen to the Red
China show from this British
crown colony are skeptical that
any peace feelers will come from
Peiping.
The feelers might come from
Moscow, but not Peiping. Com
munist China might be thoroughly
licked, but the way it is situated
it does not have to go through
the face-loser or peace feelers.
Communist China could simply
call its volunteers" back behind
the Ya1u River boundary into
Manchuria and sit.
The question of whether the
Chinese Reds will continue to
souander men in Korea finds no
answer in an examination OF Com
munist tactics in the Chinese civil
war.

power which they never faced be-
fore but which they thought they
understood. They have to fight
in a limited space in Korea. In
China they had plenty of room to
maneuver.
They are also up against skill
ed adversary who keeps in contact
and left jabs them silly. When the
Chinese Reds lash out, the foe
rolls with the punch, then strikes
devastating counterpunches.
In brief, the Chinese Com
munists who got little swelled-
headed about their armies are
finding them not so good on a
limited front against good
enemy.
Observers here who watched the
China civil war do not see what
sthe Reds can do except to keep
on attacking, even though they
know it won't pay off unless
Russia increases its help enor-
mously.

Another case cited here as in

later was raised to 10 years.

been relatively little travel be-

Long before history was recorded
the Persians discovered sugar cane
and made sweetmeats an impor-
tant part of their New Year celebra-
ton. These pagan Persians also
made human sacrifices on the eve
of the New Year in the belief that
their barren fields would be ferti-
lized by the gods.
In ancient China it was custom
to make visits shortly after the New
Year had begun. Hilarity reigned
supreme in old India and Babylon,
where celebration of the first day of
New Year was a very wild affair.
The superstitious, people believed
that during their frolicsome celebra-
tons the pagan gods were asleep,
else conveniently away from home.
The Japanese always used holly
for decorations at New Years. 1t is
an old belief that "the prick of the
thorns on the leaves would scare
away devils" The emperor's first

Year morning, was called "reli-

Smart children in Belgium gather

New Years eve, and then lock the
elders in their rooms on New Years
morning, refusing to release them
until promised a portion of sweets.

Old Irish Celebration
Was Boxing the Coke

Old Erin had one of the most
unusual New Years day celebra-
tons to be found anywhere. Called
baking the cake, it was a favorite
with Irish peasants.
Proud husbands would invite all
their friends over to participate in
the ceremony and partake Of the
"gude woman's baking"
When the cake was fully prepared,
the eldest son took it and hurled it
with all his force against the door.
Everyone scrambled to pick up the
pieces, for, according to the super.
stition, he who picked up the first
fragment to touch the floor would
have home and a New Years
cake to share the next year.

American historians credit George
Washington with starting the custom
of receiving friends, or holding
"open house. on New Years day.
In the year 1890 New York was
the seat of the government and
President Washington made prac-
tice Of opening the doors of the
presidential mansion for a reception
on each New Years day. Home and
foreign diplomats, and ordinary citi-
zens as well, visited.
Washington was said to have ex-
pressed the hope that the observ-
ance might continue through the
years. His wish was granted, for it
il stu custom at the White House.
