targets. But there was no reac-

Senator Hunt, Democrat, OF
Wyoming said he felt there should
be an extraordinary session of the
Armed Services Committee to get
Gen. MacArthur's views, on end
ing the war.
Senator Stennis, Democrat. of
Mississippi also liked the idea.
But in Atlanta Senator Russell,
Democrat, of Georgia, chairman

In the more heated area,
there were cries of arrogant" and
"slanderous" from the G. o. P.
side, as the President drew new
fire after his news conference
comment yesterday.
Truman Doubts Plan.
Mr.. Truman told reporters he
didn't believe Gen. Macarthur
had any new plan for ending the
Korean fighting despite his state
ment before the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers that he
is convinced there is a clear and
definite solution" for the conflict.
The President said the Senate
Armed Services Committee had
heard Gen. Macarthur exhaus-
lively after his removal as Far
Eastern commander in April, 1850.
but nothing new had developed.
He also accused the general of
giving him a 'lot of misinforma-
ton" at their Wake Island meet
ing.
The President fired the general
for advocating tactics the admin
istration said would lead to an
all-out war.
Turning on President-elect Els
enhower, the President used the
term demagoguery in connection
with the Eisenhower trip to the
Korean battlefield.
The President, in his caustic
colloquy. rejected the suggestion
of Senator Watkins, Republican,
of Utah that he call both generals
here for meeting. saying that
nothing would be served by it.
Senator Hunt, however, while
taking no part in the row feels
there is room for exploration.
II would like to see Senator
Russell call either or both gen.
erals to Capitol Hill to brief the
Armed Services Committee. he
told the Associated Press previ-
Iously.
Senator Hunt said he thought

100 Acres Attacked
By Stubborn Blaze in
Large Fairfax Area

Fairfax County's worst forest
fire in recent years burned more
than 100 acres in the Groveton-
'Engleside area yesterday.
More than 800 f1refighters
battled the stubborn blaze for
eight hours before bringing it un-
der control about 6 pm. 1t was
not completely out until near mid
might.
At least two houses Just of
Kings highway and Telegraph
road were threatened at the peak
Iof the blaze. and the residents
were ready to flee. Firemen man.
aged to change the course of the
flames before there was any prop
Ierty damage.
At least three flremen were in
jured or overcome. Thick columns
of smoke were visible 5 miles away
in Alexandria. The bright sun
was clouded for miles around.
Chief Fairfax Fire Warden D
E. Sheads. who was in charge of
the firefghting, said there had
been recurring fires in the same
general area for the past three
days. The outbreak yesterday oc-
Cured near Pole road just off No
| highway at Engleside.
Races Toward Houses.
Spreading westward along a
mile-wide front, the blaze ragged
across the county toward Kings
highway and Telegraph road
where there are a number of
houses. The flames got worse
as the fire ate through an area
inaccessible to fire fighting equip
Iment.
Fire companies from all over
the county were called. Radio
stations broadcast calls for every
available volunteer. Alexandria
sent three companies and Airing
ton County sent two.
Fort Belvoir sent up an obser-
vation plane to spot the direction
of the flames. Four bulldozers,
two belonging to the Army, were
used to block the path of the
blaze.
Mr.. Sheads had flremen set
backfires as the blaze neared
Kings highway.
MIR. Sheads said the timber was
Of no value because the area had
been burned over almost every
year recently.
At the height of the blaze, an
other dangerous fire broke out in
the opposite end of the county
near Centreville. The second fire
burned over approximately five
acres, but Mr.. Sheads said it could
have been a serious blaze because
the territory is heavily wooded.
The area burned is about four
miles west of Centreville.
Mr.. Sheads warned that the
forest fire situation will remain
dangerous in Fairfax County until
there is some rain. The Weather
Bureau said there is no forecast
for rain in the near future. Mr..
Sheads asked residents to be eau
tiouS about burning brush.
