Macarthur Calls Truman
Inaccurate, Misleading"
In Far East Statement

NEW YORK, (P)-Gen. Doug
las MacArthur's description of a
statement by President Truman
as inaccurate and misleading"
today stimulated anew the con-
troversy around the generals
custer as Far East commander.
Macarthur, in statement is
sued here last night, took issue
with a reported comment by Tru-
man that he relieved Macarthur
because the general wanted to
involve us in about war in the
Far East"
In Washington last night, White
House Press Secretary Tubby
said Truman would have no COM
ment on the Macarthur state
ment. Tubby said the President
made his statement and is stick
ing by it."
MacArthur'S statement said in
full:
president Truman'S staement
Saturday, as reported in the press
that I wanted to involve us in
about war in the Far East is
inaccurate and misleading.
MY purpose and desire was
not to extend the war but only
to end it. At that time, this could
have been accomplished with
only a fraction of the approx
mately 10000 American battle
casualties which have since re-
suited. Actually the longer it
lasts the greater the chance of its
spreading. How anyone could use
such a bloody drama as a means
of self-glorification is quite be-

ROcketeers Nav
Soon Fire Missile
Past Eartll's Pull
BY ELTON c. FAY
Military Affairs Reporter

WASHINGTON, up ~ Ameri-
can rocket experts and military
scientists are moving closer to
the time when they can fire a
missile so high it will never re-
turn to earth
The latest hint of this step
toward the eventual development
of an experimental satellite to
move around the earth as does
the moon came in recent adj
dress by Secretary of the Air
Force Finletter
The Secretary said he foresees
the development Of rocket en-
gines producing 100000 pounds
Of thrust. With such a propelling
force, he estimated, speed of
10000 miles an hour will be
reached. The attitudes reached by
such rockets twill, Of course, take
them out into space" he added.
In less than 10 years, Ameri-
can missile experts have added
1000 miles an hour to the speed
of such big rockets as the V-2s
created by Germans in World
War II.
Finletter's estimate Of the speed
of a rocket with a 500,000-pound
thrust was somewhat under the
$4,000 miles an hour which many
scientists estimate will be re-
quired to accelerate a rocket to
the point where momentum will
carry it across the boundary of
earth's gravity.
American experts already have
calculated the exact height and
astronomical position to which
they would direct the rocket to
start it moving around the earth.
Some speculate on an altitude of
about 1000 miles.

Secty. Sawyer
Predicts Good
Business In 1853

WASHINGTON, up - Secre-
tary of Commerce Sawyer and a
team of government and private
economists predict good business
in the new year, possible down
turn in 1854 and a sharp econ
omic test in 1855.
The economy has strong built
in safeguards against depression
in the coming years, Sawyer said,
expressing the view that the chief
peril, as defense spending Stacks
off, is fear and uncertainty, not
economic weakness.
'The situation is sound" Saw
year said in a personal preface
to the 10000 word report on
markets after the defense ex-
pansion."
It predicted defense spending
will reach peak of 55 to so
billion dollars late in 1858, will
run at peak levels through 1854
and will fall off in 1855 to so
to SIS billions. Defense expendi-
lures would then go down toward
a more or less permanent level
somewhere between 40 and so
billion dollars a year, it said.
Meanwhile, it said, spendable
income may go up Z per cent.

ia Americans Killed
During Xmas Weekend
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Accidents killed TIA Americans
during the four-day Christmas
weekend. Included in that num-
Der were 533 who died in traffic
mishaps. Neither figure repre-
scented a record, nor did the traf-
fic fatalities for the 102-hour per-
iod between pm. Wednesday
and midnight Sunday come up to
the National Safety Councils pre-
holiday estimate of $50.
Bloody as the slaughter on the
streets and highway was, it did
not equal the 555 killed during a
similar Christmas weekend in
1886. The all-time record for all
accidental deaths during four
day Christmas holiday period,
789, was set last year.
Safety Council statistics for the
first II months of 1852 showed
the traffic accident death rate
was 1O2 every "a hours. This,
however, included victims who

May, Al, served Six years and
eight months of a 10-year SEN
tence.
Where he went was not known
All that British officials would
say is that May is now free
man-as free as any other who
has paid his lawful debt to So
ciety - that is, has served his
time.
Other atomic traitors to the
West have not been so fortunate.

American atomic spies, are sched-
uled to die in the electric chair
at Sing Sing Prison the week of
Jan. IL. Klaus Fuchs, another
British scientist, is serving a IA
year sentence passed in 1850.
May is not married. He has few
relatives. British newspapers have
expressed fear he will find a way
of getting out of Britain in secret
and crossing over to an Iron
Curtain country. He has as much
freedom to move as any tourist.
The brilliant young physicist,
who was trusted member Of the
wartime u. S. Canadian-British
atomic program, has never ex-
pressed any sorrow for his trail
torous actions. He said he slipped
the Russians atomic secrets for
"the safety Of mankind" In
actual payment he got at least
$500 and two bottles of whisky.

its footwork in the wrong place
Saturday night. The animal is

pairs.

galloping full speed at the car.
AS Reynolds related it, there was
a terrific impact" when the ami
NAL leaped on the engine hood.
