The Red Cross fund drive has

is $67, 500 less this year.
At a luncheon yesterday in
the United States Chamber OF
Commerce building, gifts and
pledges Of $3.50 .979 were reported
from 158,421 contributors.
This is At per cent Of the
81 .463 500 goal. Last year at this
time 48 per cent of a 1881 ,00C

The volunteer workers at the

The Thursday meeting be-
tween President Eisenhower,
the top command in the Pen
tagon and Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur was far more impor-
tant than generally reported,
according to personalities in
a position to know but whose
identity must remain undiS-
closed.
The meeting was called to
discuss. according to these re-
ports, mainly the increasingly
precarious situation in Indo-
China.
We have a military -diplo-
matte interest in Indo- China.
We cannot accept impaSsively
the conquest Of that area by

MacArthur's presence at a
formal luncheon at the White
House last year. President Eli
senhower and his former SUI
perior officer had not met for
a heart-to-heart talk since
the Chief Executives return
from q visit to Korea late in
1852. The press of the many
Government problems appar-
emily made it difficult for Gen.
Eisenhower to ask Macarthur
to visit him. The former SUI
preme commander in the Pa
ciflc felt that it was not up to
him to instigate a meeting and
was Sulking in his tent.
A number of high-ranking
officials who wanted to visit
Macarthur to discuss partic-
ularly Far Eastern problems
were told that the general was
unavailable. Others who man
aged to see him were asked by
Macarthur not to breach any
political and military prob
lens unless they had specific
consent and authority from
the President himself. This
