East commander in 1851. De-
spite assurances he would sup

Far East, Nj. Truman said, Gen
Macarthur eontradieted that
policy in public statements. The
former President said he first
gave serious thought to relieving

Policy Criticized
Mr.. Truman was referring to
the incident where Gen. MacAr-
thur criticized the Formoss
quarantine" policy in a letter
to the commander Of the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars. This
was less than a month after
Presidential Ernissary Averell
Hartman had talked with the
general in Tokyo and had. Mr.
Truman said, secured his support
for administration policy.
Mr.. Truman said publication
of the WV letter undermined
the American and United Ma
lions official position.
The President considered re-
placing Gen. Macarthur as
commander In Korea and the
Formosa area, but letting him
keep his job as head Of the Japa-
nese occupation, he said. He
didn't do It. Mr.. Truman wrote
because he had no desire to
hurt Gen. Macarthur person
ally"
Mr.. Truman described the
early Korean War months this
way:
All Of his cabinet and con-
gressional leaders from both
parties approved his decision to
intervene in Korea. The first
administration goal was modest
ito restore peace there and TO
restore the border at the 38th
parallel n
Threat 20 Formosa
Chang Kai-shek offered to
help out with $4,000 men. but
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
convinced the President that
Nationalist Chinese help would
expose Formosa to a Red Chinese
invasion. that the presence of
Chiang's troops in Korea might
lure the Red Chinese in and
that the Generalissimo's troops
were too ill-equipped to be of
assistance.
Gen. Macarthur also at that
time urged against sending the
Chinese troops on the grounds
they would require too much
American support. Mr.. Truman
wrote.
Later, during a visit to For
mosa, Gen. Macarthur indicated
he disagreed with the check
placed on Chang. Mr.. Truman
sent Mr.. Hartman to Tokyo
Mr.. Hartman said on his return
that Gen. Macarthur insisted he
had spoken only Of military mat
tiers with the GeneralisSirno.
Macarthur recognized that
tthe Chang ambition to return
to the mainlandl could not be
fulfilled. and yet thought it
might be a good idea to let him
land and get rid Of him that
way" the Hartman report said.
Mr.. Hartman came away

The Honorable Earle b. Ottley
IVicePresident of the Legislature
Of the Virgin Islands
charlotte Amalie, st. Thomas
Dear Vice-President Ottley:
This will reply to your letter oof April -, the first part
Iof which states, 1T is conceivable that the legislature in
exercising its right to conduct investigations may be re-
quired to travel in excess of the number stipulated in sub
section 5 (l Can such excess travel be paid from funds de-
rived exclusively from taxes levied on the people Of the Vr-
gin Islands?"
First. of all the section referred to Of Public Law ST is
Section s (e( It is the opinion of this office that Section s ()
Of the Revised Organic Act, Public Law 517, limits reimburse
ment by the Federal Government for members of the legis-
lature to actual travel expenses for eight round trips per
year between their homes and sessions of the legislature.
Section 6 () imposes what is in effect a limitation as to the
number of round trips any senator may make at government
tai expense from his home island to attend the sessions of
the legislature. Section 6 () does not, however, impose a
limitation on territorial expenditures for other travel by the
senators in carrying out their legislative functions. In Sec
ton 6 O) the federal government has preempted the right to
llegislate with reference to the travel Of a senator in go
ling to and from the sessions of the legislature and to this
extent the specific expenditure must. be paid by the Federal
Government and therefore, the territorial legislature can
neither increase the number Of trips for which a senator
will be REIMBURSED nor appropriate any funds for the travel
of the legislature in going to and from the sessions Of the
Legislature.
It seems to US that, with respect to travel expenses, 6 ()
means two things. First, the section means that the legisla-
tors in travelling to and from sessions, are limited to reim-
sbursement for eight trips q year, and the expenses arising
from those trips will be paid by the Federal Government.
Secondly, with respect to legitimate travel other than to and
from sessions of the legislature, there is no limitation i'm
posed on the territorial legislature. The Federal Government
would not, of course, under the language of Section 6 (el
have authority to pay any such additional travel expenses
but the legislature itself is not barred from enacting laws in
accordance with procedures prescribed by the revised Or
ganic Act, authorizing and appropriating territorial funds
for travel by senators other than to and from sessions. Thus.
the legislature may, with the approval of the governor, enact
legislation, using territorial funds, of its members to legisla-
tive committee sessions in n~eighboring islands and for other
similar legislative activities. Any such expenditures would,
tof course, be subject to the scrutiny of this office under Sec
ton II (1 of Public Law ST, under which we are required
to bring to the attention of the proper administrative Off
