Senators Wrangle
Over Russell Rule
Senators Want General To Tell
' About Private Talks With HST -
WASHINGTON, May 16.— (AP) —The Senate inquiry
into General Douglas MacArthur’s dismissal was broken
off today by a hot argument over whether General Omar
pradley should tell about his private talks with President
Truman.
pradley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, refused
yesterday to tell what he and Mr. Truman said to each
other prior to the firing of the Far Eastern commander.
Today, the White House said Mr. Truman does not want
Bradley to do so. G iRy

._The end of the war in Korea is
not in sight, the general said.
And he added: “But when the
end does come, it will come when
that eountry is on as a good basis
gs it was before war started,”
Maj. Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor,
ascistant chief of staff of the Army,
aqoke these words at the National
Defense forum last night at the
§oth annual convention of the Gen
ern! Federation of Women’s Clubs.
“he American Army in Korea
will match the best we had in the
last war, he said.
“It's a feeling of "bring’em on—
we can take what you've got.”
“And remember — you talk
about unlimited Chinese manpow
er — but a trained, armed Chi~
nese mannowfer is not unlimited.
Like a Prizefight
“It's like a prizefight. We don’t
now what round we're in. But
this T ean say—the enemy has
been on the floor twice, He’s get
ting up again, but he’s getting up

Two theusand delegates from
14500 women’s clubs in the Uni

tently to General Taylor, to Nel
son A. Rockefeller, chairman of
the International Development
Advisory Board; and to Millard F.

They applauded when Rocke

a world community unless we
make up our minds whether
we're in it or out of it.”

BULLETIN
WASHINGTON, May 16—
AP)—Senators voted 19 to 6
loday to. excuse Gen. Omar
Bradley until next Monday as &
witness in the MacArthur hear

whether to fnsist that he testify
about private talks with Presi
dent Truman on the dismissal of
Gen. Dougias MacArthur.

ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
Associated Press Service
Nevertheless, some Republicans
on the inquiry panel—made up of
the Senate Armed Services and
Foreign Relations Committees —
were insistent that Bradley should
tell.
While Bradley sat silently in the
witness chair for more than two
hours today, the senators argued
heatedly. Charges, implied and
direct, of trying to play politics
figured in the debate.
In the upshot:
1. Bradley was dismissed as a
witness until Monday.
2. The senators agreed to vote
at noon (EST) tomorrow on
whether they should insist that the
five-star general tell them about
his conference with the President.
' Course of Inquiry
This left the course of the in
quiry up in the air for the imme
diate future, but stymied it for the
day at least.
Atop the charges hurled in the
committee room itself, Senator
Fulbright (D.-Ark.) told reporters
on leaving that he fears Republi
cans may be “trying to sabotage”
the whole inquiry into MacAr
thur’s ouster.
Fulbright told reporters:
“Apparently things are mnot
quite going the way they (Repub
licans) like. I think the inference
can be drawn that because of this
they are making unfair-and untrue
charges about ‘pulling down the
iron curtain’” <
‘This was a reference to a con
tention by Senator Knowland (R.-
Calif.) that Bradlev’s stand about
the talks with the President raised
a question whether the White
House was lowering an “iron cur
tain” on the testimony of wit
nesses.
Knowland’s statement was made
in the committee room.
Fulbright said it appeared to
him the Republicans were pre
paring to “ery whitewash and
torpedo the whole investigation.”
He said the same issue of confi
dential communications between
President Truman and General
MacArthur and Secretary of De
fense Marshall “could have been
raised but were not.”
No Comment
Chairman Russeil (D.-Ga.) of
the inquiry group declined to com
ment on Fulbright’s statement.
Russell announced the commit
tees will meet at 9 a. m. (EST)
tomorrow. He said three hours
will be devoted to argument and
at noon EST. threre will be a
vote on this question:
“Whether or not a congressional
committee has the power-to com
pel an adviser of the President of
the United States to disclose the
details of a conversation had with
the President on a confidential
basis.””
He said he had ruled that such
testimony could not be required

Grain For India
To Be Voted On
Today By Senafe
WASHINGTON, May 16—(AP)
The Senate agreed to begin voting
today on the disuted bill to supply
2,000,000 tons of grain—mostly
wheat—to combat famine in India.
Passage seemed assured during the
afternoon.
The first amendment to be con
sidered would provide that all of
t:x:d $190,000,000 ;or!ofl; of U. S
£ would be. by a loan
from'the U. S. tg‘ India. The Gems&
agreed to limit debate both en
amendments and final passage.
As it emerged from the Foreign
Relations Committee, the measure
provided that half of the grain
should be a gift and half paid for
by a loan.
But Senator H. Alexander Smith
(R.-N. J.), who headed a bi-parti=-
san group of 31 senators in spon
soring the bill, announced on the
floor yesterday he would be will
ing to accept the change to a
straight loan basis.
This signified the amendment
probably would be approved al
though some of the sponsors, such
| as Senator Humphrey (D.-Minn.),
I still insisted all of the grain should
be donated to India. This was the
| suggestion of President Truman in
| passing along to Congress India’s
request for help.
Ferguson Opposed
Senator Ferguson (R.-Mich.)
who offered the amendment for a
100 per cent loan, said India itself
| had not asked for a gift.

Reds erm Down From Hills
To Attack On Eastern Front
Enemy Actions May Indicate
Beginning Of New Offensive
BY OLEN CLEMENTS
TOKYO, Thursday, May 17.— (AP) = Red troops
poured out of the hills in attacks all along the eastern front
of Korea Wednesday night.
It was too early to tell whether it was the start of the
expected Red offensive, or new probing in force.
They struck strong blows from Chunchon, 48 miles
northeast of Seoul, eastward to the SBea of Japan.
The attacks came not long after
Ma}. Gen. William Hoge, com=
mander of the U, 8. Ninth Corps,
predicted the Red offensive would
open Friday. Hoge said his troops
would welcome it.
The general said if the Chinese
follow their “previous pattern of
attacking on the full moon, the
blow should come soon. The moon
comes full on the 18th of the
month, That gives him two days.”
(The world almanac and the U.
S. Coast and Geodetic Survey say
the full moon comes next Mon
day.)
Big Red Force
Allied intelligence officers said
a striking force of 390,000 Reds
was ready for the signal to begin
their biggest offensive of the waa.
One United Nations divisional
officer said the Communists “will
have to do more probing” before
the attack. “They are not too fam
iliar with our defense lines,”
Allied patrols reaching across
the 10 mile wide no-man’s-land
also probed continually into Chi
nese buildups. Deeper flpr:nm
tions ran into artillery from
self-propelled guns.
A divisional spokesman sald in
creasing’ numbers of Red- prison=
ers were being brought back, in
dicating a weakening of Commun~
ist morale. R ]
Peiping radio sought to bolster
Chinese troops by assuring them
they have shown that the “United
States is nothing but a paper tig
er.” The Red China broadcast said
the war will continue until “we
drive the mad, shameless Ameri
can imperialists completely out of
Korea.”
American troops, somewhat
bored with waiting, have had time
in a two and a half week lull to
thoroughly bolster their defenses.
A division spokesman said the
Allied forces are probably in the
best positions they have manned
vet. He said they’re confident and
in good spirits.
AP Correspondent John Ran
dolph reported that while Allied
officers differed on just when the
Reds will strike they agreed:
“The Chinese are loaded and
cocked and can explode southward
any time they want."”

Stafe Education
ATLANTA, May 16.— (AP} -
The State Board of Education
meets today to consider a Mini
mum Foundation budget, and is
expected to take its cue from
Governor Talmadge, who has
asked for a two-year budget in
stead of a one-year formula.
Objections to a proposed plan
for distributing the Fourldation
fund arose at yesterday’s meeting
of the Board’s financial commit
tee.
The Board today also will be
asked to approve a formula for
distributing a $5,000,000 “conting
ent” fund of the Minimumy Pro
gram so alleviate hardships in
nearly 30 city and county school
systems, ol R
Misg Ira Jarrell, superintendent
of the Atlanta public schools, told
the finance committee that the
city of Atlanta cannot put the
Foundation Program into effect
this yesr-——inless given more state
dg than the Foundation formula
offers.
Miss Jarrell
She said the Foundation Pro
gram could cost the Atlanta school
system $266,000 this year. The
Foundation Program is set up on
a 12-month basis. In the past state
aid has been on a 10-month basis.
Miss Jarrell compared the
Foundation Programr with that
carried on by the Atlanta school
system. She said it took Atlanta
a long time simply to equalize
salaries. The superintendent noted
that the Foundation Program is
trying to equalize salaries, raise
pay, lower the teachers’ load and
start a building program all at
once.
Claude Purcell, director of ad
ministration of the State Depart
ment. of Education, countered Miss
Jarrell’s charges of a $266,000~
loss. He said Miss Jarrell didn’t
count $300,000 which thé Founda
tion Program sets up for Atlanta
for capital outlay,
Miss Jarrell declared that the
capital outlay eouldn’t be used for
administration and teachers’ sala
ries,
A spokesman for the Atlanta
school system said Atlanta’s sg:s
tem can break even next year, For
then, the plan of improvement will
bring 88 additional schools into
the systenr.
House Speaker Fred Hand of
Pelham appeared at yesterday’s
meeting, He protested & proposed
formula for distributing the figun
dation fund in his home schools.
Budget Consideration
The Board today was reported
ready to consider Talmadge’s re
quest for a two-year budget.
The Department of Education is
requesting 8 budget of $81,649,380
for the 1951-52 fiscal year and
$38,055,852 for the 1052-53 fiscal
year, This 1s within the approprias
tion bill.
State School Superintendent I\;I
D. Colling said last night that it is
not necefiaxg for the State Board
to pass the budget at today’s ses
