Gon. MacArthur May Have “Faded” ‘
When Bob Taft Lost Nomination
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON —(AP)— When
Gen, MacArthur disappeared into
the applauding platfrom crowd
after delivering his keynote speech
at the Republican national con
vention he may reaily have begun
his fade away from American pub
lic ‘life, or at least its political
life.
He was a Taft man. So long as
the senator had a shance for the
presidential nomination, MacAr
thur had a chance for the vice
presidential spot. There was even
talk MacArthur might be consid
ered for president if Taft and Gen.
Eisenhower stalemated each oth
er. ’
But the door slammed shut on
any hopes MacArthur might have
had for high elective office when
the nomination went to Eisenhow
er. Two generals on one ticket
would have been one too many, |
anyway. And there was no reason
why Eisenhower should want him
on the ticket. There was no love
lost between them.
This undoubtedly was MacAr
thur’s last chance for the White
House or the vice presidercy.
) When he appeared before the con
vention in civilian clothes he look
ed like what he is: An old man.
By the time the 1956 conventions
roll around MacArthur will ob
viously be too old for considera
tion. He will be 76.
No Sensation
Neither his appearance nor his
| speech was a sensation. He got an
} ovation but the following night
| former President Hoover got a
| bigger one. And there were yawns
| as MacArthur picked his way
through his long and carefully
prepared address. The yawns may
| have been due to his complicated
| sentences. Or maybe what he had
to say had become an old story.
MacArthur had to endure two
humiliating climaxes- to his dis

‘tinguished career: His defeat at|
the Yalu River after almost win
)mng in Korea; and, for his latcrl
conduct, his recall by President |
Truman who stripped him of his
command, In his memorable ad
dress to Congress 15 months ago
he indicated he would just fade
away, like other old soldiers.
Didn’t Fade
Instead of fading, he remained
conspicuously in the public eye
with eight other major speeches
which, although he denied he was
in politics, were political speech
es. They were directed with in
creasing heat against the Truman
administration which humiliated
him. But they contained another
main theme: Defense of himself. |
If the Truman administration
had tried to prevent his Chicagol
appearance, because he is still on
active duty, MacArthur might
lhave been a sensational figure in
convention considerations. Instead,
the administration followed the
line it apparently decided upon in
dealing with him: It has avoided
making him a rallying point, pro
vided him with no crises, and letl
him run his course.
His present position has at least
one advantage: If he does make‘
any more speeches to hurt the ad
ministration which hurt him, he
can hardly be accused of having
any personal political ambitions
left.
The Council of State Chambers
of Commerce has totaled up the
country’s foreign aid expenditures
of the past 12 years and found the
total—sß9,2s2,ooo,ooo—is equal to
the value of all new home con
struction in the past 25 years, Just
since the war, we've spent $48,-
000,000,000 on foreign aid —an
amount exceeding the value of all
property, plant and equipment‘
owned by American manufactur
ing corporations combined.

“LOOK IT OVER Slß"—Secretary of the Navy Dan A. Kimball,
right, looks over a four-and-a-half-foot model of his department’s
latest weapon, an atom-powered submarine, the Nautilus, able to
travel thousands of miles on a few pounds of uranium fuel. The
model was displayed at the Pentagon, where Naval Capt. Hyman
George Rickover, left, was awarded a gold star for his part in
development of the submarine. According to Rickover’s model,
the pug-nosed vessel carries a furnace in which uranium reacts,
produces heat to make steam and revolve turbines cperating two
propellers. A heavy shield will protect the crew from radioactivity.

Broadway Go T. V.
BY RICHARD KLEINER
NEA Staff Correspondent
| NEW YORK. — (NEA) — Lee
Tracy went to work on a plate of
shirred eggs and sausage, but his
mind was on ham. Acting-type
ham, that is. He’s concerned about
the big debate along Broadway
these days c¢n how television will
affect the legitimate theater.
Tracy, who has 30 years of thea
ter behind him, is now playing
“Martin Kane” on the private-eye
series of the same name. So he
knows both fields well, and he
thinks the iwo can live happily
ever after — if.
“If they work together,” said
Tracy, contemplating a snippet of
sausage.
And there’s a way they can
work togetker, he says, which will
bring the best of Broadway to
people all over the country. That’s
closed-circuit televising of com
plete Broadway productions to
' hundreds cf movie theaters.
| “Some producers say it will kill
‘the road,” Tracy said, snorting his
famous Tracy snort. “There isn’t
any road left to kill; it’s dead now.
'This thing will work fine. You
take a play that's about to close
after a long run and televise it to
a couple of hundred theaters.
“The folks across the country
see a good show that they wouldn’t
‘have seen otherwise, The actors
slice up a percentage of the take
—maybe it'll come to three weeks’
salary, maybe 10 weeks’, but
whatever it is, it’s found money.
The producers get their share.
Local movie theaters make money
101*“”& change. Everybody is hap
py.
The one problem that is left,
says Tracy, is that the play will
have to be censored. The pungent
language cos a Broadway hit, like,
for instance, “Stalag 17,” wouldn't
