President's Statement Stirs Investigation
Washington (U.P.)—Stunned senators said today the MacArthur investigation might just as well begin all over in view of President Truman's statement that he considered firing the general for a year.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur, himself, was at a loss to explain Mr. Truman's statement. He said he was astonished to the point of "incredulity."
India Asks UN War Aims
Flushing, N.Y. (U.P.)-India asked the United Nations today to make a formal statement of its war aims in Korea in line with Gen. Matthew Ridgway's declaration that it would be a major victory if South Korea were cleared of invading Communist forces.
India's Sir Benegal Rau, who has led the Arab-Asian bloc in peace moves within the U.N. for the last six months, raised Ridgway's statement when he explained his country's vote with a declaration that the New Delhi government was not shipping and would not ship war materials to any country.
Ridgway's statement was made before the Red armies launched their spring offensive and before General Douglas MacArthun was ousted as the U.N. supreme field commander. At that time, Ridgway commanded the U.S. Eighth Army.
Explosion Wrecks Troop Ship
Saigon, Indo-China (U.P) — Thirty French soldiers were killed and 100 injured when a violent explosion wrecked a French troop transport in the harbor at Nhatrang, Indo-China, press reports said today. The reports said the blasts rocked the shin yesterday morning.
The 4,000 ton troop ship was loaded with soldiers and munitions.
The disaster was caused by a fire in the hold where the munitions had just been loaded, an investigation revealed.
Crew members brought the fire under control, the press reports said.
Alligators In The River?
Wichita (U.P.) — Somebody stole four alligators from the Wichita zoo. The reptiles each were about 25 years old and some three feet long. Police Capt. L. O. Fraipont said he was without clues and only hopes the 'gators "don't show up in the Arkansas river a little later in the year."
Mr. Truman told his news conference Thursday that he had considered dismissing the former Pacific commander for about a year before he fired him on April 11. He said he made up his mind when General MacArthur served a peace ultimatum on the Chinese Reds on March 24.
Mr. MacArthur retorted in New York that the action on his part "would only be regarded as supplementary to and in full support of any political move toward peace unless an agreement was in contemplation on the enemy's own terms."
These seemed to be harsh words in light of the administration's avowed attempts to secure peace "without appeasement" in Korea.
Fire Sweeps Pier,
Ship In Philadelphia
Philadelphia (U.P.) — A five-alarm fire swept a waterfront pier and a merchant ship today, forcing nearly 30 crewmen to leap into the Delaware river to save their lives.
Three persons were missing and more than a score of others were injured. Fire Marshall George Kington set the damage to the pier and the 5,000-ton freighter Pineland at $50,000.
North Wichita Flooded
Wichita (U.P.)—The Little Arkansas river went out of its banks in the north Wichita and Riverside district this morning. Most of the Riverside district, an exclusive home area, was under water. Schools were ordered closed a Wichita North High school and three grade schools because of high water.
Train Wreck Kills 11
Bryn Mawr, Pa. (U.P.)—The locomotive of a Pennsylvania railroad express train plowed into a halted passenger train today, split a sleeping car in two and scattered wreckage over the four main line tracks.
Eleven persons were known dead and two other bodies were believed still in the wreckage. About 50 persons were injured in the wreck near the Bryn Mawr station.
