MacArthur To Defend Policy
Tokyo (U.P.)-Gen. Douglas Mac-Aarth prepared today for a fight to the finish with the Truman administration over Far Eastern policy on his return to the United States Monday.
His top aide fired a second blast at administration critics with a warning that appeasement in the Far East may lead to a new world war.
MacArthur's associates said the ousted supreme commander intends to campaign for his beliefs in his homeland. They do not consider the case against him closed and said they were confident he would "come out on top" in the end.
The general spent the day within the white walls of the U.S. Embassy—official residence of the supreme commander—packing for his flight to the United States and planning the strategy which he will follow in his campaign for vindication.
Claim US Planes Bomb Manchuria
London (U.P.)—The Communist New China News agency said today that 31 United States bombers and an escort of about 40 fighter planes bombed and machine-gunned the Manchurian city of Antung Thursday.
Antung is just across the North Korean border.
Paper Seizure Up To Peron
Montevideo (LUP) — The independent Buenos Aires newspaper La Prensa did not have an opportunity to defend itself before the Argentine legislature approved its expropriation, publisher Alberto Gainza Paz said Thursday night.
The Communist broadcast said "more than 100 tons" of bombs were dropped on the city.
His statement was issued shortly after the Argentine senate voted unanimously for the expropriation bill. The bill went to President Juan D. Peron for his signature today.
President Peron has his choice of signing or vetoing the bill, or he can allow it to become law automatically at the end of 20 days without his signature.
The publisher denied that La Prensa had ever been "run from abroad" as many Peronist congressmen charged.
Mr. Gainza Paz declared the joint congressional investigating committee did not call upon the management or administration of the closed newspaper to testify. The committee thus ignored the right of defense, respected even in the war crimes trials at Nuremberg, he said.
Chicago School Head Named
Chicago (U.R.) - Laurence A. Kipmpton, 40, stepped into the chancellorship of the University of Chicago today, succeeding the school's one-time "boy wonder," Robert M. Hutchins. He was appointed yesterday.
Kimpton has been one of Hutchins' most important administrative aides and was a vice-president of the University at the time of his appointment.
During the war, he was chief administrative officer of the metallurgical laboratories which worked on the atomic bomb at the University.
Kimpton started teaching philosophy at Chicago in 1944. He became vice-president and dean of faculties in 1946. In 1947 he became professor of philosophy and dean of students at Stanford university, but last summer returned to Chicago as vice-president in charge of development.

Tokyo —(U.P.)—Chinese Communists heavily reinforced their troops in Korea Friday and halted a United Nations drive in the mountain approaches to the Red stronghold of Kumwha.
American tanks rolled into Yonchon, found the city deserted, and returned to their own lines in the afternoon.
American artillery roared incessantly throughout the day, with 6,000 to 8,000 rounds being fired on one division front alone.
Tanks joined the doughboys in the forefront of the fighting. One U. S. tank reported being fired on by a Chinese using an American 3.5- inch bazooka.
Bitter fighting swayed in the heights along both sides of the highway leading from Seoul to Kumhwa, supply center of Red forces massed on the central front.
Official Bulletin
The Chinese came out of their entrenchments twice to counterattack advancing American troops. The Yanks withdrew and called in an artillery barrage. Then they charged, and the Reds retreated into their bunkers.
Seven guest speakers will lecture on municipal administration.
U. N. troops captured a series of ridges northeast of Yongong during the day, but were thrown back repeatedly by Chinese entrenched along another ridge just east of the Seoul-Kumhua highway.
But 10 miles west, on the highway straight north from Seoul, the Reds abandoned the major town of Yonchon, 35 miles north of Seoul and seven miles north of the 38th parallel.
The third annual law institute sponsored by the School of Law is asking place today in the Little theater of Green hall.
