Truman Challenges Tobey
To Begin Impeachment
WASHINGTON, April 12— Truman, in a new and
angry telephone call, has challenged Senator Tobey to start an im
peachment move against him, the New Hampshire Republican re
ported today.
Tobey told reporters the President called him Tuesday and said
in an unfriendly tone: -
“I understand you are going to have me impeached.”
Fine Calls
Tax Plan
'Makesh ift'
HARRISBURG, April 12—(#•)
—Gov. John S. Fine applied a
“makeshift” label today to a non
administration tax program sug
gested as an alternate to the per
sonal income levy.
Digging into a maze of figures
shown in his projected $1,200,000,-
000 budget for the next two
years, the governor said:
“The simple fact may be re
peated—we have been obligated
to pay $112,000,000 for which no
revenue has been provided. This
money and the balance of the
$163,000,000 needed for the next
biennium can only come from
taxes.”
Measure Revived
So- far, Fine’s plan for a one
half of one per cent income tax
to raise $119,000,0000 in the next
two years hag. had rough going
in- the House. The once-defeated
measure was revived yesterday
but the House GOP leadership
lacked the necessary 105 votes to
put it over decisively.
Fine’s special statement at
tacked a four-part tax -rogram
set up by an accounting firm at
the direction of Sen. John M.
Walker, Republican floor leader.
The proposals called for:
Re-enactment of the cent a’ bot
tle soft drink tax, expected to
bring in $30,000,000 in two years.
Corporate Tax
Increase the corporate net in
come tax from four to five per
cent to raise $44,000,000.
Cutting the civil defense ap
propriation from $20,000,000 to
$2,000,000.
Revising anticipated tax rev
enues at $60,000,000 higher than
the figure forecast by the gov
ernor’s budget secretary, Dr. Ed
ward B. Logan.

Tobey said he replied that he
intended nothing of the sort, but
that Mr. Truman, insisting he had
gotten information from a source
in whom he had “the most com
plete confidence,” declared: ’
No Objection
“Now let me tell you this, sena
tor. If you want to have me im
peached, you just go right ahead
and I’ll help you.”'
Tobey did not interpret what
the President may have meant
when he said “I’ll help you.”
Tuesday was the day before Mr.
•Truman dismissed Gen. Douglas
MacArthur, however, and there
was speculation that perhaps the
President had in mind his dis
missal order and the controversy
it would arouse.
During the storm in Congress
over the MacArthur ouster several
members have called for the
President’s impeachment.
No Hard Feelings
But Tobey has not made any
public demand for impeachment.
He said today he entertains
“friendly” feelings for the Presi
dent and is sorry that the inci
dent occurred.
Other senators offered an ex
planation for the President’s ire.
they reported that Tobey had
told a closed meeting of the
Senate Banking subcommittee
Monday that the President “could
be impeached” if he suppressed
evidence' he once claimed to
possess that some members of
Congress received fees in connec
tion with. RFC loans.

Red Planes
Downed In
Jet Battle
TOKYO, Friday, April 13 (R)—
The Far East Air Force today
raised to 29 the total number of
enemy planes destroyed or dam
aged yesterday in history’s larg
est jet air battle.
Previous reports had said that
U.S. fighters without loss to
themselves shot down at least
five and possibly eight Russian
type MIG jets in two dog fights.
Fourteen Red jets had been re
ported damaged.
The Air Force called the raid,
“the most concentrated interdic
tion attack of the war.”
In the record-breaking battle,
80 red-nosed OlG’s challenged 72
American F-86 Sabre jets, and F
-84 Thunderjets and some 40 B-29
Superfort bombers.
Three Red jets were shot down
and two others probably destroy
ed. A B-29 gunner got one—quite
a feat, hitting a target flashing
by from left to right at a speed
of some 500 miles an hour.
In the second dogfight, 15 Red
MIG-15’s attacked 12 American
F-86’s.'
The Sabres downed two and
probably destroyed another.
The U.S. Fifth Air Force re
ported that no American fighters
were lost. Two bombers were
forced to land in Korea.
War Against China
Needed To Avoid
W.W. 11l Taft Says
NEW YORK, April 12 —(IP) —
Sen. Taft (R-Ohio) said tonight
the prevention of World War 111
“cannot now be accomplished
without an aggressive war against
Communist China.”
He said Gen. MacArthur spoke
up on foreign policy because of a
“justified fear” the .United States
would end the Korean war by
appeasement.
Said Taft' in • a speech to the
Yale Engineering association here:
“If the original sending of
American troops to Korea was to
prevent World War 111, then that
purpose has been long completely
lost from sight.
“It cannot now be accomplished
without an aggressive war against
Communist China and a punish
ment of the aggressor, as the
North Koreans were punished.”
Taft shid “the firing of General
MacArthur has led the world to
believe that we are now looking
in the direction of appeasement.”

Gen. MacArthur
To Come Home
WASHINGTON, April 12 (JP) —Republican anger over General
Mac Arthur’s'removal boiled over today into demands for the resig
nation of President Truman and Secretary of State Acheson.
The great debate on the Truman-versus-MacArthur issue ex
ploded again in the Senate while the nation still seethed with
violent emotion
The President fired MacArthur yesterday and explained later
he feared the policies the general:
advocated would lead to World
War 111. MacArthur wanted- to
carry the bombing campaign to
the Chinese beyond the Manchur
ian-Korean border and held that
Chiang Kai-Shek’s Nationalists
should be allowed to open a sec
ond front on the China mainland.
Quick Return
The general cleared the way to
day in Tokyo for a quick return
home to defend his Asian policies.
MacArthur cabled John Foster
Dulles here that he plans to leave
Tokyo on Monday—but he did not
say whether he would come di
rectly to the, United States.
Dulles is American negotiator
on the Japanese peace treaty and
is going to Japan in a few days.
Dulles cabled MacArthur he
hoped to see the general in Tokyo
but MacArthur replied he was
leaving Monday..
Senator Welker (R-Idaho) told
the Senate Mr. Truman should
step out of the White House and
give Vice President Barkley a
chance “to restore unity and con
fidence” in the country.
Knowland Comments
Senator Knowland (R-Calif) de
clared Acheson “should resign or
be removed by the President” be
cause the American people “no
longer have confidence in him.”
Senator Robertson (D-Va) came
to the President’s defense saying
MacArthur deliberately forced
the issue “of who should be in
charge of our foreign policy in
the Far East.” He said MacArthur
knew the meaning of insubordin
ation and had forced Mr. Truman
to act

Draft Age
WASHINGTON, April 12 ( JP )—
The House overwhelmingly dem
onstrated today its support for
lowering the draft age and mak
ing a survey preparatory to start
ing universal military training.
By a vpte of 232 to 140, it de
feated a substitute bill that would
have extended the draft law but
kept the present minimum induc
tion age at 19 years. The defeated
bill made no provision for UMT
at any time.
Members were not recorded by
name in the voting. Rep. Barden
(D-NC) sponsored the bill.
The House put off until to
morrow a final vote on the ad
ministration-backed measure to
drop the draft age to 18%,
lenghten the period of service to
26 months and create a commis
sion to report to Congress later
on UMT. The draft law would
be extended until July 1, 1954.
