Truman Told MacArthur
That Russia Was Threat
WASHINGTON, May 11— (VP) President Truman told Gen.
Douglas'MacArthur last Jan. 13 that Soviet Russia was the "main
threat" and that any spread of the Korean war might involve Japan
and Western Europe in a large-scale struggle.
The chief executive wrote a letter to the five-star general out
lining the aims of the American Government in Korea and saying:
"Steps which might in them
selves be justified and which
might lend some assistance to the
campaign in Korea would not be
beneficial if they hereby involved
Japan or Western Europe in large
scale hostilities.
"In reaching a final decision
about Korea, I shall have to give
constant thought to the main
threat from the Soviet Union and
to the need for rapid expansion of
our armed forces to meet this
great danger."
The letter—in paraphrased form
—was read to the Senate armed
services and foreign relations
committees by Secretary of De
fense Marshall in the fifth day of
his defense of administration pol
icies in Asia.
It was written by the President
after General MacArthur had ad
vised Washington that he might
have to evacuate United Nations
troops from Korea unless he were
permitted to bomb Re d China,
blockade the Red-held coast, and
use Chinese Nationalist troops.

European Duty
WASHINGTON. May 11—(2?)
The alerting of the Second Ar

in Europe increased the pros
pects that Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower will have from 12 to 14
ready-to-fight divisions by the
end of this year.
Six of those divisions will be
American. The First Infantry Di
vision and the Constabulary
Force, which is considered the
equivalent of a combat, division,
are already in Germany. The
Fourth Infantry Division is in the
final stage of preparation to sail
for Europe, nearly one month
after it received alert orders at
Fort Benning, Ga.
Today the Second Armored,
based at Fort Hood, Tex., was
notified to be ready for overseas
duty.
The two divisions being pre
pared for Europe are not at full
strength and will need more
training before they are combat
worthy. Both their strength and
their training, however, are ex
pected to be built up after they
reach Europe.

Moran Gets
Sentence
For Lying
NEW YORK, May 11 (R)—Am
bassador William O'Dwyer's long
time pal, James J. Moran, drew a
flue year prison sentence today
for lying to the Kefauver Senate
crime committee.
Federal Judge Charles A. Dew
ey, adding a $2,000 fine to the
penalty, threw the book at the
ruddy, gray-haired Moran.
To Launch Appeal
Moran flushed and bobbed his
head at the sentence. Then, grim
ly and silently, he strode from
the courtroom to launch an ap
peal from last Tuesday's convic
tion.
His freedom on $25,000 bond
was continued pending
.the out
come of the appeal.
The 49-year-old Moran was
convicted of perjury for telling
Senate crime probers March 16
that he met Brooklyn numbers
racketeer Louis Weber no more
than half a dozen times.
On Television
Millions of persons for the first
time in history watched the act
ual commission of the crime •on
television and heard the words
that branded Moran a liar.
His conviction and sentence
was the first growing out of the
dramatic cross-country series of
Senate crime hearings that end
ed last March.
The government said Moran
and Weber met more than 100
times and called Moran's lie "part
of a calculated scheme rooted in
the monstrous alliance between
crime and politics."
Weber went even further and
denied ever meeting Moran in his
life. He is awaiting trial on a
perjury charge and Moran was
subpoenaed today as a witness
against him.

l2—(/P)--A cabinet crisis, brought
about by a financial scandal and
a mass execution, is threatening
the , South Korean Government
while Allied Forces battle to de
fend the Republic against the
Reds.
There is some informal talk of
impeaching Dr. Syngman Rhee,
76-year-old first President of the
UN-sponsored Republic, but he
appears strong enough to stay in
the saddle. .
Rhee fired three cabinet minis
ters recently as an aftermath of
the execution of 187 villagers at
Kochang. Charged with commun
ist sympathies, the villagers were
convicted by a military court and
shot Feb. 12. •
The opposition party, the Na

Department funds had disappear
ed. During an assembly debate on
this matter one delegate sank his
teeth into a colleague's cheek.

propriety on my part."

difference of views on what is
proper and improper."

pellers, body shapes, and auxil
iaries of underwater devices
through the use of powered
I models.
An operating console is used
by engineers to control and gauge
the velocity and pressure in the
working section. The tunnel is
capable of sending water through
the testing area at a speed of 80
feet per second.
