Committee Says Bradley
Not Compelled To Speak
WASHINGTON, May 17 (.P)—Senate investigators decided 18 to
8 today that they cannot compel Gen. Omar N. Bardley to reveal
what was said between President Truman and his advisers at a
meeting which led to the ouster of Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
By this action, the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Rela
tions committees upheld their presiding officer, Senator Russell
(D-Ga), who ruled that -Bradley
was within his rights in refusing
to'disclose the conversation. Brad
ley had declared that his value
as a confidential adviser to the
President would be ruined if he
talked
Made Decision
'Truman said he had been
thinking of firing MacArthur off
and on for the past year—but
hadn't made 'a decision until the
General offered on March 24 to
talk peace terms With the Red
commander in Korea! The Presi
dent referred to this offer as an
ultimatum. Administration men
have taken the view it threw
monkey wrench into a settlement
attempt Truman . himself was
planning at the time.
Acheson Urges Caution
In the now-famous meeting,
Truman said Secretary of State
Acheson urged caution on the
grounds the ouster woad pick up
a political fuss. But he added that
after hearing all the arguments,
Acheson agreed with the others
that MacArthur had to go.
Truman said the Senate inquiry
group did exactly right in up
holding Bradley's refusal to talk
about the meeting. He added the
decisions and actions taken were
his own and his conversations
with his advisers and staff were
his own business.
Farm Employees
Not Su bieded
To Wage Controls
WASHINGTON, May 17—(W)
The government today exempted
about three fourths of the na
tion's farm workers from wage
controls:
The Wage Stabilization Board
ruled that farm employers may
raise wages freely so long as the
increases don't boost pay rates
above •95 cents an hour.
Pay ,increases also may be
given to bring hOurly rates be
yond 95 cents an hour provided
the increase does not exceed ten
per cent of the top wage level
paid during the calendar year
1950.
Such pay increases beyond 95
cents an hour but within the 10
per cent limitdtion may be given
automatically without board ap
proval.
William M. Hepburn, a public
member of the Wage Board, told
reporters 'that the new rule ex
empting farm workers below the
95 cent hourly level freed from
75 to 80 per cent of all farm
workers from stabilization rules.
, The ruling was a unanimous
decision of the public, industry
and labor members and was the
first major action of the newly
constituted Wage Stabilization
Board.
It was emphasized that today's
action was not intended in any
way .-to encourage employers to
increase wages of farm workers
earning less than 95 cents an
hour. Hepburn said that the
board merely felt that pay in
creases for such workers would
not materially interfere with
wage stabilization.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
M'Arthur, Taft
Challenged By
Pres. Truman
WASHINGTON, May 17—(R)—
President Truman challenged
Gen. Douglas MacArthur anti
Republican Sen. Taft today for
advocating policies he said would
put the United States in "an all
out war in China all by our
selves."
"One week of ail-out war," the
President asserted, "would cost
us 10 to 20 times" more per week
than the administration proposes
to spend' under its new $60,000,-
000,000 defense budget.
KOREANS FEAR
MacARTHUR IDEAS
HOUSTON, Tex., May 17—
(JP)—The Korean foreign min
ister said today his people fear
that General Douglas MacAr
thur's proposals might bring
Russia into the war.

efficacy of these," Minister
Yung Tai Pyiin said, "but what
the people fear is that these
tactics might provoke the So
viet Union into war.",
Later Truman remarked to re
porters that ' World War II cost
$450,000,000,000 and another
world war might easily cost
$600,000,000,000.
"Never was there a time when
the right "decisions were more
:necessary than at this time," he
went on in his extemporaneous
address.
"The hardest thing in the world
are the real facts," Truman said,
while the "easiest thing in the
wor l d to do is to garble and
confuse the facts.
"There's'a great deal of that
going on in the country right
now," the President said sharply.

Britain Bids
To Save Oil
Concession
LONDON, May 17—(R)—Brit
ain made a new bid through dip
lomatic channels today to save
her rich oil concession in Iran—
a coveted prize in the East-West
cold war.
The Labor government, after
a week's consultation with the
United States, dispatched to Teh
ran a firm note which informed
sources said offered to send a
high level mission to talk over
possible compromises that would
avert nationalization of the huge
Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.
The note was reported to:
I—Brand as illegal Iran's na
tionalization of the company,
whose concession was due to run
until 1993.
2—Assert such a move is im
practicail because Iran lacks the
know-how to produce, refine, and
market the oil.
The informed source's said the
note-contained no hint that Brit
ain would use force, if necessary,
to protect the 8000 Britons and
the multi-million dollar proper
ties of the company in southern
Iran.
A national front deputy, Abol
hassan Haerizadeh, told Iran's
parliament in Tehran today that
British pressure on Iran would
touch off World War 111. He is
a member of the little party which
engineered passage of the nation
alization law and seated the party
leader, Mohammed Mossadegh,
in the premiership.
