Douglas MacArthur has proved again he is one of the Tiuman administration's hottest potatoes. 1 His latest challenge of administration policy and Washington authority was burning fingers today at the White House, the State Department and the Pentagon. MacArthur's letter to a Republican leader. Rep. Joe Martin of Massachusetts, warmly endorsing Martin's demand that the thousands of Chinese Nationalist troops on Formosa under command of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek be used in action against the Chinese and Korean Communists, had potentialities in at least tfrree fields: T.
Domestic politics. 2. International politics, including the United Nations program in the Far East. 3. Military strategy.
While MacArthur's letter promptly raised speculation about possible disciplinary action against the live-star general there was serious question whether the White House would risk a bitter fight in Congress by removing him from command or piomoting him out of it. After reading MacArthur's letter to the House yesterday, Martin made it evident that here was the material for an issue. He said: "I think it is high time that the administration and the Pentagon came clean with the Congress and the American people." The State Department, which has been openly unhappy on previous occasions over MacArthur's frank and free discussions of diplomatic affairs, obviously was chagrined again. The general's latest writings had come to light at a time when American diplomats were tiding to quiet the worry of allies over Chinese reaction to a new push into North Korea. Nor could they fail to note MacArthur's comment that "here we fight Europe's war with arms, while the diplomats there still fight it with words." The Pentagon high command winced at this new pronouncement from the Tokyo command.
It was made evident that the military leaders in Washington, on purely strategic grounds, disagreed with MacArthur on two major points made in his letter: 1. That "utilization of the Chinese forces on Formosa is in conflict with neither logic nor (the i tradition of meeting force with maximum counter-force." 2. That "in Asia is where tTie Communist conspirators have elected to make their play for global conquest." MacArthur has declared the Chinese Communists can be defeated by expanding the war to Allied air attacks and Chinese Nationalist assaults on the mainland. A dispatch from Tokyo by AP Correspondert Russell Brines recalled that MacArthur made that position clear in his March 24 statement on the Korean war. He has also said neither side can win if the ccmbat is restricted to the Korean peninsula.
The Pentagon's opposition to iisincr Chiang's Nationalist troops remains based on substantially the objections raised when Mac-Arthur first came up with the idea last summer: 1. The troops on Formosa must be regarded as a strategic reserve, a force which may. be needed critically later if Russia chooses all-out world war. 2. They should be kept on For- WASHINGTON, April 6 (JP) The government today ordered a further cut in use of tin cans for packing civilian products for the three-month period begun April 1.
The quota for use of tin in cans for beer, pet food and various other itenvs was reduced from 90 per cent to 75 per cent of average use in 1949 or 1950. Packers of perishable foods arid a few items such as blood plasma still are permitted unlimited use of tin cans. WASHINGTON, April 6 (JP) The Air Force reported today a "substantial buildup of communist air strength in Manchuna, which borders on Korea. A spokesman told reporters, however, that the buildup had not reached the- 3,000 plane figure reported from London and other quarters. Some of these reports said Russia had given the Chinese Reds 3,000 for an expected spring offensive.
LEPOGLAVA, Yugoslavia, Apr. 6 (JP) Archbishop Alojzijc Stepi-nac, imprisoned spiritual leader of Yugoslavia's 7,000,000 Roman Catholics, says a compromi.se solution of differences between the church and this country's communistic government could and should be worked out "in the interests of both."

SCHENECTADY, N. April 6 (JP) Feed sawdust to cows? Certainly, if you treat it with electrons, say General Electric scientists. Tests have shown that sawdust subjected to irradiation with high-voltage electrons, or cathode rays, makes the pure cellulose in the sawdust digestible for cows. HOUSTON, April 6 (JP) Dr. Robert C.
Rutledge, who killed his wife's seducer, chose death to a prison cell. His 70-year sentence confirmed by the Iowa Supreme Court and, his freedom on $40,000 bail near an end, the handsome 30-year-old children's doctor wrote a last love letter to his beautiful wife. Then he executed a carefully planned suicide. The weapon was carbon monoxide and the time indefinite. But the setting was the couple's favorite spot in the countryside.

By WOLF POMERANZ TIBERIAS, Israel, April 6 (JP) Tension ran high along the Israeli-Syrian border here today as the belief spread the Syrians might retaliate at any time for last night's bombing of their troops by Israel's air force. The Jews bembed troop concentrations just over the Syrian border and in the demilitarized zone near the Sea of Galilee, they said, in reprisal for the killing by Syprian shots of seven Israeli policemen Wednesday. The whole border area here along the Galilee Sea appeared to be in a state of preparedness.
United Nations observers sent to supervise observance of the 1948 Arab-Jew armistice took a most serious view of the situation and expressed fear their staff was not sufficient to insure preservation of peace. The Israeli bombing, it was reported here, caused major damage to the border center of El Hamma, the village of Babel Hadid anl Syrian positions in those areas. It was also reported, however, that Syrian reinforcements were being sent to the El Hamma area. In Tel Aviv an official Israeli spokesman said the bombing had been "completely successful." He listed as targets the El Hamma police station and "a number of fortified positions a few meters inside Syrian territory proper, from where the Israeli policemen were fired on and killed." -0- Last Revival Service Tonight The final morning service of the revival at the First Methodist church opened with a prayer by the pastor, Dr. N.
J. Golding. The congregation sang, "Where He Leads Me," followed by a prayer given by the Reverend E. M. Shaw.
The congregation again joined in singing another grand old hymn, "I Love to Tell the Story." Preceding the sermon, M. C. Vaughan sang, "Never Alone," accompanied by Mrs. C. L.
Lomax, at the organ. For the final morning service, Dr. Lamb chose as his topic, "The Baptism of the Holy Spirit." The scriptural background of his sermon was the story of the transfiguration of Jesus on the mountain. Dr. Lamb pointed out the significance of the three characters that appeared to the disciples in a vision.
He said that they represented the three dispensations of God. "Moses," he said, "represented the Law. Elias represented the greatest of the prophets. Jesus appeared as the divine Son of God. His appearance was to call attention to the fact that God had something better in store for the disciples." "When John began preaching repentance," Dr.
Lamb stated, "that was something new. Old Testament religion was merely a matter of keeping the Law and making atonement by offering sacrifice when the law was broken." "This was not God's best in religion," Dr. Lamb pointed out. "Neither, was the dispensation of John, God's best." "The third dispensation represented by Jesus is the dispensation in which we are now living," Dr. Lamb said.
"There are a lot of people who think that religion is merely living according to a moral code. There are some people who preach as John did of baptism and repentance and that is as far as they go. We are living in the dispensation of the Holy Spirit which offers us not only forgiven ss of sins but power to overcome sin." 'Dr. Lamb closed his sermon with a testimony of what the Holy Spirit had done in his life. Tonight is the last service of the revival and the time of the service has been changed to 7 o'clock.
The public is cordially invited to attend. 0 White President Itta Bena Cluh At the Wednesday meeting of the Itta Bena-Morgan City Rotary Club they elected the following officers for the next fiscal year beginning July 1st: Harold White, president, Marvin Gibson, vice president and Jimmy Davis, secretary and treasurer. The president appointed a committee consisting of Bill Curry, Marvin Gibson and Mack Bart-ling to work with the Lion's club committee in having a survey made looking forward to locating some essential industry in the town. Marvin Gibson who had charge of the program presented Rev. Alex Whitaker, pastor of the Presbyterian who gave some very interesting episodes on the points of every day life, illustrated by and with his usual humor and wit which was very interesting and enjoyable.
All the club members expressed disappointment in that none of our Greenwood friends were not with us. (Editor's note: This is the third in a series of four stories dealing with the 1 question: What has happened to American public morality?) By RELMAN MORIN NEW YORK, April 6 (JP) Remember the Kinsey report? "It shocked a great many people," a noted scholar said today, "but in point of fact, there was nothing new in it at all. And there is nothing new in this so-called crisis in political or business morality today." Dr. Irwin Edman, who express-ed these views in an interview, is executive of the department of philosophy at Columbia University. For more than 10 years nis writings on morals and ethics have commanded wide attention.
He has been studying the subject for nearly 35 years. He agreed that the recent disclosures of corruption in government, the reports of widespread gambling, gangsterism and "fixing" may indicate a critical low-point in public morality. "But there has been a somewhat hysterical exaggeration of the decline of morals," he said. He recalled the insurance scandals of 1904, the teapot dome case in the Harding administration, and the Seabury investigation following that. "And if you want to go all the way back," Dr.
Edman said, "take a look at the things Paul said to the Corinthians about the stata of their morals." That, he said, is not depressing, in itself. "What is depressing is that, in all these years, there has been so little progress, so little reform." There are several reasons lor it in this country, Dr. Edman said. "People are cynical today, or in despair, because they have lost confidence in the old standards and the old cliches. These have not yet been adequately re-stated in terms of conditions as we see them.
"Moreover, the individual is appalled by the size and complexity of life. He doesn't feel that he can do much to change conditions, however bad they may be. Even in government, officials feel helpless. Government has grown to big for any one man to affect very much. "So people are discouraged." But like some other observers, Dr.
Edman expressed confidence in this generation of college students. "They may come up with something new and he said. "At the moment, they are fairly hard-boiled. They don't beiieve in success stories. They don't expect to earn a million dollars in a quick killing, or be famous overnight.
And they don't like the looks of some of the people who have done that. "I have been struck by the numbers who are going into what you can "call a dedicated life, into professions like academics where success i.s not measured by ordinary standards. And a great many are preparing themselves for government, not in order to get in on the graft, but to try to make it the way they would like to have it." They sense, but have not defined, their own ideals, Dr. Edman said. "The old cliches are a joke to them," he added.
Dr. Edman illustrated the point with a story of an acquaintance, a veteran of World War II, who voluntarily placed himself on the Army's active list. Said the vet: "I'm willing to fight for America again. But I'm not fighting for what they call 'the American way of That kind of talk makes me sick. It isn't that stuff.
It's something else." In the same way, Dr. Edman said, older individuals are looking for a re-valuation. "They don't want either a mechanical socialism or an anarchic system of free enterprise. They sense something else but haven't yet defined it, any more than that soldier did." -O- Labor Gets Back On Advisory Body WASHINGTON, April 6 (JP) President Truman has wooed organized labor back into the defense planning fold with membership of a 17-man Advisory Mobilization Board. Union leaders agreed to the proposal late yesterday after a lengthy White House conference with Mr.
Truman. The president was reported "very happy" they'd decided to take a hand. The labor chiefs said they hoped the move would lead to a complete solution of the problems which started their boycott of the mobilization program five weeks ago The board will hold its first meeting Monday. Mr. Truman is expected to sit in on it.
The board, -made up of four representatives each from labor, industry, agriculture and the public, and headed by Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson, will help Mr. Truman determine defense policy. Esco Williams of Summit, will be a member of the 1951 group of American 4-H Cluh representatives spending thrae months in Europe this summer as part of the international farm youth exchange program. Farmer.s needing early grazing are urged by W.
II. Thompson, Extension pasture specialist, to plant an early crop of millet or Sudan. "Although the regular time for planting these crops late May or June, if grazing is needed badly enough, it will pay to plant one of these crops in April," he said. Incomplete reports from the Accident Bureau of the Mississippi Highway Patrol reveal that CD persons were killed on Mississippi streets and highways during the month of March. This is three more than were killed in March of 1950, when 36 persons were killed.
This brings the total killed by traffic accidents in Mississippi for the three month period to 111. Rep, Rankin (D-Miss) today called the government price control order on cotton "one of the vicious communistic outrages ever perpetrated against the cotton farmers. It may take somo impeachments to secure relief from this communistim program," Rankin said in a statement. -O- Senior Play Set Tonight The Senior Class play this year is a three act comedy, Brother Goose, by William Davidson.

Max. 76.8 Min 49.7 Today 31ax.65.3 Min. 58.0 Jliver 36. 94 rise .06 Rainfall .09 By OLEN CLEMENTS TOKYO, April 6 (JP) A surprise Chinese withdrawal on tha central front last night left a "no-man's-land" in front of United Nations forces today north of Parallel 3S. AP Correspondent John Randolph said Chinese who had been fighting stubbornly for two days suddenly broke contact Thursday night and retreated.
A field dispatch said Allied units along tne central front pushed ahead Friday against resistance ranging from stiff to none. Reds threw 56 rounds of 105 mm. fire at one American division. Thai and Greek soldiers forged ahead against intense Communist rifle and automatic weapons fire. British Commonwealth units driving northwest of Chunchon scored sizable gains against a surprising lack of opposition.
On the extreme east sector of the western fiont, one American division ran into two fire fiffhta as it fought ahead through hilly country. The Allied advance had thrust as much as eight miles inside the Communist Northland. Elements of four divisions pressed the slow, cautious United Nations advance on the central and western fronts. American, British, Greek, South Korean and Thai (Siamese) troops fought ahead from hill to hill. On the east coast, two South Korean divisions ranged 15 miles north of the border.
All but a few Chinese and Red Korean stragglers had been driven from battered Korea. The die-hards blocked the Hag-gye-Inje road east of Chunchon on the mountainous central front. Americans battered up that road behind heavy artillery fire, but they still were south of Parallel 38. The Reds controlled ridges on both sides of the road. Once the read is opened to Allied traffic, the front will extend from the Imjin 'river in the west to the Japan Sea on the east all of it in North Korea.

Row Breaks Out At Verona School VERONA, April 6 (JP) The strife-torn school board of this little northeastern Mississippi town (pop. 500) remained at loggerheads today over firing high school Superintendent C. C.
Bobo. Three board members complained that the supeiintendent does not maintain discipline. The superintendent countered by whipping 23 students who violated his orders not to picket the three trustees. At a meeting of the five-member board last night, board Chairman George Sample and another member, Frank Estes, walked out. They have been supporting Bobo.
The other members elected a new chairman, Sam Patterson, and said they would elect a new superintendent later. The board recently voted 3-2 against renewing Bobo's contract for the next school year. One hundred seventy patrons of the school presented a petition to Archie Weatherford, Lee county superintendent of schools, asking for the resignation of all five trustees. Bobo's two supporters have offered to resign if their three opponents would do likewise. mosa to cieiend that island against Chinese Communist invasion attempt because Formosa is a vital outlying vastion ior defense of Japan.
3. If the Nationalist troops were committed to action in the vast area of the Chinese mainland against the millions of men available to Communist China they might be cut up and become militarily valueless. 4. The supply problem in taking care of the large force of Nationalists in actual warfare would be acute, especially when pyramided on the already difficult Korean war logistics program. The Pentagon chiefs also do not subscribe to MacArthur's belief that the Communists have picked Asia as the major arena.
Secretary of Defense Marshall last week told a news conference he believed the "world" situation was more si nous than last fall. In doing- that, it was evident he meant new dangers lay outside Korea and the Communist war in Asia. -0- Local Group To Talk Industries There will be a business meet-: insr of Leflore County Business Men's League in. the auditorium of Leflore county courthouse, 7:30 Tuesday night, April 10.
