Marshall Says Maclrihur Upset Peace Appeal

WASHINGTON. May a - (AP) -Defence Secretary George Mar- shall said yesterday that Gen. Mac- Arthur's peace appeal to the enemy last March destroyed for the time being any chances oi a Korean war settlement.

He said the United Nations was preparing an announcement of preparations to discuss a war set- tlement.-the announcement to come from President Truman - when MacArthur issued a state- ment March 24 that he was ready to talk peace terms with the Com- munist comander in Korea.

"In view of the serious impact of General MacArthur's statement. on the negotiations of these nat- ions," Marshall said. "it became necessary to abandon. the effort. thus losing whatever change there may have been at that time to negotiate a settlement of the Kor- ean conflict."

Marshall made this staiementin the closed-door hearing of the Senate armed services and foreign relations committees after declar- ing that. MacArthur's plans would risk an all-out war with Russia. expose Europe to attack. and per- haps split the free world into two camps.

But he hinted the United States will hit Communist China. by air and sea ii the Reds strike at American forces outside Korea, presumably those in Japan and with the 7th Fleet of Formosa.

a.m. Byrd located the Polar po- sition by astronomy and sun com- pass.

His flight increased knowledge of Polar geography, helped pave the way for obtaining important weather information. and greatly stimulated interest in the then- inianrt science of aviation.

In 1025. Byrd and Bennett pos- sessed only a desire to fly over the North Pole-no money. no plane, no personnel for an expedi- tion. Byrd asked Edsc-1B. Ford for help. . ”I don't think you will fail." said Ford as he gave him a 320.- 000 cheque. John D. Rockefeller gave him a similar sum while oth- ers also contributed funds.

The U. S. Sh-ipping Board lent. them a 3.500-ton ship; a crew of 50 men was selected. and a tri- motored Fokker was hosen as
