MacArthur Rests Case With Final Warning; Blasts Truman, Britain

By Ed Creagb

WASHINGTON, May 9 - (AP) - Douglas MacArthur, an old soldier with a burning cause. rested his case before Senate in- vestigators Saturday night. He littered this final warning: The free world is ”doomed to destruct- lon" if it fails to crush complete- ly the Communist threat in Ko- rca.

The General wound up three days of virtually constant test- imony at 7 PM. EDT with a new blast at President Truman, de- nying he ever violated a pres- idential order and saying he never got a firm. workable plan from Washington to carry on the Ko- roan WIT.

MacArthur likewise assailed what he called Britain's ”complete support" of Communist China,

saying it not only runs counter to the United States best interests but "involves the very life of this nation."

He added that Britons "are cutting their own throats in fol- lowing the plans they have of such complete support of Red China and the complete support of the giving of Formosa. into the hands of a potential Red enemy."

Some of the Senators who heard him were hushed after the hours of questions and answers - est- imated at 174.000 words. Mac- Arthur, '11. lppeared until-ed as

he boarded his plane for New York.

He may be back for robuttal after the Senate armed services and foreign relations committees have heard other witnesses on his ouster, beginning with Defence Secretary George Marshall Mon- day.

Later will come Gen. Omar N. Bradley. chairman of the joint. chiefs of staff and its members: Gen. J. Lawton Collins. army. Gen. Hoyt Vandentberg. air. and Admiral Forrest Sherman, navy. State Secretary Dean Acheson will round the administration's first team.

A main line of administration defence in MacArtlvur's drive against. the policy of "limited" war in Korea. may be in contention that the General simply lacks the information to qualify him for final judgment on issues reaching outside the Orient.

Of one thing nobody had any doubt: Marshall will counter MacArthur's attack with the pin that the MacArthur way may well be the way to general war.

, Calla For Harder Blows

Time and again Saturday the deposed Far Eastern commander called for harder blows against the Chinese Communists. T

He coupled this with a solemn plea that the U. S. use its "moral leadership” to seek a mgjop. power agreement. abolishing war.

He got into the record. after military cexuorshtp held it up more than 36 hours. a message showing the U. 5. military head- .quartocs- withhold . . for him to use 80.000 or more Chinese Nationalist troops to help stem the Red Chinese onslaught of last November.

British officials also denied the Oeneralls charges. made before a joint session of the Senate's for- eign relations and armed services committees in Washington Friday.

MacArthur read a list of exports allegedto have been sent to China from Hong Kong during February

The official said he would make I statement tomorrow.

"We cannot understand Gen. MacAl'thu1"s astonishing state- ment, as quoted in the press. that Hong Kong has been giving 'sub- atantial a.sststance.' especially in gasoline is concerned completely munista in Korea this year.

"The whole statement is a gross distortion of fact. and as far as gasoline is concerned completely untrue."
