Ma©Arthur Flouts Orders
HE senate's ruling that star wit-
nesses in the MacArthur hearings
will not have to testify regarding
confidential conversations presum-
ably will hold for confidential con.
versatlons between Gen. Omar
Bradley and the other members of
the joint chiefs of staff.
However, some of their private
reactions during the MacArthm
discussions are significant. Inside
fact is that the Joint chiefs were
extremely nervous about the idea
of ousting MacArthur and took care
to avoid the word "recommend" in
reporting to the White House that
MacArthur be fired.
Instead, and after considerable
private debate, they decided to use
the words "militarily advisable."
Therefore, a report that it was
"militar'ily advisable" to relieve
MacArthur was signed by all four
of the joint chiefs.
Despite t h i s compromise-
wording there was no question
among the Joint chiefs that
MaeArthur should go. There
were three general reasons for
this view, and it is interesting
that none of them really agreed
with Truman's reasons--name-
ly, MacArthur's flouting of or-
ders by discussing foreign pol-
icy.
Reason No. 1 was the fact that
the joint chiefs considered Mac.
Arthur too rash as a military com-
mander and likely to let American
forces in for more trouble.
Tying MacArtbur's Hands
That was why they actually tied
his hands with the military direc-
tive regarding the bombing of Chi-
nese bases. They decided that he
could bomb Chinese bases if--and
there were two very big ifs--1. The
Communists threw in enough air
power to jeopardize our ground
troops; or 2. It the Chinese attacked
any U.N. ships or installations out-
side Korea.
But MacArthur was given a fur-
ther directive that before he could
do any bombing in either of the
above categories he must first con-
sult the joint chiefs. In other words.
what might provoke MacArthur into
bombing Manchuria might not be
enough to provoke the joint chiefs.
They didn't trust his judgment, were
afraid he would interpret these con-
dltions far more liberally than they.
Reason No. 2 was the fact that
MacArthur was not one to take
suggestions or guidance from the
|oint chiefs. While it is J.C.S pol-
icy not to dictate to the commander
in the field, they do reserve *.he
right to give general guidance and
make suggestions.
And they were quite provoked
during MacArthur's November ad-
vance into North Korea that he ig-
nored their warning that there was
no battle communication between
General Walker's 8th army and
General Almond's 10th corps. When
the joint chiefs warned MacArthur
about this, he replied, rather cold-
ly, that there was sufficient liaison.
However, the joint chiefs, still
not satisfied, asked MacArthur a
second time why General ALmond
and his 10th corps were operating
independently of -the 8th army,
leaving a big gap between the two
forces. MacArthur replied, uncon-
vincingly, that General Almond
and his 10th corps were drawing
Chinese pressure away from the
8th army.
Later, when the Chinese struck,
they picked the hole that had war.
ried the joint chiefs, and smashed
right into the vacuum between the
10th corps and the 8th army.
Reason No. 3 however, what ti-
nnily got the Joint chiefs really sore
at MacArthur was the way his
statement about using Chiang Kat-
Shek's troops in Korea killed the
universal military training bill.
For months the Joint chiefs
had set their hearts on passing
universal military training for
the first time in the history of
the nation. But two days after
MacArthur's statement urging
that we use Chiang's Formosan
troops, the U,M.T. bm was
dead. MacArthur hnd killed it.
For congress was under lm.
mediate fire from the voters
to use Chinese troops instead of
expanding the draft.

Pitching Troubles
K VETERAN pitcher was talk-
g
ing about the troubles, trtals,
¢ribulations and woes that attack
modern pitchers.
"In the old days," he said, "up
to 1920, pitchers were throwing a
comparatively dead ball. Frank
Baker earned his nickname of
Home-run Baker with nine home
runs one season. Gil Hedges of the
Dodgers already had nine this sea-
son before the first month was over.
"Today, s flock of ballplayers hit
from 20 to 50 home runs a year. So
the pitcher can't aS-
GrantlanO Rk:e
ford to give good
hitters a good-look-
ing ball. They must
work for the corn-
ers, high and low.
Also, there are too
many short fences
or walls where a
pop fly is good for
a home run.
"There's another
matter that works
against modern pitching. In the old
days most of the good pitchers com-
pleted most of their games. They
were allowed to give up a few hits.
bases on balls and runs. But today
it's different. After a hit and a base
on balls the bull pen gets busy. At
least two relief pitchers are hard
at work. Somebody comes from the
bench to talk it over with the pitch-
er. The pitcher knows that one more
hit or one more pass means his
day's work is over.
"! know what that feeling is.
You begin tightening up. You
start steering the ball, or try-
ing to steer it. Anyway, all your
confidence is gone. How many
times this season have you
seen one team use from four to
six pitchers? It happens a lot.
You're in a rough spot when
you know yon can't afford to
make one more mistake. Alex-
ander, Mathewsen, Johnson,
Young, etc., never had to face
situations like that."
It might be whispered, howeveL
that Alexander. Matty, etc,, had a
much clearer idea of where the
plate is located than most of the
modern bunch.
Alexander rarely gave anybody a
good ball to hit. The same was true
of Mathewson, until Matty got well
ahead. Knbwing he had to work in
40 or more games he always saved
his arm when he had a good lead.
• 'Now the outfielders can get in the
game," he'd tell you.
For example, in 1908, Ed Walsh
worked in 66 games, winning 40
and saving 10 others. Matty worked
in well over 50 games, winning 37
and saving eight or ten others.
When he pitched that play-off game
in 1908 against the Cubs, he could
just about lift his arm.

Taking Out the Gamble
Everything connected with racing
is supposed to be a gamble. It
doesn't quite work out that way.
With the big purses thrown onto
the scene, the art or science or
luck of breeding has brought an in-
vestment angle to the turf that is
sound enough for many breeders to
follow with a smile.
For example, you can take
the breeding farms of George
Widener's Ehnendorf Farm and
Dale Slmffer's Coldstream Stud
at Lexingten, Ky.
An excited statistician has fig-
ured it out that in recent years
these two breeding centers have
sold 3/4 yearlings. These horses
won a total of $5,788,066, an
average of $15,476 catch. Their
aggregate selling price, we are
Informed, was $3,Z.$, an
average of $9,579 each. This Is
an average of some U, per
horse profit for the buyer, which
in bulk is a handsome dividend
and encourages future sales.
For many years Calumet,
through purses a n d sales,
passed a $1,000,000 or more rate
"each year.
We have an idea that no one
stable will reach, or come close
to reaching, the mimon dollar
mark in 1951.
Owner Jack Amiel has alread$
lifted nearly $100,000 from the
Derby. Great Rush won close to
$150,000 in the Maturity Stakes, but
this stable won't wm very much
more. Certainly, Mr. Amiel has no
vision of a big clean-up.
Jimmy Jones finally got another
win out of Coaltown, but Citation
blew another start. You feel almost
the same way about Citation as you
do about Joe Louis.
You remember great years and
then to see these two brilllam ex-
champions floundering
Both at their peaks were rated
with the best in the game. Now both
have lost stature and prestige by
their closing efforts to handle time.
No one can hardle time except
the sun. Even clocks and calendars
wear out.

Jinny recovered
first. She turned
away and walked to the door with
her head high and went out.
Johnny sighed and sat down at
his desk. He was amazed and dis-
gusted with himself. Ten minutes
ago he had been the practical ex-
ecutive. He had rung for his secre-
tary, Miss Alyne, and a girl with
titian colored hair and blue eyes
had appeared instead.
'Tm Jinny Alison," she explained
matter-of-factly. "Miss Alyne is ill
today and I'm taking her place."
She had stood looking at him from
the other side of the chair, and
without saying a word he had
reached out and pulled her toward
him and kissed her, and she had
slapped his face.
Sitting at his desk Johnny
wondered why he hadn't noticed
Jinny Alison before. She must
be new, he told himself. Te

he wasn't going to begin now. Miss

He couldn't have a girl around

He went back to his own desk.
Well, she hadn't quit and he
wouldn't*fire her. No, he decided to
let her stay and ignore her entirely.
During the remainder of the
morning he put Miss Alison from
his mind. When he had letters to
dictate he rang for a stenographer
in exaggerated unconcern. And
when prim Abby Nathan appeared
he told himself he was relieved.
HAT night Johnny went to sleep
putting Jinny out of his mind.
:The next morning he reached the of-
fice before nine. At 9:15 he opened
the door of the outer office and
breathed easy again when he saw
that Jinny was at her post. At noon
he looked toward her desk on his
way out, caught her eye'and felt
strangely sick when she turned
coldly away. During lunch he be-
:ame pretty grim, admitting to him-
self that he was making rather a
mess of his resolve. Miss Alison
would have to go. There was no
use, he just couldn't concentrate
with her on his conscience. It would
solve the whole problem to have her

"Oh, I don't," said Jinny, hr
eyes wide.
"In fact," said Johnny, "you're
I the first one, I mean, well--" He
stopped, desperate, panicky, angry.
"Miss Alison, you're fired!"
"Oh!" said Jinny.
Johnny gulped. "No. I don't mean
that! What I mean is, I can't con-
