Gen. Douglas MacArthur was
the man of the year for 1950.
The commander of United Na
tions forces in Korea, chief of the
Allied occupation of Japan and
leader of all American troops in
the Western Pacific, wos chosen
by the editors of Associated Press
newspapers in a poll for the out
4.' standing newsmaker.
as one oi me greatest mrntory
leaders of modern times, MacAr
thur won his designation after his
“win-the-war” offensive in Korea
had been reversed.
The men close to the news gave
the general his rating over the
following, leaders in their specific
fields:
Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio*
in politics.
Secretary of State Dean Ache*
eson in foreign affairs,
j Walter Reuiher* head of the CIO
United Auto Workers in labor.
Charles E. Wilson* president of
^ General Motors* in industry.
Drs. Edward C. Kendall and
Philip S. Hench* of the Mayo Clin
ic. in science.
William Faulkner* Noble prize
*
winning novelist in literature.
The late A1 Jolson in entertain
ment.
Mrs. Perle Mesia, minister to
Luxembourg, as woman of the
year.
The editors’ nomination of Mac
Arthur as top news personality of
the year coincided with their vote
on the Korean War as the biggest
news event of 1950. From his com
mond post in Tokyo and his spec
tacular background in leading the
liberation of Far Bast ..lands ..in
World War II, MacArthur had
been a logical choice for the dir
rection of the Korean campaign.
The assignment was admittedly
tough from the time the North ko
rean Reds invaded the republic
south of the 3&th Parallel. MacAr
thur’s leadership bolstered the
morale of the defenders as they
were driven back to a precarious
beachhead. His genius turned <the
tide with the landing at Inchon.
And his assurance inspired the
Unittd Nations forces in their
i
drive toward the Manchurian bor
der to rid the peninsula of Com
munistic imerialism.
j
When the hordes of Chinese
•
Communists invaded Korea to up- j
! set the balance, MacArthur called j
the ‘turn by notifying the United
Nations of an entirely “new war.”
Overwhelmingly outnum b e r e d ,
and not authorized to use atomic I
weapons, the general was obliged
to direct a retreat.
Taft's victory over organized
labor opposition wts one of the
year's surprises in the news. It
underwrote his national standing
as "Mr. Republican."
Secretary of State Acheson won
his news laurels despite the con
troversy that has cmoldered under
foreign affairs throughout the
year. Acheson was subjected to
political fire in January. Because
of his hands-off-Formosa policy—
later was reversed. He was at
tacked by Senator Joseph R. Mac
Carthy on grounds that Commun
ists had (been harbored in the
State Department. His character
references in favor of Alger Hiss,
later convicted of perjury, arous
ed more criticism. And his name
became a shiboleth in the'Novem
ber elections.
The five-year General Motors
contract based on the gearing of
wage-rises to the cost of living in
an effort to insure peace -between
labor and management in the au
tomobile industry won the edi
tor’s votes for Reuther in labor,
and Wilson in industry.
Medical miracles wrought by
Cortisone and ACTH, new wonder
drugs, brought recognition to the
Rochester, Minn., doctors—Ken
dall and Hench. The Nobel prize
in medicine and physiology was
awarded to them, while the Nobel
prize in literature wen to "Sanc
tuary's" author. Mississippi-born
Faulkner and won him his place
in the news many years after his
heyday in literature. ^
A1 Jolson’s recognition was be
lated. His sudden death after a
strenuous tour of the Korean war
zone shocked the nation that
loved his songs and comedies.
And crowning the achievements
of women, Mrs. Perle Mesta’s suc
cess as U. S. minister to Luxem
bourg, revealed the quality that
had been hidden under the tinsel
of her famous social function in
Washington. “Call Me Madam,”
the musical hit was supposed to
be Broadway’s back-hand tribute
to her genius.

Truman Not Satis

More Tax Billions

during World War II.
Mr. Truman, who had asked
that this bill hike taxes by four
billion dollars, was critical of
some of its provisions.
He said some Matures of the
new measure will probably give
an undue advantage to some cor
porations “especially in relation to
the tax burdens necessarily borne
by others.” ;•
, 'But Mr. Truman also had praise
for Congress. He said it acted with
commendable speed in completing
what he described as a complex
piece of legislation. It thus provid
ed evidence, he stated, that the
nation is determined to finance its
huge defense program without
jeopardy to the stability of the
economic system.
