That decision, he ,.d. h;,s not
been affected by what he c.dled the
ruckus kicked up by the great gen

This was an obvious rcfereiv to
Oen. Douglas MacArthur, wham he
ousted from all his command .
Korean Tactics
Asked about military ob. lives
in Korea, the President aid that
commanders in the field havt abso
lute control over tactic, nd trat
egy and always have had.
Thi was his only comment on an
assertion by Lt. Gen. Janie A. Van
Fleet that the 8tli Army "is at
tacking along the entire front and
there is no limitation on its objec
tives.”
Mr. Truman replied in the nega
tive when he was asked if that con
stituted any change in policy in
Korea.
U. S. — Battlefront
Mr. Truman volunteered his peace
remarks at a moment when que •>
tioning had lagged in his weekly
meeting with reporters.
He told the correspondent., he
had something to tell them, and
went on to say that in the event
of another World War. this country
would be that it has not been before
in World Wars — a battlefront.
He said he thinks the people hive
enough energy and intelligence tr

The President at the .-cmc time
called upon the country to ol, :rve
Memorial Day as a day "to pray for
permanent peace as well as to honor
the heroes of past wars."
On the political issue, there has

columnists that Mr. Truman might
be inclined to run again to put be

connection with MacArthur’s firing.
Mrs. Truman’s Views
While Mr. Truman wouldn’t say
what he intends to do, he did tell
he newsmen he would regard an
other try, if he made it, as a race
for a second, rather than a third
term.
The President confirmed what
correspondents have known all
along, that Mrs. Truman does not
want him to seek another term.
Mrs.’ Truman, he said, never has
beert enthusiastic about his holding
public office, but she’s had to put
up with it for 30 years.

were not reimbursed under the Fed
eral Airport Act.
"As a result of this situation,”
the report stated, 'the actual cost
of all new improvements on the air
port would be borne solely by the
Federal Government.”
Subterfuge"
The report cited three circum
stances which the committee said
indicated "subterfuge.”
It said the final project applica
j tion certified the Territory planned
I to spend approximately $148,000 for
I the airport land and construction,
although there were no appropria
tions made for it, and ' Territorial
officials testified it was not planned
to use any new funds other than
Federal matching funds in im
provement of the airport.”
“Wash Sale”
It referred to the transaction be
tween officials of the Alaska Aero
nautics Commission and the Palmer
Airport Association as “a wash sale.”
It said the deal was “arranged to
have an unreasonably high appraisal
value” placed on the property.
"George S. Schwamm, Territorial
Director of Aeronautics, and Stanley
McCutcheon, attorney for the Aero
nautics division, took leading parts
in this ‘wash sale‘,“ the report con
tinued. "However, the other mem
bers of the commission must accept
a share of the blame and responsi
bility for the transaction.”
False Certification
It also cited the Territory’s ini
tial application for project aid, in
which it was certified that the Ter
ritory held title to a portion of
the airport property.
“The investigation revealed that
at the time of the first project ap
plication,” the report stated, "the
