to 40.000 and the May quota was reduced from to The army said the cutbacks were made because of the greater ser of men volunteering for ice and ties in Korea Presumably the same factors en- to pay the bloody price they've been paying By U.S eighth army estimate the price is close to Red casualties since their offensive ed April 22 The eighth army revised its estimate of day's communist losses to

expressing such differences to people in life General Firm But MacArthur refused to con- cede he had done anything wrong As on Thursday reporters were barred from the hearing sessions so the manner in which the delivered their exchanges was not known From the censored transcript sent to them it was plain however that there was of- ten considerable heat in the words In the senate Republicans who have been fighting to open up the hearings to the public pushed it to a vote but lost 41 to 37 McMahon's questions ranged into MacArthur's statement last fall that he hoped to have his boys home by
