Army denies gag on MacArthur speech to Congress
The Army says it did not seek an advance copy of General Douglas MacArthur’s congressional remarks to censor him. Public information head Maj. Gen. Floyd S. Parks notes the directive on advance reviews applies only to officers with active assignments, not to MacArthur, who remains on the active list only in name. He admits a request for the speech was mistaken as pre censorship by a subordinate, and clarifies no intent to gag the general. The White House says Truman’s reasons for firing MacArthur were sent to Tokyo, while Democrats in the Senate press a series of speeches on the dismissal and its implications.
