British Had No Port in M'Arthur Firing
The White House said President Truman was not influenced by Britain or any foreign power in firing Gen. Douglas MacArthur as Far Eastern commander on April 11 1951. Press Secretary Joseph Short rejected Emmanuel Shinwell’s assertion that Britain influenced the decision. British protests over not being consulted about U S air raids on Yalu power plants drew GOP criticism in Congress urging Britain to rethink Korea involvement.

Who Should Pay for Long Beach Fluoridation Plan
Long Beach weighs funding for a water fluoridation program with an estimated startup cost of 70,000 dollars. Water department head Brennan Thomas argues it should be financed by the general city government as a public health measure, not charged to water users, since large industrials gain no benefit. City Councilors plan to put the issue to a November vote, hoping the water department will handle implementation if approved.
