MacArthur and White House clash spikes again
Washington reports a heated dispute between General Douglas MacArthur and the Truman Administration over how to win the Korean War. United Nations and State Department officials seek to prevent repeats of last week’s sharp exchanges. MacArthur’s Friday night statement warned of coastal attacks on China and suggested a broader policy beyond his military commands. The White House issued a statement claiming his political remarks exceed his duties while acknowledging military authority remains with UN commands. A Tokyo dispatch hinted MacArthur aimed to shift focus from Korea to China’s coastal areas.
