Truman Says Facts To Show He Was Right
President Truman asserted in Washington that the full facts will prove he was right in firing General Douglas MacArthur. He said MacArthur claimed CIA reports in November were unlikely, and noted CIA daily briefings to him. Truman also said Gen Walter Bedell Smith persuaded MacArthur to permit CIA operation in Japan. He dismissed MacArthur’s Senate testimony on Russia as drawn from papers. The President expressed confidence in Ambassador William O Dwyer despite the Crime Committee report.
