Advisers Did Not Press MacArthur Ouster, Bradley Says
Washington May 23 AP Bradley told Senator Wiley that he would not comment on individuals at Truman’s conferences on firing Mac Arthur. He repeated that MacArthur’s Korean plan would not end the war, only possibly help, and testified he believes MacArthur first proposed U S ground troops. He agreed the U S may need to arm Chiang Kai-shek, warning it could provoke U S Soviet war. Bradley denied Korea is at stalemate and noted Truman ordered air and naval power use.
