MacArthur Probe Aims For Rapid Wrap Up In Weeks

The seven week inquiry plans to sharply reduce witness lists and finish within two weeks. Expected next witness is Presidential Adviser W Averell Harriman. Senator Russell says findings will be issued, possibly with a unanimous report on some aspects, though key issues on MacArthur's firing, China policy, and Korea strategy may divide members. He notes debates over a naval blockade, air strikes on Manchuria, Nationalist troops, and air reconnaissance limits. A cease fire with the Reds is contentious, with Capehart calling such a settlement merely a seventh inning stretch.
