Eighty members answered the first roll call Thursday morn-, tag. and largest record for the day was 88. That is out of a total mem bership of 119, exclusive of the speaker, who was present but did not vote.

Members were allowed to smoke in their seats, and no point qr order was made when a representative addressed the chair from a seat other than his own. The record of bills introduced and ratified indi cates the heatfy amount of work loft to be done by this assembly. Through Thursday there had been 1843 bills introduced and 891 rati fied.

S. to fight for the i Far Eastern policies that led !to his ouster by President Truman. He is scheduled to arrive in San Francisco sometime after dusk Tuesday—the first time he will have set foot in the U. S. in 14 years.

(5:28 a. m. EST).

S. govern ment and of the United Nations. " However, MacArthur maintained a tigh-lipped silence on political and military matters. It appeared that his reply to his ouster aa supreme U. S. and United Nations Far Eastern commander would await his arrival in his homeland— perhaps his appearance before Congress. .) Only 200 persons. including Military and civilian officials, their "dfpetfdertts ahd the press, ' were permitted to welcome the Mac- Arthurs at Hickam Field.
