WEATHt* Pair and little warmer p ; VOLUME 1 General MacArthur Is Tired But Happy Following Reception In San Francisco By Frank H. Bartholomew SAN FRANCISCO, April 18—(IP) —General Douglas MacArthur, object of one of the greatest celebrations in San Francisco’s hectic history, stood in his St. Francis suite today, tired but obviously happy with his reception by a crowd estimated by police at a quarter of a million persons. “I never saw anything like this,” General MacArthur told me. “It was overwhelming.” Mrs. MacArthur and 13-year-old Arthur MacArthur concurred. , So did some 400 or more news f papermen, radio broadcasters and television experts who bucked and battled with the crowd, which was for the most part happy but at times unruly, particularly around the St. Francis. General MacArthur ordered that a few friends in the crowded cor ridor outside his suite be admitted singly shortly after he and his family were settled. I was fortunate In that I had covered General .MacArthur in his | Australian headquarters and in* the South Pacific during World War 11, as well as in Tokyo during and* after the Japanese surrender. SPEAKS OFF RECORD MacArthur spoke animatedly but off the record. It Is obvious that he Is reserving his public utterances for the climactic appearance be fore the Joint session of Congress In Washington, D. C., tomorrow. He appeared healthy, was in fine spirits and seemed to be look- I ing forward Intently to the op portunity to present his views for the first time directly to the Am erican people.

Douglas MacArthur. The administration does not un derestimate the general. Prudent precautions are being taken against miscalculations in replying to him. Truman already has maneuvered himself out of a couple of embar rassing spots. Chance had sched uled him to speak here before the American Society of Newspaper Editors tomorrow an hour after MacArthur would complete his ad dress to a joint meeting of the Congress in the House Chamber. There were embarrassing com plications. Truman’s editor hosts wondered whether they could hold their luncheon crowd together dur ing MacArthur’s televised appear ance at the Capitol. • The White House pondered Tru man’s own problem. That was 1 to go on the air and television screens for millions of Americans immed iately after MacArthur’s speech. What ,ttL say? ■ --Tor-Snswer MacArthur, Truman trtWld have bad to speak off the cuff. In the field of high policy the president is not at his belt that way. But the television kfiß radio audience might still expect him to come up with a full dress answer to the deposed general, how ever understanding his hosts were in Washington might have been of bis predicament. - There was talk of postponing Truman’s address until Friday. The problem was solved yesterday when the president’s appearance before the editors was cancelled. Chance also had fixed this Week’s regular presidential news confer ence for 4:30 P. M., tomorrow. Press Secretary Joseph Short, fresh himself from the ranks of Washington reporters, moved quick ly to protect his chief.

Malcolm J. Jernigan, who filed on Friday as the people’s candidate, advised The Record this morning that he is withdrawing from the race. Jernigan, a lifelong - resident of Dunn, said he was withdrawing on the advice of his physicians and for other reasons “best known to myself.” “I had planned an all-out, house to-house, door-to door campaign,” said Jernigan. "Furthermore, if elected, it had been my intention to devote my full time to the office and my doctors advised that this would be too great a strain for a person in my physical condition.” “OPEN-DOOR POLICY” Jernigan said he had planned to take over the private office now occupied by the city manager and to observe a regular eight-hour day, making himself available at all hours to citizens who have business with the Mayor. This would have inaugurated an "open door” policy at the city hall. “My doctors know,” declared Jer nigan, “that whenever I do a job, (Continued On Page Five) Strike Spreads To Tennessee GREENSBORO, April 18—OfM- The Southwide textile strikeihit a at Kingsport, Tenn., union official* Strike headquarters here for the Textile Workers Union of America said 150 workers threw up picket lines around the Tennessee mill at the midnight shift change.

Armored task forces lung ed toward the enemy bas tions of Chorwon and Kum hwa on a 65-mile front, dar ing the Reds to come out and fight. The communists refused. Early from reports did not give the extent of today’s penetrations, but one tank-tipped spearhead yes terday stabbed unopposed to Chig yong, 16 miles north of the 38th Parallel and burned the village to the ground. Chigyong lies nine miles north of the main UN line above the Parallel and almost on the south ern edge of the enemy’s strategic Chorwon-Kumha-Pyonggang tri angle, where the Reds have been reported massing tens of thousands of troops for a massive counter-of fensive. But while the communists ignored the challenge on the ground, they sent more than 25 of their, Soviet-built MIG-15 jet fighters against 16 U. S. F-86 Sabrejets over northwest Korea today. The Sabrejets beat off the attack, damaged one of the enemy air craft and sent the rest scurrying for safety across the border into Manchuria. B-29s BOMB AIRSTRIP It was the first appearance of communist planes in force over Korea since American planes shot damaged 33 enemy air craft over the same area last Thursday. B-29 Superfortresses sparked to day’s U. S. aerial offensive with an 11-plane riad on the Kang airstrip northeast of Pyongyang, the com munist capital. They dropped more than 100 tons of bombs on hangars, other installations and runways. Allied sources were mystified by ; the sudden communist withdrawal i on the central front. Up until early this week, the Reds have been , fighting stubbornly to prevent ex pansion of the Allied bridgehead across the 38th Parallel.
