Douglas MacArthur, like any decent .man, should give his solution te the Korean war. Mr. Truman told a news confer ence that MacArthur and Presi dent-elect Eisenhower both have a duty to come forward immediately with any solution they may have which will end the conflict and save American lives. DOUBTS PLAN WORKABLE He added, however, that he could see no good purpose for a personal meeting with MacArthur or Eisen hower,-indicating doubt that either of them has a workable plan. Mr. Truman said that MacAr thur has a particular duty to come forward with any proposal for a Korean solution since he, as a five-star general, is on active duty and will be for all his life. Expressing" doubts that Mac- Arthur has anything worthwhile, however, Mr. Truman said he trav eled 14,400 miles to see the former Pacific commander at Wake Island once and all he got was a lot of misinformation. The Wake Island trip was in October, 1950. He said the information was to the effect that Chinese Commun ists would not enter the Korean conflict; it would be possible to send a division from Korea to Ger many for occupation purposes, and ! little girls and boys that will be j looking for you.

He | said he has never seen MacArthur j since his return to the United I States and he doesn’t want to see I him. Mr. Truman took the position ; that as a five star general in ac- I tive service MacArthur had the duty to report to his commander | in-chief upon his return from the I Pacific and at any other time he ! has any ideas for the good of the j country.
