Mark Orr. ai Air Force reserve colonel working on his Ph.D. here, commented on the Pres ident's relieving Gen. MacArthur of his four commands: "There is no question that the President, as Commander-in-Chief, had every right to remove MacArthur, but the Japanese will be bewildered and depressed" by the smashing of their idol. "MacArthur," the Far East ex pert continued, "has become a symbol of America and all that's good in Western democracy. To the Orient he represented the bridge between East and West."

He expects to be connected with the AROTC program at 'some Southern college or univer sity. Rightly or wrongly, Orr assert ed, the people of Asia may fear that the relieving of the Supreme Commander will mean the repud iation of the ideals he has sup ported. . "The Japanese fcef that Mac Arthur understands them better than any' 'other Westerner. To them, he is Communism's great est enemy and a man who stands above politics," Orr continued. Asked what he thought the Communists would make of Mac Arthur's dismissal in their prop aganda campaign, Orr stated: "Though it is early to reckon the complete Communist reac tion, he probably will be termed as another militaristic imperial ist who was punished because he wasn't winning." When the news of Truman's ac tion first broke two days ago, a galaxy of student opinions on the situation naturally sprung up on campus. Next to the campus-wide general ejections the topic was the most 'popular in student dis cussion groups and informal bull sessions. . 1 Orr, however, represents the first Jocal spuurce of opinion with a first-hand knowledge of the subject, v ' Tryours Scheduled For ext Tuesday Tryouts for "Caesar and Cleo patra," by, George Bernard Shaw, will be held in the Forest Theater Tuesday at 4 o'clock and 7:0. p.m. The Shaw play is the last major production of the season for the Playmakers.
