believed Pres
States Influence was not affected.
Next, question was what about the
reaction at home? “There was «B**j
prising unanimity over where the
people will finally stand,” Mr. $oper
reports. “-By well over a four-bo-one
count the correspondents believe the j
people finally will appreve Prestdemt
Trumans action.” "■ _ . ]
What about the effect of the^ re
moval •. on the fighting. ' in Mown?
Correspondents actually in Korea
were asked this question. A majority
of 52 per cent said they thought mo
rale had not changed as a result. 80
per cent thought morale had been
boosted, and only 8 per cent though*
morale had been lowered.
In Analyzing these replies, Mr, Ro
per explains that “at least half of
those who say morale is ‘unchanged’
believe that the decisive change for
the better in morale among the troops
took place not in April when General
MacArthur was removed hut In De
cember and January when General
Ridgway took over the Eighth Army.”
Mr; Roper added, 'The war corres
pondents flnpahsised time and again
the differences — from the trebps’
'standpoint—between MacArthur and
Ridgway.”
On the big issue of bombing bases
in Manchuria, a key point raised by
General MacArthur, the working press
“gives the general a divided verdict,”
the report states. A majority of 63
per cent says the policy of bombing
bases in Manchuria is right, bid;
mostly only In terms of the Korean
.fighting. Of these 63 only 12 percent
believe bombings would .be right un
der any conditions. Another 32 per
cent are flatly opposed to the idea,
and 5 per cent have no opinion. Mr.
Power says this qnestiion “provoked a
good deal of emotion ” ‘
General MacArthur gets his high
est praise in connection with the ae
eupation of . Japan. The working press
in Tokyo voted 91 per cent In calling
the occupation generally successful. A
high 76 per.' emit said thafhis admin
istration went as far toward demo
cratization of Japan as was possible
for an occupying power to go.
Last big question put to the cor
respondents was ^histher they felt
coverage of the issue has been fair
qnd impartial. The Roper report says
that 66 per cent answered that, they
thought press coverage was satisfac
torily handled, “while only 14 per
emit say a poor job'was done. Another
