As a member of the state senate, he - fathered the city manager law. ( After moving to Beatrice, Mr. 1 McMullen extended the field of ' his political activity.

Hugh dutle. <r., Neb.) hn« made the following statement regarding President Truman’s re moval of Oentral MacArthur: "I am shocked and deeply dis appointed at the President’s ac tion in relieving Gentral MacAr thur from nil his commands. If the President, for domestic or in ternational political reasons, felt that MacArthi r should be re lieved as Commander of the United Nations forces, that is one 'objective. But, to withdraw from the Pacific scene a man who has done a superb job in the occupa tion of Japan, and who has earned the respect of Asiatic peoples, makes the President’s action one of the prime diplomatic blunders of this administration, j “An examination of the record makes it perfectly clear that we have sacrificed MacArthur to the British lion. We are keeping Hong Kong secure for he British in terests at the expense of two hun dred thousand American soldiers who are told they mujt stay in the fight in Korea, but must not secure themselves against possible annihilation. The British want no war in Asia th?t would bring re taliations against Hong Kong, but they welcome a sufficient military force in Korea to engage the Chi nese Communists in a manner that further secures nun* rvong nna nllows a lively British trade through that city. “The one ray of hope from this incident Is that General MacAr thur may be able to return to the United States and offer his gre. t knowledge of the Far Eastern sit uation to our confused diplomats and our poorly Informed public." _ _ Roof Leak—?
