Douglas MacArthur has proved again he is one of the Truman administration's hottest p-otatoes. His latest challenge of ad ministration policy and Washington authority was burning fingers today at the White House, the State Department and the Penta gon.

MacArthur's letter to a Re publican leader, Rep. Joe Martin of Massachusetts, warmly endorsing Martin's demand the thousands of Chinese Nationalist troops on Formosa under command of Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek to be used in action against the Chinese and Korean Communists, had potentialities in at least three fields: 1. Domestic politics. 2. International politics, including the United Nations program in the Far East.

3. Military strategy. While MacArthur's letter promptly raised speculation about possible disciplinary action against the five-star general there was serious question whether the White House would risk a bitter fight in Congress by removing him from command or promoting him out of it After reading MacArthurs letter to the House yesterday, Martin made it evident that here was the material for an issue. He said: "I think it is high time that the administration and the Pentagon came clean with the Congress and the American people." Acheson Chagrined The State Department, which has been openly unhappy on previous occasions over MacArthur's frank and free discussions of diplomatic obviously -was chagrined again. The general's latest writings had come to light at a time when American diplo mats were trying to quiet the worry or allies over Chinese reaction to a new push into North Korea.

Nor could they fail to note MacArthur's comment that "here we fight Europe's war with arms, while the diplomats there still fight it with words." Pentagon Winces The Pentagon high command winced at this new pronouncement from the Tokyo command. It was made evident the mili tary leaders in Washington, on purely strategic grounds, disagreed with MacArthur on two major pouiis maue ui iu icuci, 1. That "utilization of the Chinese forces in Formaso is in conflict with neither logic nor (the) tradition of meeting force with maximum counter-force." 2. That "in Asia is where the Communist conspirators have elected to make their play for global conquest." MacArthur has declared the Chinese Communists can be defeated by expanding the war to include Allied air attacks and Chinese Nationalist assaults on the mainland. Made Clear Earlier A dispatch from Tokyo by AP correspondent Russell Brines recalled that MacArthur made that position clear in his March 24 statement on the Korean war.

He has also said neither side can win if the combat is restricted to the Korean peninsula. Th Pentagon's opposition to using Chiang's Nationalist troops remains based on substantially the objections raised wKen MacArthur first came up with the idea last summer: 1. The troops on Formosa must be regarded as a strategic reserve, a force which may be needed critically later if Russia chooses all-out world war. 2. Thev should be kept on For mosa to defend that island against Chinese Communist invasion attempt because Formosa is a vital outlying bastion for defense of Japan.

3. If the Nationalist troops were committed to action in the vast area of the Chinese mam land against the millions of men available t.i Communist China. they might be cut up and become militarily valueless. 4. The supply problem in taking care of the large force of Nationalists in actual warfare would be acute, esoecially when pyramided on the already difficult Korean war logistics program.

The Pentagon chiefs also do not subscribe to MacArthur's belief that the Communists have picked Asia as the major arena. Secretary of Defense Marshall last week told a news conference he believed the "world" situation wss more serious than last fall. In doing that, it was evident he meant new dangers lay outside Korea and the Communist war in Asia. FIREWORKS MAKERS KILLED ISTANBUL, Turkey (P) Explosion of a fireworks plant In the building housing the American consulate at Izmir killed two plant employes, police reported today. There was no damage to the consulate To Central Front Fray TOKYO A surprise Chinese withdrawal on the central front last night left a "no-man's land" in front of United Nations forces today north of Parallel 38.

AP correspondent John Randolph said Chinese who had been fighting stubbornly for two davs suddently broke contact Thursday night and retreated. Americans thrusting forward Friday reported only partol con tact. All along a 40-mile stretch of the front, UN. units forged slow gains. The allied advance had thrust as muct as eight miles inside the Communist northland.

Elements of four divisions pressed the slow, cautious United Nations advance on the central and western fronts. American, British, Greek. South Korean, and Thai (Siamese) troops fought anead irom hill to hill. On he east coast, two south Korean divisions ranged 15 miles north of the border. Few Stragglers Left All but a few Chinese and Red Korean stragglers had been driy en from battered South Korea.

The die-hards blocked the Haggye-Inje road east of Chun-chon on the mountainous central front. American battered up that road behind heavy artillery fire, but tney sun were south or Jfarallel 38. The Reds controlled ridges on both sides of the road. Once the road is ODened to al lied traffic, the front will extend from the Imjin River in the west to the Japan sea on the east all of it in North Korea. Allied forces on the western front have bumped up against solid concrete fortifications.

Red defenders were guarding the flank of a massive Communist buildup for an expected spring offensive. Tank Force Returns A U.S. tank force that lumbered almost eight miles into North Korea on the west-central front Thursday fought off a Red mortar and artillery attack, smashed a bridge and killed at least 24 Chinese before it returned to its main line. AP Correspondent Leif Erickson at U.S. Eighth Army a d-quarters said Friday powerful American artillery and air attacks had a ed the Communist positions.

The Thurston soldier, who was 20 last January 15, apparently had been in Korea only a very shert time when he was killed because the last letter received from him, dated February 12, stated he was still in Japan. Broyles, one of nine children, enlisted in the Army May 13, 1949.

He was trained at Fort Knox, Ky. and Ft Devens, Mass. He had attended Thurston High School. He visited relatives on the 10- day furlough, and reported back to camp last January 13, men went overseas six days later to Japan. Broyles was believed attached to a unit of the U.

Death Chosen By Doctor To Prison Term HOUSTON, Dr. Robert Rutledge, Jr, 30, who killed his wife's seducer, chose death to a prison celL His 70-year sentence confirmed by the Iowa Supreme court and his freedom on $40,000 bail near an end, the handsome children's doctor wrote a last love letter to his beautiful wife. Then he executed a carefully planned suicide.

The weapon was carbon monoxide and the time indefinite. But the setting was the couple's favorite spot in the countryside. "Love is fleeting," he wrote the blonde, statuesque Sydney. "Forget about time will cure lot of grief." Rutledge's body was found in his automobile late yesterday. There was proof it had been there all day, probably al Wednesday night.

His suicide was the last act in a case that included murder of Byron Hattman and one of tha most torrid and sensational trials in the history of American law. The lives and loves of Rutledge, his wife, and Hattman were unfolded in a Cedar Rapids, la, courtroom in 1949. There Sydney testified she was forced to submit to Hattman after a boat ride and drinking party in July, 1948. The defense argued Rutledge was defending the sanctity of his home; the state that Rutledge lay in wait in a hotel room, knocked Hattman out with a blow on tha head and stabbed him "with surgical precision and skill." Rutledge bought a hose, ran it from his car's exhaust pipe, thru a window and taped it in place. With three heavy medical books holding down the accelerator, he waited for death at a field eight miles Irom town where he and his wife often went to fly model airplanes.

"I love you," he ended the letter to his 25-yearold wife, who had to be given sedatives for serious shock. But the love he further expressed was not made public, Czech Ambassador To U.S. Replaced WASHINGTON (AP) Communist Czechoslovakia has, notified the State Department it is replacing its ambassador to th U.S. Vladimir Outrata, Department officials, in reporting this today, said Outrata apparently has been purged along with top Czech diplomats in London and Paris.

GermanyfAP) The American Army has been buying meat from behind the iron curtain and paying dollars for it, German wholesalers disclosed to They said they have imported beef from Hungary for U.S, oc cupation personnel in Germany and have been promised help by American officials in obtaining pigs from Poland. A shipment of 30,000 pounds of prime Hungarian beef was de livered by one German slaughter house to U.S. Army commissaries last month. The Hungarian cattle arrived in West Germany by freight train and were inspected by Army vet erinarians before they were but chered.

The German whoesalers received an average price of 40c a pound from the Army for the beef and paid Hungary in dollars Xhere is no embargo on non-strategic trade with Russian-dom inated eastern Europe. The U.S, State Department, however, tries to discourage the flow of dollars to iron curtain countries, which use them to obtain scarce war materials on the world market, In a recent announcement that it was launching a "test program" for buying meat in Europe, the Army quartermaster headquart ers at Heidelberg admitted that it "does not specify any sources of supply to (German) contractors, (It) is only interested in the quality of the meat, slaughterhouse conditions and compliance with delivery, specifications." The quartemaster plan calls for eventual purchase of 75 7o of com. missary meat requirements from European producers. Asked to comment on the ship' ment of livestock from Hungary, American officers at Heidelberg said: This headquarters has no knowledge of transaction of i nature.

Torresola and a White House guard, Leslie Coffelt, were killed in a furious exchange of pistol shots. "I am not pleading for my life," Collazo told the judge. "I'm pleading for my cause. Anything that I hove done I did for the liberty of my country. I insist, even unto the end, that we have a right to be free." Collazo's wife, Rosa, 42, heard her husband doomed without any show of emotion.

Afterward she told reporters her husband's death, will not weaken' the cause of Puerto Rican independence "but will make it Sentence Mandatory "I' will stay side by side to him," Mrs. Collazo added.

doned so far as a statement by Mr. Truman is concerned. What now appears more likelv is an early speech by Secretary of State Acheson defining the political problems and purpose of the Korean conflict The differences between Washington and London is said to have come over how far to go in trying mauce ine cninese Commun ist to open peace talks now. Britain is said to favor an an. peal for Chinese participation ui peace talks while the U.

S. insisted that many doors are already open to the Chinese and that the V. N. countries would not reallv advance by showing what Wash- mgion considers to be political weakness. The whole affair, reflecting the considerable differences of attitude between London and Washington on Far Eastern policy, is involved with the widening rift between Gen.
